DJI Action 3: Action Camera from Lord of Drones

DJI ACTION 3
The DJI Action 3 is a fantastic camera that follows its grandfather's original Osmo Action design. DJI probably realised that the 'innovative' modular design of the Action 2 was more a failure than a success. 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

Photo of iFlight GOCam PM G3 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...

RICOH THETA X
Ricoh is more known for its printers and copiers than for drone cameras. The Ricoh Theta X is the company's latest 360-degree camera and a direct competitor of the Insta360 X3. Both are great cameras for capturing 360° photos and stabilized videos. The Ricoh Theta X offers 11K stills resolution, which is 60.5MP, unmatched in its market segment. It can...

GoPro 12 vs Insta360 Ace Pro
With the Ace Pro, it’s clear that Insta360 wants to offer a GoPro alternative. Even the most popular brands have haters, not just fans, so there is room for new companies in any market segment. Both action cameras were released in 2023, with a two-month gap between them, and are the flagship models of the companies. Black Friday season has...

Hawkeye 4K Thumb camera for CineWhoops

Hawkeye 4K Thumb camera
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...

MINI V8 camera: DJI Action 2 alternative? Hell NO!

Tisi MINI 4k Viran camera
The Tisi MINI V8 is a DJI Action 2 size 4K action camera with impressive specifications that weighs less than 60 grams. Its small size attracted my attention because it is easy to install on FPV drones. As the only review found on this unknown camera was made by Tedward from Canada and he gave 5 stars, I decided...

Foxeer Box 4k Superview quadcopter camera

Foxeer Box 4k Superview
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...
