DJI OSMO Action 5 PRO BEST Settings: How To Get Cinematic Footage!

[@greggh]

I thought Rocksteady needs 1/200 shutter or higher to get effective non jittery stabilization. 1/60 shutter isn't going to work with Rocksteady.

[@airbazoo]

This is not a correct statement

[@markr041]

@@airbazoo You really do not know what you are talking about. Digital stabilization cannot deal with blurred motion - you must use high shutter speeds to eliminate artifacts, jump, jitters. This is well known. So you must use high frame rates to smooth motion at the high shutter speeds needed (may not be as high as 1/200th, but it will surely be above 1/100th.

[@joebowbeer]

Per DJI, min. shutter speed w/RS at 25-30fps in low light is: 1/30 to 1/60 (vlog), 1/60 (motorcycle), 1/120 (bike, dive). ISO 100-1600. No mention of ND filter, as these guidelines are for filming in low light.

[@pandasdreamlygon]

you are right @greggh if you dont set it to auto your footage looks bad

[@Marian1st.]

The video I was waiting for. You’re on top of the game. Keep these videos coming.

[@airbazoo]

Appreciate it! iPhone is next

[@Marian1st.]

@@airbazoo Awesome. Please mention that the 48MP camera lens is the equipment of a 7MP camera when compared side by side for accuracy. My 10MP Pentax from 2006, still takes better photos than iPhone’s 48MP. Fake marketing with apple’s pixel multiplication. But , the convenience of having such a powerful device with us all the time, is priceless.

Looks like "sharpness" has been replaced with "texture" is this the same thing is the setting the same?

[@airbazoo]

Yes!

[@Jye_Spaulding]

I don’t get this i always thought that shooting at higher resolution and high fps would be the best and smoothest? How come 25 fps is better? I don’t understand completely haha

[@Rickontwowheels]

for some reason my iso is fixed , cant do 100-800 in manual mode ? would you know how to fix that ? great video

[@airbazoo]

Hey! I think if You keep scrolling you should find it no? It is kinda deep

[@jangwin89]

The only time you can use a ND filter and the 180 rule is if shooting from a stationary stable platform like a tripod (no need for stabilisation) or like a really smooth bike ride or FPV. The Rocksteady, Rocksteady + and horizon balance rely on high shutter speed to approximate sensor position and maintain stability. I use it on horses, one of the most unstable platforms there is. I shoot in 4:3 I leave my Frame rate on 30 or 60 or 120 FPS depending on the use, Let the shutter speed be Auto for whatever it needs to stabilise. I press the auto white balance and let the sensor pick a temp then change it back to manual to lock it during recording. Iso 100-800 D-log M - Noise reduction -2 Sharpness -2 Wide FOV and Rocksteady or + depending on the terrain. I add motion blur in post with the Davinci resolve FX

[@joebowbeer]

Thanks! I noticed on DJI site: min. shutter speed w/RS at 25-30fps in low light is: 1/30 to 1/60 (vlog), 1/60 (motorcycle), 1/120 (bike, dive). ISO 100-1600. No mention of ND filter, as these guidelines are for filming in low light.

[@MichaelNguyenn]

I heard the DJI Avata 2 is the same sensor as this camera but has higher bitrate. Is there any benefit in building a custom FPV Drone with this camera as opposed to just buying it pre-built by DJI?

[@ahmedmeabed6993]

Hey man, thanks for the video. For scuba diving, what color profile should I use? Also should I put on a red filter lense cap?

[@rustyintheoutdoors]

I’m looking to get my first DJI action camera. I’m torn between saving a couple bucks and getting the OA4 or getting the “latest & greatest” and going with the 5. Do you have any advice? Thanks

[@airbazoo]

If you can I would say get the new OM5Pro you’ll save on memory cards and extra batteries for the price difference so it’ll end up being cheaper. Also you’ll future proof yourself I don’t think anyone will need to upgrade from this camera for a long time.

[@rustyintheoutdoors]

@@airbazoo Good point. I hope DJI releases a firmware update soon for the supposed weird AI look in the Super Low light mode and the small bugs. I’m going to be using it for moto videos, and I’m looking for good audio quality.

[@aaronrivera17]

Hey buddy! So actually what is the resolution if u choose the full sensor read out ?

[@airbazoo]

4K! :)

2880 X 2160

[@markr041]

My gosh! You cannot set the shutter speed at twice the frame rate in sunlight! Overexposure in spades! And you cannot use ND filters to reduce the shutter speeds, because the blur will muck up digital stabilization. There is no way to avoid high shutter speeds with an action camera shooting handheld video.

[@rxost1273]

Is the ND filter of action 4 compatible with action 5 pro

[@airbazoo]

Yes! Should work

[@rxost1273]

@@airbazoo great thanks

[@kmaqueira]

what settings do you recommend on my action 5 for recording pickleball games indoors with good lighting. looking to upload matches onto youtube thank you !

[@JuiceBiker]

I find it sad that not a single DJI sponsored KZbinr ever talks about the muddy faces and highlights.... None of you talk about the low bitrate and that this cam is not at all usable for FPV, motorcycles and other fast stuff

[@jabolbrothers739]

bro but if i use double shutter speed with rocksteddy it is so jittery how do you fix this.

[@airbazoo]

Never had any issues. Are you filming FPV?

[@markr041]

You cannot. You must use high shutter speeds with digital stabilization. This is well known. Forget ND filters to reduce shutter speeds - blurred action destroys digital stabilization. Up your frame rate to smooth motion at the high shutter speeds.

[@jabolbrothers739]

@@markr041 then why he recommending nd filter if i can't use 180 degree rule

[@markr041]

@@jabolbrothers739 Because he doesn't know what he is talking about. See my other comments here about frame rates, shutter speeds, and stabilization.
