Note that this media loaner unit was sent to me to test, and after this review I’ll send it back just like always. The question is – does the DJI OSMO Action hold a candle to the GoPro Hero 7 Black? For that, I set to find out.
#Osmos action cam driver
It’s become my daily driver for action cams. At the same time – GoPro has a loyal following – and for good reason: They make solid action cameras, with the Hero 7 Black last fall being by far the best they’ve ever made. There’s no company that’s built just the right adjacent market to storm in and take GoPro’s lunch. To say the company owns the consumer drone market would be the understatement of the year. Of course, there have been many entrants to this market over the years – but nobody has been positioned the same way that DJI is.
But no matter which side of the fence you end up being on, the resultant is great for consumers: Legit competition in the action cam market. Whereas in other areas, such as its wireless connectivity and smartphone app, it’s not as competitive as GoPro. In some areas, such as the ability to shoot at 4K/60 without a fisheye look (or with, if you really want), it’s better. But the term ‘almost’ is the important part. The DJI OSMO Action is almost identical to the GoPro Hero 7 Black. For realz this time, not a small hand-held gimbal that’s sorta like an action camera but not, not another drone that can be action-like, but now – a bona fide action camera – complete with ‘Action’ as half its name. The day has finally arrived that everyone predicted would eventually come: DJI has announced an action camera.
