DJI just announced the Osmo Action, the company's first action camera. It's a direct competitor to GoPro's Hero 7 Black, matching it on almost every spec while also offering a few completely unique features — like a front-facing selfie screen. It costs $349 and is available now.

Some specs on the camera:
What resolution settings does Osmo Action support?
4K (16:9) – 60, 50, 48, 30, 25, and 24fps
4K (4:3) – 30, 25, and 24fps
2.7K (4:3) – 30, 25, and 24fps
2.7K (16:9) – 60, 50, 48, 30, 25, and 24fps
1080p – 240, 200, 120, 100, 60, 50, 48, 30, 25, and 24fps
720p – 240, 200fps
As someone who literally just purchased a GoPro a few weeks ago (Costco had a killer deal on it), this kind of bums me out because I am a big fan of DJI and I would have probably picked this up over the GoPro, and the fact that it will mount to almost any GoPro mount out there makes it even more attractive since I can keep the mounts I already have and not have to purchase new ones...
I'll wait till I see some reviews before deciding if I should return the GoPro and get this instead...[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

While we're used to seeing DJI's products in the sky, the company's new camera can be placed on helmets, bike frames, or electric skateboards since it works with almost all GoPro mounts that are already out there. The camera is also built to survive the elements: it's waterproof (up to 11 meters), shockproof (up to 1.5 meters / 5 feet), but it's still pretty light at about 0.3 lbs.
The Osmo Action has a 12-megapixel camera capable of 4K 60 fps video at 100 Mbps or 240 fps video at 1080. And you will not be disappointed with the stabilization. Last fall, the GoPro Hero 7 Black introduced some of the best stabilization action cameras had seen, and the Osmo Action's RockSteady feature is up to par.
[The photos are clean in good lighting conditions, but pretty grainy in low light. The biggest downside is that the image crops more than GoPro's, in both photo and video.
