DJI Osmo Action 3 Beginners Guide

[@thechriswhewell]

Really useful. I've now set 4 different setting modes, and can now concentrate on pointing the camera at the subject

[@HandZ_gaming]

My Action 3 turns up tomorrow, i wasnt sure if i was going to be able to film little cinematic peices with it, but after your intro im inspired. good video mate

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

Stoked to hear, yeah, definitely more than capable of capturing cinematic moments :) You got this!

[@theforrestree]

This was SO helpful! I've been thinking about upgrading from my GoPro Hero 7 to the DJI Osmo 3 and this was great in-depth look before buying.

[@bicolanoDIYerInCanada]

I also have gopro 7 and I added the action 3 for my vlogging.

[@HamsterBrainStudio]

Wow! Awesome job Jake! Thanks for the simple explanation. They should include your video with the product.

[@borekpalasek623]

Hi, I recently came across your youtube channel. I am really excited about your work. I am very interested to see how the DJI OA3 will perform and I look forward to every next video. It's clear to me that DJI has been pushing the release date and a few more updates will be necessary before the camera settles down. But comparable competition with GoPro will certainly bring benefits to fans of this brand.

[@cameronjudy2011]

Thank you i just bought this camera and this pretty much told me everything i needed to know to get started.

How do you get videos to download on to iPhone through the app mine keeps coming up with having to connect to the camera but I can still edit and watch the videos on the app but they just won’t download any help would be appreciated

[@SSUKBD]

You said you like do videos in 4K as you post in KZbin? Will it not make the FILE SIZE too BIG? Can you tell me, if you do 1 min video in 1080p and 4k what the file size is in both case. What different it will make of you do it as 1080p Vs 4K? who watch KZbin in 4k? Because it will eat up all their mobile data.

[@danlovesayu]

Can’t believe all these social media bloggers nowadays when AC3 has focusing issues which is a physical problem which can’t be solve with firmware updates. There are other KZbin videos which clearly shows the actual problem. We don’t need another video about promoting AC3 features but what we need is DJI recalling back all their broken product and acknowledge it’s a problem. Biggest drone company in the world but not willing to admit their mistakes is a no go for me. AC2 had heat issues which is still bearable as it still churn out sharp crispy videos. Even my DJI retailer advise me not to purchase just yet until the 3rd batch. 😂😂😂

[@Grumpysusie]

Hello. I am a total newbie to video cameras. I appreciate this video from you for beginners with the DJI Action 3. My husband bought my DJI for me this last Christmas and I've been too afraid to use it. I am an artist and want to use my DJI for filming my art/painting tutorials which will mostly consist of my camera following my hands working on my canvasses. Do you have any suggestions for settings of me painting in front of a large wall with canvas on it, or canvas sitting on a surface and one edge along the base of my wall easel? I've never shot a video of my painting practices in my life, I really need some help! This old lady is LOST. Thank you.

The new firmware upgrade has HDR. Would you recommend that setting for vlogging?

[@ronmarvicsin7709]

Very nice job in starting us out however maybe you should just show us how to turn it on and take some basic pictures and film. All those settings tend to confuse older people like me lol. Btw the plant to your right I was looking closely at it. Has it ever bloomed? I believe it’s in the family what we call NIGHT BLOOMING CERUS. Yes only blooms at night, only last for one night. The most I’ve ever had in one night was 22 on three different plants. My dad started them somewhere around 45 years ago.

[@ROBB_DEEP]

What mic are you using?

[@paulietv2162]

Every time I create a new custom setting (e.g C3), it overwrites not only the earlier custom settings (C1 & C2) but also the general video settings.

[@SSUKBD]

1:40 what does the 5 attempts mean? When I bought mine, I was trying to connect with my Samsung Note 9 Mimo app, but it was unable to find the camera and connect it. Then. Downloaded the new Mimo app, from WiFi setting Stopped mobile data as instructed. Still not connecting. Found some solution from internet. So got one old Android phone Samsung S7 edge, downloaded the new Mimo app and it connected automatically. My cam was the 2023 version and came with updated Firmwire already. But I was Freaked out at first when I was unable to connect the phone and it's saying 4 attempts left? What does that mean. If someone unable to connect in 5 attempts, will it be useless?

it's completely up to you mate, both cameras offer great features, if you want more options for photo modes i would go with GoPro however if you want 10-bit video (which is coming soon but not yet available) think the action 3

[@joelbenoitthewanderingbiso4976]

Hello I'm really thinking about getting this, but have a question for you or anyone, is this difficult to activate, this is what it says on Amazon "When using your brand-new Osmo Action 3 for the first time, you have five chances to skip the activation process for product experience. Once the provided chances have been used up, you need to connect the camera to the DJI Mimo app for activation." I'm new to these cameras, do I need the app to use this camera? Thank you anyone.

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

It’s super easy, just download the DJI app and connect the camera, takes no more than 5 minutes and away you go 👌🏽

[@arnprasad]

is there is a confusion between cinematic and slowmotion? while slomo can be cinematic..its 24/25 fps that makes it cinematic.

I’m hearing more and more issues with the oa3

[@ThisTall]

I just bought an Action 3, and found out that any footage you film with the camera in horizontal position, will spin 90° and display on its side in the Mimo app on a tablet, no matter what you do…. I contacted DJI and they confirmed that the only way your footage will display horizontal on the app screen, is if the camera was filming while on its side in vertical position. How can this possibly be accepted by the internet? You literally have to lock your devise screen and spin it 90° to see your footage, while the app then has to display 90° out. I’m baffled

[@ShashaDivine]

hey! so i got my action 3 yesterday but ive noticed it gets hot quite fast. is that normal or is it something i should be concerned with?

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

depends on your environment, if you're in a pool and the camera is getting hot than sure it's a problem, if you're in room temperature, than no, they do tend to heat up when using them for long periods of time
