Among the many action cams tested by our editorial team this year, it is the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro which wins the Frandroid Award in its category.
The action camera market has long been polarized between two brands: DJI and GoPro, with from time to time another manufacturer trying to find a place. Among the best action cameras on the market, we have chosen to distinguish this year the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro.

In terms of design, however, the Action 5 Pro broadly follows the chassis of the previous models. The construction remains completely solid with waterproofing allowing it to dive to a depth of 20 meters. You even have a pressure gauge to also check the altitude. Finally, the two screens go from LCD to Oled.
In use, it has a more powerful chip with a fluid interface for reliable and easy daily use. It is a reliable product to use for beginners.
The video quality implemented does not exceed 4K. However, in its category, the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro offers impeccable image quality day and night. Especially for less than 400 euros, it outperforms the GoPro model of the year. Our test of the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro is at your disposal to learn more.
The other two nominated for the Frandroid Awards
Obviously, GoPro is not idle in the market. The GoPro Hero 13 Black remains a product of choice, but a little further behind. The design remains identical to previous generations. It remains an excellent action camera with good image quality and cropping options, especially if you plan to go beyond 4K. However, on many points, it is now surpassed by the DJI.
For its part, Insta’s situation is a bit special since the manufacturer offers 360° cameras. The Insta360 X4 is somewhat alone in its field, and therefore the default reference. The product nonetheless remains excellent with good finishes. The image quality offered at 360 degrees is good. It is easy to use for beginners and full of options for regulars.
What are the Frandroid Awards?
It’s the most anticipated tech event of the year (at least for us): The Frandroid Awards ! Frandroid experts gathered for an exceptional ceremony broadcast live on Twitch on December 3, 2024.
