Orient the mount, not just the image

The Horizontal-Vertical Protective Frame supplies the side quick-release slots used for vertical mounting. This is a physical mounting provision; it is not evidence that every frame with a similar outline offers the same attachment.

The documented Extreme Battery capacity is 1770 mAh. Capacity is useful for identifying the battery specification, but it does not establish interchangeability with every other Osmo Action battery.

Match the entire audio connection

For a wired microphone, look for the documented digital USB-C support at 48 kHz/16-bit. DJI Mic is described with its receiver and USB-C adapter, so a transmitter alone is not the setup described here.

A USB-C-shaped connector is not enough to settle microphone compatibility. Match the signal format and the required receiver/adapter arrangement before buying or blaming the camera for missing audio.

Loop recording is not permanent storage

Recording needs a separately purchased UHS-I U3 microSD card. Loop recording then overwrites older footage at the selected interval. If a clip needs to survive, do not assume loop mode will preserve it merely because the card is still installed.
