DJI has unveiled the Osmo Nano, a pocket-sized 4K camera designed to deliver gimbal-like stabilization in a device that weighs less than most smartphones.
The company is no stranger to compact filmmaking tools, with products like the DJI Pocket 2 proving popular among vloggers and travellers. The Osmo Nano looks to push that further, packing upgraded optics, longer battery life and improved tracking into a body small enough to slip into your jeans pocket.
4K power in your pocket
At the heart of the Osmo Nano is a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor capable of shooting crisp 4K video at up to 60fps. That’s a step up from many rivals in its class, promising better performance in low light and more detail in daylight.
DJI has also enhanced stabilization with its next-gen 3-axis gimbal, designed to smooth out walking, running and even cycling shots. ActiveTrack 6.0 is on board too, so the camera can lock onto subjects and keep them centred in frame – a feature creators will recognise from DJI drones.
Battery life now stretches up to 150 minutes on a single charge, making it one of the longest-lasting pocket cameras it has released.
A creator’s travel companion
With its compact design, the Osmo Nano is clearly aimed at vloggers, travellers and social media creators who need a lightweight but powerful option. The dual touchscreen setup makes it easier to frame yourself for selfie shooting or switch back to traditional handheld filming.
It’s also compatible with DJI’s Mimo app, allowing fast editing and sharing straight to platforms like Instagram Reels or TikTok. For newcomers, pre-set templates and automatic transitions could make it one of the most beginner-friendly video tools around.

Opinion
The DJI Osmo Nano proves that small doesn’t have to mean basic. With 4K recording, improved tracking and a genuinely pocketable form, it feels like a smart upgrade for creators who don’t want to carry a full rig. The challenge, as always, will be whether it can stand out against GoPro’s proven Hero line and Insta360’s growing range.
