DJI Osmo Action GPS Bluetooth Remote Controller Overview
The DJI Osmo Action GPS Bluetooth Remote Controller (model CP.OS.00000281.01) is a compact, wearable accessory launched in August 2023 for the Osmo Action series, enabling hands-free remote control and GPS data logging during action footage. It connects via Bluetooth 5.0 to the camera, allowing wrist or handlebar mounting for quick start/stop recording, while its built-in GPS captures speed, altitude, and route data—integrating seamlessly into videos via the DJI Mimo app for dynamic overlays (e.g., maps or metrics). Ideal for cyclists, motorcyclists, or vloggers, it supports single- or multi-camera modes (up to 16 cameras). As of November 15, 2025, it’s fully compatible with newer models like the Action 5 Pro via firmware, making it a versatile upgrade for immersive POV shots. Available on DJI’s site, Amazon, and B&H, it’s praised for simplicity but noted for occasional pairing hiccups.
