Ah I see Well by the looks of it a new Osmo Pocket is on it's way, and in all honesty that excites me much much more than any "Osmo Action" news.

In my humble opinion cameras like OA (regardless of the brand) are built for one purpose and one purpose only : Recording otherwise impossible to record action shots These are not photo or video cameras; they were never intended to be. These are cameras with god awful lenses so that they can record everything (however distorted they might look) and insultingly primitive mechanics just so that they can survive the harsh situations they were designed for. Yes they utilize every software trick known to man; but at the end of the day, those gimmicks go only so far.

OA was among the best if not the best within the whole miserable bunch. I love having it and using it where it actually is required. But I would not expect anything more from it, or it's potential successor for that matter...

Well, that's just silly me

If I am not mistaken OA has an IMX377 sensor which came out in 2015... But my point is not about the sensor; it is more about what the camera is "not" designed for...

As long as I remember DJI’s product strategy is to bring out new product generations regularly, but at the same time only improving the apps for that specific new product. Once their app is stable you will have some minor bug fixings but rarely new features.  

This is a tactic for existing loyal users to keep buying the latest products. And I am one of those.

Also , often DJI products and apps are released with less features than officially announced in their press releases or website. That’s part of their culture and company DNA.

OSMO Action 2 should have:

backwards compatible lens covers so we can re-use or ND filters etc.
Use the same external mic adapter or just do a built in one.  If smart phones can make a waterproof 3.5mm jack, so can DJI
Wider FOV, bring it up to the same as GP 170 degrees
A remote control that can sync two or more cameras.
Make the Voice control more reliable and if it's already recording  don't stop when the "START RECORDING" command is received again.  If  it's already recording DO NOTHING.
