In the whirlwind of leaks surrounding DJI's mid-2025 product roadmap, one name appeared with a flash of excitement, only to vanish into the shadows: the DJI Osmo Nano. While the upcoming DJI Mic 3 and Osmo 360 have dominated headlines with detailed spec sheets and leaked images, the Osmo Nano remains an intriguing mystery, a phantom product whose launch has been delayed indefinitely.
So, what exactly is (or was) the DJI Osmo Nano? Based on the information shared by leakers like Jasper Ellens, we can piece together a profile of this elusive camera.
The Quasi-Successor to the DJI Action 2
The key description for the Osmo Nano is that it was positioned as a "quasi-DJI Action 2 successor." This is a significant detail. The DJI Action 2 was beloved for its unique, modular, and incredibly compact cube-like design. It was a departure from the traditional action camera form factor, prioritizing minimalism and versatility.
By calling the Osmo Nano a successor, it’s implied that it would carry on this legacy of being an ultra-compact, perhaps modular, camera designed for quick, discreet shots. The "Nano" name itself strongly suggests a focus on a minimal footprint, potentially making it DJI's smallest and most wearable camera to date—a direct competitor to something like the Insta360 Go series.
A Confident Launch Plan... That Fell Apart
According to the leaked roadmap from early July 2025, DJI had a rapid-fire release schedule planned for four major products:
-
July 31: DJI Osmo 360 (Already Released)
-
Pending:
- DJI Osmo Nano
- Mini 5 Pro
- DJI Mic 3
This placed the Osmo Nano squarely in the middle of a massive product blitz. However, this entire schedule was upended. The leaker's later updates indicated that the Osmo 360 and Mic 3 launches would be consolidated into a single July 29 event.
Crucially, the Osmo Nano was completely removed from this plan.
Delayed "Until at Least August"
The latest information provided in the articles states that the Osmo Nano's release has been postponed "until at least August," with the leaker's wording suggesting that further delays were possible. No specific reason for the delay has been given.
This postponement pushes the Osmo Nano into a more crowded release window, potentially clashing with the rumored launch of the highly anticipated DJI Mini 5 Pro drone.
What Happened to the Osmo Nano?
The indefinite delay raises several questions. Was there a production issue? Did DJI feel it would cannibalize sales from the Osmo 360 or the existing Osmo Action series? Or was the product simply not ready for primetime?
For now, the DJI Osmo Nano is a tantalizing glimpse into DJI's potential product pipeline. It represents an ambition to create an even smaller, more versatile action camera. While the Mic 3 and Osmo 360 are tangible products we expect to see soon, the Osmo Nano has become a ghost in the machine—a rumored device that creators are now eagerly watching for any new signs of life.
