The extremely versatile Osmo Action 5 Pro is designed to shoot in just about any environment. It’s completely waterproof up to 20 meters and can even handle freezing temperatures of up to -4 degrees Fahrenheit.

It can capture 4K/120fps video for smooth, fluid action and has advanced features that make it easy to keep the subject centered and your videos steady. Each battery has a 4-hour lifespan, so with three total you can shoot all day without having to stop and recharge.
Why this deal matters
Though we haven’t reviewed the Osmo Action 5 Pro, DJI is well known for its premium content creation gear — claiming nearly every spot in our ranking of 2024’s best drones. And deals on its products don’t come around every day, so any chance to score some savings on one of its latest action cameras is a bargain worth considering.
Best last-minute gifts, according to CNET readers
Based on their popularity, here are the holiday deals that you should be considering:
Will this item arrive in time for Christmas?
If you’re ordering this as a holiday gift, you probably want to know if it’s going to arrive on time. With Christmas and Hanukkah both taking place on Dec. 25 this year and Kwanzaa kicking off the day after, it’s important to note shipping deadlines for USPS, FedEx, UPS, Amazon and others.
Guaranteed shipping deadlines at some of these delivery companies arrived as soon as Dec. 16, with others offering expedited services that may allow you to order as late as Dec. 23 or even Dec. 24. Where delivery is no longer possible, be sure to assess your in-store pickup options or check out these great digital deals for the holidays.
This DJI camera will arrive before Christmas, according to Amazon. However, it looks like the batteries will be a couple days behind the camera. Make sure to double-check shipping details directly on Amazon.
