DJI Osmo Action 4 Adventure Combo Unboxing and Initial Impressions/Vlog Test

[@bmw320i2]

What pushed me over the edge was coming back home from a week’s travel adventure and my bloody GoPro dated all the files 1-1-1970 11:59 am. Never mind the camera had the correct time and date. Chuck into the overheating, the frequent freezing and the never connecting to the stupid app…. My Osmo Pocket 2/3 just worked out of the box and I’m hoping for the same with the Action 4.

[@iansmithpersonal]

I believe the four circle stickers are for the base of the camera for slightly better grip when using underwater cage or other accessories. It’s strange that every review of this camera for vlogging is about the adventure kit and nobody has posted a review of the more specific vlogging kit.

[@thefullsetup]

That makes sense I think I’ve already lost them little sticker😂 The vlogging kit is just the standard action with a Dji mic. No extra batteries or selfie stick which is odd for such an expensive kit.

[@agger964]

The four circular stickies are for between the "fingers" on the mount as some mounts are a loose fit and these fill the gap allowing you to not overtighten the mounting screw and cause breakage or deformity✅ lots of spare 3rd party mounts come with them, hth 👍😉😎

[@iansmithpersonal]

@@thefullsetup I hadn't twigged that the vlogging kit didn't come with the battery case and spare batteries as something I read somewhere implied all the kits came with it. It means the "bundle" doesn't save you any money at all - in fact it's a penny more than if you bought the items separately. No wonder nobody's interested in it!

[@thefullsetup]

@@iansmithpersonal exactly it’s literally just a two product bundle nothing special Dji could of at least added in some extras for the price your paying.

[@iansmithpersonal]

@@agger964 Sorry but that's not right. Here's the official word from DJI: "The blue sticker is called the anti-slip mat. You may use them if the acessory and the Quick Release Adapter Mount are not firmly connected."

[@GuitarJams-zs7yf]

The plastic rings I think are washers to go where you screw your camera to your stick hinge so it so the camera doesn't droop down easy.

[@thefullsetup]

That makes sense think a few people have mentioned it, I’ve only gone and lost them since the unboxing 🤣🤣

[@pinoymedicvlogs]

You mean it works like a rubber booshing? Hmmm, it make sense. I will try it.

[@iansmithpersonal]

I think they've had to introduce this as a pretty poor "fix" for the issue they've introduced by replacing the nice textured rubberised pad on the bottom of the Action 3 with the cheaper (but at an inflated price - go figure!) non-textured base which means the camera doesn't grip the way it should. There's a nice demo from another reviewer placing the Action 3 and the Action 4 on a slightly sloping arm of a polished wood armchair. The Action 3 stays in place. The Action 4 just slides down the arm and won't stay still. Poor design! @@thefullsetup

Loved this video and subscribed the channel in a hope that u will creat more videos about DJI action 4 because i just bout my new cam a few days ago. Thanks

[@DIYDumpRat]

Excellent video mate thanks. Thinking about finally ditching my mobile phone and using is camera for my channel. Especially now that it has a bigger sensor. Have you been shooting with it inside with low light? How's the footage look. Tia 👍

[@thefullsetup]

Haven’t really used it indoors as I have the zv-e1 for studio work. Been loving using it outdoors though compact, easy to use and great image and battery life perfect little travel camera. I can get similar results with my iPhones on a gimbal but I just like having my phone in my pocket.

[@eprohoda]

howdy?,yeah!very super . so long. Thefullsetup~🖖

[@anthonyjohnson7537]

Does the adventure combo not come with waterproof case for scuba diving?

[@Bearsediter2024]

Waterproof out of the box??

[@imboredDB]

I read the cage comes with it has restrictions to using the camera? Great review, im afraid to take my out of the box😮!

[@biggooseadventures]

Nice video Does the cage it comes with have a cold shoe built into it?

[@thefullsetup]

No sadly it doesn’t I would recommend the smallrig one 😀

[@gurugamer8632]

How does the video quality compare to iPhone 14 pro max? Maybe I can get the dji osmo mobile

[@SotoUnit23]

WoW audio is great

[@danielrusev4839]

Can the stick be attached to a wristband on the bottom to prevent it from being snatched from my hand?

[@BrekMartin]

It has a mounting hole for the lanyard, but mine didn't come with the lanyard itself.

[@myplacebg_]

Good day ! Can the battery be charged while recording?

[@damont4204]

It can, and you can also record without a baytery, directly on the charger

[@PersonManManManMan]

​@@damont4204tnx

[@SVT_Maverick]

Is the stick waterproof?

[@robertmiller6500]

Where did you get the case from please?

[@thefullsetup]

It’s a small rig action 3 cage you can get them off Amazon/eBay

[@Rumando2024]

E microfone externo pra motolog?

Hi, i want to ask about ( 09:10 ) the plastic washers? What is it for? No where i can't found any explanation about them. ???

[@sonyfan2166]

Enjoy🎉🎉🎉

[@prophetseven728]

Do you know if they sell a Zoom Lens with it? Kinda like they do for cell phones where you screw it on?

[@PersonManManManMan]

I would like to know too

[@humanityrocks9970]

It looks with Action 4 we don't need gimbal

[@DarkBasement]

Would this camera work for live streaming through your computer to Streamyard?

[@DustyFingersRC]

You can use it as a web cam

[@MaddyAnand]

Yes

[@greggh]

That's not a hot shoe. That's a cold shoe.

[@shanehubbardcreator]

Noob here, what is the difference?

[@greggh]

@@shanehubbardcreator A hot shoe makes a data and power connection when slide the device into the shoe. A cold shoe just provides an attachment spot for the device. You will have to run a USB or 3.5 mm TRS cable from the device to the jack.

[@gurugamer8632]

Any good for travel holiday?

[@thefullsetup]

Perfect for travel, small, light, waterproof to 18m and some pretty good video quality when setup correctly.

[@melodicprogressivehousemph6429]

Question, does the stick converts to a tripod?

[@thefullsetup]

It has 1/4 thread on the bottom if you want get a tripod stand for it.

[@melodicprogressivehousemph6429]

@@thefullsetup Cheers boss.

[@ankitmatey7597]

can you please suggest the best memory card for action 4

[@thefullsetup]

I use the Sandisk extreme pro v30 cards with mine

[@quazar912]

any card from Sandisk or samsung will do

[@RubberontheroadIndonesia]

@@quazar912 NO THEY WON'T,, you need a fast card or you will get corrupted files. Research!!!

[@iam_riro]

Is it just me or the dji osmo 4 packaging is not as secured as the go pro 12 packaging. I mean will it not break during transport? If the box fall accidentally, the go pro is safer.

[@enriquemartin8655]

Thank you for your presentation. Will you provide the total cost of your package?

[@thefullsetup]

Glad you enjoyed the video, current retail in uk is £460

[@bryanbrian1234]

looked like someone gave you a couple black eyes when you turned around

[@thefullsetup]

Yeah probably should of had the iso up. Higher, I also struggle with sleeping so look like some permanently hungry raccoon 😂😂

[@sun-man]

I can't see the point of these action cameras for ordinary vloggers... why not just use your smartphone?

[@Technobby]

Exchangeable battery Exchangeable memory Not filling up phone storage Much more durable Maybe safer from stolen in some area No notification Keep dedicated between phone and camera Ofc, it's not a must. If having phone is enough, it is enough, no need more action cam.

[@sun-man]

@@Technobby Thanks, great reply!

[@1Know1tHurts]

For me the main point would be stabilization👍

[@sun-man]

@@1Know1tHurts My Samsung flagship phone stabilizes just fine

[@welshieallovertheplace]

​@@TechnobbyLet's not forget that the risk of some Indian scammer calling you on an action camera mid-recording and ruining your whole video is pretty much zero, whereas if you were recording on a phone ...
