In this guide
The DJI Osmo Action 6 has landed at CEN — DJI's first action camera with a variable aperture, built around an all-new 1/1.1-inch square sensor and shooting 4K at up to 120fps. In stock as the Adventure Combo at £465.
A first for action cameras
The headline on the Osmo Action 6 is the variable aperture — the lens itself adapts to conditions rather than leaning entirely on software. Combined with the large square sensor, which crops natively to horizontal or vertical without quality loss, it's an action camera behaving much more like a proper camera.
Built for the rough stuff
This is the mount-it-anywhere half of DJI's camera line: helmets, handlebars, chest rigs and water, with the Adventure Combo adding the extended battery and mounting kit that turn a camera into a full day's setup. 4K 120fps means crashes, jumps and sends replay in proper slow motion.
Our take
The square sensor alone makes this the most flexible action camera we've stocked — shoot once, deliver to YouTube and vertical social from the same clip. It completes a strong DJI trio at CEN alongside the Osmo Pocket 4 and Mini 5 Pro drone; if you're not sure which suits your shooting, ask us.
Frequently asked questions
What does variable aperture mean on an action camera?
The lens can physically change how much light it lets in — wider for low light, narrower for bright scenes and greater depth control. It's a first for DJI's action line and a genuine step towards proper camera behaviour.
What's in the Adventure Combo?
The camera plus the extended battery and mounting accessories aimed at longer days out — the configuration most buyers end up wanting.
Osmo Action 6 or Osmo Pocket 4?
Action 6 for mounted, rugged, hands-free footage — helmets, bars, water. Pocket 4 for handheld, gimbal-smooth storytelling. Plenty of creators end up running both.
