As an 80+Y/O newbie, this vid was what I needed to make my INFORMED choice! Thank for this…your efforts are appreciated! Take care…

[@FlytPath]

Glad it was helpful! Happy Birthday 🎁

[@TouringCar.]

Great videos, well presented with lots of info! One thing I noticed is that the GoPro media mod eats the battery. Literally disappears before your eyes. Waste of money.

[@sunnyhaoshiyu9728]

Damn, your comment makes me happy! So wonderful to hear that someone of 80y learning thing from youtube! But now I am really curiouse about what a 80y/o want to do with an action camera? 🤔🤔

[@thehunter3386]

@@sunnyhaoshiyu9728 Basically, I'll use it to give a snapshot of life in rural Maine. 4wheelin' tour of the back woods, back road discoveries...cellar holes, cemeteries, old homes...speculation about each. To my mind the subject matter is endless. Couple that with access to Topo maps from 100 years ago and VOILA, places to go, stuff to see!! Thanks for your wonderful reply!

[@hans6304]

@@thehunter3386 that sounds like a great time! Which camera did you end up getting? Cheers

[@Danger_mouse]

I've owned my Action 3 for around the same time, and I would have to agree. The user experience is so much better than my last Gopro. The Gopro still works, but the excessive battery usage, the constant software freezes and the general clunky user interface are now just a thing of the past. Very happy with the DJI.

[@noodlessoul8356]

What about the focus?

[@Danger_mouse]

@@noodlessoul8356 What about the focus 🤷 Focus is the same as any other action cam.

[@m2kk]

Are you talking about software issues in the hero 11?🙏 PR a previous model?

[@noodlessoul8356]

@@Danger_mouse I'm thinking about giving it a try but yeah, focus issues were reported by a significant amount of customers, that's why I asked.

[@freeleymedia]

Great vid! I've been using gopro since the 3+ silver and the problems with the software are unacceptable imo. My friend has the hero 11, and it still freezes on him multiple times while in use forcing him to pull out the battery to reset it. I'm surprised the data hasn't corrupted at this point. Super glad to see that the action 3 is nearly everything that GoPro should be and for cheaper too. Might be time to upgrade!

[@xtencrew3964]

Ahhhhh! Really so GoPro is still unreliable as ever. The bigger image would help me but if the camera freezes what is the point. I am using multiple cameras and can not and should not have to babysit an action camera. :[

[@PlanetDaryl]

Another 3x huge huge benefits of the Action 3 which many reviewers don't mention often are fast charging, timestamp and using the app while recording. Of course these 3 are more for content creators or people who uses the camera the entire day. Great video as always btw... thanks for this!

[@luckydogconstruction]

Didn't know about the DJI mic being plug and play. Sealed the deal for me right there! Having always had GoPros my latest interaction with their customer service has me looking to switch.

[@sameaston1301]

With all of the complaints I hear from creators about the GoPro overheating and losing footage, I've always leaned towards DJI. This video was very helpful and makes me confident I've made the right choices in sticking with DJI. Thank you!

[@Khenori]

Action 3 was my first choice but because of the issues, bought the 11 and I love it! my first gopro and it never fails to amaze me with its quality. I love dji products and their drones, I use most of them.

[@godofeternals]

i too bought the 11 are there anything i should check for like manufacturing defects in the first 30 days so i dont get any issues later ??

[@Khenori]

@@godofeternals I don'really know much about the common defects but here are some of them, hope it helps. Dead Pixels: Dead pixels are a common issue with digital cameras, including GoPros. They are usually visible as small black or white dots on the camera's screen or in captured images. Lens Scratches: The lens on a GoPro camera is exposed, which can lead to scratches or damage. This can affect the quality of your footage, so it's important to protect the lens when using your camera. Battery Life: Depending on the model and settings, some GoPro cameras may have shorter battery life than expected. It's important to check the battery life before heading out for a shoot, and bring extra batteries or a portable charger if needed. Audio Quality: Some users have reported issues with the audio quality of their GoPro cameras, including muffled or distorted sound. This can be caused by wind noise or other factors, so it's important to test the audio before shooting important footage. Firmware Issues: Occasionally, GoPro cameras may have issues with firmware updates or connectivity to the GoPro app. It's important to keep your camera's firmware up-to-date and troubleshoot any connectivity issues with the app.

[@3DIYOriginal]

I had the same experience..😅😅 bought the DJI Osmo Action 3 (focus issue), they refund me and then bought the GoPro Hero 11 Black..Also my first action camera. And yes I love the camera, no problem with it. As for DJI, I'm their nr. 1 client..Most of my FPV gear is from DJI. Never had a single issue, until I bought the Osmo Action 3.

[@zakyanwar9485]

​@@3DIYOriginal Where did you bought that? I heard that the issue is only happen to the items that marketed in America and Europe. I'm about to buy it, here in Indonesia. And start to worry about that issue

[@3DIYOriginal]

@@zakyanwar9485 I'm from Valencia, Spain, but the camera has been sent from Europe, specifically from Norway. I don't recommend buying it, as it's quite expensive and you don't know which camera you'll get. Even though DJI assures you that there are no autofocus issues, you may still end up with a camera that has autofocus problems, like it happened to me. It's a hassle - you have to wait for it to be delivered, try it out, then wait to return it, get your money back, and then buy another camera. All of this took almost 2 months, when I urgently needed the camera for work. It messed up a lot of things for me. For less than 100 Euros more, you can get the GoPro Hero 11 Black and have no problems with it.

[@christosp.shallowspearfish7364]

The focus issue of action 3 is so intense! I cannot understand why is not number one topic here at comments!

[@akshayvijaykumar192]

I heard they fixed the issue on the new firmware update

[@ray.formosa]

this is a hardware issue that has been fixed. the older actions can be renewed or you just fix it yourself. it‘s pretty easy, there are tutorials on yt 👍

[@3DIYOriginal]

​@@akshayvijaykumar192 No fix. I buyed one recently..about 1 week or so, and it's horrible..No fix, not even with software updates. Nada.

This issue is a big deal to anyone that actually want to use the DJI day to day, I picked one up this week and immediately returned it. It’s garbage until they fix it.

[@TheAdventurerTales]

I also bought one last week and still it had the focus problem. I had to return it.

[@chykcha1]

Omg thank you, finally a comparison of user experience rather then listing of specs I can read myself from their website. Two thumbs up!

[@FlytPath]

Glad I could help!

[@pedalwithus]

as a struggling creator, I am so done with GoPro's. I lost of my GP9's and it was kind of a blessing. I spend so much battery life getting the camera to connect with my phone so I can properly aim the camera. I have an Insta360 One R. My thought is to upgrade to the new version and pick up the DJI Action3. Thanks for all your vids, super helpful.

[@ahhdoom]

I'm thinking of transitioning over as well. I have used Go Pro's 5, 8 and 10. All having really horrible connection issues via BT and Wi-Fi. I have not heard of a single bad thing about the connection with DJI (yet). The only thing I am seeing is that it has an auto focus issue that seems to have been resolved already possibly. What is your take / experience so far? I shoot a lot of festivals and with it being so packed with phones and speakers, it has made it such a difficult task for me to even get the Go Pro connected...

[@tecfarmer6514]

I bought the Osmo Action 3 and as you said the user experience is amazing.

[@FlytPath]

Yes!!!

[@sandeepmortal]

Did you face the focus issue?

[@vonpwnz0r]

Thank you for your review, overall it was very informative. I did think you spent too little time on image quality, it is a camera after all. When looking at the snowy footage it's a night and day difference in image quality if you watch the snow. One camera makes it look like actual snow with structure and the other is just a monochrome white mass.

[@dinofx35]

DJI's auto white balance is probably just optimized for seeing the person in the video rather than nuggets of ice. Either that or he wasn't using HDR mode?

[@shekhar1203]

i have the gopro hero 11 and is really good. the dji action 3 is also good, but for me, video quality comes first, hence i chose the gopro. in the future, i'll buy a dji action if it has an action camera with the better video quality

[@EbenRogers]

Quality is King. GoPro11 wins for me but I would like the additional features to be added to GoPro that DJI Action 3 has. I can’t use the Action 3 because the overall exposure/dynamic range just isn’t nearly as good as the GoPro11 in my opinion. Great Video! I am also a DJI fan. I have the DJI Mavic 3 Bundle and they make a great product over time of firmware updates. Unfortunately DJI is known to drop unready products to compete and fix them after.

[@adventure9606]

I have neither camera and that's why I am here checking out the reviews. in response to Eben Rogers , ALL companies put out products that are not ready or unready as you mentioned, GoPro, DJI, Apple, Sony, Canon, and the list can go on for days. If they waited until a product was perfect the competition would be years ahead of them. This is why a good company will offer free firmware updates to fix bugs as they are discovered.

[@gintarassamoska6409]

Nice comparison! Used Gopro Hero 8. And it started to bugg a lot etc. video recording but black screen, not charging while plugged, cant turn off. Often freezes, lost Honey moon videos due to freezing issues. Tried to update firmware, but not much changed. I am really upset by Go Pro for this, more megapixels, but lack of item. Only noticed that Photos from Go pro looks more sharper/ better quality. Now I am using DJI OA3, and adore it. Fast working, not overheating, easy mounting, no buggs, no freezes, super fast charging with Xioami charger, for me its amazing pocket camera.

[@bryanbrian1234]

Great user experience on a blurry camera, even in your video I could still see that the DJI was fuzzy, I'm waiting for the 4

[@UweRoclawski]

Loving my DJI Action 3 (11/2022). The front touch display, the magnetic mount and the direct plugin for USB-C mics (Rode Wireless Go II works) are the killing features for me. Great video man!

[@FlytPath]

Yes to all. These things re a big deal for users.

[@sandeepmortal]

Did you face the focus issue?

[@MainJet158]

Finally all the people that did reviews on these two cameras are starting to see that 5.3K is not the deciding factor when buying an action camera. I'm a big fan of the Action 3 because of it's ease of use and all the mounting and audio options that you nicely demonstrated. The colors straight out of camera are better on DJI as well. The video quality is also fantastic.

[@FlytPath]

Ease of use is a major factor

[@sandeepmortal]

Did you face the focus issue?

[@MainJet158]

No I did not. My videos are all motocross races that I competed in so none of it is up close to ones face. Even On my mountain bike videos that I didn't post I didn't have any focus issues on either of my Action 3 cameras.Once the action is moving it's nearly impossible to notice any focus differences between the 11 and the Action 3.

[@adskiygamer]

@@MainJet158 Yeah, I'm using dji on my offroad enduro rides and it's so much better experience than with gopro. Battery life, easy to use with magnetic system and the main thing is that it doesn't freeze and glitches while long captures. That was a nightmare with gopro but absolutely no problem with dji, it just keeps recording no matter what. No overheat and not freezing on winter rides. So, for anyone who's going to buy camera for motocross or enduro long records - dji is the choice.

[@haystack1]

I use action 3 for snowboarding, no one sees my face anyway. Action 3 has never failed me in cold, battery lasted extremely long, super durable. User experience is perfect

[@Tallguysrc]

A few things if you use the hindsight function the GoPro captures video faster at startup, also if you film on the GoPro and you hit the stop button the camera does not shut off as you said.

[@whatsnottohike]

Great comparison video! I'm glad that the DJI is giving Go Pro tough competition! I think the quality of footage is better with the go pro, but the usability of the DJI is very, very good. The settings being much easier to access, the magnetic attachment, not switching off when pressing stop record. So it's what you want more, the better quality or the better usability? Given the footage is not much better on the Go pro, I'm going with the DJI. Thanks for the video and given I'm also getting the DJI 3 pro drone, my videos should see some massive improvement. Thanks again. Subbed :-)

[@jesko2493]

I love my action 3. I bought it recently for a ski trip and it was amazing 😍. Best action camera for skiing because of the magnetic mount. Makes it so easyyyy. Oh and of course the battery life is amazing on the action 3 🤩and the fast charge is just what I needed.

I got cold feet when the focus issue popped up on the Action 3. I know this has been fixed for the most part by firmware and camera replacements, but I stuck with GoPro for now. Great long term comparison, these action camera’s have gotten so good over the last few years. Thanks for sharing.

[@FlytPath]

I agree, and I did mention that the gopro does have better close focus distance. I think DJI will need to do better for sure. For me and for what I do I still reach for the DJI because it's so easy to use.

[@definingslawek4731]

The focus issue cannot be fixed with firmware. Both gopro and dji action lenses are fixed focus, so all a firmware update can do is add even more ugly digital 'sharpening'

[@xpaul9875]

Its really hard to decide if those are the two options. DJI definitely has edge on mic, the ease of use ,and battery, while Gopro has noticeably the better camera.

[@alzibaba]

Fantastic comparison, thank you very much. The Action 3 being able to use timecode without having to buy an extra mod is yet another bonus for me. Did you try the Action 3 with any ND filters I wonder when in snow and sun? I wonder if that would help bring back some of the bright detail. On snow the GoPro seems to have a magenta tint, while the Action 3 is more blue, but I've seen some footage of the Action 3 with an ND which seems to neutralise the blue tint a fair bit, making it easier to cut with other camera footage.

[@quarantinedandgaming6085]

If you don't want the auto shutoff turn the camera on from the side first and then record. You have two options to choose from.

[@GarethZoeWildcamps]

You have to question the validity of someone who doesn't know how to work the thing they're reviewing 🤔

[@davidbarancyk565]

What I like about the Go Pro is that it’s got a recording duration feature where by one can record for 15 seconds or 30 seconds or even up to 5 minutes and then the camera stops recording. I usually record in 15 second intervals (duration) so it works well for me. I haven’t found that feature on other action cams.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Thanks for putting this out. I’ve been considering making the switch to the action 3. I’ve used GoPro since they came out with the Hero 3 and really do like the video quality of the 10 and 11. The new enduro battery is much better, but sounds like the action 3 still wins there. Guess I’ll need to just commit and pick one up and give it a try for my self

[@theobviouschicken]

Looking at the OSMO after using gp4 and GP7 ( the gp4 edges out the 7 in a lot of ways ). The one thing that the magnetic clips. Get enough of them and the angle of the mount wont change. So on a helmet cam you arent unscrewing the ears therefore changing the angle so when you change to a mount on the motorbike down low or to a chest rig or whatever the angle will always be the correct framing. Thank you for showing your use case that has helped a lot in my decision and thank you for the concise and no nonsense longer term review.

With gopro you can use the adapter from gopro for audio with the external mike. You dont need the mod

I love DJI and hate GoPro, BUT the Hero 11 is better than the OA3. The whole reason for a camera is to take images so even though the user interface on the Osmo action is a little bit better the image on the GP in all aspects is far superior to the DJI camera. The sad thing is DJI has the ability to put out something that rivals the go pro they’re just trying to be cheap and suck up money by releasing basically the same exact camera as the action 2.

[@FlytPath]

I agree the image is better. But imo user experience can sometimes make or break even using a camera. Ease of use is something people overlook. Think apple and android. Android might have better image, but android UX sucks. Appreciate your opinion and feedback. Both companies can learn.

[@blackmamba6938]

That comparison for turning on isn't fair. Yes, the Osmo does start and record almost instantly you've used it recently, but if you were to leave it sitting on the table for a long time and then press the button, it pretty much takes as long as the GoPro. I'm not sure why this is, but it does seem like the Osmo has a sleep and an actual off mode hidden into the camera.

[@TheHeartless917]

the perfect action cam would be the combination of the two. osmo action's features and go pro's video quality

[@handyhistorian]

Great review, thanks. The DJI seems to be a clear winner, except for the glaring focus issue, it looked really bad in the side by side comparison with the GoPro, even when you were walking along the street I could see more detail in the foliage 20-30+ ft. behind you than on your torso a few feet from the camera. I've heard that it's better tuned to landscapes than vlogging but from what I've seen it's borderline unusable to me. Mine comes in a few days so we'll see if it's tolerable. At least it makes you look younger! 😅

[@ZabsAntsTravels]

How did you find the DJI for vlogging in the end?

[@handyhistorian]

@@ZabsAntsTravels I've only done a few tests and I'm not in the environment I plan to do most of my recording in for another couple weeks. The 11/2022 model I have is definitely better than the 09/2022 model I returned (the latter was an open-box from Amazon and the former a new buy). From what I've seen so far I don't plan on returning it. It's a little softer on the face than I'd like but then again I'm now hyper attuned to this due to all the vids I've watched and things I've read. That aside, it's such an amazing little camera. I recently figured out that I can plug it directly into my iPad Pro through USB-C. The size and front facing screen makes it an even better grab-n-go camera than an iPhone.

[@NinjaMonkeyPrime]

Thanks so much for this review. I'm looking to buy my first action camera and these are the two that I narrowed it down to. It's really hard for me to go against all the ease of use benefits for the Action 3, but as someone who has no idea if they will need to swap mounts often, or change setting often, or face extreme conditions often, I find myself going back to the simple logic of what looks better. I do notice better image quality with the GoPro so I think it might be the wiser choice even knowing that the Action 3 will probably be easier to use and less prone to issues.

[@SeanOzz]

I still find it so strange on your battery testing. Like I was saying when we snowboarded. My enduro last a bit longer than my dji in cold snowboarding conditions by about 10%. I’ll have to go do a follow up test soon. Was awesome riding with ya. Hope the rest of your trip was awesome and you got to fly at Loveland pass.

very usefull / informative comparison! Helped me pick my next action cam :)

[@JTube571]

Been a GoPro user for a while, although I never upgraded to the newer models. I had a couple Hero 7's that I used frequently. Both of them had constant issues with overheating, freezing, or corrupting my footage. I used the record button all the time to start/end recording, but from time to time when I pressed the button to record the camera wouldn't turn on. I missed a lot of shots because of that. Typically if I held down the power button for 20-30 seconds the camera would turn on, but still annoying. I finally have had enough and replaced both of them with my first Action 3. After watching videos like this and reading other reviews, I made the purchase and it should arrive next week. Looking forward to giving it a go. Should pair nicely with the Mini 3 Pro drone I bought a couple months ago that I am very happy with!

Seriously considering the Action Cam because of your video! Love it all! That magnetic mount is 🔥!!!

[@EmeraldAudiovisual]

You want the Smallrig cage for the DJI Osmo Action 3. It'll still give you both vertical and horizontal, it has a cutout for the DJI Mic receiver (which doesn't work with the DJI cage) and it has a cold shoe. Makes the DJI Osmo Action 3 even better.

Hope you enjoyed it!

Hello, awesome video.. About the focus on DJI Osmo Action 3, your camera doesn't have focus issues. You have to see one with focus issues..it's horrible. All the pictures are blurry and the video isn't as sharp as yours. I had the Osmo 3, with focus issue, and I had to give it away. I bought the GoPro Hero 11 Black. It's awesome. No problem with it.

[@RedlineF80]

Thanks for this video. Looking to replace my Hero 8 as it failed on me twice at the race track this past weekend. The DJI was top of my list of possible replacements.

[@penis_tv]

Thank you! but could you post exactly the photos on these action cameras, I want to understand what they are in the photo

[@lelisortiz8557]

Great review! Thanks!

[@santoshjohn2696]

The best comparison ever. Thankyou

[@AmbientWalking]

Thanks for this!

[@bradyslauson4711]

This was a great review between both of these action cameras. I was wondering what tripod you were using on the Dji Osmo Action 3 at 4:55?

[@karlsma7245]

One thing I don't hear mentioned is that the magnetic mount isn't as secure. If you're doing water sports, you could easily lose your camera.

[@tomatdb52]

So the DJI won almost all subjects. Except for the most important - video quality... But if/when I shall upgrade from GoPro 10 I will for sure check DJI a lot. Thanks for the video! P.S. Whas it mainly in the snow that the video quality was "a lot" better?

[@jackskeletony7666]

I'm confusing because of changing position of each cams. Please put something like GoPro on the left, and DJI on the right side( in actual cam and sample footage as well).

[@MikeHudson-px2gc]

Notice the Action 3 had far less snow detail than the Hero 11. Was it just an over bright contrast setting?

[@BugBobsWildWorld]

Nice comparison. Thank you, Aldryn.

[@FlytPath]

Glad you liked it!

[@SuperEnforcer123]

Excellent comparison, thank you for this informative video for persons like myself who are still undecided on which platform to purchase

[@FlytPath]

Glad it was helpful!

[@AshyElsayid]

@flytPath If you hit record with the camera off, it will only remain on as long as its recording then power off. If you turn on the camera, then start and stop recording, the cam wont power off immediately.

[@FlytPath]

That’s correct. U either have an extra step to turn it on or extra to turn it off. GoPro just needs to copy djis delayed shut off with option to cancel.

[@biggooseadventures]

Great video 11:23 DJI looks better overall especially look how the GoPro makes your head look wider.

[@thesoundhounddogbehaviourt5173]

Great vid thanks!!!!!! I started off with GoPros however I bought the DJI about a year ago and love it. I agree the DJI is much more user friendly.. Was considering getting the GoPro 11 and this vid was just what I needed to make the choice to stick with DJI for now for my needs.

[@kurbonovakbarjon]

Thank you for you Content. I decided to buy DJI 👍

[@SkyTouch08]

Another great review! Keep up the good work.

[@FlytPath]

Thanks, will do!

[@bboylorettoEight08]

I started to feel go pro isn’t the top action cameras now there’s also the insta 360

[@hurtighansen1]

insta is no action cam, it's a lego cam. But if you have the time, insta is the best cam. Way better, and software is so nice.

[@wyssdaniel]

Great video. I have the accessories of Go pro and I don’t like magnets. Are they really stable enough if you fall down with your snowboard into the snow? And I like to be able to exchange the lense covers. These kept me at GoPro for now.

[@matejsucik3920]

loking forward to buy one, probably DJI , bud i think in gopro wids are a lot more details and les blure at snow or kids playground ?

[@DannyO3]

Thank you for this informative video. This will help me select the right action cam. Can the GoPro continue to record while charging?

[@ErzbergAdventures]

My hero 10 died after around 4hrs of footage. Gopro didn't want to touch it for warranty. So I reluctantly decided to try the DJI camera. Not new to DJI as i have one of their drones. The action 3 really blew me away after I got it out of the box and turned it on. It just feels better in every regard, higher build quality better layout and engineering.

[@sharrey]

Gonna buy DJI soon, had to watch 10+ reviews I'm confident now

[@flyingRich]

Thanks!

[@winoseti]

that dji external mic was a little buzzy It seemed to pick chest buzz. probably fixed by putting a small sheet of foam behind it or mount the mic on a differrent part of the body. seems the dji is slightly better. apple users will use go-pro and windows/linux users will use the dji.

[@bcuzicancuellar5478]

Great review! Just subscribed!

[@FlytPath]

Thanks for the sub!

[@Average1212]

I always feel like audio is such a red herring, if you want any decent audio you are going to record externally and sinc in post.

[@NJFPV]

You can "turn off" the automatic shutoff on all gopro's (and action). If you turn the camera on first using the power button rather than the record button, then start the recording once it is on, it will go back to "standby" (on, but no longer recording) once you click the record button again. If you use the recordfing button to turn on the camera, it will also turn off the camera when clicked again. If you don't use the record button, it will not function that way...

[@FlytPath]

Corrrct. It’s an extra step. A simple firmware update and they could make it work like dji and boom. Solved. But GoPro doesn’t like making things better. They just keep things the same.

[@NJFPV]

@@FlytPath that's the truth!

[@shamzzys9423]

I'm really torn between the two, action 3 wins on much better usability, battery and price while the go pro is much better at video and image quality. This is a very tough one😣

[@patrickechers]

The video quality on the GoPro 11 is not just "a little more detailed". There is an extreme amount of more detail in the snow and shadows - I'm actually surprised how "lowkey" you put that in as if it was nothing. I really want the Action 3 to outperform the GoPro as GoPro really needs a proper competitor, however, it's still not quite there. The video quality is of the utmost importance for me, and GoPro simply still is ahead by quite abit looking at your footage. I do however, really like DJI Action 3's mounting system. That quick release system is GREAT. I dread everytime I have to remount my GoPro on something new. I do hope that DJI will overtake as I'm a big fan of DJI products in general. I use their gimbals and drones with great joy.

[@FlytPath]

Good comments

[@manilamartin1001]

Im part of the anything but gopro group. I like insta 360 and and anything dji. Thanks for the video. I use my cams for biking and travelling

[@marcusespinoza2961]

First time watching your videos, love your normal ass talking style and wholesome footage. Great explainer and helped me add to cart the DJI. That mag release system is awesome.

[@tylerstravels0610]

Great long term video, we have just bought the DJI Action 3 Adventure kit for our youtube channel, looks like we have made a good decision by look of it 🙂 Now time to ditch the Sony camera and do some proper videos 🙂

[@joemaynard5551]

We’ve been looking for a new camera setup for a helmet chin mount for my son. He races hare scrambles and we’d like a camera solution that will last the entire 2 hour race without having to use an external battery pack…. Will either of these work for 2 hours in 1080 without an external battery? Thanks for the video…

[@uk05riderstravellershub10]

Hey fly path I seen your every single video about drone,camera and more gadgets and there is a lot of things to learn..... I like the insta 360×3 but can't afford it

[@YulianDavid]

Thanks for the Review.I have a question, at what distance is the Dji action 3 supposed to focus well? 🤔 I've had it for a few days and so far I haven't liked its quality of focus or its dynamic range.

[@tinyinsectstv1573]

Time will tell which one is best. Proud I chose the Osmo Action 3!

[@PeteMaverickMitchellF14]

As an average casual user of DJI Osmo Action 3, I really hope there is bluetooth controller available for it to take photos or video. Much easier than using phone control

[@killaimson]

Love this review. I know my next action buy now.🎉

[@kan-zee]

Wow..this was super helpful.. I am a beginner with action Camera's , never used one in my life. I dropped $712 cad (Amazon Canada) for the DJI Osmo Action 3 Adventure Combo. I need to learn about how to make videos , to record daily hikes, wildlife , birds and my cats adventures...lol I will need to figure out the basics for the settings, in videos. I was wondering if there is a Galaxy phone Blutooth or wifi app, that comes with the camera...where you can see what you recording on the Action 3 ??

[@FlytPath]

Not sure what the price difference is but the dji action 4 is available. I would pick up the 4 if you can.
