"DJI's engineering expertise translated well into action cameras and created products that rival or exceed GoPro's capabilities while undercutting their pricing. The Osmo Action 5 Pro Essential combo costs $259 during Black Friday on Amazon, down from $339, competing directly against the Hero 13 Black that costs more and offers similar features. This record-low 24% discount makes DJI's flagship action camera accessible at pricing that approached budget action cameras before this sale."
"The 1/1.3-inch sensor with 2.4µm pixels lets in a lot more light than the smaller sensors GoPro uses. This means that you can use the footage in low light when other action cameras make grainy, unusable video. The 13.5-stop dynamic range keeps detail in both bright highlights and deep shadows at the same time. This stops the blown-out skies or crushed shadow detail that cameras with limited dynamic range often have."
DJI moved from drone dominance into action cameras, producing models that rival or exceed GoPro while pricing more aggressively. The Osmo Action 5 Pro Essential saw a Black Friday price of $259, down from $339, a 24% discount that narrowed the gap to budget models. The camera uses a 1/1.3-inch sensor with 2.4µm pixels and 13.5-stop dynamic range to improve low-light performance and preserve detail in highlights and shadows. The model records 4K at 120fps for smooth quarter-speed slow motion, and an advanced 4nm processor handles high-frame-rate data without overheating or excessive battery drain. Standard 4K60 offers efficiency, while 120fps enables dramatic slow-motion shots. Advanced chip processing maintains subject tracking for fast-moving subjects.
