Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro Essential Combo is number two in our best action cameras guide. It is a 4K action camera built around a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor, with dual OLED touchscreens and 360° HorizonSteady stabilisation, listed at £295.00 and rated 4.5 out of 5 from 1,844 ratings.
The listing largely agrees with itself on battery life: the spec sheet's 'Battery Average Life: 240 minutes' matches the bullet claiming 'up to 4 hours of extended battery life'. Where it stops agreeing is the battery itself — the same spec sheet says '1 CR5 batteries required. (included)', and CR5 is not a battery size you would expect in an action camera, let alone the single cell behind a four-hour figure. The stabilisation claims, by contrast, line up between the spec sheet and the bullets. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for this product, not from any testing of our own.
