SMALLRIG Handle Grip Kit for DJI Osmo Action 6 with Metal Cage, Street Photography Grip (6037)
Quick take
The SMALLRIG 6037 kit adds a metal street photography handle, cage, and cold-shoe shutter button to the DJI Osmo Action 6, making handheld framing steadier and more “camera-like.” It is best for street shooters who want accessory mounting and a more secure grip, but it is not a water-resistant protection solution, and some users note that certain tripod-release layouts can feel harder to open.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Designed for DJI Osmo Action 6, with a handle plus metal cage that fits without noticeable looseness.
- Cold shoe shutter adapter gives a physical trigger mounted on the handle for easier street shooting.
- 1/4-20 anti-twist mounting hole supports tripod or extension pole setups for steadier angles.
- Ergonomic thumb notch and soft rubber grip help reduce fatigue during longer handheld sessions.
Cons
- Not water resistant, so it should not be treated as waterproof protection.
- Tripod-release access can feel restricted depending on how the plate or mount ends up in the way.
What buyers think
Buyer feedback on this kit is strongly centered on build quality and fit. Multiple comments highlight that the cage and grip feel robust, secure the camera well, and keep access practical, so you do not have to remove the camera every time you need to reach buttons or the screen. Users also mention the versatility of the mounting points for adding accessories, and several note that the shutter button lock helps prevent accidental activation. The review evidence is limited in scope, but the most consistent themes are stability, thoughtful design for real-world access, and overall “does the job” confidence.
Who this handle grip kit is best for
- Street and handheld shooters who want a steadier, grip-forward setup rather than holding the action camera by the body alone.
- Creators who add accessories and want quick expansion options through cold-shoe and mounting interfaces.
- Tripod or pole users who benefit from a 1/4-20 anti-twist mounting point for more controlled angles.
Who should skip it (or look for something else)
- If you need waterproof protection, this kit is not rated as water resistant, so you will likely still want a separate waterproof housing.
- If your workflow depends on frequent fast changes on a particular tripod head, consider whether the way you mount the plate might affect how easily you can release or adjust the setup.
Design and features, in plain English
Street-style handle plus metal cage
This kit’s core idea is turning the Osmo Action 6 into a more traditional handheld camera grip. The aluminum alloy cage can be used on its own or paired with the handle, and buyers specifically call out a secure, snug fit for the camera.
Cold-shoe shutter adapter for faster shooting
Instead of relying only on touch controls, the kit includes a shutter trigger adapter that mounts via cold shoe onto the handle. That gives you a more natural “press-to-capture” motion while you keep both hands in a stable position. Some buyers also mention the value of the shutter button lock in preventing accidental presses.
Accessory mounting and a 1/4-20 connection
The handle includes a 1/4-20 anti-twist locating hole for mounting to tripods or extension poles. The top cold shoe interface is reserved for accessories like lights or microphones, which is useful if you shoot with simple, lightweight add-ons.
Comfort and safety details
An ergonomic thumb notch is built in for thumb support, and the grip uses a soft rubber texture aimed at improving control in different conditions. A wrist strap is included to add drop prevention during on-the-go shooting. There is also a silicone lens cover in the kit for added everyday protection.
Pros and cons recap
- Best fit: DJI Osmo Action 6 owners who want a grip-forward, DSLR-like feel and convenient accessory options for street shooting.
- Main caveat: it is not a water-resistant system, and release access may be impacted by your tripod mounting arrangement.

61 in 1 Action Camera Accessories Kit for GoPro Hero
The Appolab 61 in 1 Action Camera Accessories Kit is a budget-friendly way to add more viewpoints to an action camera setup. It includes core mounts like a chest harness, handlebar bike mount, selfie stick, suction/car mount, and floating grip for water sports, with a focus on adjustable, all-purpose use. The main tradeoff is that the kit is largely plastic, so it may be best for casual-to-moderate adventure use rather than heavy, rough handling.
Insta360 2-in-1 Invisible Selfie Stick + Tripod, Aluminum Alloy Invisible
The Insta360 2-in-1 Invisible Selfie Stick + Tripod combines an extended selfie pole with a built-in tripod for hands-free framing. It is designed to disappear in 360 footage for “invisible” third-person shots, and its standard 1/4" mount makes it a practical accessory for compatible Insta360 action cameras.
Insta360 X5, Ace Pro 2 GPS Preview Remote with Built-in Mic
The Insta360 X5 and Ace Pro 2 GPS Preview Remote combines wrist/handheld style remote control with a built-in mic, live framing preview, and GPS telemetry for Insta360 workflows. It is a strong match for creators who want audio capture and shot orientation at a distance, but buyers should note that preview range and multi-camera pairing can involve a bit of extra setup.
Insta360 Floating Hand Grip, Buoyant Mount with Non-Slip Handle, Compatible Ace, Ace Pro, Ace Pro 2, GO 3, GO 3S, GO Ultra, X2, X3, X4, X5 Action Cameras, Black & Orange
The Insta360 Floating Hand Grip adds a buoyant, non-slip way to hold and stabilize compatible Insta360 action cameras while you’re in the water. It uses a 1/4" mount style connection for the Ace and X series, includes a wrist strap and mounting adapter, and is easy to spot thanks to its bright orange grip. The main tradeoff is that buoyancy is helpful, not infinite, so it is best for short, practical “grab and go” water moments rather than replacing a full dive system.
