Could this be the next DJI Osmo Pocket camera? It's a little difficult to believe, but not impossible – the picture has been leaked by one the most regularly reliable leakers of DJI information, Igor Bogdanov, via his @Quadro_News account, and he has shared two versions for those worried about the digital artifacts, all of which is pretty convincing.
There is another reason to believe it, too – the addition of an extra camera. If you had to think where to go next with a successful product – and I don't know about you, but I see people with the Osmo Pocket 3 all the time – then another camera would seem a logical next step.
Extra cameras are used to provide more choice of zoom range on phone camera systems and some of DJI's drones, so why not its flagship vlogging camera?

Admittedly, I hesitate and think to myself, "Well, that does put the camera off-center on the gimbal, which means the gimbal will have to work harder to achieve a steady image." But in truth, the lens is not centered on many of DJI's camera gimbals – so perhaps the necessity is not as high as I might imagine, even though the lens is in the center of the Osmo Pocket 3.
There is a discussion to be had about whether multiple cameras with different fixed optical lengths are a better solution than a single variable optical zoom – as we became more used to with traditional compact cameras.
For lightweight deployment, however, multiple cameras do tend to win out – and it is not impossible that DJI is also thinking about using some or all of the same gimbal components on future drones (could a future, and also oft-rumored DJI Mini 5 Pro, get a dual camera system?).
Another image being circulated by Fixed Focus Digital suggests that a new Osmo Pocket is on the way and will feature a smaller OLED screen on the reverse – in a manner similar to the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro camera. That seems a little strange, as the gimbal can turn around and face in either direction on the Osmo Pocket 3. Is this more like an ill-thought-through wish list?
Users on Reddit are also asking for true D-Log instead of D-Log M, an on-device histogram and even waterproofing. The point is, almost two years on from the original Osmo Pocket 3, there are a lot of desires out there and nothing definite. We have finally started to see competitors start to come after gimbal cameras, though, so it is perhaps time DJI showed something.
