Good info! As per jitter, here are the magic anti jitter settings on the action 5: 4K 30, EIS at Rocksteady (not +), Shutter 1/100-1/8000 (this is very important, you can also quadruple your frame rate to 30FPS at 1/120, 60 at 1/240, etc.,) Texture at -2, Noise Reduction at -1 or -2. In night mode, you can’t adjust ISO. In normal, all these settings apply but make sure ISO is 100-25000. I would make FOV standard but you could use wide. Color is dealers choice, normal or DLOG 10 bit (which you’ll obviously have to grade o in post or in the mimo app). Cool that A5 pro lets you preview the color correction. Out of box the action 5 seems aggressively sharp and bright, especially In super night mode. And without these dialed in (especially high iso and 1/120 shutter or higher) micro jitters are bad. Hopefully firmware will address some of this but with these settings dialed in, footage (especially in low light) looks very promising. No jitter at all with these, even when walking or driving at night!
Such a great review! Thanks for comparing and showing different types of darkness areas. Real life areas people might think of using them in. Keep up the good work! Appreciate your work and time!
I purchased the Ace Pro 2 and am feeling the same way and am making a video on my first impressions soon. I think the conclusion is that these are still action cams, meant to be taken in situations where you wouldn't want to take other cameras, like in or around water, boating, cycling, etc. They are not yet ready to be primary vlogging cameras like a Pocket 3, or even your cellphone when you don't have that. Google has been working behind the scenes a lot on their Night Sight Video, as well, I believe. I also put it up against the Ace Pro 2 and Pocket 3 as a "joke" and it had the best image in a super lowlight situation.
not really, it just needs a bit more post processing that is happening in device in the OA5 Pro 😂😂 the OA4 night footage is actually more realistic than its next generation outcome
that half indoor evening shot test was a brilliant idea 💡
(no pun intended 😂😂)

I will try this, also this weekend I will play with all settings to make this camera work.... :D
Pixel looked great. was that the front facing selfie camera or the rear camera?
REAR Main Camera

I do agree :)

Depends 😉
I still use Action 1 and I like it. :)
