A highlighted cell is the outright better figure in that row, and only where one direction is unambiguously better. Weight, field of view and battery capacity are left neutral because the better direction depends entirely on what you are shooting.
Strengths and drawbacks
DJI Osmo Nano
- +Same sensor area as DJI's full-size action cameras in a third of the weight
- +10-bit D-Log M on a camera this small is unique here
- +Records with the dock detached, so the screen is optional weight
- +Internal storage as standard — there is no card to forget
- +Waterproof to 10 m bare, which the Insta360 GO Ultra is not
- −HorizonBalancing only corrects tilt; there is no full 360° horizon lock
- −The module alone runs about 90 minutes — the 200-minute figure needs the dock attached
- −Magnetic pendant mounting is not something to trust at speed without the safety cord
- −The dock is splash-resistant only, so the screen cannot come swimming
- −Two pieces to charge, carry and keep track of, and the useful battery figure needs both
Insta360 GO Ultra
- +A sensor this size in a 53 g body is genuinely without precedent
- +Magnetic pendant wearing gives angles no mounted camera can reach
- +The Action Pod preview means framing is not guesswork, unlike GoPro's Mini
- +200 minutes with the pod attached is a real all-day figure
- −$449 — more than a GoPro Hero 13 Black, which out-specs it almost everywhere
- −The Action Pod is not waterproof, so the screen has to stay out of the water
- −4K caps at 60 fps; there is no 4K120 as on the DJI Osmo Nano
- −No internal storage, unlike the Nano's 64 GB or 128 GB
- −Insta360 publishes no battery capacity for the module
