Although only launched a few months ago, the DJI Osmo Action has already become one of the most popular action cams on the market. And now DJI is adding to the functionality of its camera, with its innovative front LCD screen, with the launch of a pair of new optional accessories.
The DJI Waterproof Case allows you to take the Osmo Action down to depths of 60 meters, and is made from a high-strength glass. Without the housing, the camera on its own is waterproof down to 11m.
Heat dissipation grilles are said to prevent Osmo Action from overheating and fogging up when shooting underwater. It comes with a removable mounting plate and accompanying locking screw. The Case itself measures 23x13x55mm and weighs 92g.
The DJI Waterproof Case will cost £49 / $55.
Also now on sale, is a Dual 3.5mm/USB-C Adapter, which is made for the DJI Osmo Action by Cynova. This allows you to use an external microphone with the action camera, for improved sound recording. The adapter slots into the existing USB-C socket on the camera.
The Adapter will cost $39 / £39.
