Question Dji osmo action 5 vs Ace pro 2?

[Mystical Dragon]

Hey everyone,

I've been looking at cameras for diving. I've been watching as many videos as I can. However it's hard to tell if the videos are legit or not. Too many seem like ads for one or the other.

I'll be diving in my local quarries mostly, and some area rivers. I want my friends to be able to see my diving. Plus there will be times it will be helpful with work.

I'm looking at the insta 360 ace pro 2 and the dji osmo action 5. I'll not do a gopro as I've had issues in the past with them. Plus I'll not support a company that requires a subscription to use basic editing features like gopro does. Especially an underwater feature that's essential for my needs.

Has anyone used one or the other or better yet both of them? Any pros and cons?

I like some of the features of the dji like the battery life and the deeper waterproofing. The depth feature is a cool thing if staying shallow. Just wish it worked in the case at deeper depths.

Registering interest. Currently in the exact same position.

Matthias Lebo has some interesting videos regarding this. He seems to be scuba/underwater focused.

I'm trying to get impartial feedback as too many seem like ads fir them

From everything that I've read and watched, I think the DJI fits my needs best so we're going to buy one of those. The only real complaint I've seen on the DJI is that their app is not on the google play store and you need to sideload it from their website.

Interesting wonder why that is?

This is one of the best videos I've found so far. Matthias is an avid diver and apparently one of the most respected around. James with divers ready gave him a shout out. Id initially dismissed the video because of the accent but he is spot on and knows what he's talking about.

Thanks for posting. Seems like they're all great, which is comforting. I'll stick with the DJI though, as it's also the cheapest here.
