Pete, cameras editor here at Tom’s Guide, and I test out every action camera there is, from the Osmo Action 5 Pro through to the GoPro Hero13 Black and Insta360 Ace Pro. The DJI just has the best blend of features, design and price to make it the winner. That’s why you shouldn’t pass up on this deal.
In my DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro review, I awarded this camera 4.5* and was particularly impressed by the updates made to the camera over its predecessor, the DJI Osmo Action 4. If you’re gonna add “Pro” to the name, you’ve gotta justify that, and DJI did so.
Big improvements
The OA5 Pro features improved stabilization (the place where its predecessor was lacking) and two beautiful new OLED displays, which are not only easier to use and nicer to look at, but feature a low energy mode for reduced power draw and improved battery life.
On the topic of batteries, the OA5 Pro features upgraded 1,950mAh batteries, for a whopping 112 minutes of 4K/60p runtime in my testing. That’s 32 minutes longer than the Hero13 Black in the same test.
As a DJI product, the OA5 Pro blends in seamlessly to the DJI ecosystem and can be hooked up wirelessly to the fantastic DJI Mic 2 or DJI Mic Mini.DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro (Adventure Combo)
DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro (Adventure Combo): was US$449 now US$369 at Amazon
The DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro is our favorite action camera for very good reason. It packs 4K video, fantastic stabilization and strong internal audio (not to mention wireless hookup to DJI mics) inside a beautiful, compact body. Major updates over the previous model make this a worthy purchase, and the accessories in this Adventure Combo (including extra batteries and a charging case) will prove extremely useful to outdoors abd adventurous creators.
