DJI Osmo Pocket 4 recording time
At its highest bitrate, 180 Mbps, the Osmo Pocket 4 fits at least 1 hour 19 minutes in its built-in storage, and a 128 GB card adds at least 1 hour 34 minutes. Below: every card up to 1 TB, and how long one battery runs.

How long the Osmo Pocket 4 records
| Storage | At the highest bitrate (180 Mbps) |
|---|---|
| Built-in (107 GB usable) | At least 1 h 19 min |
| 64 GB | At least 47 min 24 s |
| 128 GB | At least 1 h 34 min |
| 256 GB | At least 3 h 9 min |
| 512 GB | At least 6 h 19 min |
| 1 TB | At least 12 h 20 min |
DJI gives only the camera’s highest bitrate, so these are the shortest times: every other mode uses fewer bits and records longer.
The list stops at 1 TB, the largest card DJI says the camera takes. Cards are counted as their makers count them (1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes) and keep a little room for themselves.
How long can the Osmo Pocket 4 record?
- The card
- A 128 GB card holds at least 1 hour 34 minutes at the highest bitrate; the table above has every size.
- The battery
- DJI rates one battery at 240 minutes (4 hours), measured at 1080p and 24 fps with Wi-Fi and the screen off: the best case, so plan for less.
- Whichever comes first
- A long take stops at the shorter of the two. A bigger card doesn’t help once the battery is the limit; a power bank or a spare battery does.

Built-in storage, then the card
The Pocket 4 has storage of its own: DJI lists 107 GB built in, at least 1 hour 19 minutes at the highest bitrate before a card is needed. It also takes microSD cards of up to 1 TB, which hold at least 12 hours 20 minutes.
Its top bitrate is 180 Mbps against the Pocket 3’s 130 Mbps, about 81 GB an hour, so the same card fills sooner. When it is time to edit, Shycut cuts the silences out of a long talk and joins takes, on your own device.
