DJI Osmo Nano and Insta360 Go 3/3S: Competing in the Action Camera Market

Adam Juniper, a seasoned tech journalist with over 20 years of expertise, has shared insights on the upcoming action camera landscape. In September, historically a busy season for action camera launches, DJI is reportedly preparing to launch a new small modular action camera called the 'Osmo Nano'. This compact device is expected to hit the market in late August 2025, although some reports suggest a possible delay to September or October due to final refinements and supply chain challenges.

The DJI Osmo Nano is designed to be ultra-compact and modular, with a magnetic design that allows easy attachment and detachment, making it ideal for POV (point of view) shots. DJI’s renowned image stabilization technology is expected in this model, ensuring smooth footage even during high-energy activities. The price is estimated between $299 and $399, positioning it competitively against similar models, including the Insta360 Go 3S.

When compared to the Insta360 Go 3 and 3S, the DJI Osmo Nano seems to focus on an ultralight modular design and ecosystem integration, especially with DJI accessories like the DJI Mic 3 and drones. The Insta360 Go 3, released in mid-2023, is also a tiny wearable action cam with magnetic mounting, known for hands-free recording and hybrid versatility.

The Osmo Nano's main advantage lies in its modular magnetic design and DJI’s ecosystem, potentially offering smoother integration for creators already using DJI products. On the other hand, the Insta360 Go series provides a well-established, versatile option for ultra-compact action cams.

In the growing competition between DJI and Insta360 in the action camera market, both companies have shown their commitment to innovation and quality. DJI is known for producing some of the best camera drones, and Insta360 has entered DJI’s territory with its new drone brand, Antigravity.

Adam Juniper, a resident expert on camera drones and drone photography, has authored books such as "The Complete Guide to Drones", "The Smart Smart Home Handbook", "101 Tips for DSLR Video", and "The Drone Pilot's Handbook". His expertise across a vast number of product categories, including timelapse cameras, home security cameras, NVR cameras, photography books, webcams, 3D printers, 3D scanners, borescopes, and radar detectors, makes him a valuable resource for tech enthusiasts and professionals alike.

For those seeking guidance on the best action cameras available, Adam Juniper has also compiled a comprehensive guide. This guide includes the DJI Osmo Nano, Insta360 Go 3 series, and other notable options, as well as a guide to the best GoPro alternatives available. With the upcoming launch of the DJI Osmo Nano, the action camera market is set for an exciting period of competition and innovation.
