Another Pocket rumor that’s basically a recycled selfie stick

DJI’s marketing machine has decided that the best way to keep vloggers awake is to slap a slightly longer arm on the same old box and call it a breakthrough. The “new” Pocket 4 looks like the Pocket 3 after a night out – same flip‑up screen, same gimbal wobble, just a bit more “C” for “cry because you paid extra”.

What the “fix” actually does

The so‑called upgrade is a longer stem to hide a bigger battery and a mysterious button that probably just toggles the LED you’ll never use. It’s a classic case of adding length to pretend there’s progress while the core still feels like a budget drone camera.

SuperPhoto 33MP – more pixels, same noise

The new “SuperPhoto” promises 33 megapixels, which basically means you can crop your blurry vlog to a fraction of its original size and still look like you shot it on a professional rig. Red flag: no sensor upgrade, just a software brag.

Zoom button – a button that does nothing

There’s a shiny zoom button that likely just tells the firmware to pretend you have optical zoom. In reality it’s a digital stretch that will make your footage look like it’s been filtered through a cheap magnifying glass.

Pricing – a gamble for your wallet

With a tag between 550 and 700 dollars, you’re paying for the brand name and the extra “C” button. If you live in the US you’ll see a higher price due to tariffs, because why not add insult to injury?

For those who think this is groundbreaking, remember the browser deprecation of default heading styles – sometimes the biggest change is just removing something you never liked.
