Hello, the ND filter of DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro is not waterproof, it is put on; we have considered the firmness, so the magnetic bracket can only be connected in one direction.

Becca, you know, you are like... really, really good at this.

Well done review! You touched on some points that no other reviewer mentioned. Had no clue the dji had the internal storage and the depth meter. GoPros filters are nice, but man, I really like what DJI has been doing and at the price point they are doing it at. It’s a solid product it seems and appreciate you diving into both of them.

Great review. I vlog outdoors in temps that can regularly exceed 100 degrees. Most of my filming is done walking in temps between 85-105 degrees. I've owned GoPros from the 3 up to the 11. I jumped into the Osmo scene when the Action 3 came out and played around with both GoPro and DJI for awhile. It didn't take long before I dropped GoPro altogether. DJI never overheats to the point of shutting down. The screen may turn off but it keeps filming. GoPro will just shut off on me leaving me to bake in the heat until it has cooled enough to reboot. GoPro has also had a history of randomly losing clips or damaging files. I've had many clips from GoPro that were damaged to the point they were not usable. Way too many issues with the Gopro for me. DJI has never, ever let me down. I just bought the Action 5 to replace my 4, and I have the Pocket 3 as well. For me, reliability is far more important than new lenses. I need something that works all of the time. Thank you again for the video.

DJI in one word: reliable. Action camera should NEVER fail or glitch. Gopro got good at it in past versions. Lost confidence and I migrated to DJI (action 4) now Im happy again. Hope Gopro will catch up again. ps: such a joy to watch and listen you. Thanks!

Becca your channel makes me realize that it wasn’t the Verge’s style I loved; it was YOURS. Keep up the awesome work as you approach 100k subs!!

[jngobngo]

I'm a sucker for low light usability so gotta give it to DJI

[aidentheabsurd]

The editing and overview is remarkable. Can't wait to see what's next!! You rock!

[Muhammed.Yaseen]

If I was HR at The Verge, I'd have given in to your wishes and given you a raise and asked you to stay. After Dieter left, YOU were The Verge to me. To a TON of people.

I mean, to me, this is better. Like I used to click faster when I saw Becca's videos in The Verge channel. But IMAGINE having a channel with ONLY Becca's videos! 🤩 Instead of an assorted chocolate box, we get a full box of our favourite flavour! Keep going, you! ❤

[Aniq.lalani]

this is quickly becoming my comfort channel. thank you for being you 💙

I have never seen someone make the DJI mount look difficult 😂

I never knew the DJI case could be a battery bank, that’s awesome

It's been exciting to see what DJI and Insta360 have been doing in the action camera space, especially with the cost and overheating issue's that GoPro's have.

My only worry is if the US Government actually ends up banning DJI products. They have such good stuff.

[Danny_mahi]

Freedom, that's what I see in this video, also an addict for Becca's smile, Becca you should be booked for contagious smile. I'm from TAMILNADU, south India half way around the world, yet you make me smile and learn at the same time, you're on the right path, you will achieve higher accolades. Thank you Becca for your work.

[BrentTimm]

Great video! I've been binging Action 5 reviews all morning, and I really like how you talked about some things (lens dirtiness) the other reviewers didn't. I'm a full-time travel vlogger, and I ended up ordering the DJI and seling my Gopro 11 today. My only concern is how there seems to be a lot of noise reduction used on the face by the DJI....

Greetings from Malaysia. Just wanna say that I really enjoy the way you review products (very practical, straight to real-life situation), Becca. Been a fan of your style since the days of the Verge. All the best and keep rocking on your channel.

[iphar]

What would it be like if you had a really nice friend who knew every little detail about cameras and could explain it to you in an accessible manner? That is what I feels like when watching those videos. I think Becca is doing an even better job than when she was previously in the verge. Incredibly detailed and professional, but still such a friendly vibe! Thank you and congratulations. 🤗
