DJI Osmo Nano: A New Modular Action Camera on the Horizon
Historically, September has been a busy season for action camera launches, and this year is no exception. One of the most anticipated devices is the DJI Osmo Nano, a compact and versatile action camera expected to be released in August 2025.
Design and Features
The Osmo Nano boasts a modular magnetic design, with magnetic pins on the back that allow it to be easily attached and detached, making it ideal for everyday use over clothes. DJI's smallest action camera to date, the Osmo Nano resembles the Insta360 Go 3 in design and is rumored to include DJI’s latest stabilization technology for smooth video capture.
Release and Price
The Osmo Nano is expected to be officially announced in August 2025, with an initial price range of $250 to $300. However, recent updates suggest a price range of $299 to $399.
Leaks and Rumors
Images of the Osmo Nano have been leaked online, showing its compact size and modular design. It is speculated to have a detachable display similar to the DJI Action 2. The Osmo Nano is seen as a high-quality option for vloggers, athletes, and FPV drone pilots due to its lightweight and portable design.
As the competition between Insta360 and DJI continues to grow, it's interesting to note that the CEO of Insta360 was recently spotted wearing a compact camera that hasn't been released yet.

DJI is known for producing small cameras, including some of the best camera drones. The Go 3 series and the DJI Osmo Action 2 have a design where the camera has its own battery and can record for a time on its own, but can also connect to a housing which boosts power and features. The DJI Osmo Action 2 had a signature feature of a magnetic pendant for wearability.
As the busy season for action camera launches continues, it's clear that the market is becoming increasingly competitive. With the upcoming release of the DJI Osmo Nano, content creators seeking high-quality point-of-view footage have a new, cutting-edge option to consider.
