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.

Great little action cam
Great little action cam, has come a long way since launch adding more features and improvements. the way dji continues software support is excellent and shows they care about the products they release
Does not support webcam function
unfortunately this product does not support as a web camera and you have to remove the sd card every now and then for you to transfer files. the cord is for charging alone. the mic is good though.

DJI Osmo Action hands-on review
DJI’s rumored Osmo Action is finally here, and while it doesn’t look radically different from other action cameras, it does bring a couple genuinely innovative features to what is otherwise a very imitative design. 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 replaceable lens cover lets you easily swap in polarizing or neutral density filters. HDR video adds 3 stops of dynamic range. But at its core, the Osmo Action is a straightforward action camera — and GoPro lookalike. To the untrained eye, the drab gray exterior could easily be mistaken for a Hero7. The user interface is built around a touchscreen and gesture commands that are a near facsimile of GoPro’s. Naturally, it also uses the standard GoPro mount, making it compatible with a wide range of accessories. DJI didn’t set out to reinvent the wheel. They borrowed what could be borrowed and inn...- Great electronic image stabilization

GoPro Better Watch Its Back
- Full-color front-facing selfie screen
- solid image stabilization
- Lacks HDMI out
- too easy to drown
The new Osmo Action is so GoPro-like, it's almost insulting. But calling DJI's new action cam a GoPro clone ignores the innovative tweaks that set the Osmo Action apart. DJI has been creating solid cameras for its drones and gimbals for years.
