It depends a lot on your main usage. I have bought Action 5 Pro, and I bought a wrong camera for me, so I regret it now. Two things which are becoming more and more of a dealbreaker for me to resell DJI. 1. Trumpet solar flares - very unnatural, and weird. I never saw anything similar on any other camera I own(ed) - Garmin, Gopro, Insta 2. GPS remote, telemetry data download possible only into mobile phone with their Mimo app. Just imagine 20GB file to phone, from phone to computer etc.
True. I keep telling this to people who reach out, a good product is the one that will fit your needs and style. Sorry to hear that you’ve been disappointed at the camera. Yeah the flares are pretty weird looking but I’ve managed to get them less as I’m aware of them. Other cameras are harder to avoid, but the shape is probably less annoying
Hi Otto, your reviews are definitely the best on TH-cam!!! I love how you cover all the points and make it crystal clear to make a decision. Thank you so much for these videos.
In my country, the action 5 pro sells for 425 usd and its predecessor sells for 355 usd (excluding extra battery pack and SD card). GoPro 12 sells for 420 usd (the dual battery pack version) and GoPro 13 with no extra battery sells for same 420 usd. Osmo action 4 adventure pack sells for 450 usd. Which camera and which package should I go with if I want to shoot videos longer than 120 minutes without heating and battery drain issue?
The GoPro suffers in low light and for me this is a major issue because I want to use the camera when it gets dark, or indoors. That’s why I don’t use the GoPro except when I need lots of footage for these kind of reviews
hey i like to surf and ride dirtbike and i was wondering what you think i should get i have just enough money to buy them and I would hate to get it and not be happy with it i know it can be annoying having to reply to comments but if you have time it would be much appreciated. thanks
@@Klagzie yeah it’s not an easy choice. So after watching this review what do you think of each camera and how do you think they would fit in your filming?
How do you add some data like speed or power or HR from a garmin edge bike computer to the film ? And which camera do you recommend for road cycling and mountain biking? I have no camera, it would be my first one, I suppose that for this purposes stabilization and image quality would be key factors. And also some quality filming in some trails with some shadows or low light. Also thinking in the ace pro2… Thanks
You have to import the garmin data using a software, or if you get the Ace Pro 2 there is an option to do that in their app (Insta360 app). There are mixed opinions on which one is better, I think you should watch the Action 5 vs Ace Pro 2 video that I made a few days ago as I think those are the best options. GoPro is fine in daylight but when the light is not optimal it doesn’t look good anymore (this doesn’t mean night time).
Is there any jittering in low light super night mode while shooting at 4k 30fps or 60fps, as I had a lot of jittering when making low light footage using the Osmo Action 4?
I get to use my gear in low light too often when I travel or just for regular videos, and in those cases the Action 5 is better, no doubt: that's the one I'd get if I had to choose one. Just to back up my answer, last 3 generations of Gopros have only been in my hands for a short period of time just for these kind of reviews and then I get rid of them. Nothing against them, I sell the equipment I don't use or that I don't think I'd bring with me when I travel
i HATE the action 5 pro because it does WAYYY too much internal processing and when it screws up lightning it screws up BADLY.. ive had to trash so much awesome footage on that camera because post editing SUCKS on the footage that comes out of it.. :/
@@OttoJulian_ i tried them all 8 bit, 10 bit, dlog, HLG.. it just tries to process the image itself and when you try to use manual settings its never correct.. not sure if they updated firmware or anything for it since i got it as its been sitting since i got it..
@camposvazquez if you use max 720 or full HD GoPro 13 will not overheat easly :).. but it is 2024.. 4k 60 or 120 or just charging ( not even fast charge!) and GoPro 13 is on edge thermal problem.
@MaciejJeszkeP we haven't seen that on go12 or gp13 overheating issues 4K/30 ... I am still on a hero 7 black ... I see no need to upgrade to any camera unless it's a gift or I find a super deal... The ap2 and a5p are great cameras but like 95% of people I shoot in light.. GoPro color is still better ..
It’s really about airflow, I’ve found success in no airflow and running max options that I need to set to pal and record at a slightly slower rate. That and WiFi off. This shouldn’t be an issue though and is from using old chips. I would have preferred a new chip set and if needed a slight heavier and larger size for a good heat sink. The new lens options are really cool though. It just makes the downsides more apparent.
What i dont understand about these cameras is; Theres no Contrast edit which would improve DR Doesnt seem to be any colour adjust either apart from set settings And no Histogram view either as i can see wondering if exposure is ok in bright conditions would be a nightmare Neither i dont think are good enough and i think id still prefer a small dslr
Well, the thing is that these were never meant to compete with a mirrorless camera, all your points are valid. When someone needs higher quality and more control over the camera then your choice makes sense. 🙂
@@scubasteve1555 Tons? No sure what you mean by Tons but very few on TH-cam use DSLRs - no reason to with Mirrorless technology. Point is that many folks obviously don't even know what a "DSLR" camera is and they use the term interchangeably with Mirrorless.
This is the best tech comparison video I've ever seen. Bravo.
Glad you liked it!
Definitely Action 5 Pro.
I like to use the manual white balance to get rid of that cool tone.
@@Marian1st. thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I just saw a video and it seems you can directly transfer videos to the computer through the USB mode.
@@supernova82 Yes you can, but you cannot transfer GPS data overlay.

@@dannyo8396 thank you so much for your comment!
Great comparison video! Does that small rig quarter inch attachment come with the action 5?
Thanks! No I bought it for the Action 3 and it still works! I think they made them for Action 2. Same mount
I have been using GoPro for years, unfortunately I bought Osmo Action 5 Pro. But I did not like the image quality at all. What do you think?
@@mesutdemirci2 what do I think? Mmm did you watch the video?
Neither ace pro 2 and action 5 produces cartoonish effect
@@Kevin-hd8ct Even though I reduced the sharpness it is still very sharp and the sky looks a different shade of blue
@@mesutdemirci2 did you try raising the contrast a bit for the sky? Not sure if you are editing in post
So what is your best reccomendation plz?

it's more controlled now compared to the Action 4, but you will still notice it
We would like to provide you with cpl, ND and other filters for AcePro 2 and DJI action 5 for trial. How can we contact you?
this is not the place to contact for that stuff
What is your choice if you had to choose one?

There was a new update about a week ago but not sure if that’s going to fix the issue
Hello 👋
@@worldchampion hey thanks for watching
Dji action 5 pro HDR 4k 120fps available
the HDR is automatically applied on the Action 5, so I'd assume that all frame rates have it
Better to see of Ace pro 2 vs Action Pro 5. Compare with GP13 make no sense it's old tech glitchy overheated potato...
Haals your GP13 been overheating for you .. we have 2 gp13 and 4 go12.. they arent overheating....
@camposvazquez if you use max 720 or full HD GoPro 13 will not overheat easly :).. but it is 2024.. 4k 60 or 120 or just charging ( not even fast charge!) and GoPro 13 is on edge thermal problem.

@@MaciejJeszkeP that video was already done in my channel, and this one is because people asked for it.

Its a £100 cheaper than the rest of the action cams just now aswell!
@@Emtbtoday which one?
obvious reason... DJI action 5 pro!!! Go Pro days are DONE!!
Thanks for sharing your opinion. There are still lots of people that love GoPro. 😄
Are you serious, better compare AcePro 2 vs DJI action 5. I skip this vid
@@DonGivani I already did that video and people have asked for a comparison of these 2 cameras as well. Why do people complain so much lately?

Almost no one uses DSLR cameras anymore. Mirrorless cameras is what you meant.

Tons of people still use DSLR.
You can edit color in post with 10-bit D Log setting.
