DJI has been pushing the boundaries of action cameras since day one, and their new Osmo Action 6 is no exception. This isn’t just another incremental update; it’s packed with features we’ve never seen in an action cam before, letting you shoot in any light, from super dark to super bright.
The biggest game-changer here is the variable aperture, going from f/2.0 to f/4.0. This means you can double the light intake for darker scenes or stop down on bright days to get better depth and avoid blown-out highlights. Plus, there’s a wild Starburst mode that makes city lights pop with classic lens flares.
It also rocks a custom 1/1.1-inch square CMOS sensor, which is bigger than anything else out there. This translates to insane low-light performance and 13.5 stops of dynamic range. The square format is a genius move, too, letting you crop your 4K footage to any aspect ratio—horizontal, vertical, or social media-ready—without losing resolution.
And because it’s an action cam, it’s built like a tank. It’s waterproof down to 20m out of the box (60m with a case), handles extreme temps, and has a battery that lasts four hours and charges super fast. The Osmo Action 6 ($379) is available now. If you’re serious about capturing adventure, this is the camera you need.
