With the arrival of the Osmo Nano, DJI expands its action camera lineup with a modular, ultra-compact device designed to be carried everywhere . This model strikes a balance between the convenience of a wearable format and the creative ambition of an accessory system that opens the door to numerous uses.
The concept revolves around two components: a tiny camera module and a multi-function dock with a 1,96-inch OLED screen that serves as a viewfinder, remote control, extra battery, and data transfer station. Both attach magnetically or can be used separately; the camera is submersible up to 10 meters, while the dock (Multifunctional Vision Dock) is splash-proof with an IPX4 rating.
What it provides and who it is aimed at
The Osmo Nano is aimed at those looking for a small, quick-to-mount camera for vlogging, sports outings, or capturing everyday life without hassle. Measuring 57 x 29 x 28 mm and weighing 52 g, it's a discreet solution that fits in any pocket and, thanks to its magnetic system, attaches in seconds to clothing, helmets, or metal surfaces.
Compared to larger cameras or those with more screens, the focus here is on portability and immediacy . DJI complements this approach with recording modes useful for social media and control options that allow recording without holding the device.
Modular design and magnetic system
The main component is the wearable camera, while the second part is the Multifunctional Vision Dock , which integrates the OLED touchscreen, an additional battery, and ports for connecting to a mobile device or computer. The bidirectional magnetic attachment allows the camera to be positioned in any orientation and to switch instantly between horizontal and vertical planes.
The accessory ecosystem includes a visor clip, magnetic chest collar, helmet mounts, and universal adapters , as well as options like suction cups and headbands. The camera itself, being magnetic, can attach to metal surfaces, facilitating creative, tripod-free shots when the environment allows.
Sensor, optics and image quality
Inside, we find a 1/1,3-inch CMOS sensor that delivers 35 megapixels for photography (up to 6880 x 5160 pixels). The lens is an f/2.8 wide-angle with a 143° field of view and a minimum focusing distance of 35 cm, a combination that prioritizes wide scenes without sacrificing close-up when shooting handheld.
In video, the Osmo Nano records up to 4K at 60p in both 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios, and includes slow motion up to 4K at 120 fps and 240 fps in Full HD (these clips are generated at 25/30p and without audio). The data rate reaches 120 Mbps with 4:2:0 sampling and 10-bit color, with an optional D-Log M profile to expand the grading range in post-production.
For photography, in addition to JPEG, it's possible to save in RAW format . And when the light fades, SuperNight mode applies noise reduction algorithms to deliver cleaner night scenes than usual for such compact cameras.
Stabilization and sound
Electronic stabilization combines RockSteady 3.0 to smooth out vibrations with HorizonBalancing, which keeps the horizon level by correcting tilts of up to ±30°. The result is very stable and natural when walking , and noticeably reduces sudden tremors when running or jumping.
In terms of audio, the system incorporates two microphones for stereo capture and allows direct connection (OsmoAudio) to two DJI microphone transmitters without an additional receiver. It also features gesture control (nodding or tapping the camera), pre-recording to capture key moments , and automatic interval recording modes.
Memory, connectivity and workflow
The camera is offered with 64 or 128 GB of internal storage . Additionally, the dock includes a microSD card slot to expand capacity and facilitate transferring footage when both modules are physically connected—a practical solution for long sessions or projects with many clips.
The dock acts as a transfer station and supports speeds of up to 600 MB/s via USB-C PD cable, making file transfers to your phone or computer quick and easy. All this comes with the added benefit of being able to view and adjust settings on the OLED screen without touching the camera.
Water resistance and autonomy
The camera module is submersible up to 10 meters without an additional housing, ideal for water activities and rain. The dock, meanwhile, offers IPX4 splash protection : it's best to keep it dry when recording in water.
In terms of power, the camera has a built-in 530 mAh battery , while the dock adds another 1300 mAh. For additional power options, see EcoFlow solutions . According to the manufacturer, the setup allows for up to 200 minutes of recording at 1080p/24 fps and a standby mode with up to 60 minutes of recording at 4K/30 fps. The dock can charge the camera to 80% in about 20 minutes , speeding up the time between shots.
Price and Availability
The DJI Osmo Nano is now available for purchase in Spain in two configurations: 64 GB for €279 and 128 GB for €309 . The package includes the camera, dock with screen, magnetic cap clip, magnetic strap, carrying case , USB-C PD (USB 3.1) cable, and magnetic adapter mount with ball head.
The brand offers additional accessories such as ND filters, quick-release mounts, and specific straps . In terms of price and performance, its goal is to compete with the most compact wearables on the market, striking a balance between size, image quality, and versatility.
Anyone looking for a lightweight camera for hands-free, remote-controlled shooting will find a solid and highly flexible option here: a large sensor for its size, 4K/60 video with 10-bit options, and a dock that expands its capabilities. On the other hand, it's worth noting that battery life depends on the dock, and for longer shooting sessions, a DJI Power 2000 portable power station is sometimes necessary . Also, the dock isn't waterproof—expected features in such a compact camera.
