DJI's emphasis on the cost-effective Neo drone may have diverted attention from their action camera developments, but recent leaks indicate that the Osmo Action 5 Pro is set to become a focal point. This action camera is poised to compete directly with the newly released Hero 13 Black.
Unofficial Details Emerge
DJI has yet to make any official announcements, but credible leaker @Quadro_News has revealed some details about the camera's specifications. The Osmo Action 5 Pro is rumored to include a 1/1.3-inch sensor with a 40MP resolution and a 155-degree field of view, allowing it to capture expansive scenes.
Impressive Recording and Battery Capabilities
The camera's video capabilities reportedly peak at 4K resolution with a smooth 120 frames per second. It will also feature “SuperNight Slow-Motion Modes” for capturing slow-motion video. According to @Quadro_News, the battery life is expected to be quite decent, offering up to four hours of recording on a single charge. In terms of connectivity, it will support Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi 6.
Storage and Audio Features
Storage is unlikely to be an immediate issue, as the action camera is said to include 47GB of built-in storage, expandable up to 1 TB via a microSD card. As for audio, the Osmo Action 5 Pro is expected to come with three stereo microphones.
Software and Pricing Speculations
The anticipated software features include 360° HorizonSteady, Live Stream, OsmoAudio, Subject Centering & Tracking, and Voice Control. While pricing details remain somewhat unclear, @Quadro_News suggests that the “Adventure Combo” with various accessories might be priced between €450-€490, which is approximately $520-$570 USD. The projected launch date is September 12th, so official details should be available soon.
