A GoPro Hero 13 Black can detect these first-party lenses, meaning Garmin retains control over the ecosystem. That’s what’s truly different this generation — the GoPro Hero 12 Black had a super-wide-angle MAX lens mod too, but there was no smart factor to it.

Osmo Action 5 Pro can connect directly to the DJI Mic 2 Transmitter via Bluetooth, enabling ultra-high-sampling-rate audio recording. This setup provides studio-quality sound while eliminating the need for a receiver. When Built-in Mic Audio Backup is enabled, ambient sounds can be recorded to add a richer layer of authenticity.

GoPro Hero 13 Black is packed with changes from swappable lenses to a magnetic mount. It's a big year-over-year change, even if it features the same sensors.

DJI has, however, added internal storage to the tune of 47GB in addition to micro SD, plus matched GoPro with Wi-Fi 6 to speed up image uploads to your phone. With all of these upgrades considered, the Action 5 Pro provides an all-round improved user experience, but at a 10% steeper price point than the Action 4.

For quite some time, GoPro has ruled the high-end action camera world. While plenty of other companies have tried to dethrone the action camera giant, and some have come close, none have quite hit the nail on the head. DJI, the company best known for its drones, is having a go again with a new pro-level model of its own action camera.

The Osmo Action 5 Pro features an improved sensor, up to 4-hours of continuous recording, and 960fps super slow motion.

DJI's new Osmo Action 5 Pro is a product making a clear bet – that action camera users want 'Pro' results. They are promising "revolutionary image quality" and highlighting both the dynamic range and low-light performance.
