DJI Rumors: More Leaked Images of DJI Osmo Action camera


Since we first reported that DJI is launching the new Osmo Action sport camera, the internet has been busy hunting for every scrap of information possible.

Last night we found a few more images of the alleged new GoPro challenger from the Chinese drone maker.

FIrst image (below) shows the packaging for the new Osmo Action which also confirms it’s name.  It would have been really handy if the leaker had taken a photo of the back of the box so we could see the specs, but that will likely come in in the next day or two.

What is most interesting is how the DJI Osmo Action and it’s top rival, the GoPro HERO7 differ.  Osmo Action, below, has both a front facing LCD screen for perfectly composing shots in a “selfie” mode and for playblack in addition to a large rear facing display.  The GoPro HERO7 uses only a rear-facing screen, making selfie compositions a little bit more difficult.

Osmo Action looks like it has an adjustable/removable bezel around the lens housing.  This could allow for additional accessories like filters, fish-eye adapters, and more.

Like the GoPro HERO7, Osmo Action‘s body is a self-contained and waterproof unit.  Gone are the days of separate ‘waterprof cases’ like the Osmo Pocket and older versions of GoPro.

We’re still waiting for more specs, which will no doubt leak out of the coming days.

Have an idea what DJI has packed into the Osmo Action sport camera?  Let us know in the comments below.  And let us know if you plan to buy one!
