- Smart chip features similar to Insta360 Ace Pro but less impactful.
- Action 5 Pro’s image quality starting to lag behind flagship smartphones.
Different Speaker Views
- One speaker emphasizes disappointment with the “Pro” label due to lack of major sensor/frame rate upgrades.
- Another highlights the improved usability and accessory ecosystem.
- Both agree on strong audio performance and dynamic range improvements.
- Some skepticism about the practical use of new smart chip features like subject tracking.
- Discussion on the evolving role of action cameras beyond extreme sports to vlogging and everyday use.
- Debate on the trade-off between durability and camera size/sensor improvements.
Overall Verdict
The DJI Action 5 Pro is a solid, user-friendly action camera that excels in durability, audio quality, battery life, and dynamic range. However, it falls short of expectations set by its “Pro” label, lacking significant sensor upgrades or higher resolution video modes seen in competitors. Its smart features show promise but are currently limited or underwhelming. The accessory ecosystem is much improved but not yet on par with GoPro.
For users prioritizing reliable, versatile, and effortless recording with excellent audio, the Action 5 Pro is a strong contender. However, if top-tier image resolution or advanced smart features are priorities, alternatives may be better. Overall, it is recommended for enthusiasts who value robustness and ease of use over cutting-edge specs.
Summary
DJI Action 5 Pro offers incremental improvements over its predecessor with a focus on usability, audio, and dynamic range rather than raw specs. It remains a durable, versatile action camera with some smart features but does not revolutionize the category or meet all “Pro” expectations.
