Pros and cons
DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro
Pros
- Two OLED touchscreens: frame your self-shot on the front instead of shooting blind
- 1/1.3" sensor delivers noticeably better low-light than GoPro — useful on early-morning rides
- 150 min battery at 0 °C where the GoPro stock battery does ~35 min
- Waterproof to 20 m without a housing — twice the HERO13
Cons
- Mount ecosystem is smaller than GoPro; many third-party mounts need an adapter
- Stabilization on very rough MTB singletrack stays just below HyperSmooth 6.0
GoPro HERO13 Black
Pros
- HyperSmooth 6.0 — currently the smoothest stabilization on the market, even on rough MTB singletrack
- 5.3K/60fps produces sharp crash evidence insurers accept without argument
- Waterproof to 10 m without a housing, so the IPX hassle in Dutch autumn rain is over
- Enduro battery retains ~90% capacity at 0 °C where the stock battery halves
Cons
- Battery life at the highest bitrate disappoints on long tours — a spare battery is basically mandatory
- Price is well above Akaso and older Sony models if all you want is a dashcam role
