Overview of the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro
DJI Osmo Action 5 ProDJI's flagship action camera: 4K120fps video and SuperNight mode
The DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro is overall a great action camera, that captures high quality footage in low light situations. It is very capable, rugged, usable in very cold weather and underwater without a diving case down to 66ft / 20m. It is the successor to the DJI Osmo Action 4 which was already a very popular choice.
- Pros
- SuperNight mode
- Waterproof 66ft / 20m without case
- Freeze-proof
- Built-in storage
- Cons
- Still only 4K video
Comparison of the Hero 10 vs the Action 5 Pro
Quick links:
Video performance
Only the Action 5 Pro offers HDR video. Both cameras feature slomo video. The two cameras have image stabilization.

Stabilization
RockSteady 3.0+
Why it matters:
A high resolution will give you crisp footage but also allow you to reframe your video without losing too much quality. A higher framerate (fps) will result in smoother video and is important when filming action scenes or fast moving subjects. Image stabilization is a crucial feature for an action camera, as it removes camera shake, vibrations, rotation and other movements that deteriorate your final footage.
Battery life
The Action 5 Pro offers a slightly better battery capacity. Both cameras have removable batteries.

Why battery life matters:
Nothing worse than running out of battery just before capturing the best footage of the day! A long battery life is reassuring and convenient when shooting footage outdoors where options to charge are limited. Even the use of a power bank can be tedious or simply impossible like when filming watersports. Having removable batteries allows battery swapping on the go which further extends your runtime.
Storage
Only the Action 5 Pro features built-in storage. Both the Hero 10 and the Action 5 Pro support SD cards. Both support up to 1TB.

Why storage matters:
High quality footage can quickly take up lots of space and insufficient storage can soon be frustrating. Having a large amount of storage and the possiblity to extend it or swap SD cards while on a outing will ensure you will always be able to capture the footage you want. However, smaller, wearable action cameras often rely on built-in storage because of their small size.
Weight and size
The Action 5 Pro is a slightly smaller camera. Both the Hero 10 and the Action 5 Pro have similar weights.

Weight
5.15oz / 146g
Why size and weight matter:
Weight is important for action cameras because we often mount them on helmets, or hold them at the end of a selfie stick while moving. Therefore a heavier camera can be difficult or uncomfortable to film with. Weight is even more crucial for certain sports like road cycling or running.
Waterproofing and usage conditions
The Action 5 Pro is a lot more waterproof. Both the Hero 10 and the Action 5 Pro are waterproof to 197ft / 60m with a diving case. The Action 5 Pro is far better for extreme cold. The Action 5 Pro beats the Hero 10 in high heat conditions.

Max operating temperature
113°F / 45°C
Why it matters:
Most action cameras are waterproof for accidental splashing or use above water, but if you plan on Snorkeling or Scuba Diving, we recommend choosing a camera which offers a diving case and always using it for underwater footage. If you plan on filming Snowboarding, Skiing or other wintersports in extremely cold conditions, you should pick a camera that is rated for those temperatures, most cameras are only rated down to 14°F / -10°C. Many action cameras are prone to overheating, even in ordinary conditions, so if you plan on filming in hot environments, you should choose a camera that can function at high temperatures.
Camera and sensor technology
The Action 5 Pro features a much higher resolution. The field of view of the Action 5 Pro is a little better than the Hero 10's. The Action 5 Pro features a much higher bit rate than the Hero 10

Video bite rate

Why it matters:
A higher amount of pixels will offer better quality footage and higher resolution photos. A higher field of view means that the camera captures over a wider angle and therefore more action can be seen in the final footage. Some cameras require accessories to enable the maximum FOV. A higher bitrate at a similar resolution will offer higher quality video.
Camera settings
The Action 5 Pro's 100-51200 ISO range is far superior to Hero 10's. The Action 5 Pro's +/-4 exposure compensation is far superior.

Why these settings matter:
The ISO range and exposure compensation settings will mostly allow you to tweak your action camera for low light situations.
