The deal. The DJI Osmo Action 4 Essential Combo is down to $189 on Amazon, from its $239 list price — a $50 saving, or about 21% off. The price was reported by Gizmodo on 11 November 2026 and by Slickdeals on 8 November, sold by DJI Tech Hub via Amazon with free shipping. See how it compares in our flagship best action camera buying guide for 2026.
What you get. The Essential Combo includes the camera, one Extreme Battery, a Horizontal-Vertical Protective Frame, a Quick-Release Adapter Mount and the usual mounts. The camera itself shoots 4K/120fps with a 1/1.3-inch sensor, 10-bit and D-Log M colour, dual touchscreens, and is waterproof to 18 metres without a case (60 ft). DJI rates battery life at up to 160 minutes. It is a 2023 camera, superseded by the Action 5 Pro ($309–$419) and the Action 6 ($421–$496) — which is exactly why it is interesting at $189: the sensor and stabilisation that made it a flagship are now available at a budget price.
Should you wait for Black Friday? Black Friday is 27 November 2026, just over two weeks away, and a deeper cut is possible — but $189 is already $50 under list, and Amazon prices move daily: a deal live this morning can be gone by the evening. If you want an Action 4, this is a genuine saving, not a fake markdown on an inflated “was” price. Our rule from the deals hub: compare against the fair range, not the crossed-out price — and $189 sits below anything this combo has sold for at list in recent months.
