DJI, a prominent name in the world of photography and videography, has announced the launch of its latest offering, the Osmo Action 4 sports action video camera. This new addition to the Osmo Action lineup comes with an array of impressive features and improvements, although it does bear a slightly higher price tag compared to its predecessor, the Osmo Action 3.
Enhanced Imaging with Larger Sensor
One of the standout features of the Osmo Action 4 is its larger 1/1.3-inch image sensor. This upgrade promises remarkable low-light performance, allowing the camera to capture more light through its ultra-wide lens. This leads to improved image quality, especially in challenging lighting conditions. Additionally, the camera can record content in 10-bit D-Log M, providing a higher dynamic range that grants greater flexibility for color correction during the editing process.
Impressive Video Capabilities
The Osmo Action 4 is no slouch when it comes to video capabilities. It can record 4K videos at up to 120fps, delivering smooth and high-quality footage. While there are already models in the market that support even higher resolutions and frame rates, such as the Hero 11 Black with its 5.3K @ 60fps footage, the Osmo Action 4 compensates with its other features.
Advanced Stabilization and Innovative Modes
The camera features the RockSteady 3.0 Plus digital stabilization system, which ensures steady and shake-free footage even during dynamic activities. Additionally, the HorizonSteady mode allows users to lock the tilt of their recording, maintaining a straight and level perspective. Another intriguing addition is the InvisiStick mode, which makes the 1.5-meter selfie stick appear invisible, contributing to an uninterrupted viewing experience.
Enhanced Waterproof Protection and Long Battery Life
For those capturing adventures in aquatic environments, the Osmo Action 4 offers improved waterproof protection, allowing it to be submerged in water up to 18 meters. The camera’s battery life is also impressive, lasting up to 2.5 hours, maintaining the same performance as its predecessor.
Remote Control and Pricing
One notable accessory for the Osmo Action 4 is the GPS Bluetooth Remote Controller, which can be strapped to the user’s wrist. This controller not only offers remote recording control but also provides GPS data, adding a layer of versatility to the camera’s functionality. It’s worth mentioning that the controller is sold separately from the camera.
As for the price, the DJI Osmo Action 4 is available for purchase in the US at $399, which is $70 higher than the cost of the Osmo Action 3. The optional GPS Bluetooth Remote Controller can be acquired for an additional $79.
With its impressive features and enhancements, the DJI Osmo Action 4 aims to cater to the needs of both amateur and professional videographers, offering a versatile and high-performance sports action camera option.
