In the world of action cameras there is a clear winner, and it is none other than GoPro. However, DJI has been doing quite a bit of work in recent years, and with its DJI Osmo it is getting closer to offering the full action camera. Will he be able to unseat the queen of action this time? He has intentions, and it seems that capacity too.
In search of image and quality
Action cameras, in addition to offering waterproof and shock-resistant bodies, have become very comfortable and practical solutions for those who continuously record videos, since their angular focal length and stabilization systems obtain very sharp and well-balanced recordings. focused. They are off-road cameras, valid for any type of situation, and that, in the end, is very helpful when you need to be recording without stopping to think about how to shoot or how to focus on a certain scene.
with the new Osmo Action 4DJI wanted to offer a 1/1.3-inch sensor with f/2.8 aperture for very sharp and bright recordings thanks to the 2.4 nanometer pixel size. Its processor is also capable of record in 4K at 120 images per second (as long as we maintain the 16:9 format), and which is also capable of stabilize the image keeping the horizon as a referencewith the peculiarity of supporting full 360 degree turns.
One of the new additions is a front color temperature sensor that is in charge of automatically calibrating the recording to obtain true-to-life colors. This is especially useful when recording underwater, where the images inevitably take on a color that is too blue and cold.
non-stop action
This generation, like the previous one, has two screens to be able to review the image while we record, and they also have water resistance treatment so that we can interact with the menus without problems while we get wet. The lens protector also features a hydrophobic treatment that repels water (same as the GoPro 11).
DJI Osmo Action 4 vs. Osmo Action 3
It is difficult to find differences between one model and another, since it shares a large part of the main characteristics. The new model measures and weighs exactly the same, records at the same quality and with the same maximum rate of images per second (4K at 120 FPS), and has the same battery life. The only differences are in the size of the sensor and the stabilization technology, so overall it doesn’t seem like a change worth making.
However, the image quality obtained could be much better than the Osmo Action 3, and in that case some would be willing to change it. But for that we will have to see the evidence to draw conclusions.
This new Osmo Action 4 is priced at 429 eurosand can be purchased from today through the official DJI website.
