Unannounced physical change to the Osmo Action

[ff22]

Apparently, DJI has made at least one alteration of the existing Action model. Enlarging the holes along the side opposite the usb port door.

" I've verified this situation to our designated department and found out that we indeed improve and the hole has been increased for underwater purposes."

The thread can be found here with a photo comparing the two versions:

My OA 2nd gen.?

I noticed this diversity on my new second OA, did they update the cam chassis?

If I buy a OA how can I be sure I get the updated model, any idea/suggestion?

Find a serial number of the update and make sure that the one you are buying has a higher serial number?

Apparently, the date is on the box and June is the new batch. But you'd have to see them in a store.

I caved and got one after my hero 6 **** itself 3 days out from the end of warranty. Thought I would be without an under water camera for most of August, when the kids are off from school. So I got the Osmo action. CRy cry cry, but to gopros credit I had a new replacement in less than a week. Shipped to singapore and back.

Luckily mine is the 2nd gen OA.
