One Of These Action Cameras REALLY Annoys Me... | GoPro 12 vs DJI Action 4: Which Is Best For MTB?

[@SouthernSender]

Wow I think the footage at @10:52 shows something super interesting. With the DJI the clifs look real to size but when you flip to the GoPro they get SO much shorter! Classic GoPro effect flattening everything out but its super interesting that the DJI looks so much different! Funny that the difference is only easy to tell in the 'audio test' haha

[@davosam1968]

thats what im thinking lol

[@Garou0410]

I noticed the same. DJI looks so much better

[@scannorse]

Thats exactly why i choose to buy the action 4

[@SouthernSender]

@@scannorse I just got one and am obsessed. Good bye GoPro

[@PuffinPass]

7:00 why Gopro never thought to do this still boggles my brain a bit. Having to relocate your angle every time you need to access the battery of mem card is ridiculous and has ended in so much wasted time and footage.

[@caydenbrophy]

they hav in 13

[@MattPula]

absolutely no complaints about my OSMO 3 still, been using it for a year now and see no reason to replace it.

[@TheActiveLife20]

My biggest annoyance with the GoPro is the design of the media mod. You put the GoPro in the media mod and then use the foldable feet on the GoPro to attach to your mounting point. This means you have to take the GoPro off the mount and remove it from the media mod just to change the battery. This would have been so much simpler if the media mod had its own feet. With that said I've seen nothing in the last two years that make it worth buying a replacement for my GoPro 10.

[@B1KER]

I think it's really funny that the company that doesn't speak English as their native language managed to get a better UI that is easier for us to navigate through. If I didn't have a camera or a channel I'd probably get the DJI. For my particular use cases I still lean towards GoPro. However, I have an 11 now and probably won't get a new one until whatever changes they make next year. The upgrades seemed nominal aside from filming verticle with the max lens 2.0.

[@jarobiMTB]

Would really be interested on how the GoPro compares when the MaxLens Mod is added. I assume it will better compare for FOV in both landscape and portrait mounts, but whether or not it is simply better than the DJI or if it just gives it enough for the GoPro to catch up to the DJI. The GoPro with Max Lens Mod would def cost more, but if the FOV is markedly better than the DJI, it might be worth it.

[@glaborie]

the max lens mod 2.0 has a FOV of 177° and this makes a huge difference

[@sdchrisc]

Should look better since its adding 100$ to the total cost of the camera

[@FINNdeischgut]

​@@glaborieYes, but a field of view that is too wide doesn't look good either. I can tell straight away when someone has taken POV clips with a Gopro (max lens 2.0) or an Insta360 and to me it looks terrible. The DJI in log mode with post-processing and RockSteady mode on the chest mount simply looks best for MTB clips.

[@YogiTheBearMan]

Does DJi have Quik style editing software? Editing time is what kills most people’s action cam usage from my experience. I like that you can flag highlights as you’re recording on GoPro

[@TravelFox01]

Thanks for the comparison . Did you notice that the vertical field of view of the GoPro is much higher due to the 8:7 sensor. @ 3:23 I think it can make a big difference if you see the horizon and bike in a MTB Videos…

[@PassiveIZ]

If you look at 3:27 you can see much more of the bike on the DJI and more of the sky/horizon on the GoPro, its the same i think, just tilted slightly different. DJI crops in from a 4/3 sensor, GoPro crops in from 8/7 sensor, dont think there is a difference in vertical FOV.

[@NWTrailSeries]

The clip system alone wins my heart. I bought a magclip thing for the GoPro, and its a game changer but those damn screws are always a pain... If GoPro ever upgraded to a similar method, everyone would lose their shit cause they would need to replace all their accessories. but my god, what a better design.

[@PassiveIZ]

Accessories still work, its just a part between the camera and the mount. That magnetic thing has those magnetic clips on one side and the screw on gopro mount on the other. GoPro accessories are very commonly used for DJI camera cuz there is a wider variety of options because of gopro being so established.

[@jpht.adventures]

I want the action 4 purely for the magnetic mounting, but my gopro hero 8 still works perfectly fine for me to upgrade. Keep up the good content!

[@chrisjones7281]

for about 10 bux there is an adapter that allows you to use the DJI magnetic mount system. But that is for the GP 9-12. If that were the only reason😊

[@xColter]

Same lmao

[@Aykun]

12:27 i strongly agree. i am a 12 user for forest mtb. and basically hate the low light res. u really change my mind and convince me to buy osmo.. we will see.. thanks for the video. love the way you try and comment..

[@ltdanyj]

The DJI is my new "go to" camera- But it's STILL missing one glaring feature that the gopro has: BURST photo mode!!! If DJI ever does a firmware update to include that feature, it would be a total home run...

[@fintancostello_ok]

DJI seems to be sponsoring more and more mountain bike KZbinrs.

[@davosam1968]

no you blind

[@fintancostello_ok]

@@davosam1968 what???

[@Shr3dflintston3]

Is this a paid promotion? I feel like it is, but I can’t confirm.

[@fintancostello_ok]

@@Shr3dflintston3 I feel like it’s almost certain as the amount of mtb youtubers that have done literally the exact same video is just unbelievable.

[@scottwaddell298]

It's crazy it's exactly like all the other videos DJ's the second coming of Jesus.... I read somewhere that DJI actually has guidelines for the videos that's likely why. Forget to mention better stabilization on the GoPro.. sorta important

[@hungrypanda7]

I've been GoPro fan for over 12 years and this year I made the switch to the Action 4. At first I was skeptical with all the KZbin reviews, I'd come up with fanboy excuses to defend GoPro, UNTIL I actually bought one and tried it on my snowboarding trip to Japan last month. HOLY MOTHER, I was mind blown by not only the image quality but the user interface. One thing I LOVE about the action 4 is the magnetic quick release, man, that thing save so much time when trying to remove the camera from selfie stick, I found myself saying "thank God for the quick release" many times.

[@canvasbackthomas102]

Good video my man. The battery on both lasting all day is crazy. I have a Go Pro hero black 10. I now have it set up on 4K all the time. The battery will last about an hour. I actually bought a couple of spare knock off Amazon batteries so I can get 2 1/2- 3 hours in. I used to video in 2.7K and one battery would last a couple of hours but 4K is a different ball game.

[@vashon100]

7:05 How can you not be sweating in the desert. Good review.

[@SeanHarlow]

Anything that encourages more vertical video production is a negative feature. There are very few kinds of content for which vertical aspect ratios are better, and those watching videos on phones can easily turn them sideways to fully enjoy proper horizontal content instead of encouraging more bad videos with the sides cut off that can't even be fully viewed on a TV or computer.

[@az5654]

Wonder about the file size and format (ie., MPEG4) of each camera. Any info?

[@juanrhernandezjr.5542]

I’m 6’7” 345 Lbs. And I thank you! I only bought a bike to ride with my daughter, but you inspire me to try and dabble into trails!

[@Rocketed12]

I have the focus issues with my 32 day old Osmo Action 4. Sold my Gopro hero 8 to buy this. Had to complete a Repair Request Form on the DJI website and now have to post the camera to Holland from the UK, where I live. If they don't fix it I'll immediately go to my credit card company, using Section 75, which is a protection policy we have here in the UK when a customer has purchased an item which is not fit for purpose. Any action camera is only as good as the quality of service you receive when the camera goes wrong

[@thegriff9425]

How do you mount your camera? Chest mount or chin mount?

[@MikeleSalaud]

I've been leaning toward the DJI. This solidified that choice. Thanks!

[@birdpoop8753]

the gopro is for camera people in the action world and the dji is for action people in the camera world

[@Reimous]

Such a nice comparison. Just still missing in all the sunset low light performance :(

[@chrissy40984]

I don't wanna be annoying but seems a bit biased since dji sponsored this vid kinda one sided

[@JeepingNet]

Gopro Labs is a big reason for me to stick with GoPro. GoPro out of the box is meh.. but once you dial the settings it can be amazing but DJI is certainly also awesome the decision these days is difficult for sure.

[@dirtabletv]

You helped me buy a new DJI, thank you. I'm a new channel trying to be like yours but in dirt bikes (and fellow Big dude)... Anyway, I tried watching many videos about settings and when I get into the Pro mode, its all washed out and way over exposed. I went back to shooting in 4K/60 and all else on auto. My footage will be similar to yours, have you found better settings that work best? Thank you!

[@charlyzzz]

Sooo, what really annoyed you?

[@serktv6231]

I guess the mounting clip vs screw unscrew mount on the gopro

[@andrewrivera4029]

Bro you’re still young before all the weight related issues start and I’m sure a few already have, it’s World Carnivore month you should do it. After 30 days you’ll start feeling much better and all those pesky XC weeny trails will start to become enjoyable! Happy New Year!

[@kodster330]

I think the audio had the biggest comparison difference. I bet you would be able to hear an even more of a difference if I was listening on a computer speaker or home speakers for that matter. If I could tell the quality on my phone. It’s even worse with better speakers

[@GeneVilleneuve]

This is the first time I watch one of your long form videos. Awesome! Vid. For some reason I thought you were Italian! 🤷🏻‍♂️ I love love love your shorts and reels.

[@HillsberryMTB]

Thanks for this wicked good vid on the cameras... I watched because I'm in need of a new camera for my channel. I looked at a couple other cameras also, but your video made my choice of camera a lot easier... looks like the DJI would work best for me also. I like the more modern mounting magnet thing, and the low light looks awesome (We ride mostly at end of the day).

[@southernaccent]

I had a DJI in my cart ready to go, one last check and realized you can't use the camera without downloading their app, and you can't load their app from the the Google store because it didn't pass the security check so it has to be side loaded. One person commented that he couldn't side load it because of what he assumed was the fact he had anything coming from China blocked. Upon further investigation it appears that the app actually has to come from Russia. Yeah, I don't like where this is going.

[@chrismade123]

Gopro still offers a replacement for a broken cam when you on there subscription service?

[@CuriousRAGE]

Have you tried the Max Lens 2.0 on the Gopro12? And is there something similar to DJI Osmo Action 4?

[@rulosan3146]

What mtb pants/trousers do you use, i’m kind of a big guy on the thighs and i can’t find any options that fit me right, what do you use?? please help

[@ryanmrodriguez]

Great video! Loved the comparison on Flying Monkey

[@Skyum123]

You can discount the gopro with the clip, instead of screwing it off the mount completely ☺️ I love that the dji i doing so well, competition on the market is great!

[@LucasY_YT]

I have the Gopro Hero 11 right now, but if and when I upgrade, I am definitely switching to the Dji Osmo Action. Don't get me wrong, I love my Gopro, but the Osmo has a better camera.

[@joeljohnson9583]

I wish there was a wide angle lens for the action 4. The gopro has a much better fov with the wide angle lens

[@imabigfanbro]

Are you going to Mint 400?

[@mudkayak6305]

does dji have any 360 capability?

[@dadlife8289]

No

[@W4ltzzzz]

The true techies are saying that the 5.3k footage is just for marketing. Completely useless, and I have yet to see any technology with 5.3k.

[@Emtbtoday]

I think it's more the replaceable lens on the Go pro and the mount n case I heard a couple the guys at the trail going on about it having over the DJI

[@DejvBoss]

Hey @NRML MTBer . I just wanted to ask where to buy knee/shin guards, back guards etc. Because i am a big guy too and i dont know where to get ones my size. And also thank you for the cool content 🤙

[@SouthwestSasquatch]

Shred on! 🤘 Nice review.

[@whateverrobert]

I’m a small channel I own all go pros. Well not the 12 yet. I like my go pros. I don’t own a dji 4 but I do like the go pro I know the settings but I have a memory issue so I barely change them ..however if you look at point and shoot. At least a go pro session is that. Dji magnet …they make it for the go pro. I back go pro. Dji maybe get one….insta 360 that little what thing is gimmicky

[@Tibiscuit_OW2]

Thanks for the video, I feel like DJI is better everywhere and cost 100€ less. Lets go!

[@treywilson4059]

Love your vids keep it up 👊

You are so behind GoPro does the magnet to. What impressed me is the fact that the bike can handle you with does jumps

[@RKridesMTB]

Great work. I'm probably on 4th or 5th GoPro and I've always been happy with them for the most part. Easy to use overall and the app has been simple... your review seemed pretty comprehensive with what matters to me and by your comparison I was pretty impressed with the DJI. Thx

[@Cheeseburger_Moto316]

Riding a dirtbike i wouldn't trust a magnetic clip. I need to be screwed in.

[@W4ltzzzz]

Yeah I thought that too but I recently got one and really yanked on the clip to see and it stayed on. You have 2 really thick high quality plastic clips and a strong magnet. I think my chin mount would give out before the clips. I rode some jumps and rock gardens on my mountain bike and it's worked well. But it could be different for dirt biking!

[@Emtbtoday]

Audios well better on the dji
