Hi,

The DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro is still experiencing worse stabilization when in UVC and RTMP mode when compared to a recording. Same issues in Action 4.

UVC (Webcam) is the worst, followed by RTMP, with best results when it's just a regular recording.

I have made a recording, time marked for each mode I am testing:



Edit2:
Please see the livestream I just did today, which has chapters for each device I switch to (Action 5, Action 4, Pocket 3). I start out with the Action 5 Pro in RTMP mode on the highest stabilization setting available - HorizonSteady. It is worse than the Action 4 at the same settings. When I switch to UVC on Action 4, it is even worse.



Thanks!

Edit:
By the way, this is on the latest firmware - updated day of release.

Thanks for doing this test. This issue means the camera won’t work for live streamers. DJI, can you enable stabilization in UVC and RTMP modes, or at least make it a toggle? As the original poster noted recording mode works as expected, but the lack of stabilization in UVC and RTMP modes is a big problem.

Hi, is 1080p in 30 fps the only resolution choice for Webcam mode ?

If yes that would be weird.
There is nothing in specsheet about it.
And i could not find any video  with this information.
Thanks in advance for reply.

I can't set it on the Action 5 itself but it should depend on what UVC profiles it has available. When I connect to a Windows computer I only saw options for 1080p 30fps and 720p 30fps

A lot of live streamers are disappointed also there is still no 50/60 fps in UVC and RTMP

I openned a thread on this subject, still no answer from DJI.

This might not be something they want to highlight.

Webcam / RTMP resolution settings
A deal killer for me.

We should open a thread :"Disappointed, the list."

I updated the original post with a livestream I did today showing the stabilization issues on the Action 5 Pro.

DJI has definitely improved webcam modes of other cameras, like the Pocket 3, by adding 4K... So we know they're capable of improving the webcam mode, but hopefully they can look at this thread and at least improve the stabilization and allow more choice for fps, as suggested!

thanks for the feedback, we are looking into this issue.

Yes, it’s just hard to call the camera a pro model and get a worse feature set. Stabilization in particular has gotten worse year over year instead of better.  

To summarize, please add the following:

Enable stabilization in UVC
Enable stabilization in RTMP
Allow us to select fps (24, 30, 60, etc)
Allow us to select up to 4k resolution

These would improve upon the action 4 and make this way more relevant to live streamers

Thanks DJI

pleeeeeease

Tested both webcam and rtmp today and the video quality is very bad compared to the OA4

Well, i was planning to buy two units, i'll rather wait for version 6 if nothing moves.

I totally agree. A simple firmware update could have Solved this.

Give us options to change fps for rtmp and uvc!
Livestreamers out there are waiting for this to happen, let's make dji great on the live streaming market.

I am also having problems using my brand new camera in webcam mode.  I cannot capture the camera audio as well as video via UVC and the quality seems less than last generation action4?  Can we get a firmware update to enable 60fps via rtmp and webcam with this new PRO processor and sensor?
