Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is back, running from March 25 through March 31. It’s basically Prime Day’s laid-back cousin—longer, with slightly less fanfare, but still a decent time to pick up things you’ve been eyeing for months. And no, you don’t have to be a Prime member, but the better deals go to those who are . Luckily, Amazon still hands out 30-day Prime trials like candy, so you can sign up now, grab the deals, and bail before paying a dime .
If you’ve been waiting to upgrade your action cam setup, the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro just dropped to its lowest price yet, according to online price-tracking tools . The Adventure Combo is down to $369 from $449 and comes fully loaded with accessories—three extended-life batteries, a protective frame, multiple mounting options, a lens cover and protector, a battery case that doubles as a charger, and a 1.5-meter extension rod (handy for wide shots or selfie-style vlogging).
It’s a lot, but it makes sense if you’re shooting outdoors for long stretches or need the flexibility of different angles and setups. It was named Best Action Camera of 2024 by PCMag, thanks to features like its 10-bit D-Log M for richer color grading, sharp HDR video, and a front OLED touchscreen that’s bright enough to use in direct sunlight. The sensor size is also a healthy 1/1.3 inch, which reportedly makes a difference when you’re shooting in low light. Plus, it’s waterproof up to 20 meters without a case, and its image stabilization handles chaotic movement surprisingly well—great for someone capturing rough terrain on a mountain bike or filming themselves surfing.

That said, if you’re more of a casual creator or don’t need all the bells and whistles, the Essential Combo is probably enough. It’s $319, down from $339, and includes just one battery and the core mounts, though it lacks the horizontal-vertical protective frame. Same camera, fewer accessories. For day trips, vlogging, or hobby shooting, it’ll do the job without cluttering your bag. Just keep in mind that battery life hovers around two to four hours per charge (depending on usage), so having only one battery might get frustrating fast if you’re planning to shoot all day. Still, it’s hard to argue with the performance packed into such a small body, especially at this price.
