DJI claims that the Osmo Action 4 can record video for up to 160 minutes on a single charge, while fast charging brings the battery up to 80% in just 18 minutes.
As for actual video recording chops, the DJI Osmo Action 4 is capable of recording 4K video at up to 120 fps slow-motion, with support for HEVC/H.264, and it tops out at 130 Mbps. It also delivers features like 10-bit colour depth and D-Log M Color, which delivers wider dynamic range for more editing flexibility. Video stabilisation is still handled by EIS in the Osmo Action 4, but it offers support for horizon locking, and the RockSteady 3.0 stabilisation algorithms work even while recording at 4K 120 fps.
