DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro: First Vlog Test (not sponsored)

Because of what you said, you became a representative of me. I also feel the same. I also have the first version of dji and use it as a dashcam. So good luck, you'll get better!

Thank you very much. DJI makes incredible gear.

Thank you for your video. Obviously everyone has their various opinions and preferences when it comes to cameras, but I've tested many cameras throughout the years (I own a video production business), and I really have found that DJI has done an exceptional job with many of their products including the action cameras. GoPro seems to almost be another "name" for action cameras like "Google" is for searching for something online. But there's some serious competition going on between GoPro and DJI. After being really pleased with my drone footage with the various drones that I have had, I was enthusiastic about trying their action cameras. I've had the first version and now recently upgraded to the 5 pro. I love both of these cameras. But, I think it's important to keep in mind that these are not $8,000 cameras so they're not going to do a lot of things that really expensive professional cameras could do - especially in low light. But, they are absolutely amazing cameras for the price and I highly recommend them. I often use the OSMO Action for b-roll footage that requires cameras that can get wet, be out in the snow, or sometimes when just need a small camera that's not so intimidating to people around me when I'm recording some b-roll footage. Keep up the great work! Vlogs seem to do best when people stick right to the point of what they're trying to convey. 👍

Wow, thank you for your informative comment. I really appreciate your feedback. I have to agree with your take on DJI. I started out on a Phantom 3 drone. For sure, they are building quality gear and listening to their customers.

How do like this camera for low light?

[@jimmackayvlog]

I'm impressed with the low light. It is the first action camera I'd consider about on par with my iPhone 14. It falls behind the DJI Pocket 3, but that's about sensor size. I usually shoot low light in the standard 4k setting. If it gets really dark I do use the low light mode, but I find it has an over processed look to my eye. I have noticed some jitter on a few of my low light videos. I'm exploring that at the moment. I think it's due to the Digital Image Stabilization at night. I've heard on YT that by doubling the shutter speed I can reduce or eliminate jitter, but I haven't tried it yet. I'm hoping to release a low light video in the next week. Thanks for the comment.
