Wow, the audio convertor alone makes it valuable.

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

👍🏾

[@ikpogs]

I love the fact that this hairstyle looks so good on you and you always stick to it.

[@alexhofvander]

I have the handle and I love it. No need for me bringing the charging case with extra batteries anymore. I skip using the protector and just let the lid be attached. I don’t do action stuff so it feels fine doing that.

[@AshiqeRasool1]

Great video! This charging handle is super useful, but the lack of extendability might be a downside for vloggers. Thanks for the info on the Artlist 100K Fund too!

[@mathiassiebert1217]

It's a bit absurd that DJI brings out a new chip and new batteries, thereby extending the usage time enormously (I've never filmed more than 3 hours in 4K in one day in my life), and then brings out this battery grip. I was already considering buying it before this video, but then decided against it because... see above. With the GoPro, I was very grateful for the Volta Stick, especially because it helped me get the overheating under control, when I filmed longer concerts. With the Action 5, I personally see no reason to buy it. Also, in the worst case scenario: having another battery somewhere in your pocket certainly won't kill you. I thought the video was cool again. And, like you, I use the small extendable Osmo stick for outdoors. I like your calm manner.

[@NickLewis]

I purchased the vlogging bundle that includes the camera, the grip and the mic transmitter. Really cool stuff but sadly my grip has not been able to charge a second time, I’m having to send it all back to DJI for a replacement.

[@micahvoss3369]

Thanks for this! I just purchased the Action 5 Pro...loving it, and, as I'm used to the mirrorless cam for vlogging, this device attahched to the A5P seems convenient. TY for showing where the 3.5mm audio jack is, DJI does not show this on their site and my mind was boggled lol. However, I agree with your position on the handle for vlogging and having the extension convenience. I also snagged the Adv combo for an unbeatable price and I love the handle, so I'm going with the setup below. For now, I'm personally going to go with DJI's 3.5mm audio/USB-C adapter, plus hot shoe adapter. Since I already use the Rode Wireless GO II mics, I can mount it easily to the case with the hot shoe adapter, plug in, and carry on. I'm wondering how many others might choose this route as well. :) Plus, as you said having the voice command 'Start/Stop Recording' is convenient, though, I found comes at a bit of a battery longevity cost. Perhaps this will be countered by the extra juice the multifunction handle provides? Decisions, decisions... Anywho, cheers and thanks for the great content!

[@gerrylee79]

I just started my own vlogging channel as a side hobby and currently use the Pocket 3. Watching this vid right here makes me want to try this model out. Love the tripod mount concept.

[@jnrmack]

You can connect the blue tooth remote on a selfe stick by using the short strap on the remote, and you have control.

[@PTPhotoGearReviews]

If you get the Adventure Combo you have 3 batteries to start with so doubtful anyone will need the extra capacity from this handle and I think you nailed it when you showed the handle doesn't extend so it will be fatiguing to use. The only reason to look at the handle IMHO is for the ease of hitting the record button but hey, everyone's needs are different. Great video and thanks!

[@albrunelle2022]

Another great video. I'm going with the extension rod for far less $$$.

[@WINDSHEAR-STUDIO]

Love your reviews. Always informative. Thanks for your time in doing this.

[@TheOneMuslim]

Great video just a quick question. Does this work with The previous DJI Osmo4?

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

Yes

[@AbellTo]

The buttons on the thumb seem a good idea but I think I prefer the wrist type controls from DJI, which adds gps data too. The action 4 battery lasts ages so not sure about the need for battery life and the fact it’s no longer waterproof.

[@EditioCastigata]

5:50 You have to actually place the words “ad” or similar somewhere visible to be compliant with the law here (EU), for ads in broadcasts. Or have an intro and outro using the word. Just fyi, not that I expect England to rejoin soon.

[@Coaster_Crazy]

I’ve looked at getting one of these because I’d love a remote for my Action 4 however I’m not sure why you would need a battery handle if you have the 3 battery pack as the batteries last ages plus I’m not keen on the silly tripod as it’s way too short to get any decent footage from it

[@IAMAYESHAJAE]

Dang girl! You reviewed and it is out of stock on Amazon until November 4th to December 6th! Geesh! Great video….I literally stumbled onto your channel a few months back and I am never disappointed ❤ keep up the good work….keep us regular (newbies) up on all the latest gear for our channels 😊

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

Thank you 🫶🏾

[@OXFORD486]

Hi... What do you think of the DJI software... Safe?

[@gowithgoldstraw]

Nice video as always. However I suspect most Action owners probably opted for the Combo version (as I did) and so already have more than enough battery capacity to hand. Plus, as you point out, you miss out on the flexibility of the extending handle. The other things is the need to rotate the camera every time you want to switch view direction, at least if you want the buttons to be on the ‘right side’. With the base setup, you just simply spin the handle around!

[@pliplipli]

Thank you for listing the shooting settings for each video. It was a great help. I'm Korean so it might be hard to convey in English, but How did you set the sharpness and noise reduction? Lastly, I wonder if the Lut is the Lut for Action provided by DJI. Subscribe👍

[@RobCharles]

Its me again Tamara on the back where you can add a 3.5 mic can you add a lark 2 in that USBC Connector?

[@QuicknStraight]

How did you think they would fit an extension, when the body contains the battery? I don’t see the problem with attaching some feet and using them as the extension. I prefer the idea of buying the Action 5 Standard kit and the charging handle rather than the Creator kit.

[@Ohmverse]

I had seen this charging handle, but I feel like after getting used to having my Action 5 on a mini gimbal, I’d be giving up too much functionality to ever use this. But I can see how it would be useful to people that don’t have or don’t like gimbals…as I started out with a standard vlogging hand grip with I really liked, and this really seems to fall in between the two. Thanks for the video 🙏🖖

[@IamJay]

1:58 where can i buy that charging port protector?

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

It comes with the charging handle.

[@stedoesstuff]

It would be good if in some future version they have a sort of magsafe wireless charging system to eliminate the cable. I quite like the idea of this though.

[@MoWesley]

I just got Mine this week and I love it. I want to try to connect a mic on top of my osmo some how but idk if there's anything out like that yet

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

Have a look at SmallRig’s cages.

[@AmericanEnglishBrent]

Huh. I didn’t dare remove that door until you did. I suppose I could now use my two DJI mic 1s with it now. I’ve just be using my one DJI mic 2. Thanks, Tamara.

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

No problem 😊

[@djxcel23]

If i was to live stream my dj sets would this handle be a good buy ?

[@RealDrive001]

halo tamara. My Osmo Action 5 Pro failed to update firmware in Mimo app. when I tried to update again, I couldn't find the firmware update in the app. How to find the firmware update. Is there a way to update the firmware using an SD card? hope you can help !

[@charithjayalath96]

I love your Content, Please give me the settings for outdoor vlogging

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

Thanks! For now, it’s pretty much the same settings I use with the Action 4 www.tamaragabriel.uk/dji-osmo-action-4-settings

[@this_ismichelle]

How is the DJI OA5 performing for you so far? Has the lower bitrate been an issue? I recently bought the OA4 right before OA5 was released and although I’m new to the cameras, I’m trying to figure out if I should keep the 4 or send it back to get the 5. What is your take on this and which one would you recommend? I mainly got the camera to film my upcoming adventure videos where there’s going to be a lot of water activities. And I want something good in lowlight!

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

Might be worth watching this comparison video kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqiWm2mEibuFibM

[@InTheVise]

Hi! Great video! I am wondering if this is compatible with the Action 4 as well?? I will buy this only for the mic input. I have had so many issues with mic cables on my Action 4 and getting weird sound quality. So frustrating when you are going to edit the video. 😂

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

Hey! Yeah, it works with the Action 4.

[@InTheVise]

@@TamaraGabrielUK thanks! 🙏

[@russellperry6155]

Thanks for the info

[@teompa]

If it could also be used as a mini tripod, it would be perfect. With 3 fast-charging batteries, I don't know if a charging grip is still needed. Maybe for camera control functions.

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

It is also a mini tripod, I forgot to mention that.

[@NosMotovlog]

Hello Tamara! Where did you found that usb door protection ?? Many thanks

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

Hey. It comes with the charging handle.

[@CurtisWarnasch]

I went back and fourth on the handle and decided to just get the extended handle and the bluetooth remote. A Bonus i get the GPS and telemetry for car videos.

[@benicio1967]

Great features. Very useful.

[@rcinematic]

What happens if you plug something else on the handle? Like an Osmo pocket?

[@mzjmhd]

could you help to test if the new a5 pro battery is compatible with a4. if yes, how much longer (in hour or minutes) is it compared to using the original a4 battery?

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

Yes it’s compatible, but I’ve not done a like for like test on how much more juice you get between the old and new battery with the Action 4.

[@hasankaragoz]

Can you use Charging handle with Osmo Pocket 3?

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

It's designed to be used with the Action cameras.

[@teompa]

Pocket 3 has a dedicated grip for charging: Osmo Pocket 3 Battery Grip. It is included in the Creative Combo version, but it can also be purchased separately.

[@hasankaragoz]

@@TamaraGabrielUK I am using it with Ulanzi PK-06 add-on. I can use it physically like this. But will the control buttons work? I want to ask

[@hasankaragoz]

@@teompa I already have the package you mentioned. DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Creator combo. What I want is to try using it with a tripod like this. I can use Action magnetic adapters with the Ulanzi case.I was wondering if the remote control works with DJI Pocket 3?

[@WeekendMilesx]

I noticed you shoot 4k25fps, isnt it recommended to use higher than 1/200th for shutter speed to not mess with electronic stabilization? Or do you just not use stabilization when shooting 4k25 on any osmo action?

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

I shot in auto exposure for this video so my shutter speed would have been above 1/100 at least. I didn’t drop my shutter manually.

[@ikpogs]

Please what camera was use to record this entire video? Looks like pocket 3 because of the blurry background

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

The Osmo Action 5 Pro shot in D-Log M and colour graded. But for the other shots where I'm showing products, I used the Sony A7s III.

What DJI should look at next, is 30-36cm(12-14ins) extension

[@LouisLuzuka]

I miss the lark m2 mic 😢

[@hi.kingharry]

can it used as a tripod? like one of GoPro accessories

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

Yes, it can.

[@allenmyers8568]

If you put an extension rod on the bottom of the charging handle, you would loose the ability to control the camera. Withe an internal extension rod, the controls would still be accessible.

[@moushgas3146]

I wish dji added zoom in/out .

[@uptowndisco2]

Do not plug the handle into the original Action Camera , if you do , it immediately bricks the handle , it wont turn or or take a charge . ask me how I know 😅, using the handle you can also turn on the Action 5 , first turn on the handle then press the QS button and the camera will turn on .

[@techbuyer]

Wondering if it would work on Pocket 3.

[@adamw1944]

It works with Pocket 3 as well. But the handle is not cheap. The price tag is $ 99.

[@techbuyer]

@@adamw1944 All controls or charging only?

[@Anto_Levo_Mtb]

Would love to see a gimbal on it. Be perfect

[@trym2121]

I'm sure this will be obsolete in OA6. They gonna copy GoPro solution magnetic charging port that also weather resistant I hope the upcoming new solution also trickles previous fen

[@EditioCastigata]

What I’m missing: An option to bolt down the action cam, or attach a counterweight to the handle. Edit: I see, this one has it.

[@creatortigasatu]

Kalo Menurut saya perlengkapan asesoris lebih keren Go pro kalo dji kenapa ya kurang keren dalam segi estetiknya

[@BurkenProductions]

😅Nice handle. But sad that dji released the action 5 like a week after buying the action 4.. sigh

[@TamaraGabrielUK]

The Action 4 is still a great camera, and currently the footage looks better than the Action 5 pro when shooting in the Normal colour profile.

[@jaimecosta2966]

Dont like the combo osmo action because of the stick bought the basic osmo action kit and the mini tripod separate.. also decided that having the camera on salty water was not a good ideia i bought the floating kit osmo action ... excelente action camera having great fun with it

It’s not worth wasting $100 to buy this DJI charging handle it does not work on DJI Action 2 only specific to DJI 3to5 better just get the smallrig 3108 tripod it's more versatile and cheaper

Appreciate you and your videos... but-constructive criticism coming- in your product videos, please stop shaking the product at me with every, yes, every word you speak. Rewatch your video here, even just the 1st 60 seconds of it: I want to see the product clearly, with stability, every time you hold it up. Please practice holding it still at all times. This is worse even than KZbinrs who manage to put "actually" in every sentence. Your street scene videos are so peaceful and rewarding but it is getting harder to watch your product videos, a real shame as you include so many good tips. Here is a thought: put that product on a tall, stable tripod next to you and then you can point at it with every word or shake your whole arm at it while the product remains absolutely still. Please give it a try, please, please. Oh, yeah, totally agree with you on lack of extension in the charging handle: deal breaker! Consider instead, in the Action 5, turn on Settings > Voice Control (works great), use an extension handle, and get the battery charge box and extra batteries. Unless your videography really needs the other features of the Charging handle.

You can spend so much time and effort to "constructively critisize" a video for it to match YOUR needs: why don't you use this energy to put down your phone or computer, record some videos, edit and publish them yourself? 🤔

[@jer3006]

@@Moments-79 Ironically, you have just done in your comment exactly what you criticized my comment for. But no hard feelings here, and I will explain again that Tamara is one of my favorite KZbin technologists for her uncanny ability to comment on the usability and results you get from a device rather than the misleading specs and marketing put out by the manufacturer. I am a subscriber who limits my subscriptions to a few contributors who I find to be forthright and knowledgeable. So, in that, Tamara matches MY needs. I like her, I like her content, I like that she wants to succeed (IMHO anyway since I don't know her). I, perhaps mistakenly, thought she might consider the point I commented on, and determine if it might further improve her videos (IMHO) by any slight margin. And to your last point, I DO record videos, edit the footage and audio in every one of them in DaVinci Resolve (okay, I'm not a colorist), and publish them myself, just not publicly or to social media. Not nearly an expert, but I am a doer. Thanks for your comment.
