Colors, protection, and “handability” are not an action camera’s strongest suits. In other words, it has nothing that will give it any street cred. But if you own a DJI Osmo Action 6, Telesin has a kit that will turn it into a proper camera for street photography.
I don’t know why anyone who buys an action cam would want to turn it into a street camera, but I am guessing the strong specs and the action camera market’s first variable aperture lens make it a camera-worthy option. In a way, the action camera will be fully utilized not just during traditional action shots, but also for street action.
Enter the Telesin StreetGrip Kit for Osmo Action 6, which adds serious street cred to your Osmo Action 6. This particular version, dubbed the Golden Hour Edition, has a limited run worldwide. It is so named because it draws inspiration from the Golden Hour—the period just after sunrise or before sunset when the sunlight is soft, warm, and ideal for photography—in Provence, a region in southern France known for its lavender fields, vineyards, and Mediterranean light. This explains the yellow-gold and purple colorway that brings freshness to the monotonous black of an action camera.
The kit includes a custom-fit metal cage and ergonomic side grip for the DJI Osmo Action 6, making street vlogs and city footage more stable, protected, and easier to control. The grip features a seesaw shutter and a spare TF card slot to keep long street sessions covered. It boasts aviation-grade aluminum construction with quick-release access. In addition, the cage includes a cold shoe interface and a 1/4-inch thread for attaching a light or mounting on a tripod.
It is one of the coolest accessories you can get for your Osmo Action 6, IMHO. The colorway alone had me at hello. I am serious. If you are sold too, you can pick up the Telesin StreetGrip Kit for Osmo Action 6 from telesinshop.com for US$119.99.
