What's So Great About the Osmo Action?

Killer Camera

The camera produces stunning colours with 4K HDR and even has the option to record in D-Cinelike for fine-tune post edits.
RockSteady EIS
One of the things that make the Osmo Action so special is RockSteady electronic image stabilisation, which is used to make sure any footage you capture is buttery smooth, even if it was recorded while riding on a bumpy dirt track. RockSteady uses advanced algorithms to ensure that your videos are smooth and stable, providing an incredible level of stabilisation that still outperforms many competitors.
Dual Screens
The Osmo Action was one of the earliest action cameras to introduce a dual screen design, allowing users to frame up the perfect shot whether they are behind or in-front-of the camera. The front and back screen provide live camera feed, helping you make quick split-second adjustments when filming.
