DJI Osmo Action gets revamped into the DJI Action 2

DJI

DJI is introducing a new rugged camera that redesigns the Osmo Action, which debuted over two years ago. The Action 2 drops the Osmo name and gets a 155-degree field of view lens and a 12-megapixel sensor. It can record 4K footage up to 120 frames per second and 240 frames per second slow-motion video at 1080p. It might not be as impressive as the top-of-the-line GoPro Hero 10 Black, but it offers something else that might appeal to a different set of users.

The DJI Action 2 comes in under two ounces and has a magnetic mounting system that expands its capabilities. If you want a front-facing display for vlogging purposes, you can attach the touchscreen module to serve as a secondary OLED display, introduces three extra mics, and up to 160 minutes of footage without stopping.

DJI unveils the Mavic Mini, its lightest and smallest drone yet

DJI keeps its newest drone palm-sized. It's small and lightweight enough that in the US, it doesn't even need an FAA registration (make sure to check local laws and regulations!). The Mavic Mini weighs in at just 249 grams. But its feature set isn't lacking. It's designed to be accessible for beginners to hobbyists who want a compact drone to take aerial photography and videography with. 

The Mavic Mini can take 12-megapixel photos and up to 2.7K Quad HD videos at 30 frames per second. There is no 4K support here, unfortunately. The drone has a maximum range of 4km and gives you a substantial flight time of 30 minutes. It has GPS receivers and downward visual sensors so you can expect precise hovering and stable flying. What it doesn't have is obstacle avoidance features, so if you aren't careful, you might crash it. We suggest getting used to flying it in open spaces.
