Can’t wait for the GoPro 12 vs Dji action 4 video.

[@billywiz1307]

I'm not rushing out to get this version. I listened to the same hyperbole over the Action 3 last year and what I have got is an out of focus heater which DJI have ignored. Unlike all these "reviewers", I actually buy my own DJI kit with my own money and if I got DJI kit for free I'm sure I would be as "pleased" as they seem to be.

[@davidsbrompton-1947]

You compelling, the girls melt my heart. Just hit the BUY button !

[@ttanke]

Great camera! Unfortunately not much has changed from the previous model. All improvements, as little as they may seem, are great and very much needed to push & keep the industry evolving, and I don't want to take away from that. This being said, here are some thoughts about some changes and things to consider if you are thinking about buying this: 1st - 18m waterproofness instead of 16m-- great! I get that 18m is the standard depth limit for open-water diving and it's very cool that the camera is on par and can handle this. But the average person going for a dive most likely won't reach 16m let alone 18m! And if the person does, chances are high that she/he is somehow invested in the sport, has a diving watch, and won't be guessing their depth. Also, if they ARE invested they WILL eventually go even deeper than 18m, then needing a case anyway. At that point, there's not much difference between the Action 3 and 4 anymore🤷 it's nice to have, but could've improved something more significant instead. 2nd - Larger sensor-- Obviously the major and best selling point for this newer version. Not much to say. It's amazing to see! 3rd - Image quality-- which goes hand in hand with the sensor and was one of the few and only, yet very important aspects, where many people preferred the GoProHero11 over the DJIOsmoAction3. A big selling point for GoPro! But DJI stepped up their game and might even be on top now! 4th - The Action4 is obviously here to compete with the current GoPro Hero11 & the coming Hero12. Yet, this camera still can't shoot 240fps @2,7k which I know doesn't bother most people (me included) but I've heard people complain about it on the Action 3 while the Hero11 already had it. So you would at least expect that DJI implements this in the Action 4, right? Yeah, but they didn't. They are now 2 generations behind GoPro. It's just a must at this point. 5th - Selling a separate GPS Bluetooth Remote Controller for € 80,- !! is really lame from DJI, honestly... not much to be said. Just disappointing. Just build it in like GoPro man, can't be that hard + it's not like you don't need to buy a ton of other accessories already anyways 🙄 DJI does have its advantages like the mounting, larger FOV, amazing charging "system", and now probably the better footage too. This is GoPro's chance to really catch up! If GoPro fixes their problems (shutting down due to overheating or due to too cold of an environment, overall reliability and customer service) and makes a bigger sensor like DJI did too, it'll get kind of tough for DJI to be honest. Obviously or at least you would think so, they are gonna increase their prices too but it's not like DJI didn't anyways and if they keep the price increase at a minimum (and I mean that!) they'll be able to get some customers back and most importantly clean up what happened with the Hero11 while being in a more competitive price segment! So, basically what I am trying to say is that the DJI Action 4 is a very minor upgrade from the Action 3 and the price difference basically lies on the improved sensor only... so if that's worth it for you, go for it. I'd really consider the Action 3 for most people though. Even if you want the DJI Osmo Action 4, which is understandable given the better sensor (not understandable for any other improvement tho), I'd still wait to see if they have other problems like the previous version did in the beginning (that got corrected afterwards) or just to see how the GoPro Hero 12 compares. I feel like it's in GoPro's hands now. Interested to see how they will handle this, that'll be interesting for sure.

[@maxzhang8996]

Couldn’t agree more! I actually tried it in the local store tonight, not much difference from action 3 expect better image quality. I’ll wait for GoPro 12 and see if there’s any major update. From my point of view the action 4 can’t even beat GoPro 11 in daylight mode.

[@DavidManningvlog]

I've gotta say that I agree with most of your points, but disagree with your conclusion. The sensor upgrade is a major jump and with those new image adjustment settings and low light setting, the footage coming out of this thing is a big jump from the 3. I think you're right that for most people, the 3 was plenty good enough, super reliable, and easy to use. But for users that prioritize image quality, a new sensor in a camera, especially when they make it bigger, is always a big jump. Also, it does suck that you need a separate remote for GPS. That's lame.

[@MARCHING100PAPARAZZI]

You said all this to say nothing. Dji is still the better product because you can actually use it instead of it overheating 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@toi3213]

Biggest flaw of action 3 is focusing issue. They may fix that in action 4.

[@MARCHING100PAPARAZZI]

@@toi3213 they fixed that in the later models of the A3

[@antonyshadowbanned]

Action 4 looks amazing and your daughters are the cutest! Makes me excited for the Pocket 3. Can't tell if they'll put the same sensor or -greedy me- a larger one.

[@DavidManningvlog]

Thanks Antony! This is the same sized sensor that's in a few of their drones now, so I would imagine that they'll use it as much as they can before iterating on it

[@iamnotapoet]

David, Does the DJI Action 4 still have infuriating 4gb file size limit? Thanks, as always, for the fantastic video. I have bought every DJI pocket and action camera and love them all. But I gave up on all of them for the infuriating 4 GB file size limit have. did they solve that and do they now allow you to record Larger video files? - Eric ZORK Alan & Sweetie [ Professional Poets & Bed Vloggers ]

[@iamnotapoet]

@@mtbohana I know it’s sourced from old FAT32 file system limitations (aka dark ages). And I know it has data safety advantages of mimimizing corrupted files. But EVERY other camaraderie has left this limit behind. And it’s infuriating (to me) to have to import 2-8 clips together. I LOVE the DJI action 3 and Pocket 2 but will NEVER use them again because of this limit. Instead I use my insta360 go3, insta360 onex, iPhone etc etc because they all let me create one ☝️ video file. I’ve just learned from Rainmaker channel that the Action 4 allows MUCH bigger files (over 17gb). But I am hoping DJI does an Action 3 firmware. It would be criminal if they try to make me give them $400 AGAIN just to fix this problem. - Eric ZORK Alan & Sweetie [ Professional Poets & Bed Vloggers ]

[@JaredDoyle76]

I was hoping for a resolution bump with the sensor area increase, but it's actually lower than the Action 3. I bit of a bummer since I like to use my Action 3 for stills.

[@MrWiseinheart]

[@my3dviews]

I got an Action 4 today. Just set it up and did some simple test videos. Was going to get a 3, but when I heard that the 4 was coming out soon, I decided to wait. More money, but decided it was worth it to get the newest model with a larger sensor.

[@JTube571]

I had an order placed for an Action 3 that wasn't scheduled to ship until August 14th. Decided to cancel it and order this instead. This is me switching from using Hero 7's and avoiding GoPro because of their constant issues with overheating and freezing. Looking forward to receiving it.

[@gothenburgguides]

I gotta say, im starting to get a bit pissed about all tech companies that just continue to push out new products each year that is just slight .... the minimal possible approvement over last produkt just for a fast cash grab. Why should I buy the Action 4?! They will probably release an exact copy called Action 5 in 8 months with a full 1 inch sensor! And of course, NO lenses or NDs that you use for 3 can fit the 4...... Have we really already hit the ceiling for what we can make in camera gear so we just have to re-launch the same stuff over and over? Doesn't latest Go>Pro shoot in 5 K or something? They couldn't do that in this one, or is that perhaps the Action 5 and the full inch 8 month after that is Action 6?! Release history of just the Actions: May 2019 - DJI Osmo Action (original) October 2021 - DJI Osmo Action 2 September 2022 - DJI Osmo Action 3 End of year 2023? - DJI Osmo Action 4 Its starting to feel like the PC game Assasins Creed

[@DavidManningvlog]

Meh. I've gotta disagree on this one. Nobody is forcing you to buy a new camera every year. For most people, picking up a new camera every 3-4 years is perfectly normal. But when they're able to launch new features and iterate on a camera, then I'm stoked that they do. For this camera a new sensor is quite the upgrade. The move from 1/1.7 to 1/1.3 might sound small but it's huge in the camera's overall performance. I'm hoping we see an Action 5 next year as well and hopefully an Action 6 the next! And again, if you've bought the Action 4, nobody will force you to buy the Action 5👍

[@teamsaunz]

Oh my gosh, watch out David, Eleanor was telling us about the batteries…she’s trying to take your job, lol. Adorable kids. Honestly, I don’t think there’s a significant upgrade unless you record in low light situations a lot. However, since I have the Action 3 adventure package, I wouldn’t need the Action 4 adventure package IF I were to purchase the 4…but I think I’ll skip the 4.

[@wildfox1994]

Isn't that just "soft focus" issue that action 3 was famous for?

[@playpm]

@@wildfox1994 No, I bought the 3 from DJI just 2 weeks ago, still the same. The soft focus is an assemble issue which can be easily fixed if you got the right tool. I think it's from noise reduction, my face looks just like when I add noise reduction in fcpx to my action 1 footage, annoying beauty mode imo.

So Adorable! A very proud Dadeo for sure! Oh yes, and the Action 4, I have the 3 and love it and I'm also loving these smaller cameras.

These small cameras are doing an outstanding job of capturing life, events, just running and gunning... I don't know, it's hard to deny that things are changing again. And with 10bit D-Log in the Actio 4? It's crazy. You realize that a really good SmartCamera is going to hit the market sooner than we realize and it's going to shake the industry. These Osmo Action cameras a really coming to the forefront and DJI also has the technology to go further. Question, did I not see that this Action 4 can also remove the stick as the Insta 360 cameras do?? That's another small camera I love!!

[@mea.c]

yes.. just like what they did with their wireless mic.. now pls give us that pocket 3

[@HellbellyUK]

With the low light mode only working in 30fps < I wonder if its actually shooting at 60fps and using the "spare" frames to do something like dark frame NR? Or maybe using a longer shutter speed, but then doing some computational photography witchcraft to stop the stabilisation go all wobbly?

[@DavidManningvlog]

I think it's just keeping the shutter higher and cranking the ISO to expose, which makes sense that it wouldn't do it in 60fps or else it would need to double the ISO to get the same exposure

[@RoamingDoctors]

After buying so many gears, i have realised that content is more important than gears.. gears are just gimmicks.. we should be happy with whatever we have n create...😢

I think the reason to buy new gear is when you're hitting a hurdle or roadblock in your content creation. Don't ever buy gear just to buy gear, but when you visualize something and want to create a specific shot, but you don't have the gear to do it, that's when it's time to upgrade!

[@joeykahng6219]

These are both great perspectives. I use my DJI action 2 for its light weight tiny stature for POV shots, and my Insta360 X3 for other creative shots. Looking into the Action 4 now because Desert heat in the summer for motorcycle riding shuts down my action 2 real quick.

[@MrPhilbautista]

Love the review and comparison but better doesn't mean good. Just saw Potato Jet's low light comparison in a bar and the video coming out of the Action 4 is still rough, as typical with all action cameras. It may be better in low light than others out there but, I'll just stick with the Sony A7S line if I want to shoot in low light and their RX100 line if I want something more compact. I'm not saying action cameras don't have their place cos I'd much rather have one when snorkelling or biking but, as far as low light is concerned, action cameras still aren't cutting it for me.

[@DavidManningvlog]

You're absolutely right Phil, tools are meant for what they're meant for. While this is probably the best low light action camera that there is, it's still not meant for extreme low light. Smaller sensors just can't pull in enough light for a solid exposure when it's that dark. You can see in his video that the iPhone was doing just as poorly. Always stoked to see improvements on these cameras, but I won't be selling off my A7Siii anytime soon👍

Great video like usual. Entertaining and informative. I have an off topic question for you. Sorry if this is the wrong platform to ask it in. I am living in a boat in the Caribbean on my trip of a lifetime. My planned go to camera for underwater, snorkeling and diving was going to be the Osmo action 1 generation. I am in a remote environment so replacement can be an issue. I am using a dive housing and can not stop it from fogging. I feel it’s too risky to use without the housing. I will be going home in a month. Is there a better option for underwater filming with an adventure camera. Has this problem been solved with the newer editions of the Osmo action. Any help would be appreciated

I just opened my action cam.... dummy me, I bought it not even knowing there were different/newer/bigger/badder models. Now I'm gnna have to go and look up deets for the OG, -VS- newer ones to see whats really what. As for you fogging issue, I saw where he said that the waterproof level was bettered on the 4 down to 60ft.

No wonder why since May, the action 3 was on backorder til late July. I knew something was up. Since I have been using my original action 1 for years, I wanted to get a new camera but was disappointed I was not able to get the Action 3 until after a big trip that I planned for July. I ended buying the Insta360 X3. But honestly I feel the new Action 4 should have been called the Action 3.5 or even 3.2 as I feel the improvements over the action 3 doesn't justify the name 4. Here is GoPro's chance now to catch up. But I doubt they will because they never fix usability issues. If the camera ain't reliable, it's not worth taking. Nothing is more frustrating than not knowing the shot you thought you captured wasn't captured until it's too late. Or things don't go as planned for what you wanted to capture. Anyways, cool you Dave seem to be a local San Diegan as well as I am. Would love to meet you. I live in Rancho B and work in Carlsbad California. Thanks for the great video. 😊

Interesting... Footage comparison doesn't look any different to me... at least not in a meaningful "wow that's better" kindof way. Nice review David! Thanks! *UPDATE* Okay, the low light is waaaaay better! Haha. Shoulda finished the vid first ;)

[@DavidManningvlog]

Hahhaa! The Osmo Action 3 was already looking pretty good, but you're exactly right, as soon as light starts getting limited, the Action 4 really starts to shine! I can't wait until one of these companies jumps to a 1" sensor in these cameras!

@@DavidManningvlogI think insta360 has it on their One RS 1 inch?

[@madeiraislander]

@@twinsizeadventure it does but it's much more expensive xD

[@twinsizeadventure]

@@madeiraislander I’m sure it is 😂

[@devinchambers7524]

I saw on an Amazon review that there only certain phones that are compatible to setting it up. Idk if there's a list somewhere for what phones can do it. I'd like to get one for my cousin for his birthday, but not if he can't even set it up.

Love your review style and energy. I think it’s time to sell my GoPro.

[@DavidManningvlog]

Thanks for watching! And as for that GoPro, it very well might be😬

[@BasenjiAdventures]

@@DavidManningvlog it’s an 8, so this would be a massive upgrade for me. Just need to be able to justify it because I never use my GoPro anyway. I shoot everything on my iPhone

[@Aarontravel]

surprised they bring one out so soon. , reliable camera nether the less

[@Vbloggers]

Is it useful for long videos ? Like full football game 1 hour continuous recording???

[@jamesecurtis1705]

Great video David. Cute ending with the kids.

[@photographerjonathan]

When will the action 4 be in stores ? and what is the newest best 360 camera ?

[@abhijeetkurup]

Hi Dave 👋… I started to follow you from your review of the original osmo action, have been using it ever since … is it time to upgrade?

[@DavidManningvlog]

100% Abhijeet! This thing is a massive leap from the original Osmo Action! I've loved that camera, but the image quality, stabilization, audio, pretty much every aspect is a big leap forward from the 1. And just moving to that new magnetic mounting system will be a game changer for you brother!

[@abhijeetkurup]

@@DavidManningvlog I’m getting it then 😎

[@Husky.Dude.]

Would you be able to test it mounted on a selfie stick at the back of a motorcycle? Please please please!

[@askerturk]

I have had 3x action 1. Now i have the action 2 and action 3. Alsof had the pocket 1 3 times. Now the pocket 2. Im waiting for pocket 3.

[@arnaudlacour]

Great product presentation. Love the outro!

[@TheSurfskidude]

The GoPro has the Max Lens Mod which keeps the horizon level for $99. Doesn’t the DJI have it built in ?

[@DavidManningvlog]

Action 4 and Hero 11 have it built in now👍

[@thomascahill1739]

David, great video, how do I set the Action 4 for zip line use, mounting gear?

[@deonchetty7414]

[@DariuszTech]
