Shoot Better on the Ground: A Complete Guide to DJI's Handheld Collection

DJI's handheld collection covers a lot of ground — from wearable action cameras and gimbal-stabilized vlogging cameras, to smartphone stabilizers, camera gimbals, and wireless microphones. Here's how to make sense of it all.

How the Collection Is Organized

DJI groups its handheld products into 7 categories:

Nano Series — Osmo Nano

The Osmo Nano is a compact camera built for mounting on your head, chest, or body for hands-free, point-of-view shooting. It features a 1/1.3-inch sensor, 4K/60fps video, a 143° wide field of view, 10-bit color with D-Log M, and a dual-sided magnetic design for quick attachment. It's 10m waterproof and supports direct connection to two DJI microphone transmitters via DJI OsmoAudio™ without a receiver. Perfect for family activities, kids, pets, or any situation where you want a camera running hands-free.

360 Series — Osmo 360

The Osmo 360 captures everything around you in a single shot, with up to 8K resolution and low-light performance up to 4K/120fps. The 360° format lets you choose your framing in post — useful for travel, immersive social content, or any scenario where you want maximum creative flexibility after the fact.

Pocket Series — Osmo Pocket 3

The Pocket 3 combines a camera and a mechanical 3-axis gimbal in one pocket-sized body. Key features:

• 1-inch CMOS sensor with 4K/120fps (in Slow Motion mode) and D-Log M
• 2-inch rotatable OLED screen — switches automatically between horizontal and vertical
• ActiveTrack 6.0 for subject tracking
• 10-bit stereo recording
• Full-pixel PDAF for fast, accurate autofocus
• If smooth, cinematic vlog footage is the priority and you don't need waterproofing or an extreme wide angle, the Pocket 3 is the right call.

Action Series — Osmo Action 6, 5 Pro, Action 4

The Action series is built for shooting in demanding conditions. The flagship Osmo Action 6 features a 1/1.1-inch sensor, 4K/120fps recording in 4:3, 50GB built-in storage, RockSteady 3.0 stabilization, HorizonSteady, and a waterproof rating of 20m without a case. It supports direct connection to two DJI microphone transmitters via DJI OsmoAudio™, and operates reliably from -20°C to 45°C (-4°F to 113°F). The right choice for surfing, cycling, skiing, or any activity where the camera takes a beating.

The Osmo Action 5 Pro and Osmo Action 4 are available at lower price points and share the same rugged design philosophy.

Mic Series — DJI Mic 3, Mic Mini, Mic 2

Clean audio is half the job. DJI offers three wireless mic systems:

• DJI Mic 3 — The flagship mic. Records 4 separate audio tracks, supports lossless audio transmission, noise cancellation (adjustable between Basic and Strong), and adaptive gain control. Connects up to 4 transmitters with 8 receivers. Built for interviews, documentary work, and professional productions.
• DJI Mic Mini — A compact, lightweight wireless mic with multiple recording modes (Stereo, Mono, and Safety Track) and advanced noise cancelling. Direct connection to DJI cameras via OsmoAudio™. Ideal for mobile vlogging and on-the-go setups.
• DJI Mic 2 — Features 32-bit float internal recording, intelligent noise cancelling, and a 250m transmission range. A strong choice for creators who want broadcast-quality audio backup recording built into the transmitter itself.

Mobile Series — Osmo Mobile 8, 7, SE, 6

The Mobile series turns your smartphone into a proper video camera with 3-axis mechanical stabilization. The current collection includes the Osmo Mobile 6, SE, 7, and 8.

• Osmo Mobile 8 — The flagship. It features Native Tracking, Apple DockKit support for iOS users, enabling subject tracking in the native Camera app and in third-party apps like YouTube and Blackmagic Camera — plus a built-in extension rod and tripod, and phone charging via the roll axis.
• Osmo Mobile 7 — A more compact option with 3-axis stabilization, ActiveTrack 7.0, an ultra-light foldable design, and up to 10-hour battery life with phone charging support.
• Osmo Mobile SE and Osmo Mobile 6 — Available for creators who want reliable stabilization at a more accessible entry point.

RS Series — DJI RS 5, RS 4 Mini, RS 4 Pro, RS 4

The RS series is designed for creators using mirrorless or DSLR cameras. DJI USA currently offers four models:

• DJI RS 5 — The current flagship RS gimbal
• DJI RS 4 Mini — Compact and lightweight with a 2kg (4.4 lbs) payload, auto axis locks, intelligent tracking, and native vertical shooting
• DJI RS 4 Pro — Professional-grade payload and features for larger camera setups
• DJI RS 4 — The core all-rounder for most mirrorless camera setups

If you're shooting with a smartphone, the Mobile Series is the right fit. If you're shooting with a camera, the RS Series is what you need.
