The best action camera for vlogging and selfies: Our DJI Osmo Action review
DJI takes on GoPro with a selfie screen on an action camera. A review by Chris Chang, staff writer for Abacus, a sister tech site of the Post.
The DJI Osmo Action is a rugged 4K action camera designed with vloggers in mind. The front-facing screen makes it unique among action cameras, and it stands up well against the competition.
I’ve spent the past several weeks using the Osmo Action, using it to shoot outdoor summer activities like diving and boat canoeing. This review will cover what I love about the device and its downsides, but I recommend you first check out the video above. Words can only do an action camera so much justice.
Also, let me preface this review by pointing out that I’m not a GoPro user and I don’t often use action cameras. I’m a filmmaker who primarily relies on mirrorless cameras for shooting documentaries and travel videos. I’m also a street photographer and occasionally still rely on film.
So keep in mind this Osmo Action review is the perspective of an action camera novice.
