The DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro (Adventure Combo) is down to $369 from its usual $449, which price trackers confirm is the lowest it has ever gone. Plenty of people default to GoPro for action cams, but DJI has been steadily carving out a space of its own. The Action 5 Pro shows why, as highlighted in our Associate Tech Editor Michelle’s review.

It’s small, light at 5.2 ounces, and surprisingly sturdy. It’s waterproof down to 65.6 feet without extra housing, which makes it safe for pool dives or sudden rainstorms. The camera shoots sharp 10-bit 4K120 footage, and its ultra-wide 155-degree field of view gives your clips a more dramatic look without obvious distortion. It also has dual touchscreens—front and back—which helps when you’re framing yourself or switching modes mid-shot.

Most people buy an action camera for two things: stability and reliability. DJI leans hard into both. Its RockSteady stabilization keeps movement under control, even if you’re running, biking over uneven roads, or strapping it to a helmet. The tradeoff is a slight crop, but the wide sensor covers that gap well. What stood out in testing, including PCMag’s “Outstanding” review, which named it the Best Action Camera of 2024, is the battery performance. DJI uses a 1,950mAh Extreme Battery Plus and a new 4nm image processor, and the results hold up in real use. The reviewer recorded 26 minutes at 4K60, 154 minutes at 4K30, and 182 minutes at 1080p30 before needing a break, and none of these tests triggered overheating. A GoPro Hero13, under the same conditions, lasted only about half an hour at 4K60 and shut down from heat. For anyone planning long shoots or travel content, that difference matters more than any spec sheet.

This particular Adventure Combo is also loaded with extras. You get the camera, three Extreme Battery Plus packs, a horizontal-vertical frame for quick orientation changes, two quick-release mounts, an adhesive curved base, locking screws, a USB-C PD cable, and a multifunctional battery case that holds and charges the batteries. DJI also includes a 1.5-meter extension rod, a rubber lens protector, a glass lens cover, and an anti-slip pad. It even has 48GB of internal storage, which is rare for action cams, plus a microSD slot for expansion. For $369, it’s still not a small spend, but compared to the competition, this one’s clearly built to go further without burning out, and it gives you a full setup out of the box.

What stores have the best sales on Black Friday?

Nowadays, both large retailers and small businesses compete for Black Friday shoppers, so you can expect practically every store to run sales through Monday, December 1, 2025. The “best” sales depend on your needs, but in general, the biggest discounts tend to come from larger retailers that can afford lower prices: think places like Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Home Depot. You can find all the best sales from major retailers on our live blog. 

Are Black Friday deals worth it?

In short, yes, Black Friday still offers discounts that can be rare throughout the rest of the year. If there’s something you want to buy, or you’re shopping for gifts, it’s a good time to look for discounts on what you need, especially tech sales, home improvement supplies, and fitness tech. Of course, if you need to save money, the best way to save is to not buy anything. 

Are Cyber Monday deals better than Black Friday?

Black Friday used to be bigger for major retailers and more expensive tech and appliances, while Cyber Monday was for cheaper tech and gave smaller businesses a chance to compete online. Nowadays, though, the distinction is almost meaningless. Every major retailer will offer sales on both days, and the smart move is to know what you want, use price trackers or refer to guides like our live blog that use price trackers for you, and don’t stress over finding the perfect timing.
