I have a year round Whale Watching tour business in Monterey Bay, California plus I am a pilot and I fly around in my little plane. If I am off doing both of those activities then I am on my motorcycle and touring from CA to Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Oregon and Washington... If I am off my motorcycle too then possibly I am in my RV, camping by a river and fly fishing! Many opportunities to film great scenes but I am NEW to action camera filming... Hard to be old and behind the technology and trends. But I am catching up! Wait for my masterpiece videos! ;)
Besides the Dji 2 microphones they also have a new Dji mini microphone that only weighs 10 grams, but has no internal storage. You can also buy the mini 3 different ways you can buy one individually or one with the receiver and transmitter or with 2 mini mics and a receiver
My thoughts are if you already have a mic 2, then the mini is not needed. No internal storage and no usb c charge port meaning you need the separate cradle to charge it. It's not like the mic 2 is too big either... But if DJI want to send me one, i'll do a full comparison... 😁
@@timarnoldpt also you can buy it with a case just like the 2 and it has all the buying options as the 2 the only big difference is that it doesn’t have internal backup storage
: Does it get warm, while recording in 4k....? I got mine...and the front screen area, gets warm, after about 15 minutes in 4k60....and after 25 minutes in 4k30. I use this camera for just walk n talk or on a hike. would like to know if this is normal....🙏
Can't say I have noticed it getting warm, or at least warmer than perhaps it should. But, I have a follow up video planned and will cover this very topic!
I tested it at 4k 24fps, 30fps and 60fps, each time for 30 mins indoors, the screen/s did get warm but nothing that I was particularly concerned with. But please don't take my info as accurate, if you are concerned I would reach out to DJI and ask them, they are pretty good with their customer service. :)
Hi from Australia. Really enjoyed the video. Especially the tips to set up simply for good quality and easy use. I walk Caminos through Spain and have used a Go Pro Hero 7, so for me this will be a good upgrade. Not high action..... but a great way to capture all the day to day landscapes and people!! And better low light performance will be an advantage. I will set up as you suggested when I get it! Cheers.
It's a bit annoying that DJI's video editing program only runs on smartphones. I hate that. I hate working on such small screens. It drives me crazy. DJI could definitely improve on that.
I hear you! Editing on a smartphone is like trying to do brain surgery with chopsticks-definitely not ideal! DJI, if you are reading this, can we get a desktop version, please?
Excellent video Steve and as a fellow ‘student of videography’ I think you nailed explaining the tech settings and colour profiles👌👏👍 I plan to use my recently acquired action 5 for some future bike rides…. hopefully…one day …in the not too distant future 😬🙄 (Ps I think recognise the area you’re in as have often walked my dog there on Sussex coast local to me😁)
Glad you found it helpful, get out there on that bike and press record! Unless it is cold/wet/windy/cloudy etc, in which case wait for the fair weather, I would 🤣.
I suspect it is too soon for them to put it on sale, the Black Friday email I received only lists the action 4 and/or 3 so they must have stock to move of those first...
Good morning Tim. This is an absolute dream of a video!!! Thanks so much for the recording. I have sub' and liked. The DJI mic 2 is an item that i havent purchased yet? is it worth it. I will be using the Pro 5 for vloging my fishing adventures...
Good morning! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! The DJI mic 2 is definitely worth considering if you want to enhance your audio quality for those fishing adventures and vlogging too.
It’s crazy how fast things can change in the tech world! Exciting times ahead with the MicMini announcement! Im not sure if it is worth it if one already has the mic 2, they are SMALL as it is, but if not, then defo worth considering.
Thanks dude, appreciate that. I would say wait, for now. Unless the extra features on the 5 are something you would make good use of it probably isn't worth spending the money. I jumped from an old go pro so was defo worth it for me. If I was in your shoes, I would wait.
I have both the 4 and 5 and I’ll say wait for the 6 except if you’re like me who need longer battery life which is the only reason I got the 5 and I’ve not been disappointed.
@@OJKENNY the battery life is pretty decent, i will be testing it in the cols and snow of the mountains in a few weeks to see how it performs there too.
When it comes to altitude I wonder why nobody ever thinking of flying? I am a pilot with a small plane and love to record my flights like many of my other pilot friends are doing. So, I got myself a 5 Pro and setup to your recommended values. If my videos suck I'll hold you responsible and if they look great then we both know I've made a very intelligent choice and all credit goes to me! But seriously, thanks for the informational video!
Pilots... “I’m amazing, you’re not, you should be more like me” 🤣🤣🤣 That’s a great point about the altitude, would be interested to know how accurate it is.

How do you use your action camera?
I dont
🤣 love this
Not used it for any action yet… using it to vlog and for pro work like stage shows.
That is the versatility of them now. It can do (almost) everything :)

very nice review, calm voice tone. well done, keep the good work !!!
Thanks dude, appreciate it 👍
Amazing 👏
Any tips for night shots?
Currently putting together a video covering exactly that. It will be going live on the 20th December.
Interesting video.
The color software, is only on the phone or also a desktop version?
Either, you can download for your Mac/PC from the DJI website or, use their own app on your phone 👌
Hello ..can you kindly explain to me the uses of d log, u lut, i log..ty
follow up video on the way and will cover this too.

@@timarnoldpt but for people like me that is just starting and don’t have a big budget it’s a good option
@@timarnoldpt also you can buy it with a case just like the 2 and it has all the buying options as the 2 the only big difference is that it doesn’t have internal backup storage
@ 100% it’s a good option if just starting out/looking for a good external microphone. 👌
Nice one mate… I bought the OSMO Action 5 recently, I used it on a stage show using just the standard setting and it came out really well in 4k.
The standard settings are ace! If you just want a quick solution then they are the way forwards. Same with the Osmo Pocket 3 too.
: Does it get warm, while recording in 4k....?
I got mine...and the front screen area, gets warm, after about 15 minutes in 4k60....and after 25 minutes in 4k30.

@timarnoldpt : That'd be great.
So, this does happen then...
Just wanna confirm that I didn't get a defective unit.

But please don't take my info as accurate, if you are concerned I would reach out to DJI and ask them, they are pretty good with their customer service. :)
@@timarnoldpt : Will do that...

Hey, thank you and thanks for watching too, glad it has helped. A follow up video is in progress, which will cover the low light stuff.

For real. Need it on PC please DJI
I use a tablet and it gives more real estate to work with.......
Thanks for your tips! i'll try on my Osmo Action 3 (except Texture, Noise and D-log... of course) Greetings from Argentina
You're welcome, keep an eye out for my up coming pocket 3 video later in the week. :)
Thank you very much great ınformatıon about DJI Cameras

Great vid Tim, looking to pick one up during Black Friday but they're being tight and are only putting the action 4 on offer
I don’t think it’s going on sale. The action 4 only went on sale in January
I suspect it is too soon for them to put it on sale, the Black Friday email I received only lists the action 4 and/or 3 so they must have stock to move of those first...

Great video! I have the Action 4 not sure if its worth the upgrade or wait until the next iteration.

Great camera, use this and the Pocket 2 🌴🏖👍

@@Twizzforsberg love that, get creating dude. 👍
@timarnoldpt Thanks like you thats the funniest
Great video Tim.
