Our verdict

A cold weather, low light capable action camera with genuinely fast mount swapping, though the Essential Combo trades away the extra batteries and accessories of the pricier bundles.

Overview

DJI's Osmo Action 4 Essential Combo pairs a 1/1.3 inch sensor with 4K at 120fps and a 155 degree field of view, aimed at riders, divers and vloggers who need stabilized footage in changing light.

The 2.4 micron pixel size and 10-bit color with D-Log M are built for low light scenes and give more room to grade footage afterward. A magnetic quick release system lets you swap mounts and go vertical in seconds, and the 1770mAh battery is rated down to -20C (-4F) with waterproofing to 18 meters unaided. The Essential Combo is the compact version of the Standard Combo, so it ships without the curved adhesive base included in that kit.

  • 10-bit color and D-Log M for post production
  • Dual front and rear full color touchscreens
  • Three stabilization modes for smooth, level footage
  • Direct pairing with DJI Mic 2 or Mic Mini

Who it's for

This suits motorcyclists, divers, skiers and vloggers who shoot in cold or low light and want quick mount changes between angles. Riders or divers who plan to go past 18 meters, or anyone who wants every accessory in the box, should look at the Adventure Combo instead.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • 1/1.3 inch sensor aids low light shots
  • 4K at 120fps with 155 degree view
  • Battery rated down to negative 20 C
  • Magnetic quick release swaps mounts in seconds
Cons
  • Essential Combo skips the adhesive mount base
  • Waterproof only to 18 meters, unaided
  • No memory card storage specified here

Performance notes

Low light results come from the larger 1/1.3 inch sensor and 2.4 micron pixels, paired with auto white balance tuned to stay flicker free underwater. Three stabilization modes and a 155 degree wide field of view keep footage level and immersive at 4K 120fps with minimal cropping, and the magnetic mount plus dual touchscreens are built to speed up framing and angle changes in the field rather than requiring the camera to come off its mount.
