The newly announced DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro poses strong competition to the GoPro Hero 13 Black, boasting an impressive 13.5-stop dynamic range and a four-hour battery life powered by a 1,950 mAh battery. It can even record for up to 3.6 hours in temperatures as low as -20°C (-4°F). In comparison to the industry average of 2 hours for action cameras, these specifications stand out. Additionally, using DJI’s 30W USB-C charger allows for 2 hours of recording with just a 15-minute charge.
Key Features
- Sensor: 1/1.3″ sensor with 2.4 μm pixel size.

- Built-in Tracking: Features automatic subject centering and tracking through machine learning algorithms.
- Water Resistance: Can dive 20 meters underwater without a case, equipped with a color temperature sensor for accurate color capture. It can automatically start recording when submerged and stop when it surfaces, while a pressure gauge monitors depth and duration for safety.
Display and Connectivity
