DJI OSMO ACTION 5 PRO - All the New Features

[@FlytPath]

NOTE: 02:52 - 03:01 I mislabeled the footage. The video of the lighthouse shots are flipped. It should read DJI Action 4 on the left and Action 5 on the right.

[@russia274]

Since you have contacts at DJI, please communicate to them the need to be able to set ISO to 100 or at least 100-200 in AUTO mode. Currently its 100-800 as lowest option and DJI never chooses ISO100 even in bright daylight. Mine averages ISO300+

[@Bournemouthjetwashing]

Been using dji as work cameras for last few years. Just got the 5 , this camrea blows the go pro 13 out of the water, no overheating and shutting down and bug issues at all unlike the go pro . Absolutely fabulous camrea definitely worth a buy 👍🏻

[@RichartAsia]

Good news guys I just bought mine and tested great at 4k 60fps with no overheating like my action 4 great upgrade battery lasted 5pm to 7.30pm way better now

[@TravelPostcards]

Are files 60 Mbit/s max?

[@boogiedownbronx73]

but the A5 batter can also be used on the A4 so that should sort the overheating on the A4 as well

That Nightmode is amazing and has probably single handedly killed the GoPro. Such a difference.

[@delasse3178]

true but the Insta360's looks like slightly more detail at the cost only slighlty less brightness. Makes the DJI look like it's trying to overcompensate. I'd still go with this over the GoPro or Insta360. Nice review though!

Love the facts that besides all the extra bells and whistles in the new iteration of the product, in terms of actual photos and video produced the Insta360 came out on top, even though it wasn't compared head-to-head like the GoPro 13 Pro.

Very happy with mine so far. Still testing settings for mountain biking but even on default settings it looks pretty awesome.

I am a fishing KZbinr and thanks to you i just found my next action camera to replace my 4 year old gopro 8. So many useful features by action 5 like longer battery life in high res. Pre record to not miss the hookset and that night mode kills gopro.

[@TwoTubesADV]

I dropped GoPro last year after constant issues and bugs with every generation. Would never go back. DJI is just reliable as heck and great footage 👍

[@trilheirosonline]

Excellent explanations. Thank you very much for the video. I've always used GoPro since series 2, but I was currently trying out an Action 4, because the GoPro 12 excluded the option to shoot in 2.7K 60 FPS. What I noticed is that the Action 4 gave me a darker image compared to the GoPro, and I always needed to add light when editing, either to make the image brighter or to reduce shadows. Since I use it to record motorcycle trips, I also found the DJI Action 4's stability to be inferior, especially when moving quickly laterally. Now I'm going to buy an Action 5, because it seems to me that with the new features, these two details may have improved.

[@tinkerbellstwin]

Great video! I was waiting for this! Night mode is no joke!

[@LadyChenTravel]

[@richardb8492]

The Super Night Mode has a really bad lens flare when direct light hits the lens cover pretty much the same as the iPhone. I wonder if it would still happen if you took the cover off or added polarised filter to it. Otherwise I’d almost be tempted to upgrade from the Action 1. Maybe!

With the DJI, do you have to actually rotate the camera for vertical recording?

Since the old batteries work on the newer camera, will the new batteries also work on the older cameras?

[@colibrifpv]

That night mode comparison shows where GoPro tech and DJI tech are right now.... difference is night and day 😅

[@nicksangetta8874]

Yeah.. the DJI shoots better in dark while the GoPro is vastly superior in day light. Since I don't film in the dark at night (who does?) the GoPro is still the superior camera in my opinion.

[@colibrifpv]

​@@nicksangetta8874 I wouldn't agree that the GoPro 13 is "vastly superior" to this Osmo 5. Remember the 13 is basically a GoPro 11 (same sensor) with new tricks while the Osmo 5 is using a brand new sensor. However, I will grant you that GoPro color science is better, and captures a more pleasing image when lighting conditions are optimal, but if you're shooting in log I'm not sure that's true anymore.

[@nicksangetta8874]

@colibrifpv I will admit the GP13 is a steaming pile. Who in the heck wants to stop and change lenses on an Action cam? I can't think of anything dumber. If one is going to go to all that trouble that person is probably already a professional photographer and is not using a gopro. I am still using my GP12 and in good lighting I don't see how the picture can get much better. I just wish the GP and the A5 could have a baby that included the best from both. The coloring and stab of the GP and the low light capabilities of the A5. Maybe we will get it one day..

[@mattk-f8]

Nice!! Does any third party make a locking mount for DJI similar to what 360 has?

[@JoshQuill]

I just bought the Action 3 late last year and already they released a 4 and now a 5 Pro! I'm truly sold on the Super Night mode. That was definitely my concern with the 3's capabilities. I'm doing great with the Action 3 but would it be worth the upgrade to the 5 Pro?

[@markshirley01]

Is the video quality better than a flagship phone like the iPhone 16 or Google Pixel 9.

[@Simon-qy7pe]

The DJI is far too wide for anything other than Vlogs. It’s great to have this wide FOV for some scenarios such as filming yourself but for scenery and anything else subjects look so far and flattened. It would be great if we could get a camera that allows us to adjust the FOV so we can record videos that are more realistic - what your eyes see.

[@troletti]

I’d love to see a real-world stabilization test for the Action 5 Pro, especially its ability to maintain a level horizon. We’ve experienced stabilization issues with both the Action 3 and Action 4 when rigged to motor vehicles, particularly boats, while filming boating safety videos. The IMU seems overly sensitive to engine vibrations, and I’ve seen similar problems in videos with cars, motorcycles, and mountain bikes. I’m curious if DJI has made any improvements with the Action 5 Pro. It looks like a great camera, but so far, we've been using the Hero 12 because it handles engine vibrations much better, allowing for simpler mounting without the need for heavy dampening.

[@anthonysinclair]

[@maxsteal1982]

Why is the water blue at 2:23 and then green at 3:19 ? The OA5Pro is in shallow water for both scenes! It's hard to not believe no color correction is done or modes applied when we see mis-matched scenes like these. Additionally at 3:22 why does the OA5Pro 40MP sensor look so much worst that the I360AP 48MP? Guess we just have to wait for the unsponsored reviews.

[@Ben-rp1pb]

Actually, i have the gopro 12 and tested yesterday the osmo action 5. Clearly it is a good camera but the image quality is much better on the gopro ( you can see it indeed ont the video of flypath).

I am surprised how much better the Ace Pro footage looks in comparison, you can see the jungle shots looking with much better dynamic range and also the underwater shots with better color and clarity. Then in low light, the DJI has extreme noise, while the Ace Pro handles it much better. I am shocked to see this since I was really looking forward to buying this one, will definitely wait for the Ace Pro 2

[@christopherhughes3551]

I'm definitely either going with the Ace Pro 2 or the Osmo Action 5. GP13 just isn't good enough by comparison.

You’re right. The AcePro definitely has better looking videos.

[@gabrielhunter4268]

I am totally with you. Horrible low-light performance compared with the ace pro. I am a dji fan but I must admit that ace pro is much much better. I am shocked. Maybe I had too many expectations. Definitely doesn't deserve the name of 5 pro, maybe a 4 pro at maximum. So disappointed 😥 😥

What i want to know if you are already a photographer would you buy a gopro or dji cause i have noticed like dji is better in software in automatic modes ... So the sensor in gopro can get better video in low light conditions if you know how to use the settings ... Correct me if i am wrong ...

[@SingaporeUntold]

I’m still using the GoPro 9. Set iso limit to 1600. Flat profile. 24 or 30fps. High bitrate and in post I boost the “shadow” just within the iOS photos. Seems usable. But I would have to say the biggest issues with all these cameras is that any shake will cause ALL of them to have crap footage. They rely on the image for the stabilization. So I’ve seen people use the ace pro for cycling at night and seems to be the favorite for its low light but the footage is unusable at some points because of the vibration. Other times the footage looks like an oil painting with the heavy noise reduction after it’s boosting the image.
