I dive for the thrill, the peace, and the epic underwater views. And my Osmo Action 3? It’s my ride-or-die. It’s tough, reliable, and gets every shot without breaking a sweat-just like me. Plus, I’m broke, so I’m sticking with this camera until it taps out! 😅 this beast keeps crushing it, dive after dive even though it isn’t the best/newest out there anymore.
The Action 5 doesn‘t have a dedicated dive mode. As like it‘s predecessor you can save custom settings C1 to C5 - but now you can give it a symbol like the scubamask to it.
I’m from Thailand and being here to giving you some advice If you like diving or snorkeling please come to Koh Tao, Surin island and Ko Lipe Have a great trip 🇹🇭
Used Panasonic and GoPro for diving over the last 10 years. Last month got an X4 and the difference is incredible. Rock sold stabilisation, good colour correction, and mind blowing angles you pick in post processing. The footage and stills are national geographic kind of level.
Ive been using go pro 12 but after seeing footage of the dji action 5 pro its a no brainer, thats what ill prefer to use, colors alone make the dji action 5 pro a clear winner to me
That sounds like an exciting adventure! The DJI Osmo Action 5 will be a fantastic tool to capture all your experiences in the Philippines. Best of luck with your move!
I'd choose the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro based on the great info in this video. I have snorkeled with the GoPro Hero 11 and the results were decent but I'm excited about auto adjustments you showed.
I’ve done a similar comparison underwater and agree completely with this test result. DJI Osmo Action 5 is my choice too. (I only personally own a 4 at the moment). Nice work!
In the 4, you can use the zoom function whilst in the case. Furthermore, I’d you zoom in and save that as a preset setting, it saves all the other settings without the zoom in you preset. Would be good to be able to chose that underwater whilst in the case. 👍
I really like the DJI Osmo Action 5, it seems to be better than the others in a lot of different ways ! I would love to have it, and I cannot wait to test it for my next dive !!!!
Wow, the white balance at 3:36 on the hand for Action5 is scarily red. I guess that’s the downside of the extreme auto-balance that some of the new cameras have.
I am doing my research to decide which action camera i should purchase and I like the specs and look of Osmo action 5. Thank you for sharing this informative video!
I hadn't heard anything about the DJI Osmo camera yet, so I really appreciate the review and recommendation. I was leaning toward the Insta 360, if only because of the chance I could catch something in the camera that was happening behind me, like a n animal swimming close to me or my dive buddy or something out in the blue when I'm cruising along a wall.
I have recently got back into diving and used my gopro 10. Been looking into the osmo 5 quite a lot as I like that it seems more reliable not crashing when you are under/ in the water. Also like the low light capabilities of the osmo 5
What is the best feature of the OSMO 5 for underwater usage? Also, how easy is it to operate and not end up with videos of the sky or boat floor and dead battery while on a dive biat
I'm definitely going to order the Action 5. Been using Action 3 mounted on top of my full frame rig and this would be a great upgrade. I'm really looking forward to the low light feature and the depth censor.
I have been using a Sealife Micro HD and I am not happy with it after seeing this video. The images on the DJI look outstanding in comparison. Thats the one I need to get. The image quality from that camera was the best IMHO.
I have the Osmo 4, great camera, I highly recommend using a AOI 03 lens on the front when the camera is in the housing, take away all the distortion at edges and images are MUCH sharper.
i do have a gopro 7 and a 11, it does have downsides which is mainly its software and file transfer.. been looking for a replacment and do think the DJI is worth a try.. its while balance is epic
I like them all but the insta360 would probably be the best all-rounder for me (diving, biking, running, swimming, etc), although I’m sure that they would all work.
@DIVEindotcom I haven't made up my mind just yet. I think for video either dji, ace pro or gopro will do a better job than a mobile phone. For photo I think is a great.
Insta360 X4 for me just because I want to capture some unique under water images from a 360 camera... but gee I'm impressed with the DJI Osmo Action 5.
A 360 cam from insta would create a very cool new perspective for my diving but from your list i would definitely choose the DJI osmo action 5 pro. There is no competition...
From past few years I am using Olympus Tough TG Tracker for my diving and is amazing camera....but is getting old, so - looking for the OSMO Action as potential replacement. I am still unsure that 5 is really worth to go over 4, but thanks for this video.
Hi, thank you very much for this video. It's hard to find videos this good. I'd like to know if you have videos or if you could share with me the configuration of that diving recording mode to the DJI Osmo Action 5.
Well I have the GoPro 11 and the insta 360x3 dive mainly in Scotland with the GoPro I use video lights it works well . Insta 360x3 hmm it’s ok not the best for Scottish sea loch green waters a 2m vis. Now i have been thinking of the DJI action 5 has some cool features main one battery life seems to good to be true colour correction depth gauge and the bonus to dive without a case to 20m . For me for I would choose DJI action 5 I personally think its game over for GoPro . Once I can save up I will buy DJI will be a huge upgrade for my UA-cam videos. Ps great content 👍
Since the family DJI Action 3 got drowned on a beach in Greece this summer (kids+tech=random results), I've been waiting for Action 5 Pro to be released to get a new family action camera. So definitely Dji Action 5 for me. Bonus points for compatibility with Action 3 battery and acessories, which I still have.
It's also waterproof 20m so a housing it's necessary and it's magnetic so much more stable when placed on top of certain tops. We find it to be a very rugged camera.
Thanks for the video, just purchased the action5 pro and off to use it in Grenada at the end of the month, only thing i dont seem to have, or cant find is the 'dive mode' 🤔
Just got the DJI Osmo Action 5 PRO and thanks for the simple and informative review! Although mainly a still shooter using my 1" sensor Canon G7X II in Fantasea housing since around 2016 I always envied the light easy traveling Action camera divers. So here I go in with teh DJI Osmo Action 5 PRO :)
4:48 you must perform all tests at various depths, not just 5m. Cameras will perform vastly different at 30m and it would be easier to pick the best performer without zooming in.
I thought the AcePro would have been a better choice then the Go3s. I have the X4 and really love it but for some shots the objects are too far away but did dome epic videos last summer. So was thinking of adding a more classic camera as it would be complementary.
I'm happy at the moment with my GoPro 11. I'm looking for a replacement, but until now not really found one - waiting for Osmo 5 and Ace 2 Pro to maybe take this place this year - GroPro 12 and 13 didn't feel like worth the upgrade... For me it is Snorkeling and Freediving and therefore Osmo 5 seems nice with 20m instead of "just" 10ish like the others. At the moment I always use the divecase with my GoPro - just to be shure
Wow thx very much for this video ! I have the Action 4 and will buy the 5. For me, i still detected a defect on the 4 which I hope will be corrected on the 5; when I'm in the sea, snorkeling, the quality is impressive but... From time to time, the color turns green, before recovering within 10 to 20 seconds... Which never happens on gopro. As a result, I have to modify the colors of these "moments" on my editing software. On the internet, they say it's because of the front sensor which constantly adapts, and which the gopro doesn't have. We have great quality underwater, better than GoPro, but from time to time, it sucks as explained... Too bad.
somebody else in the comments mentioned here, that it doesn't really have a 'dive' mode, but like it's predecessor, it has custom setups C1 through C5, but now you can add custom icons to them, like the dive mask in the video. maybe check that? if that's the case, this video is inaccurate in that statement...

@@TomandjerneyHow's the spearfishing scene, sir?
DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro definately. Ive used the action 4 and was always fine. Now its even better
DJI Osmo action 5 for sure. King of action cam.
I would still use the GoPro 13 the most. I think it is still the most versatile camera
Used Panasonic and GoPro for diving over the last 10 years. Last month got an X4 and the difference is incredible. Rock sold stabilisation, good colour correction, and mind blowing angles you pick in post processing.
The footage and stills are national geographic kind of level.
Dji Osmo Action 5 pro is definitely the best one for me
Ive been using go pro 12 but after seeing footage of the dji action 5 pro its a no brainer, thats what ill prefer to use, colors alone make the dji action 5 pro a clear winner to me
Honestly I looked at this video specifically for the DJI action 5. Glad to hear it’s a good camera.
Thanks for showcasing the overviews AND the realities beyond the marketing hype to learn how each perform.👍
I am moving to the Philippines and would love to have the DJI Osmo Action 5 to test the waters with! Great video, guys!
That sounds like an exciting adventure! The DJI Osmo Action 5 will be a fantastic tool to capture all your experiences in the Philippines. Best of luck with your move!
@@DIVEindotcom Thank you!
Osmo action takes the win!
The Osmo 5 looks really good!
DJI Osmo Action 5 is the clear winner in my opinion.

Dji action 5 pro - definitely is right camera for scuba. Im diving now with action 2 and its still good, but 5 - its from another planet.

great video thanks ... subscribed and liked - cheers
Dji osmo 5 seems the best by far
I own the Action 4 and find it quite good. I would definitely try the DJI Osmo Action 5 and check out if there are meaningful improvements
Sent my 5 back, yes 5 has screen improvements and duel microphone input, as for the video its self, I think the 4 is better and has a higher bit rate.
I am diving in green water mostly now, the Action Pro 5 seems like the way to go! (And a scooter!)
I would take the osmo diving for sure
I've been diving a GoPro, but would love to try the OSMO 5.
What is the best feature of the OSMO 5 for underwater usage? Also, how easy is it to operate and not end up with videos of the sky or boat floor and dead battery while on a dive biat
The osmo action 5 😍
Would love the Action 5, Thanks
DJI Action 5 Pro for me! Travelling the Philippines for 8 weeks at the beginning of November, looking to do my dive master.
Nice job! Thanks!
Thanks for the test! In November I will go to Coiba, Panama that should be amazing for it's marine life, so hopefully I will get the Osmo Action 5🤞
I'm definitely going to order the Action 5. Been using Action 3 mounted on top of my full frame rig and this would be a great upgrade. I'm really looking forward to the low light feature and the depth censor.
DJI Osmo 5 would be my choice. the X4 is very interesting too.
Nice pick! The Osmo 5 is super cool, and I get what you mean about the X4-totally interesting! What do you think makes them stand out?
I like visual of the Go Pro 13 video
Many thanks for your great work!!!!
You're welcome :D
I think the Osmo action 5 has my vote.
I use OA3 for diving at the moment and I`m thinking about upgrading to OA5. Thanks for the video.
I'd love to try the new Osmo action 5. Just dove the other day with my original action.
I have been using a Sealife Micro HD and I am not happy with it after seeing this video. The images on the DJI look outstanding in comparison. Thats the one I need to get. The image quality from that camera was the best IMHO.

Is the WB sensor still working as well?
It would be nice with the Osmo 5, for snorkling and "fridiving".
The depth, showing om screen 👍👍😁
True. It's a nice feature.
i do have a gopro 7 and a 11, it does have downsides which is mainly its software and file transfer.. been looking for a replacment and do think the DJI is worth a try.. its while balance is epic
I would go with the GoPro just because that is what I am use to.
I would have loved to see a comparison with other top tier cameras in cave diving.
I like them all but the insta360 would probably be the best all-rounder for me (diving, biking, running, swimming, etc), although I’m sure that they would all work.
DJI osmo 5 pro, the video quality and battery life is main selling point for me…
I'm diving now with a divevolk and a S24 ultra but definitely a dji action 5 pro is in my bucket list
We're hopefully getting our hands on the divevolk. What do you think of it? Would you reccomend?
