But in 2026, with so many new camera options available, does this ageing beast still hold up? In this video, I dive deep into the real-world performance of the Osmo X5 Pro — especially as a dedicated b-roll camera. I’ll walk you through the pros, quirks, image quality, colour profiles, and even some surprising use cases (like filming a Bugatti Chiron speed run 🚀). You'll also hear my honest thoughts on the audio issues, fan noise, and the annoying lack of a screen or base unit. Whether you're considering one for your kit or just curious about how older gear performs today, this breakdown will give you everything you need to know. 💡 What’s Covered in This Video: 📷 What makes the DJI Osmo X5 Pro unique ✅ Pros & standout features in today’s landscape 🎨 Image quality & colour profiles tested 📦 What’s included in the box + the rugged case 🎧 Audio challenges + why the fan noise matters 📱 Using your phone as a monitor – is it a dealbreaker? 🏎️ Footage from a Bugatti Chiron speed run 🤔 Final verdict – is it still worth it in 2026? 👉 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more camera reviews, gear breakdowns, and creative production content. =========================== CHAPTERS: 0:00 - Introduction 0:57 - What is the X5? 1:35 - The pros 2:46 - Image quality 3:50 - The included case 5:23 - Sound issues 6:32 - Fan noise 7:30 - Using your phone as a screen 8:37 - The lack of a base 9:32 - Colour profiles 10:21 - Bugatti Chiron speed run 11:08 - What's included in the box? 12:11 - Is it worth it in 2026? 12:55 - Conclusion =========================== THE GEAR I USE: Camera: Sony ZV-E10 https://amzn.to/3T63yCI Lens 1: Sony 11mm f/1.4 https://amzn.to/3UQe02h Lens 2: Sony 50mm f/1.8 https://amzn.to/49AMjPk Lens 3: 7Artisans 35mm T2.0 Cine https://amzn.to/3ORVgf8 Gimbal: DJI Ronin RS3 Mini https://amzn.to/3uKsKoW Main Mic: Shure MV7 https://amzn.to/42R10eW Wireless Mic: DJI Mic Mini Lighting: Neewer Bi-Colour 660 LED https://amzn.to/3SRgrz2 BOOK A CALL TO DISCUSS YOUR NEXT CREATIVE PROJECT http://www.spectrallens.com/discover-call CONNECT WITH US Instagram ➡︎ http://www.instagram.com/spectrallens TikTok ➡︎ https://www.tiktok.com/@spectrallens Twitter ➡︎ https://www.twitter.com/spectrallens Website ➡︎ https://www.spectrallens.com Be sure to SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube Channel @spectrallens =========================== DISCLAIMER: The statements made in this video are my own and reflect my experiences with the gear shown.
