DJI OSMO Action 1 in 2024

In this video I go over one of my favorite budget cameras. The DJI OSMO Action 1. These are really affordable now and make for a great small youtube camera.

I got 2 of them and still use them.on travels, love it! But i also got the Pocket 3 and Dji mini 2 drone, for everything else that Osmo action cant do. Osmo action is still very good, specially daylight. So small, so fast to record and very easy to use. For me its perfect still, i only shoot in 1080p and got no reason to go 4k, but thats me. I dont believe most ppl will tell/know different between 1080/4k, bcuz most ppl watch on their phones nowdays or dont got tv/monitor with 4k.

I make the occasional walking video and the DJI Action 1 meets my needs perfectly. I even used it to record a wedding last year and got great results.

I used the Og Osmo Action for the first time in a while for a MotoVlog video and I had forgot how good this camera definitely has held up over the years as a good reliable little camera…

[@TravisShore542]

I’m getting set up to do a lot of moto vlogging this year with it. Just got two fresh batteries.

[@SimpleAsBDCs]

@ Cool man I’ll be looking out for your videos in the future…

[@NikMan987]

I have upgraded from 1 to 5 and the difference is really worth buying.

very nice review! This Osmo Action and the instago 2 are actually what I have been using to shoot my family trip videos, and I love em! Used to shoot with my mirrorless but for a father of 3, this camera is much much more compact and convenient to use ✅✅

[@TravisShore542]

Thanks!

[@solomonericfilms]

Very Nice. I have one and about to buy another one second hand as it's great for car videos! Great video, thanks for sharing 👌

[@TravisShore542]

Thanks for watching!

[@SendiBadi9992]

Hi Travis, whats the best external mic to use this one?. Many thanks! Greetings from the Philippines 🫰

[@TravisShore542]

The best one that I’ve used was one from movo the vx10 pro. But it quit working after a few months. But it seemed to get along with the camera the best.

[@VietKieuLongNguyen]

ETM-001 Microphone is the best one with an Deadcat, great sounds even on wind, i got 2 of them

[@Worthfishing]

I got two of the Osmo actions original ones still working good use them to make fishing videos. I just bought the Osmo action 4 about five months ago,It's also great It has a few more features that I do like better..

[@motoalley]

the fact that an older camera like that can still put out that good of video in 2024, looks good on DJI, I recently got the action 4 and the video is comparable

[@TravisShore542]

Thanks for the comment! Do you like the osmo 4?

[@motoalley]

@Travis542 I do, only used it a couple times so far, one thing I like most is the compatibility with the wireless mic 2 transmitter

[@dholpz]

There's no quick record in it or driving mode? When you open the camera it instant recording? TIA

[@TravisShore542]

You can set it up to where it preserves the last used settings. Then you can just hit the record button with it off and it will start in about 2 seconds. Once stopped the camera will auto shut off. Great question.

[@omarhill7345]

Hey man, i have the osmo action 1 and noticed microphone audio level bars that goes up and down when you speak turned to a solid microphone logo, Is that normal?

[@TravisShore542]

I’ve been having audio issues myself. I think it comes from the jjc adapter. I’ve just been using my zoom h1n.

[@montre-moi]

Whats the lens cover size/thread size?

[@TravisShore542]

I’m a little unsure on what your asking. The screw off lens cover is specific to the osmo action. But with a small rig cage it’d be 52mm. Please let me know if that’s not what you’re asking.

[@montre-moi]

@@TravisShore542 I'm asking about the screw off lens cover. What diameter is it? Is the thread metric or "exotic"? Maybe there could be interesting stuff to screw in place, like ND filters, polarizing filter etc

[@TravisShore542]

@@montre-moi it’s an cover that is specific. Although neewer made a kit with nd filters and cpl filters for the osmo 1. I’ve got one from eBay that was super cheap.

[@SinanWP]

it is still good :)

[@Chinhnguyen0497]

man. life is hard when being broke. Im trying to get one but the gopro 7 feels so much better. wider fov in wide, even wider with superview and has stabilization aswell, better stabilization in low light. But the audio adapter is the only thing that bothers me

[@imrelentless97]

Thoughts on this camera for motovlogging? Is there a way to use this on your chin mount on the helmet? Just starting out and don't have over 400 bucks on all items to spend on right now. Found this camera with 2 batteries on FB Marketplace and I just need your opinion on it. I plan on shooting at 1080p 30fps. Think viewers would like it. Please let me know! Thanks for the vid and new sub btw!

[@TravisShore542]

Oh yeah it would work great. I’d record audio separately on something like a zoom essentials h1.

[@TravisShore542]

There’s mounts available to mount it to the helmet.

[@imrelentless97]

@Travis542 thank you, going to look at it in person. For post production is it easy to use and combine both audio and video? What do you use for post production. I heard a motovlogger use cap cut on an iPad 🤦‍♂️😂

[@GDe-gi1kz]

Bro where to buy

[@TravisShore542]

eBay

[@PisangzChannel]

Im still using until now😂

[@TravisShore542]

I bought a bunch of stuff for mine lol. The neewer nd filters are more than half off on Amazon right now.

[@PisangzChannel]

​@@TravisShore542great choice!! Keep vloging about this action camera
