Capturing your cycling adventures on one of the best action cameras is a great way to relive you’re epic rides – whether thats riding high on a European mountain pass or flying up the toughest climb of your weekly chaingang ride.
Right now, at Amazon, there’s a sizeable discount on the DJI Osmo Action 4 – which means you can grab this feature-packed action camera for just $199 – $90 off its list price of $289, which equates to a huge 31% saving.
It may not be the best-in-class action camera – the more expensive GoPro Hero13 Black has that crown sewn up, but for current price vs performance – the DJI Osmo Action 4 is a little powerhouse of an action camera.
This deal means the Osmo 4 is currently at one of its best prices, so for anyone in the market for an action camera, it’s tough to ignore.
The DJI Osmo 4 shares most of the same performance features as its more expensive rivals with 4K/120fps HDR footage, and the DJI HorizonSteady software that keeps things smooth and ultra-level for stunning video footage. You can also shoot still images in either JPEG or RAW, switch between a wide or standard field of view, control shutter speed and ISO, and adjust white balance.
Battery life is also good with up to 160 minutes of non-stop filming – on par with the GoPro Hero13 but that costs more. Class matching features also include three stabilization modes to provide steady footage and crystal-clear clarity. It also has best in class waterproofing – designed to withstand depths of up to 18 meters, but for cycling it means easy operation even with wet hands.
The DJI Osmo Action 4 comes with a battery and Quick-Release Adapter Mount.

✅ Buy if: You want an action camera that drops incredibly detailed footage at a reasonable price.
❌ Don’t buy if: You want high-quality still images, the video quality is outstanding, but the 10MP stills don’t quite cut it compared to rival cameras. The latest GoPro Hero13 has 27MP stills – but that comes at a cost.
