DJI takes on Insta360 with a wearable, modular action camera

Digital Photography Review news -

DJI has announced the Osmo Nano, a tiny, wearable action camera. The latest device from DJI competes with Insta360's Go lineup, comprising a standalone camera that connects magnetically to a dock for extended functionality. DJI promises pro-level quality from the tiny camera, with 4K video, advanced stabilization, 10-bit color and more.

The DJI Osmo Nano boasts a Type 1/1.3 (9.6mm x 7.2mm) sensor with a 2.4μm pixel size. It promises 13.5 stops of dynamic range for better performance in more lighting conditions. Despite the relatively large sensor, the camera portion of the device is tiny, weighing 52g (1.8oz) and measuring 57 x 29 x 28mm (2.3 x 1.1 x 1.1"). The compact design allows users to wear or mount the Osmo Nano in a variety of ways, including on helmets, hats, lanyards and more.

You can wear or mount the DJI Osmo Nano in many different ways.

The camera can record up to 4K60 video and 4K120 for slow-motion. However, the HorizonBalancing and RockSteady 3.0 stabilization modes are only compatible with up to 4K60. It supports 10-bit and D-Log M, which DJI says is a first for wearable cameras of this size. Users will have access to multiple recording modes and tools, such as SuperNight Mode, pre-recording, hyperlapse, timelapse, gesture control and more. It's also capable of 35MP still photos.

The Osmo Nano features two built-in microphones for stereo recording. Like DJI's other recent releases, it can also connect to two DJI microphone transmitters without a receiver, allowing users to get improved audio quality. The camera is also compatible with the company's ND filter set.

Unlike the Insta360 Go series, the Osmo Nano's camera doesn't slot into the middle of the dock. Instead, the camera magnetically attaches to the top of what DJI calls the Multifunctional Vision Dock. It can be mounted in either direction, making it easier to swap between selfies and POV recording. The dock portion measures 59.1 x 42.2 x 22.3mm (2.3 x 1.7 x 0.9"), so it's still a compact device even when both components are together.

The Multifunctional Vision Dock functions as a display, remote trigger, charging station and file-transfer station. It features a 1.96-inch OLED touchscreen to help frame your shots or review your recordings. The dock can charge the main camera up to 80% in 20 minutes and, when fully charged, promises up to 200 minutes of 1080p/24fps recording. DJI also created an "Endurance" mode that promises 4K30 recording for up to 60 minutes. The standalone camera promises up to 90 minutes of battery life at 1080p.

The Osmo Nano main camera is waterproof to 10m (32.8'). The dock, however, only offers an IPX4 rating for splash resistance. It's meant to handle sweat and rain, but isn't designed to go underwater with the main camera. The camera comes in 64GB or 128GB versions, though the dock is compatible with microSD cards for expanded storage.

As with other recent DJI announcements, the Osmo Nano will not be officially available in the US. However, as with those previous launches, the camera may be available through unofficial retailers in the US, but that is not guaranteed. For customers outside the US, the Osmo Nano is available today at a starting price of CA$309, £239, or €279 for the standard 64GB combo.

DJI Launches Osmo Nano, A Hands-Free Wearable Camera with Unmatched Image Quality

Next-Gen 1/1.3″ Sensor Captures Professional-Level Visuals Through Hands-Free Shooting

September 23, 2025 - DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, today launches the Osmo Nano. This lightweight, wearable action camera can be mounted anywhere - from hats and helmets to pet collars - with a dual-sided magnetic design. It is also equipped with a next-gen 1/1.3-inch sensor and a high-performance image processor, offering up to 13.5 stops of dynamic range. Together, the Osmo Nano empowers creators to capture creative, hands-free visuals that are on par with professional cameras.

Effortlessly Wearable – Anywhere You Go

With its ultra-compact design, easy magnetic mounting, and versatile accessory options, Osmo Nano can be mounted anywhere. The smallest of DJI’s action cameras, the Osmo Nano camera weighs just 52g and measures approximately 57mm×29mm×28mm. Offering attachments for headbands, helmets, lanyards, hats, and more, creators can bring the Osmo Nano with them to capture content wherever they go. For water sports and outdoor adventures, the Osmo Nano camera is waterproof up to 10 meters without any additional housing, and, 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 perspectives are endless, providing another dimension of creativity and versatility to any video captured.

Image Quality Beyond Imagination

The 1/1.3-inch sensor delivers the best image quality possible for compact action cameras, and the high-performance image processor offers a superior dynamic range of 13.5 stops1 to ensure impressive low-light performance. Osmo Nano captures every scene in crisp detail, with up to 4K/60fps video2 and 4K/120fps slow motion. Osmo Nano’s 143° ultra-wide field of view fits more into every frame, so no part of the moment is ever cropped out. Osmo Nano is the only wearable camera of this size to offer 10-bit and D-Log M color performance. The 10-bit video allows the capture of up to one billion colors and 72% more color space than 8-bit standard video, providing stunning visuals not previously possible with compact action cameras. Meanwhile, the D-Log M mode preserves color and brightness information, offering greater flexibility for post-production and creative editing. In low light conditions, Osmo Nano's SuperNight mode3 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.

Versatile Dock Supports Remote Control, Battery Charging, and File Transfer

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 minutes1. 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/s4.

Various Audio Options for Premium Sound

Osmo Nano features dual built-in microphones for stereo recording, delivering clear, vivid audio for an immersive first-person audiovisual experience. OsmoAudio™ Direct Microphone Connection allows users to capture studio-quality sound by connecting the Osmo Nano directly to two DJI microphone transmitters without a receiver5.

Creative Freedom with Flexible Shooting Modes

  • Creators have a number of Osmo Nano shooting modes and features that offer versatility, interesting composition, and the opportunity to stay in the moment:
  • Horizontal & Vertical Shooting - easily switch between horizontal and vertical shooting
  • Auto Recording - set shooting intervals and clip durations for automatic recording
  • Gesture Control - start shooting with a nod gesture or tapping the device in auto recording mode
  • Pre-Rec - automatically saves footage from just before the record button is pressed

GoPro's back in the 360 camera game, and says its 8K is better than everyone else's

Digital Photography Review news -

Image: GoPro

GoPro says it's entering a "new era of fun and creativity" and has launched the long-awaited successor to its 360-degree camera. The Max2 promises significant changes from the original Max, including 8K 360-degree video, pro-grade recording options and better audio.

The Max2 follows a six-year wait from the release date of the original Max. The new 360-camera offers what GoPro emphasizes is "true" 8K 360-degree video. The company says it doesn't count any overlapping, black or unusable pixels and only considers effective pixels. GoPro also says it isn't upscaling footage or using AI to help reach 8K.

That 8K resolution is for the spherical 360-video, though, which isn't viewable all at once. The real benefit of higher resolution is that it allows for higher quality reframing during the editing process. It provides more control over what you show in your video after the fact, instead of needing to record multiple clips with different angles. GoPro says that the Max2's 8K footage will blend more seamlessly with the resolution of traditional cameras, making it easier to create a cohesive video from multiple cameras.

The new 360 action camera features two Type 1/2.3 (6.17mm x 4.55mm) sensors. GoPro's representative was upfront about the sensors being smaller than the newly released DJI 360 camera, adding that the Max2 is not as good in low light. GoPro said it made this decision to keep the compact design, explaining that making a replaceable lens camera with a large sensor becomes challenging if you also want to keep it small. GoPro decided that the camera size was most important and sacrificed performance after dark in light of user data.

As with all GoPro cameras, the Max 2 is made to be durable.
Image: GoPro

As with most GoPro cameras, the Max2 provides multiple framerate options. In 360-mode, it can output 8K30, 5.6K60 or 4K100 videos. GoPro is also calling the Max2 the "Bitrate King." The stock firmware offers 60Mbps as the standard, but it can be increased up to 120Mbps. Users can also use GoPro Labs, the company's beta firmware program, to increase the bitrate up to 300Mbps and gain greater control over every aspect of the camera.

On the color side, the Max2 offers 10-bit color in 8K, along with GP-Log and GoPro LUTs. The company has also announced that a new Davinci Resolve plug-in for GoPro Reframe will be coming soon. It will join the existing Adobe Premiere and After Effects plug-ins.

While the Max2 offers plenty of pro-level features, it also includes tools for more casual users. The camera has plenty of recording presets, such as POV and Selfie modes. In those settings, the camera records 360-degree video, but when you bring it into the Quik editing app, it will default to the video pointed in a specific direction. The data is there for you to change it if you'd like, but it's also ready to go based on the setting you chose for recording.

Image: GoPro

The Max2 features six microphones for sound recording. In Single Lens Mode, GoPro says that the camera automatically adjusts for accurate directional audio. That means the camera should automatically adjust which mic(s) are used based on your recording direction. It also offers advanced wind noise reduction, and you can connect wireless Bluetooth microphones, including ones built into headsets such as AirPods.

From a photo standpoint, the Max2 can create 29MP 360-degree photos. As with the 360-video footage, you can then crop, zoom and reframe in the Quik app to choose which angle you want. GoPro carried over its long list of photo and video modes found on its traditional action camera lineup, including Interval Photo, Burst Photo and Night Photo modes. For video modes, users will have access to the company's Night Effects such as Star Trails and Light Painting, along with TimeWarp, multiple time-lapse modes, scheduled recording and more.

GoPro also announced multiple new accessories for the camera.

The GoPro Max2 promises all-day battery life and features a larger touchscreen than the original Max. Like the other cameras in the GoPro lineup, there are three mounting methods: magnetic mounting, fold-down mounting fingers and 1/4-20 thread for mounting invisible-pole recording. Along with the camera, GoPro also released lots of new accessories, including a 2.7m (9') carbon fiber pole, an 80cm (32") floating extension pole and a new ski pole mount. Finally, GoPro designed the Max2 with easy-to-replace lenses, with no tools or calibration required.

The GoPro Max 2 is available for pre-order now for $500, with full availability on September 30.

GoPro's latest budget action camera has a bright idea

Digital Photography Review news -

Image: GoPro

Along with the release of the Max2, its long-awaited 360-degree camera follow-up, GoPro has also announced an ultra-compact action camera with a built-in light. The action camera company has dubbed the new Lit Hero a "lifestyle" camera that allows for "Whatever, Whenever" video and photo capture.

The Lit Hero camera builds on the compact Hero camera released last year, adding a light for greater convenience. GoPro says the light enables a "a very fun 'retro vibes' look." The integrated quad LED offers three levels of brightness and the camera comes with a diffuser for when users want a softer look.

A sample image from the GoPro Lit Hero.

The camera features a Type 1/2.8 (5.44mm x 3.09mm) sensor and offers 4K video up to 60p, or 4K30 video for 4:3 footage that can be cropped to a vertical social-ready 9:16 aspect ratio. The Lit Hero can take 12MP 4:3 still photos, giving users more room to crop for social media.

The light adds some weight compared to the Hero, but the Lit Hero still comes in at just 93g (3.3oz). It's still durable, too, with a rugged design and waterproofing down to 5m (16'). It supports three mounting methods via magnetic mounting, mounting fingers and 1/4-20 mounting threads. It uses an Enduro Battery that GoPro says will support continuous recording for over 100 minutes at the highest video setting.

The Lit Hero is available for pre-order today for $270, which is $70 more than the light-free Hero. It will be widely available on October 21.

Along with two new cameras, GoPro has announced a multi-camera gimbal made for creators. The Fluid Pro AI is the company's second take on a gimbal, though this iteration offers subject tracking and stabilization for more than just GoPro cameras.

The Fluid Pro AI gimbal features interchangeable mounts that make it compatible with GoPro cameras, smartphones and point-and-shoot cameras. It can only support cameras up to 400g (14.2oz), so don't expect to stick your full-frame mirrorless camera on the rig.

GoPro's latest device offers three-axis stabilization with nearly 360 degrees of rotation. It features AI subject tracking for both forward and rear-facing subjects. GoPro says it's able to lock onto a person's face or body and then automatically and precisely track them in the frame.

The gimbal also offers an integrated fill light to help with content creation in dark conditions. GoPro promises 18 hours of runtime and says the Fluid Pro AI doubles as an external power bank as well.

The Fluid Pro AI will be available for $230 on October 21.

A Titanium Frying Pan with a 100-Year Warranty? This Company Actually Built It

Gizmag news -

When you spend enough time in the EDC (Everyday Carry) community, you develop a certain reverence for titanium. It’s the material of choice for high-end pocket knives, ultra-light pry bars, and pens that cost more than your first car. We love it for its incredible strength-to-weight ratio, its resistance to corrosion, and its understated, industrial aesthetic.

Tariff Watch: Here's which Sony cameras and lenses just got more expensive in the US

Digital Photography Review news -

The a9 III is now extremely expensive in the US.

Sony has once again increased the prices of many of its imaging products in the US. This follows an increase in US prices across most of its lineup in May and July due to tariffs.

The recent price increase for US customers isn't across the board, but it does impact many of the company's cameras, as Sony rumors initially spotted. The a7CR, which was a great deal at launch, is now $3400 at Sony's website. That's up $400 from its launch price and $200 from the price increase earlier this year. The a9 III also got substantially more expensive, with a $400 increase from July, now coming in at $6800.

It's not just high-end models that are more expensive, either. The Sony ZV-E10 II is now $1200, or $200 pricier than the launch price. The Sony ZV-1 II didn't see as substantial an increase, but it now costs $1050.

Lenses weren't left out of the latest round of pricing adjustments, either.

Lenses weren't left out of the latest round of pricing adjustments, either. The Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II is now $350 more expensive than in July, coming in at $2650. The Sony FE 50mm F1.2 GM was also impacted with a new price of $2300, up $300 from July. Not all lenses saw increases this time around, though. The Sony FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM II is still priced the same as it was in July (though it was part of the first increase), as is the 70-200 mm F2.8 GM OSS and many of the company's more budget-focused lenses.

The latest adjustment aligns with the 19% tariff rate that took effect on August 7th on imports from Thailand, where Sony makes many of its US-bound cameras.

When Sony adjusted the rates in July, the tariffs were set at a temporary 10% rate, so it seems to be adjusting now that the higher rates have gone into effect. Sony isn't the only company raising US prices in light of the updated rate. Both Nikon and Fujifilm have already done so a second time, and Canon said that it's considering another price increase later this year.

Phones photographers love: DPReview readers share their favorites for our Question of the week

Digital Photography Review news -

Our last 'Question of the week' asked the members of our forum community which phone they prefer from a photography perspective. We wanted to know which phones you're drawn to, not necessarily because of operating systems, but because of the cameras or photography-related features. Here's what you all had to say.

Most referenced smartphones

Naturally, many of you mentioned a small handful of phones. Clearly, there are crowd favorites among photographer-friendly phones.

  • Apple iPhone Pro series: iPhones were the most common among those who commented, with a preference for the Pro models. Many of you said that the connectivity with the broader Apple ecosystem is a primary reason, though there's also a preference for the iPhone image quality.

  • Google Pixel series: Pixel phones were also very common. You value Pixel phones for their quality out-of-camera results that don't require additional post-processing and integration with Google Photos.

Less common but still popular

  • Samsung Galaxy S Ultra series: Though slightly less common, Galaxy users praised the image quality of the series, especially from the JPEG files.

  • Sony Xperia 1 IV / V: The Xperia lineup is popular with many of you who want camera-like controls on a phone with more natural, less processed-looking photos.

  • Vivo X series: You like this series because of its Zeiss optics and strong image quality that looks more natural than other phones.

  • Xiaomi Ultra: Finally, there were some of you who preferred the Xiaomi phones, especially the 14 Ultra, in part because of the Leica co-branding and associated app.
General smartphone camera thoughts

Many of you pointed out that the brand of the phone is only part of the process. There are other critical features and considerations that make a smartphone ideal (or not) for photography.

  • Wide-ranging focal lengths: The range of camera focal lengths is an important consideration on smartphones, with preferences for getting closer with optics rather than relying on digital zoom. Manmachine242 said, "For me, 4..5x zoom is unacceptable if the main camera has to solve this important range with digital zoom."

  • Ultra-wide performance: A quality ultrawide camera is sometimes preferred over the main sensor, as many of you use your smartphone for panoramas and sweeping landscapes. For example, Jagganatha says they primarily use their iPhone for landscapes "because under the right conditions it produces impeccable detailed sweep panoramas with perfect exposure and colour balance."

  • Existing ecosystems: Integration with other ecosystems is also important to many of you. Whether it's being able to transition from phone to tablet to laptop or using familiar editing programs across devices, you want a phone that can seamlessly connect with other ecosystems. Pavel Vishniakov said "Maybe some Android phones have better cameras, but given that I'm fully in Apple ecosystem, I see no reason to switch phones for a 'maybe'."

  • Raw capture: A number of you seek phones that allow for robust Raw capture or editing and the ability to use third-party camera apps, particularly Adobe's Project Indigo or Halide. Robgendreau is among those, explaining that "I often use Lightroom to shoot raw, if I need a good photo. If I am more serious then Halide, and their raw. But lately it's been Adobe's Project Indigo, which does some major stacking magic. It's in beta, so it heats my phone up like crazy, but worth it."

  • Older phones: The desire to hold on to older phones was a common sentiment. Some of you simply don't see the need to upgrade until there's something seriously wrong with your current phone, or a major upgrade with the new model. For example, Jefenator says, "I'll continue buying iPhones with the best camera hardware, but I won't be accelerating my update plans for just any old incremental change." Others prefer older features or specs and stick to those models for as long as possible.
Entertaining replies

As always, some of you shared some entertaining answers and anecdotes. For example, A74Me shared about how most will have a smartphone on them, but cameras get left behind. "Your going to have a laugh at this one, the other night it was our Photography club AGM and the new committee was asked up for a group photo, No one had a camera with them and the image was shot on a phone. times are changing," they said.

Many of you expressed a dislike for smartphone photography in general. For example, Dem Bell said "It is a bit like asking 'what's your favourite Microsoft Office application?' I don't really like any of them but I have to use them."

If you haven't had a chance to answer yet, or just want to see what others had to say, the post is still open. Head on over to the forums to share your opinion on smartphones for photography!

You’re probably overestimating the health benefits of supplements

Gizmag news -

A new study reveals that much of the confidence people have in the health benefits of supplements might not come from science, but from clever wording on labels.
