DJI’s Latest Osmo Action 6 8K Video Camera Drops to $308 During the AliExpress Back to School Sale
DJI's Osmo Action 6 8K action camera (Standard Combo) has been discounted to $308.23 on AliExpress via the seller FlyingFlightStore, using the code "USSR40" for an additional $40 off. This is well below the standard $439 price charged elsewhere, including on Amazon, making it a notable saving for buyers considering the recently released camera. IGN reports it confirmed with AliExpress that the seller is an authorised DJI reseller, and the item ships free from the US with no import fees.
Released late last year, the Osmo Action 6 is DJI's newest action camera, featuring a larger 1:1.1 square sensor capable of 8K recording at up to 30fps, a variable f/2.0–f/4.0 aperture, and 50GB of built-in storage. It retains DJI's RockSteady stabilisation and strong low-light performance from the previous Action 5 Pro, offers up to four hours of battery life recording 4K video, and is waterproof to 20 metres without a case. The Standard Combo bundle includes the camera, a 1,950mAh battery, a quick-release mount with locking screw, and a USB 3.1 PD cable.

Explained simply
DJI is a technology company known for drones and cameras, including its Osmo range of compact cameras for filming while moving. The Osmo Action 6 is designed for activities such as cycling, travel and water sports, where a small camera that can record steady footage is useful.
The camera records video in up to 8K resolution, and its square sensor can capture footage that may be cropped into different formats. It also has adjustable aperture, built-in storage and water resistance without an additional case. Action cameras are often compared on image quality, stabilisation, battery life and durability.
The Standard Combo is the basic camera bundle, with a battery, mount and cable. DJI sells its products through retailers as well as its own channels, so buyers may encounter different prices and bundles.
