I’m considering upgrading from my old GoPro Hero 7 Black to an Osmo Action camera, most likely the Action 6.

One thing that matters to me: I’d prefer to keep additional accessories to a minimum. I’m not looking to build a huge ecosystem of batteries, mounts, cages, filters, etc. Ideally I want something that works great out of the box with only a few essentials.

A few questions for those who have made the switch:

• What accessories do you consider truly necessary for the Osmo Action series?
• Will my GoPro Hero 7 mounts/accessories work with the Action 6?
• I can currently get the Osmo Action 4 for about half the price of the Action 6. Is the Action 6 actually worth double the cost in real-world use?

For context, I mainly use action cameras for travel, hiking, casual outdoor filming, and occasional biking. Low-light performance and stabilization matter more to me than extreme sports features.

Would love to hear from people who’ve used both the Action 4 and Action 6, especially if you also came from an older GoPro generation.
