DJI gives only the camera’s highest bitrate, so these are the shortest times: every other mode uses fewer bits and records longer.
The list stops at 1 TB, the largest card DJI says the camera takes. Cards are counted as their makers count them (1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes) and keep a little room for themselves.

What DJI says
Built-in storage first, then the card
The Action 5 Pro is the one camera here with storage of its own: DJI says 64 GB, of which 47 GB is available, enough for at least 52 minutes 13 seconds at the highest bitrate before a card is even needed.
It takes microSD cards up to 1 TB, which hold at least 18 hours 31 minutes at 120 Mbps. Long rides and whole days of filming are where that matters; split the footage into the parts worth keeping in the editor afterwards.
