RØDE has unveiled the RØDECaster Video S, a smaller, cheaper version of its flagship production console, built for creators who want broadcast-quality video and audio from one box. The new model, priced at $499, carries the same processing power as the flagship RØDECaster Video but in a more compact frame aimed at solo streamers and podcasters.

The Video S also runs on the same octa-core processor as the full-size model, handling multi-camera switching, audio mixing, and recording from a single control surface. It’s designed for creators who want to cut the tangle of traditional rigs without losing studio performance.

“The RØDECaster Video marked a complete paradigm shift in how creators produce video content,” said RØDE CEO Damien Wilson. “With the RØDECaster Video S, we’re delivering that same power and flexibility in a more compact and flexible format”.

Three HDMI inputs, one HDMI output, and a USB-C port let users link multiple cameras or add RØDE USB microphones. Two Neutrik combo inputs with the company’s Revolution Preamps, plus built-in Series IV wireless receivers, cover both wired and wireless audio. Each channel includes APHEX processing for EQ, compression, and cleanup on the fly.

Controls are built around a scene-based layout: buttons trigger camera angles, overlays, or chroma key backgrounds instantly. An auto-switching mode changes views based on who’s speaking, while the Inspect tool previews or adjusts inputs mid-show.

Creators can stream directly to YouTube, Twitch, or any RTMP platform over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, or output to desktop software through USB. Recordings can go straight to an external drive, with each source saved separately for editing. The free RØDE Capture app turns an iPhone into a wireless dual-camera feed, linking mobile and desktop setups without extra gear.

Built at RØDE’s Sydney plant, the Video S is a clear play for the growing independent production market — including a thriving MENA creator scene increasingly moving into professional live streaming and podcasting. Compact, direct, and self-contained, it keeps RØDE’s edge in the all-in-one studio race.

DJI Teases Dual-Camera Osmo Pocket 4P For 2026 Launch

Though most technical claims for the new gimbal come from industry leaks rather than DJI’s own announcement.

dji teases dual-camera osmo pocket 4p for 2026 launch

DJI

DJI has teased a dual-camera version of its Osmo Pocket gimbal, confirming that the Osmo Pocket 4P will launch in 2026. The teaser image is the company’s first preview of the device, following months of speculation about a more advanced model in its pocket camera range.

The image shows a slightly larger device than the existing Osmo Pocket 4, with two camera modules mounted above a compact three-axis gimbal. Reports suggest one camera may use a 1-inch sensor paired with a wide-angle lens, while the second may carry a 3x zoom lens — though DJI has not officially confirmed any of these details.

According to leaks circulating ahead of the launch, the Osmo Pocket 4P could support 4K video at up to 240 frames per second, offer 14 stops of dynamic range and include 10-bit D-Log color support. Those features are commonly used by filmmakers who require greater flexibility during color grading and post-production. Reports also point to Hasselblad color tuning, continuing a partnership that has already appeared in some of DJI’s drone cameras, along with up to 128GB of built-in storage that would reduce reliance on external memory cards during longer shoots.

The device is expected to retain features from the existing Osmo Pocket 4, including a three-axis mechanical gimbal, updated ActiveTrack subject tracking and a flip-out touchscreen display. The Osmo Pocket line is aimed at content creators, vloggers, and independent filmmakers seeking compact equipment that can produce usable footage without a larger camera system.

DJI has not provided pricing or a specific launch date beyond the 2026 window. Industry observers expect the Osmo Pocket 4P to cost more than the standard Pocket 4 because of the dual-camera setup and expanded recording capabilities, though no figures have been disclosed. So far, most of the technical detail circulating around the product remains tied to leaks rather than official confirmation.
