  • Leaked materials reveal first proper look of the rumored DJI Osmo Nano
  • The mini modular action cam looks like an Insta360 Go 3S rival
  • There will be two versions: 64GB and 128GB, with similar pricing to Go 3S

It looks like DJI is set to go head to head with Insta360 once again, with rumors suggesting an Osmo Nano is on the way, hot on the heels of the excellent Insta360 Go Ultra.

As a mini modular action cam, the Osmo Nano is a successor of sorts to DJI's Action 2 which was released in 2021, but fresh leaks reveal the new model's design and it looks like it has much more in common with Insta360's Go 3S, in fact, and less so the Go Ultra.

DJI tipster Jasper Ellens has shared (and translated) on Drone XL what looks like a slide from a presentation deck for the Osmo Nano, which gives us the first clear look of the pill-shaped action cam, together with a few of its features and accessories.

Ellens goes on to share the price and release date too, and we might not have long to wait...

DJI's most fun action cam yet?

Insta360 has developed the 'Go' series of magnetic mini action cams which can be mounted and placed into tight spaces that even regular action cams like the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro and GoPro Hero 13 Black can't. And it's for this application that the Osmo Nano steps in.

There's the pill-shaped camera unit, which will ship in 64GB and 128GB versions and feature magnetic mounting on its back and sides. Furthermore, the magnetic polarity can be reversed for different applications – neat.

In addition to built-in storage, there will be an SD card slot, presumably in the screen unit, which will likely be able to view, control and record clips, both when attached to the camera unit or remotely via a wireless connection.

It looks like there will be plenty of accessories too, including baseball cap mounts and pet collar mounts for first-person / pet views.

Another slide seemingly reveals the price in euros: €369 for the 64GB version and €399 for the 128GB version – right in line with the Go 3S, and which could be the equivalent USD price and which could convert to around £339 / £369.

So when can we expect the DJI Osmo Nano? Ellens says to mark the calendar for September 10, as well as to look out for DJI Mini 5 Pro teasers.

It's not clear yet if DJI's Osmo Nano will supplant the Go 3S as the top mini action cam, but we'll be sure to give it a full test if and when it's launched. If it's anything like the Go 3S, it could be DJI's most fun action cam yet.
