DJI Action 5 Pro: Testing the 13 Stops Dynamic Range - Is It Worth the Upgrade?

Oh, and also! DJI claim the same form factor as Action 4 which is true EXCEPT for the lens which is bigger - so my Smallrig cage for Action3/4 does NOT fit the Action 5 Pro.

I’m looking for a small action camera, not for action, but to record family and fun and also for daytime walks and walks at night in the city lights. Mostly POV walks. I’m also going to use it specifically to record inside malls and shopping centers. I already have a pocket 3 which is amazing, and a GoPro which is great for sunny skies but fails in low or artificial light. I was waiting on the ace pro 2, but I think I’m leaning towards the action 5 now, as a sidekick to my beloved pocket 3. Do you think it could film at evenings and inside places like malls without jitter and with accuracy in the mixed light? Do you recommend it?

Yea, I think the DJI Action 5 Pro make sense, with the bigger sensor. From my tests it seems like Action 5 can go higher in the ISO and remaining relatively clean. I found that the Action 4 became very noisy quite fast if you bumped up the ISO. There is also this night mode I haven’t tested yet. But I kept the Action 5 Pro and sold my Action 4 so I will keep testing! Find me on insta and I can make custom test video for you 👍😊
