The new Osmo Action 3 is palm-sized and weighs just 145 grams. It includes mounting clips on its bottom so you can put it...
iFlight GOCam PM G3 4K@60fps drone camera
Flight advertises their GOCam PM G3 as an action camera which is it's a little overkill. Without a rugged case and built-in battery, I wouldn't call it like this. Similar to the Naked GoPro and SMO 4K, they kept only the essential parts of the camera, limiting its usability.
The iFlight GOCam PM G3 measures 64.7*45*31.3mm and weighs just 37...

Hawkeye 4K Thumb camera for CineWhoops
When it comes to compact CineWhoop-style FPV drones is quite changing to install a full-size GoPro camera due to its heavy weight. Insta360 was the camera brand that provided ultra-light cameras for 2-3" drones. The new Hawkeye 4K Thumb camera adopts a similar design but without a built-in battery. By comparison, the Insta360 GO 2 weights 26.5g and records...

Foxeer Box 4k Superview quadcopter camera
Foxeer Box 4k camera with GoPro Session design
Although I find the "Mobius" design much proper for quadcopters, it seems that all major drone camera manufacturers move to cubic design. Like GoPro Hero, this new Foxeer Box 4k comes with the same compact cubic shape (40 x 40 x 40mm).
Compared to its predecessor (Legend 1), the Foxeer Box 4k camera offers much higher...
