@androidemulator6952 your welcome! Glad I could help! I just came back from the Phillipines and used the action 5 90% hero 13%. The gopro still whips ass on the slow motion and water sports.
I have the Action 5 Pro and the GoPro Hero 12 (same sensor as 13). Here’s my take: I did EXTENSIVE testing in daylight with the Action 5 Pro today. Here’s what I believe the camera is doing: The camera (till they update firmware) is shooting in HDR and it looks muddy and soft in the distance, especially in the highlights which look blown and have a glow to them. This is something that the ace pro had in its first iteration until they updated the firmware. My guess is that DJI is going to do the same exact thing. This does not seem to happen in DLog and I don’t know why. But in mixed bright light, I plan on shooting DLOG all the time till this is fixed. Also, I’m finding that if you set the white balance manually to a slightly warmer temperature like 5500K, or even 6000 (especially at sunset) it looks better (when in non DLOG). And turn texture to -1 and NR to -1 and it’s bit less muddy. EV -0.7. In low light the shutter must quadruple the frame rate and the ISO maxed or its jitter and jello city. I am praying that DJI releases a firmware update before the Ace Pro 2 comes in swinging hard. They need to allow a non HDR option in normal color mode, fix super night and up bit rate. Alternatively, for less HDR effects, you can set ISO low. But DLOG is king for now. I think they went overboard with the “13 stops of Dynamic Range”. That’s just HDR. On my GoPro 12, I turn off HDR or I get the exact same issues. BTW, the pocket 3 (which I have and love) had similar issues of overblown highlights and overexposure upon first release. They (mostly) fixed it. Fingers crossed, they’ll fix this. Firmware needs to up the bitrate, fix this weird permanent“HDR” in normal 10 bit color mode (or give option to turn off like on GoPro and Ace Pro). They also must improve the AI on Supernight (which is not good at the moment…it’s WAY over-sharpened) and they need to improve overall performance in low light, without tweaks. This is an EXCELLENT camera, especially in DLog. And with scene specific tweaks. Let’s see if firmware can fix some of these issues so we can “set it and forget it”.🤞 PS: DJI responded to me and said it’s coming and to keep checking their website. They know they released a camera that had issues. Just like the Ace Pro. They fixed it finally. DJI just has to listen. They will! PS: The user interface on the DJI is WAY BETTER than the GoPro. Fast, never overheats, responsive and the OLED screen is insane. It’s worlds better than the GoPro to operate. Especially as a dash cam!!!!!
Very impressive! It will be interesting to see if they tune it on the next firmware update! Im curious as to whether or not you have put the same effort in with the hero 12 to see if you can further enhance the out of the box image? I have been having an issue where about half the time, when the battery dies on the action 5, I lose the file I was recording. IT becomes corrupt. This really bothers me as I love taking time lapses and I cant always be there to stop it. Drives me nuts! Another issue I had is that I noticed the first day using the camera, there is a dead pixel on the display. One awful red pixel. I call it the Devils eye. I have tried to exchange it with Visions Electronics where I bought it, but they refuse to do an exchange. This is within the 30 day window, and I am quite upset that they dont stand by their product, however I am not quite finished with them and Im hoping to win this. Im also hoping the memory glich is a one off for this camera (like I got a lemon), and if it does get replaced the problem will not continue. Otherwise I like the interface, battery life and quick charging.
Awesome comparison! The footage looks stunning from both cameras. In your opinion, which one handles low-light conditions better? Also, how does the stabilisation compare when driving on bumpy roads?
@RoamingRelaxation Hands down action 5 for low light, battery life, overheating. I just finished a 1000km road trip in the Philippines and I had both cameras on a rail. I used the gopro facing me most of the time for whenever I thought I had something good to say haha! But the gopro killed it for when I wanted slow motion shots of traffic, close calls, cool events on the road etc. Still need one camera that has everything!
But what about the size of the files??? I understand that dash cameras have the ability to record only the event you want, which saves a lot on memory card.
@@guimarotta I loop my recordings at 5 minutes. This only keeps 5 minutes of footage on the memory card. You simply save any clips where something cool or significant happens.
Thanks for the view! I leave the camera plugged into power from the car. I have ran both the Hero 13 at 5.3K and the Action 5 at 4K for 2+hours on the loop mode and I have yet to experience either camera overheating.
After playing with the 2 cameras for a few days as dash cams, another point to the action 5 for the responsiveness of the touch screen. The gopro doesn't respond very well and that is not the best trying to switch settings on the road!
Its a tuff call! Ive been using Gopro consistently. This is the first DJI action camera I have bought. Tomorrow I am bringing the Action 5 back to the store for an exchange. I have been timelapsing the northern lights and its a coinflip whether the file is corrupt or not in the morning when I go to view the footage. There also is a dead pixel on the screen after the first night I used it for a lapse. The gopro powered through this no issues.
@@thejauntingape My experience with DJI in the past is if you buy the product straight out the gate when they are released, there are some QA issues. Action 1 had a battery issue, Action 2 had a focus issue by memory. My Action 3 & Pocket 2 & 3 have been great but I wanted a month or two before getting them after release. All of the drones I have had have been fine. Mavic 1, Mini 2 and Mini Pro 3.
@@nomadicphil With the Mini 3 and Mini 4 I bought them both at least 6 months out of the gate. Im super curious to see if the release the Air 3S tomorrow! That may be a big decision if they do. I wanted to by the Air 3 but with the same camera as the mini 4 pro I couldnt Justify. Im leaving home tomorrow for 7 months and I think it would be a good fit for the trip! Thats why I was doing all these tests. My verdict is both the hero 13 and Action 5 get to come haha, the hero 11 weaseled its way in there just in case.
I can't lie I've loved gopro, but I bought the action 5 and I am turning. The battery life and quick charge eliminates all the extra batteries I cary with gopro
@DannyFyffe I have to agree that the dji looks artificially enhanced. While they do a good job with it, I do prefer the colors and real life look to the hero 13.
@@thejauntingape I have not seen anyone do a comparison like this. So it was shocking to see the GoPro that most put down looking so superior in every shot on your video. Thanks for showing reality.
@DannyFyffe it's been driving me nuts how many creators are action pro biased. They actually got me, that's why I bought the action 5. But I had to buy the hero 13 as well and see for myself. Thanks for the comment!
@@thejauntingape I appreciate your honesty. I don't get influenced by influencers. I watch their videos, but rarely believe anything most of them say. I then wait for honest people to come out and show things like what you did and the difference in the 2 cameras is astounding. The influencers of course doctor the footage and make the GoPro look tepid, but then your video comes out and shows they were messing with the footage to show who is paying them. in all cases, dji is doing that IMO. So again, I appreciate your integrity.
Also what NOBODY seems to mention is that the Osmo Action 5 does NOT HAVE 1/48 shutter speed. It does have 24fps but not 1/48. So inhave to use 25fps with 1/50 shutter speed now. Maybe this can be fixed wothba simple software update.
I agree, I feel the look of the Gopro is more realistic as it stands. Both cameras have their strong points, and I wish there was 1 camera to rule them all!

Dji is way too yellow and looks plastic. The gopro looks far better and real life.

GoPro is better. DJI is too bright in shadows, and too dark in highlights. Image is flat. GoPro is too much contrasty, but I prefer it over DJI.
