The actual firmware for osmo action is quite old, and there are some things that can be changed for comming firmware upgrade:

- switch screen while recording
- option to show record time and battery status in front screen while recording
- manual mic volume adjustment (external mic)
- 3rd party remote support (feyutech gimbal for example)
- webcam support via USB-C

Thanks

Extremely unlikely, since Action 2 is already out. If history is any indication, they are done with Action 1 and it is what it is from now on...

I see Gopro 10 is 19% off here in Norway now because of black friday week. I consider buying it just because of 5K @ 60 fps and better flat-profile.

I am also planning to buy a Hero10 as I would not touch Action 2 with a barge pole. But I might wait until I get back home (Philippines); it won't be much of a use here. I will keep the Action 1 though, as long as it keeps working.

I ordered Gopro 10 yesterday, and will also keep my Osmo Action because I love it for what it is

Now I need to start selling some of my cameras, consider selling my Pocket 2 and use gimbal for it if/when needed

Congrats on the purchase If you don't need adjustable focus there won't be much reason to keep the pocket 2 I guess. Hero 10 has plenty of resolution, even after stabilization crop, so you might not need a gimbal at all...

Thanks mate

There is like 2 things with P2 that I doesn't like;
1: it's too light, make me shake when holding it and doing some moves away from body
2: it doesn't like rain

I also think that Gopro 10 would be more than enough. I just hope that I will like it since I didn't like Gopro 8.
