I'm currently in Japan with the Pocket 2, which has been great, but I'm a camera geek and wanted a 2nd camera, especially since the pocket 2 is always running out of battery! I was contemplating this action 5 camera - and you've sold me on it! Best part is if i buy it in japan, I can get 10% off for tax free, plus another 7% with a voucher for tourists. It's already $100 cheaper here than Australia, so I'm definitely winning!
New subscriber here! Yours was one of the videos here on RUclips that convinced me to get one. Loved your video and honest reviews. Bought it just a few hours ago. 😊
This is the review everyone actually needs. :) I returned mine especially because of the "inconspicuous food shots" point only because I ended up get the Meta Smart glasses. HOWEVER, without the smart glasses, this Osmo Action 5 is definitely less conspicuous in cafe ordering/meal interactions than even the Pocket 3.
I love my action 5 pro. Is your footage straight out of camera or Dlog? And what settings do you use? Great video especially good indoors! May I ask your inside settings? Such as on train or inside restaurant?
Hey! The footage is 10bit straight out of camera, with auto exposure set to -.3 stops. I trusted the camera a lot to get the best image and I think it turned out great! I just increased slightly contrast and saturation on post.
Nice video, I've been looking for this kind of video before but haven't found any 😀 Did you hold the camera by hand throughout the entire video, or did you use a camera handle or tripod for some parts? Also, how does it feel to hold the camera? Does it tend to overheat during use?
I hand-held it for most of this video! No issues with heat, actually it was quite convenient as the record button starts recording even if the camera was off.
Hey thanks! I just practice, for all the travel do, I make vlogs, and sometimes they’re not good so I don’t upload them. But practice is still practice so I recommend just shooting everything and finding your own style. I hope this helps!
Heya! Thailand is a great place! I loved the food! Settings: I set sharpness to lowest, recording in 4:3 aspect ratio, 10bit color, and auto exposure around -0.3. Hope this helps!
Man im going to japan and ph in 1 1/2 weeks but got the osmo pocket 3 and didn't open it yet. Idk if should return it for acepro 2 (i know this is an osmo video tho). Considering it might rain LOL
oh wow enjoy your trip! but for rainy conditions, I have to recommend either the ace pro 2 or the DJI Action. I don't think the pocket 3 would handle rain well.
@@aransamson I'll probably end up just using my phones if it rains tbh. I already bought accessories for the pocket but can't return since they're from aliexpress. Would be a waste. The quality looks too good to change it out. :/
Thank you for making this video so we can see how it performs irl. Would you recommend this as an alternative for DJI Osmo Pocket 3? I’ve been wanting to purchase OP3 for daily and travel vlogs, but it’s sold out everywhere here in the Ph 🥲
this definitely is a good alternative! I would have gotten the pocket actually, but I thought the action 5 would be better for my purposes as I tend to be a little more rough with my use 😅 either option would be good for vlogging I think! The action 5 also has a remote handle thing that can help with vlogging, if that interests you
Hey! This video is kinda blowing up, like and subscribe if you’re into camera gear, and Japan travel! See you in our next vid!
i agree, great camera, great picture, great battery life. and inconspicuous.

great content :) what's your camera setting though? 4k/24fps?
Thank you! and yes it was 4k/24ps but at 4:3 aspect ratio, cropped in post to 16:9
best review!!
Glad you enjoyed it!

I think its even less conspicuous than a phone even. Its just so small. The glasses seem super interesting though! Thanks for stopping by!

Amazing video, I'd like to buy one but is 2x more in Brazil than buy in another country.
Thats unfortunate! I hope you’re able to find one for a good price!
This is a relly helpful video for us wanting to have an action camera for vlogging, thank you. Makes me want to buy it already 🥹

Tempted to buy an Osmo Action after watching this video 😅
Yes! I think its a good supplement to the osmo pocket! 🔥
How about insta ace pro 2?
Maybe a good alternative, especially from what I have seen it looks like it has sharper image quality. I’ll see if i can make a comparison video!
@@aransamson thank you sir keep it up❤️
great travel video. did you learn how to shoot travel video? because I am struggling. please give me a hint.
Hey thanks! I just practice, for all the travel do, I make vlogs, and sometimes they’re not good so I don’t upload them. But practice is still practice so I recommend just shooting everything and finding your own style. I hope this helps!
Sir can i ask what is your exact settings in your A5pro using here in your travel?
Heya! I set sharpness to lowest, recording in 4:3 aspect ratio, 10bit color, and auto exposure around -0.3. Hope this helps!
@@aransamson thank you so much😊
@@aransamson Did you also tweak noise reduction? thanks!
I’m at 90% in buying this action camera. Hahaha! Would you know if the ND filters from Action 3/4 fits the action 5pro?
I looked it up for you, it looks like they should fit just fine!
Thank you! I’m at 95% now. Hahaha! New subscriber here! ☺️
Do you have regular zoom level 1 in your video or what level bro? Thanks
Heya! I used the full sensor (4:3) and cropped in post! Hope this helps
I just set to record at 4:3 widest and i crop in post. More flexibility for me
How much was the coffee? in USD?
I forget but I think it was around 20USD for a cup. Prices were dependent on the beans
Nice video! Hope to see more videos. New subscriber here. 🎉
Thanks for the support! I'm trying to make more travel videos, so let me know what else you'd like to see!
Hello watch from Thailand. Please tell me which setting for this vdo. please and thank you.
Heya! Thailand is a great place! I loved the food!
Settings: I set sharpness to lowest, recording in 4:3 aspect ratio, 10bit color, and auto exposure around -0.3. Hope this helps!
@@aransamson Thank you bro great vdo and wanna see your vdo in Thailand soon.

Your video is great❤but how come your girlfriend speaks English so much better?
Thanks for stopping by but I dunno, she’s American 😆
I was just joking around😂

@@aransamson Thank you so much for your response! I’ll look into more details about the Action 5 Pro if it suits all my needs. 😊
