Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.

The DJI Osmo Action 4 Standard Combo is the number one pick in this guide at £189.00, rated 4.4 out of 5 from 4,983 ratings. It is a compact action camera built around a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor, with a 155° ultra-wide field of view, 4K recording at up to 120fps, three stabilisation modes, and a body the listing says is waterproof to 18 m without a case.

The listing's own numbers are where the detail matters. Battery average life is quoted as 160 minutes, but neither the spec sheet nor the bullets say at which resolution or frame rate that was measured — and the headline feature is 4K at 120fps. The same sheet gives a minimum focal length of 3.3 mm and a maximum of 24 mm, which is how a zoom range is written, while the bullets describe a single fixed 155° field of view. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from testing we carried out ourselves.
