Osmo Action 3, DJI’s new sports camera will be launched in Israel early next month. Compared to the previous model, which boasted a modular assembly of various components on the camera body, this time DJI chose a classic configuration and also maintains an almost identical photo sensor: a 12-megapixel resolution with a wide lens with a 155-degree field of view. The supported shooting modes also remain unchanged, with video in 4K resolution at a rate of up to 120 frames per second, or 1080P at a rate of up to 240 frames.
In the list of innovations, DJI presents the new electronic stabilization mechanism RockSteady 3.0, alongside HorizonSteady which should keep objects at a fixed angle even when the camera is rotated 360 degrees. It’s also the first Osmo Action camera to support vertical shooting, using a compatible mount in the case.
The small front screen, 1.4 inches, is also a touch screen this time which will make the photo settings somewhat easier. On the back, the camera gets a slightly larger screen, 2.25 inches. The battery allows continuous recording of up to 160 minutes of video, and according to the manufacturer, it will continue to operate without a problem even at extremely low (minus 20) or high (45 degrees) temperatures. Fast charging allows filling of 80 percent of the battery capacity in about 20 minutes.
The Osmo Action 3 is protected against water damage to a diving depth of up to 16 meters without a cover, and the company also offers a diving case for those planning to go deeper. A unique sensor will ensure a realistic color matching according to the depth of the water. The entire camera is protected against falls at a height of up to 1.5 meters. You can connect an external microphone to it, or use an array of three built-in microphones.
In Israel, the camera will be sold in a package that includes one battery, a charging cable and a mount for NIS 1,399. A package that includes three batteries, two mounts, a selfie stick and a case for carrying the batteries will cost NIS 1,899. The expected launch date is October 6.
