I'm on the fence. When I bought my GoPro HERO6 Black in 2021, it immediately was locking up and corrupting files on the latest firmware at the time. Since then it's continued to have sporadic issues. It worked enough to get Black Hills footage back in 2021, but overall I'm not happy with GoPro. I'm thinking Insta360 Ace for the Cardo connectivity.

I can answer this. It overheated and made you lose footage, corrupted the SD card just because, and froze up and wouldn't turn back on until you disconnected the battery. GoPro is absolute garbage at this point and they have no intention on becoming a more reliable and better company.

That’s the truth, I have the 360 and 10 and film video on my moto, sick and tired of losing footage ( file repairing). Loss count of the times I’ve had to pull over and mess with the darn thing, pull the battery out and reinsert. I have the remote controller which connects to both my cameras which I couldn’t be without when I’m riding I have it mounted to where I use my thumb on my handlebars to activate and deactivate. What about the 360? Is there a DJI 360. Btw I loved their DJI mini drone until I lost it in the Ecuadorian mountains.( pilot error)

I was spectical about the paid promotion, even though I watched until the end of the video. I recently purchased osmo action 4 after several videos and I am also techie guy. But suddenly I realised almost all the videos hide one truth issue on the osmo action 4. That’s why I watched your video till the end if you would mention that, because I like all your previous videos and you were seem very honest for every of your comment. And at the end you mentioned that the really important downside about external cable microphone delay. This is really important issue for moto vloggers and others hide that truth And to be honest all comments I shared with you the same. Keep it going with these honest videos and I really like your content, congrats 👏

The biggest problem I have with dji is the compulsive account I have to create to use a camera, which leads to their horrendous terms of use. Limited activations for a camera, that requires an app that needs to be sideloaded on android? This is an unacceptable deal, despite the quality of the devices.

I just came back from a 12 days trip where I was filming on a Osmo Action 3, and I had several occasions when it shutted down due to overheating, but that was when I was filming stationary in hot conditions. It never overheated when I was on the go on a motorcycle. The thing which I wish would be the same as on the Action 4 is the direct connectivity from the cam to the wireless mic. With the Action 3 you need to plug in the dongle into the camera to use the mics. Which works well, but it means that when it starts raining I need to stop filming and take the camera away or to unplug the microphone dongle and put back the usb-c port cover to not flood the camera and the dongle. In real life I just stopped filming every time it started raining, which is a shame, because I really like how this camera films in rain. So I want to upgrade to Action 4 because of this dongleless mic connectivity, otherwise the Action 3 is good for me.

I use the Action 4 and the mic 2 for motocross videos and it's a great system. I also on occasion use a lav mic with the 3.5mm adapter so I can use voice commands. The DJI 3.5mm adapter adds better gain function to tune out wind noise as opposed to just plugging in a USB-C mic. A dead cat is also a must. I also started using the DJI wrist remote which has GPS capabilities and automatically transfers the data to the video file in the camera. All three pieces work perfectly together and automatically sync up after the first time you set them up. Using the Telemetry Overlay software to edit my videos I can get my lap times which is awesome. I have no problems with sponsored videos if they are honest and I agree with all your comments about the DJI camera. Never owned a GoPro but no need to. I watched my brother suffer through all the problems you described.

I will be constructive on why some viewers might be upset. I do not blame you or anyone wanting to switch to DJI or Insta360 for action cameras. I came to this conclusion not from this video but a true non biased non sponsored motorcycle comparison video. To me GoPro is a sinking ship with the constant layoffs and lack of urgency on fixing issues with hardware and software. What I think a lot of people are upset about is you have the money for a GS1300, you have the money for a Trophy SE, but you did not want to spend $600-$1000 dollars of camera equipment? In January you made a video about sponsored content with a thumbnail that said "it looks like a review but it's an ad" while you tried to argue that getting a free camera isn't really sponsorship I feel like it is because the FCC influencer guide does suggest that it is an ad. Wording in the guide needs to be more stringent but around page 5 there is an example. I thank you for disclosing but I feel like the video in January is now moot or was just a video to get on the bandwagon. If you want to make things right, do a giveaway show us the viewer "hey I like this you should too, I went out bought everything I got for free and here is your chance to win it" Show a copy of the receipt transparency helps.

One thing I've found really helps get clean in-helmet voice recordings is a chin curtain. Just reducing the turbulent wind and a bit of the road noise coming in from underneath makes a huge difference. To be fair, I use a Shoei Glamster, which is slim and loud, so it probably makes a bigger difference there than on a chonky touring helmet.

Awesome video. This is exactly what I have been looking for. I ride a big bike off road at high speeds, and have ruined many good takes with excessive wind noise using other action cams. I just purchased a DJI OA4, and a DJI compatible USB-C mic, and will try your settings. I mount the cam on top of my helmet because I have a tall windscreen (stock). Question 1. What audio settings (if any) need to be changed for the camera to see the USB-C mic, and switch to record from that source ONLY. I want to be able to completely tun off (mute) all other mics except the tapped up wired lavalier inside my helmet. Question 2. I have seen other DJIOA4 videos with little to no wind noise without any external mic attached. Is this possible by turning off (muting) the (2) front onboard mics and then using the onboard windproof mic on the top? Have you tried this? Thanks for all you do.

I bought two GoPro Hero 8's in 2022. One now consistently cycles on and off The second one turns off within 15 seconds . Neither one is usable anymore 4. I bought a 3rd GoPro Hero 8 in 2023. It now turns off within seconds after I push the on button it is not usable either 5. All five of these GoPro have had issues with heat, inconsistent recording, & corrupting files. 6. There is always a daily frustrating issues every time I use the GoPros 2 Questions about the DJI camera 1. I like using external battery banks. Can an external battery be connected to the DJI camera 2. I like that I could turn the GoPro on and off on my iPhone with an app. Can this be done with the DJI camera?

In the interests of balance the not overheating does not extend to the Action 2 cube-like camera which I own and becomes almost too hot to touch after 5 or 6 minutes at 4K/50p. Also my GoPro Hero 11 has indeed locked up spontaneously but only twice in over a year. No files were lost. I'd argue the GoPro is better built, feeling tike a rubber armoured solid chunk of metal whilst the DJI 4 seems less substantial. To be fair the only Action 4 I've seen was on an open tethered display in an electrical store. Both give almost equal (and outstanding) video quality. I AM having to return the GoPro so-called Media Mod for the 11 (the case gizmo with the external mic and extra inputs) which simply won't connect to the camera - wish I'd read more reviews before ordering as the internet is full of owners with the same problem. I'm in UK and this means I have to return it to the Netherlands - you'd think they would have some sort of a presence in the UK.

Ian’s right re the audio delay. When first turned on the mic volume is very loud with awful engine noise for maybe 10+ seconds then it is excellent. This glitch is a lot shorter for subsequent recording but you just wait 5 seconds then speak. I find the on/off button is not perfect and sometimes struggle to turn it both on and off. You need to be able to see the top of the rear screen to confirm it is filming.

I guess I'm the outlier, haven't had any significant issues across 3 different GoPro's. Hero 3, 10 and 12 Black. Maybe on one hand can I count the amount of times they have given me problems across hundreds of videos. Nothing is perfect. Keep them up to date, use SanDisk cards, official GoPro batteries, and they work fine. I do wish GoPro would bring back the built in DAC like DJI has though. It used to be in the Hero 3 & 4.

Don't know about GoPro's reliability in person (because don't have owned one), but is common KZbinrs complain about various issues (being battery or corrupted files or overheating, etc). In opposition to a DJI action 3 (adventure pack), which I own from three (3) months (didn't though needed the improvements in the action 4 and the 3 was at a very good price) and it is really reliable until now, in my experience. Better would be the magnetic mount to be reversible (but i imagine the magnetic poles don't allow that). Do you tried the same memory cards in both GoPro and DJI?

I still think GoPro is fine, even their external mic quality for motovlogging is way up there in terms of quality. But I experienced overheating, corrupted files, freezing problems and then suddenly the battery would drain even when the camera was off, that was my reason for switching to DJI, it's more reliable and has affordable accessories, also it looks better and its smaller.

That's funny, I listed all the issues I had while watching and then you basically listed everything I had experienced right after I typed it lol Btw you can change all the settings on the front screen of the OA4.

I can't speak for the DJI Action cameras, but I've had no problems with my drone or Pocket 3. They're both great. Hopefully the DJI ban our government is working on won't pass or at the very least, won't affect the action cameras. My Heroes haven't been a HUGE problem, sometimes it won't power up and you have to remove the battery and put it back in. Not very often. My main problem is I'm a motovlogger and the battery will die and I can't see that it died. This would be a problem with any action camera. I've had a less than pleasurable experience twice with Insta360 support. Not horrible, but not good. I had a Insta360 One X2 with frequent shut down problems that really put a damper on a two week trip (10-12 episodes). I like the clip mount for the DJI. But I have batteries and chargers for the HERO10 and the picture quality is very good. It would not be a small investment to switch. Unless DJI wants to send me free gear, of course. The DJI Mic2's audio quality is... average at best. With a fair amount of EQ and some compression, you can get it to sound reasonable. Without that it's not horrible, but it's peaky around 1.5-2k giving a bit of a shoebox sound. For an in helmet mic, I would not recommend the mic directly in front of your mouth. It's going to pick up your breath more and especially plosives and transiensts (picked a peck of pickled peppers... she sells sea shells by the sea shore). I'd put it about 45 degrees off to one side at mouth level. Of course, the slower you go, the less wind noise you'll have.

Moved to DJI a long time ago, GoPro lost the plot👍. Here in the UK most moto vloggers have moved to DJI or Insta.

GoPro are terrible for reliability to the point of being unusable which is why I switched to DJI some months back. The only issue I have with them is the delay in switching to the external mic when hitting the quick start button to start recording. Apart from that they are great 👍

Great timing; Looking for an action cam. GoPro has new one coming out in the Fall I don’t want to wait for plus their reliability, overheating, and battery issues and Insta360 action camera is kind of meh, image stabilization is not great and it weights a ton. Plus, they make a great drone, which I am also interested in.

I had small issues sometimes with my gopro, even had a replacement, cause it got some smoke from the inside, but this conversation of gopro replacement it's been out for years, and in the end most of the vlogers return to gopro, i hope this is not the case, and finally there could be some alternatives. BTW before my last gopro i had a bad experience with insta 360, they wait for the last day that paypal gave them, to refund me, and before that you can't imagine how their costumer service tried to stall me, they even said they last all my emails... this with a insta 360 one rs

Interesting that there's a lot of videos where DJI send cameras to KZbinrs, but I didn't find any video where GoPro provided free camera, except when is launching a product. I don't want to say that reviews are not honest, but, I thing that DJI, which I love and admire on it's product (i own DJI Mini 2, DJI Mini 4 pro, DJI Pocekt 2, DJI Osmo pocket 3, DJI Action 2), wants this videos to use as their marketing strategy.

I bought an Osmo Action 3 a while ago, and struggled through trying to get audio with that camera.. so when the OA4 came out and they gave the DJI Mic 2 the direct connection to the camera I jumped on it. I don't vlog much, but the Mic 2 has the 64 bit floating audio, and according the DJI it isn't supposed to even be able to clip the audio. Plus you can always just plug your lav mic into the DJI Mic 2 if you wanted to keep your camera sealed up in the rain
