The biggest problem I ran into with the action 4, I had an outdated phone and it would not run Mimo. After spending $400 on the Action 4 package, I then had to then buy a new more modern phone. DJI only gives you 5 chances with the Action 4, then they brick it until you register with the App, there is NO OTHER WAY to register. I found this out when I called DJI customer support. Total scumbag move on DJI. This practice should be illegal! After I bought a new phone, I got it up and running, I am VERY pleased with the quality, Aside from the Mimo App crap, I really love this action cam!
Same I was so excited about getting one, worse part is that it's even banned from Play Store so you have to sideload the app, that's a big no-go from security perspective.
@@TomashGhzegovsky That was one of my big hesitations when it came to deciding which one to buy; the GoPro 12 or the Osmo 4. I felt really iffy having to side-load the app.
@@Matt_Dylan Taken from Google: "Sideloading is the practice of installing mobile apps on a device that are not from the official app stores. This is typically done on a rooted Android device or a jailbroken iOS device. Sideloaded apps can be dangerous because they may contain malicious code and have an unknown security posture."
The MIMO app is the reason I’m getting the Acction 4. It works so well with the Pocket series. The GoPro app is so shit it makes my teeth ache. Dji asks for your email address when registering - so what? Use a burner account if it bothers you.
@@steve4321able I really don't know. I opened the app and my camera doesn't automatically connect. It doesn't automatically update firmware. It does auto detect if the camera is on, so in theory they could brick your device. It really didn't register as a problem when I bought the camera but I am sympathetic to the criticism.

I've had the original Osmo Action for almost 5 years now. Never has it locked up, not got the shot, lost a file or any of the disasters you hear of from GoPro. Why don't I have the newer Osmo? Umm.... Not having money, and the one I have works so well.
I don't know if it's better because I've never used that camera. This isn't a 360 camera. Sounds like apples and oranges to me. Thanks for watching, use my link if you buy the DJI! Like and subscribe!
@@Matt_Dylan insta360 is a brand and they indeed have 360 cameras too, but my question was about their model Ace Pro which is not an 360 camera, it's an action camera.
The DJI Action Cams are just wonderful! I use them in Real Estate on the road and in POV all the time. PS. The Sony A7Siii (our main camera) does well in low light. 😀 PPS. Stay away from GoPro for so many reasons.
Edit: The action 4 is half the price. That's an easy choice for me. Buy this camera unless you absolutely need a 360 camera. I can recommend the action 4. I can't comment on any products from insta360 because I haven't used them or had any contact with them. The reason I would choose the DJI is because they have been around for a long time and I've had a really good experience with every product that I've touched from them. If I needed a 360 camera then I would go with the insta360 because I don't think there are any competitors. If you do decide to buy this camera, use my link in the video description please. Like and subscribe please! Thanks for watching.
I bought the DJI Action 4, but i was disappointed because i can't use bluetooth remote / mic from other brand. gopro user can use telesin remote... actually there is no point to buy DJI mic 2, so that why DJI lock the user to use DJI mic 2 with action 4.
It sounds better when you record your audio separately anyways. So buy whatever mic you want and clap to sync up the audio track on your camera with your microphone.
hello, i wanna get one because i want to take good photos, is it much worse than say iphone 15? i dont wanna spend much money on iphone 15 just because of its camera for photos:/
You cant fight physics. Except if you have an iPhone 15. The sensor is bigger on the Action 4, however the extremely wide angle can make your photo look distorted without the high computing power found in cell phones. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, I'm just saying that you will only be able to take very wide angle photos. That means warped edges. You aren't gonna beat a cheap camera with a real lens and it definitely doesn't compete with the iPhone. For video, yes. For photos, I would think about getting a Pixel or iPhone. Samsung can go straight to hell. If you do buy a DJI Action 4, please use my link in the description.
Samsung warranty department destroys equipment instead of repairing it. There's been stuff on the news and they destroyed my monitor display instead of repairing it. Fuck Samsung. I'll never buy any product from them again.
i bought one then i bought 2. Feel free to check out some of our recent dive vids but i have found it is also extremely useful as a film cam as you describe. Can even use the thing as a really clean webcam which let me easily interact it to my live stream software i developed
This is the first I've heard about the action 5, but if I had to guess, it probably isn't going to be a bigger jump than the 3 to 4 was. Thanks for watching! Like and subscribe!
Most of the time they only update minor things about the next camrea and all the bugs and updates with firmware they gotta go through once a new camrea release is sometimes a pain. But I appreciate your input for sure.

you dont need the fx30 at all. And more, you don't need a Gmaster FF lens on an apsc sensor. Just don't buy these if you're enjoy the action camera style :)
You're not wrong. The thumbnail says it all. This is the next step up from your cell phone. But I really don't regret buying the FX30. Or this fancy lens. I have put them to good use though. And it was only after I used my cell phone for 3 years making hundreds of videos. If I had known about DJI, I probably would never have bought the FX30. And I probably wouldn't have bought a $500 11 mm lens either.
I think my definition of lowlight is different than what you're thinking. To me lowlight means that I need a flashlight or night vision. Even the A7siii isn't going to handle that right?
