DJI rumored to re-enter compact action camera market with Osmo Nano leak suggestive of further development. This potential launch excites me.
Ready for a new miniature action camera war?
- DJI’s stealthy, modular Osmo Nano could take on the Insta360 Go 3S
- Slated for an August 2025 release, rumors suggest the DJI Osmo Nano will rival the Insta360 Go 3S in the pocket-sized POV camera market
It's been a while since we've had a good ol' fashioned gadget showdown, but it looks like DJI and Insta360 are about to bring the heat to the action cam market. Leaked images of the upcoming DJI Osmo Nano suggest that the miniature marvel could go toe-to-toe with the Insta360 Go 3S, making for an exciting clash in the world of wearable tech.
If the photos are legit - and they look like the real deal - the Osmo Nano is shooting to dethrone the Insta360 Go 3S. This diminutive, magnet-mounted camera has been setting the standard for hands-free filming, with its petite design and versatile mounting options making it perfect for capturing creative POV footage with ease. With its flexible mounting and user-friendly design, the Insta360 Go 3S tops our list of the best action cameras.
According to the leaked Osmo Nano images, it has a similarly sized camera unit that attaches magnetically to clothing. There's also a rumored modular screen block for real-time framing and footages reviews, should you need it. DJI hasn't confirmed anything yet, but the leaks come from a reputable source and the product certainly looks the part.
DJI isn't exactly new to the modular action camera game. The DJI Action 2, launched back in 2021, boasted an innovative modular design, breaking away from the traditional GoPro form factor. While the Action 2 had its fans, it wasn't quite the game-changer DJI was aiming for. It tended to run hot, struggled in low light, and waterproofing didn't extend to the modules.
But the leaked Osmo Nano images have us all excited. It feels like DJI's second shot at something that could genuinely shake up the wearable camera space. It'll also be a new direction for DJI, expanding beyond the action cam market and aiming to cater to casual creators looking for a pocket-sized, easy-to-use camera.
Let's be real, though - we don't know much about the Osmo Nano yet. There's no word on specs, video resolution, stabilization, or battery life. And, dare we say it, we don't even know if the 'Osmo Nano' is the official name. But the form factor alone suggests a very different product from anything in DJI's current lineup. If accurate, this little guy could be theAction Cam to beat.
We'll keep you posted as we learn more. In the meantime, grab some popcorn and get ready to cheer on your favorite tech titan. Could it be DJI's year to take the crown? Or will Insta360 continue to reign supreme? Stay tuned to find out!
