The plot thickens around DJI's upcoming flagship action camera. After a whirlwind of rumors pointing to a late fall release for the Osmo Action 6, new leaks are painting a clearer, and somewhat surprising, picture of what to expect. While we're still waiting on an official announcement from DJI, reputable sources are now revealing key details about the camera's design, accessory compatibility, and the bundles it will ship in.
The biggest takeaways? The Action 6 appears to be significantly larger than its predecessor, rendering old accessories obsolete, and DJI might be rethinking what gets included in its popular combo packages.
A Shift in Strategy: Osmo Action 6 Combo Kits Leaked
According to well-known leaker Igor Bogdanov, the DJI Osmo Action 6 will launch with at least two familiar accessory bundles: the Adventure Combo and the Standard Combo. However, the devil is in the details. Leaked images of these kits suggest a notable change in what's included, hinting at a potential shift in strategy for the entire Action 6 ecosystem.
The most conspicuous omission? A protective case. For a device built for rugged environments, this is a significant departure from the norm. Why would DJI leave out such a fundamental item?
One theory stems from the Action 6's rumored larger size. If the camera is already bulkier, adding a case might make it feel unwieldy. Alternatively, this could be a cost-cutting measure to maintain competitive pricing in the face of rising tariffs or component costs.
So, what do you get? Based on the leaks, the contents break down as follows:
The Adventure Combo will reportedly include:
- 3× 1950 mAh Extreme Plus batteries
- 1× 1.5 m extension rod
- 1× Multifunctional Battery Case 2
- 2× Mini Quick-Release Adapter Mount
- 1× Curved Adhesive Base
- 2× Osmo Locking Screw
- 1× Anti-Slip Pad kit
- 1× USB Type-C-to-C cable
The Standard Combo is more minimalist, featuring:
- 1× 1950 mAh Extreme Plus battery
- 1× Mini Quick-Release Adapter Mount
- 1× Curved Adhesive Base
- 1× Osmo Locking Screw
However, in a confusing twist, a separate early unboxing seems to show a protective cover included in the box. This could mean the cover is a standard item not part of the combo, or that the leaker simply purchased it separately. For now, its status remains a mystery.
Size and Sensor: A Generational Leap Confirmed
The most concrete evidence for the Action 6's new design comes from leaker Mauro Tandoi, who shared a side-by-side comparison with the current Osmo Action 5 Pro. The difference is striking—the Action 6 is visibly larger in all dimensions.
This size increase isn't just for show. It likely houses the new, larger 1/1.1-inch sensor and a variable aperture system, which would be a first for a mainstream action camera and a major advantage over competitors like GoPro. The downside? This redesign comes with a cost for existing DJI users.
Tandoi confirms that old lens covers and ND filters from the Action 5 Pro will not be compatible with the new Osmo Action 6. This means early adopters will need to invest in a new ecosystem of accessories, a crucial point for any content creator planning an upgrade.
Pricing and Availability
Official pricing for the DJI Osmo Action 6 and its combos remains under wraps. For reference, the current Osmo Action 5 Pro Adventure Combo is listed for $499 on Amazon. It's reasonable to expect the Action 6 to be in a similar, if not slightly higher, price bracket given its speculated sensor and aperture upgrades.

As for the release date, the recent flurry of credible leaks suggests an official announcement from DJI could be just around the corner. While the initial October/November window may have passed, all signs point to the Osmo Action 6 being one of the most significant—and physically distinct—action camera releases of the year.
