The OSMO Action as reviewed in August’s MB&Y

[DavidJ]

I bought one for fun and love it. Uploading to iPad is a doddle, no skill required.
My vid goes on a bit but you can see the result.

Just for clarity, this is what an Osmo Action is....a camera. https://www.dji.com/uk/why-osmo-act...75TnlWWxHquplJ321FfnwOPsGK-3PzQcaAvmhEALw_wcB

I was waiting for something to whiz past dragging a deliriously happy kid under water lol.

Thanks MrB for the clarification. Yes, huge presumption on my behalf to assume folk would know what an OSMO was.
I hope you didn’t flog through to the end hoping for a whiz bang.
Nope just fish.

I did, but it was a very good and somewhat calming video so thanks for posting lol. (and very clear, the quality is top notch):encouragement:

It's very good quality, but what I find most amazing is when it's lifted out of the water and the lens is almost immediately completely clear of water droplets!

Thanks. Is it compatible with go pro mounts and brackets or do you have to start again and buy new peripherals?

Not sure but I bought a kit of handles, mounts and brackets from eBay for a tenner and a months delivery from China. Good quality too...,., and the handle makes it float.

I've just bought a very clever little camera from the same people - DJI Osmo Pocket - worth checking out.

I’ve just looked at the promotion video and it looks amazing. I like the integration with the iphone.
You’re going to have so much fun with that!

Just checked with a friends GoPro and it is exactly the same fitting. Must be an industry standard.

Many thanks- good to hear.
Go pro must be feeling very threatened by dji.
