Amazon has just released Osmo Action 5 Pro Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals:
$15 free Amazon GC + Action 5 Pro bundle for $349 right now: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=DJI+Action+Standard+Camera+Amazon&BI=8941&KBID=10361&SID=12345&DFF=d50
Building on the earlier suggestion, the Action 5 is basically the shiny new toy everyone wants right now, but honestly, ive been doing this since the OG action cam days and sometimes the latest gear isnt the smartest play for your wallet! It reminds me of when I dropped way too much on a launch day setup years ago just to see a better bundle pop up a week later... it totally stung lol. Right now the thread is basically camera_04 being hyped for the gift card and Dome2 looking for a better bargain. If you really want to save, look at the GoPro HERO12 Black or even the Insta360 Ace Pro instead. Those older models are getting huge discounts right now since the new versions are out, and they still take amazing footage. Seriously, the value there is insane!
Like someone mentioned, these launch bundles dont really save you much. If you want a better deal and more reliability, the DJI Osmo Action 4 Standard Combo is a great alternative right now. It is significantly cheaper and the firmware is very stable since it has been out for a while. Quick tip... always use a high-speed card like the Samsung PRO Plus 256GB microSDXC. A lot of the overheating or freezing people see is just the camera struggling with slow storage. Going with the previous-gen model and a fast card is usually a safer bet for making sure your footage actually saves every time.
Finally, there is a deal on Action 5 Pro.
Any better deals online?
