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.

DJI Osmo Action review: A GoPro killer
Rather than a big leap forward from GoPro's flagship, it refines some areas (usability, manual shooting options) while drawing level with the Hero 7 Black in others (video quality, stabilisation).
Pros:
- Video quality and stabilisation match the GoPro Hero 7 Black
- Front screen is a real boon for vlogging
- Most user-friendly action camera around
- Versatile in manual shooting mode
- Waterproof without needing a case
- Cheaper than a Hero 7 Black
Cons:
- No live-streaming
- No stabilisation in HDR mode
- Official accessories not yet available
- Still needs an external microphone for good audio

DJI Osmo Action Review
It doesn't blow the GoPro Hero 7 Black out of the water, but the Osmo Action's all-round performance and lower price mean it's our new number one action camera. Its front screen is a real boon for vlogging, and in most situations its video quality and stabilisation matches GoPro's flagship (without surpassing it). Speedy operation and a polished interface also make it the most user-friendly action camera around. In some areas (livestreaming, hyperlapse quality, accessories), GoPro still has the edge, but if you need a new waterproof camera for summer adventures then the Osmo Action is the best around.
Pros:
- Video quality and stabilisation match the GoPro Hero 7 Black
- Front screen is a real boon for vlogging
- Most user-friendly action camera around
- Versatile in manual shooting mode
- Waterproof without needing a case
- Cheaper than a Hero 7 Black
Cons:
- No live-streaming
- No stabilisation in HDR mode
- Official accessories not yet available
- Still needs an external microphone for good audio

We're so impressed with the Osmo Active that we're wondering why DJI hasn't been making action cameras for years.
