DJI just made the Osmo Action 5 Pro even more tempting

DJI has given the Osmo Action 5 Pro a fresh boost, making an already powerful action camera even more tempting! With a new firmware update (v01.03.03.50), users can enjoy richer colors, faster file transfers, and optimized underwater video quality. And if you’ve been thinking about picking up the Action 5 Pro, this update — paired with the recently launched Essential Combo — might just be the final nudge you need.

What’s new Osmo Action 5 Pro update?

Let’s break down what DJI has packed into this update and why it matters for action camera lovers:

Sharper, more vibrant video options

DJI has added a Vivid tone setting in Video mode, making your footage pop with richer contrast and deeper layers of detail. If you prefer a more natural look, the Neutral setting is still there, but Vivid mode is perfect for capturing those breathtaking landscapes or high-energy sports shots.

Faster file transfers with MTA standard

Ever struggled with slow file transfers? DJI is now supporting the Mutual Transfer Alliance (MTA) standard, meaning you can quickly move files from your Osmo Action 5 Pro to compatible Android devices like Xiaomi, OPPO, and Samsung. To use this, just enable the sharing feature on your mobile device and enjoy smoother, hassle-free file transfers. No more waiting around for big video files to move — just shoot, send, and edit on the go!

Improved underwater video performance

If you love capturing the world beneath the waves, this update is for you! DJI has reduced noise in high-frame-rate underwater videos, making your underwater footage clearer and more detailed. The Auto Record and Auto Stop features have also been optimized for diving, ensuring smoother recording experiences while exploring the deep.

Bug fixes and optimizations

On top of all the major updates, DJI has also fixed minor bugs to keep the Osmo Action 5 Pro running smoothly.

Just a few days ago, DJI announced the Osmo Action 5 Pro Essential Combo — a budget-friendly bundle that gives you everything you need to get started. The firmware update makes the camera even better, meaning new buyers are stepping into an upgraded experience right from the start.

With the Essential Combo, you get the Osmo Action 5 Pro and all its must-have accessories, making it an incredible deal for adventure seekers and content creators. And now, with the latest firmware improvements, there’s never been a better time to grab one.
