"The DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro has been our top pick for the best action camera since it debuted. While I personally like the GoPro Hero 13's color science better, the Action 5 Pro is a better camera for most people thanks to its superior low light performance, lighter, more compact form factor, and better battery life. Aside from the overly contrasty look in the default color mode, two things always bothered me about the Action 5 Pro."
"This has always been the time of year that GoPro, Insta360, and DJI announce new cameras, but 2025 disappointed. GoPro and Insta360 both stuck with last year's models. Fortunately for gadget lovers, DJI came through with the Osmo Action 6, a small, but worthwhile update to DJI's flagship action camera. The new Osmo Action 6 can be hard to get your hands on in the United States, and its future (including support) is uncertain given the DJI ban."
The Osmo Action 6 features a larger sensor and a variable aperture lens that improve low-light performance, color rendering, and dynamic range. The camera adds 8K recording capability and a 2x zoom, though zoom cannot be activated while filming. The magnetic mount has been redesigned to be reversible for easier attachment. Availability in the United States is limited, and future support is uncertain due to regulatory constraints. The previous Action 5 Pro offered superior low-light performance, a lighter compact form factor, and better battery life compared with some competitors. The new model's sensor, aperture, and mounting upgrades make it a meaningful incremental update.
