DJI’s latest Osmo Pocket 4P firmware update is less about adding another headline-grabbing shooting mode and more about making the tiny dual-lens camera much easier to use in real-world creator setups. And one particular accessory is getting even more interesting: Osmo FrameTap.
The September 2026 update, firmware version 01.01.71.31, adds several new features to the Pocket 4P, while FrameTap itself gets firmware v01.02.08.02. DJI’s compact camera already stands out from the regular Pocket 4 thanks to its two-camera setup: a 20mm-equivalent wide-angle camera with a 1-inch sensor and a 60mm-equivalent f/1.8 telephoto camera. It can shoot up to 4K/240fps slow motion, has 107GB of built-in storage, and uses a three-axis gimbal for stabilization.
But this update makes the Pocket 4P particularly appealing if you actually want to shoot yourself rather than just carry a very good pocket camera around.
FrameTap just got more useful
The big attraction here is still DJI’s Osmo FrameTap, a small wireless touchscreen remote that lets you control the Pocket 4P from a distance. It effectively turns the camera into a much more capable solo-shooting setup.
Instead of setting the Pocket 4P on a tripod, walking away and hoping you’ve framed everything correctly, FrameTap gives you a remote viewfinder and controls in your hand. You can start and stop recording, move the gimbal, zoom, and access other controls while monitoring the shot remotely. Reviews have found the connection responsive enough for practical shooting, with one tester reporting a range of up to 15 meters and a 60fps preview.
And now DJI is giving that setup another boost.
The Pocket 4P firmware adds 45-degree diagonal gimbal movement through the joystick, which should make remote camera movements feel considerably more flexible. That’s especially useful when you’re using FrameTap and aren’t physically holding the camera.
Think solo travel videos, talking-head clips, street interviews, family videos, or those increasingly elaborate “look what I can do with a tiny camera” shots. FrameTap takes away one of the biggest frustrations of filming yourself: constantly walking back to the camera to adjust it.
And that matters because the Pocket 4P is already unusually well suited to this kind of shooting. Its second 60mm-equivalent camera provides a dramatically different perspective from the main 20mm camera, including a more compressed portrait look. Reviewers have particularly highlighted the extra lens for interviews, portraits, and capturing details from farther away.
Log shooting gets a useful upgrade
The update also refreshes DJI’s D-Log to Rec.709 and D-Log to Rec.709 Vivid LUTs to version 2.0, with DJI saying the new files improve color reproduction accuracy and consistency.
More importantly, DJI has added D-Log 10-bit color for slow-motion footage. The company recommends pairing it with the updated LUTs, giving creators more flexibility when they want to shoot slow motion and still maintain a log-based workflow for color grading.
That’s a meaningful addition for anyone who bought the 4P specifically because it can push well beyond casual social-media footage. The camera’s ability to shoot 4K slow motion at up to 240fps is already one of its standout specifications.
The update also adds auto cloud file backup, allowing users to upload camera files to cloud storage. Depending on region and device, supported options currently include Google Drive, OneDrive, and a user’s own NAS.
There are also the usual image-quality and interaction optimizations, along with bug fixes.
And if you’re using DJI’s wireless microphones, there’s one more housekeeping detail: DJI says the Pocket 4P should be paired with compatible, up-to-date transmitters, including the DJI Mic Mini 2, Mic 3, Mic Mini, and Mic 2. The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 has also received a new firmware update.
For anyone already considering the Pocket 4P, though, this update makes the package a little more compelling. The hardware was already designed around the idea of putting surprisingly serious video capabilities in your pocket. Add FrameTap, remote gimbal control, and more flexible log shooting, and it starts looking less like a clever travel camera and more like a genuinely useful solo creator rig that happens to fit in your pocket.
