Here’s a comprehensive list of DJI equipment commonly used by motovloggers*, including action cameras, gimbal cameras, and audio gear:

DJI Cameras Popular with Motovloggers

Action Cameras

• DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro – Featuring a 1/1.3″ sensor, dual OLED touchscreens, 360° HorizonSteady stabilisation, Wi-Fi 6, internal storage, and up to 4 hours battery life. Released in September 2024.

• DJI Osmo Action 4 – A rugged 4K/120 fps action cam with 10-bit D-Log M color, strong low-light performance, magnetic quick-release, waterproof up to 18 m. Released August 2023.

• DJI Osmo Action 3 – Older but still capable: 4K/120 fps, HorizonSteady stabilisation, dual screens, waterproof, and long battery life.

• DJI Action 2 – A modular action cam with a magnetic accessory system—great for creative setups.

Gimbal Cameras

• DJI Osmo Pocket 3 – A pocket-sized 3-axis gimbal cam with 1″ sensor, mechanical stabilisation, 4K/120 fps, and rotatable screen—excellent for stable mid-speed motovlogs or ride-along scenes.

360° Cameras

• DJI Osmo 360 – A versatile 360° camera that shoots 8K/50 fps video, 120 MP photos, compact and rugged design with internal 128 GB storage—but suffers from weak built-in audio in windy conditions, making it less ideal without external mic support.

Audio Equipment Vital for Motovlogging

• DJI Mic 2 – A top-tier wireless mic system with 32-bit float recording, noise cancellation, and up to 250 m range. Widely used in motovlogging setups where high-quality audio is crucial.

• Osmo Action 5 Pro / Action 4 Motorcycling Combos – Bundles including chest strap or handlebar mounts for practical first-person capture while riding.

• Helmet Chin Mount – Offers a natural rider’s POV; compatible with Action 5 Pro, 4, and 3.

• Suction Cup Mount – For attaching cameras to smooth surfaces like fairings or tanks. Dual ball-joint adds flexibility.

• 3.5 mm Audio Adapter – Enables external mic input for clearer sound recording (e.g., connecting DJI Mic 2).
