While DJI hasn’t officially confirmed any details, recent leaks, regulatory filings, and historical release patterns give us a strong indication of what to expect — and when.
DJI has released a new action camera nearly every year:
If this cycle continues, the DJI Osmo Action 6 is expected between August and October 2025. However, recent FCC filings and regulatory approvals suggest a mid-2025 release — possibly as early as June.

Leaked images suggest the Osmo Action 6 will maintain a familiar rugged design with minor refinements for ergonomics. It’s expected to stay compatible with GoPro-style mounts — perfect for Seavu’s Universal Mount and other accessories.
Waterproofing will likely remain at 10m natively and over 60m with a case, making it an ideal match for Seavu camera kits.
Based on current DJI trends, the Osmo Action 6 will likely be compatible with the following Seavu kits:
We’ll confirm compatibility once released. Check our Camera Compatibility Guide for updates as they become available.
If the leaks are accurate, the DJI Osmo Action 6 could be a major step forward in action camera technology — especially for those who need reliable livestreaming, better low-light performance, and enhanced app connectivity. With dual battery options, faster performance, and professional video output, it’s shaping up to be DJI’s strongest GoPro rival yet.
Expected Release: June–October 2025
Rumoured Highlights: Larger sensor, DisplayPort out, dual batteries, faster connectivity
Best Use Cases: Livestreaming with Seavu, underwater filming, research, and charter inspections
The action camera world is buzzing as we get closer to the launch of the DJI Osmo Action 6. Following the success of the Action 5 Pro, DJI looks set to lift the bar again with better sensors, stronger connectivity and longer run time. At the same time, GoPro is preparing the HERO14, so 2025 could be the most competitive year yet. Below is everything we know so far about the DJI Osmo Action 6, including its rumoured features, release date and how it might compare to GoPro’s next flagship.
Most reliable chatter points to a late-2025 launch window, with August to October the most likely timing. DJI has a habit of lining up major announcements around September. Expect teaser campaigns and firmer details in the lead-up to launch.

The most talked-about upgrade is a move to a 1-inch CMOS sensor, up from the 1/1.3-inch sensor in the Action 5 Pro. If true, that means noticeably better low-light performance, wider dynamic range and cleaner detail — all helpful for underwater filming at dawn, dusk or in challenging conditions.

How they are shaping up based on current rumours:
Official pricing is not confirmed. Given the Action 5 Pro’s current street price (roughly AU$600–770 depending on bundle), expect the DJI Osmo Action 6 to arrive somewhere around AU$800–1,100 depending on combo packs and local availability. It is also worth keeping an eye on discounts for existing models once announcements drop.
If you are planning a live underwater viewing or coaching setup, Seavu kits are designed to work with leading action cameras. Check out the Seavu Seeker Marine Kit for phone and tablet viewing and the Explorer Adventure Kit for longer cable runs and flexible mounting. We will update camera compatibility pages as soon as DJI confirms final specs for the DJI Osmo Action 6.
If you want the latest sensor performance, faster connectivity and cutting-edge video modes, waiting makes sense. If you need a capable camera today, the Action 5 Pro and GoPro HERO13 are still excellent and may see sharper pricing as new releases roll in. In short: buy now if you have an immediate project, or hold if low-light quality and next-gen specs will materially improve your work.
The DJI Osmo Action 6 is shaping up to be one of the most significant action camera releases in years. If even half of the rumours land, DJI will put real pressure on GoPro’s HERO14. For creators, that means more choice and better tech at launch. We will keep this page updated as official specs and dates drop.
