DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro | Complete Beginners Guide & Best Settings

Why does no one talk about the clear washers that are on that blue card that is with the accessories?

[@GreatDayForAHike]

The little blue circular stickers are known as Anti-Slip Pads. These are to enhance the grip between the camera accessories and the Quick-Release Adapter Mount. If you find that the accessory is not firmly connected, using these anti-slip pads can help create a more secure attachment.

@@GreatDayForAHike Thank you for the clarification on their use!

[@GreatDayForAHike]

@The_Essential_Light Absolutely!

[@KenToney]

@@The_Essential_Light I saw a suction cup mount for car that’s electric so if it looses a little air it pumps up more, $128 but ingenious

24:17 You can see the unnecessary ISO and shutter spped increase for auto exposure mode compared to manual that can be crucial to the optimal image quality. Hope any fix will be followed by DJI

It would be cool to make a quick review card to print out to keep when shooting of all these settings!

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Good idea. I’ll keep this in mind and see if this is something I can create and share for free on a website.

[@jardastraz]

Thank you it helped a lot in deciding how to set up the camera.😉

[@barneyschlumpf4257]

great review the only thing missing is you didnt showed the super slowmotion...the dji 5pro is able to record 240 fps and then it generates frames in between so you can make super slow videos with 900 fps!!! asi know only sonys rx 100 m5 cameras could do that before. so this option on a 380€ camera is a very cool feature for me.

[@KenToney]

Wondering why I’m getting a countdown on the screen when I start video?

[@GreatDayForAHike]

It could be that you have a timer turned on to countdown before starting recording or it could be on Pre-Rec mode.

[@KenToney]

@@GreatDayForAHike got it thanks

[@KenToney]

I thought the 4 nd’s would work but bought the Neewer kit and had to send back, bought DJI kit

[@GreatDayForAHike]

I currently have a Freewell ND filter kit that I used in the Action 4. The fit isn’t precise due to the slight change in the lens cover design but I expect Freewell will have new ones for the Action 5 too. I’ll be getting them as soon as I can.

[@KenToney]

@@GreatDayForAHike I realize now the filter screws off like the Action 4 I had, oh well returned to Amazon and purchased DJI

[@GreatDayForAHike]

@KenToney Yes, it does screw off but getting it off the first time can be challenging. DJI really torqued it down right.

[@KenToney]

Does it auto detect SD micro or do you need to select the storage in settings?

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Great question. It does not auto-change the storage from internal to the microSD card. You will have to select microSD under the storage menu in settings.

[@KenToney]

Have prerecorded on Osmo 5 but can’t get in my Sony A1’s

[@KenToney]

Another question I have is how to put things in different folders. Like if I shoot two different spots in a day can I separate to two different folders?

[@SkylerF4qu]

What to do if the update failed

[@GreatDayForAHike]

If the firmware update fails reboot the Action 5 and also restart the DJI Mimo app on your phone. Then re-connect them and try again. This should do it.

[@KenToney]

@@GreatDayForAHike I had to do it 3 times

[@GreatDayForAHike]

@KenToney wow
