DJI mounted twelve Osmo Action 6 action cameras onto LandSpace's Zhuque-3 reusable rocket to capture POV footage of China's first successful land-based orbital launch and recovery. The cameras survived the extreme heat of 500C during the rocket's return to Earth, recording the entire journey in one unedited nine-minute video. The footage, showcasing the rocket's entire journey, has garnered over 750,000 views and 2,000 comments on DJI's global YouTube channel, with viewers praising the immersive visuals and the audio of the valves and actuators through the hull.
The Osmo Action 6 is a consumer-grade camera, priced from $425 / £329 / AU$669, capable of recording 4K video up to 120fps and 13.5EV dynamic range, even in extreme conditions. The project featured additional coverage from a Mavic 4 Pro drone and DJI's upcoming Osmo 360 II for ground-level shots, demonstrating the versatility of DJI's action cameras in various scenarios.
