DJI Osmo Action 3 Beginners Guide

[@tnrX999]

Having just ordered one, this guide is great for a novice like me. Clear, concise & without all the faff and frills. Very informative, nice one😊

[@brifields21]

ive tried to watch like 6 versions of videos like this and couldnt make it through because everyone is boring lol but you're super knowledgeable and entertaining!! this was a huge help

[@theforrestree]

This was SO helpful! I've been thinking about upgrading from my GoPro Hero 7 to the DJI Osmo 3 and this was great in-depth look before buying.

[@bicolanoDIYerInCanada]

I also have gopro 7 and I added the action 3 for my vlogging.

[@SESSTNoaTheHogFather]

Thanks for the advices about using DJI action 3

[@coachpat69]

I too am a beginner and super appreciate this! More power to you! Subscribed and Bell On! Cheers from the Philippines!

[@Hamzta]

For your underwater shots in the intro, were you using the underwater case? And if not, did you notice any differences after?

[@finazulkifli]

So useful for me as a newbie! Thank you so much!

[@ihatemarmalade1]

Great, straight to the point guide, coming a from a newbie. Thank you!

[@brianjordan5629]

It's the action camera I need, friendly price too! Well done on the video

[@diya_2020]

Toooooo good man. That really amazing and good work

[@kennywoodyard4819]

I always refer back to your settings when ever I need a refresher class. Brilliantly done my friend. Thank you always for sharing your knowledge. Oh snap - Q? What do you think is a good setting to video at night? Kenny

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

At night, the best way to maximise light into the sensor is to turn off stabilisation, shoot in 24 or 25 FPS and manually set your shutter speed to 1/25 or its lowest setting. This isn’t going to work well if you’re performing an action. It’s really just for mounted shots or vlogging. Hope this helps 🤘🏽

[@Lee-zg3gx]

Great video, how is it for taking photos, probably be pretty bad in low light I suppose? Any videos on this testing? 😊

[@jazzfall9493]

Just got mine yesterday, really excited.

[@kimsonmadrid2928]

Thank you sir for the very informative video, i hope i have that one . Keep continuing to create video reviews.

[@bac4728]

What are your recommendations for using an ND/NDPL filter and also the EV, white balance, exposure, etc. Help!

I appreciate this video a lot. Thank you!!! Been loving the Osmo Action 3 but haven’t explored that much yet. I’m going to have a better experience with it now, thanks

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

stoked! enjoy

[@manuelmarzinek3290]

Hey there @ 7:57 Jake Rich and Anna Chah I am a huge fan of your channel and just got the Actio 3 and with the latest Firmware Update, i really enjoy working with it. Why do you have way more "setting guides" for the GoPro than for the Osmo Action 3? I would really love to see more settings. Especially for underwater stuff. Cheers Manuel

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

Stoked to hear, we have way more settings guides because gopro have way more cameras and more users, great fo hear you’re enjoying action 3, a lot of the details and info we share about underwater settings for gopro will also apply for action 3 🤘🏽

[@manuelmarzinek3290]

@@JakeRichandAnnaChah thanks alot for your quick and kind response. In this case, i will take the settings shown and recommended in your gopro Videos and simply use kinda the same for the Action 3 and see how it turns out. Just recently saw your drone Video. Great stuff too. Maybe you can create more of these. And... what I would like to see... in case you are using any for the drones as well for the Action 3 or GoPro.. a Video about the use of CPL and ND filters/lenses. That would be great. I love the way you show the difference in the footage. A 1:1 comparison like you did with the settings and 1080 flat color profile to 4k with different frame rates.. that was great!

[@el_havs]

You will not have the settings for underwater?😁

[@jackspring7709]

Thanks. One of the best reviews on the Osmo Action 3: I bought mine recently and it exceeded every expectation. I was astounded at it's Rock Steady function which makes it almost glide like a steadicam or a drone. The lush, rich colours were another surprise. One of the best gadgets I own.

[@eliteshinobeyt7004]

Hi i wna buy one too could you tell me the battery life and photos as compared to an iphone ??

[@jackspring7709]

@@eliteshinobeyt7004 Hello. The battery life runs up to about 160 minutes which is very good. The 'photos are very detailed and beautifully coloured, just like the iPhone: it has lush, rich colours. For close-up photographs the iPhone is better because it can pick more intricate details at a close distance and can adjust focus. There is no focus adjustment on the Osmo Action 3. I hope that answers your questions well. I love the camera.

[@jackspring7709]

@@eliteshinobeyt7004 Hello. I replied but for some reason my comment was removed. I'll summarise. Battery life is up to 160 minutes. It takes beautiful, detailed and colour-rich 'photographs, like the iPhone. But for close-up photographs the iPhone is better at sharper with detail. The iPhone has focus control, the Osmo Action 3 doesn't. Overall an amazing camera.

[@karansran7]

@@jackspring7709thank you so much man im actually purchasing this for mtb and my trips to various islands across the world and the go pro’s kinda expensive i actually have an iphone 15 too the simple one so ig its a better deal to go for the dji action as it’s more rugged than an iphone for the underwater filming i suppose

Downloaded the new Mimo app, from WiFi setting Stopped mobile data as instructed. Still not connecting. Found some solution from internet. So got one old Android phone Samsung S7 edge, downloaded the new Mimo app and it connected automatically. My cam was the 2023 version and came with updated Firmwire already. But I was Freaked out at first when I was unable to connect the phone and it's saying 4 attempts left? What does that mean. If someone unable to connect in 5 attempts, will it be useless?

Brilliant, Thank you mate. NB Question. A setting I cant find. On my action 1 I am able to set the camera to take a photo every 2 seconds.

Hi. Any recommended preset for vlogging in vertical shooting? TQ

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

If you're editing on desktop shoot in 4K FOV: wide, if it's an action sequence, shoot in 100fps, if it's vlogging, shoot in 24 or 25fps, if you're not sure, choose 50fps - for mobile editing, drop your frame size to 1080 or 2.7K for faster workflow

Very nice job in starting us out however maybe you should just show us how to turn it on and take some basic pictures and film. All those settings tend to confuse older people like me lol. Btw the plant to your right I was looking closely at it. Has it ever bloomed? I believe it’s in the family what we call NIGHT BLOOMING CERUS. Yes only blooms at night, only last for one night. The most I’ve ever had in one night was 22 on three different plants. My dad started them somewhere around 45 years ago.
