[@User57655]

Seems that it comes down to whether you want a camera that’s good in day and fine at night (DJI) or excellent in day and terrible at night (GoPro)

[@Dcrainmaker]

A reasonable nutshell summary.

[@canyonblue737-8]

I hear you but I'd say it maybe a bit different... "a camera that's good in the day and pretty bad at night (DJI) or excellent in the day and terrible at night (GoPro)"

[@User57655]

@@canyonblue737-8 Yeah true, but have to be honest the iPhone 14 footage at the start was the benchmark and against that the DJI looks fine. For what it's worth, I think the iPhone looks pretty bad actually considering how much Apple touts the camera as 'Pro'.

[@THE_HMRC]

👍 Boo Yah!

[@goringo_]

Want camera who does best stabilization during mountain bike trail ride in shades of the forest during the day. Those jitters when you run in the forest are not nice..

[@RayMak]

This is really sad results for GoPro

[@ChmieluGD]

reality check

[@steelorse]

After doing many tests, the provided GoPro settings are not good. The 5.3K, strangely, makes the image less appealing and introduces more grain; 4K is the top choice. Then in the settings, you should set the maximum ISO to 400 and MOST IMPORTANTLY, for color management, never leave it on "natural" but always choose "flat". It's amazing how much more detail you get, better shadows, and an overall better image compared to "natural", which generally ruins the image, regardless of conditions but ESPECIALLY in the dark. It's a game changer! In short, the best settings for a GoPro are 4K30, 400 ISO MAX, Flat colors, and stabilization at the minimum (not turned off, but at the lowest setting). This way, you save on battery and avoid motion blur in low light conditions! With these settings, the GoPro becomes an entirely different camera.

[@marcoroams]

Very interested to try this my friend 😎

[@PhilipBlank]

I may have to give this a try! Thanks for digging and sharing a tip that seems like a potential quality boost! My footage inside a car on a Hero 10 just looks so rough relative.

[@KentRoads]

a camera that can only handle 400 ISO LOL

[@RayMak]

DJI Looks very beautiful at night

[@wezvandez]

beautifully noisy and low detailed.

[@DoLNet142]

I wanted to see what your bike looks like😂 Mystery solved! And thanks for the comparison. My preference would be the Action 4 over the Hero 12. Ordered!

[@tictac9074]

I have neither a DJI or GoPro yet, and and very confused about which one to get!

[@importon]

They both suck in low light honestly

[@vadimnechaev]

Could you please try reducing on Action 4 by -0.6 or -1? It looks like it's overbrithen by default and can be much interesting tuned.

[@dannytaylor2676]

I thought the same, EV was slightly too high. There was more detail in the sky on the Gopro shot than the DJI.

[@rudydoyle]

I think he overexposed the action 4 on purpose, this guy is a gopro fanaboy

[@isaacstone7899]

Both are good, GoPro 12 is awesome details in sunset. DJI 4 good at low light, but over exposure in light spots and sunset sky.

[@rick137.pickle]

Needs a filter for the magic hour

[@Havetsvarg]

That problem goes away if you either 1) change the auto exposure EV to -0.3 or -0.7 Or 2) change to manual and flat profile. Granted, it will degrade the user experience as it is no longer a set-and-forget action camera. But it becomes a way better camera in terms of picture quality

[@andyballard1883]

Once again your providing just the best most thorough testing. It's really interesting though what you said at the end with regard to a phone will perform better in low light that either of the action cameras because right at the start the iPhone footage was by far the worst of the 3 🤔. For me the Action 4 was by far the best and I'm just hoping the upcoming pocket 3 performed as well as this as that is the device I'm really waiting for... keep up the great work 👍

[@hoangpro102]

Perhaps This is the most realistic video I was looking for, thanks for leaving it original

[@JohnRocker340]

GoPro during the day, Action Cam at night is the perfect setup. Just picked up both.

[@xxsilver_gamingxx389]

I can only get 1, which one should I get 🤔

[@FrankLin-z1q]

Just as always, Gopro is terrible when it comes to low light capability!

[@pinnysun8442]

Gopro is over sharpen, its especially clear when you look at the trees and silluate, overall dji action 4 wins

[@RonaldBrown59]

This was a very interesting test, and eye opening to see how much better the Action 4 was in low-light. Great video comparison, and thanks for sharing.

[@vsstdtbs3705]

Action 4 is much better. I heard some companies that advertise their cameras, do shots in full frame, falsely implying it is the action camera doing the shots. Wonder if the GoPro website is like that. It is why independent reviews like this are so important.

[@lamberdt]

Imho the size matters. And the point where gopro was losing is the moment when not enough light could get to sensor. In daytime, whoever would like totake maximum of camera, would use gp log od action 4 d log for colouring and manage colours in post production. So dji is able to be colored as gopro but night time gopro is completly unusable and it's not just bosting highlights. What's more action 4 records gyro data so stabilization can be done also in post production. As for me - diving in caves and caving there is no other option than dji. I've been waiting for this comparison but I already purchased dji action 4 diving housing because Gopro just cannot manage and do anyghing with this sensor. Thanks and keep it going !

[@voluntarypropaganda]

“I already bought the DJI action 4 dive housing” didnt DC mention something about not fanboying in the comments?

[@lamberdt]

@@voluntarypropaganda yeah but You know this is just from my research I had done already to find which camera will be the best match for my needs. And it was dji. Nothing fanboy about choosing oa4 for cave diving and caving. This Ray comparison just repeated what I already knew or suspected.

[@moonstriker7350]

DJi has far better stabilization, but it severely overexposes causing burned out skies.

[@lamberdt]

@@moonstriker7350 yes. It seems that for the sky and bright places the gopro 12 wins with sharpness of it.

[@EverythingIsPhotogenic]

Hit the like button for the algorithm, people! Ray has put a lot of work into showing us all a very important comparison in low light: GoPro: Crap DJI: Brighter crap iPhone: Even brighter crap Fanboys discuss! 😂 I'll fangirl for Ray, he's the real winner here 😉

[@Dcrainmaker]

Hahahaha, thanks!

[@stevemuzak8526]

Let's be honest: All of them are not good at low light.

[@Dcrainmaker]

Yup…something I cover in the video. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤣

[@SebMercier]

Indeed. But let me get my GoPro Hero 3+ to compare 😂 they will look amazing in comparison, I bet. At some point, small sensors can’t compete with a full frame sensor… but go put a full frame sensor camera on your helmet, you better have the neck of a F1 driver 😂 More seriously, GoPro seems to underexpose to protect highlights (you can’t recover blown highlights) at the expense of noise when you need to recover shadows. It would be interesting to see the end result after editing to get the same brightness and colors, here it feels a bit like we compare raw files, not the end result.

[@stevemuzak8526]

Have you ever tried topaz denoise AI and apply it to your low light footage? @@Dcrainmaker

[@Adventure-MTB]

@@Dcrainmakerfor the DJI. What iso for the night scene 12000+ ?

[@cleggycyclist]

Is this straight out of the box exposure settings? The DJI is at least one stop brighter in exposure, it's like DJI made the decision that highlights do not matter lets blow them out to show more in the shadows. GoPro has taken the opposite approach conserving more detail in the highlights and allowing you to pull the exposure up in post if you want to. On the shaded, daylight, forest trail the GoPro footage was so much better.

[@Dcrainmaker]

Straight out of box/default settings.

[@norgtube]

it would be interesting to see how much info there's left in those gopro shadows because it's not blowing out highlights like the DJI but it's also a full stop underexposed.

[@andrewlcraft1]

Sunrise to sunset = GoPro. In true low light, the DJI is obviously way better. But really, thats when its time to put away the action cam, and break out a real camera.

[@tomdchi12]

Great point about deciding what your priorities are. I don’t expect an action camera to do much in low light. The DJI is obviously better in real low light, but in moderate light, the GoPro is doing a better job of protecting highlights while the DJI cam is clipping them. Also, this is reminding me of just how long it’s been since I’ve been to Amsterdam, Utrecht and the Netherlands in general! Thanks for sharing that beautiful evening bike ride!

[@Dcrainmaker]

Thanks!

[@Havetsvarg]

Easily fixed with adjusting the EV to -0.3 or even to -0.7. out of the box the auto exposure seems to prioritise differently thus blowing out the highlights. While the H12 footage often times looks a touch (too) dark as a trade off. So either controlling EV or actually changing to manual and flat profiles changes the quality of the action 4 by a lot. Granted, then it becomes more of a hassle if you just want an action cam that you operate in a set-and-go fashion.

[@ExploringAlabama]

For those of us who simply turn them on and hope for the best, I thank you. I’m sticking with my GoPro. Great review

[@honestnerd]

I wonder why your action 4 looks so terrible/soft. Just saw like 10 other reviews and the gopro12 almost always looked softer than the action 4, but your video is different. Any sharpness settings that have been altered in either of them? Just curious to know before purchasing one or another. Thanks!

[@savrenx8256]

I want buy action camera and this video helped me alot. Seems I like DJI more than gopro. Less editing and that DJI video directly useable without brightness or shadow correction. GoPro very good for cinematic color though.

[@The__Watchmen__]

And this is the reason I bought a full frame sensor Panasonic S5ii, low light video is an achilles heel for many video cameras. The GoPro clearly has much better, natural colours, but the DJi is employing software trickery and over-compensating with high iso. The video at 7:34 clearly shows this - you can barely see your shoe in the DJI, but the GoPro handles it well.

[@njkrohde]

Both are excellent cameras, Dji better at night (I didn't understand why the GoPro moved so much if my Hero10 doesn't move like that at night) in Mexico GoPro is cheaper than Osmo, with the addition that I can have several enduro batteries ( generic) on the other hand, in the Osmo the batteries must be original (70-90€), the compatibility of low-cost accessories of the GoPro and the plus of the wireless audio I think gives points in favor of Gopro. matter of taste. They are very similar cameras, each with its unique qualities. In the end it is better to make good content with a lower quality camera than bad content with an excellent quality camera. Greetings, I like your channel. I'm your fan

[@SirCrashaLot]

DJI always looks bit overexposed in the day, but so much better in low light, tough choice now. I guess both?

[@ricarmig]

The DJI makes the same error as on my pocket 2: on day light it's 2/3 higher exposure as it should! DC rainmaker, can you compare both but the dji exposure -0,7 to match thegopro

[@ab.jalloh4165]

Overall DJI is the winner

[@antonv.]

GoPro is super nice during the day but not at night.

[@ricardolourizela5961]

If you use the correct settings for low light shooting - 24fps with 1/48th shutter speed (180 degree rule), their respective log / flat modes and then you correctly color graded the footage the results would be significantly better. If you really asked both brands what the best settings for low light were and if they really answered 30fps non-log/flat modes their representatives either have no clue what they're talking about or they were fooking with you.

[@Dcrainmaker]

I always find comments like this funny, because it’s someone who thinks they’re smart, but actually doesn’t know what they’re talking about. If you did, then you’d know that you can’t actually enable LOG mode in conjunction with DJI’s low light mode. If you actually wanted more flexibility to grade, you’d also increase bit-depth, but even GoPro’s top engineer clearly stated in a conference call that doing so isn’t going to change the light properties of the camera in low light conditions meaningfully. Likewise, color grading any footage will make it appear better, but it’s still crap in, crap out. All you’re effectively doing is brightening an image at that point, which can help, but isn’t any different than cranking the ISO and watching either stabilization reduce or noise increase.

[@ricardolourizela5961]

​​​@@DcrainmakerI always find comments like this funny, because it's always a clueless KZbinr arguing with a professional filmmaker and thinking they know better. It makes for some funny reading, but it gets old. Keeping this simple, so you can follow, the way to improve low light IQ is to always record in as low an fps as you possibly can. If you have the option of recording at 24fps, you do it. You're recording at 30fps, so you're already doing it wrong. If your focus is to maximize IQ, you do not record in a preset low light mode - the only thing that does is to apply an aggressive in-camera noise reduction algorithm, which obviously destroys the footage. The solution is to record in a mode that preserves as much detail as possible (log or flat), with NR as low as possible, and then apply a proper NR algorithm in Resolve Studio. The preset low light mode is there to make things faster, not better - if your focus is IQ, that is never the way to go. Finally, the reason you always color grade (from a log / flat profile) is to avoid the unnaturally warm and oversaturated colors these action cameras usually go for - 80% of your footage looks awful. Again, all from a professional filmmaker point of view - for an amateur YT video this is probably good enough.

[@Dcrainmaker]

@@ricardolourizela5961 "If your focus is to maximize IQ, you do not record in a preset low light mode - the only thing that does is to apply an aggressive in-camera noise reduction algorithm, which obviously destroys the footage." - The problem is, that's factually untrue. Go try it. Don't record in the low-light mode and see how bad it is. Because it's not just about light, it's about stabilization. That's the thing you're missing in this entire picture. On an action camera there are far higher levels of stabilization algorithms occurring, and those algorithms account for the exact movement of the camera. When you go to DLOG mod on the Action 4, those algorithms are significantly reduced. So sure, you get a flatter picture that you can pretend to pull more light out of, but you're left with mush for an image. Everything you said is perfectly fine for a normal camera, but not an action camera, and frankly, not most cameras in 2023 with far greater degrees of computational photography happening.

[@MichelePonte]

Does the DJI sound better? To me is more loud and clear

[@RS.Outdoors]

Little tip. If the weather is good is to remove the glass lens cover and use the plastic shroud version in the kit instead. Note that camera is no longer weatherproof if you do. It is supposed to help in low light but I have also found it stops the wild lens flare you can get on bright sunny days as well.

[@roninr8199]

Better to buy cheap glass protector lens cap for night

[@Cake...]

Rainmaker's comparison videos are amongst the best. Quality stuff.

[@Dcrainmaker]

Thanks!

[@vivienrajz798]

Interesting. GoPro has a better balance between shadows and highlights in expense of night capability, while sems DJI is overexposing to gain details, but burn our highlights. From color balance GoPro wins, but for night details DJI. Wiuld be courious about single images...

[@Flyer2303]

Hi, have you already tried GP-Log? I have seen two videos which were quite unhappy with its performance especially noise in the shadows. Maybe you can also look into it? One of those videos states it would be fixable with gopro labs by setting ev to 0 instead of -2.0 (what the default and locked value of GP-Log apparently is).

[@heymrguitarman7637]

Kinda think if you're filming yourself at night then you'd definitely want a light on top and if you're filming away from yourself then you'd want a non action camera. I'll be buying the GoPro as day time image wise it's much better, but the GoPro is definitely much worse in this test

[@californication2000]

In your original videos without compression.. do you notice action 4 blurs more the each frame than the gp? 2:24 (due to stabilization)

[@MatthewTaylor3]

Please do a quick video on the Action 4 vs. an iPhone or any suitable phone like a Samsung Note or S series

[@lucky_mvmt]

Hi everyone ! I am planning to buy a action camera and now getting confused between GoPro 12 and dji action 4. From what i could see here in comparison gopro is much better and sharp in daytime but dji is very good in comparison to GoPro at night . As for me i spend most of my time in day time doing stuffs so i personally find GoPro to go with now as i have that budget only. Please share your reviews.

[@Bokooda]

DJI's overexposure during daylight can be pulled back by tweaking the default EV/shutter speed settings down and then set to 'normal' for twilight into night time. There's nothing on the GoPro to give you that extra 45mins - hour of filming before you have to get your phone out. (Up to a point), I'd rather have some jitters in the shot than not being able to see peoples faces. Looks like too much fall off in the overall image on the GoPro when it starts to get dark. These are amazing cameras, but it will be a few more years before I can take only one camera out for my bikepacking travel videos. Thanks taking the time to show the average user what happens to both these cameras when evening falls. 👍

[@kristofeight9668]

Both cameras are terrible at night, and I wouldn't use them at all, in addition action 4 has unacceptable stabilisation at night, jittering all the way. Overall at the day I prefer gopro12, at least sky has very nice exposure and sun sets looks better. Image is a bit darker than action 4 but shadows can be pulled up

[@michaelpolakowski7301]

This might be straying outside the scope of your comparison, but I'd be interested to see what can be done with each camera's video in post-production. Underexposed imagery often contains details that aren't visible until enhancement with brightness/contrast/gamma adjustments, etc., but once the sensor is saturated, those details are gone.

[@Dcrainmaker]

Yeah, I wanted to avoid that rabbit hole. For example, GoPro has LOG format, and DJI has D-LOG, but DJI doesn't permit D-LOG with Low Light Mode. So then you're back to an Apples to Oranges comparison, which only muddies the water even more.

[@ChrisTreleaven]

Great comparison! 👍🏼 Personally I think the GoPro looks better during the day, had nice vivid colours. Also was better at showing fine details... But as soon as the sun went down, it was obvious DJI was much better in low light situations. Also the image stabilisation looked better on the DJI. I guess what one to buy comes down to what you’re doing with it. Both seem great, but choose wisely. 📷

[@dadlife8289]

Those colors are artificial. GoPro makes my local trails appear to have orange dirt, but in real life it's not orange at all

[@tufftuffrugz5330]

I like gopro colors more in the low light. Also I think your default settings werent correct. DJI should have just a RockSteady without low light option on.

[@SkoraMan]

At the end you said, that your phone just blew out action cameras. At what point it was much better than acton 4? Because for me it's kind of similar looks of iphone 14 pro and action 4.

[@TheTranquilWalker]

What was your iso/shutter settings on?

[@YourTioTravels]

Are they ever going to make an action camera built especially for low light. My phone currently gets way better picture in low lighting.

[@walkingmanvideo9455]

Still garbage low light stability from gopro. Lets wait for the, lockup, freezing complaints from people including the world renowned sd card write errors that they all have had over the years. gopro should have shutdown business when DJI introduced their action camera. Thanks for taking the time to test.

[@ruhollahmotaharinejad9859]

@dc rainmaker In my life there is no action in lowlights at the moment, if there would be I’d rather not record it by any camera 😂😂😂😂

[@Dcrainmaker]

🤣🤣

[@TDCIYB77]

Panasonic should do a M43 action cam, now that they have PDAF. Maybe even work with DJI, as they are both in the L-Mount Alliance.. That would be a killer!

[@scstudios8]

I think this is all down to the low light option. Gopro is basically 1 stop too dark at night. If gopro has a way to set it to some low light option, that may be the difference. It looks like dji has that low light option, which I assume all it does is bump the ev up 1 stop when light levels drop to a certain point. It really looks like that works well.

[@cleggycyclist]

GoPro give you the option in the settings to change how it exposes. So give it +1 at night to let more light in (and grain/noise) or give it -1 in bright sun to darken the image.

[@Tallguysrc]

Something not talked about much when you're shooting at night what you're seeing vrs what the camera records, think of it like you film a concert and the video looks like the lights are on, to me that's not a benefit.

[@kitttt2002]

Kinda just give us another reason to ditch gopro

[@skypowergb3842]

i wonder what some photos of milky way look like 30s exposure , max iso. while dji may capture more light it may not be that high quality

[@Dcrainmaker]

🤣

[@KSAEXPO25]

DJI color is totaly washout ! GO PRO - IOS DJI / INSTA360 / etc - ANDROID PERIOD!

[@ironworkscrawley]

Theoretically the action 4 should win hands down in a low light test because of physicals. both as far as i can tell have the same focal ratio or F/ stop, so no advantage there. The A4 has a larger sensor so collects more light, but the GP12 has a higher pixel count which is actually worse because What is important is the actual individual pixel size. less pixels in a larger sensor means more light collection, simply because the pixels are larger..... But perhaps the last bit that never gets mentioned is quantum efficiency, something anyone that does astro photography will know about. In short each new generation of sensor gets more efficient at detecting photons. This might not be in play here, but if we assume gp12 is the same sensor as the gp11, its a 2 year old sensor, if the sensor in the A4 is a new sensor then it is one generation advanced so better at detecting light. not sure that in an action cam it would make a vast difference but in astro cams, it can be the difference between a tiny faint star not showing in an image and it showing

[@KentRoads]

WTF is stabilation?

[@christiannikodemus]

I find the stabilization for the GoPro is better but the brightness is much better on the DJI, also the DJI has less of a warp, I'm not sure if that's because the GoPro uses a wider focal length, or if there's some corrective component going on with the DJI but the DJI looks so much better and not like a fish eye lens

[@qayyumchariff4357]

If you know how to manually sets your camera, iso, shutterspeed, etc, it wont matter which camera, but I still wouldn't go for the GoPro

[@DDFGhostHunting]

There are micro gitters in the day video for the DJI but it kicked the gopros ass in the night videos

[@EspenJohan]

wow. the dji even looks worst in daylight. 2:44 just 2 minutes in and looks that the image quality

[@kiyotoishii4833]

Both cameras are great. GoPro seems to have more detail quality even-though under low light condition but stabilisation isn't great after the sunset. Action 4 is much brighter and better stability under low light condition (minus detail quality). It's great to have both cameras.

[@MrWiseinheart]

Yeah basically if you can afford it Go pro 12 for the day and the Action "4" the night

[@MegaKorben]

Unfair comparison. If you turn off hyper smooth on go Pro it is much better. In daylight you used standard instead of hdr and log of course it doesn’t look good

[@krtz23]

Its weird. Its kinda like you need both of these cameras. One for night and the other for day.

[@kickasshole]

Maybe you can try activate the HDR on gopro when low light. I saw the result quite good in low light.

[@Dcrainmaker]

I found it’s good for sunset, but after that it didn’t matter.

[@planetguam8475]

Dji started taking over 2 years ago. I stuck with GoPro because its an American company, and was hoping they'd get better. GoPro is getting worse and dji is getting better. Sorry GoPro, I'm buying Chinese.

[@mariuszbiernaczyk5656]

Go pro still better. Clouds, colors, image details, face distortion ... and more...

[@aticonn]

To me it simply looks like the DJI is brighter at the base settings, it blows out the highlights when you have a brighter portion of the image so that seems to me to confirm it does not have better dynamic range. So if you want equivalent exposure on the GoPro just adjust the EV and you can get the same “Brightness” in low light and blow out any highlights like the DJI. Just my opinion. That last scene look at his tennis shoe it’s totally blow out on the DJI.

[@timk8258]

Yes but even with the lower overall exposure the GoPro footage is noisier, had less detail and worse stabilization (in the night shots). So it’s going to look even worse if you push the EV up another stop or more.

[@Matlauk]

I do agree that gopro has better daytime quality. But the batteries are so unreliable, the camera dies at 50% battery life, desynced audio, camera turning off from over heating. I'll grab the the DJI over the gopro every time. GoPro has known about these issues for years. 5+ years. I do not see myself buying another gopro.

[@RONNYPLAYS]

Nice. Go pro hero 12 is more sharper and natural video, although slightly darker in night mood, but natural yellow light yet. Thanks A great comparison. Relatively Go Pro Hero is cheap as well.

[@shepshape2585]

I'm the Boomer who's still using his GoPro Hero 4 Black and I'm quite content with the footage I get. I also love my DJI Air 2s drone. I tend to find that chasing the latest technology is expensive and you're better off waiting. Buying a model that's 3, 4, 5 models back saves you quite a bit of money, and in most cases, you're not sacrificing too many options. I mean, if you're making videos as a top KZbinr or you have some other kind of business where the extra bit of crispness is worth the money because your clients are paying you good money, then by all means, have at it. But if you're just shooting video for your own use, does this year's model really stand out over last year's model? Or the model from three years ago?

Для ночной съемки на рынке камер есть девайсы стоимостью 30.000+++ euro, и то изображение у них не на много лучше. Так что вполне можно довольствоваться тем, что есть + настроить хороший постпродакшен. Будет приемлемо) И кстати: в ночном режиме рекомендуют отключить все режимы стабилизации в камере, и использовать карданный подвес. Это уменьшит тряску картинки и намного ее улучшит. Так же советуют выставить низкий уровень резкости. Буду пробовать) Автору - благодарность за видео!

[@TakeBetterPhotos1]

Fabulous comparison! Do you have an idea of how bright things were at tipping point between GoPro winning and DJI winning? Is it possible to reverse-engineer the EV or lux levels from the metadata of the footage or any still photos taken at the time? I'd guess 400 lux, but I could be miles off. Thanks for all the work in such a thorough comparison.

So on default settings, each action cam has Its strongest aspect. I believe each camera has manual settings so that it will excel on each condition (day or night) which not all people may understand (ISO, shutter speed, aperture, etc)

[@wherezthebeef]

GoPro colors are just painful, can't stand the look.

[@wezvandez]

DJI seems overexposed and noisy at night and in darker spaces...both cameras should not be used for evening shoots.

[@Tom_Roberts]

These cameras aren't designed for low light - what's the point of this ?

[@underthedrone2735]

I wonder how these cameras would do with a full-sized camera gimbal for someone walking around in the evening. I see the Insta360 Ace Pro does a better job at night but it's also quite a bit more expensive. Like you said, it depends one what and when someone wants to film and under what conditions.

[@masteroutlier]

3:07 to 3:12 what is that?! why is the grass moving on the gopro capture?

[@dougmorato]

DJI has definitely better low light capabilities but we have to recognize how good GoPro dynamic range is.

[@Eyeofkamau]

Either the DJI has horrible dynamic range or it’s overexposing the image to prioritize shadows. Either way, not good.

[@miguelrosete2834]

Cool Amsterdam ride, but you missed De Wallen , ( Just for check cameras low light performance )

Go pro 12 is my first action camera. I had her for two weeks. During this time I tried all possible options. But I couldn’t get it to shoot at least satisfactorily in low light conditions, without a stabilizer. The whole problem is that to avoid blurring while moving, you must set the shutter speed to 250 or higher. This makes the video very dark. You should use ISO 3200-6400 in this mode. This adds a lot of noise. And still the picture remains dark. I also tried to fix this in post-processing, but the result was unsatisfactory. I tried shooting without stabilization and then using gyroflow to stabilize it. Filmed in hdr and gp-log. I installed the labs firmware and played with different settings there. Nothing helped. I'm tired of the fact that my $100 phone takes better pictures in the evening. Today I sold the camera. In a nutshell, owning it can be described as I love it and I hate it. She is beautiful during the day. And in the evening it's just a nightmare

In my opinion, GoPro is definitely better than the Osmo 4. DJI brightens the highlights too much and doesn't allow for details to be captured in the recorded objects. This follows the same rule found in photography: it's better to take a darker picture and brighten it with software than to capture an overexposed image, which leaves little space to work with afterward. GoPro captures a significantly wider color spectrum, as can be seen in this and many other videos. Thanks for this comparison video :)
