DJI Action 5 Pro

I have not found a real life test, but I did find stationary on table test, both models with the new battery. 4 got just over 2h, and 5 got almost 3h. So there is other difference hidden in the camera for sure.
edit: that was recording with 1080p30 and no motion before the lens, just aimed at some box.

That's about the simplest - and most effective - test one can do for repeatable results.

And, it confirms the 50% increase in battery life - even though the new battery only has what, 10 or 20% more capacity?

I'm also pretty sure static tests like that are what damaged my Hero 9 as the camera gets way too hot when there is no airflow... is an action camera after all! :-D

Ouch! I've overheated almost all my GoPros, including static testing, and they didn't suffer any lasting damage.
