DJI Osmo Nano: The Pin-Sized 4K Action Cam That Does It All!

DJI Osmo Nano: The Tiny 4K Action Cam That Records When You Nod

28 September 2025

Ultra-compact wearable: Osmo Nano weighs just 52 g (2 oz) with a 57×29×28 mm body ^[1]. Its magnetic two-piece design lets the tiny camera clip onto hats, helmets, straps or even a pet’s collar for hands-free POV shooting ^[2].
High-end video: The Nano packs a 1/1.3″ sensor that records up to 4K/60 fps and 4K/120 fps slow-motion video ^[3]. DJI claims it delivers “professional-level visuals” with a very wide 143° lens, 10-bit color and D-Log M support – capturing up to 13.5 stops of dynamic range ^[4] ^[5]. In fact, reviewers note the Nano is “the only camera in its featherweight class to record 10-bit and D-Log M color” ^[6], a first for a wearable action cam.
RockSteady stabilization: Built-in RockSteady 3.0 and HorizonBalancing tech smooth out shakes and level the horizon up to ±30°. Tests report impressively steady footage even in fast motion, making it great for action vlogs ^[7]. Handy gesture controls (e.g. nod-to-record) and auto-record modes let you start/stop without touching the camera ^[8].
Magnetic mounting & accessories: The camera’s magnetic back and clip-lock design attach instantly to metal plates or included accessories (hat clip, lanyard, ball-joint mount). DJI emphasizes that “the perspectives are endless” – you can mount Nano virtually anywhere for creative angles ^[9]. It even comes with a headband/helmet mount and adapter so your existing DJI Osmo mounts (Action/O Handphone gimbals) will work ^[10] ^[11].
Multifunctional Vision Dock: The detachable dock is an OLED touch-screen, controller and charger. It lets you preview shots, switch modes and trigger recording remotely. When Nano is docked, it charges quickly (80% in ~20 min) and can record up to 200 min at 1080p/24fps or about 60 min at 4K/30fps ^[12]. The dock also holds a microSD card slot for extra storage and provides a USB-C PD port for transfers.
Audio: Nano has dual built-in stereo mics with wind-noise reduction. It even supports DJI’s OsmoAudio ecosystem – you can directly connect up to two DJI wireless microphones (Mic 2/Mic Mini) without a receiver ^[13], for “studio-quality sound” on the move. (Reviewers were surprised by how clear the audio can be ^[14].)
Pricing & availability: The Osmo Nano Standard Combo (64GB internal storage) starts at about €279 in Europe (≈$309 USD) ^[15]. A 128GB version is €309. Global shipping began Sep 23, 2025, with stock in the EU, UK, Canada, etc ^[16]. (DJI has stated the Nano “will not be available officially in the U.S. market on official websites” at launch ^[17], though U.S. buyers may import it.)

In short, DJI’s new Osmo Nano is a truly miniaturized action camera. At only 52 g and with a tiny magnet-clippable body, it “goes wild” in locations where bigger cams can’t ^[18]. DJI itself calls it “ultra-compact” and says it brings hands-free video on par with larger pro cams ^[19]. The build is solid, with the waterproof (to 10 m) camera snapping firmly into its dock via magnets and clips. Early hands-on reports praise its build and mount robustness – even clipping Nano under a helmet or on a jacket felt secure ^[20].

Behind the tiny exterior is high-end imaging. The 1/1.3″ CMOS sensor (shared with DJI’s Action 5 Pro) can shoot 4K up to 60 fps, plus 4K at 120 fps for slow-motion ^[21]. It outputs 10-bit video, capturing “72% more color” than an 8-bit cam ^[22]. Reviewers note the image quality is impressive: Amateur Photographer found the “quality of the 10-bit video is impressive, especially… DJI says the Nano is the first ‘wearable’ to offer 10-bit” ^[23]. In daylight the footage is sharp and richly detailed; even in lower light the Nano’s SuperNight mode and wide 143° lens pull in a lot of the scene ^[24] ^[25]. Dynamic range (~13.5 stops) is excellent for its size ^[26], keeping highlights and shadows well-balanced.

Stabilization is another strong suit. The Osmo Nano inherits DJI’s RockSteady 3.0 and horizon leveling (HorizonBalancing) tech ^[27]. In practice this means very steady video from a chest or head mount, even during jogging or cycling. Reviewers report “I was very impressed” by how well it held the horizon during fast moves ^[28]. Switching between horizontal and vertical shooting is easy with the dock, and there are smart features like pre-record (which always saves a few seconds of footage before you pressed record) and on-device gesture control (a nod or tap to start/stop) ^[29] ^[30].

Battery life is solid for such a small cam. In tests, a full charge in the dock gave about 200 minutes of recording at 1080p24 ^[31]. The camera module alone will record roughly 55–60 minutes at 4K/30fps (slightly less at 4K/60) ^[32]. USB-C fast-charging from the dock (or any power bank) replenishes 80% in about 20 minutes ^[33] ^[34], so one can swap batteries during a day out if needed.

Compared to DJI’s other cameras: The Nano is in a league of its own for size. As Amateur Photographer notes, it’s “the smallest vlogging option from the DJI stable, smaller than the Pocket 3 or Osmo 360” ^[35]. For example, the Osmo Pocket 3 (1″ sensor, 3-axis gimbal) is much bulkier but offers bigger sensor (1″ vs 1/1.3″) and built-in 3-axis stabilization ^[36]. DJI’s flagship Osmo Action 5 Pro (USD $349) actually uses the same 1/1.3″ sensor and supports 4K/60 or 4K/120 video ^[37] ^[38], but it’s a traditional GoPro-style camera (with dual screens and an “extended” battery) rather than a wearable. The Action 5 Pro also has top-notch stabilization and up to ~4 hours battery life (in 1080p) ^[39], whereas Nano trades that for extreme portability. In short, DJI’s Osmo Nano isn’t trying to replace those cameras but to complement them: it offers hands-free wearability that no other DJI cam has. Reviewers agree the Nano “breaks new ground in the vlogging department” thanks to its magnet-clip design ^[40].

Pricewise, DJI has been competitive. At ~$300 (64 GB) the Osmo Nano undercuts many larger action cams, despite matching or exceeding some of their video specs. Amateur Photographer observes that DJI “has priced the Osmo Nano very keenly” ^[41] for what it offers. Given its unique form factor, quality image output and robust stabilization, many experts predict it will be a hit with content creators once they get their hands on it. DJI’s only limitation is regional availability: at launch the Nano is sold in Europe, UK, Canada and selected markets ^[42], but DJI has signaled hope to serve the U.S. market later ^[43] (unofficial resellers are already listing it on Amazon).

Sources: DJI’s media release and spec sheets ^[44] ^[45] ^[46]; tech reviews and hands-on reports ^[47] ^[48] ^[49]; pricing from DJI and news outlets ^[50] ^[51]. These confirm the Osmo Nano’s features, performance and market position.

DigitalOcean DOCN's 31% surge prompts P/E debate as earnings outlook dims
November 8, 2025, 8:48 AM EST. DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:DOCN) has jumped 31% in the last 30 days, and 29% for the year, keeping the stock in the spotlight. The stock's P/E of 18x sits near the US market median, suggesting valuations haven't yet priced in a meaningful earnings downturn. Analysts still expect next-year earnings to fall by about 58% (from eleven analysts), even as broader markets are seen growing around 16%. The company showed explosive earnings growth recently (about 203% year over year) but longer-term growth has been tepid. With a mixed growth backdrop and a potentially weaker outlook, the rally may be vulnerable if earnings disappoint and multiple expansion stalls. Investors should weigh the earnings trend, analyst estimates, and sector dynamics before chasing further gains.
Is Akero Therapeutics (AKRO) Valuation Justified Amid Recent Momentum?
November 8, 2025, 8:44 AM EST. Akero Therapeutics (AKRO) has marched higher this month, up about 16%, with a scorching 92.5% year-to-date climb and a quiet news cycle. Investors are reevaluating the stock's path as momentum builds. At a P/B ratio of 4.2x, Akero trades well above the industry average of 2.4x, signaling a premium placed on anticipated growth or potential breakthroughs-noting the company still generates no revenue and remains unprofitable. The stock's uptick raises the question: is there more room to run, or has the market already baked in its future upside? The high multiple implies a fragile balance between upside potential and execution risk around clinical milestones and commercialization. Risks include missed milestones or delays, which could compress valuations even as optimism persists.
Is MillerKnoll's Options Market Betting on a Move? What Traders Should Know
November 8, 2025, 8:42 AM EST. MillerKnoll, Inc. (MLKN) is drawing attention as the options market shows elevated implied volatility around the Nov. 21, 2025 $15 call, signaling traders anticipate a potential big move in the shares. High IV often reflects upcoming events or uncertainty, and may lend itself to premium selling strategies as investors bet on limited post-expiration movement. On the fundamentals, Zacks ranks MillerKnoll #2 Buy in the Furniture group, though the latest 60-day revisions show earnings estimates slipping from 42 cents to 40 cents per share this quarter. The mismatch between bullish option pricing and modest earnings momentum could be a setup for a volatility-driven trade rather than a straightforward stock rally. Traders should weigh the implied move against the core business picture and their risk tolerance.
Implied Volatility Surges in Progressive Corporation Options (PGR) on Nov 21, 2025 Call
November 8, 2025, 8:40 AM EST. Investors are watching The Progressive Corporation (PGR) as options traders push implied volatility higher for near-term moves. The standout is the Nov. 21, 2025 $155 Call, which showed some of the highest IV among equity options today. Implied volatility gauges how much the market expects the stock to move and often signals a potential event or earnings surprise. While IV can hint at a big rally or sell-off, it's only one piece of the puzzle. Analysts currently rate PGR as a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) within the Insurance - Property and Casualty group, with earnings estimates edging up to $4.43 this quarter. Some traders may attempt to sell premium to capture time decay if the stock moves less than expected.
A10 Networks (ATEN) Declares $0.06 Dividend; 1.4% Yield Backed by Earnings
November 8, 2025, 8:38 AM EST. The board of A10 Networks, Inc. (NYSE: ATEN) announced a $0.06 per share dividend to be paid on December 1, with a current price yield of about 1.4%, above the industry average. The payout is supported by cash flow and earnings, with EPS forecast to grow around 13% next year and an expected payout ratio near 36%, signaling a sustainable dividend path. The dividend history is short, rising from $0.20 in 2021 to $0.24 most recently, a roughly 4.7% annual growth in distributions over that span. Five-year EPS growth has been roughly 41% per year, aided by reinvestment. Overall, ATEN appears as a stable income stock with positive earnings momentum, though the record isn't long enough to judge cyclicality.
