By the way, how do you recommand me to use the LUT : straight on the footage then readjust intensity, contrast, Colors, etc … or 1st adjust the base , then apply the LUT (which I usually do, even if I usually need to go back to basic settings after ) and do you recommand to set contrast/saturation or just the basic lighting as the lut boosts the other parameters ? Depending on the luts I use, I don’t always have the same way of working to reach my goal. Thanks.
@TamaraGabrielUK Жыл бұрын
It’s best to get the exposure right before the LUT is applied whether in-camera or in post using vector scopes or histogram. You can boost contrast, saturation, vibrancy if you want after adding a LUT, but that becomes personal preference.

@@TamaraGabrielUK hi Tamara. Following my comment yesterday, I compared my Action 2&3 today. With nice blue sky & big white puffy clouds , Action 2 is a bit over exposed in the sky compared to Action 3 (all settings similar). To reach an equivalent image, I have to set EV-0,3 on Action 2. But I find that with sky contrast , Action 3 also deserve some correction ( even if I have to correct some under-exposed parts in post… it’s easier than dealing with burned sky !) . So my best rendering (with clear sky) is more EV-0,3 on the Action 3 and -0,7 on Action 2 to give them similar aspect. Would be curious to have your opinion on that . Kind regards

The only thing wrong with the Action 2 is the name, there is where the confusion lies. It's not really an ACTION camera. It's really a mini mode/stack cam...etc. Anyhow as far as comparisons both have the same sensors, lens, shutter speed, resolutions etc. From your samples your cameras metering angles are different, so different exposures. Even using the same camera will give different results as shown. But to my eyes the Action 2 appears to expose brighter with more details, Action 3 darker with less details, 7:04 PRINT THAT🖨 and see which photo is better?

I bought the Action 3 a few weeks ago. Mine doesn't have the focus issue. In fact it's sharper closer up than distant, which suits me well usually. I don't think too much of the quality though to be honest. There is something "cheap" about how it looks, a bit like phone footage, but I'm not sure how to explain it. Also it seems to get noisy quite quickly. I've been spoiled by the amazing quality of my Mini 3 Pro drone, and as the Action 3 is also by DJI but with a larger sensor, I assumed it would be better. Personally I don't think it is. If I put my Action 3 on a gimble I could keep the shutter speed down and turn off digital stabilisation, which I'm sure would help a lot. I may buy a gimble for it at some point when I have the money. Thanks Tamara for all your videos about the Action 3, they helped me decide on which action camera to buy.

Love the video! You really make some of the best camera/video content on YT atm in my opinion. And those luts are looking tempting. I have not used the Action 3 but I love my Action 2, even bought a second one... But honestly I am dissapointed that instead of revising the Action 2 and trying to improve upon the modular design, they went back to what essentially is 'DJI's version of GoPro'. It is just such a fun camera to use (and you will get it everywhere... not thatyou should)! I love the magnetic 'pov attachment' I mostly use it to just carry my DJI on me for quick access. The pov shots are nice, but you really need that horizontal balansing on for them to be useful (haven't tried gyroflow yet). With a third party cage, it becomes a proper workhorse for vertical video. For BTS/vertical work I've been running mine in a SmallRig cage on a U grip with the Olympys LS-P4 on the SR cage and I absolutelly love it! But I 100% agree on the durability... I did dropped both my Action 2s multiple times, and they work fine but it is stressful. Buying a screen+lens protection layer is a must (seems cheep but that's another 10 quid on top). Owned a few tough/action cameras in my time. DJI Action 2 does not feel like an action cam, more so like a piece of jewlery. You know it's gonna be fine if you drop it in a glass of water and it is. You know it will survive being accidentally dropped from your pocket's height and it does. But you just feel so wrong anytime it happens. I wonder, does Action 3 use the same app as Action 2? It is my least favourite aspect of the camera (next to it's 'delicate' feel) and I'm surprised to not see many people mentioning it. You have to download it and register your Action 2 (you can use it 5 times without registration but then it locks). It is free, and the vireless operation works suprisingly well, but I still don't like the idea that it isn't optional. I feel like a neccessity to download an app to register your product with should be something I am openly made aware before purchasing the product (ordered both my Action 2s from Amazon and it never stated it there).
@TamaraGabrielUK Жыл бұрын
Yeah, it’s something a lot of people have complained about, as is not obvious before buying one, but yeah the Action 3 uses the Mimo app and needs registering. Also, thank you, I’m glad you’ve been enjoying my videos 😊

No problem. I actually don’t mind the wide setting on the A2 and A3, I think it just comes down to personal preference.

But for simplicity and just being so nice to use, I prefer the A3, that front touchscreen is so handy as well.

Hi Tamara, great comparative. I just bought a used Action 2 (in fact it was never used and still in its blister) for 180€ ! Got the Pocket 1&2 the Action 3 (a good serial nb 😉) and needed an even smaller camera for my motorbike videos. Action 3 is far better in every aspect, and more rugged. The only + of OA2 is it’s weight, size (if only using the camera module otherwise it’s worse) and eventually stealth. I didn’t notice the difference of dynamic range you demonstrated . Maybe setting EV -0,3 on Action 2 may avoid to burn the sky and get it closer to the Action 3 image … I’ll try tomorrow with this setting and let you know … great job once again ! Love your channel !
