Is the DJI Action 6 the ultimate MTB camera and a true GoPro killer? In this video, we put the DJI Action 6 battery life to the ultimate test with a full lap of the Cannock Chase MTB trails.
We tackle the complete red route, including Follow the Dog and The Monkey Trail all on a single charge. While the rest of the group—Mark, Richard, Dave, and Martin—are powered by E-bikes, I’m taking on the challenge on my analogue mountain bike.
In this video:
Trail Highlights: We ride iconic sections like Lower Cliff, Snap It, and Son of Chain Slapper.
Technical Descents: We take the black options on Tom, Dick, and Harry for some rocky, technical downhill mountain biking.
MTB Crash: Dave has a bit of a tumble—proof that knee pads are essential for UK MTB trails!
DJI Action 6 vs GoPro: Can one battery really last a full 20km+ trail session? I finished the entire route with 10% battery left, a feat that would usually take 3 or 4 GoPro batteries
* We also rode a full lap of the blue on the same battery (separate video to follow)

Looks a good day out. Knee pads and gloves have saved me a few times rather have ripped gloves than hands
i love natural trails too much to go. rather be out in country riding. but looks fun for get together.
A up Mark. Cannock chase is a great place . But this weekend I'm going to Danny Hart's downhill decend. That's in hamsterley forest. So don't panic you still hold the record 😂🤣 for those gap jumps.
strange seeing my local on here. You're right about the trails though. Def needs some TLC. Esp with the corrosion happening on the Monkey
If you fancy riding some of the off piste stuff away from the maddening crowd let me know. Happily show u around 👍🏻
i have dropped my gopro also. too many freezing problems, and dropped videos. switched to a DJI Action 4. not an issue. good ride in the muck still i see. Are trails are slow drying out now. this why i always wear my knee pads!
