I used the Mimo app to update firmware during testing and it worked like a charm. The app also supports file transfer to your phone, and includes some editing templates to spice up your footage before sharing.

While the front touch display is cramped at 1.4 inches, the main screen is much more spacious, measuring 2.25 inches. With both screens sporting a pixel density of 326PPI, they're plenty sharp, and they also get nice and bright for easy outdoor viewing.

Action Videos Still In 4K

Lightweight: With a basic weight from 14.2 kg, the Action 3 NG’s weight can be further decreased to 13 kg with the optional lightweight castor housing and lightweight wheels.

Stills photography is only 12 megapixels in a choice of Wide or Standard (Dwarp), but Raw files are an option as is manual control over exposure, either by choosing an EV target or explicitly setting shutter and ISO. The aperture is fixed at ƒ/2.8 which means any subject beyond 300mm (12 inches) should be in focus. For vloggers and live streamers, a three-mic stereo recording system reduces wind noise and boosts the audio quality of the footage. Wi-Fi livestream supports 1080p/30fps, 720p/30fps and 480p/30fps, and pausing recording during the stream. UAC/UVC Webcam support offers high-quality video and audio for conference calls and livestreams. Additional features of DJI Osmo Action 3 camera The DJI also falls behind when it comes to stills photography – it’s restricted to 12MP where the GoPro goes all the way up to 27MP – and these aren’t the only limitations.And, yes, it is also significantly cheaper than its main rival. The big question is can it compete where it matters: image quality? DJI's inclusion of a front touchscreen on the Action 3 can't be overlooked. Historically, front displays on action cameras were only used for framing up shots, but this time around, you can control all the camera's features with your digits when vlogging without having to turn it around.
