DJI is best known for its drones and compact cameras. This past May, the company released their Osmo Action Camera. The small device is dustproof, shockproof, waterproof and can operate in sub-freezing temperatures. It uses a 1/2.3-inch sensor to record 12-megapixel photos and 4K video at up to 60 fps and 100 Mbps. Both of these devices are very useful for photographers and videographers who were on the go.
