DJI Releases Osmo Action 5 Pro
The camera delivers up to four hours of continuous use with a single battery, features built-in subject centering and tracking, and is waterproof up to 66' without a case.
DJI has released the Osmo Action 5 Pro. The camera features a 1/1.3" sensor with a 2.4 μm pixel size and a high dynamic range of up to 13.5 stops. Images can be captured in 10-bit D-Log M and support hybrid log-gamma high-brightness displays. It can also shoot high-dynamic low-light video at 4K/60fps. Additionally, SuperNight mode is enabled by AI noise-reduction algorithms that can assist in extremely low-light environments. The Osmo Action 5 Pro delivers up to four hours of continuous use with a single battery, a 50-percent improvement over its predecessor. This is made possible with a lower-power-consumption 4nm chip, a larger 1950mAh battery and a proprietary DJI algorithm that optimizes for energy savings. Even in temperatures as low as -4°F, the camera can reliably record video for up to 3.6 hours. The battery can also deliver two hours of shooting from a 15-minute charge using the DJI 30W USB-C Charger. The camera offers built-in subject centering and tracking, allowing creators to shoot without a gimbal. It also offers waterproofing depth at 66’ without a case and has a built-in color-temperature sensor that captures true colors under the sea. The camera can be set to start recording automatically while submerged and to stop after surfacing. It also has a built-in pressure gauge to record underwater depth, duration and altitude data to ensure the user’s safety. Certified with EN13319, it meets globally recognized standards for diving accessories. Front and rear tempered-glass touchscreens feature OLED high-brightness displays with a peak brightness of 1000 cd/㎡. In increasing the screen size and narrowing the bezels while retaining the camera body’s size, the screen-to-body ratio has increased by 16 percent compared to its predecessor.  Osmo Action 5 Pro can connect directly to the DJI Mic 2 Transmitter via Bluetooth. This provides studio-quality sound while eliminating the need for a receiver. Ambient sound can be recorded by enabling the Built-in Mic Audio Backup. Creators can preview the camera view, adjust settings and edit footage by connecting the camera with the DJI Mimo app via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. New Mimo features include taking live photos and capturing 4K high-resolution frame captures, reproducing D-Log M flat color profiles for more stylized adjustments, and exporting videos in 4K/120fps, 4:3 aspect ratio. Creators can also download photos and videos from their DJI camera in the background. DJI is selling a range of accessories for the camera, including a Multifunctional Charging Handle, a Cold Shoe Expansion Kit, a Helmet Chin Mount, a Flexible Mount and a Backpack Strap Mount. The DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro is available in various configurations that start at $349. Follow DJI on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
