What actually makes a good cycling action camera?

Action cameras have come quite some way in the last decade, and the DJI Osmo Action 4 is one of the most feature-packed you can buy at a reasonable priceIt’s safe to say that action cameras have come rather a long way in the last decade or so. Whether you want to strap one to a car, a plane, a small child or your bike, you can now get some quality 4K footage from something about the size of... well, this., and regularly use for capturing on-bike footage in our videos.

The biggest difference between the Osmo Action 4 and its predecessor is the CMOS sensor inside. It’s now 90% larger at 1/1.3 inches, but despite the larger sensor, the camera is still compact and weighs 6% less than the third generation.The sensor is also paired with new low-light image enhancements, so when the light gets sparse, the larger sensor gathers more of it and consequently produces nicer, sharper, less grainy and less noisy images.

The Rock Steady stabilisation is very impressive too. The UK roads are, erm, not the best... but thankfully they’re not going to ruin the footage, because the camera is sorting it all out, even when you hit bumps and potholes at high speeds.Everyone’s using magnets for all the cool stuff these days, and DJI is no exception.

Top of the list for adrenaline junkies is the Bluetooth GPS Remote Control. This device straps to your wrist or handlebar, and not only starts/stops the recording if the camera's out of reach, but it adds GPS data 10 times per second.
