This Action Camera With Accessories Is Now Under $200
One of the best discounts during Amazon’s big spring sale this year comes on the DJI Osmo Action 4 Essential Combo , which is now $199, down from $289, its lowest price yet, according to price trackers .
This Essential Combo makes it easy without skimping on the essentials: you get a camera, a powerful battery, a horizontal/vertical frame for quick replacement, and everything you need to get started right out of the box. The camera itself shoots 4K video at 120fps using a 1/1.3-inch sensor that handles low light better than most other action cameras in this range. This means sharper shots at dusk or in shadowy areas—essentially where cheaper cameras start to fail. Image stabilization is excellent and on par with GoPro, PCMag’s review noted. You can run, bike or strap it to your chest while snowboarding and your footage will be smooth. But there is no built-in memory, so you will need a microSD card. This isn’t a deal breaker, but it’s something to know ahead of time.
However, this is not the full version of the Adventure Combo , so you won’t get extra batteries or a charging hub. For regular users this is probably fine. But if you want to vlog or film long sessions, it may be worth budgeting for extras for the future. It’s also waterproof to 59 feet, and the touchscreen works well even when wet. The DJI Osmo Action 4 camera connects to your phone via the DJI app if you want to shoot remotely or quickly transfer clips. If you’re already using a GoPro setup, this won’t force you to switch. But for first-time buyers or casual creators, this is a virtually minimal-risk deal.
