GoPro Hero 11 Vs DJI Osmo Action 3, Which One Should You Get?

[@TySutherland]

With all photography comparison, in side by side you can tell a bit of difference. Outside of side by side comparison no one would ever say "don't use dji junk, you need gopro!". If you color corrected the you could easily switch back and forth and no one would notice. Thanks for the hard work Bobo! I think I'd go DJI!

[@jeffreydheere4737]

I don't need an 'action' cam, but I do like to shoot on the go or even in a fixed situation. I just want easy, convenient, inexpensive, and good quality. I have a GoPro Hero 4 Silver but haven't looked in to the camera world since. This is a good comparison. Thank you B.

[@PuffinPass]

5.3 is kind of a gimmick right now for the vast majority of users. I get that more data ultimately "should" make for a better end product using the same export settings of 4k data, but it just isn't enough of a difference to be a deciding factor right now. I do like that there is a quality competitor (finally) to the Gopro where it feels like you are getting a better pricing situation without taking a major loss in quality. This is long overdue. I think you did a good job on the side by side regardless of white balance issues, because you can still see the detail which in the end is what you are going for. Now we just need an action camera that can shoot in log color profiles.

[@advfreedom]

The difference with 5.3k is that you can shot at 8:7 factor and then crop to your liking. 16.9 or short type video and will retain the edges that you need.

[@FhargaZ]

Sony totally dropped the ball with that market, they had all the RD and camera experience to be top1.

[@anais4766]

They almost did once with sony action camera I think it's FDRX 3000? But yeah, sadly, they stopped production for many years. And worth to mention that was many years ago, I hear till today still some travel vlogers prefer that camera than new models out there, seems to have a cult status somewhat...

[@THESEGMENTPR]

Dude thank you. I was curious about that DJI camera. I couldn’t tell the difference in the clips. I loved the longer battery life and the charging station. Those make me like the DJI

[@ericbock1233]

I would sure like to hear about the editing software the Go Pro and the DJI use.

[@BlacqueJacqueShellacque_]

Still rocking the Hero 7 Black. Works fine for me. The GoPro does still look a tad bit better than the DJI in this video. For the price+video quality+extras the DJI wins IMO.

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

Both are good 🤘

[@anais4766]

Yeah, image quality still goPro, but DJI wins a great deal on battery life and reliability. Hear goPro freezes, overheats and turns itself off randomly pretty often? For adventure videos, a bit compromise in image quality is a lot better than often missed recording...

[@pedalwithus]

Seeing this a trend on YT ALOT....we too dumped GoPro's in favor of the DJI. Are they better? Meh, maybe a toss up, but the DJI just FREAKING WORKS.....we spend more time jacking around with GoPros, trying to get them to connect, to check aim, burns battery, then the lock ups, crap battery life. Just happier with DJI, plus to shoot for IG, just flip the camera on the mag mount...boom done.

[@deakon7984]

how is the DJI in low light compared to the GOPRO. I have hero 8+ and it is hard to get anything not digitized in low light

I've been closely following the progression of GoPro cameras from version 1 to 11, as well as the development of DJI Action cameras from version 1 to 3. It's impressive how rapidly DJI has caught up with their advancements. Based on their swift progress, I'm inclined to purchase the upcoming DJI Action 4 camera.

@BOBO Hi, please advise if this camera can be used to take selfies using DGI's 1.5 M stick.... does the DGIs stick has a button on it ? Thanks

[@bermchasin]

@3:00 you do not use 4k vs 5k for static non-zoomed shots. 5K shines when you are cropping the frame. Instead of ending up with low quality 720p looking footage, you can still get decent 1080 quality for example. I would never use 5K if I were not going to crop in post.

This is my first action camera purchase. I have tried the Akaso, GoPro and DJI brands. I have heard GoPro has issues with overheating, battery life, freezing screen and files not recording. I tested the Akaso and was not impressed. I finally decided to buy the DJI action3 adventure combo which came with 3 batteries, charging case, selfie stick, case and magnetic adapters. I will add some accessories soon, some includes the SmallRig cage, DJI mic, variety of adapters. Thank you BOBO for your video

The receiver connects directly to the DSLR camera and the audio is there! No syncing in post 🤘

[@IthacaDon]

Have you done a review of the dlsr? Another topic might be how you go about your filming and show what it takes to get your quality. I too find filming to be a pain. Changing out batteries is a hassle. Setting up the tripop, carrying all the gear etc.

[@weekendbikingwarrior360]

Agree, I left the stress of GP bricking and short battery life for this DJI. Reilaible, more intuitive interface. what's not to like. (owned GPs and other action cams for 12+ years prior), I'm not sponsored.

[@gr8tnowwhat]

Amazing what cameras have become. I remember my backpack days with the mini camcorder, pen cam and battery pack. Watching old videos is like watching grainy 7-11 security camera footage of a robbery.

[@PeterTvonK]

While action cam footage is sometimes interesting to watch, it is the other "unnamed" camera that gives these video the pro look. I mean the sections where Bobo is in focus and the background is slightly blurred for cinematic effect. These are not coming out of actions cams... but are much more pleasant to look at, compared to "everything in focus" image of action cam.

[@MakzFishin]

Lot of people must be jumping on the DJi wagon… I’ve been looking to snag one for summer and as soon as I’m ready to get one (particularly the Adventure Combo) and it is sold out everywhere!

I got the DJI a few months back, love it. The only issue is it over heats too easily guessing you didn't have that problem?

Hard to beat the GoPro for your typical action cam videos. I do enjoy the X3 (360) camera for more interesting angles and a lot more options in post.

Both struggled a bit at times in the dark forest, but to be expected with a small sensor. Both looked good! The OSMO likely wins for function, Gopro slightly on IQ at 5.3k, but does it really matter? It’s KZbin. Use whichever works best for you. Fun video!

[@DexterGoneWild]

I'm not sure about the Action 3, but the big difference between the Action 2 and the Gopro was Dynamic range. When it's bright and sunny out, the gopro would always look wayyyyy better than the DJI. But on cloudy days, the DJI looked almost just as good. And the Action 2 has a wider FOV than my Hero 9, which I absolutely love. Chin mount with the Action 2, on a cloudy day, is DREAMS! The gopro is just too heavy for the chin mount. And the Action 3 probably is as well.

[@xXadambXx]

A Little heavier with this magnetic clip (159g hero 11, 163g dji with clip)

[@Mtbdrumrunner]

DAMN this video is AWESOME, hands down (or up) BEST video on KZbin for me, no jokes dude. This is RIGHT up my alley, you nailed this. Throwing in white balance is huge, and audio, you KNOW what you are doing and how important that is, I just got the 11 black, and went riding blankets creek wednesday, the audio is trash, garbage, wind off stereo on with foam on but not a regular full foam cover. What I HATE about Gopro is the lack of legit info on internal mics, how many, where are they, etc. my last but first back on the bike video was the 7 black, audio stereo same foam setup and no wind just quality audio

Been thinking about camera for years this looks like a very valid alternative

[@Falasi4]

Very interesting - I've been using my Hero 8 for my ride videos but battery life, sound, bulging batteries, and some alarming camera temps make me think about what options are out there. I usually record 2.7k 60fps - I can't tell that from 4k. Maybe if I was cropping in or something....

[@zarko.stamenkovic]

DJI is good. Cheaper, more equipement, better battery... but, GoPro is superior in video/photo quality. I bet that you will continue to use GoPro for your videos, not DJI.

[@MTBTexasBikeRider]

I really like the dJI the quality looks awesome 👍🤔

[@lforrest14]

Did you notice any of the focusing issues that I have seen videos about recently?

[@EnglishCharmPaintedFurniture]

The DJI is my choice, but as it's sold out everywhere, I'll just wait for the Osmo 4 as I'm not willing to fight with the overheating and complete shut-downs that many GoPro's are plagued with. Hopefully, the Osmo Action 4 won't have the awful focussing issues that so many users are battling.

[@murchman0]

I am noticing this past week a lot of these videos, DJI must be doing a big marketing push. A big issue I see with each of them is the comparison between the GoPro 10 and not the GoPro 11 which is the latest. The 11 has some game changing features that really need to be compared against. having the 8x7 sensor and the ability to reframe that 8x7 into 16x9 or 9x16 is really great. Also the sound difference with the 11 is very impressive.

[@derkernsen]

yeah, bought mine last week. It overheats after 8 minutes of recording in 4k60 at 18 degrees Celsius ambient temp. These sponsored reviews are full of shit unfortunately. Edit: ​ @TheBigGoose Adventures I have to correct my comment. My camera overheats quickly, because I am in the EU. There is a regulation that forces DJI to turn the camera off after getting to 42 degrees Celsius. There is a workaround though, you place a specific crack file on the SD which makes it work. just google: "DJI Action 3 Crack File". If youve placed it on the SD you can now record as long as everyone else.

You know what sucks about both cameras? Dynamic range. In the woods, the sky is completely blown out and appears as a white background; zero clouds or blue sky visible. That's what these manufacturers need to fix. Other comments: I do prefer 60fps for action footage, not 24fps; too much detail lost. Out of everything though, that audio does make a massive difference. Everyone else is attaching dead cats to their GoPros and it still doesn't sound great. And battery life on GoPros suck; any they fricken lock up and overheat all the time. It shouldn't be this hard to make a better camera. Any I don't care if Bobo is doing product placement, he's got to make a living. If you don't like it, nobody is making you watch.
