DJI Osmo Action
DJI Osmo Action is the leading Chinese drone company DJI's first action camera. It's a natural market expansion for DJI, since drones and action cameras are complementary products. Osmo Action competes head-to-head with the GoPro Hero8 Black. Will it take market share from GoPro? Time will tell, but it retails for about $170 less and boasts advanced hardware. Hence, GoPro has a new fierce competitor in the market.
Osmo Action records video in 4K format at 60 fps (frames per second) and 100 Mbps. The framerate increases to 120 fps for 1080 format. These specs ensure that the recordings are always crisp.

While the Osmo Action sees DJI entering a new market, its experience with cameras is obvious. There's clearly a lot of expertise carried down from the excellent shooters in the Mavic and Phantom series.
Great little action cam.
Great little action cam not perfect but I'm sure DJI will update firmware to make it perfect.

DJI Osmo Action review
Considering this is DJI’s first action cam, it does a fantastic job of out GoProing the GoPro Hero7 Black in a couple of key areas. The RockSteady stabilisation is sensational, and the fact its metering optimises everything to make faces look great means it’s an ideal choice for vloggers. Its front screen is also welcome and is super handy for selfie videos. The Osmo Action does have more idiosyncrasies than the Hero7 Black, the delay between what’s being recorded and the live preview could be problematic in certain use-cases, and the terrible app connectivity is, well, terrible. That said, if you’re looking for a smart shooter that undercuts the competition, and captures footage you don’t have to faff with to get the best from, DJI’s Osmo Action is a fantastic bit of kit.- Rocksteady stabilisation is excellent
- Great for vlogging
- Respectable battery life
- Delayed on-screen preview
- Terrible app reliability
- Limited accessory rang
DJI Osmo Action -- a great alternative
Saw a lot of comparison to the GoPro 7 black but I decided on the Osmo Action in accordance to DJI's expertise on drones and the front facing screen. I really like the build quality and the quality of images that it produce.- Build quality and really good images and features
- great for a blogger for sure
- Not a GoPro killer
