Im tired o the toxic supposed fans in this forum. I was verry happy with the camera until i came acros this forum. After a while reading only negative  comments about the cameras performance i realised  i started to ''dislike'' the footage.   But on seccond thought i realized the image quality is not the problem but pixelpiping  constand negativeness of the supposed fans in the forum.
Ofcourse there is room for  making a better camera.  But lets stop being  so negative and go create some great footage.

At the end of the day its all about the content you create!


Thanx DJI for everything. Keep up the good work!

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out! We are glad to hear that you are satisfied with your DJI product and have chosen DJI for your needs. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and your feedback is our greatest motivation as we strive to meet and exceed our users' expectations.

Thank you for your great support and have a wonderful day!

You take the blue pill and the fairy tale ends. You wake up in bed with other fanboys and believe the camera is normal. Take the red pill and you'll enter Wonderland. I'll show you how powerful exposure jumps are.

I totally agree   thanks for letting us know.

you got top priority comment great to hear

It's still real bad for live streamers sadly

No, it's not only about the content you create. It's about the QUALITY of the content too.

Some people would like to use a camera like is supposed to be used without us being free beta testers for DJI.

Not all people are "influencers" who lie to their audience just to make money. Some of us actually use action cams for work. I am very glad that you are happy with your camera, you must love the trash cartoon HDR but no contrast look and all other major issues this camera has.  

Exposure jumps and the loose USB door not an issue for you?

I think you need to realize that there are many unhappy OA5 users compared to a few who are OK the product. Please feedback to the technical team that they have to fix all these issues quickly. Thanks!

With other cameras, namelly gopro hero 8, and 12, Dji Action 4, and ace pro 1, I would go out on my bike, or skate or SUP, and filmed without thinking too much, and most of the time was amazed by the image quality i got in most shots.
With the Action 5 pro, not so much more often than not im not satisfied with the results, unfortunatelly.
So this bad mouthing isnt unjustified as you claim, the camera is very flawed, and DJI needs to step up and fix it.
Action gear needs to make you want to use it, and not keep fighting until you get bored...

In any case, if nothing was said, nothing would get done. DJI ‘seem’ unaware quite often of what people describe. Or they pretend to be. I don’t know.

It’s great to be happy with your camera and everyone wants that, but say nothing and you have to stick with what you have …. Until the day that you use the bit that others had spotted earlier.

When you first see that exposure jump in your footage, or that plastic doll look, you’ll start not wanting to use the camera for anything important. That's exactly what I did. Don't want to use it because I don't want to ruin my home videos! I guess it’s also to do with what kind of standard video you can accept as OK as well.

It's one thing to see and report flaws with a product, and another thing to be unhappy with it an trash it.  

That's my complain about  the toxic  community in here and i sure me and the wornderfull DJI development team (wich i hope will send me an OA6 for free to review )  will agree with me!

There will always be more people telling you they don't like something than people telling you they are satisfied.
That is who the www works unfortunately.

You know when somewhen says the camera is flawed he can instigate his right to return it and should. Too many times I read complaints like the camera is rubbish it doesn’t focus its crap the footage is unacceptable blah blah blah yet simply exercising their rights is the last thing they do. I find this dumb and hard to understand. Most of these people come across as experts but they are the ones with the faulty cameras and they will hang on to them and complain and complain.
You see if you buy something and don’t like it , you’re stuck with , if it’s broke then you’re not. But why is it these people who I might add are almost always the same people and these people are supposedly experts in knowledge and opinion but amateurs in what they buy

I feel a lot of what’s being said stems from the pied piper syndrome where when one so proclaimed expert says something and they others follow until you get a quorum that drives some of the madness.
If I have a problem with dji products one of the last places I would come is here, far easier to reach out to dji directly and try to get your problem sorted. Listening to mods here saying they will pass it on month in month out is beyond ridiculous because dji are a private company and no one here will tell them what to do and my guess is they listen to very little feedback from here as survey feedback is a big thing with dji as well as beta before and after products are released.
So I have some sympathy with the OP originally this forum was set up as a preamble for everything drones and cameras and at that time the mods mingled and answered questions directly not like mods now. The forum has turned into a place where complaining has enveloped all other subjects.

I have never bought a faulty dji product and kept it and I would advise others to do the same. And then dji might have a problem .

Its not broken, its flawed.
In my case, I held on to it, until my return window closed, because I had and loved the action 4, and believed that Dji would at the very least, deliver a fix for most of the flaws that have been thoroughly identified on these forums.
That is whats being asked of DJI, and IMHO doesnt look like a unreasonable request.

I held onto mine because DJI are supposed to be so good at supplying updates and improving their cameras; as they did with the original Action.

So I had faith in their ability to fix the flaws. In the meantime, while I wait, I just use something else. No biggie.

I don’t really see complaints as ‘toxic’. People are showing the problems on video so they are blatantly being pointed out over and over because nothing is happening on the update front.

I think though that my experience with the Action 5 Pro might make me return cameras a lot quicker next time and rebuy them later if they are fixed.

Then its just a bad camera to you, you do realise there were also many complaints about the action 3 and 4 many here complaining, but it looks like the complaints are not about something broken they are about something that doesn’t satisfy and that just says the problem can also be with the user. And there are thousands of users which ones do you think should be catered to after all there are many who believe there A5 is fine and working fine but would like it to be better, should they complain so dji might make it better. My point is if you go back through this forum you will realise those who have problems have something in common they are they same people who always have problems the same people who complain wholesale the same people who edge out others like the OP above who wants to come here for a different type of discussion . If you buy a bad product off dji that’s probably bad luck if you come back and buy another that can happen but I’m afraid third times a charm.
All dji products are continually optimized FW updated and improved over time and no amount of complaining here will either hurry or slow this process down , but if you buy a bad product thats down to you not everyone thinks its bad , but its incredible this wasn’t noticed by the same people until after the sales warranty , kinda makes me think its something driven by the same people continually.

It’s my belief that the camera is good not perfect I didn’t pay enough for perfection but believe I got value for what I paid and I do use it all the time the problems I find can be surmounted and if I want better gear I know I should first be paying more and do research accordingly , the problems talked about here have been discovered not by those who purchased on release but much later after the camera was released and this problem is growing but mostly only on this forum.

hey, its great that you're happy with the camera!
For me, its weird having sold my Action 4, to be getting worse image quality in good light with A5P.
But i give the A5P credit where its due, mainly in low light, with wireless microphones, and protecting the highlights, its much better the the 4.
But in all other aspects its worse, the overal IQ is worse, Auto white balance is shaky, and the autoexposure is also very jumpy.

Happy is subjective , i believe I got value for my money 5 came with many new features thats what I expect, I believe its better than many similar cameras but to be tearing my hair out about it would just be ridiculous I bought it to use I use it and compensate for what it cannot achieve.

il magic drone Posted at 3-19 14:03

People bought it to use, use it its not perfect but it is good and as predominantly an action camera it achieves its goals, as a camera you can use in other situations it adapts well, it will improve with more optimizations which I expect it will have, but I don’t expect dji to jump to every whim people think they should. So put it in a drawer and you will continue to get worse value The longer its there or just try to make it work best you can for you .

Regardless what people think this is not a pro camera it has the name pro in it yes it does , but every GoPro camera also has the name pro in it yes and are they all pro cameras.

Totally agree.

Getting fed up with a few people here who knock DJI all the time rather than creating content for themself's.
Trying to make out they are experts.

I care deeply  about the quality of my video too, but can I ask you something?

I took a look at your videos because I’ve never seen you here before and they’re great. Looking at them, it seems to me that perhaps you might be  taking the exposure down a bit in some shots, so you get really deep blacks but also, I think it took skin tone away from the HDR processing a little better so it looks more natural.

After seeing your videos,  I just tried doing the same with my Ace (because it’s handy) and comparing shots taken at slightly lower EV than zero, the skin in full sun really took on a better look than at EV zero. I'm talking at -1 and even -1.5.

We don’t get an awful lot of sun here so when we do, it’s a bit of a shock to our photography systems!

Are you keeping exposure to the left in your videos? They look really good. I'm preparing for a trip with blazing sun and we're more used to greyness here!

first of all thanx!
Please keep in mind that the videos before Last September are shot with a GoPro .
As for the latest videos i usualy  just keep the ev set to -0.3 that's it.  
In the videos  in the bunker i just  applyed the osmo lut.  Againt i kept the ev to -0.3

Ah … ok. Thanks. I saw some differences between older and new and thought maybe you’d experimented with what Im currently playing around with …. Finding a good sweet spot for bright sunny weather.

The skin tones look really nice and Im jealous. I’d like to know what makeup you’re applying to the lens!

Looks really good. You're getting very nice black tone too.

Yes that seems to be a real part of it, but I think if you look at those complaining about this product you will find the same people complaining about most of dji products.
I always think if you’re not satisfied within a few days of getting your product rather than use your time complaining just return it and be done with it, spending months knocking products that you bought yourself seems like a waste of good time.
But yeah your main point create content compare try find out ways to get around the deficiencies and share with others, but thats never going to happen.
