I bought both 🤣 think that image quality of pocket 3 is better but action 5 is more practical. If traveling I think I will use oa5 mostly, pocket3 at night. Like your videos very nice 😀
Pocket 3 great for personal vlogging but I need the versatility of the Action 5, I’m also clumsy. In extreme low light situations I use a Hohem gimbal. My primary use is moto vlogging alongside an Action 4.
Is there a problem with actions 5 pro? Outdoors the image still looks noise. on your glass or for any reason I also use two cameras but the action 5 does not get as much noise in open areas.
Don’t listen to Fu Man Chu! Your videos are amazing! I was waiting for this comparison. I like the Pocket3 DOF but the focal length and the gimbal is difficult to work with sometimes when I’m vlogging. Many times where I was off center and didn’t realize it. Also battery life sucks. I have the action5 now. Maybe I’ll just get rid of the pocket3 before the pocket4 is released.
so is it not good to use the action 5 for vlogging? I had the op2 and wanted better quality footage for youtube videos, vlogs and traveling and picked up the action 5. in your opinion do you think I should switch to the op3 instead?
It really depends on your channel. I personally love the action 5 for vlogging because it is so durable.

Great comparison 👏🏻 in my honest opinion the action5 pro is the most versatile. You can use the action 5pro in any situation vs the osmo pocket in only a few ,specially speaking when the weather conditions change. Both are amazing cameras but for a vacation trip I'm going with the action 5 pro simply because it does everything that the pocket does plus more . 🍻 👏🏻 ✌🏻
Hey thanks! Appreciate that, now that I have had some time to think about it, I am going to take the Action 5 Pro to NYC. The difference to me isn't so drastic that I have to take the Pocket 3 - Thanks for comment and the support!
are you using the "wearable" mode for the pocket 3? or did you use that rig shown? P3 as a POV cam can go wonky and has a bit of unpredictability factor due to the movement... and you really wont notice with wearable mode
@ after the latest firmware, yes, the new wearable mode will automatically shut off your screen after five seconds, and is meant for POV shots. The risk of the gimbal pointing the wrong way still exist.
@@CharlieVN can I be totally weird? I feel like wearing the pocket 3 protruding from my chest, might be hard for me to do and call even more attention to myself.
Thanks. I never considered the Action 5 but it’s more capable than I expected. I’m looking for a quick budget friendly real estate vid cam. Since I wasn’t in the market for an action cam, you made me reevaluate replacing my Go Pro Hero 8 for my motorcycle off road filming. Hmm?
@@delrayguy399 I have a video coming out on Monday. I took it to NY and curious to know what you think after that, hope you watch that one. 🙏🏽thanks for the support
You should take the Action 5 Pro to New York, since it’s a newer camera. It would give you a reason to test it out more. At this point, you probably used the Pocket 3 for almost a year 😉👍🏻
They are for different uses. One is an action camera, the other is a gimbal camera, more fragile, but it has bigger sensor which means better in low light and bokeh
💯💯, but lots of people have been using them for the same thing like vlogging and making TH-cam videos. That’s why I made the video. Thanks for watching!
Great video with excellent content 👏🏿, always appreciate ur views. Enjoy ur time in my home state, can’t wait to what u get urself into out there.I’m headed home myself, would b great to bump into u. Maybe learn a few things about vlogging at this state in my life 😀, peace and blessings ✊🏿.
It's a million times better... In the rain or swimming or you go BMX or upside down in the snow. Except that nothing beats bigger sensor with fast aperture and working AF
@@trym2121 it’s a crazy comparison I know. But I feel like a lot of people relate using both to make TH-cam videos. Appreciate the comment! Please come by again!
@@kianamaruu don’t regret it. I find that all of these cameras are excellent. You can only tell differences when they are side by side or if someone is looking for differences. The pocket three is excellent.
You shouldn't. Action 5 Pro is good and versatile for many scenarios! And with firmware updates it will be better and better, while the Pocket 3 already got most updates. And you should watch some videos about custom settings. You can watch Action 4 Pro videos, for those custom settings videos. Still applying to 5 Pro too. And use D-Log M and use a LUT for color grading. For low light scenarios, get a Gimbal like Hohem M6 or cheaper V3. Disabled Rocksteady and use custom settings for low light. The gimbal is your stabilizer while you get a cleaner image in the dark. That's what I figured out so far. I don't have the camera / gimbal yet to test it myself.
@@homezonebenny hmmm putting it on a gimbal, didn’t think of that. Really great ideas! Thank you so much for sharing. I think the Gimble will really help in low light for steadiness.
@@jostalking Yes, low shutter like 1/50 or 1/100 without Rocksteady enabled but with Gimbal could give awesome night videos. Not sure, still learning about shutter speed, ISO and so on... 😅 I read that Rocksteady makes the image worse in night mode. But I don't have an Action 5 Pro or Gimbal yet... I never did videography to be honest. I just informed myself a day ago, learning by reading a lot. Then decide and buy. 😅 😋 There is a TH-camr called: Roma Fedorov He made a video called: My DJI Osmo Action 4 Cinematic Settings & Workflow! Check this video out, he have GREAT suggestions how to use manual settings for every possible scenario and an "auto vlogging mode" for quick shots. This should work for the 5 Pro too. Maybe you can use that for your tests and make a tutorial video for your own channel too. Would love to see your results based on that. Maybe with a Gimbal for night mode too. ☺️

Super smart. Does the gimbal take away all the jitters in low light?
Is there a problem with actions 5 pro? Outdoors the image still looks noise. on your glass or for any reason I also use two cameras but the action 5 does not get as much noise in open areas.
Really, please elaborate. You think the image in mine is noisy? What settings do you use if you don't mind me asking. Thanks for pointing this out

I know. I am thinking the same thing. I think I’ll end up bringing it to NY this week instead of the Pocket 3. Appreciate the comment and support bud!

@@jostalking Great Video new Sub here Glad I came across your channel. Look forward to more of your content ✌🏻👍🏻
So I bought both during BF sales. Still trying to figure out which one I want LOL.
Were they on sale?
Action 5 was 20% off at REI. Costco had killer price on Pocket 3 this weekend.
Great comparison! Pocket 3 is way better in the image arena but lets keep in mind these are two different use case scenarios.
you are 100 percent correct with this - I just feel like a lot of people are buying these cameras for the same reason, but I could be wrong
I needed this image quality is way better on the pocket 3
I'm glad you think so, because there are times I think the action 5 wins too
Im trying to decide. Going more for the action 5 don't have to be too careful with it small love the way to swap batteries .
I know right? it is an absolute tank! The batteries last forever - thanks for watching
Also can you do a review of the insta 360 x4 or comparison to the pocket 3
I would if I had an insta 360x4, If I get one in the future I will do one! Thanks for watching!
Whoa the mic connects to both cameras at the same time?
I wish! No the mic only connects to one camera at a time.
Thanks for the wonderful content! Keep it up man
are you using the "wearable" mode for the pocket 3? or did you use that rig shown? P3 as a POV cam can go wonky and has a bit of unpredictability factor due to the movement... and you really wont notice with wearable mode
@@CharlieVN no I used it as is. Do you use wearable mode a lot? I’ve actually never tried it.
@ after the latest firmware, yes, the new wearable mode will automatically shut off your screen after five seconds, and is meant for POV shots. The risk of the gimbal pointing the wrong way still exist.
@CharlieVN so just so I understand, you do or don’t like wearable mode? Thanks for watching my video by the way Charlie!
@ yes, i use wearable mode, however only for chest mounted pov shots
@@CharlieVN can I be totally weird? I feel like wearing the pocket 3 protruding from my chest, might be hard for me to do and call even more attention to myself.
Thanks. I never considered the Action 5 but it’s more capable than I expected.
I’m looking for a quick budget friendly real estate vid cam.
Since I wasn’t in the market for an action cam, you made me reevaluate replacing my Go Pro Hero 8 for my motorcycle off road filming.
Hmm?
Gotta be honest. I don’t think I would house the action 5 for real estate. However for the motorcycle filming. Hell yes!
I went to OA from GoPro years ago for motovlogging and never looked back, no more overheats
@@glasgowharleyrider me too. For me the Go Pro was also unreliable. It would freeze up.
Hi, was this shot on wide (Action 5 Pro)? Thanks
@@mommyshane1928 yes it was! Thanks so much for watching my channel
The Pocket 3 is too delicate from my use case scenario so I chose the Action 5, but what a great comparison thanks! Two great cameras nonetheless.
@@delrayguy399 I have a video coming out on Monday. I took it to NY and curious to know what you think after that, hope you watch that one. 🙏🏽thanks for the support
One thing you forgot to compare is the pricing. For some, that might be the deciding factor.
@@HEALINGACADEMY123 damn!!! I’m an idiot! You’re so right. It’s so obvious, I totally forgot.
They are both winners!👏🏽 It depends upon the situation. That’s why own both! Lol😅 BTW, Flu Manchu was awesome!👏🏽👍🏾
What is wrong with us? Do we need this many cameras?? 😂😂😂
@7:00 😂❤
You should take the Action 5 Pro to New York, since it’s a newer camera. It would give you a reason to test it out more. At this point, you probably used the Pocket 3 for almost a year 😉👍🏻
@@AnonyMous40810 💯💯💯that’s what I just decided today.
Your climbing fast as expected! Go Jo Go! Another banger! Those cameras are so small I would bring both to NYC lol

is this shot on updated latest firmware?
No actually I updated the firmware after couple days after. Going to do a New York video soon with new firmware.
@@jostalking thanks
@@bembol_dudee1122 have to be honest though, at first glance, I don’t see the thing of a difference so far. Stay tuned for that video.
