That's so crazy! I'm used to gopros so seeing dji come up with something so durable and high quality blew me away!

[@rixshedfilm3365]

Anti mainstream Test 🔥🔥🔥

[@PeterLindgren1]

Hahaha! Had to test something different :D

[@carlgoetzinger6876]

Honestly I’d never put much thought into the osmo but this has been a MASSIVE selling incentive for me. I’ve been looking at GoPros and the Insta360 camera but you have fully just turned me towards the dji for the future when I’m able to get one. Great video Peter, thank you for the insight!

[@TUFFBASS]

Not noticing any focus issues?

[@PeterLindgren1]

Nope!

[@tombuck]

Quite the overheating test indeed 🔥

[@WaqManVR]

Yeah but what about the focus?

[@SteveWB]

Is that how you fix the blurred image lol

[@Iamtongue]

damn how many osmo actiosn did DJI give you for you to use charmander's FLAMETHROWER ON IT?!

[@kirtanforthesoul]

lots of reviews coming out with focus issues.

[@PeterLindgren1]

Haven’t had any issues with mine though!

[@The_Essential_Light]

There are some great things about the DJI Action 3, but I believe the image quality is better on the GoPro 11.

[@kopilandia]

I bought a foam case for my dji osmo action 3 to reduce wind noise when riding and fortunately, it works. My only issue was the camera does not fit perfectly in the foam case if I put it in with the cage included, so I looked for a documented test to know if I can use the camera on a daily basis w/o the cage. This video answered my question! Thank you!

[@vinzack3629]

Can you share a link of the foam case

[@FlytPath]

Action 3 FTW 🔥

[@robertcsmith7773]

I have heard a lot of things online about focus issues but, in my experience, DJI follows through and makes things right, so I am not worried. Compared to all the reliability and technical issues I have had with GoPro, the Action 3 is a no-brainer for me. P.S. - please try to have more FUN in your videos:) Great work . . .again!

[@SamStab007]

Good video. Now test the focus of the camera and tell us if its blurry or not.

[@silbay]

you just watched the video Skippy, was it blurry? DUH, the idiots on mediocre tube

[@vedranart]

Hi, not sure why no one talks about the magnetic feature more in videos, not the clamp mount, but the magnet itself. How well it works, how strong is it etc. Is magnet strong enough to stick on a car? (probably not, but still asking :D ) Thanks!

[@rajanvk939]

I highly appreciate your video. just subscribed to your channel. I have a few questions to ask.... In room temperature, i was shooting with osmo action 3 at 4k 60fps but it stopped recording after 15 minutes due to overheating. Next day, I was using it as webcam, and it stopped working after 15 to 16 minutes. is it a product´s fault? should I return it? Can you give some suggestions on this?

[@Totte.Lundgren]

Sjukt sugen på en. Men mycket snack om felkalibrerad fokus 😢 Hur upplever du den?

[@PeterLindgren1]

Inte märkt något av detta själv faktiskt!

[@Totte.Lundgren]

@@PeterLindgren1 man kanske ska chansa då 😬 har ju trots allt garanti och dom har ju erkänt problemet.

[@Totte.Lundgren]

@@PeterLindgren1 lämnade tillbaka min Hero11 och köpte denna istället. Toknöjd. Färgerna är mamma Mia jämfört med GoPros. 😍

[@cyrilblakeyblake8807]

Just bought the Osmo Action 4. It was lying on the bed and I didn't see it... Went to shake the duvet and it hurtled onto the floor attached to the stick... Hence I'm watching this video! Wow, so dam durable! So glad I bought DJI!

[@JapaneseJourney]

Loved the tests Peter! Low temperature resistance was the biggest issue I had with the Osmo Action 1. At about -10 degrees, each battery died in less than 5 minutes.

[@Motorradness]

Excellent durability test video of the Osmo Action 3 camera!

[@MichaelTapel]

I think the IQ is quite disappointing especially coming from DJI

[@johndornoff]

Could can tell the difference when you used the Action 3 for sound over other sound but otherwise very impressive. But torturing that poor little camera, what did it ever do to you...😀

[@Dudeitsharrison]

Definitely just set a new standard for reviewing and testing gear! 😂 Great stuff dude!!!

[@PeterLindgren1]

Hahaha 😂

[@gco2075]

DJI action cameras are robust and reliable AF like Toyotas in the car industry!

[@PeterHerget]

I have been using my Action 3 now for over a week, and yeah, it is pretty awesome. I am more than happy to have your run over it, shoot flames at the lens, and more... NOICE stress testing, Peter 👍👍

[@rajanvk939]

I too have it for a week. Does your DJI osmo action gets over heated and stops recording when shooting in room temperature?? I feel this as problem. DO you have any suggestions? After what time does it get heated during recording??

[@PeterHerget]

@@rajanvk939 nope, I did not experience any overheating issues with the OSMO Action 3 camera. I even had it in direct sunlight for an hour while cycling - it was a champ. Of course, while cycling, yes, I was moving most the time.

[@rajanvk939]

@@PeterHerget what was the setting while filming?? Can you please share so that I will try that settings for Video

[@wikingswen]

Kan du jämföra med GoPro Hero 10?? Sjukt bra video 😊

[@BrandonAhmaud]

Your thumbnail and vid content never disappoints 🔥🔥

[@ranztvofficial]

So nice action camera very good for vlogging and traveling...

[@AtletaFulltime]

Great test Peter, I always trust your reviews, but mine was recording a time-lapse, it fell out of the 3rd floor window on the ice. Result: DJI warranty is for battery only and lens (camera) does not cover screens. The camera didn't actually stop working, but to fix it was almost the price of a new one. I still think it's better than the GP, but I was disappointed with the DJI.

[@hml]

Yeah, I definitely made a mistake by getting the GoPro Hero 11. I guess I should get that one as well.

[@dragngt]

Love it. Thanks for doing all of that so we didn’t have to. 👍

[@infowisatakeluarga]

Finally there is a channel that discusses the advantages and toughness of this dji osmo action 3, where others are busy with the focus problem of this dji action 3 .... Good job and greetings from Indonesia bro 🤩

[@adimology]

yeah instead of just talking about the IQ, low light, etc... this review is one of a kind! thanks!

[@SarfrazBaloch]

Inspired videos work i like your video work

[@terryshrives8322]

How about just good old fashioned drop test? Like on concrete from say 6ft. Thats a little more realistic.

[@PeterLindgren1]

No fun in that, it won’t break 🤷🏻

I don't think this was filmed on dji osmo action3.I have this camera. The focus is just a disaster!

Okay. I got it. DJI would rather give you one to destroy, than give me one just for using it, like it should. Damn, I need to become more "relevant".

[@SedmogJula10]

Damn Peter! Poor camera :))))

Hi Peter , thanks for the review which is definetly different :) I also purchased this cam about 15 days ago and tested my way in my channel too. The thing is ; did you notice any blur / non focus issue of the Action 3 ? On DJI forum this topic is being hit and i guess i have the same issue with my OA3 maybe.. What you think ?

[@PeterLindgren1]

I haven’t noticed that myself no!

@@PeterLindgren1 Okay then it seems a lucky unit you had . Thanks for the reply !

[@pierresakr1811]

You are right , i am following this topic : the out of focus issue in wide view is the talk of Dji forum , so i delay my purchase of it waiting Dji to fix this ( hope so ) , or i will go to Insta 360 RS

Amazing test video!!! Thanks for filming that!! Keep going...greetings from Greece 🇬🇷

Incredible! Maybe I should add it to my setup😀

[@brettyg76]

I really want to convert from GoPro to DJI Osmo Action... BUT, until DJI can make it’s action camera with 23+mp photos , I will stick with my GoPro... that’s what absolutely love most of my GoPro... those 23mp photos (hero 10).

[@mikeneitte212]

Well im gonna try with gopro

[@Travelwithdan89]

For real if i can get that kind of camera I will be better in making videos also I love gopro but in Africa here there to expensive

[@bleunoirmobile]

Hooooooly molllyyyy. Crap! You just turned yourself into a torture room! 😂 I wouldn’t have never ever dare to… melt it and then freeze it nor roll over it… with a car! No boring blah- blah about spec… just pure (funny and enjoyable) torture! Love it.

Excellent Test Video. Amazing That The Osmo Action 3 Camera Survived. Thank You Peter.

[@joshlui6749]

what did the gopro do to you? HAHAHA

[@backpackingJas]

Two questions, is possible to get the osmo inside the ocean without damage because of the salt? And is the waterproof case from the osmo 1 usefull to this one??

[@PeterLindgren1]

First Question: Yes! Second question: No, but you don’t need a waterproof case!

[@backpackingJas]

@@PeterLindgren1 in that case i can be happy i just buy the osmo, its coming in a few weeks for my backpacking trip in america, thank you for the answer 😄💦

[@backpackingJas]

@@PeterLindgren1 sorry to bother you, did you have any issue with focus on the osmo and if you did how did you fix it?

[@jasonmeade9000]

Osmo Action 3’s got very impressive durability and functionality. Best part about it for me is it’s more affordable than gopro. Excellent choice for an action camera!

Yey! Next we just need a flamethrower POV... oh wait, we just had it... Now this camera has gained some character!

Whoa. That’s durable. I’ve always used GoPro but on my recent holiday the Hero 10 audio was very hit and miss to the point it ruined some scenes in my vlog. The audio on the DJI is a massive selling point, particularly for vlogging. Great job Peter 👍🏻

I’ve always wanted to buy the DJI Osmo Action but was waiting for an updated version. I think the wait is over! 👍 I know it’s water resistant, is it also water proof? And to what depth?

yup! to 16 Meters i think!

Pause at 7:21 and look at your face, extremely soft focus and in the distance it looks like you added sharpening in post to help the focus. Humm

[@PeterLindgren1]

I’ve done absolutely 0 altering to the image 🤷🏻

[@shep64]

I’ve watched over 50 KZbin videos on this camera and 2-3 reviewers said there is a focus issue. After that watchers are looking for several seconds in an 8 minute video for something slightly out of focus. One KZbin reviewer actually took the Action 3 apart and demonstrated how the fixed focus lens is glued in place but must be calibrated incorrectly. The thing I can’t figure out if the fixed focus lens is bad - how can only 5 seconds of an 8 minute video be out of focus. Wouldn’t the whole video be out of focus since the lens is fixed in place?? How can the video be sharp over 90% of the time? I do believe though that the GoPro has better dynamic range (not focus). For my use $329 is a better choice.

[@silbay]

@@shep64 Very astute, at least someone is not buying the BS being peddled by the GoPro shills
