Just a heads up I was using the water proof case for just the 2nd time. Screwed the ring tight and had a desiccant strip in there. Water was shallow only about 1ft and guess what? It leaked and broke my Osmo Pocket.

DONT BUY THE WATER PROOF CASE. OF YOU WANT A WATER PROOF CAMERA BUY A GOPRO!!

I just had problems with my Mavic and now this honestly I don’t know what’s going on with DJI.

This might be a stupid question but if you fill it with water can you see the source of the leak?

Seems to be weeping from the threads irregardless of how tight I screw it on. It’s like it’s not properly lining up.

If the threads look rough You could try some silicon grease on the threads to seal them.  Other than that I don't know what to suggest.  Sounds like they need to use a stronger plastic or better gasket arrangement. Sorry to hear of your problems. I think you are the second person in as many weeks.

That has always been my thinking. Either a GoPro or Osmo Action. Personally, I would go with the latter.

Was purchased directly from DJI on (2019-12-26).  The Osmo Pocket was purchased last August from Apple.

I don't see any value in trying to get it fixed, it's going to be a complete replacement.
