High-quality and practical
Not my first cage for a portable mini camera from K&F, and I still enjoy the beautiful color scheme and the really excellent quality of materials and workmanship.
The cage is made of solid aluminum. All hinges and fasteners run smoothly, look high-quality and durable, and the anodized surfaces are seamless and very cleanly produced.
The fact that the control elements are in red is not only an aesthetic eye-catcher that I highly appreciate, but also makes them incredibly easy to use, as you can find them at a glance.
Of course, the sealed push buttons of the Osmo Action 6, which are already slightly spongy due to the design, are not exactly more precise due to the additional metal buttons. But for my taste, the trigger button in particular is haptically faster to find and operate more reliably than without a cage.
For all recording formats with the Osmo 6 that do not use the square format introduced with this camera, the additional mounting option on the portrait format side is a more than welcome addition. Not only can the now finally symmetrically arranged, magnetically oriented quick-release fastener be attached here, but there is also the classic 1/4 inch thread, which allows the cage to be attached to virtually any stand system available on the market.
It would have been nice to also have such a thread on the underside — which, of course, would have made the cage thicker and heavier.
It is gratifying that access to the USB-C port has been left free.
Even the quick battery change was thought of here. With a push button, which for once is not marked orange, the base plate can be unlocked on the right and then folded upwards, which allows access to the battery compartment. Cleverly done, albeit a bit complex.
All in all: A well-made and good-looking cage that gives this action camera strong additional protection on the sides and adds welcome portrait format options. The additional cold shoe on the top makes it easy to attach a small lamp or microphone and thus significantly expands the range of uses of the camera.
However, please note: The pleasantly compact and really lightweight camera becomes a lot bulkier and heavier.
Overall, highly recommended.
