How I get INCREDIBLE Moto POV Footage! *DJI Osmo Action 4*

[@Randy_Cox]

Been using the Action Cam 3 for over a year and it is hands down better than any gopro I have used. The thing I like the most is the battery life. Almost 2 hours of footage on 4k is 3 times better than gopro and you don't have to buy extra or special battery's.

[@JeffWalker84]

Battery life is definitely great! I got the Adventure bundle that comes with two extra batteries, and I haven't even opened them yet because it never dies haha

[@mike_paschos]

@@JeffWalker84 haha! Note to self, don't buy the bundle...lmao!

[@BicBoiDyl]

You sold me man. I have been a long time GoPro user, but, now I feel they just don't care about the camera or consumers, just money. This DJI platform they have just seems so much more superior. Thanks for the video! Keep up the great work man 😎

[@stevesvids]

You've just sold me on an Action 4. I constantly get frustrated with the bottom 3rd of the video looking distractingly awful on riding action vids. Your demo here at 9:50 onwards with the ND filter and slower shutter speeds clearly shows a massive improvement to the bottom 3rd of the video. It looks naturally blurred as motion should and not choppy pixilated stutters. I always thought this was something to do just with KZbin but it clearly starts with choosing the correct shutter speed. Thanks. Appreciated.

[@woodlandwugui]

that's it, I'm sold on this for my next camera especially you mentioning it for the wood riders! Cheers

[@kjohns236]

I had no clue this option existed! Thank you 🤘🏽

[@Heckman_Productions]

Awesome video Jeff, was thinking about doing one similar one when I get my Osmo Action 4 but no need to now 🤣 super informative and well done!

i got one a few months back. love it so far. would love for you to do a settings guide on how you set it up.

[@Marzbikerider]

[@coltonparrington5076]

Do you ever use the external mic for riding or just vlogging? Would be interesting to hear if there is a major difference or not for riding footage

[@mixtips637]

[@Conall_Hicks]

Jeff! What chin mount is that I’ve been looking 🙏

[@infamousfn1753]

Just got mine today and love it. Where do you mount yours and what settings are you using? Thanks

[@MainJet158]

The Action 3 was really good and because the Action 4 works great with the DJI Mic 2 and the GPS remote I switched to the A4. I bought an Action 5 and honestly I didn't need to. The Action 4 has a much better normal color profile so I don't have to do any color corrections. The extra features of the A5 don't justify upgrading and I tell people if they don't already have an action camera and want one, get the Action 4.

[@riekertn]

Jeff what mount do you use on the helmet itself to attach the camera mount on to. Hope that makes sense 5:40

[@yz85kx85]

this!

[@tuckerbeddiges]

Thanks for making this video, my gopro stopped working in the middle of one of my best motos of my life, and none of the footage was viewable. I just ordered an action 4 to replace the gopro

[@ohiomoto]

Nice video and it is really cool to see how much you are willing to help others in the comments! And, DJI should sponsor this video if they didn't already. Maybe they can send you their new EMTB (which looks legit btw) as a way of saying "thanks!"

[@yuriabmxr]

I just picked up a DJI O4 and absolutely love it! Now my videos look as awesome as yours!😂😉

[@tomguccimain615]

Hey Jeff, do you recommend a full case for track riding incase of rocks/roost?

[@nicrea114]

what do you use to mount it to your helmet

[@ErelKANDEMIR]

Where did you get your chin mount?

[@Lurtch]

Is there anything else you add or change specifically for moto? The camera doesn't seem to have too much wind noise, which is nice.

[@zodiac_9984]

You should totally make a video comparing the raw audio of all the different action cams at the tracks with your various mics

[@Tyler-325]

Very good video I really love my action 4 but I noticed for atleast what my settings were that in the dark its very hard to see what the camera was recording and just became very shaky thats the only thing I hate about my camera but overall I love the camera

[@user-de4bp1ux7o]

11:55 you could probably stick one of those dji mics in the air box

[@lil_chiz7110]

What mount are you using in this video?

[@RoiAloosh]

So, where do you mount your external mic when riding?

[@JeffWalker84]

I use the external mic for vlogging with the Action 4, but I actually just use the onboard microphone for riding footage. I use a foam wind cover to block out wind noise

[@RoiAloosh]

@@JeffWalker84 I guess that make sense, your not talking while your riding 😂

[@Kolsch221]

Jeff, what settings are you using? I use a GoPro hero 8- 2.7 30 frames superview. Works great for hare scrambles, but time to upgrade cameras.

[@mike_paschos]

Thanks Jeff! To be honest, I didn't really like the insta360 X3. It felt cumbersome and big compared to my gopro. This will be my next camera. Appreciate it!

[@JeffWalker84]

The 360 cams really shine if you're using a chest mount, but the standard action cameras are much better for helmet-mounted filming for sure

[@mike_paschos]

@@JeffWalker84 just purchased the Osmo action 4 today based on your recommendation...and the mic 2 bundle with the two transmitters and receiver. Can't wait to make some cool moto videos. You the man Jeff! Appreciate it!

[@mike_paschos]

@@JeffWalker84 one last question. How do you mount the "mic 2" within your helmet. We'd also love to see another video of your mic and camera setup on your helmet!

[@yz85kx85]

Jeff how do you mount it in the front of your helmet?

[@nathanbrowning1156]

Have you used the Hero 12 with the 2.0 wide lens or an nd fliter? just bought that myself and feel pretty good about it so far.

[@SpeedDemonExpress]

I have the osmo 3. Maybe the 4 is tougher, but my 3 on my very first lap it cracked the front screen from roost. That has never happened to any of my gopros. Dji did replace it under the repair and replace program. Ever since then, I have stopped using it for motocross.

[@iancoons7079]

Always have been afraid of this, but I’ve heard the cases just ruin quality with the camera and the audio

[@JAAAAAACkkkkK]

What mount do you use for thr helmet man? Do you have a link for it Cheers jeff !

[@MVARacing]

[@dylmakay2299]

What chin mount do you use? And where can we get it?

[@MuddyOutlaw]

Hey Jeff, what video editing software do you use, PC or MAC? Besides 4k 30fps what other setting do you set on the DJI? Im a woods rider and just got the DJI, video looks great just can’t edit it on my phone with the default app, files are too big.

[@JeffWalker84]

I've used Davinci Resolve for video editing ever since the beginning of my channel. It's free and works great! They have a paid upgraded version with more features if you end up wanting to do that, but totally unnecessary. I've had a decent PC since 2020 that I've edited on for the last few years, but I picked up a Macbook Pro with an M2 chip last month and it is an absolute MONSTER for editing. Highly recommend going that route (unless you also want to do some gaming. Then build a PC)

[@Moto619films]

Can you go over your setting on the dji

[@Jarc22]

One quick question, I film with 4k gopro 12. But when I upload to youtube the quality isnt that good, you maybe know what im doing wrong? Huge fan, nice vid.

[@JeffWalker84]

What editing software do you use to edit and export the footage? A lot of it comes down to your export settings. I use davinci resolve, and I have to crank the export bitrate up to 150,000 just to get decent results.

[@SirPhilMcCrackinVonBeggington]

Jeff already answered, but your problem is 100% with your export settings. When you export, your final file type should be h.264 with a VERY high bitrate like Jeff mentioned. Export to 1440p (2k).

Hi jeff, I have one more question(sorry I know I'm asking allot), in my gopro videos is a weird sound. It sounds like the gopro is moving in the case, but when I check, the gopro is still. I will be really greatful, if you would do 2 clicks and go to one of my gopro videos to hear for yourself. I'm not writing you just to check my chanell or to get views or anything like that but your opinion. What protecion do you recomend for a action camera(gopro) I use gopro's protective housing. I want to be sure that the gopro is safe if i crash. Thank you, best wishes.

[@SpeedDemonExpress]

You didn’t talk about the app. Gopro has a decent app so you can edit your videos with your phone. The dji app isn't very good.

[@koolgbe]

What do you mean the app works flawlessly, it has all the functions needed and its handy to use

[@SpeedDemonExpress]

@koolgbe I didn't say it doesn't work. It's just nothing compared to the gopro app. I own both cameras btw. The dji app is very basic bare bones compared to the gopro app. If you're planning on using your phone to save and edit videos the gopro app wins that by far.

[@tuoghbananasquash2093]

I thought helmet cams are banned in pro motocross

[@JeffWalker84]

Unfortunately they are banned at AMA sanctioned races. I use a chest cam at races for that reason

[@HudsonCook328]

I bought a GoPro hero 11 for Moto a couple months ago, ur making me sad and in-content

[@lszmoto]

I just bought it as well for my last vacation and I’m loving it so far! I am using 4K/30 RS 1/60 with ND32 but I happen to have problems with the stabilization? Do you have any tips in terms of settings? 🫨

[@JeffWalker84]

Unfortunately all action cameras use digital stabilization which works by lining up pixels from the previous frame to the current frame. When you run a ton of motion blur, the software has a hard time accurately lining up the pixels because they’re blurry instead of nice and sharp. As you introduce more motion blur, the stabilization will get worse and worse. Try running a 4x shutter speed (1/120) instead of 2x (1/60). For reference, I almost always use 1/240 and an ND8 filter which gives me a bit of motion blur, but also preserves the stabilization

[@lszmoto]

@@JeffWalker84 thank you so much for the in-depth explanation, I’ll make sure to try that!
