It’s well-known now that DJI is gearing up for the release of the Osmo Action 6, its next compact action camera. Rumors and leaks have hinted at a launch in late October or early November, although these speculations were questioned as October came to an end. Recently, credible sources have started to reveal that DJI might be slightly reducing its combo packages for the upcoming Osmo Action 6.
Accessory Kits for the New Model
Igor Bogdanov has shared that the DJI Osmo Action 6 will be available with at least two accessory kits — the Adventure Combo and the Standard Combo, which have been staples in DJI’s offerings. However, recent leaked images of these kits suggest some changes, not just to the combos but to the Osmo Action 6 itself.
Missing Elements in the Combo Kits
One major change in the Osmo Action 6’s combo kits is the absence of a protective cover for the small action cameras. Previous comparisons between the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro and the Action 6 show a significant difference in size, with the Osmo 6 being noticeably larger. DJI might have chosen to exclude the case from the standard accessory kits, as adding it could make the already compact camera feel bulky. Alternatively, this omission could be due to cost constraints imposed by tariffs.
The Adventure Combo is expected to include:
On the other hand, the Standard Combo will come with:
Possible Early Unboxing Insights
Interestingly, an early unboxing of the Osmo Action 6 indicates that the new camera might actually come with a protective cover after all. However, no confirmation was provided with this unboxing, so it remains uncertain whether this was just an optional accessory included in the package.
As of now, the prices for the Adventure and Standard combos have not been officially announced, but the existing Osmo Action 5 Pro is priced at $499 for the Adventure Combo on Amazon.
In addition, leaks from Mauro Tandoi, which compare the Action 5 Pro and Action 6 side by side, highlight the actual size difference between the two models. It appears that older lens covers and filters won’t fit the new Osmo Action 6, likely due to its variable aperture and the larger 1/1.1-inch sensor featured in the new camera.
