I have both, and I definitely see more natural color results in the action 4 than the 5. I usually record in daylight, very sunny conditions, and the Osmo 5 feels more like a Samsung Galaxy saturated colors. The Action 4 feels more like my other mirrorless cameras. The shadow depth, color science,... I don't know what it is, but I regret buying the Action 5.
Action 5 Pro has a better footage underwater and in the lowlight condition. Also, no overheating in 4k 60fps. Just checked this review th-cam.com/video/6xp72I1gAas/w-d-xo.html, and comparing to other opinions.
I watched a lot of TH-cam videos about DJI Action 5 Pro. Not one person said that the ND Filter kits we bought for Action 4 were compatible with 5 Pro. Thank You So Much.
@@andy.underwater.videos an R&D employee said on the DJI forum that they are working on it and it will be released in the next update. Its a really bad move from them to do it in the first place, so I understand you returned yours
In my opinion the Action 4 looks better in nearly all comparisons what you did, even at 8:00 wins the action 4, yes there is a lot more noise but its not that cheap noise its that high quality fine grain noise which can be easily removed in post but the action 5 pro is just dark and i mean yes you can bring up the shadows but this would introduce that cheap purple noise i guess. 4:24 mutch more dynamic range on the action 4, i can see more in the shadows and in the sky on the action 4
I came here for the Conclusion and I'll stick to my OA4 and enjoy it for now. I think I'll just wait for the new battery so I can record longer. Thanks for this great comparison video! :D
Battery Life: DJI Action 5 Pro Display: DJI Action 5 Pro Built in Mic: DJI Action 5 Pro Stabilization: Tie Dynamic Range: DJI Action 5 Pro Detail: DJI Action 4 (for example: clouds looks better and more detail) Low Light: DJI Action 5 Pro
Noise reduction = Loss of detail just for everyone's info. If the 5Pro has a higher setting of noise reduction as standard, then it will likely loose detail.
If you use the action camera as a professional, meaning you earn money from it, then it's worth it. If you use the action camera for occasional filming for yourself, then it's clearly not worth it. The differences are not major, but all together, they make it worth switching to the new camera, provided you film and this brings you money so that it is worth the investment.
Thank you for your review. How does the image quality compare to the Pocket 3? What are the best settings on both camera’s (in normal colour) in order to obtain a simulair image (exposure, colour)? Action 5 and Pocket 3 are complementary camera’s in use, so both should output footage that match, to be able to use it together in one project.
As a complete beginner, thank you for all your comments ! I was about to buy a brand new Action 5 Pro but as I read y’all’s comments I don’t think it’s worth it considering I’m not a professional and it’s only for occasional videos for the moment 🎉 thanks I’m gonna save my money ! 😂
I'm looking to get my first action camera and I've been looking at the osmo action 5 pro and obviously the osmo action 4, I'm not really sure which to get the main consern is that I'm not sure if paying 150$ more for the action 5 pro (skiing combo) is worth it I'm looking to use this camera when I'm on vacation or snowboarding please let me know what you think I should do.
Awesome honest review. I just picked up my first action camera, being the Action 5 Pro. Happy with it so far. I'm still learning, should the mic for voice control commands struggle to hear each command, finding it not always responding to take photo. Using this as a travel family camera, so will take photos along with videos. Hopefully, they will be good enough. I didn't know the pocket 3 was the better Camera , so fingers crossed this is good enough. Also ive attempted to unscew the lens, i can't do it, it feels stuck. Should it be so tight? Is there a technique, just twist anti clockwise or is there a trick to it?
Thanks for raising the noise reduction / mushy shadows issue as well as the bitrate. For detailed fast motion scenes the bitrate cap is especially problematic, and a regression over the 4. A firmware update can't come soon enough.
Hey Roma, I live in your corner of your world too, over in Vietnam and ride a lot of motorcycle. I got the Action 5 but so far have been disappointed in the stabilization when mounted to the handlebar of my bike. Granted, I ride a big single cylinder bike that shakes a lot, but I was surprised the action 5 couldn’t handle it. My insta360 GO3, which is worse in every other way, handles being mounted to the handlebar just fine. Do you have any experience with this? Just wondering if I somehow got a faulty unit, but I doubt it.
@@Romafedorov to be fair it was in low light (but not night) conditions in night mode so I think the shutter speed was slow. I rebated again in normal video mode and day light and it one video was fine, but another, which was started indoors as I walked outside and got on the bike was not. I understand now it needs a higher shutter speed for stabilization to work, but is it able to adjust shutter speed while filming automatically? The video that started indoors and ended ok the bike with poor stabilization suggests not. Sorry, I’m a beginner with all things video, but I learn a lot from your videos.
The 5 as most advantage on low light and dynamic range. But from multiple videos the 4 as right now pulls out more details. Even on the beginning of your video the clouds look more detailed on the 4 and more natural. The 5 looks over saturated at times. Just my opinion Until they fix bitrate that seems a main concern on details..I don't see the point to jump on the 5
Can you please confirm that on the action 5 pro both screens show live display simultaneously *while recording video* at 4k120 (and if not, at 4k60)? This was a limitation on the action 4 and I cannot find if this was fixed.
@@Romafedorov Roma, you're amazing! I forgot to mention - can you verify this work with horizon balancing (the +-45 degree one) on as well? I found this limitation in the action 4 so annoying as it Meant I couldn't easily take those videos where I'm transitioning from shooting forward to turning the camera back to me for selfie videos in one shot. I don't know why no one mentions this in their reviews. Thanks again for replying and keep up the excellent work!!!
@@Romafedorov I meant to ask if both screens are live during 4k60 with horizon balacing. Am I correct in understanding that what you meant is that horizon balancing doesn't work with 4k120 in general?
I've been playing around with both for 2 months ish, and i gotta say the A5 Pro outshines the A4 in almsot every shot i've tried. I would love to get a FW update on the bitrate though. Great video buddy!
Hi, Peter. I'm a big fan. Thanks for sharing your experience. The Action 5 Pro definitely surprised me in terms of low light shooting and as far as I can tell, DJI is going to release the bitrate firmware sooner than later.
Being asked to pay extra for a camera that requires an update to work 😔, it should have came out ready , fully ready.. imo . Disappointed and will have turned some loyal DJI users like myself off to purchase ..
im pretty surprised with your reviews that the sharpness of bought device were the same or not so much in daylight scene. Other reviewers showed significant differences especially in sharpness. is it because they used auto exposure? im planning to buy 1 but the 5 pro is much expensive for 120 dollars in my country.
The new battery works with the Action 4. It’s the same size as before, with no changes except for the capacity, so you’ll naturally get longer recording times.
@@Romafedorov waiting for your update, do you think dji osmo pocket 3 meet indoor studio talking head videos requirements? I am planning to use amaran 60d or amaran 200d light with lantern softbox for lighting my studio.
great test thanks alot! more low light test would be great. comparison isnt needed you could just do the dji 5 in the low light test to save time. we already know now the dji action 5 is better... also maybe a low light test and video test against pocket 3 would be great too
Hi Roma, great review, but do you or anyone here experience overheating problem? I tried all setting even the lowest 1080p 30/RS. it started overheating after just 20 minutes. Can someone please advice.
5:49 Gopro did exactly the same with their Hero12, but no one talked about that. On the Hero12 they most probably decreased bitrate to decrease CPU processing. And a decrease in in CPU processing should result in less heat generation, thus a longer runtime before thermal overheating and a longer recording on a full battery charge.
My 5 Pro was a really tight fit in my SmallRig cage which I used with the Action 4 and Action 3. I think this is because the 5 has a thicker protective coating? My 5 Pro takes up to 5 seconds to start if it's been sitting for several hours. The glass lens cover on the 5 Pro is in fact very slightly bigger than that on the 4, so I took the cover off the 4 and put it on the 5 so I could use lens caps I have. The 5 glass cover was very hard to unscrew. While I'm here, if anyone is interested, to minimise distortion (in my opinion the 4 and 5 warp the image quite badly at the edges in Dewarp compared to the similar GoPro setting), I shoot my 5 at 4:3, RockSteady, Standard Dewarp, and set Divinci Resolve Lens Distortion to -0.100. Then I zoom in to 16:9, etc. This gets me best results.
Hey, I’m looking to buy a new action camera and figured dji is better than go pros, I’m getting dji osmo action 4 adventure pack for 36k inr and action 5 pro standard pack for the same price, it’s adventure pack with 3 batteries is for 46k inr. What do you think is the best option for me( I’m gonna be using it to shoot motovlogs). Thankyou for your recommendations, I appreciate it
If it's the same price go for the A5 Pro. Just don't forget to lower the noise reduction and texture settings to get the best results. Otherwise, you might want to look into a second hand Action 4.
Hi, Action 4 Adventure pack is for 36K INR & Action 5 Pro standard pack is of same price 36 K. But Adventure pack of Action 5 is of 46 K. I also purchasing new 1st action camera for me. multiple review saying action 4 having more natural color also good bit rate. Please suggest because so much I am so much confused.
Thanks for the great review. Can you send me some videos from action 5 at iso 800, 1600, 6400? These shots from the video may be identical to action 4 and action 5. I wonder if it's worth changing to 5 pro.
@@Romafedorov Thank you very much for the files you sent. You helped me a lot. The files from the action 5 pro have much less noise and are more pleasant to the eye. Oversampling from 40 megapixels does the job :)
Hey Roma! Maybe (just maybe!) you could find the time to compare the Action 3 against 4 and 5. I'd love to see such a video! Thanks a lot in advance if you ever decide to make it happen.
I don't think so as I don't have the Action 3 anymore and honestly I wouldn't recommend It to anyone. I hated that camera. It had a very soft and unpleasing image in my opinion. Nothing like the A4 or 5 Pro...
Help me understand, people are saying the Action 5 outshines the Action 4 in image quality.. How so, when these same people are complaining about the bit rate about the Action 5.. Anyone who knows about bit rate , should know the lower bit rate, has a huge effect on image quality. So yes DJI Action 5 has made some upgrades, the most important appeal to consumers is the image quality. So the lower bit rate helped in longer battery life, and over heating, due to lower bit rate in transferring file.. So think again if you or still think A5, has better quality then A4
I wasn’t specifically saying anyone in particular. I myself own the DJI Osmo Action 3, along with the Ace Pro. I was excited when they announced the launch of the Action 5, to be sadly disappointed. By saying, even if they do change the bit rate with the Action 5 in the new firmware update, I myself isn’t that impressed. Not an argument, just simply expressing my opinion. Have a awesome day everyone 🙏
hi, I just cancelled my order DJi Pro 5 because the shipping take way more what they said, and that customer service could not help with that I did not want to do business with them because they do not care,
As always, super exact and helpful, Roma, thank you! Hope to see a good detailed low-light review from you soon =)) (I mean not the sh.tty artificial oversharpened Supernight mode but the regular one)
OA5 vs OA4 Some Basic Comparisons: 1. The in built mics in OA5 Pro produce Crispier Sound than OA4. 2. One can connect 2 DJI wireless microphones in OA5 unlike OA4. 3. The Night mode video outputs are definitely better and more detailed in the OA5 Pro than OA4. Some may argue that the OA5 does an over noise reduction and output sometimes seems artificial. To put it simply, the low light output in OA5 looks definitely better. 4. Battery life in OA5 is enhanced almost by 2 times than that of OA4. 5. The Screen on the OA5 is now bigger and OLED. So one gets brighter view on the screen. 6. Colour contrast and colour detailing looks better in OA5 Pro, sometimes it does look over sharpened. However hen one uploads the video to TH-cam it doesn't seem that much bad.
Как новую можно купить 5ую, но если есть 4ка, то разницы практически нет. В 4ой был более крупный сенсор, чем у 3ей. А тут одинаковый размер 1/1.3 поэтому и ощутимой разницы в изображении не заметил.
I've learned to live with any shortcomings my OA3 has by now, there's nothing grabbing me here in both. I don't apply LUT or have to grade footage anyway and my camera out performs these images. ( For my needs ) Have a look... I love DJI and this is my second OA. I honestly fear that the AP2 will impress me away from the Osmo range as DJI got lazy. 😢
@@Romafedorov DJI managed to increase the video quality in comparison to the previous model (which you proof is right) but also managed to lower the Bitrate for smaller file sizes, I would call this a win-win situation. You’re making a problem that is not visible because you’re judging the quality by a number written on a piece of paper instead of the actual quality. Even if your eyes are telling you the exact opposite.
Don't mean to be rude, but the high-pitched voice is giving me a headache. Despite the great content, I had to stop watching the review. I know almost nothing about video editing, but is it possible to adjust the audio in production to make it easier on the ears?
It's an action camera 📸 With 1 inch sensor it wouldn't be able to focus close and then you'll complain about out of focus issues. Buy the pocket 3 instead 🪙
@@fendrou i cannot use pocket 3, because i go to street fishing at night...somethimes in the rain, and i cannot mount pocket 3 on my chest and also is not waterproof etc...
@@chemareasalbaticiei There is a way to mount the Pocket 3 on your chest. I have seen a few people do it. You just buy an adapter that has the Gopro mount on it to attach it to the chest mount. If you are fishing and most of your footage is stationary and at night then the Action 5's bitrate shouldn't be that much of an issue. I'd say the Action 5 is your best bet and then the Pocket 3 being the second best bet. I hate the bitrate option a lot. Still plan to keep mine though and will probably keep an Action 4 for more of fast moving footage.
@@BrytonSchwabPhotography i bought it yesterday...and i am so dissapointed with that super night mode...is pixelated and full of artifacts... oversharpened... i hope they will fix this...or is my first and my last dji camera ever 🙂

If it's the same price go for the A5 Pro. Just don't forget to lower the noise reduction and texture settings to get the best results. Otherwise, you might want to look into a second hand Action 4.
Hi, Action 4 Adventure pack is for 36K INR & Action 5 Pro standard pack is of same price 36 K. But Adventure pack of Action 5 is of 46 K. I also purchasing new 1st action camera for me. multiple review saying action 4 having more natural color also good bit rate. Please suggest because so much I am so much confused.
Which one do you prefer? I am at the same situation

DJI said they are going to fix the low bitrate in a new firmware
I returned my 5 for now due to bit rate, DJI didnt say a firmware was on the way to address the bit rate.
Thanks for the great review. Can you send me some videos from action 5 at iso 800, 1600, 6400? These shots from the video may be identical to action 4 and action 5. I wonder if it's worth changing to 5 pro.
Yeah, sure. You want the same clips shot at ISO 800, 1600 and 6400 from both cameras to compare? Do you want them in D-Log M or natural color?
@@Romafedorov D-Log M
@@Romafedorov Thank you very much for the files you sent. You helped me a lot. The files from the action 5 pro have much less noise and are more pleasant to the eye. Oversampling from 40 megapixels does the job :)
@@fotopawlik You're welcome. I'm deleting them now.
I would have liked if you zoomed in to the video's more, that I could see de details for myself.
Hey Roma! Maybe (just maybe!) you could find the time to compare the Action 3 against 4 and 5. I'd love to see such a video! Thanks a lot in advance if you ever decide to make it happen.
I don't think so as I don't have the Action 3 anymore and honestly I wouldn't recommend It to anyone. I hated that camera. It had a very soft and unpleasing image in my opinion. Nothing like the A4 or 5 Pro...
@@Romafedorov that's interesting. I'm loving my A3 😀 Thanks for the reply!
Just bought the 4 for $199 at Costco 👍
That's a great deal!
U deserve my subscription and likes
I upgrade from none 😅 hope it does its job.
I'm not gonna upgrade just yet.
I'm waiting for a Quantum AI version with UAP tracking 🛸👽
Help me understand, people are saying the Action 5 outshines the Action 4 in image quality.. How so, when these same people are complaining about the bit rate about the Action 5.. Anyone who knows about bit rate , should know the lower bit rate, has a huge effect on image quality. So yes DJI Action 5 has made some upgrades, the most important appeal to consumers is the image quality. So the lower bit rate helped in longer battery life, and over heating, due to lower bit rate in transferring file.. So think again if you or still think A5, has better quality then A4
People watch in their smartphones, so who cares the bitrate.
I wasn’t specifically saying anyone in particular. I myself own the DJI Osmo Action 3, along with the Ace Pro. I was excited when they announced the launch of the Action 5, to be sadly disappointed. By saying, even if they do change the bit rate with the Action 5 in the new firmware update, I myself isn’t that impressed. Not an argument, just simply expressing my opinion. Have a awesome day everyone 🙏
@@PierPeterVinylSound I always forget about this. Such a valid point.
hi, I just cancelled my order DJi Pro 5 because the shipping take way more what they said, and that customer service could not help with that I did not want to do business with them because they do not care,
THANKS BROTHER
BRO TELL ME SHOULD I BUY ACTION 5 PRO OR ACTION 4 IS ENOUGH ?
WHICH IS BEST ?
I would buy the 5 Pro but thats just imo
@@Jensen_Moen imo means ?
@@The_Battmann in my opinion
i think thats a thing lol
@@Jensen_Moen My Bad I'm so noob😁
Thanks man
@@The_Battmann no prob brotha
5:49 well said.
Agreed
As always, super exact and helpful, Roma, thank you!
Hope to see a good detailed low-light review from you soon =)) (I mean not the sh.tty artificial oversharpened Supernight mode but the regular one)
working on a low light video.
Roma! What happened to your intonation in speaking?
What do you mean?
@Romafedorov you end sentences on a high note now. Used to not to back then. But hey I'm happy that you're getting more views now. W 👑
@@fubiki9899 Honestly, I don’t do it on purpose, and you must be a pretty big fan to notice these things, so thank you!
@@Romafedorov all good man. Sorry might just be nitpicking. Anyways, keep up the good work.
I recently uploaded a video about this as well! Great work!
Cheers!
OA5 vs OA4
Some Basic Comparisons:
1. The in built mics in OA5 Pro produce Crispier Sound than OA4.
2. One can connect 2 DJI wireless microphones in OA5 unlike OA4.
3. The Night mode video outputs are definitely better and more detailed in the OA5 Pro than OA4. Some may argue that the OA5 does an over noise reduction and output sometimes seems artificial. To put it simply, the low light output in OA5 looks definitely better.
4. Battery life in OA5 is enhanced almost by 2 times than that of OA4.
5. The Screen on the OA5 is now bigger and OLED. So one gets brighter view on the screen.
6. Colour contrast and colour detailing looks better in OA5 Pro, sometimes it does look over sharpened. However hen one uploads the video to TH-cam it doesn't seem that much bad.
Одио куолити из эбаут зэ сэйм, бро :)
No. Dji … ✊follow my finger
Как новую можно купить 5ую, но если есть 4ка, то разницы практически нет. В 4ой был более крупный сенсор, чем у 3ей. А тут одинаковый размер 1/1.3 поэтому и ощутимой разницы в изображении не заметил.
I'll maintain my AO4 b'cos i just bought them last year! I'll wait till AO7 release. miehahahahahahhahahha
:)))))
So I think the oa4 is still reliabke, ya? Phew!
Action 5 pro colors seemed unnatural and warmer and softer image.
Deym video looks same I'm getting action 4
No
my action 4 has also a wind reduction high. it has settings wind reduction off, normal and high.
Mine doesn't have it. Maybe it's restricted to certain shooting modes? I shoot in 4k25p and D-log M..
Adieu Gopro.. 😂🎉
Tu gagne quoi si Gopro dit adieu?
Parce qu'il faut attendre le 26 novembre pour acheter l'insta360 Ace Pro 1 chez mon boulanger 🎅🥖
@@baballe Attendez la 2 elle arrive bientôt .
I've learned to live with any shortcomings my OA3 has by now, there's nothing grabbing me here in both.
I don't apply LUT or have to grade footage anyway and my camera out performs these images. ( For my needs ) Have a look...
I love DJI and this is my second OA.
I honestly fear that the AP2 will impress me away from the Osmo range as DJI got lazy. 😢
Interesting that the action 5 wins most of your comparisons but you still complain about the Bitrate.
I complain about the bitrate because it's a downgrade from the A4
@@Romafedorov DJI managed to increase the video quality in comparison to the previous model (which you proof is right) but also managed to lower the Bitrate for smaller file sizes, I would call this a win-win situation.
You’re making a problem that is not visible because you’re judging the quality by a number written on a piece of paper instead of the actual quality. Even if your eyes are telling you the exact opposite.
i think no
To call it PRO is a joke. Let' s say is an Action 4 enhanced.
The Action 4S
Don't mean to be rude, but the high-pitched voice is giving me a headache. Despite the great content, I had to stop watching the review. I know almost nothing about video editing, but is it possible to adjust the audio in production to make it easier on the ears?
Hahaha that's ok. I don't think there is anything I can do to make my voice sound lower pitched without making it sounding fake. Cheers.
@@Romafedorov Even without finishing, I feel it's great content of great value, wish I had watched the whole thing, well, my loss.

That bitrate stupid decision makes me not buy this one... also they could put 1 inch sensor...
It's an action camera 📸 With 1 inch sensor it wouldn't be able to focus close and then you'll complain about out of focus issues.
Buy the pocket 3 instead 🪙
@@fendrou i cannot use pocket 3, because i go to street fishing at night...somethimes in the rain, and i cannot mount pocket 3 on my chest and also is not waterproof etc...
@@chemareasalbaticiei There is a way to mount the Pocket 3 on your chest. I have seen a few people do it. You just buy an adapter that has the Gopro mount on it to attach it to the chest mount. If you are fishing and most of your footage is stationary and at night then the Action 5's bitrate shouldn't be that much of an issue. I'd say the Action 5 is your best bet and then the Pocket 3 being the second best bet. I hate the bitrate option a lot. Still plan to keep mine though and will probably keep an Action 4 for more of fast moving footage.
@@BrytonSchwabPhotography i bought it yesterday...and i am so dissapointed with that super night mode...is pixelated and full of artifacts... oversharpened... i hope they will fix this...or is my first and my last dji camera ever 🙂
Hey Roma
Awesome review.
Thabks @Petet Lingren for suggesting to view
Cheers!
TLDW anyone?
