Thanks for this. Got my Action 4 back in Nov-2023 for Japan trip. Pretty new to it, but I realized post-prod most of the shots have these problems: Horizontal leveling imbalance, horrendous jittery night shots. Your video has now cemented my decision to get the Hohem iSteady 4 to pair with the action cam.

Hi Tamara I think with the gimbal it almost betters the pocket 3 in so many ways. Best channel of all. Bren in Dublin Ireland.

[@MyStepps]

Nice video again thank you, I sold my pocket 3 before I broke it and before I got it wet, otherwise it was very good and I miss it. I have the Action 4 now and after watching this video I have the hohem pro 4, but I'm not to sure if it is all that stable, also I have nd filters I will try when it gets sunny in the UK ?

[@flyinghorsedrone5376]

Another question about the gimbal. In your experience using this gimbal, does the isteady pro4 only stabilize the dji action camera, so the dji cannot be paired with the gimbal and you need to take pictures or start recording manually? thank you

[@CesarO746]

great video, quick question though, about the ND's you using i heard that on the action 3 works better than the action 4, on the action 4 they feel a little bit loose, whats your experience so far with them. Thank you.

Good thing! Is the record button working only with GoPro or with DJI Action 4 also?

[@goodtobegeek]

Thanks for another great video! I have an Osmo Action 4, and had been considering getting a Pocket 3, but this video made me wonder. After looking at Amazon reviews of this gimbal, they seemed a little mixed, but how are you getting on with it five months later please? It's my birthday soon, so would you recommend I think about asking for the Hohem, a different gimbal, or money towards the Pocket 3 please? From what I've seen, the Hohem doesn't eliminate all vibration, and one of the things I'd be wanting to do is run at 50fps, which of course means that the EIS wouldn't be contributing to the stability. Thanks very much for your help! John

[@datawrangler8565]

Do you happen to know how I can get a flat image with the camera? Even in standard De-warp, it warps the edges of the frame in a weird way. Is there a lens accessory I can switch to for that?

[@rayfer9930]

Thank you señorita ....excellent info ....easy and to the point ...cheeeerrrsss...!!!

[@GeraldGarcia]

Insightful, thanks. Do you turn off Rocksteady when on a gimbal? My guess is it might improve video quality even further as there is less processing done to the footage, if that makes sense.

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

I keep it on to with the gimbal that I use, as it helps with the micro jitters. It’ll depend what gimbal your using.

[@marc70.3]

Hoping that DJI gives us support for the A4 in Osmo Mobile 7. Add a magnetic mount. Why not?

[@lihermann]

Hey Tamara, why you didn’t make any video test about the action cam of Insta360? Cheers

[@GibsonChiew]

I had the hohem pro 2 which I used on my old gopro 7. and was surprised the OA4 fits it too.

[@layziealex]

Thanks for sharing Tamara. Just wondering what your camera settings for the Action 4 when you do use the gimbal? Is Rocksteady still on?

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

Yes I keep RockSteady on when using a small, lightweight gimbal like the Hohem iSteady Pro 4, or for a bigger gimbal like the Hohem MT-2, then I turn RockSteady off as the heavier gimbal eliminates micro jitters better than a smaller lightweight gimbal.

[@ecubuntu]

Thanks for the tip. I will buy the gimbal for my osm4

[@rodoutdoors]

Nice video. I could certainly use one in certain situations. I almost always use HorizonBalancing but set the minimum shutter to speed to 1/100 or 1/200 to try to avoid camera shake in low light. Combined with setting a ISO range, everything becomes much darker, but I'd rather have that than shaky footage with high ISO grain.

[@DigitalPhotoGuru]

I noticed you just slip on a filter. How do you do this? Is this an actual filter or a hack? Thanks. Great vids.

[@abidhhossainaditto-iy3yb]

WOULD Action 4 be compatible with my Osmo 6 mobile gimbal?

[@lovdrones]

Does the action 4 camera work with the falcon

[@ShaferHart]

Does recorded footage improve under low light conditions if a gimbal is used and you disable all electronic stabilization?

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

Yes, you’ll need a gimbal in low light, but keep EIS on if you’re using a smaller gimbal like the Hohem iSteady Pro 4. Otherwise, with something like the Hohem MT-2 you can switch EIS off.

[@RichLasVegas]

Hi Tamara, did you have to install the Action Osmo 4 upside on the Isteady Pro 4? I couldn't install it right side up and was just wondering if I was doing something wrong. Thx and keep the videos coming!

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

Hey 👋🏾 Nope, I had it the right way up.

[@flyinghorsedrone5376]

Great review! Do you know if the hohem isteady pro4 has object tracking? And do you know of any other differences between the pro4 and pro3 besides the camera attaching mechanism? Thank you!

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

Thanks! No tracking. Not sure about the Pro 3 as I never used it.

[@imboredDB]

The MT2 does.

[@cobsPOV]

Hey Tamara, do you know why my Action 4 has really bad focus when trying to capture things like menus up close? Is it a setting or something? I'm so stuck haha

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

The minimum focusing distance is 40cm so you need to make sure the object is at least 40cm away from the camera for it to be in focus.

[@pandero93]

I’m loving all of your videos. And your accent. ❤ I have a question, I want to use my DJI Osmo Action 4 for vlogging (Instagram reels, TikTok), which means I would shoot in vertical. Can this gimbal be used in vertical or is it restricted to horizontal only? Thank you!

@thanos1978- I’m glad you like the LUTs 😊 With stabilisation you can only use one at a time. But if you have a gimbal you shouldn’t need to use Horizon Balancing.

[@ZOMBiEmovieHD]

I'm holding out for the DJI Osmo Action 5, seeking a more substantial upgrade rather than the incremental improvements in the Action 4. I'm anticipating a significant upgrade, not just a minor update as seen in the transition from Action 3 to 4.

[@theoneparadise]

What more could you be looking for in an action camera?

[@AskIveSolar]

I think holding out for the 1 inch sensor is smart, hopefully they put it in the 5

[@ZOMBiEmovieHD]

@@theoneparadise The Osmo Action 4's 1/2.3" CMOS sensor is a bit outdated, affecting image quality. For the Osmo Action 5, DJI should consider upgrading to a 1/1.7", 1/1.3", or 1.28" CMOS sensor for higher resolution and improved low-light performance. The Action 4's stabilization is good but can be improved with a newer algorithm for smoother footage. Adding more creative shooting modes would enhance user options. Comparatively, the DJI Pocket 2's 1/1.7" CMOS sensor and wider f/1.8 aperture deliver superior low-light performance and higher resolution than the Osmo Action 4. As I said, I want to see a upgrade not a update.

[@9adriano21]

For me the most valuable reason to get a gimbal for the OA4 are Motionlapses, in particular Nightlapses; this little camera allows for an shutter of up to 30 seconds, which results in incredible shots, something the Pocket 3 can not do.

[@lynsmith1096]

Nice 1 Tamara

[@arunr5529]

Thank you very much for the helpful video. The only thing I would say is I’ve seen some reports from action 4,owners that either this Gimbal doesn’t work with the action 4 or if it does, it isn’t very reliable but it sounds like you haven’t had too many issues? The manufacturer also officially states it doesn't support the DJI. really confusing

I'm doubtful in buying a pocket 3 because how fragile and not weather proof it is. Is this setup better? People are saying that video quality is not really good with action 4.

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

Interesting. I think the video quality with the Action 4 is great.

[@SootheSound]

Im more confused now 😂. I thought the whole point of the Action 4 was for stabilisation, so buying a gimbal turns it in to a Pocket 3? Isn't it better, depending on needs, to just buy the Pocket 3?

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

It depends. The Pocket 3 isn’t weathersealed and it also doesn’t have as wide a field of view as the Action 4, and it also produces more of an out of focus background, which some people prefer but other people want the background fully in focus. Plus the gimbal with the Action 4 is more so for shooting in low light when the footage would otherwise be jittery because the stabilisation wouldn’t be as effective.

[@SootheSound]

@@TamaraGabrielUK Thank you for your detailed response. I'm looking for something more stabilised than my phone, for fiming travel videos. Exploring towns, museums, gardens. I like the idea of being able to get the camera wet, but it is not a driving reason for my needs. Wide field of view is good so viewers see more, but i recognise i could buy an adapter for Pocket 3 to improve this. I may not point it at myself to vlog, but rather point it at my companions/add commentary afterwards, so active face tracking on Pocket 3 is a nice to have, rather than a necessity. In your opinion and experience, if you could only by one... which would you recommend?

[@LawrenceArnell]

If they put the 1in sensor from the pocket 3 into the action 5 for about $400-450 they will have a real winner. The greatest negative of the action is the small sensor and the greatest negative of the pocket 3 is the durability. An action 5 or even a small point and shoot with the pocket 3 sensor would solve a lot of problems. Great color and image quality, durability and price. I think the 20mm lens would be great on a point and shoot version with a wide angle adapter.

[@AskIveSolar]

Absolutely agree boss!! I just ordered an action 4 for 300 because I can't see waiting for the 5 for another 8 months and the price is likely gonna be high like the P3. I'm coming from an OG osmo action so I thought 300 was a good look compared to the 400 dollar list price.

Or is the larger sensor better?

​@@nicholsonjay4724a 1" sensor is about 3 times bigger if I recall. Ah hmmmm. Sometimes it is the software inside a camera that can make a huge difference. Some people claim the Pocket 3 does superb compared to much bigger cameras I guess for this reason. Still... ... ... a 1" sensor should make a huge difference in some situations. I am not a pro so I am not up to date on how well these cameras do and under what circumstances. Generally a 1" is what people want if they have the money BUT... if not the Pocket 3 or the action camera in this video will work.
