DJI Osmo Action 3 Standard Combo

60p, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi

Product details

The Osmo Action 3 features a quick-release design for fast horizontal and vertical mounting and colour touchscreens on the front and back for easy adjustments and playback. With extreme improvements in
cold resistance, battery life and diving depth, there's never been a better time to record your adventures.

Record video at up to 4K/120fps and capture your experiences in stunning detail.

A super-wide field of view makes every scene more interesting, memorable and immersive for your audience.

The Action 3's colour temperature sensor automatically adjusts white balance and exposure to achieve accurate colours, even in complex lighting environments like diving.

The quick-release design, which uses magnets and additional metal locks, makes the camera highly shock-resistant and the attachment of accessories fast and flexible.

With the protective frame, the camera can be mounted upright within seconds, allowing vertical shots.

In temperatures as low as -20°C, the Action 3 will record for up to 150 minutes. In normal temperatures, you can record up to 160 minutes on a single battery charge.

Up to 80% of the battery can be recharged in 18 minutes.

Further improved algorithms for stabilisation and elimination of camera shake.

Voice control and voice output for hands-free shooting.

AI algorithms can make the selfie stick invisible in the video.

With the DJI Osmo Action 3, the action cam has returned to its classic form. And with complete success: in our tested, the camera cube shone with its very good video quality, clever handling, lush features and a particularly long-lasting battery.

A successful balancing act: The DJI Osmo Action 3 is a powerful action cam and an affordable GoPro alternative. For less than 400 euros, the camera delivers really good videos and gets by for a long time with its long-lasting battery. The great app rounds off the strong offer.
