Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'll preface this with the fact that I use a motorcycle for my daily transportation needs, and as such it's not really possible to have a dash-cam, so the next best thing is an action camera mounted either on my person, or on the bike. That being said, the Osmo Action 5 Adventure bundle is great for this, the included pack of 3 rechargeable batteries gives me peace of mind on days I need to travel longer distances, I don't particularly have a use for the stick mount that it comes with, but if you are a hiker or a vlogger I can see the use, it's sturdy and extends out nicely. The mounting clip has strong magnets in addition to the physical latch that it attaches with which gives it a sturdy connection that I am pretty confident it isn't going to accidentally come off from. This same connector is on the helmet mount included as well. The included bumper case is pretty sturdy but with how much of this camera is screen I don't think it's going to be all that great in preventing the camera from getting damaged in a more aggressive fall or tumble. But so long as it lands anywhere but the screen or lens, it's probably enough. Overall camera performance is good, the low light performance is a lot better than I was expecting, and since I work before the sun comes up, it's nice to know if something were to happen on my morning ride, I'll have footage that is useable. Just have to remember to set it to low light mode ahead of time. In it's normal recording mode it isn't terrible low light performance but it doesn't transition between dark and bright environments amazingly well. But I don't think any cameras are really great at that, my own eyes arent even that good at that lol. And I was pleasantly surprised to find there's enough built in storage space for just shy of 3 hours of recording time, I don't have a lot of SD cards on hand right now that are fast enough to record at full quality on any of my cameras, so this was a happy find that let me get right into using it out of the box without stealing an SD card from another device. Definitely recommend actually using an SD card in the long run, flash memory is a consumable and does wear out over time and repeated use, so for the longevity of the camera overall, definitely stick to SD cards, but in a pinch this will let you record a good amount of footage. There's a companion app you can download as well, that lets you control the camera, it's settings, and transfer footage to your phone, or tablet, It's functional and does what it says on the tin, and I haven't had any issues with it crashing or locking up my phone. I'm more used to DJI as a drone brand than anything else, so overall I was impressed with how solid this action camera is. Will need to pick up a couple extra bits of mounting hardware to get the most out of it, but this kit will get you started nicely.

I’ll admit, I’m very late to the game when it comes to action cameras. I’ve heard stories of people using them skiing, motorcycling, kayaking, etc., but I’ve never had a real use for them. I always keep asking myself, sure they can capture most of life’s adventures, but who is actually going to go back and watch the footage? It seems that I was missing the point of them all along. It’s not about watching the 2 hour motorcycle ride. It’s about capturing the short, exciting moments that happens in that two hour ride. The quick moose crossing the road, the guy cutting you off, or the celebrity sighting while on the ride. Once I figured that out, I needed to try one myself so I picked up the DJI Action Pro 5 combo set. I was familiar with DJI. I have a Mini 3 drone that they sell. I was not familiar with their action cams though. I had mostly heard about the competitors. I had good luck with DJI in the past, so after reviewing specs, picked up their camera. The combo set comes with the 4k camera, 3 batteries, a battery charger, selfie pole, action mount and frame to hold the camera. You have to provide a micro SD card and a better case than the bag included in the box. The camera was very easy to use. The package came with a QR code that loaded the app which had videos on how to use the camera. There are a number of modes such as still photo, video (of selectable quality and frame rates), night video, and many others. There is a lot of opportunities for customization and creativity, The app isn’t necessary but gives you a lot of tools for controlling the camera. I tried it in several situations. On a bike ride, the picture was crystal clear and very steady. The camera compensated for bumps, and shakes from the ride. I was impressed. My daughter was involved in a Haunted history tour at work. I put the camera in night mode and recorded the whole hour long tour. The picture came out MUCH better than I was expecting given the low light available. I’m still having fun editing the footage for the tour group. I can’t wait to try other projects with the camera. If you’re looking for a sturdy and capable action camera, give DJI a try. You won’t be sorry.

After being a long-time user of DJI drones, this is my first experience with a DJI action camera. My primary interest in the Osmo was to check out the reliability, battery life, and general features. In particular, I wanted to compare this to many action cameras that I have with 'that other brand'. There was no learning curve moving to this DJI unit. Timelapse was my first stop. It was easy to set up on the Osmo and I got many hours of continual use on a single battery. The timelapse motion is smooth and the adjustment for changes in light conditions is also quite good. I also played with changing ISO settings and got decent results for low light and night timelapse. In addition to timelapse, I had good results with slow motion and standard motion. I also had some fun taking some underwater footage on the lake. I particularly like how easy it is to 'snap' on accessories with the magnetic base. It is quite easy to clip and install / release different attachments. Having used the unit for a couple weeks, I was able to check the box on reliability. The unit never froze or had any issues.

So I've been using the action 3 since it came out, and I skipped the action 4. So that is where my thoughts are coming from when it comes to this new action 5 pro. Hardware wise, it's the same. This feels the exact same, but has a bigger front and rear screen. Both of which are much better quality, and appear to be a lot brighter. Very clear when viewing your content for previews of recent recordings. Software. Coming from my action 3, this one is better. I can now connect Bluetooth wirelessly with my DJI mic 2, and my audio is now worlds better. If you record without an external microphone, the audio is still really good. It's actually pretty solid, but I'm a windy environment, it will not sound as good. Video quality. This is a major upgrade from my current action 3, with video being about 50% better. Very stable footage, which is about the same as the previous models. However, this action 5 pro has much better detail in the footage. Which is the most important things about this camera.

I love the device. The battery can keep going for nearly 4 hours. And it only takes 30min to recharge. Also the lense must be hydrophobic becuase I get no water dropplets, the images are all so perfectly clear.

Great Product, great build quality better than gopro 13. Great convenience great software and incredible performance. Great bundle for the money
