Waiting on the DJI Action 7 — What I Think Comes Next After Living With the Action 6 Pro There’s a moment that keeps replaying in my head whenever I think about where action cameras are heading. I’m standing still after a long walk, chest mount still clipped on, breath settling, hands cold, and the DJI Action 6 Pro is quietly warm against my jacket.

Waiting on the Insta360 X6 — What I Think It’ll Be, and What I’m Hoping It Becomes There’s a certain kind of quiet that settles in when you know a new camera is coming, but it hasn’t arrived yet. Not impatience exactly—more like curiosity mixed with lived experience. 🎥💭 I feel it every time I pick up my current 360 camera and think, this already does so much… but I can feel the ceiling.
