The best comparison by far. Given some of the minor downfalls of the Action 5, I’d rather take that over the GP. Solves a lot of problems.

On the DJI forums one of the devs for DJI was replying to questions about the bitrate. They stated that the reason they kept it low was to keep file sizes small, and with the more powerful chip they could get better footage despite it being lower bitrate than the 4. After seeing people post footage with compression artifacts, he agreed that they need to give users a high bitrate option and that will be coming in a FW update.

The thing with DJI is that they're always innovating their products. They do always leave something off their products and seemingly put it on their next version, but they're always pushing forward with their tech advancements.
I'm not a DJI fanboy, but all my products are from them, simply because of how good their products are.
I've been looking to get a new action cam for my motorbike and DJI FPV and I think this just convinced me to finally upgrade from the original DJI Action Camera.
Great editing by the way.

I really like how the GoPro exposes more for the shadows. However action pro has more dynamic range and exposes more in the highlights. I think it’s a different story I’m both of the cameras HLG mode. The new altitude and depth sensors are a cool feature in the action5 but the GoPro13 has GPS back… theyr both good but just on the look of the auto video settings I’d say GoPro I the daytime and action 5 in lower light environments.

In my opinion, this is a huge comparison, Peter. This is the first time I've seen the warping issue on the GoPro as well. 💪🏻

[CHEFPKR]

I still can't get over the freezing issues from past go pro experiences.

Gotta go with DJI this time when I purchase, especially with native Mic 2 connection

[AirKhanFPV]

I can cleary see the Action 4 at 8:28 because of more details in the gras, when it comes to details the low bitrate from the action 5 pro is a bummer, especially for fpv, meanwhile my gopro 13 can do up to 200mb/s with gopro labs.

Great comparison!

I think the most impressive thing on the Action 5 is the internal mic! Can't believe the sound that comes out of that thing!

Hi Peter. Something you didn't mention in the video, and which I also find important and interesting to know, is that with the GoPro you have to spend half your salary on lenses that don't come in the package, whereas with the DJI Action 5 Pro, you just have to unpack it and enjoy. For me that's the turning point between the two, and what makes me decide on the DJI Action without hesitation. Great video as always. Greetings from the north of Spain!

I go with DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro. This is my dream camera.😍

[MikelangeloPhoto]

I think you've solidified my choice... was leaning towards DJI... and then watched this... for what I plan to do... it seems like the winner. :) thank you!

[GrenlandUnderVann]

So the DJI Action 5 uses a LSI made with a 4 nm node while the Hero13 still uses a GP2 chip built on a 10 nm node. That is why the DJI uses much less power.

[elijahcho]

I think this video and your DJI sponsored video were the best reviews in the action camera genre so far. Nicely done!

[pcoussa]

Peter can you please test the Action 5 with the Insta 360 Ace Pro? Would really like to know what you think

[pslaathaug]

Get my action 5 pro tomorrow. Can't wait to do my own review.

[Namrenih]

Thanks for the great review Peter. I’ll be going with DJI now 🤘

[DavidDuchov]

Great review, where can-you get the legit kit for the Hero 13? Is this an influencer thing only?

[EdwardGrier-mo]

What’s your opinion for travel vlogging which camera is better for beginner go pro black or DJI, it’s for my wife

[indietonne]

Awesome comparison. I also was changing. For me the use of the same batteries was the starter. Now I am working on my DJI collection 😂

[sotirisrezitis]

As always great video! Very nice and fair comparison. especially when you included the issue that came out recently with the Osmo Action 5 Pro bitrate being so low... I totally agree that DJI did great with this camera and I' m hopping that will release a firmware update to fix all the color and bitrate problems of their new action camera!

Keep it up! Greeting from Greece!
