DJI Action 5 is far better device. The differences I found: 1. Srtronger battery. 2. Not overheating (as GoPro) 3. Less expensive 4. 47 gB built in storage!! (No need for SD card!). 5. Hindsight recording (pre recording) feature does not shut off itself automatically after 15 minutes. 6. One can plug external source of power supply and still do recording (not with GoPro) 7. why does Hero needs magnetic mount hardware while it already has foldable finger mounts?? Just additional piece of hardware to worry about? Not a really improvement. (Unless they wanted to compete DJI? lol). 8. Absolutely better in low light recording. 9. 40MP photo mode 10. friendlier to use, (easier to connect to the app, to download the footages, photos) 11. Better accessories 12. Smaller size and less weight 13. More stable platform. 16:03. It's reliable (16:10 GoPro is notorious for freezing up, locking up, having corrupted footage, have to take battery out to restart it after freezes). _EDIT_ : It's not even for comparison. It's a dominance!

Hi Shawn, so far I'm loving my action 5 pro and glad I've made the change after 18 years of GoPro. One area GoPro does excell is in its range of mounts. DJI need to have more options. They also need to offer spares in general as it frustrates me that I can't buy the smaller magnetic mount that comes in the adventure combo separately.
@AirPhotographyАй бұрын
Thanks for sharing your experience. Yeah I always found it. Strange that they didn’t offer the smaller magnetic mount. Would be nice if they did add that as an option.

Agreed! I’m an amateur motovlogger and used GoPro Hero from 7 through 10. Eventually the reliability and audio issues with GoPro caused me so much frustration that I stopped filming for several months. I switched to DJI Action earlier this year for a motorcycle tour to Switzerland and Italy in Summer and the reliability of the DJI Action has rejuvenated my passion for motovlogging.

6:30 had to rewatch this multiple times where you just point it straight to the river and trees. Even if DJI is superior at night, I find GoPro footage to be a bit cleaner, more detailed and overall more pleasing to look at with its vibrant colour profile straight out of camera in a bright daylight. However, the choice is tough this year, seems like people are leaning more towards DJI or Ace Pro, but I think GoPro still has its strengths given the right lighting conditions.

A bigger sensor in the action 5 would of been a sale for me, but as someone who has the action 4 I'm happy with what I have, and i don't see enough in this release to make it worth the upgrade, which is a disappointment, because I really did want that bigger sensor, I'm really surprised they didn't do it, because that was going to be a definitive reason a lot of people bought or not, at least it was for me. The super night mode interests me, but it also seems less detailed then the action 4 (Loss of some textures.) Thanks for the video, i feel you did a good job showing the comparisons.

The GoPro has one major flaw, it’s a GoPro which means if you buy one you’re guaranteed software issues. GoPro only improves hardware, software problems have persisted since the 1st generation. GoPro doesn’t care about making reliable cameras. Out of the two the DJI should be chosen but if you can wait, wait for the Insta Ace Pro.

Night mode needs to push up the light so it pushes the iso so it adds noise so to reduce noise it smoothens the image so it becomes blurry pixelated its loosing rwsolituin and details but its overally instantly stabilised and ready to use. Otherwise use manual without IS (iso 800-3200) and stabilize post in gyroflow. Dont need to thank 🖐
