DJI's new Osmo Action camera tackles GoPro

The second front screen is particularly interesting, which greatly facilitates the framing of your shots. There are also lens covers that allow you to replace cracked glass or easily add a neutral density filter or polarizer to better reflect different lighting situations. ND filters darken a scene, making it easier to perform long exposures or more nuanced control of shutter speed, while polarizers help eliminate reflections. DJI also builds an ecosystem of accessories, including a charge concentrator that can charge three batteries at a time and a floating handle to make sure the camera does not sink to the bottom of the ocean.

Here are some of the other key specifications:

• 1 / 2.3 inch sensor
• 12MP, opening F2.8
• 145 degree field of view
• Screw-on lids
• 4K / 60fps
• HDR
• 1080p / 240fps (8x slow-mo)
• 100 Mbps throughput
• RAW photo mode
• 2.24-inch rear panel
• Brightness of 750 nits on both screens
• 63 minutes of autonomy at 4K / 60, up to 135 minutes at 1080p / 30 with stabilization off
• Electronic Stabilization of "Rocksteady" Image
• Waterproof up to 11m or 60m with a special holster
• 124g

This is an attractive set that could make the first serious competitor to market dominance by GoPro. The Osmo Action is available for purchase online now.
