DJI’s Osmo Action 5 Pro is available today starting at $349 / £329 / €379 for the standard combo kit, which includes the horizontal-vertical protective frame, battery, USB-C cable, and a number accessories for mounting and cleaning your new action cam.

Hot on the heels of the latest GoPro, DJI have already teased something for tomorrow – now Insta360 are in on the action!

Osmo Action 5 Pro can connect directly to the DJI Mic 2 Transmitter via Bluetooth, enabling ultra-high-sampling-rate audio recording. This setup provides studio-quality sound while eliminating the need for a receiver. When Built-in Mic Audio Backup is enabled, ambient sounds can be recorded to add a richer layer of authenticity.

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

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.

The DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro is here to challenge the mighty GoPro just weeks after the company released its new flagship, the GoPro HERO13 Black. It might look the same as every other action camera on the market.
