DJI OSMO ACTION 4 | The Low-Light Action Camera & Other Pocket Sized Cameras

[@OfentseMwaseFilms]

Damn, the Action 4 is packing heat! Even the 4K 120p is clean.

i'm actually super amazed by the action 4's lowlight capability!

[@austinmcconnell]

First time I've ever gotten sweaty palms from a camera review. 😅

[@SpaciousExpanse]

Oh, hey Austin 😀

[@sriram7454]

Seeing the squad back together (Gene, Sam, Dylan and Kari) made me so happy, brought back the memories of 2020 vlogging days.

[@pseudoincognito]

This has got to be the best "real-life" review--- combining different cameras and just making the review part of the entire real-life experience. So much better than all the other tech review channels that hardly put the tech through real-life usage in a dynamic way.

[@franklin26]

And Dylan is back...for a minute...

[@joseacarrasm]

Glad to see Sam also

[@NC17z]

This is a killer review.... you put through all the test I would want to cover. iPhone 14 Comparison was fantastic. Thank you so much for doing this Potato Jet!

[@robabiera733]

Can I just say your editing choices in this video are off the chain. Very sharp and entertaining. You're ready for the big leagues!

[@siemore]

I'm watching this on a 28 inch 4K Panel and the Daylight footage is just mindblowing. Straight up DSLR like.

[@1Know1tHurts]

Can't be. It's a tiny sensor after all🙃

[@LiamTheoCreative]

DJI is my favorite brand. I have the Pocket 2 and it’s actually my primary option to film on. I simply don’t use my canon just because I can’t afford a gimbal. And phone is great but a lot of the time I have information loaded on it and need it for other stuff

[@ajlbeer]

That's a really nice improvement. I was expecting progress at some point, this feels like a great step forward.

[@mikebomac]

Thank you sir! Cant wait to have you guys back again!

[@JoshSchorle]

Gene: Here’s everything great about the Osmo Action 4…. also… here’s a bunch of stuff I was supposed to do videos on but didn’t and here are my quick thoughts on those….

[@flat-out]

No way!!! I just ordered the Action 3 a few weeks ago still waiting to arrive and now I saw in my email inbox this morning the Action 4 is here!!!

[@williamalexanderr]

Honestly , i don’t think I’ve been excited over an action camera as much as this one !!

[@tjsn-4vision]

Bro the volleyball bounce off Sam’s chest was awesome!

[@ChadSchrandt]

Seriously best audio out of an action camera I've ever heard!

[@SkyDomeVIZE]

🤣.. loving the Top Gun recreation. Awesome video liked how you are included various cameras and opinions. Instead just the DJI promo video.

[@TheTechnoPilot]

So…it’s an Air3/Mini 3 Pro/Mavic 3 Pro (secondary) sensor…seems like they are trying to standardize the sensors they are using in their current lineup.

[@Worldpeace44444]

Loved the Top Gun beach scene…..hilarious 😂

[@AdityaDixit03]

I wanna let you know that I saw 4 different Osmo 4 review videos in my feed while I had time for only one to watch.... And I chose yours :). Worth it.

[@meirchaimo6960]

This will be able to be intercut with other footage without it looking too obvious! This is amazing!

[@TuckerPearce]

Dylan and Sam in the same video, nice… Love how you brought other cameras into this Gene instead of just shooting an ad like some creators. RESPECT this so much.

[@TonyBabarino]

Did the FIX the bad focus that ruined the Action 3? The firmware did nothing. Also, for long recordings, do the files now save as one file (like in iPhone) OR do they save as many little clips. The Action 3 using many clips for long shoots resulted in a sound "glitch" when putting the clips back into the one long shoot.

[@TonyBabarino]

@potato_jet. So…the focus is fixed? The longer one-take clips are still broken into chunks or one big file? The chunks often had audio glitches between clips.

[@DylinSnedden]

I cracked tf up at "Hi, It's me Sam, your friendly neighborhood Mexican." 😂

[@Citizen_one]

Please post the volleyball scene as a stand alone. That’s hilarious! Maybe Dylan can do a VO for it.

[@RealTBTKenya]

The fpv footage is dope!!!

[@Finite-Tuning]

Still no 1" sensor 🙄...... Imma start takin this personally now! Cheers 🍻

[@joe6185]

Finally a really comprehensible low light test. Like we know what a dave and busters looks like in life and in other recordings, not like under bridges or very specific events. I really want the action 4 now 😳

[@Gnaboaix]

Can you elaborate why you prefer smaller sensor with faster lens vs bigger sensor with slower lens? Or anyone who can elaborate it for me please, much appreciated!

[@mainelyhobbies]

I think a ton of people are waiting on GoPro and will be disappointed... this thing has great audio, seems to overheat less, magnetic click mount and a larger sensor... GoPro needs to really step it up with a big update and lately its been pretty small stuff so I suspect it will not surpass this.

[@MichaelJMelo]

Imagine they did this all by the 4th version…. Meanwhile GoPro is going on its 12th…….

[@mainelyhobbies]

@@MichaelJMelo ​ to be fair.. GoPro existed in like 2003 when they had to actually create the tech and when DJI made their first action cam it was just a clone of the GoPro leaching off what GoPro grew for a userbase with millions in advertising and using the mounts gopro developed. Seems like GoPro started to slow progress after their Karma drone failed... like it's been tough for them to recover financially to make the developments needed.

[@MichaelJMelo]

@@mainelyhobbies Right… they’ve had a head start of 7 versions of hardware. But does anyone care? When people are choosing a camera, they don’t care about how it started… they just care about performance and end results. How many times did we beg GoPro for a selfie screen before they finally added it? How many times are we going to complain about overheating and glitches? How many times did we ask for better low light capabilities? GoPro needed the DJI action to light a fire under them. I, like you… are hoping that it leads to an amazing GoPro.

[@Marc-io6pv]

Good test and the arcade was a great location. I want one for filming in a nightclub and hopefully is somewhat comparable.

[@everyonehatesfrauditors765]

I predominatly film my bands - lowlight and flashing lighting rigs - terrible for a camera to cope with - my gopros nearly coped but I'm sick of the unrelability - you've sold me on the 4!

[@vivekmurmu]

low light quality at 3:40 is amazing from such a small form factor.

[@BlkMambaFPV]

I’m excited for the camera. I have always been a fan of the DJI Action series of cameras. When I got the action 3, I knew it wasn’t going fly on my drones often and I use it as a vlog camera. I’m really interested in testing the Action 4 in low light situations for fpv.

[@mohannadh1794]

So many gadgets in one video! Very satisfying

[@samk2407]

That's pretty impressive, I'm watching on my phone and the difference is obvious

A moment of silence for those who bought the Dji Action 3 recently. 😅 This is why I always search for the leaks. I knew about it few weeks ago.

[@zoukeane2196]

Bought a 2nd hand Action 3 adventure combo at a standard combo price. Honestly i really hope i can trade in for an action 4 sadly

[@empressdoinalot]

Loool. I bought the action 3 last Thursday, for my boyfriends birthday at the end of the month. I was looking for when the action 4 was coming out but didn't see anything on Google. So yesterday, when all these videos dropped... I was like 'f**k off' 🤣🤣🤣. Put the action 3 in for a refund and just ordered the 4 today from DJI. My boyfriend thinks I'm crazy but he'll thank me later.

Great video. I'm glad I waited for Action 4. Can you share the link for the nacklace mount/stick thing that you're using in the first minute of the video please ?

[@kevinhearts616]

Way better than any go pro

[@MartinFransson]

Daaaamn, that low light and 4K120... I still use the original Osmo Action (the first one) and I´m highly tempted to get this one!

[@mobilechaosyt]

Rode ME can use multiple microphones (sold separately) and you can use the GO 2 TX with the internal recording. The benefit of the ME is that it can connect to an iPhone or Android phone using the lightning or USB-C cable without needing adapters. However for the price the cheap $20 wireless microphones have great audio quality.

[@KevinLe]

dang that action 4 has a really, really good internal mic!

[@stevetranchell6568]

Great video. The Osmo Action 4 is fantastic. What model of neck mount were you using?

[@tictac9074]

I have one from telsin, looks exactly the same

[@MythieGaming]

I have the action 3, and I put a wind sock for my old GoPro on it. Basically a foam jacket that goes over the whole thing, and acts as a wind muff. Unfortunately, it does cause higher temps, so there is some trade off there.

[@sonnivega6739]

finally a fpv camera for club and nightlife

[@DariuszTech]

Such a great device. Looking forward to get my hands on one myself 😊

[@sNaKeBiTe6788]

I would have liked to see a comparison to the insta360 one rs with the 1" lens. I feel like this is the direct competitor to the action4, rather than a Go 3

[@JasonSturgess]

[@LoightaFluwid]

The canon v10 is just disastrous. Don't know what made canon think it was a good idea to sell those. Even image stabilization on looks useless.

[@AtletaFulltime]

you are 100% right.

[@rogeriogomesosorio4755]

The question is: how long will it take to overheat? And for how long will you be able to record before it shuts down? Great job, as always. Big fan.

[@michaelbyrne8238]

DJI and Insta360 keep going for bigger sensor and open aperture but I don't like how it blows out the sun. The one thing I like about the hero is the closed aperture helps with the bread and butter of action cams which is outdoor action. At least the round lens frame on the Action3/4 allows easy rigging of GND filters to stop down the sky.

Do they still have infuriating 4gb file size limit? Thanks, as always, for the fantastic video. I have bought every DJI pocket and action camera and love them all.

@jariperho exactly. But he say it like if you film in 8bit .you should delete that video because its garbage. This is what I feel behind his tone .when it's not the case at all

@jariperho did you read my first comment ? I said I applied heavy color grading to 8bit and 10 bit and saw no difference. Plus all his videos colors looks normal. Nothing heavy about the colors

[@A.Edilbi]
