DJI’s Osmo Action 5 Pro Set to Launch with Exciting Upgrades

DJI has officially announced the launch of its Osmo Action 5 Pro on September 19, 2024, at 9 AM EDT. This new action camera is shaping up to be a worthy competitor to the GoPro Hero 13 Black, with some notable improvements over its predecessor.

Pricing and Specs for the DJI Action 5 Pro

The Action 5 Pro is expected to see a price hike, with the Adventure Combo bundle rumored to cost around €479, and the standard bundle coming in at €379.

We expect the US prices to be the same or very close to these numbers ($479 and $379) as DJI’s products are typically slightly less expensive over here. Although you would have to add the sales tax still, which in Europe is already included in the price.

While pricier, it’s packing some serious upgrades:

• A 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor with f/2.8 aperture and 155-degree FOV
• Massive jump to 40MP for still images (up from 10MP)
• 4K video recording at 120fps
• 64GB internal storage (a first for action cams)
• Improved battery life, possibly up to 4 hours

New Features

DJI’s not just bumping specs – they’re adding some cool new tricks:

• Night mode for low-light shooting
• Super slow-motion capabilities
• 360° Horizon steady stabilization
• Advanced subject tracking

Plus, they’re upping the connectivity game with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0.

Design and Build

From the leaks, it looks like DJI’s sticking with the rugged design we know and love. It’ll likely handle whatever adventure you throw at it.

Over the last few day, more information has been leaked and shared by Igor Bogdanov and Jasper Ellens on X. The leaked info includes a user manual for the Action 5 Pro, new photos of the camera and accessories, web store listings, and someone attending Apple’s “It’s Glowtime” event on Monday wearing the DJI Action 5 Pro on his shoulder.
