Design and Specifications

The DJI Osmo Action 3 which is a completely redesigned camera, audits back to the first variant of the Osmo Action. Its predecessor lacked the Osmo monitor and was called the DJI Action 2. It had a unique and interesting modular design. DJI has done and returned to the classic action camera styling of a small black rectangle.

The unique thing to notice about this camera is the dual touch screens without needing separate modular units. The front sports a 1.4-inch 360px X 360px screen and on the back is a 2.25-inch 640px X 360px display. Both of them are touch-enabled for simple and user-friendly camera controls when capturing selfies and shooting vlogs and also, and they use Gorilla Glass which is highly protective.

It also features a magnetic quick-release plate which is also newly designed with a positioning clip that would withstand even the worst of impacts and enables the user to connect to several different mounts with or without the case. The magnetic chip supports vertical mounting which allows easy footage making for social media.

The Camera uses three-mic stereo recording to separate the wind. If the user needs even more high-quality audio, it also tends to those needs by supporting DJI microphones through USB-C connections or any other microphones via a 3.5 mm to USB-C adapter.

Battery Life

The Action 2 was renowned for its bad battery life i.e only 60 minutes. It is good news for the users that DJI addressed and corrected this in this brand-new Osmo Action 3 having a 1770mAh “extreme battery” which provides 160 minutes of extended battery Life

Durability

The Action 2 model also had overheating problems and operational issues in temperatures below freezing. DJI has promised that it has fixed these issues in the Osmo Action 3. This camera is said to be able to record constantly at 4K/60p until the battery is fully drained without overheating.

Camera and Video features

The camera features a 1/1.7-inch CMOS sensor with 12 MP images. The maximum video resolution remains the same at 4K/120p. The lens provides a wide 155-degree view field or the equivalent of a 12.5 mm full-frame lens. You get the greatest image stabilization. “Rock Steady 3.0” minimizes the shake while shooting at the maximum video resolution.

However, “Horizon Steady” eliminates the shake and keeps the horizon level even with 360 degrees turns which is a perfect choice for surfers. It also has a “Horizon Balancing” option that helps correct tilt up to + 45/-45 degrees and smoothens the footage up to 4k/60p.

Pricing and Availability

The DJI’s Osmo Action is available to pre-order now and it will be unveiled on 9th October 2022. It is available in a Standard combo, priced at 329.00 USD which also includes a protective frame, lens protector, adapter mount, and other essential products like a battery and charging cable.

ISRO Looking To Build A Design For New Reusable Rocket For Global Market.

As we know that the expense of reaching into space is a major hindrance in space exploration and other space-related applications. So, a reusable rocket launched by ISRO would prove a great unanimous solution to attain low-cost, trustworthy, and on-demand space access.

India is allegedly forethinking about designing and building a brand-new reusable rocket for the global market, S Somanath, Division of Area Secretary and Indian Area Analysis Organisation in ISRO, announced through the Bangaluru Area Expo (BSX) 2022 on 5 September, Monday. The proximate launch automobile from the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) afterward the GSLV Mk III launch could be a reusable one and it is predictable that it will cut back on the expense of launching satellites. The area firm will allegedly work with the area businesses, startups, and New Space India Restricted for the development of the said reusable rocket.

During the seventh edition of Bengaluru Space Expo 2022 to support and encourage private space agencies, the chairman of the Indian research Space Organisation, S Somanath, declared his plans to design and develop a new reusable rocket according to a report by Press Trust of India (PTI), India’s primary news agency having reach as vast as Railways.

“…all of us want launches to be much cheaper than what we do today,”.

“So, the idea is the next rocket that we are going to build after GSLV Mk III should be a reusable rocket,” Somnath said.

“This is the idea and we are working on that idea. That idea cannot be ISRO’s alone. It has to be an industry’s idea. So, we will have to work with them in designing a new rocket, not only designing it, engineering it, manufacturing it and launching it as a commercial product and operating it in a commercial manner,” he added.

Currently, it costs ISRO about 10,000 USD which is approximately 7,97,800 INR, and 15,000 USD which is about 11,96,800 INR to position a one-kilogram payload into orbit. Somanath apparently said that they can cut it down to up to 5,000 USD (about 3,98,000 INR) and 1,000 USD (about 79,700 INR) per kg and that the one procedure to take action may be to construct the rocket reusable. He also specified that currently, the nation does not possess reusable expertise in the launch autos division.

Indian Space Research Organization has been involved in several different applied sciences together with the Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator, in order to have a retro-propulsion to land the rocket back on earth, he confirmed adding that by integrating these latest applied sciences, the area firm wants to be a member of palms with industry, startups and its commercial arm NSIL (New Space India Limited) to develop a latest reusable rocket.

“We would like to see such a rocket, a rocket which will be competitive-enough, a rocket that will be cost-conscious, production-friendly which will be built in India but operated globally for the services of the space sector. This should happen in the next few years so that we can retire all those operating launch vehicles (in India) at appropriate time,” he said.

“So, it’s a big shift from what we do today,” he pointed out. “I would like to see this (proposal) taking shape in the next few months.”

ISRO will be working on the Reusable launch vehicle technology demonstration program, also known as the RLVTD series of technology demonstration missions which will reportedly be the first step towards the building of a fully reusable vehicle. A winged Reusable launch rocket is confirmed to act as a flying test bed to evaluate several technologies.
