Thank you for doing a lot of video tests and the other RUclipsrs don't record many video tests. They always try to explain everything very quickly and that's why their videos are very short. but this is a review video, not a Tiktok video. You should take your time with the videos and explain everything calmly and inform us. I especially liked your video. Thanks for the video again.
Thank you very much for sharing the video. Summarizing: 1. If you want the best image buy a $4,000 camera plus a special lens. 2. If you blog indoors and in the city, buy a Osmo Pocket 3 3. If you do point 2 + fixings in rain, in the field, adventure and sports, buy the DJI Osmo Action 5 4. Buy the 2 DJI cameras and you will be happy
Now that I have both the Pocket 3 and Action 5 Pro, I have been loving comparing the two, and I agree each has their strengths...for me that makes them excellent companions. I recently accepted the fact that my brand new expensive "professional" camera is just too unreliable to use for filming, and instead of looking for a new video-centric camera, have decided to mostly just rely on these two cameras. I absolutely love them. As per your recommendation in a different video, I also picked up the Hohem...which is a fantastic budget friendly gimbal. Yeah, I wish it worked with the DJI directly, but what it doesn't do my Pocket 3 mostly pics up. The only thing I feel is lacking in this set up is a tighter field of view, but I'll adjust. I think these three pieces of gear make an excellent go-kit for their light weight and ease of use, and am loving them. And I'm just having sooo much fun. Two of these three I can say I picked up as a result of your videos, so once again, thank you so much for what you do. 🙏🖖
This is exactly what I’m going to get. I have the pocket 3 and I love it and now I’m going to get the Action 5 as it’s baby brother. I’m looking forward to using both.
@Ohmverse I bought the OA 5 pro and an Oachuan Smart G1 Pro. The DJI does not work with any stabilization Gimbal, according to DJI. This makes no sense since the OA 5 Pro is waterproof, and the Pocket 3 is not. Some companies feel that to make sales, the elimination of said features like Gimbal operation eliminates product competition and sales. The Pocket 3 is more for vlogging and is not waterproof, so they need to get this software implemented for Gimbals. What professional camera do you have that is notgood for video. My Z8 does a good job in video recording.
We own both the Pocket 3 and Action 4. The Pocket 3 is outstanding as a vlogging camera. The low light on the Action 4 is very poor - the pocket copes pretty well - settings depending
I bought both. I plan on using the Action 5 for my camping and fishing trips. The Pocket 3 for more intimate scenarios like gear reviews, etc. The Pocket 3 is just a very hyper sensitive device, I feel I could break it easily if dropped lol
I think the pocket 3 pushes up the shadows too much during the day, feels a bit over exposed. The 5 look’s sharper to me I like the image it produces during daylight shooting, the 3 looks overly processed during the day, sky is blown out and shadows too , it’s almost like iPhone. It evens itself out though for low light, this works for it … loved the review
In the past I had the first Osmo Action and I was very happy without modern features and tecnology but now I bought the Osmo Pocket 3 two months ago for filming my travels and I can’t be more satisfied with this choice. Both cameras you show in the video are very good options but Pocket 3 is more delicated, obviously. Thanks for your work.
The action 5 is a great choice for vlogging. But many people are saying the action 4 footage looks nicer. So hopefully DJI will improve with future updates. Also, be aware that the pocket 3 image quality is superior; looking far more like a professional camera, with excellent close focus on the face. Although the action 5; as well as action 4 may have improved with this since the action 3, it is still not as sharp as it should be on close focus, when compared to the pocket 3. Cheers.
@@TamaraGabrielUK most of the travel vloggers are now using the Pocket 3, because they're mostly walking and talking or filming themselves drinking coffee.
@@TamaraGabrielUK technically You don't but I can't imagine walking for an hour with the action 5 and holding it with Your hand Vs holding the pocket 3. I'm talking no additional money spent and no accessories. Action 5 is just a camera. Pocket 3 is a camera and a gimbal
I have both cameras and only use them to make city walking videos and I have to say that DJI Action 5 doesn't give the terrible overexposed videos when I am walking on the streets. Using the pocket 3 I know I will have a lot of white skies when I am walking trough narrow streets on a sunny day. I wish Pocket 3 had the great DJI Action 5 exposure control, it would be the best camera for city walks.
Nicely done! I enjoy the action camera when the background is more important than the face…which for me is most often as I’m usually outdoors on an adventure. If we want to simply vlog (eg a talking head) the OP3 a clear winner. That said, I’ve seen some folks using either with great success in almost any scenario…an OP3 on a glacier or in a kayak or an Osmo action camera on a street in the evening. It’s more about the story than the video. You should try one day having your children record a short clip of you…what they think would be fun! We would probably all enjoy…but make sure it’s on the action camera, and even then maybe the older one.
Thanks Tamara. Very good review. Not until I purchase and have them tested on the field, I wouldn’t know. I hike, so that means a lot of dust, dirty hands and water. But I also vlog while hiking and many time I hike night time. I need minimal equipment. It makes choosing harder. I want the crisp low light, the bokeh, the wide view and the gimbal aspect, but also the protection from dust and water proofing. I guess, that’s the situation when I need both or have to keep swapping when using. Most of the time, I don’t have time to fuss over, it’s basically point and shoot and go.
Thank you for the bit in the video about the mics and the Lark M2 I didn't know you could take the door off the Action 5 to fit the receiver.. Great video and help as always.👍
I really want to buy the DJI pocket 3. I just wonder what the different Dji Pocket 3 combo.i bought last week, my Dji osmo 4. Thanks for sharing your video really amazing
Exceptional, comprehensive review! I’ve watched your video a few times. Used your links to get the Gimbal, Action 5, & DJI mic 2 Thank you and keep this phenomenal content coming!
Love how informative your videos are. I love my pocket 3 but ran into a couple of problems where I had to stop filming due to the beautiful Welsh weather lol. So I saved up for the action 4 and that week I was going to order I had a notification of the release date of the action 5. I waited and it come the other day and I’m so happy with it! I was going to wait for the ace pro2 to come out but, I just like the way the settings are on DJI and I wanted to be able to use both cameras in a video without the viewers being able to notice and the action 5 did not disappoint on that. One thing I will say is double check the fps as I did in my last video up the mountain I filmed in 120fps and had it on 4K/4:3 instead of 24/30 fps 4K/16:9 😂 so totaly ruined the footage 🤦🏽♀️ all a learning curve.
Thank you Tamara for covering the differences between these two cameras! Bonus footage using the Hohem at 6:49 was great, amazing how much that improves the night time recording on the Action cameras 😀Have you ever covered using a z axis stabilizer with the DJI Pocket?
Great video! I'm seeing a lot of people complaining about the OAP5 and I'm waiting for the ace pro 2 to see what's better but honestly, at least from a non-expert prospective, the action 5 pro seems great. 99% leaning towards this. Thank you for the excellent content! 👌😊
I am between OA5 and Ace Pro 2 as well. For live streaming/adventure/vlogging, do you think should get the DJI Action 5 Pro now, or wait for Insta360 Ace Pro 2? Is the flip screen really needed for vlogging?
@@neil527 yeah the problem is that without the ace pro 2 out is impossible to compare. However, if you're in a rush, I'm 100% sure the OAP5 will do an excellent 👌 job mate. Adventure/vlogging, not sure about streaming but I don't see why not. Also, one of the few reason that will 99.9% make me get the action 5 is that it comes with a vlog combo (in Europe) that includes the DJI mic 2 and it's so useful...for me it's a great pick! 😁🖐️
Nice video. For live streaming/adventure/vlogging, do you think should get the DJI Action 5 Pro now, or wait for Insta360 Ace Pro 2? Is the flip screen really needed for vlogging?
I would say, if you're not using the camera for diving, or any sport related environments then get the Pocket 3. Better image and low light quality. Bigger sensor helps and gimbal helps a lot. I use both cameras for different applications, but if I had to choose 1 it would be the Pocket 3 all the way.
If I don't want to film myself, but want to film while traveling, what should I choose? Pocket 3 is more expensive and you can't film underwater with it.
@@photovokal8941 Yes, the Pocket 3 is not water proof, but has much better low light performance and stabilization in low light as well. When you walk around with the Action 5 pro in low light areas the digital stabilization doesn't work correctly. You need to choose between weather sealing and image quality, which is why I have both for different use cases.
I really like the Pocket 3 and was on the fence about this for months but I will be moving to Florida soon so I ended up getting the Action 5 Pro. I don't regret it at all because both camera are great. I think I was caught up in the idea of having a mini gimbal. I just know with moving near the beach, I can’t afford to have a vulnerable camera like the Pocket 3. Plus, Florida is very humid and tends to have rain so the Action 5 Pro was a better option.
Nice comparison, there both great cameras. You just to choose the one that fits your needs the best. Or get both, that's what I did. Great video, thanks for sharing.
I worry about the durability and my clumsyness to have the Pocket, but an action in a case with a very hands free approach is everything I want, plus a very small footprint check everybox I can think of, my wish list is screw on lenses(that function and are not just a gimmick) but that don't break the bank and ports that don't reside behind latches but I know that would compromise the water proofing. The Action is as close to perfect for my needs
Pocket 3 to use when you need perfect stabilization on 1/60 Shutter in low light. No digital Stabilization, A Gimbal and 1 inch sensor. There is no competition. Action cameras are for outdoors in daylight
I decided on the pocket 3 and the Insta 360 x4 as I'm going to Nepal next month, also taking my DJI mini pro3, Sony A7IV and 6700. I did watch all your vlogs on the pocket 3 before I bought it. The Action 5 wasn't out at the time but all good 😉 Tamara can you please give me the link for that ND filter kit you showed in this vlog for the Pocket 3 ? Thank you God Bless.
OA 5 is a win for me, because even without a gimbal, the footage is actually comparable and sometimes even better than a dedicated gimbal camera, and its rugged and weatherproof, and its a lot cheaper!
Honestly, I own the Osmo Action 1, 4 & 5 - and I own all 4 Oso Pockets 1, 2 & 3 and I have to say the "leap" from 1-5 for the Action series is simply not too great whereas in the Pocket series the difference is much more noticeable.
I don't own any cameras currently.. I'm thinking of buying Action 5 Pro & small phone for pictures and portrait video like regular samsung s23 ... What do you think?
It all depends on what you're doing, it's fantastic to have an action cam if you go swimming, or surfing, or skiing or any other activities where you'll likely to break any other kind of camera or a phone. But if you're NOT doing something active or wet, just about anything else will likely be better. If you want good background blur for example for those striking videos/photos, you need a mirrorless camera, the fake AI one from your phone is far from perfect, but you may not care.
@@DigiDriftZone Thank you for your response.. I really want an action camera because I ride my bike a lot.. and secondly I want it to work alongside the phone camera in RUclips studio filming from inside the games room... unfortunately the mirrorless camera is very very expensive in my country .
@@MizoTVWrestling Phones are not too bad these days but also don't ignore options like an old second hand Sony ZV-E10, they can be found dirt cheap now that the new one is available.
Given how popular DJI action cameras have become. I’m surprised nobody has made a dedicated gimbal for the action cameras so you can get full functionality of the menu and buttons etc
DJI is being a dick with bluetooth protocol. That's the reason why nobody has made a 3rd party Bluetooth remote yet where GoPro have plenty. No one has cracked it yet
Tamara, love your videos keep up the great work. Can you use Osmo action 5 with the hohem v3 and use the tracking feature thus matching the pocket 3 for vlogs. Etc. Love a vid comparison.
I have 3 little kids I wanted op3 but I don’t like to stress out about it being very fragile. So I’m thinking maybe action5pro or ace pro 2 coming? What do yall think?
Love and thanks for the comparison, that in expensive gimbal made my decision a little easier. For me I think the action 5 has more versatility with that gimbal or something similar
I have the sony a6700 with 11mmbut you cant walk with it. so i have the DJI RS4. But this setup is on the gavey side. Action 5 can be an addition in daylight situations
@@Sambo111 Is a6700 it too heavy for walking and shooting type of vlog? I'm a beginner and don't have much budget .I want to do both photography and vlogs. What would u recommend.
Just wondering if the Dji action cameras have any focusing modes like product showcase mode like the Dji pocket . Or any other action cameras like ace pro go pro etc?
As much as I want to like the DJI ecosystem, I can't get past the security concerns of having to side-load the DJI app on my smartphone. From a security perspective, having to side-load an app is a big no-no. Looks like I'll probably be going with a GoPro.
Both! I love my pocket 3 but I want a smaller and more rugged camera for vlogging that will give me better low light performance than my GoPro. The action 5 is it. Tamara, what’s all this buzz about but rate? Is that nonsense, or real? What would you like DJI to address in a firmware update for the action 5? PS: I’ve been looking for that Halloween pocket 3 footage, is more of that in one of your videos? I’m going to use my pocket 3 on Halloween!
Don't like the normal profile of the action 5. Looks too contrasty. Highlights look flat/too HDR for some reason. Add these two things together and you have a look that appears very artificial. The pocket 3 on the other hand looks great and very natural. I see no reason to use log, when the normal profile is that good.
Rathet than having hohem isteady pro, I'd rather get the AI one like V3 with action cam mounting plate. Now you have a pocket 3 with 2 stop worse low light performance
@tamaragabrielUK great content. Quick question it looks like you were able to get thr hollyland to hook into the action 5 pro. Is that correct? I have the hollyland lark m2 and was hoping itd work with action 5 pro. This has been one of biggest holdups from me buying one of the action style cameras. Can you confirm. Thx
Hey Tamara! Me again! So the Mrs has gone with the isteady 4 and I've gone with the M6 kit. Did I see you had a phone holder on your isteady 4? If you could let me know I'll get her one. I didn't want to be an 'askhole' so I did check first but I couldn't find it 🙏
For walking and talking sometimes I use an action camera, sometimes I use the Pocket 3, but I don't ninja walk when walking and talking only when capturing b-roll.
@@TamaraGabrielUK I got the Action 5 Pro and have not been that impressed with the image it produces. I may return it and wait for the Ace Pro 2, which could be better. I have DJI Drones & the Pocket 3, so the Action 5 would fit in well. Hope they clean up the image in both day light and low light. The low light jitters and noise are ridiculous at this stage of the game.
You will get more run time out of the new battery in the OA4 but not as much as you do in the OA5 due to the new chip in the OA5 being much more power efficient.
Die große Schwäche dieser Action-Cams ist die fehlende Tiefenschärfe. Das macht das Bild zu unruhig und überfüllt - Ich muss wohl wirklich über die Pocket 3 nachdenken. Ich habe sogar noch eine pocket 1, aber da stört mich die lange Reaktionszeit, das winzige Display und die fehlenden Möglichkeiten für externen Ton. Im Moment kostet die Pocket 3 (in Deutschland) ohne alles, also die Kamera pur, 420€.... Funktionieren auch andere wireless mics mit der Pocket 3 oder nur die eigenen?
When you buy the DJI Mic 2 it will work interchangeably with the Action 4/5, and Pocket 3 via Bluetooth. No need to buy a mic for each camera unless you want to record on each camera at the same time and use the mic.
@@TamaraGabrielUK ok, autotranslation obviously does not work well. I was wondering if I can use a third-party-mic with the pocket 3 because I already have a wirless mic from Holyland. But I'll find it out anyway. Thanks again! Grüße,

Nothing yet, but once the Action 5 gets a firmware update I’ll be sharing all my settings and editing workflow.

Any recommendations on a LUT for D Log M to “normal” on the Action 5?

did you use rocksteady while using the hohem? is the hohem reliable/smooth enough?
Thanks ☺️ Yeah, I had RockSteady on.
Hangisi daha iyi?
Pocket 3 to use when you need perfect stabilization on 1/60 Shutter in low light. No digital Stabilization, A Gimbal and 1 inch sensor. There is no competition.
Action cameras are for outdoors in daylight
I decided on the pocket 3 and the Insta 360 x4 as I'm going to Nepal next month, also taking my DJI mini pro3, Sony A7IV and 6700. I did watch all your vlogs on the pocket 3 before I bought it. The Action 5 wasn't out at the time but all good 😉 Tamara can you please give me the link for that ND filter kit you showed in this vlog for the Pocket 3 ? Thank you God Bless.
I have the insta x3 and go 3, now I'm so tempted between this 2... I heard the op3 its v fragile... need one for daily videos.
Another great video, TG. I love both. I'll have to just close my eyes and choose 1. Or order both, test things out and return one.
OA 5 is a win for me, because even without a gimbal, the footage is actually comparable and sometimes even better than a dedicated gimbal camera, and its rugged and weatherproof, and its a lot cheaper!
💯
What do you think is best?
Honestly, I own the Osmo Action 1, 4 & 5 - and I own all 4 Oso Pockets 1, 2 & 3 and I have to say the "leap" from 1-5 for the Action series is simply not too great whereas in the Pocket series the difference is much more noticeable.
I bet the Pocket 5 Pro will be better than both of those !!
does this mean a Pocket 4 pro is in the near future?
I don't own any cameras currently.. I'm thinking of buying Action 5 Pro & small phone for pictures and portrait video like regular samsung s23 ... What do you think?
It all depends on what you're doing, it's fantastic to have an action cam if you go swimming, or surfing, or skiing or any other activities where you'll likely to break any other kind of camera or a phone. But if you're NOT doing something active or wet, just about anything else will likely be better.
If you want good background blur for example for those striking videos/photos, you need a mirrorless camera, the fake AI one from your phone is far from perfect, but you may not care.
@@DigiDriftZone Thank you for your response.. I really want an action camera because I ride my bike a lot.. and secondly I want it to work alongside the phone camera in RUclips studio filming from inside the games room... unfortunately the mirrorless camera is very very expensive in my country .
@@MizoTVWrestling Phones are not too bad these days but also don't ignore options like an old second hand Sony ZV-E10, they can be found dirt cheap now that the new one is available.
I would get the Action 5@@MizoTVWrestling
Given how popular DJI action cameras have become. I’m surprised nobody has made a dedicated gimbal for the action cameras so you can get full functionality of the menu and buttons etc
DJI is being a dick with bluetooth protocol. That's the reason why nobody has made a 3rd party Bluetooth remote yet where GoPro have plenty. No one has cracked it yet
Tamara, love your videos keep up the great work. Can you use Osmo action 5 with the hohem v3 and use the tracking feature thus matching the pocket 3 for vlogs. Etc. Love a vid comparison.
It fits but it’s not ideal. You’d be better off with the Hohem MT2 with the tracking module.
I have 3 little kids I wanted op3 but I don’t like to stress out about it being very fragile. So I’m thinking maybe action5pro or ace pro 2 coming?
What do yall think?
Thank you for this detailed review
Love and thanks for the comparison, that in expensive gimbal made my decision a little easier. For me I think the action 5 has more versatility with that gimbal or something similar
I have the sony a6700 with 11mmbut you cant walk with it. so i have the DJI RS4. But this setup is on the gavey side. Action 5 can be an addition in daylight situations
@@Sambo111 Is a6700 it too heavy for walking and shooting type of vlog? I'm a beginner and don't have much budget .I want to do both photography and vlogs. What would u recommend.
@@prayagraj999
6700 with prime lens as 11mm with HLG profile has amaizing quality but walking is not possible witout a gimble
Just wondering if the Dji action cameras have any focusing modes like product showcase mode like the Dji pocket . Or any other action cameras like ace pro go pro etc?
Tamara, thank you! Can I get a link to the mobile phone holder on your iSteady Pro 4?
All the links are in the description, but here you go geni.us/DSsA
3:26 which one is more stressed on low light. you said, "more on action 5 pro though it's more stressed on action 5 pro"
I will wait for pocket 3
As much as I want to like the DJI ecosystem, I can't get past the security concerns of having to side-load the DJI app on my smartphone. From a security perspective, having to side-load an app is a big no-no. Looks like I'll probably be going with a GoPro.
Why there is nothing about the internal mics. Many users of those cameras do not use external mics.
@@igalsx because she talks about vlogging
Fantastic comparison!
Thank you 😊
Use both for different situations
Both! I love my pocket 3 but I want a smaller and more rugged camera for vlogging that will give me better low light performance than my GoPro. The action 5 is it.
Tamara, what’s all this buzz about but rate? Is that nonsense, or real? What would you like DJI to address in a firmware update for the action 5?
PS: I’ve been looking for that Halloween pocket 3 footage, is more of that in one of your videos? I’m going to use my pocket 3 on Halloween!
Great comparison. Thanks.
Pocket 3 is a winner
I am searching for your LUTS i can't find it? Can you please share the link here.
Thanks 😊
Don't like the normal profile of the action 5. Looks too contrasty. Highlights look flat/too HDR for some reason. Add these two things together and you have a look that appears very artificial. The pocket 3 on the other hand looks great and very natural. I see no reason to use log, when the normal profile is that good.
for me absolutely the Osmo Pocket 3 🙂
What happens if you crank your shutter speed up manually on the action 5 to 1/120 or 1/240 and abandon the 180 degree shutter rule?
we have updates on low bitrate?
Both are great. Id sayget both.
Can the action 5 be used in vertical for creating shorts and reels like the pocket 3?
Yes
@@TamaraGabrielUK thanks!
Thank you sooo much the best video about this subject ❤❤❤
You're very welcome 😊
What is the main camera you used in the video?
Sony A7s III.
@@TamaraGabrielUK thank youu
Is oa5 battry case can do multiple charges like a mic case. Or just as charging hub only
Just a charging hub, like the drone battery cases.
@TamaraGabrielUK owh orite. Thanks
Great review, as always! Thank you!!
Thanks ☺️
Rathet than having hohem isteady pro, I'd rather get the AI one like V3 with action cam mounting plate. Now you have a pocket 3 with 2 stop worse low light performance
i have a dji pocket 3 and an action 5 but both camera colours are totally different how do I get the colours to look similar?
You have shoot in D-Log M, when you convert and grade the footage it’ll match nicely.
Please help us to show us how to use hollyland m2 wireless mic DJi action 5 pro please
@tamaragabrielUK great content. Quick question it looks like you were able to get thr hollyland to hook into the action 5 pro. Is that correct? I have the hollyland lark m2 and was hoping itd work with action 5 pro. This has been one of biggest holdups from me buying one of the action style cameras. Can you confirm. Thx
Yeah, it works, you just need to remove the OA5’s usb-c door.
There’s nothing like pocket 3.
Hey Tamara! Me again! So the Mrs has gone with the isteady 4 and I've gone with the M6 kit. Did I see you had a phone holder on your isteady 4? If you could let me know I'll get her one. I didn't want to be an 'askhole' so I did check first but I couldn't find it 🙏
Found it 🤣🤣🤣
@BenCPhotog 👍🏾
Can’t get the code to work for the UK purchase
When you record a video in P3 while walking then do you do ninja walk?
Nah, not while walking and talking. I only do it when shooting b-roll.
@@TamaraGabrielUK thanks for replying. So while walking and talking you use Action cam?
For walking and talking sometimes I use an action camera, sometimes I use the Pocket 3, but I don't ninja walk when walking and talking only when capturing b-roll.
Are you hearing anything about an Action 5 firmware update?
There's definitely gonna be one, just don't know when.
@@TamaraGabrielUK I got the Action 5 Pro and have not been that impressed with the image it produces. I may return it and wait for the Ace Pro 2, which could be better. I have DJI Drones & the Pocket 3, so the Action 5 would fit in well. Hope they clean up the image in both day light and low light. The low light jitters and noise are ridiculous at this stage of the game.
Can the battery of the oa5 pro also be used in the oa4?. And will the battery life be long when you use the OA4? Thanks for the answer
Yes and yes.
You will get more run time out of the new battery in the OA4 but not as much as you do in the OA5 due to the new chip in the OA5 being much more power efficient.
Thankyou guys.
Die große Schwäche dieser Action-Cams ist die fehlende Tiefenschärfe. Das macht das Bild zu unruhig und überfüllt - Ich muss wohl wirklich über die Pocket 3 nachdenken. Ich habe sogar noch eine pocket 1, aber da stört mich die lange Reaktionszeit, das winzige Display und die fehlenden Möglichkeiten für externen Ton. Im Moment kostet die Pocket 3 (in Deutschland) ohne alles, also die Kamera pur, 420€....
Funktionieren auch andere wireless mics mit der Pocket 3 oder nur die eigenen?
When you buy the DJI Mic 2 it will work interchangeably with the Action 4/5, and Pocket 3 via Bluetooth. No need to buy a mic for each camera unless you want to record on each camera at the same time and use the mic.
@@TamaraGabrielUK ok, autotranslation obviously does not work well. I was wondering if I can use a third-party-mic with the pocket 3 because I already have a wirless mic from Holyland. But I'll find it out anyway. Thanks again! Grüße,
Ah, yes you can 😊
Looking forward to this
Thankyou tamara!
