Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’m a fan of DJI products and own and love the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. As a result I had high expectations for the DJI Osmo 4K Action 5 Pro. I was not disappointed and was equally impressed by this action cam. DJI makes high quality products and the Action 5 is no exception. Mine is the Adventure Bundle version which is a no brainer purchase since it includes a great selection of accessories at a modest price increase over the standard cam. You get a total of 3 1950 mAh extreme plus batteries, a multifunction charging battery case which holds 3 batteries, 2 magnetic quick release mounts, 2 locking screws, a protective frame, a 1.5m extension rod / selfie stick, a usb c cable, a curved adhesive base, and a action anti-slip pad. I think that’s a ton of value for your money particularly to have 2 extra batteries and a charging case which doubles as a power bank which can charge your other mobile devices in a pinch. Note that there is no microsd card included in this bundle but you’re ready to record anyway, because the Action 5 Pro is equipped with 47GB of internal storage. This is fantastic upgrade compared to the competition. No need to ever worry about forgetting your SD card. Setup is easy. Just pop in a battery and turn the cam on. You’re prompted to get the DJI Mimo app and to activate your camera. DJI Mimo is super nice and full featured app and is a perfect compliment to DJI products. You’re also prompted to update your cameras firmware which was quick and easy. Once complete you’re ready to roll. I have owned action cams before and I use them them for recreational and work related activities. I’ve recorded bike rides, hikes, vacations, pets, amusement park rides, water sports, work presentations, training videos, presentations, nature time lapse videos, etc. I intend to do all of the above with the Action 5 Pro. Upon using the Action 5, I was immediately impressed. The build quality is exceptional. It feels pretty indestructible as you would hope for in an action cam. The cam has a multitude of settings and the menu is extremely intuitive to use. Just swipe to find your resolution and capture mode settings. You can also switch modes using the Quick Switch button on the side of the camera and you can even use voice commands to start and stop recording. The OLED display brightness is 1,000 nits and are super bright and crisp even in bright sunlight. Its waterproof to 65.6 feet which makes for some great underwater creativity. The Action 5 Pro has a 40 megapixel 1/1.3 sensor which can capture up to 13.5 stops of dynamic range. I found video quality to be stunning with beautifully sharp and saturated 4K video. For me one of the highlights of the Action 5 Pro is its low light capabilities. I recorded some night street scenes which I was skeptical would look good due to low light in the areas I was recording but which ultimately looked exceptionally good. This low light flexibility is so important if you’re perhaps on vacation and recording in a bunch of environments with various levels of ambient lighting. With the Action 5 you don’t need to worry about getting a great shot regardless of light. Just make a day of it and look forward to some great footage documenting your adventures. Some would say that you can get very close to the same level of video with just a cell phone. This is true in a sense but the Action 5 provides so many additional benefits and features beyond your phone’s camera. Including, image quality with 4K video up to 120 fps, great low light performance from the 1/1.3 sensor, amazing time lapse and slow motion capabilities, RockSteady 3.0 stabilization for super smooth footage in all condition, and HorizonSteady for impressive horizon correction. Then of course throw in the waterproof capabilities to 20m, the dual DJI microphone support, and it’s ruggedized body and frame and no cell phone can compete. In fact, neither can the action cam competition. You won’t be disappointed.

I would like to think I am an avid user of action cameras stemming all the way back to when GoPro was the only player in the space, pretty sure it was the hero 3! The offerings in this category have changed a ton and with this newest version of the DJI action, competition has never been stronger for this camera segment. When you think of the Action line iterations from the Action 3 to Action 4 there was marginal upgrade, BUT when you compare the 3 versions, the 5 Pro takes significant leaps in what this camera is capable of vs the prior 4th generation. Battery life, video resolution, screen brightness and max photo resolution are all serious gains from the Action 4 to 5 Pro. For anyone using action cameras all these boil down to supporting the argument for best action camera EVER! At least until next generations! For me personally, the image quality and battery life are the two main selling points when you consider over the past 3 generations camera dimensions and weight have been constant. A feat to high five DJI engineers over for sure! I also enjoy the camera interface over GoPro as well as the mobile app. DJI has done a wonderful job of supporting the newer users with intuitive interfaces but allows the savvy to get wicked creative with manual settings to get the most epic content. The switch to OLED makes all the difference when it comes to being able to interact with the camera touchscreen to manipulate modes and settings. This is the future of action camera screens. Additionally, one unique element for DJI action cameras is the quick release mount design, which is a combination of magnets and physical clips, together this makes mounting and attaching the camera to all accessories super quick and connections are sturdy. SuperNight mode is enhanced with the 5 Pro and my experience has been positive. There have been a few neat opportunities between aurora borealis and super moon timing to really challenge using this camera in lower light environments, I can confidently say it didn’t disappoint. I can’t say its perfect as it uses AI to “enhance” but if you compare to past generations improvements are made to support capturing action in lower light. One of the new features for the 5 Pro is subject tracking, I have only scratched the surface on using this feature but following one of my sons around our local mountain bike trail was way for fun for me because the camera kept him in focus in front of me, something I had to do more manually in the past with older models. The slow motion and time lapse (hyper lapse) settings remain the same but have enhanced video settings and are super fun to utilize to spice up getting some really fun videos. Another new feature is DJI adding a professional-grade pressure sensor to allow users the ability to overlay their altitude or depth when under water during all recordings. This element adds another way to summarize your outdoor activity. I did have to manually calibrate mine the first time using to ensure accuracy. For anyone expecting to put this camera though its paces and use it like it was intended to be used, plan on getting the adventure bundle. The extra batteries and “selfie” pole will both become excellent additions to your gear. I use both constantly! Overall, I highly recommend the Action 5 Pro to anyone looking for a rock solid, adventure ready action camera to capture all their outdoor moments. DJI is continuing to make a name for itself with quality products. I am excited to continue using this to capture all the adventures we have planned.

The DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro is a super standout in this new generation of Osmo action cameras. There are some passive features with this generation that really separate it from its competitors in my testing. I am not a wizard video editor. I do have experience dating back to high school when I took years of TV Production classes, but in general I am just an enthusiast who doesn’t have the time to invest into color grading and intense video editing sessions. I just want to fire this camera up, go to one of my presets and start filming. So, if you are like me, just wants to setup the basic settings like what framerates, resolutions, and put most things on auto, then listen up because this review is for you. Most of my filming has been in 4K60 and 4K30 with things like shutter speed set to auto. In my testing this camera has adapted beautifully in all lighting conditions to provide a useable image. I have used it while freediving in clear water where I go into shaded and bright areas. Regardless of the underwater lighting conditions the camera always adjusted lightning quick and provided a usable image for a quick edit. I also briefly tested the low light performance, and I was blown away with how great it was for such a small camera. If you tend to film in lower light conditions then you will be very impressed with what this camera is capable of. Talking about filming underwater, there is a new feature on this camera that makes it a gamechanger for freedivers and even shallow water diving. With other action cameras typically, you hit the depth limit around 30ft without a dedicated housing. Even for freediving that’s pretty shallow. It makes a housing a necessity or requires you to keep the diving shallow. With this new DJI camera you get a little more than 60ft. In the freediving world that’s astronomical. For most recreational freedivers that is near their limits which gives you lots of peace of mind. Battery life has always been a struggle with these small action cameras. One of the most mind-blowing aspects of this DJI camera is that I never really think about battery life anymore. If I have the three included batteries charged with the Adventure Combo, then I haven’t had a single issue. I get several hours of filming out of each battery which I have never experienced before with action cameras. The build of the OSMO Action 5 Pro is extremely well designed and built. The size of the front display is excellent and allows you to keep yourself in frame when self-filming. The rear display is bright and very responsive. I love the brightness because most of my filming is outdoors in sunny Florida. The bottom mount is different from what I’m used to but it’s a great system for mounting. It looks like it can be adapted for use with other action cameras mounting systems also, that’s a huge plus. If you want a camera that runs for hours on a single charge, performs well in low light, has excellent video features, and just works, then you probably cannot find a better action camera right now. I have no experienced a single hiccup during my testing and have been blown away by what this camera is capable of. I don’t think you will be disappointed if you go with the OSMO Action 5 Pro.

I used GoPro before and then tried Insta 360 Go3S but none of them got enough to get over 3 stars from me. This A5Pro is truly a 5 star product so far... Could it get any better in the future? Sure, God knows what DJI will come up with for A6Pro and then A7Pro and so on and on... But as of 2024-2025 season this "IS" the action camera to purchase... Especially if you get the Adventure Bundle! 3 batteries, 18 minute charge time to 80% level in its quick charger, 48 GB Internal storage in addition to whatever capacity micro SD card you add on to it. Unbelievable image quality whether sunny or cloudy day or even night time... Whether you are a Beginner, intermediate or pro at whatever you plan to do with a camera this A5Pro will make you feel like a pro! I use a 128GB micro SD Card and that gives me 2,5 hr recording time at 4k resolution... When and if that fills up then you can switch to internal storage for almost another hr of recording. 3,5 hr recording without even switching a memory card or battery is unheard of between other brands. One of the most important things to me was the "OVERHEATING" issue the GoPro and Insta 360Go3s was suffering from. They were shutting down due to overheating while I was just trying to record a 3-5 minute long scenery clip while I am flying with an error message on the screen. Yes, I am a pilot and I record scenery videos while flying but not when the camera overheats and shuts it off. Other cameras were suffering the heat issue after 30 minutes and they were like holding a hot potato! Especially Insta 360 GO3S...and after 45 minutes recording (not continuously) they were shutting off. I recorded longer clips with this A5Pro for 2 hrs with no heat related issues whatsoever. That sold me there! I knew I did the right thing buying this DJI OSMO ACTION 5 PRO, if you buy one, you'll feel the same!

DJI Osmo Action Pro 5- I have resisted getting one of these camera for a long time. I travel a lot and found my iPhone just as effect as an all in one package vs carrying around more stuff. However, I finally gave in and looked into these action cameras. I am glad I did because I consider it an improvement in video quality. The DJI comes with a portable charger and 3 batteries, a sturdy clip in metal style case, barrel holder, and cables. Nothing needed extra to buy, expect maybe an SD card for more memory. It has a front screen for selfies and a full sized back touch screen- the front is also touch screen just smaller but works well for selfies. The screens are bright and sharp and is OLED. The menu is mostly intuitive, but I have found it a challenge sometimes. The clip-in case has an excellent feel, does add some bulk to the camera but is a must have to protect the camera. The battery charging case is efficient, and charges quickly, up to all three battery at one time. Battery life in the camera is decent, and I haven't used it long enough for single shoots to run out of battery- yet- but its good to know back up is nearby. It is rated at about 4 hrs. The camera will shut itself off if not in use. The camera is awesome in terms of quality of pictures/ videos, and the sound is extremely good. I played around with image stabilization and it really worked well. The camera includes an adhesive mount so it could be used in the car as a dash cam of sorts, or on a helmit for shoots. Night shots are quite good and bright days are not an issue. I really like this camera, and although it will be something else to carry around, I think it will be well worth the effort.

Never opened the box. DJI is sketchy to put it modestly

The open box was not connecting to phone correctly.

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
