I would like to share my experience with you. Perhaps it will help someone.
I recently had a problem with the USB port cover.  It has been 3 months since I bought the camera. The cover was lost. Perhaps it was my mistake, or perhaps it just didn't stay on well in the mount. Added to this problem was another problem. I live in an area of the Middle East where logistics are broken for known reasons. I tried to buy this cover, but couldn't find it anywhere. So I approached Susan, the receptionist. Explained the whole situation and asked for help. The issue was resolved within a week. The cover was sent to an alternate address and is now on its way to me. Thank you very much DJI
I am new to this forum. Noticed the negative posts. I would like to share a few thoughts out loud.
To say that the OA5 is perfect and has no flaws is not true. There are exposure changes, you can't turn off HDR. If you look hard enough, you can still find something. I think you can find flaws in any camera. After all, we bought a camera for such ridiculous money and to demand that it shoots like the Cannes Film Festival is just unfair.
We should give the DJI team time to take the firmware to the next level. He who doesn't work doesn't make mistakes. I think dji engineers will fix the software and everyone will be happy.
Personally, as a simple user, I am completely satisfied with the camera. And if I am not satisfied with it, then I will have to buy a camera 10 times more expensive.
There are a lot of good and necessary things in this camera. I'm satisfied.
Thank you for your attention. I apologize for my sloppy English.

Showed my like, and appreciation: and following. a very positive outcome and that wins people over, over time DJI will be  like the Action 4 but changes has to be made and we'll see that in the future

regards FISH

It's not exactly cheap, and quality is not always measured by the price. It's all about functionality and what it claims to be, and if that does not hold true, then it's a design and quality issue. If you talk about cheap, there are sub-100USD action cameras.

It doesn't matter how much a camera costs if it's sold broken.
We're probably all adults here and we don't care about cost, we all just want a good camera.

Cannes requires a slightly different camera and a slightly different price point )))) Totally serious.
By the way, I see this video in many threads. Do you have all your videos in this quality? Do you allow for the idea that maybe the settings weren't quite right for the time? I shot in about the same lighting and at about the same time, but didn't notice anything like that.

No way! I was going to Cannes, you crushed my dreams.
No, not all my videos are like that. However, that day, all the videos were ruined. It's automatic settings and D-log M. Did you test the D-log M on the bike, too? I think your critical thinking broke down after the gift cap, sorry.

Sorry to hear you won't be going to Cannes. I'm not going either.
I took this from my car. On the D-Log. With the addition of a manual setting and ND filter. It's good for this kind of video.
But about the cap and your sarcasm about it, that's not fair. I shared my experience and wanted to help people with the same problems.

I'll tell you a secret, in your case you could have used any modern smartphone.

Oh, I see. But still, let me use the camera.  Thank you. You don't have to answer that. We're going off-topic

totally agree.    camera does its job if asked  may not cater to all needs. we all remember there is no one perfect camera out there.

Well, I’m in Cannes in 4 weeks! Really, I am!!! Perhaps I'll make a movie with my Ace Pro 2 because it has a cinematic ratio aspect available on it.

I think it really depends on your expectations and what you are using them for. I don’t think anyone is expecting CinemaScope.

What niggles people are simple things like a poor choice of (cheap) lens. Ghosting on movement when it’s an action cam and one that probably wouldn’t bother you too much, sudden changes in exposure. Those are basic camera design things that most proper cheap cameras get rejected for and why people want a ‘pro’ camera. The Pro suggests a bit better than budget so I guess people feel a bit misled. Especially after the Action 4, although that also has that nasty lens with its trumpet flare.

It works fine and never crashes or overheats. Fantastic battery but at the end of the day, it is a camera and perhaps the budget might have been better spent on a lens rather than a fancy chip?

It feels as though DJI have tried to be a bit flash with the chip but forgot that it is a camera ........

No one perfect camera anywhere because so much depends on your needs.

Fish and Ian, thanks for your thoughts. It's hard to disagree with such authorities.
I'm an optimist and expect a lot from the new firmware. Well, the lens, of course, we won't be able to replace anymore. It's just the way it is. The advantages of the camera are obvious to me. I like the camera. It is rightly said that the camera is fantastic, but the perfect camera has not been invented yet.

Thanks for sharing a positive experience with the camera and DJI support.
