The action camera war is heating up again, and DJI isn’t pulling any punches. Just hours after the company officially unveiled its November launch event schedule, detailed pricing for the highly anticipated DJI Osmo Action 6 has surfaced online, giving us our clearest picture yet of what to expect.
The leak comes from the prolific and often accurate billbil-kun, who has a stellar track record for revealing tech product details ahead of time. This new information gives action sports enthusiasts and content creators a solid idea of what they’ll need to budget for DJI's next-generation rugged camera.
A November Double-Feature from DJI
Earlier today, DJI shared details for what will become its second launch event of November. While the company is preparing to release the Osmo Mobile 8 smartphone gimbal tomorrow outside China, the Osmo Action 6 will be less than two weeks behind, with a full debut expected on November 18.
This rapid-fire release strategy highlights DJI's ambition to dominate the creator tools market on multiple fronts, from smartphone stabilization to professional-grade action footage.
Leaked Pricing: Two Bundles to Choose From
According to a detailed report published on Dealabs, DJI hopes to offer the Osmo Action 6 in two distinct bundles, mirroring the strategy used for previous models.
The first is said to be a Standard Bundle Combo, which historically includes the action camera itself, a removable battery, a protective frame, lens protectors, and various adapters for mounting the camera to helmets, handlebars, and other surfaces.
The second is an Adventure Combo, which typically builds upon the standard package with additional, more niche accessories designed for specific sports and use cases.
So, what will these bundles cost? According to the leak, the pricing in key markets will be as follows:
- Standard Bundle: £329 in the UK and €379 in the Eurozone.
- Adventure Combo: £419 in the UK and €479 in the Eurozone.
Notably, this pricing would see the Osmo Action 6 launch at the same price point as its predecessor in these regions, a move that will be welcomed by consumers facing rising costs elsewhere.

What About US Pricing?
For American shoppers, the picture is slightly less clear, but there's a potential sting. Billbil-kun clarifies that the US pricing information they have received is not yet final. However, the leak suggests that the US market may be subject to across-the-board price increases of around $30.
If this holds true, we could see the DJI Osmo Action 6 Standard Bundle starting at $379 in the United States, with the Adventure Combo rising to $479.
This potential price hike, while not confirmed, aligns with broader industry trends and could position the Osmo Action 6 slightly closer to its main rival, the GoPro Hero 12 Black, which currently retails for $399.

The Bottom Line: A Direct Challenge to GoPro
With the official reveal set for November 18, all eyes will be on the final specifications DJI has packed into the Osmo Action 6. The leaked pricing suggests a aggressive, competitive strategy, especially in European markets. By holding the line on pricing abroad and potentially implementing only a modest increase in the US, DJI is poised to directly challenge GoPro's dominance once again.
