The Osmo Action is a really well put together gadget. Its waterproof metal frame is coupled with grippy, textured rubberised sides for a great in-hand feel. The Action’s buttons are also easy to press, and deliver a satisfactory amount of click feedback, so even if you’re wearing gloves, you can fire it up and start recording without much faffing. Slide down the flap on the left side of the Action to unveil a water-sealed section containing the USB-C port and a microSD card slot. At the base is a battery component, on the front is the camera, which is accompanied by a small, square 1.4in display. Around the back, it’s all screen, with a 16:9, 2.4in LCD display, featuring a pixel density of over 300PPI - nice and sharp. The Osmo Action ships with one housing and an adhesive mount, so out of the box can easily be affixed to a car, helmet or anything else you can tack it onto, though you'll have to pick up a microSD card separately if you want to get recording.

Jun 27, 2019 ·  The DJI OSMO Action is actually the first actual action camera that I have seen in years. And I’m not talking about the dimensions (65×42×35 mm / 2.5×1.6×1.4″) or anything as there are plenty of similar models in that size.

Mar 12, 2020 ·  The GoPro Max is one of the most versatile cameras the company has launched to date thanks to its dual-cameras setup. It's easy to use and easy to edit footage afterwards. 

It’s clear GoPro put a lot of thought into the design of the Max, both the hardware and software. It’s smaller and lighter than the Fusion, making it more appropriate for the extreme sports situations GoPro cameras often find themselves in, but it’s still noticeably larger than the Hero8 Black. Surprisingly, the GoPro Max has a built-in touchscreen that lets you preview footage and control the camera. It also shares the Fusion’s offset lens design, which supposedly aids the accuracy of stitching the two hemispheres together. Better yet, where the Fusion relied on a separate memory card for each camera, the Max has a single MicroSD card. Stitching is now handled in-camera as opposed to in post. That’s good news, but in-camera stitching to a single memory card is par for the course. Cheaper 360 cameras, like those from Rylo and Insta360, have been doing it for years. Where GoPro comes out ahead is its stellar mobile app. It’s much more capable than it was in the time of the Fusion, an...
