Customer Ratings & Reviews

Never using DJI before and coming from a few other action cameras in the past, I was eager to see what the newer kid on the block offers to put itself on the radar. First impression when opening up this product was the quality feel of the entire package. Everything from the extension rod, battery case, and of course the camera felt extra premium with a nice weight to it. No cheap plastic or any flimsy accessories, and I especially like the extension rod. Because it’s been awhile since I’ve used one of these, I went to the free video courses offered by DJI to maximize my understanding of their features. They offer a Beginner, Elementary, and Advanced-level video courses online for free. Anyways, setting the camera up was a bit more of a process than I expected. First off, you can’t just turn the camera on and start using it, you need to activate it with their Mimo app. I think it will let you use it without activation for a set number of times, but you basically need an app to get it fully functional and to update the firmware. Secondly, with Android, they don’t offer the app in the Play store for some reason, so you have to side-load it. Well my Android had Google’s Advanced App Protection enabled which doesn’t allow you to side-load apps. Once I figured out how to disable it, it takes up to 24 hours for it to update on your phone, which I had to wait until the following day to install the app. However, I have an iPad and it worked seamlessly, so I ended up setting the app up on both iPad and Android phone. The accessories in this particular bundle are great, which I highly recommend this package if you don’t already own a previous DJI camera. The 2 quick release adapter mounts are genius! Its magnetic so you can only put it on the correct way, and it seems to lock it in securely and it makes switching accessories a quick process. The Protective Frame is a nice bonus, because it does offer protection to the camera without adding a lot of bulk and gives you the added option of mounting the camera vertically. The cherry on top is the extra batteries and charging case to make sure you can keep shooting. Once I updated the firmware and was able to start using it, the first thing I noticed was how snappy it was! Touchscreen menu is responsive and has almost no lag to it. Taking a photo or video from standby mode is SUPER fast! This is a huge bonus to help capture those quick moments you don’t want to lose from loading the camera up. Probably one of the fastest click-to-shoot action cameras or even phones I’ve ever used. Once I got familiar with navigating the menus and interface, the rest was quite simple. The menu is easy to understand for those of us who aren’t professional photographers, and it also has a layer of more complex photographic options for those that are. So the camera itself seems to perform quite well. Photographs and videos are gorgeous and full of detail with 4k quality selected. I did experience some weird artifact/light object in my photos that came from the sun as you can see in the attached images, but it only appears when the sun is in the image. Image stabilization, being just on the standard ‘Rock Stead’, was impressive. I attached the camera to my golf cart and rode it around the neighborhood and between the streets and my golf cart, the whole thing rattles and shakes during the drive. Watching the video it looked like the smoothest drive ever, you couldn’t even tell I was going over speed bumps. Super Night mode really lights up the area, both indoors and outdoors, but outdoors gets a much better picture as long as you get the right time of day. It won’t work well if its too dark, but as long as there is some light you can still get some good footage. Even though the Super Night mode is for videos, the Photo mode will automatically adjust to the lighting environment, enhancing the image brightness. One feature I’m not that impressed with, is voice command. The camera has 4 built-in voice commands, which I think is great when using the extender or a mount that is not easily reachable to take the snapshot. I usually have to repeat myself twice or more for it to pickup the command. It might be my voice tone or background noise causing some issues, but I have yet to get it consistently working on the first try in quiet or noisy environments. Hoping for software improvements on this. I do recommend using an iPad/tablet for connecting to the camera to view the media or perform edits. The larger screen makes it look so much better when previewing or watching full quality media! Wireless transfer rates of media from the camera to the Mimo app are very good! Most photos are instant while videos usually only take a few seconds depending on size. I was able to move a 1.3GB video in under 20 seconds to my iPad! The Mimo app has also been pretty decent as far as its capabilities on both Android and iOS (iPad), stable and works fairly well. No crashing or functional problems that I’ve ran into and seems to connect without issues to the camera. Overall, I really like this camera and look forward to using it on my honeymoon coming up. Underwater footage is nice and clear when I tested in a pool, and with depth/altitude readings it will be great tracking our adventures in detail on our trip. I’m hoping future firmware updates make this camera even better (hopefully the voice command feature), and for my personal needs I am impressed with what this little device offers. Battery life has been exceptional, been on one battery and its lasted most of the day during my setup and initial testing, and recharge time is quick…like you’ll get a nice recharge within minutes and on top of it the battery holder acts as a battery charge for your phone or any other usb C device. I like having the built-in storage for a backup and don’t use it for primary, but some you may not even need to buy a microsd card. For my first DJI product, I’d say the Action OSMO 5 is a great contender in this market.

I’ve known DJI for their drones, but I was not aware of their involvement in the action camera business. The Osmo Action Pro 4K Action camera is a worthy competitor in the market for action cameras. This model comes as an ‘Action bundle’ that includes a protective case, a 3-battery charger case with 3 batteries, 2 mounting kits. The small camera is unobtrusive and has a little weight that gives it the feel of quality. The first thing you notice are the front and rear OLED touch screens that can be very bright when used in sunny outdoors. The camera is fairly simple with a power button on the side, a shutter/record button, the battery compartment where you can add an SD card; I’m not sure if there are limits to the memory size but the camera itself comes with 64GB of memory. There’s also an access to a usb-c connection to either charge the battery or to access the memory with a phone. Out of the box, the set-up was quick and easy. It was a bit unusual to me that the app was not readily available on the Google store, since I have an Android. I had to download it from the QR code appearing on the camera screen when turned on for the first time. The connection was done without issues and it’s been reliable since. The app has a good user interface with many options. Also, once connected, the phone serves as a third screen that controls the camera. Now for the performance, I was very impressed. The 4K quality is first rate with vibrant colors and crisp images. There are several shooting options and image exposures and the stability software excels. The Pro option gives you even more image settings. Besides the regular functions such as taking a picture, straight recording and time lapse, I was dazzled by the quality and smoothness of the slow motion mode, all in glorious 4K. I have a highly energetic German shepherd dog at home and capturing his acrobatics in slow motion are something to see. I also tried the hyperlapse feature which I had never seen before. It’s basically a time-lapse function where the camera is moving through the action and compiles it into a short video. I used hyperlapse with the camera mounted on the front wheel of a modified electric scooter going down an empty road with many curves reaching close to 50 miles per hour. I found it very original and stunning. I didn’t try much of the night vision mode but it seems to be performing well. DJI claims that the camera can be immersed more than 50 feet without needing a waterproof case. I never got to try that yet but some of my scooter actions were shot in those occasional South Florida heavy rains and it performs flawlessly. I would say the wet sequences had a cool effect. So far, the battery life has been good, plus the three batteries included in the bundle removed all my worries. I really like the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro 4K Action camera for its solid quality build and stunning picture. It packs many features that professional adventurers and creators are looking for and it performs admirably. I’ll definitely recommend it. It’s been a great find.

I’ve been using the **DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro** for a while now, and I’m genuinely impressed. The video quality is top-notch, especially with the 4K at 120fps and how smooth the RockSteady stabilization is—it makes a huge difference for action shots. I also love that it’s waterproof without needing a case and works well even in cold weather, which is perfect for outdoor trips. The dual OLED screens are super clear and bright, even in sunlight. Battery life has been great, and the built-in storage has saved me a couple of times when I forgot my SD card. The colors can be a bit too saturated out of the box, and the touchscreen could be a little more responsive, but overall, it’s easily one of the best action cameras I’ve used.

This is a perfect Osmo Action 5 Pro a wonderfully versatile gimbal, great for filming your next outdoor excursion in 4k. The video stabilization is particularly good, which makes even the bumpiest rides and hikes look smooth. I especially like the sturdy build. It is a waterproof and shockproof, so feel free to take it in your outdoor adventures. Quickly shift your preferences while driving using the sensitive touchscreen and tactile buttons. It could be better for extended shooting, but it's still pretty good. At the same time, quick-charge is a real life-saver. In the end, this camera is a great option for those who would like to shoot some nice action shots but don't want to carry lots of stuff around. I particularly enjoyed the crystal – clear footage, great for sharing it on social! I really like their slow, controlled shots they even during the most hectic moments. The design meets durability, meaning it's built for the elements. And it is easy to use even for the beginner as well with this intuitive controls. Battery life could be longer but the quick charge feature is a lifesaver when shooting. I could easily charge it during lunch. While the touchscreen responds quickly, I did struggle to navigate my way around first time with such a complex menu system. But, I had the hang of it after my first visit.

Action cams have many brands, only 2 seem to be professional grade products at the top of their class. DJI with the Osmo 5 Pro might have just edged out the other guy who started this category. I am not a massive adrenaline junkie that really knows how to show what action cams can do. I am an everyday guy and enthusiast who will and does attach cams to my e-bike, kayak, truck and body on occasion. It has only been a week with a few outings to test the camera. So far, running the camera on mostly auto settings, image/audio quality and battery life have been stellar. Maybe there are tweaks for even better quality and some pictures probably will get even sharper when tweaked. Out of the box auto is a really good start. Kit includes: You get 3 batteries with USB-C charge dock and cable, safety cage, couple magnetic mounts and very nice and long selfie stick. Plus now that DJI includes 48GB of built in storage, your day trips might be good to go even if you forgot to buy/bring your SD card. DJI has thrown the kitchen sink into this camera and dialed everything up to be the best camera in the action camera class. Basic Setup: I'll start off with I tested this in full auto settings. I have almost enough knowledge to choose some settings, but often it is best to see what the maker thinks is best for those who just turn it on and go. I went with 4k/60 video with Rocksteady and 16:9L for photo. There are far too many other options and pro settings to list. Just know it is a professional camera for those who know best how to use the additional features and settings. Youtube has many experts to help explain features and dial the settings in depending on what activity you want to capture. You will also be best served to download the DJI Mimo app to give you remote access to the camera and also have a nice video editor to clean up and condense clips into easier to watch films. The app will also add music to give clips a more polished look without the need to know how to run a video edit suite. e-Bike ride: On my bike the video footage and audio are very good for most of my needs where I don't want/need a dedicated mic in an open environment. Under 15 MPH on trails with paved and bumpy gravel sections, there was no noticeable shake or wind noise. Audio of me talking to the camera mounted on the handle bars was clean and audible. It did pick up a rattle from the bar that tightens my mount, so that will need attention before next use. It also captured the crunch of fall leaves and was easy to hear passing voices as I talked to other cyclist on the trail. Playback was immersive. Using one of DJI's mics would be best for full narration, but most people probably could get away with camera alone and use it as a more durable camcorder. Since most won't watch an hour of bike riding, hyperlapse can put a whole day in to a few minute journey. Different from timelapse setting, which is when the camera is stationary. Hyperlapse takes a snapshot at varied intervals to get a 10 mile ride down to easy to watch minute or so video clip. I went with 1 minute and got a great condensed clip of our 10 mile ride. Not once did the camera complain, get hot or shut down during the hour plus trip. In between video clips I took some photos. Some while stopped and others while riding. Not all were perfect, motion blur at the edges when in full motion. Also some odd fringing on the tree tops that made for a interesting glow. The camera is almost instant to take a picture. From off, to the moment you press the record button. It turns on, snaps the shot, then does few second count down and back to sleep. Amazing, you likely can't get your phone out and ready in the same time. This is perfect for those times an animal darts across the trail, but it took too long to get my camera out. Not anymore. Just press the button. Bonus, if you set up multi shot ahead of time, you will get up to 9 pics when you press the button. The pictures captured are good to great when viewed on tv replay. Again, I did notice a bit of soft edge when zoomed in, but motion or stills, these are easily the best for such a small and quick form factor. I will be adding this to my everyday carry bag. Complaints/issues: The cage to keep the camera safe is a bit fiddly. Yet, it is designed to give more mounting options (portrait/tiktok and landscape) for the magnetic mounts which other cams will quickly steal. Magnetic clip mounts are the superior mounting option. The only other gripe is how extremely hard the power (QS) button is to press. In winter with gloves this could be an issue. At least you won't accidentally press the button if the camera is tossed in a bag. Arthritic joints be warned, test in store if possible. Overall this is the best camera from DJI that is not mounted to a drone. I do think this raised the bar on the competition and time will tell if DJI keeps the crown, or do they get one upped by a new feature.

I use the DJI Osmo Action cameras to video and photograph sporting events. I've had every model from the 1 to this 5 pro so I can speak on its performance compared to its predecessors from experience. To sum it up, this camera is simply amazing. From its video and photo images to the long battery life and everything in between this camera out shines all the previous versions in meaningful and substantial ways. The upgrades to the 5 Pro are not just cosmetic or minor incremental changes, they are very noticeable and tangible differences that make upgrading from the Action 4 a worthwhile investment. I just finished video recording 4.5 sets of tennis including all the down time such as change overs and other court interruptions on a single battery and there was over 8 hours of recording time left on the 512gb memory card that allowed me to record a full tournament in 4k 60 with the additional batteries in the adventure bundle. The camera never overheated in the direct sunlight at the tennis courts, and it didn't drop a frame. I will say that because I've been using all the different previous versions of this camera that it was easy for me to get started and shooting. Having said that, the camera is intuitive and easy to master with loads of online tutorials and how to videos that can guide through every step of the way for using the camera. Now that I've validated the reviews I've read about this camera online, I ordered my second Action 5 pro camera and will start experimenting with multi camera angles using my Atem switcher. I ordered my camera online with Best Buy and they had it ready and waiting for at the neighborhood store. Picking the camera up was a breeze using the QR code sent to me after I purchased it and my purchase was ready at the counter so it took longer for me to walk from the parking lot to the counter than actually picking up the camera!

I’ve been using the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro Adventure Combo for a few weeks now, and it completely exceeded my expectations. I bought it mainly for travel and outdoor activities, but it quickly became my go-to camera for almost everything. The video quality is fantastic, especially with the larger sensor and strong dynamic range — footage looks sharp and vibrant even in challenging lighting conditions. The stabilization is one of the best features. Even when walking or moving quickly, the HorizonSteady keeps the footage smooth and level, which makes a huge difference compared to older action cameras. Battery life is another major advantage. Getting close to 4 hours on a single battery is impressive, and since the Adventure Combo includes three batteries plus the charging case, I never worry about running out of power during the day. I also really like the dual OLED touchscreens — they’re bright, responsive, and make framing shots easy whether I’m filming myself or something in front of me. The subject tracking works surprisingly well for an action camera and helps keep shots centered without needing extra gear.

I’ve been a long time GoPro user and I love that competition is finally catching up and innovating in a space that was once long dominated by just GoPro. DJI’s latest entry into the action camera space has been a welcome one. The Osmo Action 5 is not only a huge improvement to the current Osmo lineup but also in the action camera world. The OLED screens was one of the many standout features of the new Osmo. Not only is the main rear screen an OLED display, the front is also an OLED and touchscreen. OLED renders colors the best and it also allows the Osmo to display a constant status display without taking up much battery life because OLED only needs power to power the actual pixels for the status. Speaking of power, the Adventure combo pack includes a charging case that allows you to not only charge multiple batteries at the same time, but also power your action camera like a battery bank for those super long videos or time lapses. Nearly every action camera on the market has some kind of stability control, but the features that makes this Osmo different than the rest are: 1. OLED screens 2. Industry leading battery life 3. Instant power-on and capture 4. Built in memory 5. Night filming that rivals iPhones 6. AI app to remove your selfie stick DJI has outdone themselves with the Action 5 pro. It’s now both an excellent Vlogging camera and Action Camera rolled into one. The phone app with built in AI editing features has you making Insta ready videos with just a few taps. In summary, I do recommend the Osmo Action 5 Pro to anyone looking for an easy camera to capture your adventures with. The screen, battery life and the ability to shoot in low light is what puts this camera ahead in the action camera line-up.

I am delighted with my Osmo Action 5 Pro camera and accessories. I already owned a DJI drone, which I use several time per week on my ranch to locate the herd in the brush, or take video of water runoff. This Action 5 camera wlll complete my recording options! I have owned other similarly-sized cameras in the past which were used to film various operations on the ranch. The past battery did not have a long life and I always felt cramped by that. This camera comes with three batteries and a slim charging case which can hold all three. This case can easily slip in a back pocket for easy access during action shots. The camera mounts to a four=foot extendable action stick, which can also be mounted on a traditional tripod for easy video of discussions or panels of participants. I do like the magnetic attachment for the camera to the various mounts (purchased separately) because it seems very secure with both a magnet and two clamps. Now for the camera. First, having the DJI Mimo software on your phone ensures they are connected and your action camera is activated. I really find the transfer to phone feature is great since I don't have to pop out a microSD in the wild where I might drop it. My primary use of the camera will be the recording of farm life and goat life. I find the features are just what I need. thesubmject tracking allowed me to film goats in motion, while the slow mo will be fantastic once we start kidding in December. I've had other brand name 'pocket cameras' in the past, but the DJI is definitely the best one I have used. I'm not surprised since I thoroughly enjoy using my DJI drone. Great company and a great package price!

Best camera I've ever had. Compact, fast charging, great video 4k footage, decent battery life, rock solid stabilizer, but best of all lightweight and quick record. Took away one star because of the zoom. It'll be perfect if it can zoom just x4 or x5.

Camera performed way past expectations. Nice setting is fire! Batteries last awhile on the camera. Link to your dji nice also

This is a FANTASTIC bundle! The battery lasts so much longer than our GoPro and the camera itself doesn’t overheat (so far). Love that it has extra batteries, the stick is handy, too. (Lightweight & compact). We are SO happy with this purchase. Takes great video

Much nicer than other well known brand. I needed something to record my daughters basketball games and be able to capture the entire court without loosing resolution. I was about to purchase another brand but decided to do some research, which led me to this DJI. Its extremely easy to use the software works great on my Samsung phone and this particular bundle comes with three batteries, charging case and a nice selfie stick. So far it's been working great for me and the videos looks great. I really do think this is well worth the price and I highly recommend.

The battery life is great. A single battery lasts all day filming hundreds of short clips. It nearly last 3hrs filming a single clip. I got about 6hrs of recording on a timelapse. I barely need the extra batteries, but they're great to have as options to grab and go. I charge them all and they'll keep a charge for months, ready to go whenever I decide last minute to bring the camera. Video quality is pretty good, among the best for action cams. Out of the box, the sharpening is quite heavy. It looks almost as good as modern iPhone or dedicated camera footage when the digital sharpening is turned off and it's set to 10 bit LOG.

Awesome camera. It’s like having a profession full size camera in the palm of your hands. The stabilization on this thing is wild. I have had GoPros my whole life. And thought I would try this after watching some videos and going through some reviews. And it has not disappointed. I am a now a fan of DJI and the action 5. Definitely worth it and the video clarity is amazing

I’ve used a few action cams in the past, but the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro blew me away. The 4K video quality is incredibly crisp, and the image stabilization is top-tier – perfect for high-movement shots like mountain biking or off-roading. The Adventure Bundle is a solid bonus too – you get mounts, extra batteries, and a carrying case, which saved me from buying accessories separately. Low-light performance is way better than I expected, and the front-facing screen makes vlogging a breeze. It’s super intuitive to use, rugged enough for real outdoor use, and the voice control is surprisingly accurate. Battery life is solid, and the magnetic quick release system is super convenient. If you’re looking for a GoPro alternative that competes or even outperforms in some areas, this is it. Highly recommended for anyone serious about content creation or just capturing epic memories in style.

Great for what it is. Gives me the ability to record 10 bit - 4k 120fps - d-log-m without over heating, water water proofing tested on the White river, worked fine after 3 min recording under water. Stabilization is great for what it is, ight mode has a lot of noise but makes beautiful video for landscape. In some cases your phone will do a better job, in some cases it won’t. This thing also feels very solid without the cage and more so with the DJI cage. Mind bogglingly the footage isn’t as good as a mini 3 or 4 pro (by basic viewing standards) you’d figure a larger sensor and form factor would allow for better processing but it doesn’t appear to be the case. (Mini 3/4 and mavic 3 pro owner) never the less this thing punches pretty high for what it does.

To be honest if it was possible I'd give 4 1/2 stars but when the option is 4 or 5 stars. I go with the 5. That is mainly because of the quality of the camera and the image are being perfect. My only issue with these type of cameras is their bulkiness. In certain situations they are not easy to attach and position them in tight areas. But, if you're in the market for a GoPro type of action camera by December 2024 this is the best camera in the market. Great daylight image and great low light performance and with great battery/recording time plus with 2 more additional batteries and quick charger DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro Adventure Pack option this camera is best to cover any type of activity. Even at the highest resolution 3 batteries gives you at least over 6-7 hr recording time without the need of the charging the batteries. Of course while recording with one battery option to charge two other batteries in its quick charger all you need around 20 minutes to bring them 80% full level. Still, the most important issue in my opinion is the "overheating" with these type of cameras DO NOT EXIST with DJO OA 5Pro. I recorded almost 2 hrs (1hr 52 minutes) non stop and nothing happened. Before this one I was using a Insta 360Go3S and that thing was overheating and shutting of after 20 minutes feeling like a hot potato. Remember DJI OA5pro also offering you an internal memory in addition to your micro SD cards you've may use. Shortly, this is an EXCELLENT camera as of Christmas 2024... Who knows what 2025 models will add to their capabilities but so far if you want the best, Buy this one!

This action camera has such great video quality. My main points of this camera are: - Internal Storage - Fast charging - Long Battery life - All the features, Supernight, Hyperlapse, and more I have used this on many trips and very happy with the results. I grab this camera over my phone's camera as its ease of use, and better quality of photos/videos, as well as the wide field of view. Another point to make is your phone's storage. For anyone that does not want to use their phone camera as a main camera due to files eating up much of the storage on the phone, this one's for you. Speaking of field of view, this camera is excellent for point of view, vlogging, and social media content creation. I would recommend this camera for any camera enthusiast.

The DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro isn’t just another action camera—it’s one of the best I’ve used. Amazing stabilization, pro-level image quality, extended battery life, and a rugged design make it an easy 5-star recommendation. If you’re serious about capturing your adventures in stunning detail, this is a must-have.
