When it comes to rugged reliability, the Osmo Action 5 Pro feels reassuringly well made. The camera itself is small, lightweight (145g) and sturdy, with few protruding parts and a removable, replaceable cover to help prevent damage to the surface of the lens.

If you've been waiting for a chance to own one of the best action cameras on the market and our most-rated action camera, well now is the time as the DJI Osmo Action 4 is now 30% off making it just $269 - that's $130 cheaper than the GoPro Hero13 Black that was launched last week.

A GoPro Hero 13 Black can detect these first-party lenses, meaning Garmin retains control over the ecosystem. That’s what’s truly different this generation — the GoPro Hero 12 Black had a super-wide-angle MAX lens mod too, but there was no smart factor to it.

As mentioned, DJI says the Action 5 Pro has a 13.5-stop dynamic range. Since many mirrorless cameras tend to range from 12 to 15 stops, it’s an impressive specification coming from an action camera with a much smaller 1/1.3" sensor -- though it's worth noting the Action 5 Pro's sensor is larger than the GoPro Hero 13’s 1/1.9-inch sensor.

DJI has been chipping away at GoPro's action cam dominance and just took a big step in that direction with the launch of the Action 5 Pro.

Drone maker DJI plans to take on GoPro with its Osmo Action 5’s improved sensor it claims rivals professional cameras.

The Osmo Action 5 Pro features an improved sensor, up to 4-hours of continuous recording, and 960fps super slow motion.

DJI's new Osmo Action 5 Pro is a product making a clear bet – that action camera users want 'Pro' results. They are promising "revolutionary image quality" and highlighting both the dynamic range and low-light performance.
