DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro Adventure Combo Action Camera 4K with 1 1 3 Sensor 12h Extended Battery

Returned a dud GoPro Hero13 Black and chose this as an alternative. Found this to be much better quality both in build and software/performance, and at a better price. I'd recommend DJI instead for anyone looking. Very easy to use, plenty of mount options, video and sound quality are great, and great waterproofing seals. Read more

This is a fantastic and amazing camera! It has a lot of different options in terms of filming, 1080 to 2k, all the way to 4k - all with two types of ratio, 16:9 or 3:4 I believe. Different options will yield different maximum duration of recording (and data size), but great that it comes with internal memory as well, something you barely see cameras do, if ever. I’ve tested out the image stabilization as well, and it’s quite smooth, a great factor if anyone wants to start vlogging which is a huge bonus. It’s different modes of usage, from regular photos, recording, hyperlapse, to timelapse. It’s small, compact, and it charges quick. You can see in the picture compared to a US quarter! This ting is tiny but packs a punch! And the battery is great so far because when you film, there’s also a display saving mode where the screen goes dim and only shows you the duration of capture so far. I do want to record long road trips down the line, so I may pick up some spare batteries eventually. The build quality is nice, sturdy, and waterproof, which is also something I want to take on my adventures when we travel abroad. This doesn’t come with a flip screen like the Ace Pro 2, but I prefer it this way because it’s another hardware that I have to be mindful of, constantly abusing the hinges. DJI decided to have a front facing display to remedy this and it’s great! You’re able to control and preview anything from either sides. If I HAD to nitpick - the downside of this one is the audio, which by all means isn’t bad and absolutely normal with all cameras. I’ve done my research and the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 has a shield for the audio to reduce noise which is a great perk. But comparing the two, for quality of recording and night time options, I went with the Action 5 Pro. I bought a shotgun mic (Movo X1 Minit) to attach to the camera so I can reduce the surrounding noise and get more audio coming in to the direction I’m facing. Overall extremely happy with the purchase. Can’t wait to use it on different occasions! Read more

Loads of features, smooth stabilization, Has built in storage, Pretty good battery life, Solid in low light, Its not going to be night vision but it records. Good camera overall. If you dont want to spend the extra money on the 5, the 4 is going to be fine. I was super concerned about storage so I went for the 5 because of the built in 49 or so gigs but with my 512GB SD card I can get like 19 hours of footage so its really not necessary to have I don't think, and if you put a 1TB SD card in, You're more than golden. Its not super heavy but still has some heft. Its really easy to use and setup, Its waterproof so if you get caught in the rain or it falls into a puddle its fine. And itll work with almost any microphone. Read more

Works amazing. Definitely better than my gopro. Battery lasts longer and hasnt overheated in the sun which my gopro does in the summer. Quality of video has been amazing Read more

DJI Osmo Action 5 is small enough to fit into the palm of my hand. Yet the sensor is 1/1.3" - which is almost equal to 1" sensors like some of the high-end cameras now-a-day. In short, the bigger the sensor the better the pictures and videos. It also performs much better in low light condition. The second up front screen is helpful for the selfie shots. DJI has the setting menus down to a science where it is so intuitive to use without the steep learning curve. One small complain is the power and the shoot buttons are really hard to press. Perhaps they are by design to keep out water. I wish the buttons could be a little more on the lighter side. Read more

Great camera for the price. Quality piece with good imagery for video and pictures and the sound is good. I have zero complaints. Love that I can put the dji mics with it to wear while I’m shooting video, recommend those if you are moving around with the camera on a tripod. Read more

I like the device, and its performance is lovely. I enjoy the fact there’s onboard storage so if you don’t have a card you can still use it right out of the box. The sound is good, though highly suggest getting the mic if you want good crip sound. As for battery life it really comes down to what you use with it. Put everything to max and you’re gunna eat the battery alive, but you still get a good 2-4 hours of recording and I say that’s very reasonable. Plus this set comes with the extra batteries, only thing is you really want to use a power brick to charge the pack, using a pc port will leave you changing for eternity it seems. My biggest gripe is the need to pair with the app before you can use it. Which I understand why it’s done but I don’t feel it should be necessary and honestly it’s very intrusive. Given that you can’t even get the app on the Google store anymore- it really is a bit of a barrier and just feels like a scam waiting to happen. Read more

One hell of a camera, blows GoPro out the water, the night mode is insane. Waterproof while riding never had problems. Super easy to use. Fits perfect on my helmet with the mounts provided. Check out my TikTok zx6.ryan to see the quality it produces. Read more
