Osmo Pocket 4 vs Pocket 4P vs Osmo Nano: Colour Profiles and Which LUT Pack to Use
Share
If you are choosing between Osmo Pocket 4, Osmo Pocket 4P and Osmo Nano — or you already own more than one — the colour profile question comes up fast. They do not record the same Log, and that matters when you pick a LUT.
Short answer: use the Osmo Cinematic LUTs pack from Ypresets for all three cameras. Match the LUT folder to the profile on the clip — D-Log for Pocket 4, D-Log or D-Log 2 for Pocket 4P, and D-Log M for Osmo Nano. Apply the LUT directly on the log file. Do not convert to Rec.709 first.
Colour profile comparison
Pocket 4 and Pocket 4P look related in the name, but they are different cameras with different Log options. Osmo Nano is its own camera again, and it records D-Log M.
| Camera | Log colour profile | Which Ypresets pack | Which looks inside the pack |
|---|---|---|---|
| Osmo Pocket 4 | D-Log | Osmo Cinematic LUTs | D-Log looks |
| Osmo Pocket 4P | D-Log and D-Log 2 | Osmo Cinematic LUTs | D-Log looks, plus looks that work on D-Log 2 |
| Osmo Nano | D-Log M | Osmo Cinematic LUTs | D-Log M looks |
The important takeaway is simple: Pocket 4 is not the same as Pocket 4P. If you grade Pocket 4P footage with a Pocket 4 assumption — or the other way around — colour can drift. Check the colour profile label on the clip, then pick the matching looks in the Osmo pack.
Which Ypresets Osmo LUT pack should you use?
For Pocket 4, Pocket 4P and Osmo Nano, the pack to buy is Osmo Cinematic LUTs. It is built for D-Log M, D-Log and D-Log 2 where those profiles apply, so one download covers this handheld lineup.
- Osmo Pocket 4 — shoot D-Log, then use the D-Log looks.
- Osmo Pocket 4P — shoot D-Log or D-Log 2, then use the matching D-Log / D-Log 2 looks.
- Osmo Nano — shoot D-Log M, then use the D-Log M looks.
Drop the .cube onto the flat log clip in your editor, nudge intensity if you want, and export. That is the whole workflow.
How to apply the LUTs (no Rec.709 first)
These LUTs are designed to sit directly on D-Log, D-Log 2 or D-Log M. You do not need a separate Rec.709 conversion step before the creative look. If you convert first and then stack an Osmo LUT, you will usually get the wrong contrast and colour.
- Confirm the clip is still in log (flat, low contrast, low saturation).
- Import the matching .cube from the Osmo Cinematic LUTs pack.
- Apply it once on the clip or adjustment layer.
- Adjust intensity to taste, then export.
Desktop editors such as DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, After Effects, CapCut desktop and LumaFusion all work when they can load a .cube file. CapCut mobile cannot load .cube files.
What else does the Osmo pack cover?
Beyond Pocket 4, Pocket 4P and Nano, the same Osmo Cinematic LUTs pack also supports:
- Osmo Action 4, Action 5 Pro and Action 6 on D-Log M
- Osmo 360 on D-Log M
- Compact DJI drones that record D-Log M, such as Mini 4 Pro, Air 3, Air 3S and Avata 2
If the camera menu says D-Log M, you are in the D-Log M lane of this pack. If it says D-Log or D-Log 2 on a supported Osmo camera, use those looks instead.
What about full-size Mavic D-Log?
If you are flying a full-size Mavic on D-Log (not D-Log M), the better match for aerial colour is the Drone Cinematic D-Log LUTs pack. That is a soft recommendation for drone-first shooters — not a claim that Osmo LUTs fail on Mavic footage.
Most Pocket / Nano creators only need the Osmo pack. Reach for the Drone pack when your main camera is a full-size Mavic recording D-Log.
FAQ
Is Osmo Pocket 4 the same as Pocket 4P for colour?
No. Pocket 4 records D-Log. Pocket 4P records D-Log and D-Log 2. Treat them as two cameras when you grade.
What colour profile does Osmo Nano use?
Osmo Nano records D-Log M. Use the D-Log M looks inside the Osmo Cinematic LUTs pack.
Do I need different LUT packs for Pocket 4, 4P and Nano?
No. One Ypresets pack covers all three: Osmo Cinematic LUTs. You just choose the D-Log, D-Log 2 or D-Log M looks that match the clip.
Should I convert to Rec.709 before applying the LUT?
No. Apply the Osmo LUTs directly on log. A Rec.709 conversion first usually makes the grade look wrong.
I also shoot Action or Osmo 360 — same pack?
Yes, when those cameras are on D-Log M. Action 4, Action 5 Pro, Action 6 and Osmo 360 are supported by the same Osmo Cinematic LUTs pack.
I fly a Mavic on D-Log — is Osmo still the right buy?
For full-size Mavic D-Log, start with the Drone Cinematic D-Log LUTs. Keep the Osmo pack for Pocket, Nano, Action and compact-drone D-Log M work.
Where do I get help if I am unsure which look to load?
Email hi@ypresets.com with your camera model and the colour profile shown on the clip. The Ypresets team can point you to the right folder quickly.
Final takeaway
Match the profile, not just the product name. Pocket 4 is D-Log, Pocket 4P is D-Log and D-Log 2, and Osmo Nano is D-Log M. The Osmo Cinematic LUTs pack is the one to use for all three — applied directly on log, with no Rec.709 conversion first.
