DJI promises pro-level quality from the tiny camera, with 4K video, advanced stabilization, 10-bit color and more.

The DJI Osmo Nano boasts a Type 1/1. 3 (9. 6mm x 7. 2mm) sensor with a 2. 4mount the Osmo Nano in a variety of ways, including on helmets, hats, lanyards and more.

You can wear or mount the DJI Osmo Nano in many different ways.

The camera can record up to 4K60 video and 4K120 for slow-motion. However, the HorizonBalancing and RockSteady 3. 0 stabilization modes are only compatible with up to 4K60. It supports 10-bit and D-Log M, which DJI says is a first for wearable cameras of this size. Users will have access to multiple recording modes and tools, such as SuperNight Mode, pre-recording, hyperlapse, timelapse, gesture control and more. It's also capable of 35MP still photos.

The Osmo Nano features two built-in microphones for stereo recording. Like DJI's other recent releases, it can also connect to two DJI microphone transmitters without a receiver, allowing users to get improved audio quality. The camera is also compatible with the company's ND filter set.

Unlike the Insta360 Go series, the Osmo Nano's camera doesn't slot into the middle of the dock. Instead, the camera magnetically attaches to the top of what DJI calls the Multifunctional Vision Dock. It can be mounted in either direction, making it easier to swap between selfies and POV recording. The dock portion measures 59. 1 x 42. 2 x 22. 3mm (2. 3 x 1. 7 x 0. 9"), so it's still a compact device even when both components are together.

The Multifunctional Vision Dock functions as a display, remote trigger, charging station and file-transfer station. It features a 1. 96-inch OLED touchscreen to help frame your shots or review your recordings. The dock can charge the main camera up to 80% in 20 minutes and, when fully charged, promises up to 200 minutes of 1080p/24fps recording. DJI also created an "Endurance" mode that promises 4K30 recording for up to 60 minutes. The standalone camera promises up to 90 minutes of battery life at 1080p.

The Osmo Nano main camera is waterproof to 10m (32. 8'). The dock, however, only offers an IPX4 rating for splash resistance. It's meant to handle sweat and rain, but isn't designed to go underwater with the main camera. The camera comes in 64GB or 128GB versions, though the dock is compatible with microSD cards for expanded storage.

As with other recent DJI announcements, the Osmo Nano will not be officially available in the US. However, as with those previous launches, the camera may be available through unofficial retailers in the US, but that is not guaranteed. For customers outside the US, the Osmo Nano is available today at a starting price of CA$309,

DJI Launches Osmo Nano, A Hands-Free Wearable Camera with Unmatched Image Quality

Next-Gen 1/1. 3

September 23, 2025 - DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, today launches the Osmo Nano. This lightweight, wearable action camera can be mounted anywhere - from hats and helmets to pet collars - with a dual-sided magnetic design. It is also equipped with a next-gen 1/1. 3-inch sensor and a high-performance image processor, offering up to 13. 5 stops of dynamic range. Together, the Osmo Nano empowers creators to capture creative, hands-free visuals that are on par with professional cameras.

Effortlessly Wearable – Anywhere You Go

With its ultra-compact design, easy magnetic mounting, and versatile accessory options, Osmo Nano can be mounted anywhere. The smallest of DJIsmo Nano camera is waterproof up to 10 meters without any additional housing, and, when paired with the Multifunctional Vision Dock, it offers IPX4-rated splash resistance, protecting against sweat, rain, and minor splashes. Shots can also be controlled remotely with the built-in OLED HD touchscreen on the Multifunctional Vision Dock. The perspectives are endless, providing another dimension of creativity and versatility to any video captured.

Image Quality Beyond Imagination

The 1/1. 3-inch sensor delivers the best image quality possible for compact action cameras, and the high-performance image processor offers a superior dynamic range of 13. 5 stops1 to ensure impressive low-light performance. Osmo Nano captures every scene in crisp detail, with up to 4K/60fps video2 and 4K/120fps slow motion. Osmo Nano’s 143° ultra-wide field of view fits more into every frame, so no part of the moment is ever cropped out. Osmo Nano is the only wearable camera of this size to offer 10-bit and D-Log M color performance. The 10-bit video allows the capture of up to one billion colors and 72% more color space than 8-bit standard video, providing stunning visuals not previously possible with compact action cameras. Meanwhile, the D-Log M mode preserves color and brightness information, offering greater flexibility for post-production and creative editing. In low light conditions, Osmo Nano's SuperNight mode3 enhances image quality with noise reduction algorithms. For image stabilization, HorizonBalancing maintains the horizon level, correcting tilts within a ±30° range, and RockSteady 3. 0 reduces camera shake.

Versatile Dock Supports Remote Control, Battery Charging, and File Transfer

Osmo Nano’s Multifunctional Vision Dock acts as a display screen, a remote photo trigger, a charging station, and a high-speed file transfer station. The magnetic design allows the camera to be mounted to the dock in any direction, making it easy to switch between selfies and portraits. The dock can fast charge the main camera up to 80% battery level in only 20 minutes1. When docked and fully-charged, the camera can record up to 200 minutes of 1080p/24fps video, and the new Endurance mode allows for the recording of up to 60 minutes of 4K/30fps (16:9) video. The Multifunctional Vision Dock features a built-in microSD card slot. It can also connect mobile devices or computers using a PD fast-charging cable for transfers up to 600 MB/s4.

Various Audio Options for Premium Sound

Osmo Nano features dual built-in microphones for stereo recording, delivering clear, vivid audio for an immersive first-person audiovisual experience. OsmoAudio™ Direct Microphone Connection allows users to capture studio-quality sound by connecting the Osmo Nano directly to two DJI microphone transmitters without a receiver5.

Creative Freedom with Flexible Shooting Modes

Creators have a number of Osmo Nano shooting modes and features that offer versatility, interesting composition, and the opportunity to stay in the moment:

Horizontal & Vertical Shooting - easily switch between horizontal and vertical shooting

Auto Recording - set shooting intervals and clip durations for automatic recording

Gesture Control - start shooting with a nod gesture or tapping the device in auto recording mode

Pre-Rec - automatically saves footage from just before the record button is pressed
