"GoPro should be looking over its shoulder because DJI has been closing the gap fast in the action camera market over the past few years. The Osmo Action 5 Pro goes head-to-head with GoPro's latest Hero13 Black, and in several areas, it actually pulls ahead. This Black Friday deal on Amazon drops the Essential combo to a record low of $259, down from the usual $339, which undercuts GoPro's flagship by a decent margin."
"The Osmo Action 5 Pro features a 1/1.3-inch sensor, considerably larger than you'd find in most action cameras. It features 2.4-micrometer pixels that pull in more light per pixel to give you usable footage in conditions where other action cameras produce grainy messes. The 13.5-stop dynamic range means you can shoot into bright skies without losing detail in shadows or capture sunset scenes without blowing out the highlights."
DJI's Osmo Action 5 Pro competes directly with GoPro's Hero13 Black while offering a lower-priced Essential combo on sale for $259 versus a usual $339. The camera targets activities phones can't handle, such as mountain biking, surfing, and motorcycle rides, where stabilization and durability are essential. The device includes dual touchscreens, advanced stabilization, and a large 1/1.3-inch sensor with 2.4-micrometer pixels that improve low-light footage and a 13.5-stop dynamic range to preserve highlights and shadow detail. DJI's processing records 4K at 120fps for smooth slow motion. A 4nm chip enables reliable subject tracking in both horizontal and vertical aspect ratios.
