– Has removable front lens, which DJI then makes ND filters available for
– Has quick shot modes for saving your favorite settings – Can record HDR video in 4K/30 – but no stabilization – Has WiFi for connecting to your smartphone and downloading footage – Has slow-mo modes up to 240FPS/120FPS for 1080p and 720p – Contains a 2.25” rear color touchscreen display, AND, a 1.4” front-facing color screen – Has what DJI calls ‘RockSteady’ stabilization – roughly equal to GoPro’s HyperSmooth, and works in all 16:9 modes – Can shoot 4K/60FPS with Stabilization enabled So let’s assume you watched the above video (or at least hit the play button before getting distracted), then here’s the core bits you need to know After all, this is an action cam – not a textbook. Sounds good, right? Good, then hit the play button below. Watch one action-packed video, and then scroll a bit of text – and you’re all caught up. The Quick Summary:ĭon’t got time to read 8,000 words or so? No worries, I’ve got you covered. If you find this review useful – simply hit up the links at the bottom to help support the site. Further, I don’t take any money from any companies I review (or trips or whatever else). In fact, there’s already a preaddressed FedEx shipping label in the box back to DJI. Note that this media loaner unit was sent to me to test, and after this review I’ll send it back just like always. The question is – does the DJI OSMO Action hold a candle to the GoPro Hero 7 Black? For that, I set to find out. It’s become my daily driver for action cams. At the same time – GoPro has a loyal following – and for good reason: They make solid action cameras, with the Hero 7 Black last fall being by far the best they’ve ever made. There’s no company that’s built just the right adjacent market to storm in and take GoPro’s lunch. To say the company owns the consumer drone market would be the understatement of the year.
Of course, there have been many entrants to this market over the years – but nobody has been positioned the same way that DJI is. But no matter which side of the fence you end up being on, the resultant is great for consumers: Legit competition in the action cam market. Whereas in other areas, such as its wireless connectivity and smartphone app, it’s not as competitive as GoPro. In some areas, such as the ability to shoot at 4K/60 without a fisheye look (or with, if you really want), it’s better. But the term ‘almost’ is the important part. The DJI OSMO Action is almost identical to the GoPro Hero 7 Black. For realz this time, not a small hand-held gimbal that’s sorta like an action camera but not, not another drone that can be action-like, but now – a bona fide action camera – complete with ‘Action’ as half its name. The day has finally arrived that everyone predicted would eventually come: DJI has announced an action camera.
