Honestly... Its disgusting that you dont have a larger following. Easily the best reviewer in this space on youtube. Your vids always have a great vibe. Never comes across as a marketing video like most youtubers end up becoming. I only look out for your vids these days. Keep up the great work.
Nick, you're a damn legend and I'm disgusted as well!🤣 For real though man, I appreciate the heck out of you watching. I have so much fun making these videos and it's comments like this that make all the work worth it. Thank you brother🙏
For sure one of the cooler features, especially in the 9:16. I feel like this is going to be a beast to whip out short form content. I'm even thinking of mounting this next to my main cam lens to create both at the same time. Just gotta wear sunglasses so neither lens can tell where I'm looking
RIP GoPro. I started the shift moving from GoPro 11 to the Action 4. I consider getting this one and turning my Action 4 to be my secondary camera (in those scenarios where I use more than one action camera). Having this higher capacity battery kipping the same form factor (unlike the latest GoPro), is a brilliant move by DJI. As someone invested in the Action 4, adding the Action 5 to my gear (or switching to it) is an easy decision.
GoPro isn't at the top anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if the non-pro Insta Ace is better than the GoPro 13. the Ace Pro and even the older Action 4 are both better than the 13. also, try and view other reviews because it's not all that great with other youtubers who are not sponsored like David
@@thatevanguy1480 same sensor with a new 4nm chip that can pull more out of that same sensor. Correct, I did charge DJI to tell you guys all about the new camera, but they don't get any say in what I tell you. Them is the rules!🙌
May I give you a challenge David.. can you make a highlight video of your next trip to feature footage captured on the Pocket 3, Action 5 Pro and DJI Drone in DLOG-M and combine them altogether in this highlight video to better understand how footage matching works? 😁
Thank you, David! I’ve been anxiously awaiting to see what’s new. I love the fact that DJI is making a conscious effort to make the cameras the way we like to use them.
They do a killer job of addressing the actual pain points we have as users and take that feedback into their future cameras. I love when companies listen!
I thought I'd be switching this year - but objectively: GoPro's image is still better. So frustrating because there are so many features missing from GoPro... ARG!
My wife and I LOVE the OSMO Action 4. And man, this is worth picking up (and playing Rocks, Paper, Scissors to decide who gets to use it on outings! 🤣 ) As always, thank you for another great review!
I like that you mention that pretty much all indoors is really low light. The majority of my filming is indoors and I constantly argue with my brother that I am in low light for most of my filming. This camera looks like it has some nice features.
How does the new Action 5 Pro Super Night mode compare to the Ace Pro Pure Video mode in Low Light? Usually DJI has jitters compared to Insta360. Has that changed or is the Ace Pro still the Low Light champ? Also, what's the Action Pro Min focusing distance?
That's something I'm going to try to address in the follow up videos because that's a touuuuugh question and I think is going to be pretty individual use case based
there are already comparisons out there. and from the looks of it, the answer (to me at least) is a no. there are instances that the 5's AI messes up and makes the overall quality worse than the 4
I would LOVE to go do that! I took the Action 4 on a wreck dive in Maui last year and it had no problem at 60ft. So pretty sure the new one will be okay too👍👍
Hey David. Talk to me about over heating. Where you able to get it to overheat. If used stationary inside a building what’s the realistic run time before it shuts off? Thanks David and keep up the great work.
side note: when showcasing the differences between 8 bit, 10 bit, hlog etc, i recommend considering in the very last part, combining all four and pausing for a full 3-5 seconds so people can see the differences (assuming they have a decent monitor, and youtube compression considered lol)
I only bought the 4 not so long ago. Wish I had waited. The in built internal storage is awesome. I've lost count how many times I have for got my memory card. This camera looks amazing. I was so underwhelmed by the new go pro. When I watched the release video of this. I was truly blown away by the quality of the video. It looks incredible.
Nice review. Would it be possible to use one Mic2 and recored on Action 5 and Pocket 3 at the same time? Not sure how useful it might be though :) but instead of using the internal mic recording, one has another option
They were on time with the release this a.m. and this is a great video showing exactly what we want to know; the differences between the Action 4 and new Action 5. This looks like a big winner camera.
That's tough! The Pocket 3 has a 1" sensor, so it's going to perform incredible even down in low light situations. The Pocket 3 is also running a gimbal head instead of digital image stabilization, so that's a big benefit. I think use case to use case, you would have to decide. When we go out traveling, I'm usually using an action camera because I can film things and then quickly stuff the camera in my bag. But if I'm setting up shots or trying to get really smooth movements, the Pocket 3 comes in clutch!
David, you make me miss living in San Diego with your videos! Nice feature review, on this. Waiting to see what Insta announces next week (I have an AcePro now that I like) so not necessarily looking to upgrade, but you know…I don’t ever ever really need another camera but somehow I keep getting them 😂
This looks like *almost* the ultimate action cam. I have and love the Ace Pro and with its flip-up screen that is a winner for me, BUT the Action 5 Pro has a lot of other cool features now that makes one think whether that flip-up screen is giving the Ace Pro the edge. The Ace Pro 2 will have to up their game even more. One thing is for sure ... the GoPro is out of the picture.
Much better than GP13 launch, ACtion 5 hit the right spot, better low light quality, excellent day video, backward compatibility with A4 battery, GPS, bigger screen, longer battery
Thanks for the great video. I'll wait for the in-depth reviews before buying it. I want to know if it will gets hot when recording on 4K. I'm looking forward for this camera if it turns out to be really great. I use the old cam for everyday use in case there is a shooting, attack or crazy things happening. I like the quick record, bigger battery and built-in memory.
Great Video! I would also love just a quick video side by side and video quality thoughts vs the pocket 3? If someone can only afford one, which would be a better buy?
With the mics do we gain the feature to record the DJI Mic to one channel and the action 5 record itself to the other channel? Just like in the pocket 3? Thanks David
@@DavidManningvlog Brilliant thank you, that’s the feature I’ve been crying out for. Would also love to know how quickly the DJI MICs connect when using quick start. They took far too long on the action 4 meaning every clip you had to waste the first 3-5s waiting for it to initialise. Wondering if it’s quicker on this one. Even more so now it starts instantly.
I'd like to know the reliability of quick-shot with a 3.5mm lav plugged in, as I require hardwired lavs, also the sound quality. I know some of these cameras forget to record external audio sometimes on quick-shot. Also curious to know how reliable the wireless remote will be. I plan on sticking 2 of these on a motorcycle, and only have a handlebar mounted remote to start/stop them in sync, and ideally keep them off when I'm not recording, so quick-shot feature will be used exclusively. Thanks.
that turn on time is wild.
I want that on my Sony cams!
So this is the 1st video of action 5 pro I am watching and it's worth it ❤
Stoked you're here!
watch other reviews and that impression might change :)
Your wife is cool. And your daughter’s lisp is adorable.
Hahhaa I'm a pretty damn lucky guy man! I think about that all the time

Disgusting? Riiiiight.
@DavidManningvlog no problem. Keep doing what you are doing 🚀
The tracking / vertical framing is super dope. I can see that being super useful for a lot of people
For sure one of the cooler features, especially in the 9:16. I feel like this is going to be a beast to whip out short form content. I'm even thinking of mounting this next to my main cam lens to create both at the same time. Just gotta wear sunglasses so neither lens can tell where I'm looking
Ayyeee came here first before the official DJI video!
You're a legend Philip!

RIP RIP RIP....GOPRO ONLY HYPE DJI ALL ABOUT QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE..!!
...and David - you have a cute family. Take care.
The battery life, built in storage, and ability to use the DJI Mic2 sealed the deal for me. I like how the menus are similar to the Pocket 3 as well.
If David says better than GoPro13, I will buy. :-)
We'll get to the comparison videos real soon!
Same, brother. Same
Looks same as action 4. Same sensor? Dude is sponsored.
GoPro isn't at the top anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if the non-pro Insta Ace is better than the GoPro 13. the Ace Pro and even the older Action 4 are both better than the 13. also, try and view other reviews because it's not all that great with other youtubers who are not sponsored like David

David adds a sense of humor to this video which is really funny " figured I shouldn't die" rofl 🤣🤣
It's a good thing the new and old batteries are swappable
Very good!
May I give you a challenge David.. can you make a highlight video of your next trip to feature footage captured on the Pocket 3, Action 5 Pro and DJI Drone in DLOG-M and combine them altogether in this highlight video to better understand how footage matching works? 😁
That is a VERY solid idea! Now I just need to convince DJI to send me and the family somewhere cool!
@@DavidManningvlog@DJI HINT HINT!! hahaha
This will be my upgrade for my hero 5 blk
DJI is nailing it once again!
Maybe I need to fly out to Cali to film my versus video 🤔
Get your ass out here!
Dammit Manning!!! Sold me on this camera too!!! Get your money from Insta360 and DJI, that's 3 cameras you sold me this month alone!! Cheers
AND!!! I will get one of those fancy EDC tools from you and Kondor Blue 🤟
Ben, you're a wild boy buying all three of those! But for sure you should buy the EDC tool. THAT is an excellent decision!!!
I love that tracking feature. Great Job again David 👌🏻 I look forward to the test against the other cameras.
Thank you, David! I’ve been anxiously awaiting to see what’s new. I love the fact that DJI is making a conscious effort to make the cameras the way we like to use them.

I am also here for the leopard sharks!
I thought I'd be switching this year - but objectively: GoPro's image is still better. So frustrating because there are so many features missing from GoPro... ARG!
Can you do 4K 240FPS in "Burst Mode"
Great review. Also you have a beautiful family, congrats bro.
My wife and I LOVE the OSMO Action 4. And man, this is worth picking up (and playing Rocks, Paper, Scissors to decide who gets to use it on outings! 🤣 )
As always, thank you for another great review!
Please do an overheating test for this camera compared to the other brands. Thanks.
This is it. I want to see this thing running at 4k/30|60 and actually NOT overheating after 15 minutes.
Looking forward to the DJI Neo video!
The colors look way better than the Action 4. Having a built in 48gb is amazing. Too bad slow motion stabilisation is really bad
I like that you mention that pretty much all indoors is really low light. The majority of my filming is indoors and I constantly argue with my brother that I am in low light for most of my filming. This camera looks like it has some nice features.
QUESSTION: Does the DJI Osmo 5 Pro have the option to record in 32-bit float, or is this feature only available on the DJI Mic 2 via an option?
The DJI Mic 2 is doing the 32 bit float recording internally. Unfortunately still no cameras out there recording 32 bit float internally
The subject tracking move is great👍
Dji listens to their customers. Low light a little shaky. Great innovations are what we need. Good job
oh the vertical tracking mode is actually pretty cool
How does the new Action 5 Pro Super Night mode compare to the Ace Pro Pure Video mode in Low Light? Usually DJI has jitters compared to Insta360. Has that changed or is the Ace Pro still the Low Light champ?
Also, what's the Action Pro Min focusing distance?
Wow I'm sold by the quick capture alone. I really use these cameras like that, carrying them on my pocket for the quick shots.
Is it worth upgrading from the 4, with the 4 being such a beast of an action camera?
That's something I'm going to try to address in the follow up videos because that's a touuuuugh question and I think is going to be pretty individual use case based
there are already comparisons out there. and from the looks of it, the answer (to me at least) is a no. there are instances that the 5's AI messes up and makes the overall quality worse than the 4
still kinda shocked at the licensed sky diver part. what a flex
I don't know if the flex really counts. Haven't jumped in over 10 years😢
Great vlog, awesome explanation, and examples. Audio and low light image quality wins me over. Especially living in the UK 🇬🇧
Waiting on the Ace Pro 2 comparison, but with the ability to connect both DJI Mic 2's I'm not sure what it's going to have to do to beat that!
would love to see a dive test to 60ft, no housing with depth displayed!
I would LOVE to go do that! I took the Action 4 on a wreck dive in Maui last year and it had no problem at 60ft. So pretty sure the new one will be okay too👍👍
Best review of the Action 5 I have watched so far. Thanks! 👍
I didn't think how much I'd like the magnetic power piece from the gopro hero 13.. even without it, this seems incredible.
9:00 I love how you've used astro-turf for your kids play area 😆👌
Looks like a winner...I just got the Action 4 and it's beyond the return period...the lowlight improvement alone looks worth the purchase.
Hey David. Talk to me about over heating. Where you able to get it to overheat. If used stationary inside a building what’s the realistic run time before it shuts off? Thanks David and keep up the great work.
Pretty sure another overheating test is in order!
Only you can make white crocs look cool.👍😂
Hahaha those damn things are comfortable!
Built in storage is a game changer !
Now we just have to wait for Falcam to give us a native DJI Mount to F22 and I’m sold. That Falcam GoPro to F22 Mount has been the best.
Great review! Just ordered my first DJI Action camera after being on the GoPro train since the beginning.
Would you mind to do an extreme low light test ? Thank you.
On it!
Really looking forward to the comparison footage
The tracking feature 😍
Bro. We need a rig breakdown on the comparison rig haha.
Very interesting, thank you for posting!
Nice, I have been waiting for this and the next compare all videos...
Are the buttons still stiff?
Best place for the honest review 💪🏻🔥 keep up the work David
Does the original DJI Mic pair with it too?
side note: when showcasing the differences between 8 bit, 10 bit, hlog etc, i recommend considering in the very last part, combining all four and pausing for a full 3-5 seconds so people can see the differences (assuming they have a decent monitor, and youtube compression considered lol)
Take that GoPro!
Is there any HDMI out at all?
Tracking is pretty cool.
That's it. 👌

Great video and demonstration of the features, thank you! Low light looks impressive. Might be time to upgrade my OG Action! 😅
GoPro's 13 was an embarrassment, now DJI just buried them so far that they won't be able to recover.
entering the new era and I think dji is leading the way..
Right on time 🎉
I set an alarm for 2pm (UK Time), refreshed youtube and there's 5 videos just in my subscriptions :)
Dave gets first go, 'cause he's a nice guy :)
Super nice 🤟🏻 @@HellbellyUK
Well you gents are legends for coming here first!
Nice review. Would it be possible to use one Mic2 and recored on Action 5 and Pocket 3 at the same time? Not sure how useful it might be though :) but instead of using the internal mic recording, one has another option
the magnetic mount is slightly shorter too!

Great preview! I can't wait for the comparison Ace pro 2 vs Action 5
Waiting for Dji Action Pro in India 😊❤
Would be interested to see how it does against pocket 3
Built in mic is super
And the batteries from the 4 are still good. nice!
Does it have voice control
Great video David! I have an action 4 right now. I might get an action 5 pro now. Would be nice to have an extra camera with better performance:

Great review, but isn't it a new sensor, just same size?
Nope. Same sensor with all new performance. That 4nm chip is doing some magic!
Do you think this will work well with the microphones for a small podcast?
Ok, Buying it 😊
this is impressive.... lets lets se what Ace Pro 2 has to offer.... this by far beats the new GoPro.... excited to see whats next!
Much better than GP13 launch, ACtion 5 hit the right spot, better low light quality, excellent day video, backward compatibility with A4 battery, GPS, bigger screen, longer battery
Best reviewer hands down. Thanks for all the info you give. You’re the Best dude. God Bless
At 12:11, I smile when you said Ace Pro "One". Thank you for the hint.
DJI Take My Money Now!!!!
"Insta360 Ace Pro ONE"...
I see what you did there (future proofing is a good thing) :)
I know not what you speak of🤣
i kinda doubt that a new ace pro is coming out this year -- i could be wrong though. but insta isn't a manufacturer that release yearly releases.
@@ryandelacruz6351 new one is coming out very soon
We shall see!
@@ryandelacruz6351 At least one other camera reviewer in a recent video said he was getting his in the post a day or so ago.
