The 4K DJI Osmo Action Camera is here and it’s gunning for GoPro. The company announced the new Osmo Action Camera this morning and it looks to be a winner. These action cameras are great for those who are into sports and outdoor action footage.
The Osmo looks to be as rugged as they come meaning it should stand up to the most extreme situations you put it in. The 1/2.3 inch sensor records 4K video up to 60fps at 100Mbps and you can get 12MP still shots with it. They even coated the lens with anti-fingerprint coating to give you the clearest shot possible. The coating also helps with glare giving you better options for shooting in bright conditions.

Osmo Action is our cutting-edge answer to what the creative community demands: Exceptional image quality and stabilization in a unique and durable new form factor, with dual color screens and seamless software integration.
