Thinking about getting a DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro — looking for real-world advice from current owners.

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all are doing well.

For context, I’m not a hardcore action sports guy or content creator. I’m more looking for an easy “life capture” camera for:

  • parks/playgrounds with the kids
  • cottage trips
  • beaches/lakes
  • Thailand/Japan travel
  • walking around
  • POV/family moments
  • quick clips/photos while on the move

What’s attracting me is:

  • waterproofing
  • stabilization
  • portability
  • ability to clip it to a backpack/chest/hat
  • easy grab-and-record convenience
  • ability to extract stills from video if needed

I originally started looking at Fuji/Nikon mirrorless cameras, but realized I may actually value convenience and spontaneity more for this stage of life.

A few questions for current users:

  1. Is the Action 5 Pro actually good enough for family/travel photography and casual videos?
  2. Would you recommend the Standard or Adventure Combo?
  3. Which accessories ended up being genuinely useful vs wasted money?
  4. Any must-have mounts for family/travel use?
  5. How is low-light performance realistically at parks/restaurants/night markets/etc?
  6. Any regrets going DJI over GoPro?
  7. Do you still use it regularly months later, or did the novelty wear off?

Appreciate any insight from real-world users before I jump in 🙏

Looking for a solid mechanic in the Pickering / Ajax area for my 2016 Dodge Ram.

Mainly looking for:
- Honest diagnostics
- Good communication
- Someone who actually knows modern Dodge/Ram trucks well
- Fair pricing (not necessarily the cheapest)
- Preferably a shop that doesn’t just throw parts at problems

I’m okay paying for quality work if the mechanic is trustworthy and thorough.

Would appreciate feedback from the community on:
- Shops you personally use
- Mechanics to avoid
- Experiences with diesel/truck work
- Places good for long-term maintenance vs just quick repairs

Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to source 100% grass-fed / grass-finished beef tallow from a local farm (Durham Region or nearby) — ideally something farm-direct or small-batch, not commercial/retail brands.

If anyone has a go-to farm or supplier they’d recommend, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks 🙏
