DJI‘s focus on the budget-friendly Neo drone might have overshadowed their action camera plans, but a new leak suggests the Osmo Action 5 Pro is ready to take center stage. The action cam will be a direct competitor to the recently launched Hero 13 Black.

Now, DJI itself hasn’t officially confirmed anything, but reliable leaker @Quadro_News has spilled the beans about its specifics.

According to the tipster, the Osmo Action 5 Pro will feature a 1/1.3-inch sensor with a 40MP resolution and 155-degree field of view, so it can capture a wide swathe of the action. 

Video recording capabilities are said to max out at 4K resolution at a smooth 120 frames per second. It will also have “SuperNight Slow-Motion Modes” for capturing slow-mo video. 

Battery life seems respectable too, with @Quadro_News estimating up to four hours of recording on a single charge. Connectivity-wise, we’re looking at Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi 6. 

Storage shouldn’t be an immediate concern either as the action cam is said to come with 47GB built-in and will be expandable up to 1 TB via a microSD card. For audio, the leak suggests the Osmo Action 5 Pro will sport three stereo microphones. 

Likewise, the software features the action camera is expected to have is 360° HorizonSteady, Live Stream, OsmoAudio, Subject Centering & Tracking and Voice Control. 

Pricing details are a bit fuzzy, but @Quadro_News hints that the Osmo Action 5 Pr’s “Adventure Combo” with various accessories could retail for €450-€490 (roughly $520-$570 USD). The expected launch date is September 12th, so we shouldn’t have to wait too long for official confirmation.
