DJI is officially bringing its latest action camera to the global market. The new Osmo Action 6 is finally arriving outside of China, bringing various improvements like a larger image sensor, variable refresh rate, and much more. So here’s everything you need to know.

DJI Osmo Action 6 Goes Global

To recall, the popular drone maker had officially announced the new DJI Osmo Action 6 in China earlier this month. Now, the action camera is rolling out in more regions just a week later. This model features a dual display setup with a 1.46-inch OLED screen on the front and a 2.5-inch OLED display on the back, with both panels offering up to 800 nits of brightness. One of its biggest upgrades is the larger 1/1.1-inch image sensor that has a 155-degree field of view.

The Osmo Action 6 also has a variable aperture that ranges from f/2.0 to f/4.0. Users can capture 4K videos at 60fps, and there is also a 4K/120fps option for slow motion capture. For still photos, the camera can capture images in a resolution of up to 38MP. On a single full charge, DJI promises up to 4 hours of battery life thanks to its 1,950mAh battery pack (7.5Wh).

Other notable features include OsmoAudio Direct Microphone connection, 50GB of built-in storage, cold resistant body, and a waterproof design up to 20 meters. The DJI Osmo Action 6 has been announced in the UK via the brand’s official website and Amazon UK.

It is available in two options, with a starting price tag of £329 for the Standard Combo, which includes the action camera, Osmo Action Extreme battery plus, Osmo Dual-Direction quick-release adapter mount, Osmo Action Curved Adhesive base, Osmo locking screw, USB-C to USB-C PD cable, and Osmo Action Anti-Slip pad.

Meanwhile, the Adventure combo is listed for £415 and addstwo additional Osmo Action Extreme Battery Plus, one additional Osmo Dual-Direction Quick-Release Adapter Mount, one additional Osmo Locking Screw, Osmo Multifunctional Battery Case 3, and Osmo 1.5m Extension Rod over the Standard combo.

The post DJI Osmo Action 6 Launches Globally with Bigger 1/1.1-inch Sensor & Waterproof Design appeared first on Gizmochina.

The upcoming Osmo Action 6 has leaked from a couple of reliable corners online, and the early peek shows a camera that looks familiar at first glance — until you notice the front. The lens housing is huge, and there’s a good reason for that.

Two major leaks dropped almost back-to-back. The New Camera shared what seems to be the Action 6 shell sitting next to the Action 5 Pro, and XdronesStudio went further, posting a full retail box along with what appears to be a production unit. Put together, the leaks paint a pretty clear picture of where DJI is heading.

The camera itself doesn’t grow much in size, which is good news for people who already have mounts or cages. But the redesign up front hints at the headline feature: a variable-aperture lens. DJI is reportedly letting users switch between f/2.0 and f/4.0, which opens up a lot of flexibility. You get a brighter image and nicer background separation at f/2.0, and when the sun is blazing, f/4.0 helps keep everything sharp without slapping on ND filters every five minutes.

The sensor is getting a bump too — up from 1/1.3-inch to 1/1.1-inch. It’s not a gigantic jump, but it’s enough to squeeze out cleaner footage, especially in low light, where the older models struggled a bit.

Despite the bigger lens module, the shell is more or less the same as the Action 5 Pro. Early pricing leaks suggest it’ll land at around £329 in the UK, €379 in Europe, and somewhere near $379 in the US, so a mild price increase but nothing wild.

GoPro’s Hero 13 Black still has its ecosystem advantage, but if these leaks hold up, DJI’s giving users something GoPro hasn’t touched: actual optical control. For action-cam shooters who bounce between bright outdoors and sketchy indoor light, that alone could make the Action 6 worth a serious look when it launches later this month.

DJI’s product calendar has been unusually busy this quarter, and it looks like the company isn’t slowing down. Fresh rumours now point to a confirmed global launch date for its next action camera — and if the specs hold up, it could be DJI’s biggest imaging upgrade yet.

According to a new report from The New Camera, DJI is planning to unveil the Osmo Action 6 on November 19, placing it just days after the China launch of the DJI Neo 2 drone. The source cites an email allegedly sent to YouTuber PhotoRabz by a DJI “brand insider,” outlining a clear November timeline after what was supposedly an earlier October target. No screenshots or documents have been published, so the claim isn’t fully verifiable — but it does line up with DJI’s recent global rollout pattern.

This comes as DJI continues expanding beyond cameras and drones. The company just launched its first Romo-series robot vacuum internationally, and the Osmo Mobile 8 is expected to move beyond China soon. With multiple product lines in motion, a late-November slot for the Osmo Action 6 doesn’t seem far-fetched.

If the leaks are accurate, the Osmo Action 6 could deliver the most meaningful imaging jump since DJI introduced the Osmo Action 4. The new model is expected to feature a 1/1.1-inch CMOS sensor — larger than both the Action 4 and the Action 5 Pro (currently $349 on Amazon). Even more interesting is a rumored variable aperture system (f/2.0 to f/4.0), a rare feature in the action cam space, potentially giving users much finer control over exposure in bright outdoor scenes or low-light environments.

Video capabilities may also take a leap, with support for 8K recording at 30 fps, all while keeping the starting price at a competitive $329.

If DJI sticks to its usual playbook, an official teaser should drop soon, confirming whether this round of leaks is on target. For now, all signs suggest the Osmo Action 6 could be a major upgrade — and DJI’s next big launch is just around the corner.

The post DJI Osmo Action 6 tipped to launch globally on November 19 with a variable aperture system appeared first on Gizmochina.

Fresh high-resolution leaks of the upcoming Osmo Action 6 have surfaced online, revealing what looks like a polished and production-ready design — and possibly one of the biggest upgrades in the action camera space this year.

The latest images, shared by well-known leaker Igor Bogdanov, show a compact, rugged camera body that closely resembles the Osmo Action 5 Pro, complete with dual screens on the front and back. However, the details tell a different story. The lens housing looks noticeably larger, hinting at a serious sensor upgrade, and the edges have been slightly refined for better grip and one-handed operation.

According to the leaked images, the new model features a 1/1.1-inch CMOS sensor, a step up from the 1/1.3-inch chip used in the previous generation. That could mean much better low-light performance and more dynamic range — two areas where action cameras traditionally struggle. The lens still offers a 155° ultra-wide field of view, but rumors suggest a new variable aperture (f/2.0–f/4.0) for improved clarity across lighting conditions — something never before seen in an action cam.

DJI is also said to be giving battery life a serious boost. A new 1,950mAh cell could reportedly last up to four hours of 4K recording, almost double what the Action 5 Pro managed. Other expected upgrades include 8K video at 30fps, RockSteady 4.0 stabilization, 10-bit color, and improved connectivity with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 for faster syncing and live streaming.

Visually, the Action 6 looks sleeker and lighter, possibly trimming a few grams while maintaining its IP68 water resistance and 16-meter dive rating. Early listings spotted on retailer databases hint at a starting price around $329, which would actually undercut the Action 5 Pro.

DJI hasn’t made anything official yet, but multiple sources, including The New Camera, suggest that the Osmo Action 6 could launch before November 10, with pre-orders possibly going live in late October.

If the leaks are accurate, DJI might be about to deliver the most capable and practical action camera yet — one that doesn’t just keep up with GoPro, but might finally beat it at its own game.
