It would be so cool if they added more lenses to the Dji osmo action 4. For example telephoto, macro, anamorphic, fisheye etc. This camera is awesome. Please add lenses. Thanks!

Why do you need a lens for that? People already doing that.

Suspension shots. It won’t focus if you’re too close.

There are various macros for the Osmo Action, especially on AliExpress. You could prolly find an adapter to hook it up to the OA4.

(just search for osmo action macro lens and a bunch of them will come up)
@lutzmix is the master of accessories and adapters, LOL, I bet he has one.

You don't need a macro lens on OA4 to shoot macro pics and videos. It is easy to adjust the lens for the close distance focusing.

Someone should 3D print a MFT adapter so we could use cheap MFT lenses. But would not be great for action use, only for slow moving.

Yeah that’s true but it doesn’t work too well.

I think it would sell really well. It would be awesome if the did that.

With adjusted lens you can go as close as you like.

There is a wider angle lens on AliExpress at 112°. A trifle more barrel distortion at edges. Easy to correct in Final Cut with a free filter for distortion.
Also saw a macro lens and a fisheye listed. Did not get.
Haven't seen a telephoto. I think that's physically harder given the weight limits of the gimbal.

Thanks for your reply. I’ll look into that.

apologies for digging up this post, but I don't want to spam with the same question. I bought OA4 today because I saw many reviews about low light quality recording and I came across videos with macro lenses like PIXAERO or Ulanzi's 15x. I'm still happy with product but man, I'd be more happy to have possibility to upgrade it a little bit, especially since I would have a nice application specifically for macro lenses, making background blurry and focusing on details like water reflection or small moving elements.
I know that this camera is used specifically for dynamic shots, but why give up solutions from previous generations. Doesnt even have to be perfect, just the possibility to do that in some occasions, when I do not have full gear for single interesting shot.

I'll be waiting for updates with u guys

Thank you for your reply! I hope dji comes out with a macro so badly! I guess we all with have to be patient with this but hopefully it comes soon.

Not just you. This would be an awesome addition. It’s less about macro for me, (though that would be nice. I already hit the limit where I wanted to focus closer) and more about creative control with a selection of focal lengths. Also, I’d love some footage that doesn’t compress the center of the frame so much and distort the edges. I get it, that we may be going beyond the original intent of an action camera with this request, but it’s such a fantastic compact camera that I’d love to use it more generally and leave my dslr and mirrorless cameras home next time I go hiking. I can only do that if I have an option for a lens with a longer focal length.
