21 THINGS TO KNOW - DJI OSMO ACTION 3

[@brianharrisonlightscape360]

I love how you do the comparison between the three cameras without telling us which one is best. That's a great way to demonstrate the "fair and unbiased" aopproach to your channel. Another great video, thank you. I had no interest in buying another action camera, I have 3, but I watched because of the quality of your productions. I will now be purchasing the Action 3 and selling my Insta 360 one R now.

[@SCAerialsSteveCarpenter]

Wow, DJI is listening to there reviewers and customers. Aldryn, thank you for this outstanding review and hands on testing of the new Osmo3. DJI sure knocked it out of the park with all their new updates and bringing back some of the best things from their previous models. Well Done, Sir!

[@FlytPath]

Glad it was helpful

[@rehdogg]

I have a GoPro nine, so I was contemplating getting the GoPro 11. Ultimately, I decided on the Osmo action three which I should be getting pretty soon my reasoning, I simply heard too much about overheating, and Osmo action being more reliable. I was very tempted for the GoPro 11, because of the higher resolution output but if the camera overheats what use is the higher resolution?

[@MisterFuture1]

Nice review but can you send your Go Pro 9? I would really appreciate it please 🙏

[@AlvinoOrtilano]

i have no problem with the overheating, as long as you always rest the camera and it's battery. don't use 4k for very long straight hours. I do have experience overheating with OSMO ACTION 3, the video is not good. Now i realize that, i need to rest the camera after 1 hour. Also, make sure to choose the TURN OFF SCREEN, WHEN START RECORDING.

[@StefanAlexandruGeogloman]

This seems so good! Cheaper than GoPro, many many improvements across the board, seems like the perfect choice at least for people new to action cameras who don't need many of them, many accessories and so on. For vacations, vlogs, random videos in snow, rain and so on. Great!

[@mixflip]

I will buy the action 3 specifically for its super wide angle view and the horizon lock. I bought a hero 10 and wasn't happy. Returned it 3 days later because the over heating was horrible. I couldn't record even 5 minutes of my outside using it to film a few gun range videos. I went back to my osmo 1 and now I have a reason to upgrade.

[@bikefax8177]

Great feedback. I was considering Hero10. But will skip. Considering the Action3 now

[@DOCFWH]

😊

[@steveo1kinevo]

Definitely going to try out the Action 3. I film in airplanes and have a lot of trouble with the GoPros overheating and shutting off. Hopefully the Action 3 will be more reliable.

[@gigihanmandarin]

Never has one review reported it overheating. Battery runs out before it could overheat.

[@cyber8019]

Hero 11 still overheats judging from some reviews.

[@bikefax8177]

Just the opposite. Overheats then shuts down.

[@jamesecurtis1705]

So impressed with this updated version in the form of the Action 3.

[@timmyturner6996]

oohh.. seeing a lot of improvements from the Action 2! Could never underestimate the product development team of DJI

[@sinoy1130]

Finally !!!! What I wanted !!! Just missing field of depth. If they added that it will be a budget camera go pro killer! Always been a fan and using osmo action 1. Never upgraded to the 2 because I thought it sucked. Now its the best action camera ever !! Woohoo !!

[@rickkozarits8930]

Same , might invest in another camera now 👍

[@nokkieg1]

its probably the best action cam that will come out for years to come and the price... pfff totally agree here.

[@frogtechtips]

Yop you right I also think is camera I will buy

[@gabrielnorman7764]

DJI really took all the feedback by heart in creating the Action 3! It's good to be heard.

[@skrems]

Or they just looked at what GoPro was doing - from the door to the horizon steady etc.

[@Voltis-5]

@@skrems and GP looking at the front screen that dji started and I'm pretty sure GP will follow on their next GP with a front touchscreen, quick charge, ect. I mean who doesn't copy anybody nowadays right?

[@JorgeGonzalezC10]

I love how detailed this review is and the quick comparisons just to show some of the diferences! MY Action 3 is in the mail, can't wait! Also, great price, good quality, actually listening to customer feedback, no bs media mod, innovations to improve usability, it's just great

[@FlytPath]

Glad it was helpful!

[@namenamename390]

One thing that impresses me is the onboard audio. Obviously you will always get better audio with a separate mic setup, but for three tiny mics in a small waterproof box, it's surprisingly usable.

[@KowalscyTeam]

I'm using the DJI Osmo Action in caves and it works very well, I think this new version will work really well in extreme caves.

[@oliverutesch1504]

Best review so far on the whole youtube review bombing ! Thanks !

[@Rees3D]

Hi! What about the Focus issue all youtubers are talking about?

[@TheIrishMegaphone]

That was an excellent review. Many thanks. I think I’m sold on this one.

[@hugosantos3652]

What about the focus issue? Did You had it or not?

[@drivingthefrontier]

Probably, no, definitely one of the very best videos I have seen about Action 3 which is due to be delivered to me today!!!

[@Surferjo]

am still using the action 1,in fact sent it back as it messed up after a year they sent me a NEW action 1 love it......

[@EgorEremeev]

Thanks a lot for your work. Helped a lot

[@buloyoutdoors9562]

Ive got both GoPro 11 and Osmo Action 3, Loving GoPro videos

[@mervyoung5397]

Fantastic review. Looking at buying two for my motorbike, front and rear cameras. These look great. Can't really justify the extra cost of the Action 4's enhancements over the Action 3 for recording my riding trips.

[@FlytPath]

Action 3 would be great for that situation.

[@mervyoung5397]

@@FlytPath Yes, and I very rarely ride at night, so I don’t really need the low light enhancement feature of the Action 4.

[@YoSoyRaulTV]

HOLYYYY. I recently get the Action 2 and now I see this video and I want to get the Action 3

[@pua_ching]

FINALLY an updated version from the original Action 1!! I’m happy to see that they fixed the battery because twice I waterlogged my camera bc I thought the battery was in good and it wasn’t! Love the in depth video as always!

[@gigihanmandarin]

built in mic is surprisingly good in Action 3! Surprising! This is a WIN for DJI !!!

[@CathandMel]

Thanks for the great and informative review! Will definitely be getting the osmo action 3 for reliability and stability sake. although I think gopro has a better quality. DJI just works, and sometimes that's even better than quality because I will never lose content.

[@fendrou]

While most are waiting for the osmo action 5, I just bought the action 3 from DJI. What a great little camera at a super affordable price

[@pommiegranite464]

Excellent review. So informative and never boring. Thank you for your work.

[@RonaldBrown59]

Nice first look at the Action 3, it seems like a great little camera. Thanks for sharing.

[@JohnRocker340]

I'm for the action 3 mainly because it live streams to your phone while recording, something gopro stopped after the black 8.

[@freelasenegocioshomeoffice]

Great Review! I loved the sound effects of the clicks and connecting stuff together. Super nice touch! Where's the video you mentioned you were going to create comparing the solo camera version sold for $329 VS the $429 adventure pack? I'm unsure about which one to get as well.

[@BK42Cycles]

I dont see much of image improvements .. no 5k yet??? What about adding ND filters?

[@TUFFBASS]

Honestly just got my action 3 and it is the BEST

[@everydaylifewiththebensons285]

Aldryn, thanks for the great review. Like many others here, I had the original OSMO Action Cam and love it (and I am still using it ), then skipped on the Action 2 - the design just didn't work for my construction site helmet cam style of filming. But, after watching your comments, I just ordered the OSMO Action 3 through your link, so hopefully this will help you out. I went ahead and got the Adventure Combo to take advantage of the extra batteries and mounts. Thanks, Charlie

[@FlytPath]

The Action 3 is awesome and battery is insane.

[@Ofacnd]

I had officially decided to buy DJI and I saw this video at the last second while getting up from the computer. I just ordered osmo action 3. :))

[@klopvodomerka5193]

BIG THANKS FOR REWIEW OF QUICK START FUNCTION!!!!

[@H.pylori]

Was hoping you would have a video on the Osmo 3. Your videos are comprehensive and accurate and I can see that you spent a lot of time putting this together. Thanks. I assume from the video that the batteries from Osmo 1 do not fit into the Osmo 3. So that I will have to take three of each type of battery with me.

[@Stakeouttoo]

first watched your comaparison video Action 3 vs Go Pro 11.. .. looks like I'll be getting the Action 3 and staying with DJI and their Mini and Air 2 drones.. thanx much for the in-depth review.. always the best...

[@michaelpoczynek]

Very very good in-depth review, thanks. Just ordered one. 😀

[@FlytPath]

Have fun!

[@MrAlawadaa]

Good video, I love the dji , will dji have 1- Photos from Video 2-Star Trails 3- Vehicle Light Trails 4- Scheduled Capture. TimeLapse (important)

[@VideoAssociates]

Great audio on the OA3

[@RL-Visuals]

Action 3 looks like a winner on many fronts. I've still got my action 1 and loving it but it might be time to upgrade.

[@iron_sight_8727]

Gopro 11 overheating issue shuts off before gopro 10 with stock battery you would think with the enduro stock for 11 it would have did better than gopro 10 I'll be keeping gopro 10 & get osmo action 3

[@cyber8019]

At what time did it overheat for 4k 60 fps?

[@samm4192]

GoPro 11 out today as well, be interesting to see the comparison

[@AskIveSolar]

This is very tempting but a mic jack built in is really what I want to see in my next cam purchase. I even own the DJI Mic so I have that option but having stuff hanging off the side is just not my preference anymore.

[@amermeleitor]

Insta360 X3 and DJI Action3 are awesome!

[@lynsmith1096]

Good review Aldryn and another good product from DJI.

[@griponroadtrip]

Hi, As you must be aware there are lots of videos flying around regarding focus issue in DJI Osmo Action 3, what is your opinion about it? I am planning to buy one but after seeing and hearing so much about this issue, I would wait for yours and Jeven Dovey's comments. Thanks in advance if you could respond.

[@Bull1the1Great]

Apparently it's fixed with new firmwares ...

[@relaxationmusiccertified3684]

phenomenal review

[@dennisfrancisco213]

EXCELLENT review, Alden! You covered all the features if the Osmo Action 3 along with great comparisons with the competition I use a GoPro and an Action 2, but the Action 3 has the best features, especially the quick-changing mount. Thanks, you da Man!

[@NicolasLakoff]

Hello Aldryn, fantastic video. I'm about to open a watersports store and we chose the DJI Osmo Action 3 as our main action camera. I did notice that you didn't talk about the WaterProof case that is available from DJI. My core market will be divers and snorkelers and although the Osmo Action 3 is waterproof to 16 meters we will have to carry a WP case for divers. I'm hoping that you will review it and give as many pointers as possible. Thanks again for the great video.

[@FlytPath]

Thanks for support. Ya I don’t dive so it would be hard to test it.

[@CB-kd3dn]

I actually liked the modular design of the Action 2 but seeing the original design making a comeback looks very promising too!

[@DimmyV]

me too I like the acton 2 module system, its also half the weight which helps with FPV

[@jaygolden4218]

@@DimmyV The action 2 is an awesome set up but...I find it sucks when the battery dies on the camera module, the bottom module when you connect it, takes time to "charge" the top camera module. Ive been using the camera for biking so I never check the battery level until its dead :( the other thing too is when the camera memory is full it takes a while to send the files to the SD card. I love just using the camera...

[@DimmyV]

@@jaygolden4218 yeah the pros and cons. I’ve been using it mainly in water and the footage is impressive even the audio. It was on offer so can never have enough camera angles. I actually think it’s a good vlog camera. FOV is great and 2.7k 16:9 horizon steady makes it great no matter which way you hold it

[@jaygolden4218]

@@DimmyV LOL so youre talking about the 2??? or you have the 3 as well?

[@DariuszTech]

Wow. It's finally here 😄 Seems like a nice vlogging device on a budget 👍

[@robfeakins783]

This review was perfect. So helpful. Almost a tutorial. Thing I like about the action 3 the most is the magnetic connectors. I bought extras. So I can quickly unsnap from my helmet mount, to chest mount to handlebar mount. Question is there a mini case you recommend? Something small for the action 3, extra battery and no filters. Finally would recommend the bike package which adds the chest mount and handlebar. Last note disappointed polar pro discontinued their magnetic swap nd filters for the action 3.

[@MOTOUK1]

Now the best action camera out there 👍

[@frogtechtips]

Finally camera I waiting for :-)

[@bastardthread1317]

Very good video, you sold me on one. answered all my questions..

[@EdgardB]

Great Review.Seems like the same camera as the Action 2 just redesigned. I just got the Action 2 about 1 month ago. I don't use it in extreme conditions or for longer period of times. I think I'm going to stick with the Action 2 because I love its unique design

[@joaniechavez7698]

Great video for beginners, which I am! Thank you.

[@canisminorcacher]

Thanks for another great product review, Aldryn! Love that DJI brought back the design of the Osmo Action in the Action 3 - especially the QS! Can't wait to get my hands on one

[@007Tenalirama]

Nice work. I am using osmo action 1 and I am happy with result so action 3 looks more cool

[@peterskennerton5198]

Arre the updates software or a newer version of the camera? Software upgrade would be fantastic for those who got on board early, but I understand if it requires changing some of the hardware.

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

Cheers. Any idea about the low light performance? And does it have a linear (non fisheye) mode like the GoPro?

[@danielk7111]

In the overcast weather bike riding scene, the A3 looked better.

[@cyber8019]

Low light is better in Action 3 than Hero 11, watch Potato Jets video. That's because of bigger sensor than Hero 11.

[@Kroess]

It has the "Standard (Dewarp)" FOV option which is quite linear.

[@klrskir]

Great review! Looking forward to delivery and thank you.

[@fishycomics]

not being picky why is @7: when you are about and rotating the shutter is again in/out like the A1 its not locked. can you answer if you saw it fluctuating or was it just me. In the A1 we also have the same screen will shut down in 3 sec due to heat, thank you big time for going over the basics and showing that an USB c to 3.5mm cable works, that is a game changer for me

[@ghostlight1]

I go hiking and had been attempting to create video using my iPhone with a Deity mic and DJI gimbal, but it killed my phone battery and screen so I've been looking for an action cam solution. I'm put off by the Go Pro pricing and so started looking at the Akaso 8. However, clear audio is absolutely key for me and Akaso don't have a great track record in this area. Also, the Akaso 8 seems to be nonexistent. The Osmo Action 3 does everything I need. Thanks for a great review. I am now sold!

[@toddhildebrand]

Super awesome informative video Aldryn! You're killing me.....I just got my Insta360 a couple of days ago which I love! But.....can't change batteries or flash card. Looks like it's gonna be an additional DJI OSMO 3......of course I bought the DJI mini 3 pro during the summer.

Had an OG Mavic and used DJI's Go 4 forever! One day my App Store showed an update and from that point on, no connectivity whatsoever!😠 Got someone to get it for me from DJI and it works again and got a new update and it stopped working. With a considerable amount invested in the Mavic batteries and Goggles, I soured on DJI. Drone still grounded!!!!! I am very interested in the Action 3 but, see above! Should I invest in DJI and the Action 3? Don't want to have to do a whole bunch but enjoy the camera.

Superb video Aldryn, the Osmo 3 seems like a winner and a £309 price point its gonna sell a ton, my Insta360 OneR Twin Edition is dead after being in a few feet of water so I'm in the market for a new action camera and this might be it, I'll wait to see what GoPro does with the 11 but there's no way they come in at £309

[@tetragranula]

I thought Gopro will release a new 360 model as well??

[@cyber8019]

Hero 11 has better pic quality and higher resolution but it overheats and crashes like previous Gopro models. If you don't record for more than 30 mins, Gopro is fine, else take Action 3.
