More significant is the time the 1770mAh battery can offer and that is impressive. DJI say it can operate for as long as 160 minutes, and in our testing we got it to past 120 with the front screen on. That comfortably eclipses the Action 2 and the GoPro Hero10. In D-Cinelike 10-bit mode, the camera supports up to 4K/100fps, 2.7K/120fps, and 1080p/200fps video recording.

Currently, only English and Mandarin Chinese are supported for this function. Please use it in quiet environments and ensure clear and accurate pronunciation. Transit – Suitable for individuals who require an attendant for support during your time in the wheelchair. *The suitability to each model above is a very brief guide to give an understanding of how diverse the Action 3NG can be and not limited to the information provided. Your Retailer or Service Provider can offer more information on suitability according to individual needs. US customers may have extra concern about transmitting data to DJI, as the company is on the Treasury Department's Entity List due to allegations of the company's involvement in digital surveillance of the Uyghur ethnic minority.

It's built to handle cold weather, so you can keep recording for up to 150 minutes in temperatures as low as -20°C (-4°F) At the base of the Action 3 is a magnetic mounting connector for landscape mounting, and in the box, you also get a Horizontal-Vertical Protective Frame, which wraps around the camera to enable tall, TikTok-ready mounting in portrait orientation. Multi-way height adjustment: A choice of 20 rear wheel positions, elevating legrests, and amputee supports offer optimal height adjustment and comfort. This makes it much easier to detach and reattach the camera and swap between mounts, avoiding the fiddly process of having to screw your camera to securely mount it – and unscrew it when you need to move it. Add the protective frame that comes supplied with the standard bundle and you can even mount the camera on its end, to shoot vertical footage for social media. In addition to 4K120 with sound, the Osmo Action 3 has a dedicated slow-motion mode that records silently and slows down footage in camera, with a 4x slow-mo effect available at 4K and 2.7K, and either 4x or 8x at 1080p. And the Osmo Action 3 supports time lapses, both from a fixed camera position or with motion. Both are available at 4K.HorizonSteady helps to eliminate camera shake in all directions and even horizontally corrects tilt at any angle. That means footage can remain horizontally level, even through heavy bumps and 360-degree rotations, creating the effect of a perfect horizon without any post-production, even in off-kilter pursuits like surfing. Where the DJI Action 2 dropped the ball was heat management. Its small body and exposed metal design resulted in uncomfortably hot temperatures after even short bouts of recording high-resolution content. This time, though, DJI has improved things significantly. The dual screens offer the same options presented to suit the display size. (Image credit: Adam Juniper / Digital Camera World)

DJI's inclusion of a front touchscreen on the Action 3 can't be overlooked. Historically, front displays on action cameras were only used for framing up shots, but this time around, you can control all the camera's features with your digits when vlogging without having to turn it around.

The colour temperature sensor intelligently adjusts white balance and AE for highly accurate colours, even in difficult lighting environments Ideal for use at home or outdoors with great manoeuvrability from its multiple rear wheel positions and outstanding drive performance from its lightweight aluminum frame and new lightweight options. Making this manual chair easy to store and transport. Like the Action 2, the Osmo Action 3 is based on a 1/1.7-inch CMOS sensor and f/2.8 aperture lens with a wide-angle field of view. At 155º, this is actually wider than the FOV offered by GoPro Hero models, which is potentially a big deal if you’re looking to get as much in frame as possible. Over one billion colors can be recorded to reproduce your world in stunning detail, delivering smoother and more natural color gradations for greater flexibility in post-production. Case or not, this camera is tough. It’s able to survive drops of up to 1.5m unscathed and be dunked up to 16m in water without a dive case (an optional dive case is available, boosting water resistance to 60m). The lens is swappable too, so if it gets scratched or otherwise damaged you don’t need to replace the entire camera.

The DJI OSMO Action 3 is an excellent action camera that offers plenty of features and rugged build quality for less money than its main rival, which, admittedly, makes it more appealing in the eyes of many. Better still, most of the shortcomings are not significant and will only affect a small number of shooting modes/people. Stills photography is only 12 megapixels in a choice of Wide or Standard (Dwarp), but Raw files are an option as is manual control over exposure, either by choosing an EV target or explicitly setting shutter and ISO. The aperture is fixed at ƒ/2.8 which means any subject beyond 300mm (12 inches) should be in focus.

Before use, close the battery compartment cover and the USB-C port cover, and tighten the Lens Protective Cover. It is recommended to install the Waterproof Case for long-term underwater shooting or in environments with high water impact pressure. Osmo Action 3 and its Waterproof Case have an IP68 waterproof rating. Do not use the camera in hot springs or expose it to corrosive liquids. For vloggers and live streamers, a three-mic stereo recording system reduces wind noise and boosts the audio quality of the footage. Wi-Fi livestream supports 1080p/30fps, 720p/30fps and 480p/30fps, and pausing recording during the stream. UAC/UVC Webcam support offers high-quality video and audio for conference calls and livestreams. Additional features of DJI Osmo Action 3 camera The least impressive part of the Osmo Action 3 is the still photos. With only 12 megapixels available in this sensor, the results just don’t match up with what the GoPro Hero11 is capable of with its 27-megapixel sensor. Compact – Suitable for smaller individuals who may require lower seat to ground heights, shorter legrests etc.* Tested in a 25° C (77° F) laboratory environment while recording 1080p/30fps video in normal video mode with Enhanced Image Quality disabled, EIS disabled, and the screens off, and should be used for reference only.
