[@timoklap]

As a long time gopro user ( 2011-2023) last year i ordered my 1st action4, i have 5 dji drones and the cameras are amazing. I find thr dji action 4 sooo much better, releyeble, easy to use, better build quality and so many other reasons that i boght an 2nd dji action 4, also the mic 2 and gps remote. That video sayd it all. Could also add lightcut free editing app that dji lets you use and dji care refrech service, for 2 year its only 35€, and if somehow you hapen to brake the camera... for 19€ fee you get a new camera in 3 days posted to you, no questions asked! Sametime gopro charges 50€ subscription for year and 100€ to replace the camera

[@Life_of_John]

Have had gopro for years. Now have an 11 and a 12. Have a dji mini drone and osmo pocket 3. Very tempted to go for an action 4 and get rid of gopros. What do you think? Thanks.

[@timoklap]

@LifeofJohnG would be the best decision ever, with better quality, longer battery life, awesome customer support, a free editing app, and good camera performance.

[@dochealgood]

I still use my two Osmo Action 1s and I haven’t found an excuse to replace them. They’re still working great!

[@MartinFransson]

Same here. Although I added an Action 3 for the 4K120...

[@HaroldKuilman]

My single Osmo action 1 died after salt water got in while swimming (less then 1m deep) so I just upgraded to the 4. Would have sticked to the OG if it was still fine

[@dochealgood]

[@dochealgood]

@@MartinFransson I thought about adding one of the 360 action cameras.

[@HaroldKuilman]

@@dochealgood so far so good, it's just like the original but better

[@ExplorationReborns]

This is my first (action)camera, and after watching your video I can proudly say I was right choosing this over GoPro

[@DexterDavidDexterSD]

I use the DJI action 2 for my fpv drone and I can relate to most of these points. Easy mout/unmount. Very good user interface as compared to GoPro that lags and freezes a lot. No corruption of files. Easy to charge quickly and offload files. Great app. Very good price, at least for the action 2. 4k 30fps is all I use and then scale it down to 1080p 30fps.

[@CINE_SPARK]

Bro what about battery backup

[@DexterDavidDexterSD]

@@CINE_SPARK I generally fly for around 10 minutes in a single flight so the battery is enough. I connect it to the power module as soon as I land so it recharges to 100% quickly for the next flight while the videos are transferring to the micro sd card

[@FlyingBeardMan]

There's another great thing about the Action cameras: The lense cover glass is super simple and cheap to replace. I cracked one on my Action 3 and replaced it for spare change that afternoon. My Action 4 even came with a spare one!

[@markylon]

[@sherwinm]

One thing no one mentions with DJI cameras is with macOS, you can connect it via USB cable and it will mount the storage card. I have a GoPro 11 and the most annoying thing is it won't mount the storage card. I would have to open the Photos app and import that way. I don't want to import it in my Photos library. So I have to remove the media mod case, eject the micro sd card, use a card reader adapter, get a usb-c to usb-a adapter to connect the card reader... sigh. I wish I knew this before buying the GoPro 11.

[@torubeat]

good to know! thanks for this detail! I'm trying to decide between these 2!

[@nicolassmith9629]

Yep! Fell in love my with my first drone, DJI Mini 4 and was overdue (Hero 8) on a new action cam…saw the adventure kit at $399 and scooped it up. It’s a no brainer. Grab it if you still can. 📸

[@teompa]

A low light mode for DJI Osmo Action 4 would be welcome, as it is with DJI Osmo Pocket 3. Action 4 does quite poorly in low light, at night with street lights. Pocket 3 films unexpectedly well in low light, but it has the disadvantage of being very fragile.

[@bendikjohnsen]

Thank you! This video came just in time as I literally grabbed my action 4 yesterday! I haven’t opened it yet, but now I’m 100% confident that I can open it, not worrying whether I will be happy with it or not😊

[@rafisburganov]

Thanks for the video! One note from me though - in reality, for an action camera, you need to set your SS to x4 of your FPS minimum to ensure image stabilization algorithms works properly

[@ilverocallo]

great video! thanks...i'm starting my youtube channel and i think i need an action cam. i didn't know wich one, hero 12 or action 4 but now i know...action 4!

[@LanielPhoto]

Charging batteries is not more important than how long they last in the camera. How long can you do video work with the battery in the DJI ? Is it longer than the GoPro ? If so, you won me over. If not, then I like the longer lasting battery, specially since I can carry spare batteries all pre-charged.

[@Chlo_ippy]

DJI lasts longer as the Gopro12 overheats before the battery has a chance to run flat

[@itr0863]

thanks for the video. i literally just ordered the adventure combo. what a deal.

[@Bchsjdejsjd]

Nice video! Wich camera do you think is the best for skiing? Hero 12, x3, ace pro or action4?

[@mustbescud]

First off, gopro who? lol. 2nd if you dont want to worry about framing yourself, just record and forget go x3. For video quality Action 4. Only thing i like about ace pro from every comparison videos ive seen is its abilty to shoot in low light settings. So unless you find yourself shooting in low light alot then i'd consider Ace pro. Other then that A4 ftw. Remember, watch videos regarding ace pro that aren't sponsored by insta360. When you find those unbiased videos you'll notice ace pro is not that good

[@mustbescud]

Also, I have the x3, and use it for skiing. I mainly use it as a reference/self observation to get better, and x3 is really good with that. But when it comes to quality its just ok imo. Hoping to get an A4 in the future.

[@aaronmelson2887]

i have the 3 and love it. gonna wait til the 5 to upgrade.

[@angorwheels]

i'm considering one of these for my next motorcycle trip. how long does the battery last recording at 4k??

[@CiroAbreu]

some reviews show this camera doing 80 Minutes (1h20min) in 4K 60fps.

[@CleanStreakPressureWashing]

The Action 4 is a good action camera, but after owning the Pocket 3, I am hoping the Action 5 gets the same 1 inch sensor.

[@indraneeldutta]

Why so?

[@chemareasalbaticiei]

I will buy it when they will put bigger sensor, i need an action camera with low light capabilities for city vlogging and also use it for fishing on my chest...streetfishing at night...

[@erichauser725]

It has good low light. Just turn off stabilization and stabilize in post. It records gyro data.

[@chemareasalbaticiei]

@@erichauser725 i will wait for the next action camera, i hope they will put that 1 inch sensor... i cannot use that poket 3 unfortunately on my chest...that one is good in low light, i hope they will put that sensor in action 5...and it will be the perfect action cam

[@BikesBobbers]

​@chemareasalbaticiei it does great at night if you shoot log with no stabilizer. You can do it in post, and it works great for my night time moto-vlogging/ early morning fishing

[@IanTed]

Paired with the Bluetooth connectivity of the Mic 2 this camera is perfect for moto vlogging, just upgraded and it really is a game changer👍

[@sloany22rfc]

I'm looking at camera for my rides, never done anything like this before so I'm a newbie so can you tell me about your setup?

[@ne-adv]

I finally had one of my four GoPro Hero 6 Blacks fail. After six + years. To be fair, I use them wrong. I run them at 2.7K 60fps. I use 400GB and 512GB SD cards, even though they say no bigger than 256GB. I NEVER use a battery in them. I directly power them with a external source using a special USB-C cable stick on mount that makes them "water resistant" either from a USB port on the motorcycle or a battery brick in a pocket. All of the use has been on a motorcycle and I film continuously 12 or 16 hours at a time (depends on whether it's the 400GB or 512GB chip) I run them in the rain, without the USB-C door on the camera, just that cable. How big a SD will the DJI Action 4 take? Can I externally power the DJI WHILE recording? (The GoPro Hero 6 Black is stupid. If the battery is in it and its externally powered, once the battery is charged, it tells the charging brick to turn off and tells its battery to run from battery, and it will run itself dead without ever allowing the external power to charge it, until it has been turned off, so, starting with a dead battery, I can film the 45 minutes it takes the battery to charge and the 45 minutes it takes to discharge. Not the 12 hours straight I do without a battery) What's the DJI's battery behavior? Will it constant charge while recording? Or charge only when off? Does it stop charging once the battery is full and being used? I don't want to buy the DJI because I cannot seem to get any answers to my questions. With GoPro, they said running without a battery voids the warrantee, using 400GB SD voids the warrantee, using it in the rain without the charging door voids the warrantee. That's a big "who cares" since the warrantee ran out after a year and I still have three working like day one, with all that warrantee voidance. But they are getting hard to find.

[@ioandragulescu6063]

while everybody loves the quick charging battery, including me since I got one, I wonder if DJI is sacrificing battery life for this. We will see I guess.

[@alexravera2492]

Amazing explanation like always!! I'm now thinking to get one but I'm not sure between the DJI Action 4 or the INSTA 360 RS. What you think would be the best?

[@RobHK]

Between the RS and action 4, i would personally get the Action 4

[@dochealgood]

I have one of the DJI Osmo Actions, too. It’s such a big investment that if it were me, I wouldn’t trust the fact that it’s supposed to be waterproof, but I’d get an underwater filming protective case for it. They don’t cost that much and it’s an added layer of protection.

[@CaptDiwral]

Well you just saved me a few dollars 😂 Originally I carted the Dive package and then added the batteries and charger. After you mentioning the adventure pack I went do some math and I literally saved like $30 bucks by getting the Adventure package and buying the dive case seperately. Its not much but thats offsets some of the other accessories like filters and a case

The main thing is night walks and the fact its not bulky, I would of opted for the pocket for better image quality and stabilization but it has a reputation for being fragile, while the action is more rugged.

[@MarianMoisii]

I use DJI action 4. Unfortunately, the camera does not expose correctly either in manual or auto mode. In auto mode the ev should compensate by + 1 minimum but instead of being at +1 it reaches -2 and I am underexposed, in manual mode I am correctly exposed but the backroand is overexposed. I understand that the sensor is not too big, but it should expose correctly, as does my phone, which has a much smaller sensor than this camera.

[@jrperezphotography]

Thank you your review are always awsome. Question Ive given up on GoPro just traded in. I have the GoPro Volta do you thing I will be able to use with the Action4. Charging should work but it would be awesome if the remote features would work. You said you would pick the Action4 over all action cameras, why not the Insta360 Ace Pro?

My experience hasn't gotten off the ground before I sent it back. I really wanted this camera, but after the five time I used it before I had to download the app. The Osmo app is not capable with my Samsung phone, so that makes it useless to me.

Can we use dji 4 with a drone?? And what drone (on a budget) would you recommend???( Need it for my u tube videos!)

[@dochealgood]

I looked into drones. Drones are complicated by the fact that if you’re not licensed to fly a drone, then you can really get into trouble. You can get in trouble if you fly into the wrong airspace, too, even if you have a license. You also have to register the drone with the FFA and have a flight transponder. I got a Telesin 3m Selfie Stick to simulate low flight views, instead. If you do go through the trouble of getting a drone and becoming a licensed drone pilot, you can make money doing real estate videos and stuff like that.

[@Abdurrahman.Safari]

In case of motovlogging, after connecting the external microphone that is kept inside the helmet for commenting, does the camera mic is automatically muted to avoid a wind noise recording at the same time?

[@trist.subhajit]

Yes, same with all action cams. The moment you connect ext mic, cam switches audio input to that and turns off built in mics.

[@sams.1502]

Since you have both the Ace Pro and the Action 4, how much of a difference would you say the 8k is in terms of image quality compared to the Action 4? I've seen some really nice 8k footage but I'm not sure how practical it would be (regarding recording latency and transfering / editing the footage). Not sure if the 8k outweighs the OA 4 cheap price and the ability to connect a usb-c directly to the OA4

[@RobHK]

Hmm hard to say, 8K is cool but not something ill use since its limited in frame rates. Biggest plus for me on the ace is free frame. But Action 4 has d-log m which i can’t live without these days!🙌

[@CaliforniaTravelVideos]

Like all cameras, be sure to allow 30-60 minutes to adjust their lens temperature to the temperatures of the shooting area. The problem is when you have your camera inside with comfortable human temperatures, then quickly go outside and start shooting when it's very hot or cold... otherwise your lens will fog up for 30-60 minutes until it adjusts to the ambient outside temperature. I've experienced this in Giza when getting off the cruise ship and jumping into got weather as well as jumping out of the warm car at the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco on a cold 40 degree day with very damp fog.

[@MrsGraphiteGal]

It took a day to download the mimo app and get the camera connected. It took a boat another 3 days of KZbin research to figure out how to get through the settings and actually operate the camera only to find out that my phone will only download h264 video, so great another 2 days of KZbin research to figure out how to set the video to record H264 mode, now great i can film and try again. Not so much, i tried and retried even a video 1 minute long i get a message saying the file is too large to download, also can't get it downloaded to desktop pc either, so now what. Some of you guys that give such high praise to this (what to me amounts to a $500 paperweight) need to point out some of these flaws, or at least discuss for newbies that they may need devices with a little more room than they currently have to be compatible with this product. Very discouraging.

[@darylsummer1424]

Hey, just so I can understand about the transfer of the video files (H264 or H265) can't you just remove the sd memory card and insert into the laptop slot or an USB sd card reader on your PC? I use a usb card reader for the videos from the DJI Drones. I use Power director to edit and produce the final video in whatever format you choose.

[@jeffmccormack9285]

This reply was a while ago. I was very discouraged that I couldn't download any videos to my phone like everyone claimed that I could. I don't care what anyone says, the videos are not going to be able to be downloaded to the phone. I did manage however to download the videos filmed in H264 mode to my 10 year old PC. I am at least happy that they could be downloaded somewhere. I am new at all this and I found out the hard way that maybe the DJI Osmo Action 4 wasn't for me but it is what it is. What i would like to do is fit my scenic motorcycle rides, download it, edit it (maybe with music playing in the background) I am now doing my research on computers for this purpose. This again is proving to be frustrating. Can anyone advise me on a computer that can handle what I want to do? You know how much RAM, processor,SSD, graphics card........etc. I am hoping to get away under $1000 but I can be somewhat flexible. Any help is greatly appreciated.

[@darylsummer1424]

@jeffmccormack9285 PC specs required for video editing are very high if you want processing of the edited video to be completed in a reasonable amount of time. My minimum specifications would be: i7 12th gen or higher, 32gig ram, 1TB fast SSD, and the best video card you can afford with a minimum of 16gig vram. RTX4070 or higher.

There's one little issue I have with DJI Osmo 4 which I didn't have with my former GoPro9. When snorkeling, the background colour changes sometimes deppending on the light available at the moment, deppending on the sun orientation, it's something that didn't happen to me with the GoPro and it's a bit annoying because it ruins some footage underwater. Don't know if you get my point. What I mean is that all of a sudden the "blue" water turns "green" water deppending on the light the sensor is receiving... Any way to sort this out? Maybe by changing the colours in post edition?

[@affinity4vanlife]

My test, experience: this information is hardly mentioned on KZbin. Set your OSMO Action4 to at least 1/160sec or better 1/200sec in Rock Steady mode (digital stabilizer). The stabilizer is overwhelmed with longer exposure times and you get unusable, blurry images. So you can forget about the often recommended 25/30 images with a 50/60sec exposure time with ND filter "Motion Blur" (180 degree rule) for smooth images. You almost always need digital stabilization switched on with an action cam.

Why do I see so much blur in the video while you're moving with the dji 4? I'm deciding between gopro 12= insta360 ace pro and dji action 4

[@rikt1541]

an this be used to take still pcitures?

[@markoskoda]

wait, wait?! Action 4 dont have Stabilized HDR 10bit????

How long in practice does a single battery charge last? Taking off a horse riding helmet out in the middle of nowhere(when using as a hatcam) to open up a camera and change a battery is absolutely not practical. If it only does an hour that's fairly pointless. 🤷‍♀️ Needs to do at least 2 or 3 hours.... and how secure is that magnetic mounting system on a helmet?

What's wrong with it in low light? is its not better than GoPro for that?

[@Mahmut-yf2xb]

It's better than GoPro but worse than Pocket 3

[@Jaydoublyou]

@@Mahmut-yf2xb I just got mine and I can confirm it’s difficult in low light. I needed something I could wear on body for pov driving videos and pov night time photography videos. I can make it work but I’m nervous about the results. I almost want to mount my iPhone but I’m using my iPhone as a b or c cam sometimes so not a permanent solution

Nice review Rob, back in your favourite vacation spot I see.

[@RobHK]

Haha thanks mate! But no. These are just clips i saved for this video from our last trip! Im still rocking the good cold blue🥶😅

[@Rizzlyricist]

Awesome 🤘🏻

[@carloscarvalho1961]

Hi. Does it freezes like the Gopros?

[@RobHK]

No

[@WonkyMovie]

Одно из самых полезных видео! Благодарю вас за ваш опыт. Моя камера уже едет ко мне и я её очень жду) моё мнение относительно action 5, я очень хотел бы посмотреть на проект Dji и hasselblad. И тут главное не растерять все плюсы которые уже есть в камере и преумножить их.

[@RobHK]

Thanks mate🙌😎

[@Valleedbrume]

Action 4 is a better camera.(former GoPro user.)

[@shadowraptor1417]

hello my friend i want to ask you about the size of it does it fit to a pocket jeans or do it pop up in a weird way if you could assure me with a 1-minute video about this i would be appreciative
