Leaked images have revealed DJI’s apparent successor to its 2021 Action 2 camera, with the new Osmo Nano featuring an even smaller pill-shaped design and modular magnetic accessories, though the company has made no official announcement.

The leaks, first spotted by Notebookcheck and shared by reliable sources including YouTuber The Product Village and leaker Roland Quandt, show a camera module closer in size to Insta360’s recently announced Go Ultra rather than DJI’s own Action 2.

Product shots shared by Roland Quandt reveal the Osmo Nano camera module lacks its own screen, instead relying on a magnetically attached display module for live previews and footage review.

This approach differs from the Action 2, which featured a small rear touchscreen on the main unit.

The pill-shaped form factor appears significantly more compact than the square Action 2, potentially positioning it as DJI’s answer to ultra-portable competitors like the Insta360 Go series, which has gained popularity for hands-free POV recording.

Packaging briefly shown in The Product Village’s YouTube video (subsequently reuploaded to X by Igor Bogdanov) confirms the Osmo Nano will include 128GB of built-in storage, a substantial upgrade from typical action cameras that rely on microSD cards.

The packaging suggests DJI plans multiple bundle configurations with various accessories, though specific details about these bundles remain unclear.

This strategy mirrors the Action 2’s release, which offered different packages including screen modules, power modules, and mounting accessories.

Without specifications, it’s difficult to assess how the Osmo Nano will compete.

The Action 2, while innovative with its modular design, faced criticism for overheating issues and limited battery life, problems that DJI will need to address in this successor.

 

The ultra-compact form factor suggests DJI is targeting content creators seeking minimal, wearable cameras for POV footage rather than traditional action sports users.

The Insta360 Go 3, currently priced around $629, offers similar portability with a 2.7K resolution and hands-free recording modes.

If DJI follows Action 2 pricing patterns (which launched at $519 for the base unit), the Osmo Nano could position itself competitively in the sub-$600 action camera segment.

However, the inclusion of 128GB built-in storage might push pricing higher.

Critical specifications remain unknown, including:

  • Video resolution and frame rates
  • Battery life and whether modules include additional batteries
  • Whether DJI has addressed the Action 2’s thermal management issues
  • Stabilisation capabilities
  • Water resistance rating
  • Release date and regional availability

The reliance on attached modules for screen functionality raises questions about durability and weather sealing, important considerations for action cameras used in challenging conditions.

Without official confirmation from DJI, these leaks should be viewed cautiously.

However, the apparent product photography quality and packaging details suggest an announcement may be imminent, possibly aligned with the holiday shopping season.
