DJI Action 5 Pro Leak Reveals Impressive Specs for Next-Gen Action Camera

DJI appears to be gearing up for the release of its next-generation action camera, the Action 5 Pro, according to a leaked image shared by known DJI leaker OsitaLV on X (formerly Twitter). The image provides a tantalizing glimpse into the potential specs and design of this highly anticipated device.

Key Features Unveiled

The leaked photo showcases several impressive features of the Action 5 Pro:

• A wide-angle lens with a 155° field of view (FOV)
• F2.8 aperture for improved low-light performance
• Large 1/1.3″ sensor, likely contributing to enhanced image quality
• Rugged, textured body design for durability in outdoor conditions

“ACTION 5 PRO” is clearly visible on the camera’s body, confirming its identity as the successor to the popular DJI Action 4.

Some may find it a little disappointing to see little change in the hardware when comparing the DJI Action 4 to the 5 Pro. Especially the addition of the word ‘pro’ would make you think that we about to see a bigger jump in specs and features compared to what you would normally see between two generations of hardware. Hopefully we will not have to wait long to find out what DJI has in store for us.

FCC Certification and Power Improvements

DroneXL reported earlier that the Osmo Action 5 Pro (model AC004) has already received FCC certification for the US market. The FCC Filing reveals an input rating of “5-9V ⎓ 3A Max,” hinting at potential advancements in power management and battery life compared to previous models.
