Well, would you look at that, Christmas (or your seasonal holiday of choice) has come early as DJI is rolling out a new firmware update that should make all Osmo Action 6 owners (or interested parties) quite happy.
With this new firmware update (version v01.02.052), the DJI Osmo Action 6 will now be able to record 8K UHD video at up to 30fps. A major boost that could change the appeal of this already popular action camera to make it even more enticing over its action cam competition.
The DJI Osmo Action 6 will also get the ability to upload footage wirelessly to cloud or NAS storage options, as well as some new button customizations, focus perks, and film-style tone presets.

So, the biggest news here is the addition of 8K video recording. This is a huge boost that should help the Osmo Action 6 stand out against its GoPro and Insta360 action camera competition.
