DETAILED GoPro HERO11 vs DJI Action 3 COMPARISON | Raw Footage

[@SuspensionTraveler]

How do they stack up 6 months later after firmware updates? Find out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoOtdn2Yhqx9jJY (Spoiler: the Action 3 caught up big time) Many of you asked for some regular videos to see the cameras in action. Here you go! 👇 DJI Osmo Action 3: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnrEaId9gKmnhJY Gopro Hero 11: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6aToYCNbdJkpck And in this one, I mixed footage from both cameras together: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKjbh6iVgKppnbc Can you guess which is which? 🤔

[@stefanp5261]

Świetne porównanie. Dzięki 💪👍

[@derNachtfuchs]

The best comparison video on KZbin of the two cameras.

[@MainJet158]

By far the best review I have found using action cams for action, thank you! I liked the A3 colors better and I liked the A3 wide view 30FPS. Stab was great on both. When the action is fast it's pretty hard to find fault with either one. I'll go with the Osmo and if they come out with a firmware that improves things then so much the better but I'm satisfied as is for what I plan to use it for, motocross videos. Ease of use, battery life, quick mounting options and also the ability to use usbc mics (as I plan to put one inside my helmet) are important factors for me. I only wish the A3 had GPS features like my Garmin Virb XE.

[@SuspensionTraveler]

Thanks for the kind words, appreciate it! 🙏 Ultrawide FOV looks dope on an MX bike I imagine! I tried out those GPS features, but they're so cumbersome to put into a video with that GoPro cloud software. Not a fan, personally. Yeah, that was one of the reasons I made this. Most reviewers treat these action cams like DSLRs or vlogging gear. Rolling around on smooth pavement at the most. Which I always found useless for what a good number of us are going to use them: difficult, changing lighting, fast direction changes and bumpy rides.

[@Michal_Guncar_Ganczarczyk]

Great comparison! I finally found some comparison of these cameras that makes sense to me. Now there is still a revised firmware for the Osmo Action 3 with a lot of changes. I'm curious to see how such a comparison would compare now

[@jonboz7585]

I really wanted to like my Action 3 that I received yesterday. Unfortunately, my new Samsung XCover Pro phone is not compatible, and I was unable to install the app to unlock and update the A3. DJI tech said, “Too bad. There’s nothing we can do about.” Then, I checked the GoPro site, where someone had a similar problem, though with a different phone. The GP techs offered a workaround: download the update from a GP site, onto a SD card, using a desktop computer. Insert the card into the GP and run the update. DJI needs to keep up, at least in this area. I’m really upset, since I had no ideal about such phone/camera incompatibility. Thanks for an EXCELLENT comparison, including the thrilling bike rides. My butt was sore, just watching.

[@SuspensionTraveler]

Jeez what a horror story! Not sure what the reasoning is of making the app mandatory to use the camera at all. Had to do a similar (not so elaborate) bodge when the DJI Mimo app wouldn't update on iOS. So I snatched an Android to do it. Thanks man, you're welcome!

[@OnlyJRMYDAVE]

Thats what i noticed on osmo action 3 when it sees a little bit of light/sky it will underexpose everything. Its very hard to control the exposure when in the shadow or shade area and the background has strong light. What i don’t like is the Image quality is a little bit soft. No exposure lock.

[@martinzdarsky2612]

Thanks for the great review. I haven't found a better one on KZbin and it shows exactly what I'm interested in. I was using the old OA, unfortunately it didn't survive snorkeling. Unlike friends with Go Pro 8-10, I never had problems with freezing and other problems that GoPro suffers from. That's why I'm thinking about OA3. I liked the GP11 better in the test. But I also find the results of OA3 satisfactory for my use. I will wait until next season, by then the price of OA3 might drop a bit, or there will be some events like Black Friday or post-Christmas sale 😁 Thanks again for the great work, it helped me a lot.

[@SuspensionTraveler]

Sure thing, I'm glad you found it useful! If it wasn't for the few (but important to me after editing my A2 footage all year) issues, the OA3 would have been my overall choice too.

[@NavvLife]

also DJI has now got an updated firmware that people have reported to have improved quality of footage significantly as 10 bit color was included in it. Hope to see you posting an updated review video comparing GP 10, 11 & action 3 with updated firmware.

[@ymarus]

good work , bro!! This was a good test.

[@piciu256]

Thank you, I prefer the action 3 for better battery life etc., the things that it's not as good as GoPro at are no longer deal breakers, like they were with the first and second version.

[@davecook81]

One of the best reviews I have ever seen. Thanks!

[@SuspensionTraveler]

🙏 appreciate your kind words!

[@ArcticExploring]

This was a good test, and now OA3 is even better with the newest firmware. I can't wait to test mine out again when we get more daylight here.

[@spikeweb5193]

but still GP11 was better in low light :(

[@bazathome2002]

This is the comparison video I've been waiting for. The OA3 kept losing focus which is the deal breaker for me. It's a real shame as I was hoping it would do better, due to the lower price, better battery life and the magnetic clamps. I'm going to wait for Hero 11 mini reviews - esp. with regards battery life before I buy one of the Heros. My buddy got the best deal of all with a Hero 8 for £220 + 2 batts from Amazon in the last sale - the video quality is not far behind the Hero 11, however with the non-replaceable lens he's got to careful handling it.

[@SuspensionTraveler]

Agreed. While the OA3 looks downright amazing in the right conditions, it's mediocre in others and I could never figure out why until I put a GoPro next to it. The Hero 11 Mini apparently doesn't have removable batteries tho. So, Hero 9 or 10 with some extra batteries is probably one of the best deals right now.

[@JonathanGarcia-nb3vp]

The go pro beats him in the focus and that’s basic.

[@madfinntech]

It can't lose focus because it's a fixed-focus lens. It's either in focus or out of focus and this model is notorious for being out of focus and the only thing at the moment keeping me from buying it.

[@maximerumiel]

Amazing review. Just wanted to point out that the screen not turning off for the GoPro is in the settings. You can set it to 1 minute then it will turn off. The battery on the Action is still better though.

[@SuspensionTraveler]

Yeah I even had it set to the minimum then, which was 1 minute. They may have updated it to 30 seconds. Not entirely sure tho. Turns out, not playing around in the settings all day is a big battery saver haha OA3 is still ahead during normal use

[@maximerumiel]

@@SuspensionTraveler Totaly, there is no denying that Osmo Action 3 is far superior for battery life. And you are right, 1 minute is the shortest you can have. Thanks for making the video.

Awesome, thanks for letting me know! Glad you found it useful 🤙

[@papafreeride]

Thank you for the fantastic review. I have the GoPro 10 and am very happy with the camera in terms of picture and sound quality, so I can understand your decision. However, the support at GoPro is the worst I have ever experienced, so I was hoping that DJI would offer an alternative to switch for the next camera. Great video from my home bike park, keep it up!

[@SuspensionTraveler]

Thanks for sharing! It looks like Insta360 and DJI are slowly catching up. Maybe not quite there yet.

[@SuspensionTraveler]

@@nokkieg1 Thanks for sharing! That's also a big reason I went for the Action 2 in 2022. The DJI Action cam line-up is definitely the price-to-performance king in my book. You're paying extra for the head start GoPro has over their competition. But that gap is getting smaller with GoPro only iterating a little from model to model.

[@KafkaesqueRider]

Thanks for the comparsion man! I have a question having the OA3 on 4K 60fps and FOV:Ultra Wide does it let you have Rocksteady 3.0 on? Because on the comparsion it looks like it didn't have any stabilization on. Thanks!

[@SuspensionTraveler]

Good question. Yes, i left every other setting the same so rocksteady was on. However, the digital stabilization needs to crop in on the image. And it does so less on the maximum fov. It‘s a compromise for sure and why I rarely use it in my videos.

[@-ride-]

Servus, super Vergleich, danke! Und wenn ich zwar eigentlich wegen der Cams hier war..., sehr beeindruckend wie Du Dich da runter haust ;-)

[@BassManStrikes]

Did you have the foam wind slayer on the OA? Kind of looks like you had the color temp sensor blocked in the logo.

[@DrAgan_tortojed]

Thanks! Undoubtedly, 10-bit vs 8-bit makes a HUGE visual difference...sometimes (not as big as one could expect from ratio of 1:58). In terms of sound quality they match each other. But, the question that is left unanswered is: does GoPro 11 suffer from freezing in a long run like (allegedly) all previous models do? Reliability is the most concern for many of us - models 3 to 9 were/are NOTORIOUS for tending to freeze, to produce sudden artifacts (splitting the frame into halves), to suddenly STOP recording etc.. Are THESE issues finally addressed or not? On another note: hey, the video made without stabilization is more interesting - don't ever use IS when riding your mountain bike!🙏

[@SuspensionTraveler]

In terms of reliability, they're equal in my opinion after using them for a couple of months. I never had any overheating, freezing or currupted files with either. Even tho those are supposedly big issues. At least ones you hear about often. Sometimes the Hero 11 would act out when plugging into a computer. And I can't update the OA3 via DJI Mimo app. Those were my biggest technical frustrations so far. Funny you mention the stabilization! As a result of this testing, I started using the lowest IS option available. It's gotten so crazy good that footage looks unrealistically smooth on maximum. Completely off definitely looks immersive, but I also want to showcase the individual trails. So that's my compromise.

[@nicholaszani4280]

why does footage get so shaky on the Action 3 during Ultrawide view?

[@EternalArrow]

Oh wow, this stabilization looks as magic. Awosome! When it's off the footage is almost unwatchable.

[@NavvLife]

kudos to this guy for all the hardwork... thankyou:)

[@SuspensionTraveler]

My pleasure! :)

[@701aroundtheworld]

Excellent review. Thanks a lot.

[@aaronadventure]

Thank you so much for this comprehensive comparison! I hate my original Osmo Action, and have decided that if I'm going to keep making my own mountain-biking videos that I need to switch to DJI. So everything about the Hero 11 is making me drool, lol.

[@gutierresmendes5756]

Wow !! thanks for the video its amazing !

[@JonathanGarcia-nb3vp]

My main language is not English. I didn’t understand at the end which camera is best for you. Wonderful work in this comparison

[@SuspensionTraveler]

As you noted too, the sometimes blurry image of the OA3 is a no-go in my opinion. Also for MTB, the stable exposure of the GPH11 is such a big improvement. Those are my 2 main takeaways from this test and why I'll use the Hero 11. Thanks, Jonathan!

[@JonathanGarcia-nb3vp]

Gracias

[@agnareinarsson6375]

Great video, will you be making an update to this with the latest firmware update for the Osmo Action 3?

plz I want to help you which one is better but I love dji 😊

[@JIBBING_1980S]

Did u update the firmware ? Any new footage after the update ?

[@SuspensionTraveler]

Yeah I updated it. short answer: HDR mode improves dynamic range but drains battery quicker. And the exposure hunting is still there.

[@MrInternationalSound]

This was the best comparison vid

[@parkstraat9]

I am in the market for a gopro 10 or a dji action 3 (both are the same price) Like the magnetic mount on the dji, also the widther view (but stabilisation gets worse with the ultrawidth) Difficult to choose

[@EspenJohan]

The Gopro looks way better, is Dji recording with a lower bitrate then GoPro?. Maybe the colors looks a little better on Dji in normal profile.

[@SuspensionTraveler]

Good point. It looks like that to me as well. While the OA3, on paper, has a higher bitrate (130 vs 120), it seems to not go that high in real world use. And there is no setting for it like the Gopro has. Edit: Just confirmed that theory with the file data. GP: 118mbits vs 89mbits OA3 for the same shot.

[@EspenJohan]

@@SuspensionTraveler you got a new subscriber from Norway 🇧🇻

[@SuspensionTraveler]

@@EspenJohan oh shoot, now i remember where I've seen your channel before! I watched your Flat vs D-Cinelike video before i pulled the trigger on the GP11 😆 was very skeptical of the flat profile before working with it. Anyway, appreciat it. Thank you, Espen.

[@aryaprincess2479]

This is where DJI went wrong, they released the camera and then after everyone did their comparisons against GoPro11, they decided to release a new firmware that allowed for 10bit. Pretty much every comparison exists when the camera was out and that gives them a negative review because they compare 8bit vs 10bit. Also the lens not being screwed correctly that made it out of focus also contributed to the bad reviews. This focus thing was never going to be fixed with a firmware but fiddling with the lens for less than 5 minutes to fix the focus!

[@harrylen1688]

👍

[@dongee1664]

I'm in the video only 3 minutes and the clarity/sharpness of the hero seems far superior.

[@pwn3d_d1rt]

The OA3 got the firmware update with 10bit colour and fix for the focusing issue! Looks so much better now 🤙

[@SuspensionTraveler]

Good tip! I had enabled that, but the DJI can do it instantly, which is 1 minute of screen-on-time wasted every time you press record on the GoPro. Brightness was turned down to 30% aswell. I was using every battery saving option I could find. The Hero 11 just needs its options measured in seconds, not minutes.

[@MegaMikako]

[@LMRomao]

Nice video, with a very interesting theme. I continue to think that the gopro is much better than any other camera for this type of sport. I've also used others for my mtb videos and without a doubt the gopro. Congratulations for the video, I subscribed to your channel.

[@martinmarinovv]

Hi man, I have osmo action 3 and I want to shoot on the D-Clike but I can't color grade it properly in post. Can you share the color grading settings for the DJI flat profile? I've searched for so many tutorials but can't find none. And what software are you using to color grade?

[@SuspensionTraveler]

It's simple: Davinci Resolve (free) for editing and one of my LUT presets. I saved my favorite color grades for easy access. You can download a free one here: suspension-traveler.com/shop/product-category/lut Forest Fade is probably the one I use most often

[@martinmarinovv]

@@SuspensionTraveler Thank you so much! I use davinci too but I'm not that good in the coloring part. I'll download the LUT and try it

[@SuspensionTraveler]

@@martinmarinovv Right on! Let me know how it went

[@martinmarinovv]

@@SuspensionTraveler I’ve tried it yesterday evening on a vid that I made in the afternoon with the motorbike and it’s insane, the colors really stand out, it has the right amount of exposure and balance between darks and whites

[@Superdisco199]

Amazing video mate, well done. Apart from the over-exposure, that's the first time I've seen anything surpass the GoPro. The exposure volatility never showed up on the tracks tho did it ? I had to research to see if direct powering is an option on the DJI as I run 5000mah on the gopro.

[@SuspensionTraveler]

Thanks a ton! If I show you, you may notice it more often. 😅 So, spoiler alert! For example, at 7:57 that section of track has a couple of parts where I go from bright sunlight into dark shade. And right at the transition (with the sky in the frame) the DJI flickers. 8:39 for another one. This of course, is the most difficult situation for any camera. Does the GoPro overheat if you do charge and record simultaneously? Only time it gets hot for me is sitting stationary charging with me playing around.

[@Superdisco199]

Oh thanks, I need to pay more attention! I actually take the battery out to save weight on my chin as it tips the helmet a bit. 100gram powerbank velcro'd to rear, counterbalances it a fraction, but not quite enough (a 1000gram helmet is easily upset it seems).

[@SuspensionTraveler]

@@Superdisco199 Oh wow, that's an interesting idea! Clever. By the way, it works with the OA3. Just tried it out. Incidentally, 100 grams is how much lighter the Action 2 is. Definitely won't be wearing the OA3 or GP11 on a helmet for the exact reason you mentioned.

[@Superdisco199]

Awesome thanks for the intel. I wanted to solve the main gopro issue i.e All my friends leave them at home!.. So a batteryless 8 (100grams) with little glue on mount and a rear power bank lasting 5hr15 @ 2.7/30.

[@SuspensionTraveler]

@@Superdisco199 Jeez, that's basically two or three days worth of recording on a single charge.

[@HappyHands.]

With the out of the box setup, the Hero 11 is clearly superior.. but i wonder how the comparison against a hero 9 would be. Especially considering you can get a new hero 9 for about 2 hundred dollars less than the Osmo action 3

[@SuspensionTraveler]

I never used the Hero9 but I think it's still good to go! More reliable than the 10 and basically the same features important for MTB (4K 30p). And it's the same housing, so even all Hero11 accessories fit! Hyperview and 10bit are the only major changes worth considering, both are negligible IMO.

[@hotel1257]

Many thanks for this comparison,appreciate :). I own action 2 and I'am happy with that. I filmed last season (mtb enduro) with action 2 and to me,video quality was fine. Ultrawide fov is just fantastic and creates more speed. So as I like ultrawide and oa3 has same ultrawide,is video quality on par with action 2? I'am aware oa3 issues.Also gopro 11 has hyperview but to me it looks little bit more narrow. But video quality looks sharper,but no speedy. Main frustration now action 2 is that,you can't film below 0', as it isn't cold resistant at least 4k is out.

[@SuspensionTraveler]

Yeah, Ultrawide is wider than Hyperview (which is basically Superview with only more FOV top and bottom). To me, Action 2 and OA3 look very similarly out of camera. Even in sharpness. The biggest differences are the quality of life and handling improvements. The OA3 is just better suited for rugged outdoor use. And the recent updates have been huge as well!

[@hotel1257]

@@SuspensionTraveler Many thanks🙂. As I have many magnet mounts and familiar with dji system,maybe will try oa3. Hopefully no focus issues. Though gopro 11 looks also good and I have read there's 10 bit at 4k/120 with gopro labs. If you have some info about that,please share.

[@PhillyBeats89]

Nice Video.. I love this Trails at Bikepark Geisskopf!!

[@immDroidz]

When not thinking about comparing, but rather just watching you ride, i found myself always looking at the GoPro footage because in terms of quality, its just better. ¨ I think they both have their pro's and cons tho and the Action 3 is not bad in any way imo. It would actually be my choice if i was buying one of them myself. That is based on longer battery life, and the fact that its 10% cheaper to buy the Action 3 "Adventure Combo" (with 3 batteries and a bunch of accessories), compared to just buying the GoPro 11 by itself, at least in Sweden. If i got to pick one for free, it would be the GoPro. For me, the extra quality wouldn't be worth all that money as its only for a hobby :P Great video and really good comparison.

[@xXadambXx]

interesting, dji in 1080/240 looks like no stabilization at all, if turn it off in gopro the FOV will be much closer ?

[@SuspensionTraveler]

Yeah, the FOV on Gopro does actually change with the level of stabilization. I now use Hypersmooth "On" instead of "Boost" for that reason.

[@JP1970]

Good comparison-thanks for taking the time to do this…I want to love the DJI 3 but I agree with you and others. It is r as sharp overall. You think this can be fixed with a firmware update?

[@SuspensionTraveler]

Seems like a lot of us in the same boat on this. I personally don't hold my breath as the Action 2 has many of the same issues, which didn't get a software fix. In my A2 videos from September I did less intense color grading, similar to here. And they look and behave very similar to each other imo. Maybe I'll have to put the A2 next to the OA3 to look at it in detail. Thanks, I'm glad it was helpful to you!

[@BOTG_Adventures]

I never let iso go above 800, it more natural for shady areas then.

[@SuspensionTraveler]

So that the image stays relatively dark you mean? The OA3 has a (hidden) minimum framerate setting now so you could get away with it, without breaking the stabilization. Even in dense forests. For me with a chest mount, it gets blurry rather quickly otherwise. But a helmet mount may fare better.

[@benjii_r1]

I wanted to love the Action 3 so bad but the soft focus when vlogging, crushed blacks and volatile exposure is what killed it for me.

Good point! You'll never know if your face is exposed right, especially with sky in the background. Very weird that D-Cinelike is so high-contrast but low-saturation at the same time.

@@SuspensionTraveler whoa! Thanks taking notice and the time to reply to my comment! But seriously though, I loved your comparison video. It was so detailed and you touched on everything. I have the action 3, but since it was made for action sports, and I wanted to use for vlogging, I opted to buy the 11 black as well. The wild exposure is definitely the worst problem though. The soft focus I can deal with honestly, but the wild swing on the exposure was definitely a deal breaker. But i think dji is more stable system wise. No lags, freezes, and longer battery life.

[@TeamCykelhold]

@@SuspensionTraveler Ah ok thanks! I was hoping it was further up north. If I'm driving all the way down there (from Denmark) I might as well go a few hours more and visit the alps. I saw you had some footage from Leogang too, so I guess you know :) But the trails in the footage looks super sick.

[@SuspensionTraveler]

@@TeamCykelhold Agreed. Tho, it's a great place to visit on the way through on a road trip to ride the alps. (It's not far from the highway) Not as steep but quite technical. So a good warm up. What's a recommendable bikepark or trail region up north? Wondering if it's worth trip incl. bike some time in the future.

[@TeamCykelhold]

@@SuspensionTraveler Harzen is great. Schulenberg Racepark is probably the best in Harzen. If you go all the way North to Sweden there are some lift service bikeparks too, but unless you drive really far up Sweden the parks are quite small. The nearest me is Vallåsen Bikepark. It's only 130hm, but the trails are decent. No big jumps though. For more technical trails you can go to Vångabacken. Very rough natural trails, and lift service 5 times per year. If you come North I can give you a tour.

The main thing by hero is ugly distortion, not for me. 10 bit can be delivered soon just put yourself in the corner of the frame and you will se the different 😊

[@IagoPereira]

What a great video 👍👍👍

[@SuspensionTraveler]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks 👍

[@Igai99]

Super Video! Des "super View" von der DJI is schon sehr cool muss i sagen! Sieht sehr linear aus und garnicht gemorpht/verzogen!

[@SuspensionTraveler]

Absolut! Das weite FOV von den DJI ist einfach ein geiler Effekt. Und das wackeligere Bild stört mich da auch gar nicht. Macht's eher realistischer. Danke dir!

[@Igai99]

@@SuspensionTraveler auf jeden fall. Leicht wackeln darf es beim downhillen eh, sonst siehts komolett smooth aus obwohl die gabel durchschlägt 😂

[@spikeweb5193]

why 30 not 60 fps :(((( Now DOA3 got 10 bit to. I wonder what the difference is now

[@SuspensionTraveler]

60 FPS starts at 25:55 I'm currently working on the update to this video. The 10bit firmware is a huge improvement, but more due to the better exposure and HDR, rather than more colors.

Hello, I would like your opinion for an XC mountain bike use, which model would you recommend ? Thx

[@SuspensionTraveler]

What's up! As I don't ride XC, I don't feel qualified in recommending a specific model. Sorry. But I got a tip for you: The best deals IMO are new bikes from your local bike shop. Either at an end of season sale or ones that are from a previous model year. Buy used only of you know how to be your own mechanic.

[@msieursebonride]

@@SuspensionTraveler Sorry, I misspoke. I'm bad at English. What model of camera do you recommend for filming XC mountain bike rides? ;)

[@SuspensionTraveler]

Haha, of course! Sorry I misread that. For longer XC rides I would assume battery life and weight are important factors. Out of the two in this video the OA3 lasts longer, but the H11 isn't *that* bad in normal use. Even tho the Action 2 would be lighter by itself, it lasts about 30min without battery module. It may sound stupid, but even for XC I would look into a chest mount (worn loosely). These cameras are noticeable on a helmet, especially a half shell. For the current price of the OA3, I can recommend it no worries. Or even previous action cams from DJI and GoPro in the last 2 years. Not so sure about the Insta360 ones for MTB. While I like the image of the H11 better, it comes at a price premium which I'm not sure is acceptable for everyone.

[@msieursebonride]

@@SuspensionTraveler Let's Go for Go Pro 11 + Chesty ;)

[@SuspensionTraveler]

Can‘t argue with that combo 😬 have fun filming!

[@swaggyswag147]

yeah this focus issue on action 3 has pissed me off, ive just past 14 days but just gonna say in business days still under 14 days and push for a refund. this is not acceptable, this is a shame because i love the setup of the battery case , fast charging etc.

[@SuspensionTraveler]

That sucks to hear! It would've been the perfect package for me too. Not sure what causes that between stabilization and exposure flickering. It seems to happen exceedingly in difficult, high-contrast lighting.

[@BassManStrikes]

I didn't notice any focus issue, is it only when using it for vlogging?

[@SuspensionTraveler]

@@BassManStrikes What I noticed were those micro-jitters or exposure flickering in some situations, that looked blurry. When going in and out of the shaded wood sections, it's noticeable the most.

[@JonathanGarcia-nb3vp]

@@SuspensionTravelerI bought the OA3. I had those 2 problems. Amazon returned it. Luckily, I noticed it on the second day

[@technicalbiplabbhai4053]

Nice video bro

[@solar-e-bike-touring-europe]

subscribed and liked, good review, that is some detailed action footage (I do not do that stuff on my travel bike) 😎

[@SuspensionTraveler]

Hah, at least not more than once before the travel bike gives up 😬 Thanks, mate! Appreciate it

[@arturaszaleskis8907]

Not sure about 19 bit as DJI action 3 had it already for a while

[@himalayanbgguitarworkshop1474]

Only osmo little bit down coz low light performance other wise ok. Steel hero11 won the match

[@HivonoviH_Jiji]

great video

[@omardgardiner2225]

Do a new video with the OA3 update.

[@joei4ever]

am I crazy, but shouldn't the left one be GoPro, and right one OA3? At least thats how the were mounted, unless you purposelly flipped sides in editing?

[@SuspensionTraveler]

Haha good catch! I had them mounted upside down on the chest rig to get the right angle.

[@codex8538]

Didn’t even bother to look at GoPro footage, Dji ❤

[@SuspensionTraveler]

Man, I could‘ve saved half the work video! 😅

[@MathieuTechMoto]

Wow !

[@proyectoforestaibague5279]

Super bueno el video

[@scottalexgray]

You should have download links to the rendered high-bitrate video. It's sometimes difficult to tell quality after KZbin does it's compression.

[@LaszloBagi]

You can't go wrong with either unless you get a Action 3 with a focus issue

[@JonathanGarcia-nb3vp]

I bought the OA3, it came out with a focus and stabilization problem.

[@LaszloBagi]

@@JonathanGarcia-nb3vp Get the GP 11 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZWXhJmefsuEsLc&t

[@LukisNysa]

ok i watch 2min and i say one thing GoPro Hero 11 much much better thx

[@SarapBuhayy]

dji is better, atleast for me

[@wolfe1970]

GoPro with their wind noise, its such a put off, specially as you cant move the audio via a mic unless you spend a ton more money, wont ever by GoPro again, its all about money grabbing with them

[@axelaydinkhalfani]

Wow 🥰

[@Haxterova_Dielna]

i think hero11 looks better.

[@E-MTBs]

GoPro footage looks better.

[@mohammadabubakarsiddique5470]

After watching your video I realise! Why gopro11 is 499€ and Dji is 380 €.
