A photo of what looks like a teleconverter accessory for the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P is making the rounds. It is an add-on that could give the telephoto camera more optical reach, so you don’t have to lean so hard on digital zoom when you’re shooting something farther away.
From what’s been shared, the accessory would most likely screw or clip onto the upper telephoto lens of the Pocket 4P’s vertical dual-camera setup. People who’ve looked at the layout point out that even with a teleconverter sitting on the top lens, the lower wide-angle camera could still keep working on its own. That means you’d be able to switch between a wide shot and a tighter, optically zoomed one easily.
The Pocket 4P stacks its two cameras one above the other. When you’re shooting standard 16:9 landscape video, the vertical field of view is already a bit tighter than the horizontal one. That vertical stacking apparently makes smarter use of the leftover space in the frame, so a teleconverter barrel on the top lens is less likely to block or mess with the wide-angle lens below it.
Plenty of people already use the Pocket 4P at concerts, stage shows, sports events, plays, and while traveling. A proper teleconverter that gets you closer to the action could cut down on heavy digital cropping (and the quality hit that comes with it). If DJI ever actually makes one, it would probably land well with those users who want more optical reach without turning the little camera into a bulkier setup.
Worth stressing: DJI hasn’t said a single official word about this. We don’t know the final design, zoom factor, exact compatibility, price, or when (or if) it might show up. Everything right now is based on a leaked design image and some independent analysis of how the Pocket 4P’s dual-lens system is laid out.
