The BEST Motorcycle Action Camera is HERE…it’s not a GoPro! | DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro

[@parkr7530]

its mind blowing to see how far action cams evolved in such a short period of time... DJI is in its own league! with the action 5 pro DJI just teabagged every other action cam out in the market

[@chaseontwowheels]

Yea I had that realization while I was filming this video. Literally what like the matrix glitched to allow for such big improvements so fast.

[@monkasphalt]

because gopro now has competition...

[@habhenPOV]

OC: at 18:11 you can set the front display to show the whole scene. Just swipe down from live view, and it's the bottom right icon. This has been a feature on the Osmo Action 4. Don't know about the previous ones though. I'm sold. Just seeing the 2 mics feature alone, just take my money. I need a 2nd angle for my motovlog anyway lol

[@Deni_Ro]

No way! *runs to fix that issue now

Something i like the most is the connection of 2 dji mic's now. You can litterly drive and do an interview at the same time now!

already tested the best exhaust placement. Some sort of fixation to the back of the number plate - ive done it and tested it and its Thumby and crunchy crisp and all the above!!

[@louietl4942]

There is a little bit of vibration on video when riding but I imagine it can be fixed easily. Apart of that is a solid upgrade 4 sure

[@chaseontwowheels]

yep, issue was Chase didn't have the shutter speed set correctly. Totally agree though

[@ridemxllc]

I was also noticing this same symptom. Looks like shutter too low for frame rate?

[@HellbellyUK]

@@ridemxllc Its "jitter" from the stabilisation not having sharp enough frames to stabilise. You'd either need to up the shutter speed to 1/100 or higher to maybe turn off the stabilisation in camera and do it in post with Gyroflow.

[@BornaBorcic]

Can't be fixed easily, you're either losing stabilization or increasing the shutter speed and therefore killing the sense of speed.

[@GGKtm]

how about the audio quality when high speed for helmet set up with the mic 2?

[@RiderInRed]

Not gonna lie, I don’t get the absolute HATE on GoPro… and I just heard the Sponsored part… it almost feels like DJI asks people to dunk on GoPro in their reviews. I’ve had a GoPro hero5 since day 1 and have a GoPro12 and they’ve both been flawless for me. I’ve had may be 1-2 SD card errors here and there but we’re talking about YEARS of usage. I get that Action 4 or 5 might be good or even better, but the sheer “dunking” on gopro i feel like is uncalled for. Idk

[@2Wheels2Relax]

I think part of it is saying something like that is gonna get more clicks. But that's more KZbin's fault than any creator

[@jackson_foto]

The hate comes from them failing as the most in opportune times possible. When your paycheck depends on it working every time it makes a big impact on your perception. My first ever press launch my GoPro 10 bricked itself and it ruined the entire plan for the day. I’m not sponsored bu any camera companies, but do create brand content full time for a living and the Action 4 has been absolutely flawless across hundreds of shoots

[@chaseontwowheels]

Based on the people I talk with it's a luck of the draw thing. Some people report zero issues while others (myself included) have had TERRIBLE luck with GoPros ever since the Hero 9 black or something around then. Lost files, batteries expanding, camera shutting off for no reason. If you haven't had a problem then consider yourself lucky.

[@2Wheels2Relax]

I've not had mine give me ANY issues BUT I am still using the hero8 black... So if most of the issues came after that, it could be why I've not been soured by issues

[@RiderInRed]

@@chaseontwowheels I might be lucky! But I might also be an average GoPro experience. I mean it’s not like GoPros don’t sell anymore cause they all have major issues, no? The brand would’ve gone bankrupt. PS. I do use GoPros for professional production work too and they seem to be solid honestly. May be I’ve skipped the horrible generation that you mentioned since I haven’t used 9 to 11. Might be worth trying out the 12/13 and doing a review on those! Otherwise, I see DJIs competition as beneficial for both camps haha. Cheers!

[@andretheseal9837]

looking forward to picking this up on black friday

[@veez-t7m]

Im really curious, how are you able to seperate audio tracks to manipulate each mic/ exhaust and mic sound. Doesnt it get put into the same audio track? Thanks!

[@FBK-811]

did that mean u get out 2 audio tracks separately ?? what app u editing on ??

[@dustin2048]

[@KAWIKATANA]

How is the editing is it harder or easier than gopro and insta360

[@notgamingwithmax]

What's with the jitter?

[@chaseontwowheels]

Lower shutter speed mixed with stabilization. I’m still working on a fix for it.

[@AzuraSnipingHD]

8:04 I’m still trying to figure this out. I have the Mic Mini’s not the Mic 2’s. I don’t know if that makes a difference. Do you adjust the audio on the transmitters in the app on the phone or is there a software on the computer you can download

[@chiguy_]

Does the DJI MIC 2 successfully connect to Action 5 all the time though?? This was a BIG ISSUE for me in Action 4 that I had to go back wired because there were too many times the Action 4 couldnt find my DJI Mic 2 even I paired them before riding and this is a BIG NO for motovlogging. The new action cam looks sick tho and might upgrade but for the DJI Mic 2.. not sure 🤔

[@chaseontwowheels]

From my experience I havent seen that issue and the connection time is MUCH faster on the Action 5 Pro.

[@DomaMotoPH]

@@chaseontwowheels Not even with the Action 4? I actually did my own review on DJI Mic 2 and Action 4 and there were other people who said they experienced the same thing 🤷🏻‍♂️ so I'm curious now if we're just unlucky.. PS. software updates didnt fix the issue

[@landocycle]

I'd like to know the reliability of quick-shot with a 3.5mm lav plugged in, as I don't want another thing to charge or die (wireless mics), also the sound quality of lav adapter. I know some of these cameras forget to record external audio sometimes on quick-shot. Also curious to know how reliable the wireless remote will be. I plan on sticking 2 of these on a motorcycle, and only have a handlebar mounted remote to start/stop them in sync, and ideally keep them off when I'm not recording, so quick-shot feature will be used exclusively. Thanks.

[@32BitMoto]

Looks good! I've had my DJI Action 4 for the last year. Now I want to upgrade! Ugh!

[@JEPPAY]

18:22 there is an option for the front screen on wether you want the entire screen filled (1x1) or you want the actual full shot (16:9) but then it doesnt use the full screen realestate.

[@TwoWheelTex]

OC You ought to push DJI to make a 360 camera. I've used DJI drones and love them, so when I start motovlogging I'll go with this setup, and if they have a 360 cam by then, then I would use that. Just stay in the DJI ecosystem

[@IronPonylife]

That video footage is very blurry while you were riding, look like it was more focused on your gauges

[@zkiel5158]

I also noticed this. Probably because the camera settings was set to take videos with motion blur

[@TheMNB]

Is there a delay when pairing up with the DJI mic 2 after pressing record with the Action 5 pro turned off? I'm still rocking the Action 3 with a wired mic set up and when it's powered off there's about a 3 sec delay after pressing record. Night time recording on Action 3 sucks but the Action 5 pro although a lot clearer still looks very jittery so not sure it's worth the upgrade

[@chaseontwowheels]

I haven’t noticed one myself.

[@fightrider187]

[@muerdelavida]

Great review .. one question .. hoy sturdy is the magnetic mount? I am scared that if I put it in the handle bar .. the camera can jump out ..

[@chaseontwowheels]

The very first time I used the magnetic mount on the Action 4 a year ago I was skeptical too. A year later, lemme tell you NOTHING is bringing that thing off if it's clicked on correctly.

[@zwallin]

Great video, very informative! Thx for all the info!! 🤙🏼

[@JasonRidesmoto]

One thing I noticed on my Action 4 and I see it in this footage too... the micro blur compression type moments that happen... I hate it.. You can see it at 6:39 and continues on throughout your footage. Most wont notice it but I don't ever remember seeing that in GoPro footage. Now I have grown to hate GoPro... I love my Action 4 and will get this Action 5 but what is going on with those moments in the footage? In fact the more I watch your video this is worse than the Action 4. I think if you recorded in FLAT and then color grade it may have less compression from the camera?

[@chaseontwowheels]

That was me not having my shutter speed correct. Normally I would shoot at 2x my frame rate but with the Action 4 (and Im assuming action 5) Im working on what the lowest shutter speed I can have without having this. This will take a ton of testing but right now if you set it to 1/100 it should go away. Hope this helps.

[@habhenPOV]

That's the electronic stabilization effect at low shutter speed. If you want to get rid of that, you need to crank your shutter speed at least at 1/100. Hope this helps!

[@JasonRidesmoto]

@@habhenPOVwhat’s the point of having the ND filters on to lower shutter speed if this is the result?

[@chaseontwowheels]

Even at 1/100 there is still going to be WAY too much light coming into the sensor. The primary benefit is to have a consistent shutter speed so the look of the video remains consistent.

[@habhenPOV]

@@JasonRidesmoto I agree it does ruin the point a little bit. If you plan on using rocksteady with ND filters, you need to use at least 50 or 60fps so you can crank that shutter speed to 1/100 or 1/120. But, if you want to go lower while still having that motion blur, I recommend you to turn off rocksteady completely. Vibrations won't be exaggerated if you mount your action cam to your helmet cuz the human head is a pretty good stabilizer as well

[@Dexx1s]

Not gonna lie. The thing i was really worried about was the price, given that they slapped the Pro label on it. $450 for the Adventure Combo is actually not bad. They could have done without the Pro label if they're not going to release a non-Pro version. One thing though. How much time do you get using the batteries youd get with the Action 4. That would be most important to those that already got say, the Action 4 Adventure Combo, and so, already have 3 batteries.

[@ioandragulescu6063]

well, the battery has 10% more capacity so I guess ... that much more?

How do the mics perform at higher speeds. I use the GoPro 12 with Purple panda mic and at some speeds I will get clipping.

Thanks for the great review. You covered many areas very professionally. A few questions: 1. I assume it accepts BT audio in such as from the new Cardos? 2. Is there good audio gain adjustment and/or AGC so that the level is always good? I had an early generation Osmo that sucked. 3. Can you have a wireless/BT audio and wired audio source at the same time? 4. Do the two audio sources show up as different tracks on the timeline in an editor so you can independently adjust them or turn them off? 5. The clamp helmet mount appears big and clunky. Would you generally use a glue-mounted chin adapter?

[@chaseontwowheels]

Hmm, so audio settings wise make sure you are recording in 32 bit float. Have your sensitivity set to -12 and I would try removing the low cut filter. That gives us the best sound (that you heard in this video)

@@chaseontwowheels I'll definitely try that. I know I am recording 32-Bit float because I sync all the audio up with the video in post.
