“My vote is iPhone 14/15pro & ditch the GoPro. You’ll be happier. That solves low light & simplifies workflow. DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro better than GoPro in low light. You can also shoot directly to external SSD with USB-C on iPhone 15 Pro “get it off the phone” problem solved.”

dji “DJI Camera's Micro SD Card Data Scare”

I just got back from a weekend trip where I had about 8 hours of content between my Action 5 Pro and my Mini 4 Pro. Popped the SD card out of the Action 5 and put it in the adapter that goes to my PC, ready to copy the videos to my backup drives. "ERROR! Cannot read card. Please format." \[Insert Luke Skywalker NOOOOOO gif here.\] Tried the SD card from the Mini 4 Pro. Same thing. Seriously concerned, I put the cards back in their respective devices. I turn on Action 5 and look to see if playback is working on the files. It works. HALELUJAH! I connect the camera to the PC to move the videos that way. "ERROR! Cannot read card. Please format." Umm, how am I supposed to get these files? I start looking up data recovery software that I bought years ago, then remember the oldest IT trick in the book. I reboot my PC. Insert the SD card into the reader and BAM! Everything works. \[Insert party gif\] What a relief. Just a little anecdote for folks out there, as a reminder to not panic until necessary, and to be grateful every day your tech works without issue.

dji “DJI Osmo Action 6 - It probably isn't for me.”

As a vlog-style creator, I chose the Osmo Action 5 Pro over the Osmo Pocket 3 because of the OA5P's ease-of-use, dual screens, water-proofing, better battery performance, *tremendously* better durability (no gimbal and can be handed over to toddlers), and because it's better for traveling in different weather conditions. While the OA5P was the better choice for me, the OP3 has two significant advantages I wish the OA5P had, and having those would make it the literally perfect camera for me: 1. Bokeh/Subject Separation 2. Low-Light Performance I was looking forward to the release of the DJI Osmo Action 6 mainly because of the variable aperture (f/2.0-4.0). I initially thought that the widest aperture would give the option to introduce bokeh when doing vlogs, but after watching test reviews from Chinese YouTubers, I found out it doesn't really do that. — This makes perfect sense though, since it's an action camera, and action cameras are made to capture everything, which is the complete opposite of bokeh. From my understanding, the only purpose of the f/2.0 Aperture and larger sensor was to shorten the focus distance, improve image quality a bit, and to gather more light for low-light scenes. Now, looking at the low-light performance of the OA6, while the image quality *does* look a bit better when doing side-by-side comparisons (removing flares, starbursts, and other elements), I personally think it doesn't look *that* much better than what my OA5P can do. Overall, the difference is completely negligible to the standard viewer's eye. I always record night footage with a cold-shoe light on, but if the "improved low-light performance" of the OA6 doesn't eliminate the need for an additional light source, then there isn't really enough of a reason to make me switch. These are my thoughts, but I'm hoping to be proven wrong. No hate. I love DJI and I believe they make amazing products. This is just an objective observation of why I currently feel the Osmo Action 6 isn't for my personal use case. I'd love to hear anybody else's thoughts too.

djiosmo “After buying the Osmo Action 5 Pro, I’m starting to doubt my choice…”

Hey everyone, For the past few weeks, I’ve been doing a lot of research because I wanted to buy a camera to start vlogging. In the end, it came down to the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro and the GoPro Hero 13. At the very last moment, I decided to go with the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro since most of the reviews and comments I found online seemed to favor it. However, after joining this subreddit, I’ve noticed quite a few people saying it’s actually *worse* than the GoPro - and that a lot of the hype around it comes from DJI paying influencers for positive reviews. So I’d really like to hear your **honest opinions** on the comparison between the two. For context, I’ve had the Action 5 Pro for about two days now and so far I’m happy with it, except for two things: * The case is really tight - it’s hard to get the camera out. * The magnetic mount feels a bit off-center and doesn’t align perfectly. Curious to hear your experiences and thoughts!

dji “First action cam – DJI Osmo Action 6 or Action 5 Pro?”

Hey everyone, I want to buy my first action camera, mainly for vacation footage and motorcycle riding/vlog stuff. I’m torn between the **DJI Osmo Action 6** and the **Action 5 Pro**. What appeals to me about the Action 6 is its square sensor so that way I can film in both portrait and landscape. But I’m not sure if that advantage is worth the extra cost. Does anyone here own the Action 6 (or both) and can share their experience? Would you say the 6 is worth the upgrade over the 5 Pro for the extra flexibility? Any help or advice would be much appreciated, thanks!
