DJI OSMO Action: In-Depth Review of DJI's First Action Camera

The front LCD screen lets you check framing even if the main, rear screen is obscured, a common situation when mounting the camera to a bike frame, vehicle, or just a selfie stick.

The DJI Osmo Action is a fantastic little number that runs circles around (other) GoPro copycats. It also gives the Hero7 Black a serious run for its money and still manages to hold its own now that the Hero8-series has arrived, with its great image quality, plenty of shooting modes and that selfie...
