DJI Osmo Action 6.
True 1-inch sensor, first-of-its-kind adjustable aperture, 8K/30fps recording, and RockSteady 4.0 stabilization.
The Verdict.
Gavler Meta-Score
“The Osmo Action 6 is the first action camera that serious cinematographers will recognize as a legitimate production tool. The 1-inch sensor and adjustable aperture give you creative control that until now required full-size cinema cameras. Yes, it's expensive for an action camera, but the image quality is a generational leap. If you're building portable cinema rigs or want professional-grade optical control in compact form, this is the camera.”
