I took a closer look at the appearance of the 4K / 120fps movie-compatible action camera 'Osmo Action 3' that can be purchased for around 40,000 yen



The action camera ' Osmo Action 3 ', which can shoot movies at up to 4K and 120fps, was released in September 2022. Osmo Action 3 not only has the environmental resistance required for an action camera, such as waterproof performance up to 16m and a display covered with high-strength glass, but also has a mount that can be connected to the mount with one touch and switched to a vertical position. I had the opportunity to touch the Osmo Action 3, so I first checked the appearance of the Osmo Action 3 and the features of the mount.

◆1: Unboxing the Osmo Action 3 Adventure Combo
In addition to the 'Standard Combo' which includes the main unit and battery, Osmo Action 3 also comes with several combos that come with accessories for different purposes, such as the 'Bike Combo' and 'Ski Combo'. This time, we will use the 'Adventure Combo', which comes with the main unit, battery, protective frame, extension rod and battery case.

The Osmo Action 3 Adventure Combo package looks like this.



When I opened the lid, the Osmo Action 3 body and the battery case appeared.



I took out all the contents of the box. From the top left, there is Osmo Action 3, a battery case, an extension rod, a small box containing mounting parts, a USB Type-C cable, an instruction manual, and a sticker.



Inside the small box were protective frames and mounting parts.



◆2: Check out the appearance of Osmo Action 3
The front of the Osmo Action 3 features a touch-enabled display and lens.



The outer edge of the lens protruded from the rectangular part.



The rubber cover covering the lens can be easily removed with your fingers. Be careful not to lose it.



On the back is a 2.25-inch touch display.



There is a power button and a protective cover on the side.



Under the protective cover was a USB Type-C port.



The other side only has a protective cover.



When you open the protective cover, the battery slot and MicroSD card slot are revealed.



There is a shutter button on the top.



A mount is installed on the bottom ...



It attaches firmly using the included mounting parts and magnetic force.



The mount is secured not only by magnetism but also by claws, so it doesn't seem like it will come off even if you shake it around.



The dimensions of the Osmo Action 3 are 70.5mm long x 44.2mm wide x 32.8mm high. It weighs 110g without the battery or MicroSD card inserted.



◆3: Dedicated battery case
The battery case looks like this.



It can store three dedicated batteries inside and is rechargeable.



The Osmo Action 3 weighs 145g with the battery inserted.



◆4: Rod extends up to 1.5m
The extension rod looks like this:



The actual length when retracted was approximately 23 cm, and the extended length was approximately 151 cm.



The extension rod and Osmo Action 3 connect via a mounting part.



This is what it looks like when you combine the extension rod with Osmo Action 3.



◆5: Protective frame that can be easily switched to vertical position
By attaching a protective frame to Osmo Action 3, you can instantly switch between landscape and portrait orientation.



This is what it looks like with the protective frame attached.



There is a large hole at the bottom of the protective frame, so ...



You can attach the mounting parts just as if the protective frame was not attached.



In addition, there is a hole on the side where the claws of the mounting parts can be hooked ...



The mounting parts can be attached in the same way as the bottom of the Osmo Action 3. This means that by attaching the protective frame to the Osmo Action 3, you can instantly switch between portrait and landscape orientations.



When the battery was inserted into the Osmo Action 3, the protective frame was attached, and it was attached to the extension rod, it weighed 360g.
