DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro VS GoPro Hero 13 | Comparison | WHICH ONE IS BETTER?

[@liamwalker2343]

The DJI Action 5 really nailed it. It's got fantastic low-light quality and the daytime video is finally superb. If you turn wind reduction on, the audio quality will be even better. Plus, it’s backward compatible with the A4 battery, and the battery lasts longer too. The screen is bigger and has no problem when using it under the strong sunlight with sunglasses. They really listen to what people need.

[@user-jt5vm3mi1w]

just the dodgy android app is the problem

[@MihaiBlog]

I decided for Action5 for low light and also for connection with two DJI Mic2. I use it most for vlogging. And also for longer battery time and fast charging. Have wonderful day.

[@JordanHetrick]

The dual DJI Mic2 connection is awesome for two subjects! The long battery life and quick charging are also super convenient. Thanks for your feedback and have a wonderful day too!

[@JuiceBiker]

With a Bitrate of 60 the Action5 Looks Not that good. Faces and Highlights Looks Muddy, light Changes are hard with that Slow Bitrate. Hope for a Update..... Without the Action5 ist useless

[@MiticaGaming]

I understand that you can also connect the dji microphone to the go pro via bluetooth

[@nateo1589]

Wow. What an actual, helpful, video. No annoying long intro with annoying music. Just straight to the facts, side by side comparison, and quality, well-presented information. Well done. I will buy your book.

[@obs2746]

This was the best ‘straight to the point’ and easiest review I’ve found. Excellent

[@doom3crazy]

You guys are missing something super important. GoPro colors “look better” because it’s a more saturated warmer image. But if we’re talking about accuracy? Dji looks way closer to real life

[@JordanHetrick]

Thanks for your feedback!

[@JoeJimmyFunChannel]

GoPro image is waaay softer and less "digital"

[@TiltedLensVisualsBTS]

completely agree as a videographer that's more important to me than bright and saturated colors.

​@@sergiogasyou forget to talk about reliability, gopro fails drastically!!!

[@stevenm6301]

I have a Hero 10 and now a 13. The low light performance of the DJI, being the only win for it for me personally, was not enough to get me into the action 5. Love my GoPros and they have never let me down. Maybe I’m the exception!

[@JordanHetrick]

Thanks for your comment! You are definitely not the exception- millions of GoPro cameras are sold each year with lots of happy customers. Some people of course have issues, but the majority seem to be satisfied customers.

[@stevenm6301]

@@JordanHetrick Heck yeah. Great video my man. I've never experienced the overheating issue. I've had a corrupt file or two on my Hero 7, but nothing since. Thankfully I never bought the 9 which seemed to be the worst model. I honestly don't need the low light performance so staying within the same family of products was a no brainer for me. Plus, DJI's customer service on the drone side has not been very impressive.

[@AC-lt5ro]

This is the absolute best non biased review! Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@JordanHetrick]

Thank you so much! I did my best to show you guys as many comparisons as I could so you could decide yourselves rather than imposing my opinion on you. Thanks to DJI, who sponsored this video and encouraged me to present an accurate comparison so consumers could make informed decisions! 🙏

[@sageallenneil]

Its a paid partnership 😅 how is it non biased?

[@gregoryowain2073]

Wow this is a much better and more even-handed review than all the other ones that have been popping up. I guess the issue is that most people are being sponsored by DJi. Action 5 is the clear winner out the box in low light but i can see it is still jittering a lot at 7:40 which is a bit disappointing. I suppose no matter which action cam you use there's no replacement for having a gimbal.

[@JordanHetrick]

Thank you! I just wanted to show you guys the footage straight out of the cameras so you could decide. This video is actually sponsored by DJI in agreement that I would share an honest comparison with you all. Getting the camera early gave me time to test both cameras and share my results with you all, so thank you to DJI for that. Thanks for your comment! The low light footage has minimal jitters if you hold the camera really steady, thanks to the super high ISO. But nothing is going to beat a gimbal yet.

[@aryaprincess2479]

GoPro looks better because it has boosted colors and it is more warm tone than neutral that the DJI is. Look at 1:25, the sky in GoPro is white in the right side, DJI can show the clouds. DJI is more true to life colors and you can easily get the look of GoPro if you wanted if you turned the footage more warm tone. The thing that DJI messed is that even though they have bigger resolution, they do not have 5k, 5.3k or even 6k that they could. And also the 360 horizon lock is on 2,7k only which sucks.

[@JordanHetrick]

Thanks for your feedback! Great insights 🙏🏼

[@letsrugem]

[@aryaprincess2479]

Ace 5 Pro is indeed better than these two, and it is the previous year's model. If they even bring an Ace 5 Pro 2 version it will kick these two out of the game.

[@RadOpsTV]

You didn’t mention one of the most important parts, the Bluetooth audio works terribly with the GoPro. It’s basically unusable.

[@RGMGFitness]

Thanks for the info.! Picked up the GoPro13 the other week. Personally, I like the color on the GoPro 13 (my preference). The subject tracking on the new ACTION 5 PRO is pretty cool (nice little feature). Clearly, the DJI Action 5 Pro is better in low light (same as Action 4)...surprised GoPro didn't improve on this as seems a lot of folks really like the better lower light of the DJI Action camera's. Great location to shoot by the way...can't wait to get back there myself. Personally, I think both these action cameras are amazing for shooting underwater in that crystal clear water like you've shown in this video. Enjoy the rest of your day!

[@MtnXfreeride]

I would rather someone make an active tracking gimbal for these cameras than rely on a punch in of such a tiny sensor.

[@JordanHetrick]

You're welcome! Thank you for the comment and sharing your opinion. I was also REALLY surprised that GoPro didn't step it up in low light since that is where the competition has headed, and people have been asking for it. Have a great day too!

[@machodude5396]

GP13 is already 50 bucks more expensive than the AP5 (not to mention the older AP4 and Insta360 AcePro) with a larger sensor to have a superb low light performance. GoPro cannot compete with the price if they put in a larger sensor for low light performance and they also need to put into account that the investment in R&D to make that change, that may end up that the price of the final product will be insanely costly.

[@vcx-forum]

absolutely amazing review!

[@mayurpradhan6958]

I have a Dji action 4 and I was about to upgrade to action 5pro but after looking at this video I think other then battery life and little added features it’s almost the same .Thanks for this amazing in depth comparison 🙌🙌

[@JordanHetrick]

Thanks for your feedback. I do think the extra dynamic range and improved low light filming is worth the upgrade if those things matter to you. But the Action 4 is still a solid camera too. It just depends what you need.

[@charleslevan8211]

Looking closely at the video, I noticed a lot of compression artifacts with the DJI. As much as I really want to love the Action 5 to pair with my DJI Pocket 3 and Mic2s, it really comes down to image quality and so I totally agree with you that the GoPRo is clearly superior. Just out of curiosity, were you using the higher bit rate option on the Action 5?

[@chrispewkreme]

Awesome info as always! Man you gotta be livin it up on Maui! I wanna learn to paraglide there. And go for a wind foil sesh

Such a helpful comparison video, thank you for making it! I'm going to order the DJI. Also, you got a haircut at the end, ha!

[@JordanHetrick]

I'm so happy to hear that I helped. Once the Action 5 arrives, be sure to check out my beginner's guide to learn the ins and outs. Haha yes I try to avoid mid-video haircuts, but it happened!

[@xlias5636]

Some colors on the gopro are definitely warmer a little more vibrant. But if you look at the shot at 1:26, it becomes clear it's because it actually fails to deal with the dynamic range properly. It would be useful to know if they can both be improved (the DJI to have a little more vibrancy and the gopro to not overexpose so much). But between these 2 cameras, the DJI comes out as the one you can fix in post. (without even considering low light where this is obviously not a discussion)

[@JordanHetrick]

Interesting observation. Thanks for pointing that out 👍👍

[@aryaprincess2479]

DJI is more neutral and true to life colors. Making it slightly more warmtone wouldn't be that hard in post, and there might even be a setting to put it in the shooting, like color balance.

[@vaestheticWildtierfotografie]

Made my decision and I will move from my GoPro 10 to the Osmo Action 5. GoPro left me in the lurch with screen freezing, overheating and just randomly turning off when its too cold. Also the low light performance and battery life from DJI is much better, colours look more realistic. Goodbye GoPro, I will move on.

[@JordanHetrick]

Decision made! Enjoy your new camera!

[@szeinner]

I stopped buying GoPro years ago as I lost so much footage due to freezing up. (And yes I was using the correct SD card). Have never had that issue with DJI. When you think about it, GoPro only has 1 type of product to focus on, so they should be head and shoulders above DJI but just can’t seem to do that. I’ll stick with my DJI products for now. Thanks for the great comparison review.

[@JordanHetrick]

You are welcome! Thanks for your opinion, and I agree that while the Hero 13 is still really good, GoPro could be more dedicated to innovation.

[@breakfastforyousoul]

I agree!!

[@twitch_tv_pat]

i've love the 13 so far , but seeing this makes me want to check out the action 5 camera as well. the new len's are pretty great , the low light shooting with the action 5 makes it feel like a great night time camera.

[@Guenounovitch]

They’re still dominating everything buddy

[@SGSAutomotive]

GoPro are a small business with limited money for R&D and look for maximum profit and minimum outlay on every GoPro they release. DJI on the other hand don’t have that limitation That makes for substandard products that overheat and perform poorly on a regular basis. Spec wise they look better than DJI’s equivalent products but actual real life performance in use leaves the GoPro seriously lagging behind.

[@lavapix]

If you want to give the DJI more pop without shooting 10-bit log, use a polarizer filter. I use one on my GP8.

[@JordanHetrick]

Thanks for the tip for everyone watching this. Polarizer filters are helpful!

[@tylermatthews6130]

Even though Gopro colors pop way more, I feel like I actually prefer the Action 5. It’s closer to real life colors wheres the GoPro seems to be oversaturated out of the box. They both look great, but I prefer to have a more realistic color grade to edit than an oversaturated one. I also like that the action 5 is overall a little cooler color temperature. Gopro seems a little over-warmed. Plus the night capabilities… I think I’m going with the Action.

honestly i think they are both great , you can go either way or even just get both. the fact that you can make high quality videos on "action" cameras that look like that is just crazy. i say "action" because people could use them for more then just action cams but vlogging , or just main shooting cameras.

[@JordanHetrick]

I agree completely. We've come a long way with the camera technology and are so lucky to have this available to us. When I used to shoot film (aging myself here🤣) in big water housings, I never imagined this is where we would be. But, I'm grateful we are!

[@theneonrider6958]

DJI almost reaching GoPro's quality. GoPro for sure has the better video footage. But rest everything is so much better on DJI be it battery life, screen quality, overheating, handling mounts, low light. I think the next iteration of osmo action will destroy GoPro. May be I will buy osmo action 6 or 7.

[@JordanHetrick]

I was impressed by how close they were but was also expecting that the Action 5 would match or surpass the Hero 13's color straight out of the camera. Of course, many of the other Action 5 qualities outweigh it, so it is a hard call. That's why I think it really comes down to how you will be using it.

[@theneonrider6958]

@@JordanHetrick 💯 agreed. Let's see if the next action fixes the camera. Then the action definitely wins.

[@Seanvandeusen]

GoPro hero 13 looks great out of the box. Reminds me of my iPhone camera vs my Samsung S24 ultra. No tinkering needed… just looks good! However… a BIG however… dynamic range is important. And the Action 5 pro blows the Hero 13 out of the water. With that said… you can dial in identical colors as the Hero 13 when shooting 10bit. And you’re left a clip that is unbelievably better in every aspect. For example: The Hero 13 (even with its highlights clipping) looks great. You can throw a video with a bunch of clips from it and impress your friends and or clients. If you’re like me and you use the latest DJI drone, a Blackmagic pocket full frame, Fuji XH2S paired with the Blackmagic assist and shooting braw files… the Hero 13 stands out… and not in a good way. It’s like watching an and everything looks professional and then it switches over to a VHS camcorder. Especially if you’re doing some deep grading. While the tones look great on the Hero 13, there’s hardly any wiggle room for post before the image falls apart. And because the dynamic range isn’t that great… those highlights clipping are the first thing you’ll notice. However.. the Action 5 clips blend in so well that I often forget some clips are shot on that vs something I shot on one of my cinema cameras with a wide lens. If you mostly action stuff, skateboard, surf, bike and just need something to put a video together… you won’t go wrong with the Hero 13. If you owned older models and you have all the accessories… trust me you won’t have remorse buying the 13! But if you’re here because you want a crash cam, a small camera for tight spots, something to do inside shots with to pair with professional cameras for short films, weddings and commercials. Trust me! No matter how big of a fan boy you are of the Hero 13… get the action cam or you will pull your hair out trying to get the footage to match and when you finally do you’ll be left with blown out highlights and a very muddy shot. Trust me on this! The hero 13 is amazing (out of the box) you can’t push it in post. But 90% won’t want or need to. But many of you will buy this and begging us in color correction forums, Reddit and discord how to grade hero 13 footage. You can’t lol.

[@JordanHetrick]

Thank you for your experienced opinion and detailed rundown. I agree that for more advanced filmmakers, the Action 5 has more potential like you said. Most people starting out, or even semi-experienced, won't be able to achieve the full potential of what the Action 5 could produce. For those people, either of these action cams will satisfy their needs. Thanks again for putting so much time and energy into to this comment to share your experiences!

[@Seanvandeusen]

@@JordanHetrick I definitely agree! I love both and they both def have their purpose. But if you’re filming mostly action.. either will perform perfectly. However if you don’t like editing I think the go pro and all its accessories have the leg up seeing the footage looks great right out of the camera. :) cheers!

[@ratravision]

Good guide about compare

[@_achalsingh]

@JordanHetrick thanks for the great comparison. Want to know your thoughts on the on-going concerns regarding the massive drop in the Bitrate of Action 5 Pro as compared to the Action 4? At 4k 4:3 30pfs => Action 5 Pro: 60Mbits/s whereas Action 4: 130Mbits/s And DJI says its for file size optimisation and better battery life, but why is it done at the cost of video quality? Also, I don't think there will be a firmware upgrade for the bitrate.

[@JordanHetrick]

Thanks for writing! I haven't had time to run and side-by-sides with the Action 4 yet. I would be curious to do that. But, from what I've seen, even though the bit rate is lower, somehow the image quality still seems to be very high quality. I didn't notice any artifacts or other issues typically seen with a low bit rate. I even filmed shots at high frame rates with lots of plain sky and water- shots where I often see artifacts with other cameras. That being said, i haven't had time to view the videos on a super large monitor, so maybe more would be noticeable in that scenario. I hope that helps!

[@tvstamara]

Any thoughts on stills or photographs? I used to own gopros way back. Shooting timelapse and taking still from snorkling videos. After years of owning non im looking for one. Next month im hoping to snorkel again and take some startrail shots. So Im wondering about taking photos and stills. Any thoughts?

[@JordanHetrick]

Thanks for asking! As far as stills, the Action 5 takes 40MP photos and the Hero 13 takes 27MP photos. Both look pretty good, but I really focused more on the video aspect when I was comparing. Sorry. For star trails though, the Hero 13 is the better option because the Action 5 doesn't have those night effects. I made a review specifically for underwater between the Action 4 vs the Hero 12 if you want to see more underwater comparisons, even though it's on the previous models.

Assuming the feature is retained in the hero 13?

[@JayS.-mm3qr]

@@TobiasS-w6q i don't understand the question.

[@JayS.-mm3qr]

@@TobiasS-w6q alright, let me put it this way.... I don't care that it's called an action cam. The little thing films in 4k 60fps! The only thing stopping it from being a "real" camera, is that you can't zoom, preventing you from using it for so many use cases. This cam already has the best stabilization in the industry. Not even $2000 camera can compete. But the only way I'm going to be able to zoom with 4k 60fps, is if i spend an additional $2000, on another camera.... which is a lot of money!! And a non gopro cam, btw, which means gopro is losing out on that money. So if gopro had the option to zoom, if they would stop focusing so much on "action", then they would have a complete product. Wish they had an option of a cam that was a little bigger, to allow for a bigger sensor and lens, for true 4k, and zooming, but it retains its still relatively small size, ruggedness, and stability. Then people could buy a single $1000 camera for all use cases, instead of $3000 on two cameras, and have to baby the more expensive one because they aren't tough, waterproof, and their stability is low qual.

Not to sound harsh, but you should know better as a filmmaker/photographer that the GoPro has inaccurate color reproduction.

You are welcome! Thank you. Yes, you can use the GoPro Quik App on an iPad. I would only recommend it for editing your single clips, and automatic edits if you want something quick on the road. For most editing, I recommend using an editor such as CapCut on a mobile device. Yes, my books are available on Amazon in Kindle format, Apple Books, and Google Play. DJI did sponsor this video to provide me with filming time before the release to share my honest comparison with you guys. However, I had full creative freedom to share my honest opinion and unedited comparisons from both cameras. Thank you for writing and happy adventures!

Does the Action 5 require Wifi, Bluetooth, and Location to be turned on in order to use the camera?

[@JordanHetrick]

No, once you activate the camera initially, you can use it as a standalone camera.

[@DenverTI]

@@JordanHetrick That's great because my Insta360 Go3 requires everything to be turned on and I hate that.

[@AccordingToRobin]

@@JordanHetrickHow about the Go Pro, does it have to have all those things on?

[@rollingjunkie]

I use it on water sports, so your review is very helpful. How about the difference in water repellent coating?

[@vincentchan9484]

thank you share and good job👍🏼🙏🏼

[@JordanHetrick]

Thank you and you're welcome!

[@twistedjiji]

The GoPro definitely looks better with the daytime colors. I'm wondering if DJI can fix/update that with future firmware updates.🤔

[@JordanHetrick]

Thanks for your opinion. I hope they can and do 👍

[@_Rol_]

Great video👍. Just one question, are low light videos important for an action cam? I can find low light videos made with an action cam in youtube mainly for product comparison and sales. Maybe, real user make low light videos preferred with a smart phone, which is better in low light than any action cam.

При слабом свете нужен дополнительный свет даже на полнокадровых беззеркалках с оптикой 1.8.

[@NCOUTDOORS1960]

Last comment, sorry! I do like how you get internal storage on the Dji!!

[@JordanHetrick]

Yes I like that too. It's the first full size action camera I've seen with internal storage. Great for when you forget an sd card 😝

[@NCOUTDOORS1960]

@@JordanHetrick haha!! At least you could still get some decent footage and not spoil the day!

[@BestToWonder]

The goprp color looks better, but I don't know... Still want the DJI.. maybe I can saturate the color in editing? Easily?

[@JordanHetrick]

If you don't mind color grading, you can definitely make the Action 5 footage look like the GoPro shots.

[@unbeh_1923]

Very good video. Thanks

[@JordanHetrick]

Thank you and you are welcome!

[@GMTV928]

Now i use GoPro 12. If i buy a battery for GoPro 13. It's okay if i put in GoPro 12 they are the same size?

[@JordanHetrick]

Hi, The battery for the Hero 13 is a new design, so the Hero 12 batteries can not be used in the 13.

[@atois8136]

I’ve been a long time faithful GoPro user, although I’m fed up with the over heating in the summer and the camera just turning off anytime I want to record when I’m snowboarding in colder weather. Edit: reliability is not there GoPro, also me having to buy batteries every few months, no thanks. Time for change.

[@JordanHetrick]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! You bring up some good points for sure.

[@StillActiveProductions]

I really want your book wish you had paperback for DJI Action 5 Pro. Appreciate the good video

[@JordanHetrick]

Thanks and you're welcome. I wish it was available for you now, but when it is, there will also be a paperback edition for the Action 5 Pro. I'll let you know in this comment when it's available. Thanks again!

[@buikemm]

Go pro 13 colors clearer than that of Action 5. But if you are into video editing you'll know that isn't a problem, it's just different tones both companies use. You can adjust the action 5 colors to look better. The action 5 will be far better quality and buy due to their heat and battery management which is always a problem for Gopro. Gopro just got a magnetic clip which DJI had years ago. It's just like IPhones getting features that android had many years ago and the fans rejoicing like it's game changing.

[@JordanHetrick]

Thanks for your input! Yes, of course, colors and tone can be edited, like I said in the video. The Action 5 Pro performs really, really well in terms of heat and battery life!

[@djentlover]

It would be amazing if DJI enabled different color profiles. You could make a color calibration profile that resembles the gopro. However, I think gopro uses better exposure metering, and I have no idea how to chase that with the dji

[@AC-lt5ro]

DJI, insta360, etc. don't offer unlimited cloud storage like the go pro subscription. Nothing like coming home from a road cycling ride and letting all my footage offload to the cloud. 
Also the United States 🇺🇸 is currently pursuing a DJI ban… All of these factored into me upgrading from my Hero 9 Black to the 13 Black more appealing especially considering the longer battery life and improved heat dissipation...

[@JordanHetrick]

Thanks for sharing! By the way, I think the ban would only be on drones if it were to ever pass.

[@naizondj]

Honestly, there's no point in buying the Action 5 if you already own the Action 4. It's mostly for people who do unboxing videos and reviews, and many of them are paid to promote it. People should start making better content with what they already have instead of constantly buying new bulls*hit products. I can even outperform the Action 5 just by using a built-in cube light on top! However, if you own the Osmo Action 3, upgrading to the Action 5 might be worth it. Personally, I'd go for a used Osmo Action 4 instead! Thing smart!!! 💪

[@AbelVlogsRD]

GoPro looks better in the day. DJI looks better at low light. DJI stabilisation in slow motion almost doesn’t exist. GoPro battery doesn’t last that much At the end of the day, they’re both great cameras

[@MrJazith]

⁠if you can tell them to fix color accuracy like go pro to match it. By firmware update. Still go pro color is good. I watch many reviews about both camera

[@anthonyhershko]

Amazing video!! Is the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro better than Insta360 Ace Pro?

[@JordanHetrick]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I haven't had time to thoroughly compare the Ace Pro with the Action 5. It's always different than what I expect when I see them side by side.

[@LMOF01]

Gopro13 colours look better and the upcoming anamorphic lens will be great!!!

[@JordanHetrick]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@sageallenneil]

I dont own any of them. Watching from my s23 ultra on QHD display mode and 2160 youtube. The GoPro looks better daylight. AP5 only for low light.

[@3asylife]

As a water sports influencer, there is no question that the DJI OSMO 5 delivers better in so many ways and has a great price. Been a loyal GoPro user for years and produce 1 video a week on my channel and know what I'm doing. But GoPro has been left behind.

[@JordanHetrick]

Thanks for sharing your opinion!

[@PRIELATV]

This time I'm upgrading to DJI action osmo 5 because of the low light superiority vs gopro.

[@JordanHetrick]

If you are filming a lot in low light, the Action 5 is the way to go.

[@Natureboy-w1e]

Which one have heat most?

[@JordanHetrick]

The GoPro definitely heats up more than the Action 5, but both get hot after a long recording time in hi res or high frame rates.
