Is the dji osmo action 4 better than GoPro?

You are seeing it in real time people. I took delivery of this only 20minutes ago.
This was the unboxing before THE unboxing as I have to wait for the mic being delivered tomorrow.
I have purchased the dji osmo action 4 , will I like it? Is it any good? Would I recommend it ?
You can guarantee that my answer will be my own, I am not sponsored ( I never will be ) I paid for this camera myself.
My opinion is my own and not clouded or biased because I received the camera pre launch date or at a heavily reduced rated.
I can honestly say I will never accept anything from a company than I never paid for as I feel it compromises your ability to be honest without fear of losing your privileges.
Hang loose. Zed. 👍👊

you're gonna love this camera stu 😎😎😎😎

@@Grint-XR I agree, it is better than GoPro in so many ways, horizon levelling, FOV, wireless 🛜 audio. Anything that makes it easier in the long run.

Looking forward to your research project!😊

Nice one mate. Good camera.

@@haggiswhisperer it’s very similar to my osmo action, it has a familiarity about it. Connection the Dji 2 mic is pretty simple, it did take me a bit to find where the gain settings were. 😂

Well done buddy you've made the right choice they're a great camera, I'm sure you'll get lots of great footage with it. My guess is you'll buddy it up with the wireless mics, they're a great combination and it makes editing a breeze. If the main camera audio isn't up to scratch the internal recording is perfectly timed stamped to match. p.s. the ZZR is going and being replaced with a BMW R1250R, test rode one today and it was fun, fun, fun 😊

@@michaellilley6725 The mic arrived today mate, I can’t wait to try it out. I am selling my GoPro hero 9 and buying another Dji osmo action 4. That will mean I will have 3 Dji as I have the original osmo action ( first dual screen vlogging camera )

[@michaellilley6725]

@@Zedhead_ Wow you're all suited and booted and ready for action, you'll need to reduce the gain on the camera, the transmitter/mic and the receiver as audio on the camera is too hot. If you're going to use a lav mic don't worry about an expensive one, they're too high gain, I've found the best mic to be one cut off a cheap set of earpieces. It'll probably take a test run or two to get the balance right, I'll have a look to see how mines set up and let you know.

@@michaellilley6725 going by all the vids I have watched -12db gain is the number. I am placing the mic at my cheekpad. I am going to try it tomorrow to see how it works.

Yay.

@@PaulsMotoZen GoPro sucks, dji for the win.

I've got a little package in front of me, just below my big package of a gut 😂 You just need the Mic 2 and the GPS remote and you're set to go mate 👍

[@Zedhead_]

@@tojj29 Hey Nigel I have the mic 2 as well it got delivered yesterday. I was thinking about the gps remote but the fact that you can use voice prompts to switch the camera on and off I am wondering whether I need it or not.
