Pros

  • DJI Action 5 - I can't really say much about it, but I've seen a lot of positive reviews.
  • DJI Action 5 or 6 better low light, less overheating, longer battery runtime
  • The Action 4 or 5 blow out the GoPro equivalent (Hero 12/13), especially in low light and underwater filming.
  • But if you want to use it for let's say 5 years, I would suggest Action 5 Pro instead... Both are mostly the same but a little extra money would worth it
  • if you want to record 2h+ then you need a dji action 5/6 and depending on the resolution you would also need a powerbank to get unlimited recording

Cons

  • even an Action 5 or 4 will probably be okay. Imo I think their colors out of camera are a little too saturated, but if you do any color editing you can fix that. The 5 and 6 have built in storage, which is nice.
  • if i choose dji action, i'm still thinking action 6 or action 5 pro.
  • I’m very unhappy with my action 5 pro. The white balance looks off. Colors look almost pastel and the image resolution doesn’t look great. It works well in lower light and the battery lasts a lot longer but that doesn’t matter if I don’t...
  • I had a DJI Action 5 get water damage on my last vacation, and DJI says their repair service was not available for 60-90 days when I reached out to the care center (this has been about 5 weeks ago).
