The Osmo Action helps to unlock your creative potential and builds DJI's ecosystem of quality cameras, following the hugely successful releases of the Osmo Pocket and Ronin-S.

The Osmo Action is priced £329 and is now available to pre-order from Heliguy.

DJI Osmo Action - Advanced Technology With Exceptional Image Quality

A 1/2.3-inch sensor records 12-megapixel photos and 4K video up to 60fps at 100Mbps in stunning detail, assuring high-quality footage.

The dimensions of the DJI Osmo Action are 65×42×35mm and it weighs 134g

A three-glass aspherical lens design records low-distortion content and aids in reducing warping effects for improved scenes.

The lens cap is finished with two layers of anti-fingerprint coating to keep the shot clean during use, as well as an anti-reflective coating to reduce the unwanted effects of lens glare, giving users more flexibility to shoot in bright conditions.

Incorporating over a decade of experience creating three-axis mechanical gimbals, Osmo Action is the first DJI handheld camera to include RockSteady, DJI’s Electronic Image Stabilisation (EIS) technology.

High-performance stabilisation algorithms work in conjunction with EIS to record every movement in smooth, stable, high-quality video, even when recording 4K/60fps.

Additionally, Osmo Action is capable of High Dynamic Range (HDR) video in 4K/30fps, delivering an additional three stops of dynamic range to the scene, natural transitions between light and dark areas, and rich details that are often lost in complex lighting conditions.

Osmo Action has a removable battery with a run time of 93 minutes recording at 4K/30fps with RockSteady enabled, and 135 minutes recording at 1080p/30fps without RockSteady.

Dual microphones let users take advantage of Osmo Action's Voice Control, and a speaker ensures outstanding playback quality.

DJI Osmo Action - Handle Extreme Conditions With Ease

A compact yet durable design makes Osmo Action the ideal camera for life’s adventures.

DJI Osmo Action is waterproof up to 11 metres without additional waterproof housing. A diving house accessory will protects the camera at depths down to 60 metres

Constructed to handle extreme conditions with ease, Osmo Action is dustproof, shockproof (tested to withstand drops from up to 5 feet/1.5 metres), waterproof (capable of operating at a depth of 36 feet/11 metres without additional waterproof housing) and has the ability to operate in sub-freezing temperatures (tested to withstand temperatures of -10° Celsius).

Osmo Action utilises colour screens on both the front and back, a unique design feature that allows for more convenient scene composition while on the move.

The 2.25-inch rear touchscreen employs a water and fingerprint repelling coating, and the 1.4-inch front screen makes vlogging and selfies easier than ever before. With a brightness of 750-nits, Osmo Action can be used in harsh lighting conditions including direct sunlight.

Osmo Action’s interactive user interface, Action OS, combines a streamlined and functional physical design with flexible operation. Power on, initiate recording, and rotate through the video and photo capture modes in the blink of an eye with three dedicated buttons.

A range of accessories are available for the DJI Osmo Action. These are:

DJI Osmo Action v GoPro HERO7 Black v GoPro HERO7 Silver

The DJI Osmo Action appears to be a direct rival to GoPro's flagship action camera, the HERO7 Black, and to a lesser extent, the HERO7 Silver.

DJI Osmo Action does beat the GoPro HERO7 Black in certain aspects, including a longer battery life and the ability to take it slightly deeper

Based on the specifications between the three products, DJI's camera does out-do its competitors in certain aspects. For instance, it can go slightly deeper without waterproof casing than its rivals, has a longer battery life and can capture HDR video.

Below is a specification sheet, comparing the three products.
