The new DJI Osmo Nano is so small, you might forget that it’s there

DJI announced on Tuesday the Osmo Nano, the brand’s latest action camera. Its claim to fame is that it’s quite small, easily clipping to a baseball cap or a shirt collar for on-the-go action footage.

At just 52 grams, you may even forget it’s there. For reference, the U.S. nickel weighs about five grams, so this little guy weighs about as much as 10 nickels. And when we say small, we mean really small. It measures at 57 x 29 x 28 mm, which means it’s a few millimeters wider than two U.S. quarters next to each other. That makes it as portable as a camera gets. You can clip this to virtually anything, especially considering it comes with a magnetic clip to make attaching it to things easier. 

In addition to being generally light and easy to use, DJI has included a number of features to give creators more control. For example, the camera can save footage from shortly before the record button is hit, and can be activated with gestures such as a nod of a person’s head.

Let’s get into the nitty gritty of the specs. The camera features a 1/1.3-inch sensor that can capture video in 4K/60fps or 4K/120fps slow motion at a 143-degree field of view. DJI boasts 90 minutes of runtime at 1080p and around 60 minutes of runtime at 4K/60fps, giving you a fairly decent battery for such a small size. Users can shoot video in horizontal and vertical orientation, giving you a camera that works for YouTube or TikTok. 

The device itself can be submerged in up to 10 meters of water. This reduces to IPX4 splash resistance when paired with the Multifunctional Vision Dock. 

From there, you can capture video with a range of filters and editing options via the DJI Mimo app. DJI also boasts a night mode, stereo audio recording for videos, and the ability to connect microphones if you want to go that route. It can also capture 10-bit video and uses D-Log M, which makes the files easier to color grade in post production. 

DJI is selling the Osmo Nano for $309, and it should be available starting Tuesday in some areas. It was not immediately available in the U.S., however.
