DJI Osmo Action 6

DJI may be staring at a regulatory dead end for new drones in the US — thanks to a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decision that could block new foreign-made drones from entering the American market — but that isn’t stopping the company from blowing minds in imaging technology.

DJI has officially taken the wraps off its next-gen action camera, the Osmo Action 6, marking a major global release only a week after its debut in China. But there’s a twist for US buyers: DJI says the Action 6 will not be sold through official US channels at launch, and there’s no estimated timeline for when that might change. That hasn’t stopped third-party resellers from scheduling their shipments, though!

DJI has released the Osmo Action 6 in China. DJI’s new flagship action camera comes with a long list of firsts and enough imaging upgrades to make even seasoned GoPro users raise an eyebrow. But here’s what US creators will really want to hear: DJI is openly teasing the product on its US website. That alone is a noticeable shift from the company’s recent pattern of launching new gear everywhere except the United States.
