DJI has introduced its latest, the DJI Osmo Nano, a lightweight wearable action camera that can be mounted anywhere, from hats and helmets to pet collars, with a dual-sided magnetic design.
The Osmo Nano is equipped with a 1/1.3-inch sensor and a high-performance image processor, offering up to 13.5 stops of dynamic range. It mounts magnetically using a variety of accessories and is the smallest DJI action camera to date weighing just 52 grams and measuring 57 x 29 x 28mm in size.
There are attachments for headbands, helmets, lanyards, hats, and more, so creators can capture content wherever they go. For water sports and outdoor adventures, the Osmo Nano camera is waterproof up to 10 metres without any additional housing. When paired with the Multifunctional Vision Dock, it offers IPX4-rated splash resistance, protecting against sweat, rain, and minor splashes. Shots can also be controlled remotely with the built-in OLED HD touchscreen on the Multifunctional Vision Dock.
The 1/1.3-inch sensor, high-performance image processor, and dynamic range of 13.5 stops ensures impressive low-light performance. Osmo Nano captures up to 4K/60fps video and 4K/120fps slow motion. The 143° ultra-wide field of view fits more into every frame, so no part of the moment is cropped out. It also offers 10-bit and D-Log M colour performance. The 10-bit video allows the capture of up to one billion colours and 72% more colour space than 8-bit standard video. Meanwhile, the D-Log M mode preserves colour and brightness information, offering greater flexibility for post-production and creative editing. In low light conditions, Osmo Nano’s SuperNight mode enhances image quality with noise reduction algorithms. For image stabilization, HorizonBalancing maintains the horizon level, correcting tilts within a ±30° range, and RockSteady 3.0 reduces camera shake.
Osmo Nano’s Multifunctional Vision Dock acts as a display screen, a remote photo trigger, a charging station, and a high-speed file transfer station. The magnetic design allows the camera to be mounted to the dock in any direction, making it easy to switch between selfies and portraits. The dock can fast charge the main camera up to 80% battery level in only 20 minutes. When docked and fully charged, the camera can record up to 200 minutes of 1080p/24fps video, and the new Endurance mode allows for the recording of up to 60 minutes of 4K/30fps (16:9) video. The Multifunctional Vision Dock features a built-in microSD card slot. It can also connect mobile devices or computers using a PD fast-charging cable for transfers up to 600 MB/s.
Osmo Nano features dual built-in microphones for stereo recording. The OsmoAudio Direct Microphone Connection allows you to capture studio-quality sound by connecting the Osmo Nano directly to two compatible DJI microphone transmitters without a receiver.
Creators have a number of Osmo Nano shooting modes and features that offer versatility and interesting composition. Easily switch between horizontal and vertical shooting. You can set shooting intervals and clip durations for automatic recording. With gesture control, start shooting with a nod gesture or by tapping the device in auto recording mode. There’s also a pre-rec feature that automatically saves footage from just before the record button is pressed.
The DJI Osmo Nano starts at US$309.
