Subscriber since 2019 and whenever I bought anything related to photography, I come here to get educated even before unboxing mine. Thanks, Mate.

[@outbackeddie]

This tutorial was a HUGE help. I just got one of these cameras and have never had one before. I didn't know how to do about 80% of the things you discussed. Thanks so much for sharing this information.

[@aaronmelson2887]

I have the action 3 and upgraded to the 5 and it was a MAJOR upgrade. This is a great camera and I love it.

[@AirPhotography]

Indeed, it is

[@FreeriderNate]

Thank you for this breakdown, I just got one and have never used any action camera, so this video was very helpful. 🤙

[@JP-mh9jv]

One of the better beginner videos I've seen.

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you very much. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@RonaldBrown59]

Great beginners guide! I always pick up a few things from these video's, even though I have been using it for a month. Thanks for sharing.

[@phileagle8432]

Thx so much for this - it’s a fabulous overview of the camera, just what I needed! It’s always best to see give these things work and connect and the tip to preattach the mounting kits is fabulous. I love the usage tips and look forward to the slow motion and other action 5 videos in the future! 😊

[@JOEZEP54]

Hi Shawn, It has been awhile. Nice demo. I like the "doors" on this better than the GoPro 8 I have. The magnetic mount is a big plus. No card or charger? The features you show seem to be more user friendly than the GoPro. Stay well, Joe Z

[@exploresandtosummit]

Thanks for the video. Dji have just done a update, I believe it addresses the bit rate everyone is talking about, will you do a video on this update? Your the only one I listen too. 👍

[@lynsmith1096]

Very good tutorial Shawn

[@deepswim]

Tnx so much. I TESTED mine Act-5 with 2 Mic on confirm = it gives 300meters distance from camera. Well, in reality I just need 100 meters away from camera

[@BazFairbrother]

Glad I've finally made the change to dji but I'm perplexed as to the lack of spares such as doors, cages and in particular the low profile magnetic mounts 🤔 A pass through door was on my list too but the great battery life probably negates the need for one. I worked out the other day how to show when you're recording as there isn't a dedicated led and there are also 3 styles of screen info👍🏻

[@babyboy1971]

Great tutorial. I just got this camera . Can you explain SPORT mode vs DAILY? I film a lot at night. Should I use sport to reduce jitters?

[@IamJay]

Thanks man for this tutorial. My OA5 will be coming in a few days.

[@AirPhotography]

Nice. I am glad you enjoyed it

[@villastellone]

What settings work best for everyday family shopping and leisure photography? What, if any, modifications should be made to the following settings? Shooting conditions: neck mount or magnetic mount on clothing *Hands-free filming FHD (1080p)/30fps *With no editing, can't you tell the difference between 4K and FHD on a monitor smaller than a 50’ or smaller TV? ShutterSpeed Auto (1/100-) ISO Auto (~12800? 25600?) Which is better? AWS Auto Angle of view Wide-angle or ultra-wide-angle Which is better? Image stabilisation: Rocksteady or Rocksteady+? Which is better? Mode: Normal10bit?

[@chriscapune7873]

Great video on the setup! 😃👍🐾🐈‍⬛

[@TNOCV]

does the battery hub charges the battery all at the same time just like with the dji neo?

[@AirPhotography]

One at a time

[@TNOCV]

@@AirPhotography thanks.

[@droneartpix]

Thank you.

[@Danny_Roman.]

Cheers Shaun.. can the fro t little screen be turned off whilst recoding as its annoying I was videoing a take off from within an aircraft and you can see the relection which spoilt the shot. 😢

[@davyaerialvideography9595]

Yeah you can turn it off, both can be turned off

[@1sonjohn44]

Good video. If you wanted to record in a vertical orientation (KZbin short) how would you do that?

[@davyaerialvideography9595]

You just turn the camera on its side and it adjusts to vertical shooting. You need to use the case for the camera to attach it to the mount for vertical shooting or you just hold it vertically.

[@yunusilkinci]

Hi guys. Is this cam allow to see the frame on phone app while recording?

[@ruisantos5746]

How to put data from garmin bike computer (speed, data , hr) in the videos ?

[@hootsmcgee7896]

I just bought one. The adventure pack included a selfie stick... with no tripod functionality. Disappointed.

[@Thelnferno]

Can this charge while the device is recording?

[@AirPhotography]

Yes, indeed it can

[@pjanecp]

Please how to put watermark on my dji action 5pro

[@AirPhotography]

In the DJI Mimo app when editing there’s an option. You can add overlays.
