In fact, we have previewed the new DJI last month. Today, DJI officially released its brand new sports camera Action 3 action camera. After two generations of precipitation, OSMO Action 3 can be said to be a masterpiece and has been enhanced. The appearance returns to the original model design, but it provides better performance, and improves the pain points in heat generation, sound pickup, etc., and provides a more convenient control experience.
will open a box first. This time, Beta got the DJI OSMO Action 3 all-round set. In addition to the host, there are three batteries, charging butler, protective case, selfie stick, etc. I also recommend buying this set if you need it. Three batteries can meet the needs of daily shooting and use.
This new phone uses magnetic suction method to connect to the body, physical snap-on locking, double protection is safer.
Osmo Action 3 uses a 1/1.7-inch sensor, provides a FOV155° ultra-wide viewing angle, supports 120 frames of 4K video and 12-megapixel photo shooting, and supports D-Cinelike color mode, time-lapse photography and digital zoom, etc., which will no longer be monotonous when shooting materials.
In addition, this third generation new phone has also upgraded multi-mode stabilization, using the latest anti-shake algorithm, super-strong stabilization 3.0 (RockSteady 3.0), horizonSteady (HorizonSteady), etc., it is not an exaggeration to call it the most stable sports camera. In terms of battery life, the new phone is equipped with the largest 1770mAh capacity battery among the main sports cameras. If a single battery is recorded for 160 minutes with 1080p video, it will be steadily maintained at about 90 minutes if it is 60 frames. The most important thing is that it will not overheat, which is very important. And you can charge 80% of your battery in just 10 minutes. With a set of three charging housekeepers, you can take a safe shot.
and don't worry about overheating. Overall, it has improved a lot and is easier to use.
In order to cope with the harsh environment of extreme sports , DJI has also made improvements to the new machine. Action 3 can achieve the use needs of -20 ℃ to 45 ℃. For underwater shooting, the new machine can achieve 16 meters of bare metal waterproofing. I believe that such a depth can be achieved without a waterproof shell for most underwater shooting. Mom no longer has to worry about the fog on the underwater shooting waterproof cover affecting shooting, and there is no way.
In order to obtain better sound pickup effect, DJI also added 2 microphones to both sides of the Action nameplate. The windproof microphone with a non-nude pickup hole at the bottom is not enough. If you think it is not enough, use the Type-C interface on the side of the body and DJI's own wireless microphone to achieve wireless sound pickup, and the effect is better.
Speaking of Action 3, we have to mention the first generation and the second generation, briefly compare and talk about the feeling of Beta actually using this machine.
vs Action Compared with
This new phone returns to the appearance design of the first generation OSMO Action, which is more in line with the appearance of the sports camera we are used to, and has made reasonable structural adjustments. The overall key layout is more in line with the ergonomic design. From the appearance alone, the overall volume of Action 3 has increased compared with the first generation, and the benefits are naturally very obvious, bringing more abundant heat dissipation space, which also provides a stable output for the high-quality shooting of the new phone, providing a larger touch screen, especially the back touch screen, bringing a brand new control and viewing experience.
In fact, if the volume increases without putting the two machines together, it will not be felt at all. Especially after being matched with the protective expansion protective case, the overall feel is significantly improved. The protective cover of the new machine does not adopt the first-generation fully enclosed structure, but adopts a semi-hollow design on the side and bottom. While ensuring appropriate strength, it effectively reduces weight, and leaks out the key bottom magnetic base interface and the Type-C charging port on the right (in addition to charging, this interface can also be connected to DJI for unlimited radio).
Because the body itself has excellent waterproof (16 meters underwater can work normally) performance, there is no need to worry about safety at all.This time, since the new machine supports horizontal and vertical lossless switching, the new machine also provides a magnetic base interface on the other side of the protective cover, which is convenient for horizontal and vertical shooting and fixing needs, which is very attentive.
The new phone's opening key and QS button are combined into one, which is placed in the position of the first generation QS button. The shooting/recording key is still on the top of the body. However, this time the button is larger and uses a red ring as the logo, making it clearer and clearer. The battery compartment of the new phone is on the side of the body, and the push-up design is designed by the push-up of the button, and the memory card slot is also hidden in it. The protective cover is just blocked, which can serve as a good protection. The biggest difference between
and the first generation is the screen. This time the large back screen is too comfortable. For example, Beta, which has thicker fingers and controls the fine menus of small screens, it is really painful. This time the large screen is much easier to operate the subdivided menu. In terms of menu design, the new phone has also changed. The new menu control language is no different from the mobile phone. The menu is swiped up, down, and left to expel the menu, and the right swipe is the material playback. The actual improvement of the hand control feel of the
menu is very significant. The options switch quickly, the sliding is very appropriate, and there is basically no delay. Especially this time, the front screen has also added touch operation function, which is not something that can only be seen but not touched. This will also make selfies and Vlog shooting easier to operate. The relationship between
vs Action 2
action camera has been developing for many years, and now it has become more perfect, and the pain points have been solved one after another. It seems that there is no room for improvement. However, the emergence of DJI Action 2 action camera seems to have two skill trees to add. One of them is to pursue the ultimate compactness and lightness, and adopt a modular design, which is more suitable for wearable shooting, and focuses on life-oriented and daily shooting scene shooting.
, and the other road focuses on extreme sports, adapting to vertical sports shooting needs such as skiing, cycling, diving, etc., it needs to deal with a more "extreme" environment, it needs to be more rugged, professional and reliable, and it also needs a good battery life. Obviously, DJI Action 3 belongs to the latter.
It is worth mentioning that my friend tested that the base and some accessories of Action 2 generation are compatible, but the official did not mention it, and my friend did not conduct long-term testing. I am not sure whether long-term use will affect stability, but it can be used.
new machine Action 3 also absorbs the 2nd generation of magnetic quick disassembly/installation design, and is equipped with magnetic interfaces on the bottom of the body and the side of the protective cover, which is convenient for switching horizontal and vertical materials to shoot at any time, so as to facilitate release for different platforms.
Finally, let’s summarize the advantages of the new phone:
uses the magnetic quick-disassembly function;
front and rear dual touch screen design;
longer battery life;
60 frame 4K will not overheat;
horizontal and vertical shooting quickly switch;
self-portrait rod elimination function;
built-in 3 array microphones;
16 meters bare metal waterproof;
vs GoPro HERO 11 Black:
yesterday happened to GoPro also officially released its own new phone GoPro HERO 11 Black, many friends believe it is difficult to choose again. This new phone supports 5.3K video shooting, 10-meter waterproof, enhanced anti-shake 5.0, and night view delay... For detailed specifications, you can see the 4th item pushed today, and I won't go into details here. The price of the Chinese market is 3,498 yuan, and of course there is also a cheap version of GoPro HERO11 mini, priced at 2,998 yuan. GoPro 11 won a small victory in resolution and anti-shake, and DJI Action 3 won in cost-effectiveness and dark light performance. But I don’t care about this 5.3K (4K is a hard time to cut a 4K machine), especially the all-round suit only costs 2,999 yuan. In the face of the 500 yuan difference, what would you choose when the performance is close?
This time, together with Action 3, there is also a new APP "Shangchi" that can directly identify the device and easily cut the film with one click. There are also many ready-made templates that can be used directly, which can be shot, cut and shared.
