DJI’s Osmo series could soon have a new member. According to leaked marketing materials shared by Hasper Ellens of DroneXL, the company is preparing to launch the DJI Osmo Nano, a compact action camera that looks set to succeed the DJI Action 2 from 2021.

The documents show a camera built around a two-part modular design. The main camera has been tagged on the top of a detachable module with a magnetic connection.

This module has an OLED touchscreen with HD resolution for live monitoring and controls, and it can charge the camera to 80% in just 20 minutes. It also houses an SD card slot for extra storage.

Osmo Nano features a flexible mounting system

What’s impressive is that the main camera can attach magnetically on multiple sides, both front and back, and even supports reversible polarity. That means creators could quickly flip orientation depending on whether they’re shooting selfies, group shots, or first-person footage. The Osmo Nano will have a 64GB or 128GB of built-in memory.

Accessories appear to be a big part of the Nano’s pitch. The leak shows a magnetic hat clip, a chest mount, a lanyard that can be worn under clothing for wearable filming, and a headband for first-person perspectives. 

DJI is also including a quick-release folding adapter that works with existing Action-series accessories, making it easier for users to bring older gear along.

As for pricing, the Osmo Nano will start at $369 / €369 for the 64GB model and $399 / €399 for the 128GB model. That puts it close to GoPro’s entry-level Hero offerings. 

Last but not least, Ellens claims the official launch is set for September 10, just ahead of the busy fall gadget season.
