I used my DJA4 for a week long Disneyland trip and it was the best choice I made. I'll sacrifice perfect video quality for something that captures moments I want to remember forever.
100 Percent - so convenient right? You won't remember the video quality as much as you'll remember the funny thing that happened or how cute your kids were "in the moment"
I think one of the most important arguments, if not THE most important one, is that the Action 5 (as its predecessors) fits super easily into your pocket., Way easier as an Osmo Pocket 3. In addition to that it is very robust. so perfect for family life and also action with your kids. Every other camera (which would less depth of field or even better video quality (what you don't typically need) lacks that possibilities to be asap ready out of your pocket and being super robust at the same time.
@@jostalking thanks for that videos. I have the Action 3 but I feel the Action 5 pro would be worth an upgrade as I can use all accessories and just buy the basic combo. and in image quality upgrade
@@AlexanderBischof Do you like to color grade? I gotta say I really love the 10 bit color, shooting in DLOG M and then bringing back the highlights and shadows is awesome! I think you will be very happy with the 5
Great review! I also use action cams for family stuff. The jitters at night. will go away completely with these settings: 4K 30, EIS at Rocksteady (not +), Shutter 1/100-1/8000 (this is very important, you can also use quadruple your frame rate to 30FPS at 1/120, 60 at 1/240, etc., Texture at -2, Noise Reduction at -1 or -2. In night mode, you can’t adjust ISO. In normal, all these settings apply but make sure ISO is 100-25000.
hmm really excited to try these settings, did you comment on a video before? someone else commented and I forgot to try their settings, but going to take a screenshot this time so I don't forget - appreciate you sharing these!
action 5 pro is the best action cam ever seen. Amazing battery life, excellent color profile and decent picture quality. That's all I need. 4K is just enough to me
I gotta agree with you! But boy have I gotten some people who don't agree with us - At the end of the day its still an action camera, and in my opinion its amazing for what it can do
@@jostalkingyeah, I prefer Action 5 than Gopro because it is the most suitable cam for both vlog and action. Btw, the video transfer speed from cam to app is mind-blowing 😂
Overall, it looked pretty good. I think ironing out all the shaking on a ride loses something of the reality of the ride, so not using max stabilisation is a good move.
Hey thanks 🙏🏽 appreciate you watching. I sometimes have a hard time now deciding between the pocket 3 and the action 5 when picking a camera to take with me.
Another banger! Great breakdown….i have been wanting to do a video for the Action 4 like this one….but now with the 5 out kind of pointless. But great job!
@@jostalking I see that thanks! Trying to do more Sony content. My Sony mic reviews and Sony camera thoughts always seem to do well. I love your videos you let your personality shine through them and now I don’t care what you make I will watch it.
@@PaulFeinberg aww thanks man. I found that once I started doing camera stuff people would watch. I have a bunch of videos ready to go that aren’t camera related, but they don’t seem to get much traction.
Cool vlog man, I have the action 5 but I have yet to use it as a vlogging cam. I’ll try shooting some Halloween clips around my neighborhood soon using the super night mode feature. I have been using the Pocket 3 lately with my vlog and took it to DisneyWorld last March, however; the action cam does come in handy when the shot is more rapid. Thanks, good job.
@@pinoyclan Salamat! You know what I wish? I wish the pocket three had as good of battery life as the action five. I am going to New York in a couple of weeks, and can’t decide which camera to take.
watched up to 7:40 but great video. Quality is great. The only thing that would beat the convenience of this is your phone. If your phone had a comparable night mode and could connect to your DJI mic without any additional things, that would be even more convenient. More me, I choose the phone over having one additional thing to carry around. The phone has different focal points as well; I'll take the drawbacks of image and audio quality and accept that what my phone produces is good enough for my use
First off, thanks for your support! You have stuck with my annoying ass for a while! I totally agree with you though, you can use the the DJI Mic 2 with Filmic Pro app, but it's too much of a setup I feel like. Also I burn though the battery on my phone way too fast, which is why I find myself not using the phone as much if I am shooting a full video. Convince is the key
@@jamessaykhamphone9282 that’s a really tough question. If you need durabilty I’d say yes it is the best. If you need best picture quality I’d say the Sony zve1 is better. If you want something in between then it’s the pocket 3.
Hi there thanks for checking my video out. I had the Small Rig cage for the DJI Action 4 and it still fits the 5, so I am using that one. Here is a link if you want one, I think it's on sale too. amzn.to/4gSjZMV
@@jostalking if you still have the Action4, I'd love to see a side-by-side comparison of 4 vs 5. I have the 4 and absolutely love it, but want the 5's built in mic receiver capability. Also, I wonder if you can pair the Pocket3's mic with the 5?
other than the battery juice for the multihandle, are there any more benefit? thinking of getting one, but the downside for me is it wont extend as compared to the stick that comes with the combo.
If you got the combo package with the 3 batteries, then you don't really need the multi handle. I wrestled with the fact that this handle didnt extend. In the end I got it because I was going to Disneyland and they did not allow sticks that extended in the park. One of my other considerations was this stick by DJI because it does have a tripod base. Here is the link amzn.to/4eLouag
The lut that you’re using is it the same one from the pocket three? The free one that DJigives. Also, what is your mic Settings? because I feel like when I’m recording my kids it only picks up my voice and if they’re like 5 feet away it does not pick them up.
@@jostalking I also use the DJI mic 2 but I feel like it doesn’t pick up other people’s voice unless they are standing next to me. For example When I am chasing the kids at the playground, it does not pick up their voice unless I attach the mic to them .
@@justfishing9am Hmmm, I don't know - if you notice though, most of the time I had the mic in my hand and was moving it around to peoples mouths, including my own. It was so loud at Disneyland that I didnt think that the mic on my chest would work well enough. There are many times though in premiere pro where I will boost the audio, do you edit in premiere pro? Or do you not edit at all?

I just bought it! Thanks for the great review!!!
oh awesome! Congrats - I hope you like it as much as I do - are you going to be vlogging with it?

@@QuicknStraight that’s a tough decision, I love both because of the mic 2 connecting to them.
@@jostalking Yeah, the one thing that puts me off the Pocket 3 a it is the inability to have the background in focus if you're vlogging!

Wow! What a treat to have someone from Peru, thank you so much for watching
Nice video Jo. Keep it up.
Hey buddy - thanks so much!! Comments like this keep me going
Happy birthday Jo!
Salamat!!!
All my videos on youtube shot by iPhone , but really dji osmo action 5 pro nice
oh thank you!! Appreciate you for commenting! Your channel looks like its really growing too!
i had mine for a month and havent really used it but your video inspired me to vlog with it! Are you using a ND or auto settings?
You gotta use that puppy!!! Thanks for commenting and saying hi

Great review! I hope a firmware update with higher bit rates will improve the video quality. Do you know if that grip is waterproof?
actually nevermind. i see that its connected via the usbc port so it's not sealed
Sadly no, it is not waterproof. I also wish it would extend, but you can’t have everything. Appreciate you watching!!!
Is it better than its competitors for family vlogs? For example insta360 ace pro 2, Dji pocket 3, Sony zv1f

If you add some tripod feet to the Charging Handle you get the extra length. I believe it has a 1/4" socket on the bottom.
