DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro In-Depth Review (NOT SPONSORED!)

[@AadidevSooknananNXS]

Finally! A review on this camera that compares it to its predecessor that I can actually trust!

[@1sonjohn44]

If a company sends anything for free, the review is sponsored lol. A review is only "not sponsored" when the reviewer actually buys it with their own money.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Sponsored = Money. Unfortunately free action cameras don't pay my bills or provide for my family and I wouldn't throw away my credibility for a $350 camera. The nature of having Day 1 reviews means I get sent products early for testing... Pretty common. I declined payment as I wanted to be able to speak freely about this product. DJI didn't get to see my review early, they didn't have control over what I said, and I didn't ask for approvals or permission.

[@MarinusMakesStuff]

Yeah, this video is definitely sponsored, I understand the reviewers' perspective. But an opinion doesn't overrule a fact. Getting something for free = sponsored. I'll be waiting for unsponsored reviews. Day 1 reviews aren't worth it, it's all marketing and sales pitch talk anyway. Nothing personal against the maker of this video! But it's not the kind of content I like to see. All these reviews are the same anyways these days.

[@Diggin4LifeMetalDetecting]

@@ChaseTheSummitNot sponsored means you do not accept anything from a company. The camera is an equalization of a financial gain...SPONSORED DUDE 🙈

[@firstnamelastname5736]

@@Diggin4LifeMetalDetecting I think if he sends the camera back after testing (I don't know if that is the case), then it can be considered non-sponsored.

[@dubiouscreations]

@@ChaseTheSummit But if they don't like your review and decide to not send you a DJI Action 6 to do a Day 1 review, would that affect you paying your bills?

[@PIK2UNCOVERED]

I’m definitely upgrading to the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro. The low-light performance on the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro is truly outstanding! Thanks for the awesome review!

[@tacm1379]

I'm waiting for Action 5 Pro vs Ace Pro 2 video!👍

[@HooktOnCarolina]

Same

[@陈一峰-y1r]

me too

[@craigshandworld]

I have the ace pro and it is by a long shot not even close to a reliable action camera in action and all weather. It means nothing if it has 8k if your goal is action and nature and weather. Even most reviewers complained about the flip screen just being annoying. I bough it anyway and i can confirm its annoying and caused more problems than fixing problems when it came to being creative and filming. If you want a my blogger style camera its the one but i would stick for gopro and osmo action for everything else. I will be getting action 5 pro for sure.

[@100nakpvp2]

@@craigshandworld That's the point of waiting to see the reviews on the next gen... Maybe they listened to the feedback.

[@craigshandworld]

@@100nakpvp2 that would be a complete redesign in camera already. But also the huge selling here is how you can have the dji mic 2 work directly with it with high quality sound. They have their own build in receiver. Reviews already show the mic sounds bad on GoPro 13.

[@squinkys]

KZbin audio compression notwithstanding, the DJI had the best mic frequency response of the three cameras you compared when I was listening to this on my studio rig. Both other cameras suffered in the high end, and that's noticeable when it comes to the frequency ranges that our voices occupy.

[@vothry]

The low light performance makes this camera a no-brainer purchase, at least for this sales cycle.

[@luishsteuer1660]

How about compared to the ace pro though ?

[@ldll.S]

Ace pro is solid in my opinion ❤

[@RovePaths]

I don't need a camera like this but because of the review I now want one. Thanks Dave!

[@HooktOnCarolina]

Another cool feature for the action 5 is how quickly it will record from being powered off. It’s crazy fast. Less than a second and much faster than any other camera. I think that’s a great feature for saving battery but then seeing something cool happening that you need to record and don’t want to miss. I love quality of life features like that

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Yes! Oddly though if you let it sit for a while it takes longer to power on. It’s almost it has a “sleep mode” and a true off mode.

[@HooktOnCarolina]

@@ChaseTheSummit good to know. Thanks

[@Ng_kayak_fishing]

Not sure if I missed it but does the action 5 have voice command capabilities?

[@jiancepe]

What an upgrade! Feels like you're paying extra $50 for the built-in memory.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

New imaging sensor with better low light, depth and altitude sensor, OLED displays, dual Mic 2 support, more battery life, better thermals, and... built in memory.

[@diegovalentino2083]

Go Pro engineers seeing more battery capacity without changing the battery size: 😮😮😮

[@tarocalypse]

Forced obsolescence

[@tomasspetersons4158]

Its due to lower bitrate. Now it is a lot lower. It doesn't matter for general user, but for a profesional user it is a downside. So less birate - less procesing power needed. There is no magic.

[@LonelyTreeSunset]

Please comment on DJI's pathetic max bitrate of 100 Mbps. That is the highest bitrate of all video modes, i.e., 4k 120 4:3. This bitrate is worse than the 4.

[@KarlRock]

Great review! Thank you.

[@PoloHungary]

I wait the ace pro 2

[@eonwalk]

5 pro.. sure buy it 😊

[@seanp2k617]

I believe the battery difference for the 5 vs the 4 is the 4 was Lithium Polymer and the 5 is Lithium Ion. Battery tech always advances a bit each year with updated chemistry and better alloys + packaging. Seems like a decent upgrade but I’m holding out for their mirrorless camera since the OP3 is already so good. Action 5 pro mic sounds the best by far IMO, plus the integration with the DJI Mic 2 built-in is a game changer. GoPro with the media mod still wins if you want to run a proper shotgun or external sound rig though. We’ll see how timecode works given DJIs spotty history with clock drift. Hopefully their mirrorless will just have Tentacle built in, or at least the ability to actually jam sync. GoPro still wins in stab because that 5.3k mode gives it a larger area to crop from, so it’s got more literal wiggle room to play with. The actual smoothness looks a bit better too. They’ve been doing this for quite some years now so I’m not surprised that their algos are quite good now, but the DJI is definitely also useable. For our casual “cinematic” home movies and recordings of adventures, the Osmo Pocket 3 still wins. Waiting on the new Tilta Hydra Alien Mini z-axis stabilizer to turn it into a poor man’s Ronin 4D.

[@aralico]

Thanks for the review. I have a veery old action camera, Gopro hero3+ I was considering to buy the hero 13 black but in the end I just ordered the Dji action5 pro, hope I won’t regret buying it :)

[@AlexBuev]

Thank you very much for such a detailed analysis and comparison with direct competitors. 👍

[@EditioCastigata]

On a bicycle, I actually use the blinking as indicator (on the rear) since for reasons other than battery I must stop the recording occassionally. I hope the OLED screen affords us a selection of indicators. 4k60 is also the game here, 30 fps not so much. The Action 4 then lasts about 1h20. - You didn’t mention it, but the Action 5 supports larger card capacities. - Lack of GPS on a “pro” is remarkable. Anyway, I’d watch you jumping out of a plane! (Syncing timecodes without a mobile then would come in handy.) - Thanks for sharing.

[@WiljanWiljan]

Soon the new ace pro 2 will be launched as well. Better to wait for that comparison before buying a new camera

[@tonybowen455]

Great review. I love that gopro has an alternate firmware for bigger file sizes so they don't split. Anyone know if osmo added this?

[@mrpc8957]

Thank you very much for a great video. You cover all aspects, 100% professional & straight to each point. So then I read through the comments below and realize what you sometimes have to deal with! So my one observation is; why bother responding to the nutjobs who harp on about sponsored / not sponsored. No matter how well or often it's explained they'll continue on with their conspiracies as that's the ignorant deranged mentality of this collective lot. The other 99% of your viewers totally get it and appreciate your efforts.👍

[@maticremsak5098]

the audio sounded wayy better on the dji action 5 pro compared to the other two. Does having night mode enabled have any downsides in terms of fps?

I really liked the video sir! I use to use a gopro for almost a year but I had so many problems with my gopro it has been changed out under warranty twice in less then a year. I got tired of it so i purchased a action 4 and I've never looked back. I'm actually in the market to get 1 more camera and i just heard of the 5 and glad I found your video! Keep up the great content like this. This helps out a pile of us smaller channels who cant afford to just keep wasting money an rubbish. So glad you compared to the older model!

what problems dfid you have with your GoPro? I bought the osmo action 4 as my first camera, had massive focus issues (it could not focus at close range and had horrible jitter issues and could not do 360 degree horizon stabilization, and had really huge files) and returned it in less than 5 days. so there. My GoPro has none of these issues, but yes, it sucks in low light.

[@DryerOutdoors]

@@adiethelonewolf mine would corrupt files all the time it would over heat in less then 12 mins on boat rides at 30+mph under a Bimini top so it’s in the shade It loves to lock up and still show its recording but it’s not cause it’s locked up. It wouldn’t focus sometimes like your issue with the DJI. It’s been a struggle bus with my gopro. Reason I decided I had to try something different. I actually started making my videos with a cheap Black Friday camera and that’s was horrible. All the footage looked greenish and the sound was horrible 🤣

@@DryerOutdoors mine never had those issues. We were out cycling in southern India with well over 110F weather and didn’t face overheating even when I was making a hyperlapse

I’ve talked to GoPro about it done everything they said to do then gave me a shipping label to return and they wanted to do more testing in the camera. They ended up mailing me a new one. That one worked perfect for about 2 months then the same issues started to happen again. The only thing I really use my GoPro for now are night lapse

I’ll be interested in the comparison in low light with the Ace Pro 2 when it comes out. Totally agree, though, that the GoPro in good light looks better and definitely more cinematic. Could ND filters on the Osmo equal some of that out?

[@ZotmundSzele]

Great review again! I don't see the point in the OLED display being colour accurate in case of an action camera. You cannot do much about the colours when you shoot. You just frame the shot and go. Visibility is another thing.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

The main advantage to the OLED is the viewing angles, brightness, and contrast. It makes it easier to use and I guess color accuracy can be useful if you're messing with the white balance in the settings. But yeah, not 100% necessary just a perk.

[@aerialphotographyRDT]

Thank you for a detailed comparison. It seems all these cameras cannot get rid of the fish eye look even on dewarp. The left and right side always stretch more than the centre. This is probably because of the small lens and focal length. I have the Action 3 and will keep it for now.

[@IRDeady]

​@@ChaseTheSummit I think more what people are saying is that it comes off as disingenuous when content makers say "not at all sponsored." We know that legally it's not sponsored, but when you get sent a nice letter and a free camera that not only do you say you use regularly for personal use, but you can also make a video that might blow up for some reason and even it doesn't, while it might not match your best performing videos, it's also well above your worst performing videos. And probably most importantly it attracts a lot of people, like me, who aren't familiar with your channel who might subscribe. It's cool, I at the very least don't blame you for doing the videos, but presenting it all as perfectly objective even though it most certainly is not makes it hard to trust your opinion, especially in the action cam space where there IS a whole lot of sponsored, puff piece content out there. Chances are the people who are criticizing you are people who, also like me, have been burned before by "unsponsored content."

[@roth515]

I'm likely going to go with the Action 5 Pro. My hero 11 black just stopped working (still under a year and I have the receipt) so I'll get that replaced but I just picked up the dji mic 2 set and in my specific need I have two people I need to record audio from. I seen you mention you can connect the 2 dji mics to the action 5 pro but does it allow to record locally on the mics internal storage? I want to get that 32bit float audio recording. Also have you ever used the usb-c to 3.5mm cable on these cameras?

[@LonelyTreeSunset]

How can the 5 Pro have a lower recording bitrare compared to the 4? This is absurd. Users should be given the option of selecting a higher bitrate setting at the expense of lower battery life and higher heat output. DJI must add this to a firmware update. The bitrate is too low on the 5 Pro.

[@HooktOnCarolina]

FYI. The 4 hours of battery life comes from the settings of 1080P at 24fps in a 77 degree room. Not ideal if you ask me so I’m not sure who the hell would be using that for an action camera. Still impressive cam though. Looking forward to seeing the Ace Pro 2 in comparison. That low light test is awesome for the Action 5 pro

And would they end up drifting towards using 1 camera only after 3 months of usage?

[@pyrathian]

I had understood this camera doesn't have GPS, how are you overlaying a route in the video? Also the audio sounded way better using the Action 5 Pro internal mic than when you tested it with the DJI Mic 2. Another thing worth mentioning, I live in Las Vegas and tried using my GoPro 360 to do videos on my mountain bike, out on the trails, as well as in my garage at 9pm working on my project 4Runner, the GoPro overheated both times only twenty minutes in, and I actually found I was simply unable to use it for anything I wanted in this city, because it would always power off. I mention this since you said cameras will likely not overheat in realistic situations, but that may simply not be true.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

1.) As mentioned in the video you can pull in GPS data from other platforms like Garmin (from Garmin watches), or Apple Health (apple watch, or any 3rd party option like COROS, Suunto, Polar whatever.) You can also pull in any GPX or FIT file from a third party service like strava, bike computers, or simply using a GPS tracking app on your phone. Essentially you use a separate device to record your GPS data (as well as heart rate, cycling power, etc...) and then you import that into the DJI Mimo app where it sync's the time data so that the overlays are reflecting the real time data in the video. 2.) Your overheating experience was with the GoPro 360 camera as you mentioned. I was talking about the cameras in this video specifically. If the GoPro 13, Insta360 Ace Pro, or DJI Action 5 get any sort of airflow... even a slight breeze it's enough to cool them and allow them to continue to run without overheating.

[@pyrathian]

I always turn off the screens to conserve energy. That always showing recording time on the front screen is unfortunate.

Since this is using OLED it doesn't take much power to run the front display. Unlike LCD the OLED display allows you only use power on the pixels that are being illuminated. Also, this camera has the best battery life I've tested out of all of the major brands!

[@chadmedford5807]

Unfortunately, i'm unable to overlay any of the data from garmin connect, or FIT files because there is an issue with the camera that video metadata is 1 hour off, so the mimo app can't find "matching" FIT file data. One of the features I was really looking forward to, but looks like as of now it doesn't work. DJI support said they will "relay it to their team". It looks like its some sort of issue with the camera not understanding daylight savings time.

For data overlays, do you know if you can import Garmin files from a Garmin bike computer (530 specifically) following a ride to include in post-production (is there a PC/Mac alternative or does it all go through the mobile app)? What would it look like without a GPS onboard if the entire ride wasn't recorded on the DJI camera? Would it use time stamps or something else? I'm looking for ways to do this without purchasing the DJI remote. looking to purchase my first action cam for cycling and found your video helpful but don't have any hands-on experience yet.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

@@Westonisler yes you should be able to pull bike computer activities in just like watch activities. This is only a mobile app feature no desktop app currently. Yes, if you only record portions of the ride the camera would sync the time from the gps file to show the correct data for that particular clip.
