DJI Osmo Action 3 design

Action 3 Action 3 appears remarkably similar to the original DJI Action camera, which was a fantastic camera, however, it may have been a bit too much like GoPro. This Action 3 may still carry the look and feel of an action camera but it’s distinct in several key ways. The most notable of these is its magnetic quick release mechanism, that it is a relic of Action 2 Action 2, and which is significantly improved to make it more durable and robust.

The magnetic clip system allows you to attach and unattach the camera from different mounts, or simply attach the camera onto the surface of a metal. Although such a method may appear to be unreliable in terms of durability, I can testify for the trustworthiness for the magnet because it was able to stay securely locked and secured to an extension rod that was hung from the window of a car at 40 mph. I’ve been flying with the Action 2 on top of drones at much higher speeds than the speed of. One important thing to be aware of is that the magnetic clip often fails to snap in at first therefore it’s best to test the connection twice.

Action 3 Action 3 is unique in the fact that the front screen has been made touch-sensitive, which allows you to change settings even when the camera is in front of you, like when you shoot vlog-style videos. Since I shoot a lot of YouTube videos with a vlog style I am extremely grateful for this feature. I’m also a big fan of that battery access door of the Action 2, which is very easy to operate and remains water-proof and secure.

It’s not necessarily a bad thing but Action 2 Action 2 captures great-looking video. The details are clear and crisp as are the Rocksteady and Horizonsteady image stabilization are extremely efficient. The default color mode may be slightly oversaturated, however I like the overall look of it. The D-cinelike color profiles are available for those who prefer more editing flexibility and create your own style through post-processing.

Action 3 Action 3 can shoot in 4K at speeds of up to 120fps. It can also shoot with 240 fps up to 1080p. A 1080p video at 240 frames per second is as ugly and mushy as you’d expect however, 4k 120fps is pretty nice. It’s only 4k resolution that’s fine when you need to share straight-out camera footage with no editing. However, it’s not up against the goPro Hero11 black’s 5.3k max resolution, and bigger sensor, which gives you more flexibility when it comes to post-processing.

Both rear and front screens that are part of Action 3 are bright with great colors. A larger touchscreen on the rear is more user-friendly than the smaller display on the Action 2, and the integrated front screen means that it doesn’t require an additional module to get an front-facing display.

It adds security to the most vulnerable portion that is Action 3. Action 3, though I prefer it to be secured since it is prone to being pushed away from the edge of the lens by accident.

While I didn’t carry the camera around as a hacky sack and I was sadly lacking the time to attend deep sea diving but I did take my Action 3 out hiking and put it in the lake. The incident was not hinder it. Action 3. If you’re looking for additional protection against drops, DJI has housings, which are included in the Adventure combination.

There’s a major issue however, when making use of the camera in real life it is that the magnets of the special mounting mechanism have the unfortunate tendency to attract the magnetic particles in sand. This isn’t a problem for however it may affect the locking mechanism and requires regular cleaning when you use it at the beach.

When I played with this, it was a straightforward plug-and-play experience. The only set-up hassle being unclipping the USB-C port out of the Action 3 to make way for the DJI Mic.
