DJI says that the 1770mAh ‘Extreme’ battery can be completely charged in around 50 minutes and that it can power the camera for up to 160 minutes. Heat management has been improved, enabling it to operate in temperatures as low as -4 degrees F and run continuously at 4K / 60fps until the battery is depleted. Its predecessor supposedly suffered from a slew of overheating troubles and was only operable above 32 degrees F, according to its technical specs.
To firmly connect it to objects like handlebars and helmets, the camera has a protective frame with support for both horizontal and vertical rapid installation. For a more impact-resistant grasp, notches have been added to the quick-release mechanism initially seen on Action 2.
DJI says that the Osmo Action 3 is the first action camera with dual touchscreens, enabling users to access settings from either the front or rear. Three-mic stereo recording (to reduce wind noise), voice controls, and 4x digital zoom are also included. If the built-in microphones are inadequate, the Action 3 supports DJI microphones via direct USB-C connections and additional external microphones using 3.5mm to USB-C connections.
