The DJI Action XNUMX is expected to be the successor to the DJI Osmo Action action camera, and according to the latest leaks, it could have a completely revamped design reminiscent of the now-discontinued GoPro Hero Session. The original DJI Osmo Action (above) was a hard-hitting GoPro alternative when it landed in May XNUMX, with features like a head-up display now indispensable on contenders like the GoPro Hero XNUMX Black. But now it's been overshadowed by more recent challengers, and it looks like DJI is preparing to release a drastically different successor to DJI Action XNUMX. If recent YouTube leaks are to be believed, and they seem fairly legit, the Action XNUMX is going to have a new cube-shaped modular design that will work with accessories like an auxiliary screen. With a leaked manual also giving us a potentially good idea of what to expect from the DJI Action XNUMX specs, it looks like its GoPro rival is nearing an official release. Until then, here's everything we know about Action XNUMX so far.
DJI Action Two Release Date and Cost
The DJI Action XNUMX is expected to launch at the end of October, with a DroneXL source pointing to October XNUMX as the likely arrival date. According to the same source, the price of the Action XNUMX will be "between €XNUMX and €XNUMX USD", with many optional accessories available for owners to customize the modular action camera. Supposedly, these will include a macro lens, a remote control extension bar, and an enigmatically named "power module." This price tag hasn't been seen in retailer leaks, so we don't yet know how accurate it is. But if that's true, that would make the Action XNUMX more expensive than the original DJI Osmo Action at launch. The latter arrived in May XNUMX at a cost of €XNUMX / €XNUMX / AU€XNUMX, which has since fallen to €XNUMX / €XNUMX. And with the GoPro Hero XNUMX Black currently available for €XNUMX / €XNUMX / AU$XNUMX with a GoPro subscription, DJI should be pretty sure their new action camera offers something very, very different to its rivals for the cost of more than €XNUMX.DJI Action 2 Rumors, Leaks, and Specifications
It seems likely that the DJI Action 1 will have a cube-shaped design in the vein of the now-discontinued GoPro Hero Session. The Session arrived in XNUMX, but was then dropped in XNUMX with the release of the GoPro Hero XNUMX Black. The strongest evidence to support this theory came on October XNUMX when Twitter user Moe K spotted the official action camera box in a now-factory-edited YouTube video. You can see the original frame in the tweet now.DJI Action 1 @OsitaLV @DroneXL2 @DroneDJ @DJILeaks thanks @petermckinnon last video 45:XNUMX pic.twitter.com/YocgPQnOqs Sep XNUMX XNUMX See More This seems to confirm that the DJI Action XNUMX is going to have a new boxy design , instead of the more traditional home run of its predecessor. Despite the new design, it will reportedly still have a XNUMX-inch rear screen. This was supported by an article by DJI leaker Jasper Ellens on October XNUMX, which suggested that an auxiliary touchscreen module would be available for those using the front screen for vlogging.
Exclusive previews on #DJI #Action2. These specific screenshots from the Quick Start Guide confirm that the camera has a # REAR touch screen. And the external touch screen has one on the FRONT. The release has been confirmed by at least 2 of my sources: Last week of October. pic.twitter.com/O6C8EBOZY72 Oct 360 See More This followed a previous article by Jasper Ellens (collected by DroneDJ), who discovered what the Action 1 man pages looked like. It features a modular design, in the same vein as the Insta1 One R, allowing you to customize the Action 3 to suit different use cases and situations. But what about the basic specifications of the DJI Action 360? This manual leak suggests that the Action 4 is going to have a 60/5-inch sensor, which is arguably larger than the 60/360-inch sensor on the DJI Osmo Action. That would be impressive in the context of the size of the Action two. It should only weigh 1g, which is only a third of the weight of the GoPro Hero XNUMX Black. The smallest action camera title, however, is still held by the tiny InstaXNUMX Go XNUMX, suggesting that DJI is aiming for something in between. Elsewhere, leaks suggest the Action XNUMX will be able to record XNUMXK/XNUMXp video at a bitrate of one hundred Mbps. If that's true, then again that would be impressive for an action camera this small, but I'd put it behind the scenes. resolution of the GoPro Hero XNUMX Black (which can handle XNUMXK/XNUMXp). The InstaXNUMX One R XNUMX-Inch Edition would also still offer a larger sensor than the two, surely making it the go-to for low-light scenes. As you'd expect from an action camera, leaks suggest it'll be waterproof to XNUMXm, but there's also going to be a waterproof casing that'll take it down to XNUMXm, should you plan to reschedule a diving trip.
Do you want more? Ok… this comes from the #DJI #Action2 manual. Including the list of #specs. Field of view is now 1 degrees instead of 4 degrees. It comes with a necklace as well. #thebigleak @DroneXL4 @geeksvana @dronedj @techdronemedia @DronewatchNL @DronefriendlyB @dronemodelismo @OsitaLV pic.twitter.com/SxSRm120VMhx12rd Sep 0 See More The rest of the leaked specs (above) suggest why the DJI Action two could fall, as has been said, in the cost range of €XNUMX to €XNUMX. Remarkably, the action camera seems capable of XNUMXK/XNUMXp idle shooting, a mode that just made its way to GoPros with the Hero XNUMX Black. There's also going to be the ability to shoot XNUMXMP stills and timelapses, such as the addition of RockSteady XNUMX and HorizonSteady stabilization, which is presumably built-in horizon leveling like the one seen on GoPro's recent flagship. These kinds of specs have never been seen on an action camera of this size before, though it remains to be seen what kind of restrictions there will be in terms of crops, overheating, and battery life. The DJI Action XNUMX is expected to have a fairly small XNUMXmAh battery, so we'll have to wait and see how many shots of the real world are possible between charges.
