The Osmo Action 4 came with a case or bracket, but I didn’t like it, so I had to pick up something to help keep the camera safe.
Case it Came With
The one that came with the Adventure Creator combo
This one has the following:
- Magnetic holder for the vertical camera
- Record button
- Quick switch button
And the things it doesn’t have
- Cold shoe
- Unable to plug in the DJI mic via the USB C
- Yes, that is true
It is also made of plastic.
It looks like a good case, but it was not what I was looking for.
Picked up
I picked up a case by Small Rig. Why this case? Well, here is what it has
- Magnetic mounts for both
- Vertical
- Horizontal mounting
- Removable door to gain access to the battery and SD card
- Cold Shoe holder
- Three holes to screw a tripod into
- DJI Mic can be plugged into the USB C port
- YEA
- Access to the buttons
- Metal case
Here is what it looks like
I picked this up on Amazon for $39.90, and now it is $39.99 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BN18RQL7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
Why
I wanted the following:
- Cold Shoe
- DJI Mic can connect via USB C
- Good protection
This one is a great case, and I like it. It was what I was looking for.
Thoughts
Question for DJI: why would they create a case without:
- A cold shoe
- The ability to hook a DJI Mic to the camera
The case is nice, and this is the type of case that DJI should have made and provided in the adventure creator combo.
I really like this case, and it works for what I need it for. I recommend that you pick it up. Way to step up to the game, Small Rig.
