Thank you so much Jordan: you answered all my questions that I had with my new DJI Action 5 Pro. That was an awesome video. :)

Happy to help! You're very welcome. Thanks for the comment and have fun filming with your new camera!

[@Actionlive-c5h]

Love this, my first action camera. It got extensive use while hiking in Utah and during a week in Yellowstone National Park. Performs like a dream and does what it's supposed to do amazingly well. I love the 5' selfie pole that came with the Adventure package, as it allowed me to get amazing overhead video of Yellowstone's thermal pots and geysers, angles most others couldn't get from ground level. The camera, combined with the IdolFoto accessories, really took my footage to the next level. The pole and mounts provided perfect stability, and I could capture shots others would miss. Great action cam! Highly recommend it for any adventurer looking to elevate their photography game.

Hi Jordan I have a question. I’m trying to find out where I can find to take selfie photo while the dji osmo is in the selfie stick.

[@anoopnair988]

Is it true that the DJI Mimo app doesn't work with Android devices especially Samsung phones? As I could not find the app on the playstore.

[@JordanHetrick]

It will work on Android devices, but you have to go download the app from DJI's website.

[@sacul19700]

Works with android phones :) but samsung tablets wont work .... my s8 ultra cant open it after installing

[@MrZACATECANO100]

Can action 5 pro be mounted on GoPro mounts??

[@anoopnair988]

@@JordanHetrick yeah I saw that, by scanning the QR code, Thanks. But isn't it risky to download an APK without the playstore's play protect? I am really inclined to buy one, but this thing of not having an app on Playstore has really put me off.

[@ashantiwylaineang9249]

Whats the ideal resolution for super night mode and underwater shots?

[@BazFairbrother]

Really useful video which has explained a lot. I'm new to osmo action 5 after 18 years of GoPro. Why don't they offer the low profile magnetic mount separately and why no spares like the cage or doors? Final question is I'm guessing there is no dedicated LED to tell you when you're recording and it relies on the screen display?

[@larrylim2734]

does the rubber around the lens cover should always be attached to it or I can use without that rubber?

Hi does the screen have a protector. Or do you buy an optional screen protector if one is available ?

Where can I get that lens cover with no glass on it shown at 7:11? That doesn’t come with the camera and I can’t find it online.

Hi just found and subscribed to your channel , impressed with your descriptive and informative review , as a novice to the world of motorcycle , exploring video recording , wondering if using high capacity memory cards say 500 MB is advantageous when it comes to editing or are smaller capacity cards say 256GB better?

[@odenttraipser5833]

Very helpful video. If I understand you correctly, the Action 5 Pro can't be activated without a phone - correct? If so, I may need to rethink buying one.

[@JordanHetrick]

Yes, that is correct. If you don't have a phone, you could activate it on a friend's phone. From there on, you wouldn't ever have to pair it to a phone again.

[@odenttraipser5833]

@@JordanHetrick Thank you for the reply, it is appreciated.

[@SnoringVids]

It's sketchy that they require the app to get the action cams to work. When you receive the device it only allows you to use it five times and then you need to use the app which is not available on the Play store, allowing unknown apps then sign a long doc which boils down to DJI basically decides everything about the device. If I would have known this was required I'd think twice about purchase

[@alwhitney-muskoka]

I can't find sharpness settings. I need to dial it down a bit. Does this camera not have sharpness control? I may have to return this and go back to my GoPro

Yes it can

[@seaweed8228]

Is there a possibilty to pause an current recording? Can't believe I have to fully stop and start a new record 🤔Thus is a must have basic feature...

[@JordanHetrick]

There is no pause recording, but it's very easy to stop recording and start a new video. You can just bring them back into the editing timeline to put clips together.

[@deekox1]

5:17 is it possible to record video while charging? I got GoPro 12 with MediaMod (mounted od motorcycle helmet) just to have the possibility to have them permanently connected to power bank in my backpack.

[@shegocrazy]

[@careylymanjones]

The UI on the Action 5 Pro is very much like the UI on the Osmo Pocket 3. Can you manually set the shutter speed on the Action Pro 5? I like to do that on the Pocket 3, to get "natural" motion blur.

[@JordanHetrick]

Yes, you sure can.👍

[@WeirdNsGamingYT]

Hello there, I am planning to buy the DJI Action 5 Pro, but the only thing holding me back is the DJI Mimo app. I have heard that it doesn't support Android and is not available on the Play Store. You need to sideload it and have only 5 attempts after installing. If I fail to register the camera, then both my money and the camera are as good as gone. Please let me know if there is something I can do, or if I should go with the Osmo Action 4 instead.

[@JordanHetrick]

Yes, it's true that the DJI Mimo App is not on the Play Store. It will work on Android devices, but you have to download the app from DJI's website. You should not have a problem activating the camera through the app though once you download it. That being said, both the Action 4 and Action 5 Pro require activation through the app, so I would go with the Action 5. DJI offers a 14-day return policy, and Amazon has a return policy too, so if for some strange reason, you can not activate the camera (which I'm sure you will be able to), you could return it. Hope that helps!

Is it really safe to use it in salt water without underwater case? I'm buying it especially for snorkeling in Red sea, it would be nice to get full explaining video about using it underwater because i did not find any video in youtube about it. :)

[@davyaerialvideography9595]

I used mine in saltwater for a month and it worked perfectly. Just be sure to rinse it with fresh water afterwards. Just prevents any salt etc. I do have the case now, but that was just more for protection and to film when I don’t want wind noise.

[@JordanHetrick]

Yes, it is safe to use underwater without a case. Just always rinse it with fresh water afterwards because salt is very corrosive. I pretty much always use it without a case 👍

[@_achalsingh]

Hey @JordanHetrick, while setting up my OA5 for the first time, I guess I missed installing the 600MB firmware update and accidentally closed the MIMO app. On re-opening the app later I was again prompted to install another firmware update of about 101 MB (I correctly downloaded and installed it on the camera), but I didn't see any prompt for the 600MB one. Did I mess up something? Was the previous one (600MB one) installed correctly? Do I need to do something to fix this or will the camera handle it on its own? In the settings my Firmware Version shows: 01.00.07.30 and Camera Firmware Version shows: 10.00.06.21. Is this correct or will I face any issues. Thanks!

[@asengineer4594]

@JordanHetrick Great actual usage guide. How about voice commands? I plan to attach the camera to my bike and shoot photos or record video without stopping. Changing the mode between photo and video seems to be silly design choice. My 10 years old camera (not an action camera) can take photos while still recording. Can I just turn on the camera and then use voice commands to switch these modes? For example I would like to say "take photo" or "start recording" then "stop recording"rather than to swipe through menu to change mode, then press the shutter ... my subject is already gone and it's too late. Not to mention I don't want to operate anything with my hands with exception to handlebar and brakes.
