When it comes to rugged reliability, the Osmo Action 5 Pro feels reassuringly well made. The camera itself is small, lightweight (145g) and sturdy, with few protruding parts and a removable, replaceable cover to help prevent damage to the surface of the lens.

As mentioned, DJI says the Action 5 Pro has a 13.5-stop dynamic range. Since many mirrorless cameras tend to range from 12 to 15 stops, it’s an impressive specification coming from an action camera with a much smaller 1/1.3" sensor -- though it's worth noting the Action 5 Pro's sensor is larger than the GoPro Hero 13’s 1/1.9-inch sensor.

The Osmo Action 5 Pro features an improved sensor, up to 4-hours of continuous recording, and 960fps super slow motion.

Drone maker DJI plans to take on GoPro with its Osmo Action 5’s improved sensor it claims rivals professional cameras.
