DJI Osmo Action Camera- Watch Before You Buy!

[@TechGearTalk]

⭐️ Best price for the DJI Osmo Action: geni.us/e8XBl (affiliate) What's up everyone?! I hope this review of the DJI Osmo Action was helpful. Did you like it? I wasn’t sure I was going to like this camera but it’s a great value. The image quality is very good for an action camera and the stabilization is fantastic. Was there too much detail? Not enough? What did you like, and also, what did you not like? What would you like to see more of? Would love to know what you think, good or bad. I am grateful in advance 🙏

[@KaranBordoloiOfficial]

Woooo ☔✌️💖

[@TechGearTalk]

Thanks!

[@ThomasLindsay]

FYI... I have read this will be $30 off for Amazon Prime Days. Might be worth waiting a couple days if anyone is looking to pull the trigger on this purchase right now.

[@TechGearTalk]

Thanks Thomas!!

[@atmbodh]

Great review. thanks Tech Gear for keeping us update. I will be grateful if you give a detailed review on Canon G7X Mark III with special emphasis on live streaming

[@saintuk70]

It's 2021, a new DJI may be looming, however, I'm so glad I chose DJI over GoPro - has been "Rocksteady" and the firmware updates have kept this wee action cam up there.

[@OmryGoldman]

This channel delivers nothing short of the top tech reviews on KZbin. I practically know everything I need to know in order to make an informed decision. Loved the sequence at 09:22 where you exemplify the different ND filters. Simply ingenious. Reviewers usually apply the ND filter unto the lens to show the differences, but your way makes it so clear to understand. Great work Sagi, as usual. Loving this.

[@TechGearTalk]

Thank you so much brother! I'm glad that demo was helpful, I wasn't sure about it and appreciate the feedback. Thank you again for your continuing support!

[@CyberCatTechnologies]

Buy it nice or buy it twice.. well said.. You took the camera out to the real world and included the footage, props for that.. All the best mate..

[@Mohgrabiflusa]

I have this camera over a month now and it really good so far even the battery last longer than the gopro. No problems so far the only think annoying is the double click on the screen to switch to the front one

[@TechGearTalk]

Thank you for the first hand feedback. You can also switch by holding the QS button on the side if you prefer.

[@johntomik4632]

Holding down the switch button also enables the front screen.

[@richardburrows1610]

It's my first action camera, and I really enjoy it! Never leave home without it.

[@nmonye01]

I love your videos. You are so professional and get to the point. I love that you show how the settings work also. A true review. I really feel that I want to buy this as a slow mo b-roll and a 3rd camera.

[@exit61]

3.5 mm mic adapters available for connecting external mic though a separate mic input would be awesome.

[@MattHere_]

I think the camera is great and with accessories like cages, usb-c to microphone jack externals, and coldshoes it's a great camera and better than a lot of cameras at it's price

[@mtntrailsubie]

The front facing screen is a game changer imo

[@TechGearTalk]

It's super nice to have!

[@Twobarpsi]

Rocksteady and DJI's name are the main reason I bought this 👍

[@jimbradshaw3496]

I’ve watched many of your videos now. You do a great job. Not sure why you haven’t blown up like MKBHD. You will one day. Question regarding the DJI Osmo Action and Go Pro devices...can you zoom in and out when recording? I haven’t really seen that in any videos.

[@mehmetalexandru5027]

Great review! And you helped a lot in taking a final decision: just ordered the Action!

[@TechGearTalk]

Congrats!! I'm glad the video was helpful, let me know how it works out for you.

[@mehmetalexandru5027]

Tech Gear Talk sure! I would have a question if possible. What drone do you recommend for a quite moderate use? I mean, something that provides a decent photo/video but not too expensive as it will be rarely used. Thanks in advance!

[@TechGearTalk]

You can go with a mavic Air or even a Spark. See here: click.dji.com/APRoP2Lpzy20uaictt64?as=0001&pm=custom

[@mehmetalexandru5027]

Thanks a lot for the advice! I decided on a Mavic Air, will purchase it in September, so ai will be able to enjoy it in my next holiday. As about the Osmo Action, after 2 weeks use, I find it just great. The interface is very friendly and easy to use, front screen helps a lot and easy to mount as it’s compatible with the GoPro accessories. For me personally, Osmo Action is the best action camera, I like it more than the GoPro. But for general users taste, I would say that if it’s not better than the GoPro, than it’s at least the same good. Thank you for the great helpful reviews, looking forward for the next ones!

[@domiloniyobi3413]

Very useful 👍 I had go pro for years it frizzes... Thank you I needed this final review to get Osmo 👍😊✌️

[@TechGearTalk]

That's awesome to hear John, glad you love it! I'll keep working on these videos for sure!

[@ericjohnson1472]

I wish I had seen this review before I bought my GoPro 8 black, with having no diagram built in, ND filters are a must, but fitting them on the GoPro is a real pain. The round threaded lens on the Osmo and the front facing screen is a winner. I have tried every mode and positions trying to get steady video when walking to no avail, when walking with it mounted on a selfie stick I get up n down movement, and when I mount it on my chest pod I get side to side movement, so so don’t believe the b/s about these cameras being gimbal killers, as I am now researching which is the best gimbal for the my wrong choice of camera

[@Aaron-jh2pu]

I was going to buy a GoPro for my new channel but the man at jbhifi said to get this and I regret nothing thanks so much

[@tooyoungtobeold8756]

Good review, thank you. I am looking for a new small camera, this or Go Pro.

[@TechGearTalk]

Thanks! Depends on what you want. I like that the screen is integrated here - but with the new GPH8, you can but it as an accessory with the media kit.

[@yusriabbas8430]

I had the H7 Black and sold it, and yesterday I ordered the Osmo Action, but I was worrying whether it's an upgrade over the H7B or the opposite. I feel like I should have waited for the H8B, which will definitely be an upgrade, but I have already made my order. Your video, however, helped me feel less guilty for buying the Osmo Action after ditching the H7B, because you said that the EIS is better in the Osmo, and that the front display is good to have. However, I wish it is capable of maintaining the EIS while shooting HDR, and other reviewers complain about its low light performance as well as the digital sharpening of objects, the lack of external mic connectivity, and the lack of detail in highlights and shadows when comparing it to the H7B. I hope firmware updates solve some of these issues.

[@TechGearTalk]

Hi and thank you for the insight about your process. It's true, it's not the greatest in low-light and I'm curious to see what they do with new firmware updates. The H8 looks very interesting - can't wait to play around with it. Please let me know what you think of the Action when you get it

[@whskywolf]

Seen some comparison videos of the DJI Osmo vx GoPro Hero 9 the video was pretty good for what I wanted, but the sound quality was terrible, I just wonder how it be with an added external mic.

[@momentsPY]

Great review. Those running shots look incredibly steady, really rock-steady, but forgot to mention it does not have a GPS (from DJI ????) which I love using on my Hero 7 when traveling and the image delay on the monitors when using rocksteady makes the camera unusable for quick action. So far no way to get audio from an external microphone and internal audio sucks, so will just keep waiting for Hero 8 and will see if GoPro finally makes something that fill our wishlist.

[@TechGearTalk]

Appreciate the feedback and all the insight. I wonder if the 8 will have 2 screens...

[@nickadkins7765]

Now there's an attachment for a mic and I believe it simultaneously charges battery as well.

[@ModernDayTech]

Anothe amazing review Sagi. Those quick presets and front side screen is huge seller me too. I have the 7 black though so for now I’m sticking with it. It’s amazing what DJI is doing.

[@TechGearTalk]

Thanks Eric. I really like those features from a user experience standpoint. The screen would be enough to make me switch because I'm so bad at guessing where the camera should be pointed, but there are tons of people who are much better coordinated than me, lol. I promise a GoPro with a front facing screen is coming out next.

[@StankoBeronja]

picture quality far better?? i wouldnt be that sure

[@michalwiktorow2188]

@@StankoBeronja Check some reviews that add GDrive/ DropBox source footage - I did my research. And I can confirm that 'if' stabilisation (RockSteady) is turned off - 4K recording (raw) is as good as GP7. However I have seen jitter on the corners when it is on, and H.264 old codec that is only supported on DJI is lagging with data. The flip side of using h.264 is that due to this cpu of DJI does not hangs so much as GP7 G1 SoC does (read forums) trying to process h.265.

thank you for the video... just picked up an Osmo Action a the front screen is really what I was looking for... i currently shoot video's on my youtube channel with my GoPro Hero 5 Black... Question.... I took the OSMO out to shoot a video it was very bright outside and when we loaded the video my zip up jacket is a medium green but in the video it appears brown and I look yellowish... I'm I going to have to use a filter outside to correct this issue? I had not picked up these filters yet....

[@TechGearTalk]

You're very welcome - glad it was helpful. What you're describing sounds more like the wrong white balance than an exposure issue. What white balance option did you have selected?

Watching the various videos on You-Tube I like what I see being said on this product, it has a lot of versatility and it is well built. Now what is the limit of how big of a card it would accept? Can it go 256 gig? And if shooting at 1080 the battery would last longer? You mentioned you had it on the dash of your car, how long where you able to shoot a video before replacing the battery? All in all you gave a lot of information, thank you. Cheers.

How do you feel the camera hold up to interior lighting and being super stable compared to the osmo pocket? Thanks once again.

[@TechGearTalk]

Hi Trey - I no longer have the camera so I do not remember. I believe that it does - but I'm not positive. It's probably similar to the Pocket. You're giving up a 3-axis gimbal for digital stabilization. They will both struggle in low light, but a flat profile will help get better footage.

I race motocross and Garmin has excellent software for getting GPS data, speed, track layout, lap times. Garmin stopped making the Virb XE camera and the Virb ultra is crap.This looks like a great alternative but I hate wind noise. I normally put a mic inside my helmet so I can narrate and block most wind noise.I also would need some type of protective cover for the front view screen.

Is there a remote for the wrist available? There are many situations where neither direct control with the buttons, nor voice commands will work. And can you record video and timelapse photos at once? For example 2,7K video @ 60 fps, and taking a photo every 2 seconds at the same time? This is something I would love to have...

[@_-Lea_-]

@cameraflyer That's a pity and will probably prevent me from buying the DJI Osmo. Photos + Videos at the same time maybe still could be made possible with a firmware-update, but still I need a hardware remote (and not a smartphone app only).

[@TechGearTalk]

@Lea My guess is that DJI is testing out the market. The lack of an accessory like a remote is 100% going to be a deal breaker for some users and I can't imagine they won't want to capitalize on that segment. As far as shooting a timelapse and video at once - can you tell me when you would use that? I shoot time lapse for 2 reasons: 1. I am trying to use an exposure that is different than what I could get by just speeding up video. 2. I want to save space (vs shooting a 30 minute video that I have to speed up). What would be the use case for wanting a time lapse if you already have the full length video that you can speed up (always looking to learn about new concepts).

[@_-Lea_-]

@@TechGearTalk I would like to take photos and videos at once in situations, where I am moving fast (so can't do one after the other manually), and probably will only be there once and then never again. Without this option you have to decide wether you want to record the landscape as video or as photo. Very simple example: Skiing in a region / terrain, where you're only able to ski down once. (and I don't want to take just single frames out of a video, I need high resolution photos in case I want to have it printed on a huge canvas)

[@TechGearTalk]

Interesting. So would you be able to control exposure independently for photos and video?

But since I want to use it while moving fast, and without knowing when there's shadow and when there's sun, auto-exposure would be enough for me (also auto ISO, because a manual low ISO could result in too long exposure for movement). My GoPro Hero 5 already is able to record both at once, but only with reduced video-resolution and framerate. 2,7K video @ 60 fps already is too much for the Hero 5, but since the latest generations are able to record 4K @ 60 FPS, 2,7K video @ 60 fps and highres-photos every 2 seconds should be no problem. I have no idea what is possible with the Hero 7, I really would like to switch to another brand (if it's at least on par), I already had way too many bad experiences with GoPro within almost 10 years now.

Hi, great video! But how about the common complaint of water LEAK inside the camera, without an extra case??? Really in doubt! Thanks!

[@TechGearTalk]

That did not happen to me. But I only got the camera wet, didn’t go underwater

If you can't attach a microphone, is it possible to record your audio separately and then combine A/V in the editing phase? Or does it put you out of sync if you do this??? Thanks, Col (A Newbie ;))

[@TechGearTalk]

Hi. Yes, it's possible. Since I published this video, you are now able to attach a microphone (they released the adapter) so you should do that!

Thanks for the review. Bought one and it would be great to know what you would recommend for gadgets that I should have as a starter. I skateboard and intend to use this to record my progression etc and it includes bowl and pool riding which is high-speed and involves large areas. Not in first person mode but third person if that makes any sense. Much appreciated. Even better will check if you have an unboxing etc and setup. Your delivery of info is perfe t and clear and convincing.

[@TechGearTalk]

Let me see if I can put one together. At the very least you're going to want something like this: amzn.to/2KW1nxb so you can more easily handle it.

@@TechGearTalk awesome response. Shall add no doubt my young ones will want a go in the water with the cam so that is exactly what I need mate. Thanks again!

[@TechGearTalk]

You're very welcome. I've already dropped mine in the water and had it saved by a handle. Glad I could help.
