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.

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.

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