The DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro features a built-in pressure sensor, the ability to capture super slow motion at an unbelievable 1080p/960fps, and a new power-sipping 4nm chip that enables up to four hours of continuous recording off a single charge.
The camera is fitted with DJI’s next-gen 1/1.3-inch sensor that can capture 40-megapixel stills and an industry-first 13.5-stop dynamic range to capture high-dynamic, low-light video at 4K/60fps. And while 960fps slow-mo is impressive, DJI gets there by capturing 240fps and then making an intelligent guess as to how to generate the fill frames on either side.
It also comes with 47GB of fast built-in storage. That means you can use your new action camera straight out of the box, giving you time to find your old microSD card to research if it can keep up with modern bitrates. The Action 5 Pro now supports a pair of DJI Mic 2 Bluetooth microphones, which can be useful when capturing interview audio.
Other improvements include waterproofing down to 20 meters (almost 66 feet), 4K/120fps capture in 4:3, Wi-Fi 6 and USB 3.0 connectivity, an in-camera 360-degree horizon lock, and a new feature that can center and track a human subject in video that’s automatically cropped in postproduction. There’s no built-in GPS, but location data and sports tracking can be added when paired with devices like DJI’s Osmo Action GPS Bluetooth Remote Controller.
