After this video was released, DJI has upgraded the camera software that includes 10.bit colours and Rocksteady+ (insane crop) I still setup the camera the same way, I only choose 10.bit instead and this force the camera into H.265 compression.
Hi, I'm currently trying to find the best setups for vlogging, especially moto vlogging... I'm using the new firmware and while I was very impressed with RS+ (I use that whenever i dont mount the camera vertically, then I use HorizonSteady) I noticed that my footage started showing annopying screen jitters when I started to use an ND8 filter and fixed shutter speed. Apparently, and many YT videos seem to say the same, most action cams including my Action 2 and Osmo Action3 seem to have issues with the stabilisation quality when using ND filters and manual shutter settings. I'm hoping to reduce or eliminate this by going back to RockSteady (not plus) and maybe minor settings adjustments (shutter speed)...
@@maxx2174 Yeah, i have this as well on cloudy days or going into areas with a lot of shade! The camera need more or higher shutter speed to work well! So i think it is around 1/200 or 1/250 that is the best shutter speed on this camera
@@TheCBRider86 good point... I've never considered to turn stabilisation off.. but i might try that on my next ride along with the nd filter and manual shutter just for a test...
Just tested mine on a bicycle ride , followed your instructions on how to edit. Really impressed with it , the stabilization is really impressive. I have a GoPro too but this camera is so much better.
I see that more and more motorcycle riders prefer the DJI over GoPro. I guess it has most to do with the freezing and corrupting files issues, but yeah. I'm really impressed by this camera, and nothing is better for us than more competition on this market 👏🏻
Before i was about go with gopro but after watching lots of review and your's too, now I'm about to switch towards dji action4. Nice information as i was searching. Thankyou, love form India❤️💐
Thank You! I recently bought the Osmo Action 3 and looking for help to get the most from it so I really appreciate your demonstrations of using it and Davinci software.
thanks so much for tips color grading, I just purchased my first dji action 3 and I don't really know how to use it for great edit, then I've seen your video pop up on my fyp, its great to learn this less than 15 minute
Thanks, I already have my Action 3 for almost a year now and I do use Davinci Resolve but up to now I always just used auto white balance and the normal color profile. The color page in Resolve just looked too complicated. Your 6 minute introduction looks easy so I decided to throw some appreciation your way and bought the LUT. Now I'm waiting for a bit of nice weather to go out, shoot some footage and start to play with this myself
It looks way more complicated than it is. When you get the hang of what Lift, Gamma and Gain does and how little work can change the picture quality for the better, there is no going back. Really looking forward for better weather myself. The winter hit us hard this year, so still a lot of snow here. Cheers
Hey Thomas! this was so helpful! I just got the adventure combo, OA3 for a great price brand new! Very excited about this, going to try and record some of my rides this year! What I experience as I get older, is I really like to look back at pictures of old trips etc, it means more and more to me. I realized I never really had taken so many pictures, and never really any video. Hopefully that will change now!
Great to hear this Daniel. Really glad it was helpful and you found it informative. And i have to agree.. looking back on pictures is one thing, but looking back on trip videos is something completely different and is so much better (in some cases) i really love to do both. Video for everyone, and photos mostly for my self and the family’s. Cheers
Just bought an Action 3 and was a bit disappointed with imagery. Will give it another chance with your colour grading and settings. Your are right , operation of this camera couldn't be better. Thanks , learnt a bit more about Davinci too.
How do you use the camera and what did you find disappointing? I’m quite happy with the camera for my use, but with that said, i use my camera only for action shots with a lot of movements etc. Glad the video helped. Cheers
@@tshansen At present I got it to mount on my ebike to record rides. This is satisfactory. Still lacking a great deal of knowledge regarding cameras. Have a pocket 2 though and close in it is crystal clear unlike the action 3 lacking detail and " muffled " . Background lacks detail.
@@philsmeanderings7991 I saw a video where a guy put glasses in front of the camera and it become so much sharper So there is probably a lense issue with some of the cameras, not something to fix in firmware
Very complete information. It really helped me decide on the Action 3. Let me know which helmet mount model do you have? it looks very functional. greetings
Exactly! I'd pick the Action 3 over the GoPro Hero 11 any time! The quick charging feature add to that a much longer battery life, those are big factors why I picked the Action 3 instead of the GPHero11
Yeah, when it comes down to real time use the DJI just win every time. Even if the spec sheet is better on the GoPro, it just lack to much features that is important in day to day use
Here the osmo 4 and go pro 11 are about AU$469 ( US$ 314), and the osmo 3 is au$270 ( us$181 ). I think for my 1st camera the osmo 3 would be ok yes? Save me some dollars too 😂
Hi! I just purchased a Osmo action 3 and it's my first action cam. I have to learn a lot but this video already points me in the right direction! What program are you using to run the LUT for colour correct your videos? I want to use it for driving so your setup will be something I will try to achieve as well.
Yeah, and if you invest in the DJI mic, you Get crazy good motovlog sound from the helmet! Best setup for this type of filming. Glad you found it helpfull
As a rider I am always interested on how professionals use and setup their action cam and editor. Hopefully I can get some pointers. I see you switch to Yamaha T700. Nice. I guess you got tired of the issues I am experiencing like warped front rotors, coolant leak, slight oil consumption, cold start on one cylinder, etc. Still a fun bike. Thanks for video.
That is nice to hear mate. I consider making some more behind the scenes where In practise show of how I work, what I look for and how I edit it all together. Not sure how to put it all into a watchable video or series yet, but it is a fun project to work with. Yeah, the T7 World Raid suits me and my needs better than the KTM. And like you mention, all the small stuff just got to my nerves. I just can't have a bike that is getting old with so many issues and not get it covered on warranty. Cheers bud, glad you liked it. Cheers 🍻
Looks awesome, nice of you to show how easy it could be to just adjust the colors a bit. Will probably order the action 3 later this year. The only downside for me is the mic directions. With the gopro media mod i could choose to only pick up the sound from the rear shootgun mic, no external mic needed then. Maybe need to try the windslayer thing 🙂 have to try the LUT thing aswell 🙂
Yeah, i have heard different feedback with the media mod on the gopro, never owned it my self, but people have some struggles with it. The windslayer makes a huge difference, and i will have the LUT uploaded tomorrow, the link did not work, and I’m at work today.
Remember that you can hit shift+d to turn off/on all nodes. A lot quicker than select all nodes and use cmd+d. shift+d also works in the edit page btw.
Indeed Pål, I'm so used on turning just one node on and of at the time it is easy to forget. I work so much with keyboard shortcuts it is really hard to remember to tell what you do when working🤣 Did you see that Davinci is coming for iPad as well now 🤩
Great video. I have ordered the action 3 in 2024 as a B roll cam to compliment the Ozmo 4. I was able to get a new one off of Amazon for $194.00 U.S. which I think is an absolute steal considering the quality of the action cam.
@@tshansen Some of the early models had focus problems but that was corrected about 3 months after the issue became known. I'm sure you'll enjoy the hero 12.
Always a treat when I get a notice you have created a new video and thanks for the tip on wind noise reduction and I ordered one for my Osmo Action (first edition). Stay warm my friend :)
I mounted the exact windslayer you showed on my action 3, and in 15 minutes my camera overheated in 72 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade, and my camera shut down.
@@tshansen I was shooting 4k at 30fps with rock steady on. I wonder if you were shooting 1080 and that's cooler? I so loved your idea. I thought it was brilliant.
@@tshansen You only use the windslayer on your motorcycle, where you probably don't sit still and idle more than 5 minutes? And then you're at 40 mpg/80 km hr or more for good wind cooling? Mine was on a tripod for 15 minutes in my shop, with maybe a tiny fan breeze on it, or maybe no fan. I just thought of that.
I hear so mant struggle with this on GoPro’s. Me personaly have been really lucky with my hero 7! Not many bug’s or feeze, but i have run trough way to many batteries 🙈 they have not last long for me!
@@tshansen my hero 5 black works 100%. Hero 9 black was a nightmare. I still use hero 5 as a second camera but replaced the hero 9 completely with the osmo action 3. No regrets!
Enjoyed the video, thanks for the LUT! Color grading the DJI has been more challenging than my Nikon gear. Also, glad to see you haven't noticed the focusing issues, I haven't either which makes me wonder if it is specific batches of units.
Thank you so much Christopher, appreciate the support and the coffee ☕️🔥 Action Cam, and their colours are always a little bit difficult or challenging to colour grade, but I find this lut helps me a lot. And make it so much easier to have a consistent result. Yeah, I have seen a lot of videos about this, but I think In some of the cases it is just the lack of sharpness added from the camera compared to the gopro. Wide lenses like this will always have focus issues in close ups. But I'm no expert. I leve it up the others to speculate in this. I'm happy with mine so far 🎥 Cheers
Thanks for your vid, Thomas. The DJI looks like an easy-to-use cam, making life on the road - ah - easy. But the image quality of the latest GoPro tempts me. I use fully closed transparent underwater boxes for action cams. Bulky? Yes, Sir. Sturdy? Yes, helps a lot when dropping them (offroad). All the best from Nürnberg/Germany, Günter
Good evening Günter, yeah… it is really strange that such small changes can make such a huge difference in usability and wanting to use the camera in different situations. Everything that is stress free or without hassle will be used more often (in my book) Well, dont you struggle with the sound when you put it into those boxes? Can just remember how it was back in the days when we had the first generations of GoPros. Cheers mate
@@tshansen Good evening, Thomas. These boxes do work well. You get some sound (cam mounted on chin or mirror), but you won't get deafened. Only when I install it next to the Transalp's engine on the side crash bar it gets a bit noisy. I have to turn down the volume in post production. But these boxes make life on the road trouble-free. Good that DJI keeps GoPro innovative ;-)
I never use my action cam in low light. The sensor is just not big enough. You could try to crank the iso up to 1600 and see how that will affect the image, but don't get your hopes up.
Ty for share. I am not a specialist, I just try to understand, but, I if u put on dlogm , it make a flat colours footage. So it's normal that ure vidéo without lut or corrections is bad looking. U can't compare it with the final corrections. I would want to see a comparison between a normal footage and a dlogm corrected
Well, if you not sure if it is worth it, just stick to Normal footage and be happy about it. The reason you want to shoot in D-Log is to match it up with other color profiles and get more flexibility in post. Some want to have the full potential in cameras like this, others don't care and that is fine.
Great video with a lot of information. But could you please help me ? I also have a DJI AC3 + windslayer but the result sucks ... I even have a big plexi so far what you don't have. What are your settings ? Wind reduction on/off ? Channel mono/stereo ? Directional audio off/front ? And then any specific adjustments in the davinci resolve ? .. and a lot of times the audio sounds like the volume is jumping up and down. Very annoying
My settings are: Channel - Stereo. Noise reduction - on, Directional Audio - Off.... In DaVinci I drag the clip down to the timeline, right click on the clip and Normalise audio Levels, then I use the Sample Peak Program, and use -9 dBFS.... Try that and see what you get?
Nice cam position. More view. Dji and go pro are awesome camera. Thank you so much for sharing your fantastic video. Good luck and more success for you 👍. Greetings from your new fans
Thank you so much, glad to hear that. I will do even more trying and experimenting with even more camera angles in the upcoming season. Stay safe mate. Cheers 🍻
Thanks for the video Thomas - it'd be great to see a comparison of normal colour vs graded d.cinelike for those of us that don't know if we can be bothered with the added effort... cheers!
I may do a follow up on this in a future video. It all depends what you are planing to use your footage for and if you are planing to do some colour correction. If not, use normal colour profile. Cheers
Glad I could help Mike... just get out there, capture footage and dear to fail, Try and see what you can make of it, and try again until you nail it. Cheers 👏🏻
Perfect walkthrough for setting up the camera when using the footage as part of a video edit with color grading! 👍I would think most of this is valid for any use of the camera, not just for capture video when motorcycle riding. Need to check out these ND filters. I can understand the need for it on bright sunny days, but do you use it outdoors on cloudy days as well?
Yeah, this settings would be the same for anyone who use this camera. Yeah, it looks like freewell is the only one that offers ND filters at this time! But i guess polarpro is not far behind. Yes i use ND-8 on cloudy days 👏🏻
Real nice video Tjommi, pro show! To me it was interesting to see your reasons to go for the Osmo over the Gopro and ofc all the tips and tricks, they apply for the Gopro as well. You got me into the windslayer some years ago, a no-brainer improvement. Nice studio!
Thank you Tjommi 🤩 Yeah, i needed a camera that made life easier and the less hassle it is to use, the more i will use it. I bet you know the difference yourself after getting the gripper mount? The windslayer makes such a huge difference. The studio is coming along great. Nice to have a own man cave 🔥 Skål 🍻
@@tshansen Thats the thing, make life easier with all these gizmo's needed 👀😂 the Dango Design Gripper is definitely one of these things as well. I have a room at home that is used as a store (go figure) that could be a man cave instead, bet You have a 🍺 or two in the cave! Cheers Tjommi, for all the good things to come up 🍺🤌🏻
@@Braapncamp Haha yeah, we are funny that way. But i just love stuff that makes my day easier or lighter. Well, there you go! You’re new project. Make the old store to a own mancave!!! That is a no brainier Tjommi 🤩 Cheers to that, a lot of existing things to come 🥃
Nice work. I almost bought this at launch. It is softer than the gopro 10 and 11 with less detail, but still gives a pleasing image to my eye, and seems more practical (no overheating, etc..). What put me off is the lack of gyro files for post stabilisation. 10-bit colour was also said to be coming, but there is no official announcement form DJI on this or the gyro file. Given people have been asking for gyro data since the Osmo 2, I'm not sure DJI is interested. currently I'm holding off to see what any firmware updates bring, and how the gopro 11 mini stacks up.
Thank you mate, well... I read somewhere on the DJI forum that the 10-bit is on its way. But with that said, when you compare the 8bit and 10bit difference in the gopro 10/11 there is not that much of a difference. I would love to see a bigger sensor size and 10 bit in next years model or year after. For cinematic footage, the DJI wins without a doubt. Do you really need gyro data with the rocksteady? For my usage with action cams, I have never missed it. I have it for my Sony a7s iii but rearly use it there as well? The 11 mini looks really interesting, but the internal battery made me stay clear. We all know how the sessions camera did 😇 Thank you for this comment. Cheers
Thank you mate, I absolutely love the World Raid, such a fantastic bike for my needs. I don’t regret changing from GoPro to DJI for one second. Amazing camera. Hope you can make use of this settings i apply on my camera. Cheers
Great video, I really enjoyed learning and now I am motivated to review all my moto vlogging video and create more. Thank you. I have a question, please let me know what type of helmet mount do you use to get this footage ? Looking forward to more of these great videos.
Wauw what a great action cam! Plenty of opportunities to fine-tune my video's for so far I can see 👌and it looks a lot less bulky than the new GoPro. Thanks for the video!
Yeah, i’m really impressed by this camera and the ease of use is just incredible compared to my old Gopro. It is a bit smaller than my gopro 7, so i bet it is even smaller than the gopro 11.
Thank you for this video. Are you keeping the shuter speed on auto when you using the nd filters? I learned to set the shutter speed twice the frames per second (24 frames are 1/50 Sec). br Dan
Do you take any precautions when you are leaving the camera on the side of the road for filming yourselfe driving past? In practice it will take some minutes to take these shots.....
Yes, I make sure it is safe and on the outside of the road so I dont disturb traffic or others that may pass me. I have had a couple of cars slowing down thinking I was the police or something. But normally where I ride there is not a lot of traffic so you manage this quite fine. I don't take any chances. And it has become second nature for me to "look" for spots that can be a good frame to pass by. Yes, it takes a little bit of extra time, but I plan out the day and know what parts I want to focus on when shooting. Cheers 👏🏻
So much appreciation for this content! It's nice to have the D-cinelike picture profile available on the Action 3! The normal color profile is great but d-cinelike is incredible especially with all these amazing luts available to us now!
Thank you Robert and glad you found it helpful. I notice that the Dynamic range in D-Cinelike is way better than Normal. It looks like you loose some details in the shadows when you put on the lut, but as long as you edit and correct the footage on the nodes before the LUTS you retain the details. Just amazing
I really like what you do with your Sony camera, with the drive-by? type shots. Do you plan to do a video on that camera and how you use it, and if not, can you say which Sony it is, and what lens you typically use?
I have a couple of videos planed about camera gear and how I use it with some practical examples. But then I need to wait so I can go ride my bike again. early spring is a good time for content like this I think. I will try to show what camera I use, how I plan for certain shots, how I setup and do all the practical outside on the road. The sony I use is a Sony a7s iii with a FE4/24-105 G OSS lense. expensive combo, but what an amazing tool it is. Keep in mind, I use this in professional work as well.
@@tshansen Looking forward to those videos. It seems pretty clear that you must be a professional photographer/videographer of some kind…or should be anyway!! I’m all of 8 months into this as a hobby, and your videos, and what it takes to make them, convince me that I still have so much to learn! I appreciate you telling me the camera and lens you use because that can be quite confusing for a novice to figure out, and I really like the feel of your shots. Now to figure out a less expensive way to do it is the problem! Add that to your list of video ideas please!! 😁 Thanks for taking the time to reply!!
@@twobikesandadrone i have been a hobby photographer my whole life, and it is just the last year i can say that i’m a professional videographer. I just have a huge passion for this and love to learn and become better at the craft 🔥
Did you experience any heating with the windslayer? Where i live, the temps go upwards of 38C 😅 BTW, just bought my OA3 Standard combo. wanted adventure combo, but unfortunately it was not available where I live :( Remaining to test out the sharpness. Got the 11/2022 batch.. hopefully it does not have the issue😖
No, i have not have any heating issues with my camera at all. But keep in mind, here we have cold weather almost all year around 😂 But from what i can see online there is not many heating issues with this camera. Cheers
Hello from France ! Found your nice videos by chance. Just got my motorcycling license last year, still learning (and will always be). Your videos are "selling" well Norway! Now I want to go there! I have a question: is the Osmo Action the only camera (and the drone, of course) you bring with you to film your roadtrips? I tried to bring my hybrid camera (Nikon Z6) in my roadtrips, but between the hassle to get it out of the bag and the fear of having it damaged or stolen, I ended up using my phone most of the time both for filming and shooting stills. I'm now considering buying the Osmo 3 instead, but I also love to shoot and film people and places with a proper camera. Not easy to favor the trip or making pictures!
Hello my friend. Really glad you found my channel and thank you for taking the time to watch and write to me. I also bring my Sony A7S iii as my stationary camera, that i use for most shots. The Osmo Action 3 i only use for riding footage. I understand you are scared for your equipment, it is expensive, but i treat it as a tool. I need it to do the job, and make sure my equipment is insured. I could not go on trips with a poor camera. I’m way to interested in it.
You look like you were lucky with getting one in focus. I've already went through two with the out of focus issue. The plant workers didn't screw in the lens properly on some units.
I have seen some people online that had to return the camera 4 times before getting a proper one. Real shame that so many people have issues with the camera. So they have found the reason for the focus issue now? I guess this is not from DJI them self? More people who have found out by them self? Cheers
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. I recently bought the OSMO Action 3 and am now looking for a good solution to attach the camera to my motorbike helmet. What mount do you use in your video?
Thank you Sir… in this video i use the gripper mount from Dango Design… but i got a new mount before this season that i glued to the helmet that is way smaller and lighter, the reason i liked the gripper mount so good was the ease to take the camera on and off the helmet. Now with the new magnet quick release it is much easier to take it off and on, compared to the GoPro 👏🏻
Yes, that is why I got back to the Hero 12. The DJI Osmo Action 3 is almost useless in shadow areas and overcast. You need between 1/200 to 1/500 shutter speed for the rocksteady to work.
Man great video, i read in more video tutorial, this: "the motion blur effect dont work if the rokstady stabilization are ON" with osmo action3, its true or not? Set: nd filter, 4k 25fps, shutterspeed 1-50, iso 100-800!
Well.... to understand the whole motion blur effect you need to understand what shutter speed does to the image. For normal movement you need a shutter speed of twice the framrate. like when I'm walking around I have 1/50 and a 25fps footage. (PAL region) but when you start moving faster. like a motorcycle, you can have higher shutter speed and still get the motion blur. Like 1/200 is good for riding footage, but the rocksteady on the Osmo Action 3 is so intense, it needs really high shutter speed to work. up towards 1/500 and this will take away the motion blur. If you put on a ND filter, you will only get shaky ruined footage. The micro jitters are intense. This is why I'm not using the Osmo action 3 anymore and got myself a GoPro Hero 12 🙌🏻
Wow great video review and also the bonus of color correcting in Davinci Resolve. I really love Davinci and the new 18 version is really fast for rendering... Have the Osmo action original and just ordered the action 3 this evening from DJI..
Thank you Dave. Davinci is a great editing software I really enjoy working with. It has so many great features and the speeds are great. Hope you enjoy the Action 3 as much as I do. Cheers
@@mike-e-moto4615 You are welcome mate, and good luck with getting the information you are searching. Always appreciate a new follower, thank you 👏🏻🔥 Cheers
When you set the whitebalance, that sensor does not matter anymore, it only helps when you go from like say indoors to Outdoors, or down in water with auto whitebalance 😉🔥
How is the digital stabilisation of Action 3 coping with those ND 8/16 filters? Onboard footage looks quite decent with no glithing due to the low shutter speed making RockSteady crazy. Do You use them all the time just switching between 8 and 16? Thanks.
I only use nd8 or no ND at all because of what you describe! The rocksteady is terrible with low shutter speeds! On bright days i use ND8 and cloudy days i run without a ND 👏🏻🔥
I don’t think so… from my experience it is more like the camera lack digital sharpening applied in the camera so you need to add this in post. But i can’t see how it is out of focus. Need to do some more investigation and pixel peeping.
Thank you! Great information. I just got my Action 3 two days ago and I will be using it for motocross videos. I will also be buying the Divinci Resolve software in a few days and I like the demonstration you did, very helpful. I'm finally moving away from my Garmin Virb XE cameras mainly for the better stabilization but I hate the thought of losing all the GPS features of the Garmin. I'm going to try and use two cameras, one Garmin and the Osmo with the Garmin software and hopefully get the GPS info and overlays on the video. Thanks again.
Congrats on your new camera mate. And buying the Studio version of Davinci Resolve is worth every penny. Damn this software is just so damn good. Keep in mind that the colour page gives you way more freedom and options to tweak your footage. I just did a really simple explanation of how you can get a good picture from your camera. Tried to simplify it a lot. I never used the Garmin camera my self. Is the gps data that good? use it to record laps or where on the track you are when filming? need to look more into this. Cheers
I absolutely love the Garmin Virb XE and the fantastic software that goes along with it as I have three of those cameras. The software does multicam editing and the cameras are very user friendly. These cameras came out about the time of the Hero 7 and they were superior to GoPro in every way but GoPro had the name and Garmin didn't catch on. Garmin came out with the Virb Ultra which was a terrible cam and then they made a 360 cam which was also terrible and they got out of the camera business. None of the other makers have the GPS features that Garmin had. In my videos I only use about 10% of it's capability. The cameras of today have much better stab which is what I'm after.
@@MainJet158 Learn something new everyday. I have heard alot about these cameras, but never facts like this. I know they tried to jump on the trains, but as you say. They did not have the name and I bet most did go for the gopro or sony at that time. Thank you for this info 👏🏻
ruclips.net/video/SzqOIz2THpo/видео.html I don't know if you watched any of my videos but this one shows the GPS and the picture in picture and later the reverse view. Can't believe it's raining today. just got a small sample of footage with the new camera to play with, see ya.
@@MainJet158 do i remember correctly ? We may be able to get gps data too using 0a4 and some extra tool or the use of the app for recording ? Think i heard/read something somewhere….
@@tshansen i have read that he color temperature sensor is built into the letter "O" of the logo on the front of the camera. Will it not have an impact on this?
@@2wheeledgreco271 That is correct… the sensor is behind the O. But if you plan on going under water, you take the windslayer off. You should never have the camera on white balance auto, you should set it manually, and adjust it slightly in post for the best colour accuracy when it comes to action cam.
@@tshansen Oh okay, im a total noob here 😆 but what i dont understand... If you set a given setting for the white balance, and you plan to film a road for 20-30 min, are there settings good for all the condition during this time? Maybe you'll have some darker areas in the woods amd then bright again on open roads... Or am i missing simeting
@@2wheeledgreco271 that is fine, we have all been there! White balance is hust how cool or warm your colours look! So normal daylight is about 5600 kelvin. On cloudy days you want to set it for 6000 on bright days you would set it closer to 5000! Inside a house with normal warm lights you will probably want to set it closer to 4000! How bright a image looks in shaddow area is depending on shutter speed, iso and F stop 🤩
Hi. Thanks for the video. I just bought an Action 3 and I'm a biker too. Can I ask where have you mounted your camera when you're riding the bike? Is it a chin mount or a chest mount? Thanks.
@@tshansen Thank you very much! Now I have another problem, when I use the Lut, the colours really sucks, the blue looks radioactive…. Don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
@@Paulschen100 that is because you try to apply the lut on more than one node, or you have shot the footage in normal colour space! This lut only works ok footage shot in D-Cinelike
Just been trying this camera out and I’ve got to say as much as there’s a lot of positives over the go pro, I’ve been experiencing audio problems with external mic within the helmet. The gain doesn’t turn down enough and there’s distortion especially when the visor is down. Maybe this could be cured with a software update, I’m gutted I was really hoping with was going to be the one.
I never use my action cam with external mic, so i can’t give you my experience with this. But i guess there should be better options to regulate this in camera? 🤔 Maybe easy to do with software update? I’m not sure. My GoPro was starting to mess up my footage at the end of last season, so i really had to change that camera out. I have not got that much experience with this camera yet, but i will only use this as my action cam from now on. The gopro is retired ☺️
beginner question, if the camera is centered on the chin mount that means the lens is not. Does it matter and is it worth putting a couple of short arms to correct for that offset?
@@tshansen tnx for the answer. Indeed it doesn't seem to matter. Looking at vids from people who center the cam vs vids from people who center the lens, I don't see any difference, especially since people are not statues when riding a bike, they move around :)
Hi Thomas, just stumbled onto your channel and your subscribers went +1 :). I was wondering what helmet mount your using (as seen on 0:07), currently i have the HJC C80 helmet which has a similar front ventilation hole. It's quite the effort for finding a right / compatible mount. Looking forward to upcoming videos.
Thank you so much Andy, really appreciate that 🤩 Always nice with new followers. I use the Gripper mount from Dango Design. That fits really well on most helmets. In 2023, I will try a new clue on mount from Aliexpress that is custom made for the Krios Pro Helmet. The only reason I do this, is because of the magnet quick lock mount on my new Osmo Action 3. I'm in need of a mount that I can quickly take on and off. Cheers
Hello mate, glad you found it helpful, i have no idea if the ND filters for action 1 will fit! I don’t think so, because the action 3 looks like a slightly larger camera 🤔 looks like freewell filters are a little bit different
After this video was released, DJI has upgraded the camera software that includes 10.bit colours and Rocksteady+ (insane crop) I still setup the camera the same way, I only choose 10.bit instead and this force the camera into H.265 compression.
Hi, I'm currently trying to find the best setups for vlogging, especially moto vlogging... I'm using the new firmware and while I was very impressed with RS+ (I use that whenever i dont mount the camera vertically, then I use HorizonSteady) I noticed that my footage started showing annopying screen jitters when I started to use an ND8 filter and fixed shutter speed.
Apparently, and many YT videos seem to say the same, most action cams including my Action 2 and Osmo Action3 seem to have issues with the stabilisation quality when using ND filters and manual shutter settings.
I'm hoping to reduce or eliminate this by going back to RockSteady (not plus) and maybe minor settings adjustments (shutter speed)...
@@maxx2174 Yeah, i have this as well on cloudy days or going into areas with a lot of shade! The camera need more or higher shutter speed to work well! So i think it is around 1/200 or 1/250 that is the best shutter speed on this camera
If you mount on chin helmet why use rocksteady? I do not … too crop also
@@TheCBRider86 good point... I've never considered to turn stabilisation off.. but i might try that on my next ride along with the nd filter and manual shutter just for a test...
@@maxx2174 did you test ride without? You can see my result on my latest short

Great tutorial
Thank you sir, appreciate it 🔥
Recently purchased the Action 3. This information is just what I'm looking for. Thank you !
Glad to hear you found this video informative mate 👏🏻 And congrats on your new action cam 👏🏻
Finally! Someone to make my Bike Rides easy to grade. Thank You & Thank You for the LUT. Working perfectly with the Action 4.
You are welcome mate. Glad you liked it 🙌🏻
Just tested mine on a bicycle ride , followed your instructions on how to edit. Really impressed with it , the stabilization is really impressive. I have a GoPro too but this camera is so much better.
Great to hear that mate. Cheers
that black foam case in the most genius idea ever !!!
it is really effective and cheap 👏🏻
Can you do something this comprehensive for the DJI Mic 2 regarding motovlogging? Great video.
I can sure try, but keep in mind i don’t motovlogg, so having a mic inside the helmet etc is noting I normally do
Moved from GoPro to DJI a long time ago, love the original and the Action 3 is perfect for motovlogging…
I see that more and more motorcycle riders prefer the DJI over GoPro. I guess it has most to do with the freezing and corrupting files issues, but yeah. I'm really impressed by this camera, and nothing is better for us than more competition on this market 👏🏻
Before i was about go with gopro but after watching lots of review and your's too, now I'm about to switch towards dji action4. Nice information as i was searching. Thankyou, love form India❤️💐
You are welcome brother 🙏🏻
Thanks for a fantastic channel!
Are you a professional photographer?
You are welcome sir 👏🏻 well, I’m not sure if i’m a professional, more a passion for photography 😉🤌🏻
Thank You! I recently bought the Osmo Action 3 and looking for help to get the most from it so I really appreciate your demonstrations of using it and Davinci software.
Great to hear that mate... glad It was helpful. Cheers 👏🏻
thanks so much for tips color grading, I just purchased my first dji action 3 and I don't really know how to use it for great edit, then I've seen your video pop up on my fyp, its great to learn this less than 15 minute
You are welcome mate. Glad you found it helpful. Cheers
Great tip for the windslayer case!
Such a easy and simple solution to kill the worst baffle sounds
Hey thank you for the tips! Could you please tell me what chin mount did you use for the camera?
It is the gripper mount from dango design 🔥👏🏻
Thanks, I already have my Action 3 for almost a year now and I do use Davinci Resolve but up to now I always just used auto white balance and the normal color profile. The color page in Resolve just looked too complicated. Your 6 minute introduction looks easy so I decided to throw some appreciation your way and bought the LUT.
Now I'm waiting for a bit of nice weather to go out, shoot some footage and start to play with this myself
It looks way more complicated than it is. When you get the hang of what Lift, Gamma and Gain does and how little work can change the picture quality for the better, there is no going back. Really looking forward for better weather myself. The winter hit us hard this year, so still a lot of snow here. Cheers
Hey Thomas! this was so helpful! I just got the adventure combo, OA3 for a great price brand new! Very excited about this, going to try and record some of my rides this year!
What I experience as I get older, is I really like to look back at pictures of old trips etc, it means more and more to me.
I realized I never really had taken so many pictures, and never really any video. Hopefully that will change now!
Great to hear this Daniel. Really glad it was helpful and you found it informative. And i have to agree.. looking back on pictures is one thing, but looking back on trip videos is something completely different and is so much better (in some cases) i really love to do both. Video for everyone, and photos mostly for my self and the family’s. Cheers
Is there anymore benefit to using this camera then using your cellphone ?
Just bought an Action 3 and was a bit disappointed with imagery.
Will give it another chance with your colour grading and settings.
Your are right , operation of this camera couldn't be better.
Thanks , learnt a bit more about Davinci too.
How do you use the camera and what did you find disappointing? I’m quite happy with the camera for my use, but with that said, i use my camera only for action shots with a lot of movements etc. Glad the video helped. Cheers
@@tshansen At present I got it to mount on my ebike to record rides. This is satisfactory. Still lacking a great deal of knowledge regarding cameras. Have a pocket 2 though and close in it is crystal clear unlike the action 3 lacking detail and " muffled " . Background lacks detail.
@@philsmeanderings7991 I saw a video where a guy put glasses in front of the camera and it become so much sharper So there is probably a lense issue with some of the cameras, not something to fix in firmware
Very complete information. It really helped me decide on the Action 3. Let me know which helmet mount model do you have? it looks very functional. greetings
Glad to hear that mate! I use the gripper mount from dango design 🔥👏🏻
@@tshansen Thanks a lot!
Exactly! I'd pick the Action 3 over the GoPro Hero 11 any time! The quick charging feature add to that a much longer battery life, those are big factors why I picked the Action 3 instead of the GPHero11
Yeah, when it comes down to real time use the DJI just win every time. Even if the spec sheet is better on the GoPro, it just lack to much features that is important in day to day use
I will buy one for my motorbike licence test.. Thanks for the tips!
@@hanoitripper1809 go for the action 4, not the 3 🤌🏻🔥
Here the osmo 4 and go pro 11 are about AU$469 ( US$ 314), and the osmo 3 is au$270 ( us$181 ). I think for my 1st camera the osmo 3 would be ok yes? Save me some dollars too 😂
Awesome, I especially found value in the Davinci Resolve piece, just starting to use it myself and figuring it out.
Great to hear! And glad you found it helpful 👏🏻
Great set up for the Action 3! I'd try this when I get my camera soon! Thanks for the tutorial!
Cheers mate, glad you found it useful 🔥
very nice video🎉
Thank you 👏🏻
Hi! I just purchased a Osmo action 3 and it's my first action cam. I have to learn a lot but this video already points me in the right direction! What program are you using to run the LUT for colour correct your videos?
I want to use it for driving so your setup will be something I will try to achieve as well.
Glad it was helpful Pieter.. I use a software called DaVinci Resolve 18. You can find it for free at bit.ly/3yifLJ7
Thanks for the pointers! I'm just thinking of trying to motovlog this time! I guess I picked the right actioncam.
Yeah, and if you invest in the DJI mic, you Get crazy good motovlog sound from the helmet! Best setup for this type of filming. Glad you found it helpfull
As a rider I am always interested on how professionals use and setup their action cam and editor. Hopefully I can get some pointers. I see you switch to Yamaha T700. Nice. I guess you got tired of the issues I am experiencing like warped front rotors, coolant leak, slight oil consumption, cold start on one cylinder, etc. Still a fun bike. Thanks for video.
That is nice to hear mate. I consider making some more behind the scenes where In practise show of how I work, what I look for and how I edit it all together. Not sure how to put it all into a watchable video or series yet, but it is a fun project to work with. Yeah, the T7 World Raid suits me and my needs better than the KTM. And like you mention, all the small stuff just got to my nerves. I just can't have a bike that is getting old with so many issues and not get it covered on warranty. Cheers bud, glad you liked it. Cheers 🍻
Thank you! What do you recommend 2.7K/60 FPS or 4K/25 FPS for motovlogging in normal speeds?
4K 24,25 or 30 depends on your region
Díky!
Thank you so much mate. Really appreciate the support 🙌🏻 Absolute legend
Thanks ! Previous OA1 vlogger, and now sold so going to add this in January. Great help. Subbed from Scotland.

WHY 4K AND 25 FPS IT WILL NOT BE SMOOTH WHY NOT USE 1080P AND 120 OR 240 FPS SO ITS MORE SMOOTHER
@@tshansen
Looks awesome, nice of you to show how easy it could be to just adjust the colors a bit. Will probably order the action 3 later this year. The only downside for me is the mic directions. With the gopro media mod i could choose to only pick up the sound from the rear shootgun mic, no external mic needed then. Maybe need to try the windslayer thing 🙂 have to try the LUT thing aswell 🙂
Yeah, i have heard different feedback with the media mod on the gopro, never owned it my self, but people have some struggles with it. The windslayer makes a huge difference, and i will have the LUT uploaded tomorrow, the link did not work, and I’m at work today.
Remember that you can hit shift+d to turn off/on all nodes. A lot quicker than select all nodes and use cmd+d. shift+d also works in the edit page btw.
Indeed Pål, I'm so used on turning just one node on and of at the time it is easy to forget. I work so much with keyboard shortcuts it is really hard to remember to tell what you do when working🤣 Did you see that Davinci is coming for iPad as well now 🤩
lol 360 camera. search on yt for how to!
6:00 as I know, there is a mic on the top of the case too, where there is the speaker too...
From what I can see and gather of info from DJI there is no mic on top?
Great video. I have ordered the action 3 in 2024 as a B roll cam to compliment the Ozmo 4. I was able to get a new one off of Amazon for $194.00 U.S. which I think is an absolute steal considering the quality of the action cam.
I’m not happy with my Action 3. almost like i think there is something wrong with it. So i upgraded to the gopro hero 12
@@tshansen Some of the early models had focus problems but that was corrected about 3 months after the issue became known. I'm sure you'll enjoy the hero 12.

Always a treat when I get a notice you have created a new video and thanks for the tip on wind noise reduction and I ordered one for my Osmo Action (first edition). Stay warm my friend :)
Glad to hear that Mike, always appreciate your comments and nice to hear you got a windslayer as well. Those things works wonders.
I mounted the exact windslayer you showed on my action 3, and in 15 minutes my camera overheated in 72 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade, and my camera shut down.
That sounds like a issue with the camera? I have had no issue with overheating with mine 🤔
@@tshansen I was shooting 4k at 30fps with rock steady on. I wonder if you were shooting 1080 and that's cooler? I so loved your idea. I thought it was brilliant.
@@weldersandblaster i shoot mostly in 4K 25, so i’m quite amazed it overheat
@@tshansen You only use the windslayer on your motorcycle, where you probably don't sit still and idle more than 5 minutes? And then you're at 40 mpg/80 km hr or more for good wind cooling?
Mine was on a tripod for 15 minutes in my shop, with maybe a tiny fan breeze on it, or maybe no fan. I just thought of that.
I bought the action 3 after years of disappointments with shitty gopro software.
So far I have had zero bugs with this Dji camera.
I hear so mant struggle with this on GoPro’s. Me personaly have been really lucky with my hero 7! Not many bug’s or feeze, but i have run trough way to many batteries 🙈 they have not last long for me!
@@tshansen my hero 5 black works 100%. Hero 9 black was a nightmare. I still use hero 5 as a second camera but replaced the hero 9 completely with the osmo action 3. No regrets!
Hey man, great video, what is the chin mount you are using pls? Looks very easy to put on. Thanks!
It is the gripper mount from dango design 👏🏻
Takk. ❤
Bare hyggelig
Enjoyed the video, thanks for the LUT! Color grading the DJI has been more challenging than my Nikon gear. Also, glad to see you haven't noticed the focusing issues, I haven't either which makes me wonder if it is specific batches of units.
Thank you so much Christopher, appreciate the support and the coffee ☕️🔥 Action Cam, and their colours are always a little bit difficult or challenging to colour grade, but I find this lut helps me a lot. And make it so much easier to have a consistent result. Yeah, I have seen a lot of videos about this, but I think In some of the cases it is just the lack of sharpness added from the camera compared to the gopro. Wide lenses like this will always have focus issues in close ups. But I'm no expert. I leve it up the others to speculate in this. I'm happy with mine so far 🎥 Cheers
Thanks for your vid, Thomas. The DJI looks like an easy-to-use cam, making life on the road - ah - easy. But the image quality of the latest GoPro tempts me. I use fully closed transparent underwater boxes for action cams. Bulky? Yes, Sir. Sturdy? Yes, helps a lot when dropping them (offroad).
All the best from Nürnberg/Germany, Günter
Good evening Günter, yeah… it is really strange that such small changes can make such a huge difference in usability and wanting to use the camera in different situations. Everything that is stress free or without hassle will be used more often (in my book) Well, dont you struggle with the sound when you put it into those boxes? Can just remember how it was back in the days when we had the first generations of GoPros. Cheers mate
@@tshansen Good evening, Thomas. These boxes do work well. You get some sound (cam mounted on chin or mirror), but you won't get deafened. Only when I install it next to the Transalp's engine on the side crash bar it gets a bit noisy. I have to turn down the volume in post production. But these boxes make life on the road trouble-free. Good that DJI keeps GoPro innovative ;-)
this is a very useful video for someone considering getting an Action 3, thank you!
Thank you mate, appreciate that 👏🏻
Need a night time setting video I ride in the woods I can never get the low light one to turn on
I never use my action cam in low light. The sensor is just not big enough. You could try to crank the iso up to 1600 and see how that will affect the image, but don't get your hopes up.
Just wondered which winds later you used, I use the rycote dead cats to deflect the wind which are ideal but a bit crazy looking.
I use old windslayers from my GoPro hero 7 and just modified them a little to fit the new mount.
Ty for share. I am not a specialist, I just try to understand, but, I if u put on dlogm , it make a flat colours footage. So it's normal that ure vidéo without lut or corrections is bad looking. U can't compare it with the final corrections. I would want to see a comparison between a normal footage and a dlogm corrected
Well, if you not sure if it is worth it, just stick to Normal footage and be happy about it. The reason you want to shoot in D-Log is to match it up with other color profiles and get more flexibility in post. Some want to have the full potential in cameras like this, others don't care and that is fine.
@@tshansen u didn't understand me.

Thanks for review, tell me please which sd card the best?
I’m not sure what is the best, but i have had great experience with the Sandisk cards. And still use them.
Great video with a lot of information. But could you please help me ? I also have a DJI AC3 + windslayer but the result sucks ... I even have a big plexi so far what you don't have. What are your settings ? Wind reduction on/off ? Channel mono/stereo ? Directional audio off/front ? And then any specific adjustments in the davinci resolve ? .. and a lot of times the audio sounds like the volume is jumping up and down. Very annoying
My settings are: Channel - Stereo. Noise reduction - on, Directional Audio - Off.... In DaVinci I drag the clip down to the timeline, right click on the clip and Normalise audio Levels, then I use the Sample Peak Program, and use -9 dBFS.... Try that and see what you get?
Nice cam position. More view. Dji and go pro are awesome camera. Thank you so much for sharing your fantastic video. Good luck and more success for you 👍. Greetings from your new fans
Thank you so much, glad to hear that. I will do even more trying and experimenting with even more camera angles in the upcoming season. Stay safe mate. Cheers 🍻
Thanks for the video Thomas - it'd be great to see a comparison of normal colour vs graded d.cinelike for those of us that don't know if we can be bothered with the added effort... cheers!
I may do a follow up on this in a future video. It all depends what you are planing to use your footage for and if you are planing to do some colour correction. If not, use normal colour profile. Cheers
Thanks! I'm learning a lot of editing techniques from your tutorial! With enough tips, I'd be able to go places with my Action 3
Glad I could help Mike... just get out there, capture footage and dear to fail, Try and see what you can make of it, and try again until you nail it. Cheers 👏🏻

Perfect walkthrough for setting up the camera when using the footage as part of a video edit with color grading! 👍I would think most of this is valid for any use of the camera, not just for capture video when motorcycle riding. Need to check out these ND filters. I can understand the need for it on bright sunny days, but do you use it outdoors on cloudy days as well?
Yeah, this settings would be the same for anyone who use this camera. Yeah, it looks like freewell is the only one that offers ND filters at this time! But i guess polarpro is not far behind.
Yes i use ND-8 on cloudy days 👏🏻
Real nice video Tjommi, pro show! To me it was interesting to see your reasons to go for the Osmo over the Gopro and ofc all the tips and tricks, they apply for the Gopro as well. You got me into the windslayer some years ago, a no-brainer improvement. Nice studio!
Thank you Tjommi 🤩 Yeah, i needed a camera that made life easier and the less hassle it is to use, the more i will use it. I bet you know the difference yourself after getting the gripper mount?

@@tshansen it is one of the grown up kids room, that they never enptied when they moved out... time ro be a military style daddy!
Nice work. I almost bought this at launch. It is softer than the gopro 10 and 11 with less detail, but still gives a pleasing image to my eye, and seems more practical (no overheating, etc..). What put me off is the lack of gyro files for post stabilisation. 10-bit colour was also said to be coming, but there is no official announcement form DJI on this or the gyro file. Given people have been asking for gyro data since the Osmo 2, I'm not sure DJI is interested. currently I'm holding off to see what any firmware updates bring, and how the gopro 11 mini stacks up.
Thank you mate, well... I read somewhere on the DJI forum that the 10-bit is on its way. But with that said, when you compare the 8bit and 10bit difference in the gopro 10/11 there is not that much of a difference. I would love to see a bigger sensor size and 10 bit in next years model or year after. For cinematic footage, the DJI wins without a doubt. Do you really need gyro data with the rocksteady? For my usage with action cams, I have never missed it. I have it for my Sony a7s iii but rearly use it there as well? The 11 mini looks really interesting, but the internal battery made me stay clear. We all know how the sessions camera did 😇 Thank you for this comment. Cheers
Nice world raid you got there!
Will switch from Gopro to the DJI so this video was very helpful for my future motor riding videos.
Thank you mate, I absolutely love the World Raid, such a fantastic bike for my needs. I don’t regret changing from GoPro to DJI for one second. Amazing camera. Hope you can make use of this settings i apply on my camera. Cheers

Wauw what a great action cam! Plenty of opportunities to fine-tune my video's for so far I can see 👌and it looks a lot less bulky than the new GoPro. Thanks for the video!
Yeah, i’m really impressed by this camera and the ease of use is just incredible compared to my old Gopro. It is a bit smaller than my gopro 7, so i bet it is even smaller than the gopro 11.
Thank you for this video. Are you keeping the shuter speed on auto when you using the nd filters? I learned to set the shutter speed twice the frames per second (24 frames are 1/50 Sec). br Dan
Yes, i keep the shutter speed at auto, it makes it much easier to work with in different Lightning conditions
great advice seems simple way is the best way such a great work flow and great info on the Action 3
Yeah, with little effort and knowledge you can really make cameras like this shine 🔥👏🏻 cheers
@@tshansen I think you might be right there.
Do you take any precautions when you are leaving the camera on the side of the road for filming yourselfe driving past? In practice it will take some minutes to take these shots.....
Yes, I make sure it is safe and on the outside of the road so I dont disturb traffic or others that may pass me. I have had a couple of cars slowing down thinking I was the police or something. But normally where I ride there is not a lot of traffic so you manage this quite fine. I don't take any chances. And it has become second nature for me to "look" for spots that can be a good frame to pass by. Yes, it takes a little bit of extra time, but I plan out the day and know what parts I want to focus on when shooting. Cheers 👏🏻
Hello great video. You have a great helmet mount for your osmo action. What is it?
Yes, it is Michal… it is really nice and so great to use. It is the Gripper mount from Dango Design. Cheers ☕️
So much appreciation for this content! It's nice to have the D-cinelike picture profile available on the Action 3! The normal color profile is great but d-cinelike is incredible especially with all these amazing luts available to us now!
Thank you Robert and glad you found it helpful. I notice that the Dynamic range in D-Cinelike is way better than Normal. It looks like you loose some details in the shadows when you put on the lut, but as long as you edit and correct the footage on the nodes before the LUTS you retain the details. Just amazing
great video mate cheers

I really like what you do with your Sony camera, with the drive-by? type shots. Do you plan to do a video on that camera and how you use it, and if not, can you say which Sony it is, and what lens you typically use?
I have a couple of videos planed about camera gear and how I use it with some practical examples. But then I need to wait so I can go ride my bike again. early spring is a good time for content like this I think. I will try to show what camera I use, how I plan for certain shots, how I setup and do all the practical outside on the road. The sony I use is a Sony a7s iii with a FE4/24-105 G OSS lense. expensive combo, but what an amazing tool it is. Keep in mind, I use this in professional work as well.
@@tshansen Looking forward to those videos. It seems pretty clear that you must be a professional photographer/videographer of some kind…or should be anyway!!
I’m all of 8 months into this as a hobby, and your videos, and what it takes to make them, convince me that I still have so much to learn! I appreciate you telling me the camera and lens you use because that can be quite confusing for a novice to figure out, and I really like the feel of your shots. Now to figure out a less expensive way to do it is the problem! Add that to your list of video ideas please!! 😁

Hello from France ! Found your nice videos by chance. Just got my motorcycling license last year, still learning (and will always be). Your videos are "selling" well Norway! Now I want to go there! I have a question: is the Osmo Action the only camera (and the drone, of course) you bring with you to film your roadtrips? I tried to bring my hybrid camera (Nikon Z6) in my roadtrips, but between the hassle to get it out of the bag and the fear of having it damaged or stolen, I ended up using my phone most of the time both for filming and shooting stills. I'm now considering buying the Osmo 3 instead, but I also love to shoot and film people and places with a proper camera. Not easy to favor the trip or making pictures!
Hello my friend. Really glad you found my channel and thank you for taking the time to watch and write to me. I also bring my Sony A7S iii as my stationary camera, that i use for most shots. The Osmo Action 3 i only use for riding footage. I understand you are scared for your equipment, it is expensive, but i treat it as a tool. I need it to do the job, and make sure my equipment is insured. I could not go on trips with a poor camera. I’m way to interested in it.
You look like you were lucky with getting one in focus. I've already went through two with the out of focus issue. The plant workers didn't screw in the lens properly on some units.
I have seen some people online that had to return the camera 4 times before getting a proper one. Real shame that so many people have issues with the camera. So they have found the reason for the focus issue now? I guess this is not from DJI them self? More people who have found out by them self? Cheers
nice tips & tutorial!!
Thank you sir, appreciate that 🎥
what is your setting to export from davinci to youtube at the best ?
I export a 4K timeline in QuickTime h.265 with 80.000kb - Main10 encoding profile.
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. I recently bought the OSMO Action 3 and am now looking for a good solution to attach the camera to my motorbike helmet. What mount do you use in your video?
Thank you Sir… in this video i use the gripper mount from Dango Design… but i got a new mount before this season that i glued to the helmet that is way smaller and lighter, the reason i liked the gripper mount so good was the ease to take the camera on and off the helmet. Now with the new magnet quick release it is much easier to take it off and on, compared to the GoPro 👏🏻
@tshansen thanks a lot , will have a look for it;-)
Did you have any issues with the stabilization of the video when using ND filters?
Yes, that is why I got back to the Hero 12. The DJI Osmo Action 3 is almost useless in shadow areas and overcast. You need between 1/200 to 1/500 shutter speed for the rocksteady to work.

@@skyrez7848 It will cover the air intake, but there is no problem with it, the air still get’s in on the sides and trough. I can highly recommend it.
Man great video, i read in more video tutorial, this: "the motion blur effect dont work if the rokstady stabilization are ON" with osmo action3, its true or not?
Set: nd filter, 4k 25fps, shutterspeed 1-50, iso 100-800!
Well.... to understand the whole motion blur effect you need to understand what shutter speed does to the image. For normal movement you need a shutter speed of twice the framrate. like when I'm walking around I have 1/50 and a 25fps footage. (PAL region) but when you start moving faster. like a motorcycle, you can have higher shutter speed and still get the motion blur. Like 1/200 is good for riding footage, but the rocksteady on the Osmo Action 3 is so intense, it needs really high shutter speed to work. up towards 1/500 and this will take away the motion blur. If you put on a ND filter, you will only get shaky ruined footage. The micro jitters are intense. This is why I'm not using the Osmo action 3 anymore and got myself a GoPro Hero 12 🙌🏻
@@tshansen thk u👍
Hello sir, thank you for this video. I’m still however, wondering which mount are you using to attach the action to your chin? Thank you.
In this video i use the gripper mount from dango design, but the last year i have used a own mount for the krios pro that you glue to the front!
@@tshansen I’ve just googled a bunch for my Arai XT4, I think that gripper mount is very versatile, thanks!
Wow great video review and also the bonus of color correcting in Davinci Resolve. I really love Davinci and the new 18 version is really fast for rendering... Have the Osmo action original and just ordered the action 3 this evening from DJI..
Thank you Dave. Davinci is a great editing software I really enjoy working with. It has so many great features and the speeds are great. Hope you enjoy the Action 3 as much as I do. Cheers
Do you use a mic when Moto vlogging? If so which one because I want to pick this action cam up tomorrow.
Hello Mike. Sorry, i don’t moto vlogg at all, so i can’t give you any good information about this 🔥
@@tshansen no probs thanks for replying, you’ve earned a sun because you’re videos are so in depth
@@mike-e-moto4615 You are welcome mate, and good luck with getting the information you are searching. Always appreciate a new follower, thank you 👏🏻🔥 Cheers
Thank you for good Content I liked now I followed you 🔥
Thank you sir, really glad to hear that. 🙏🏻
i like the camera but i love that Tenere😎
Haha, I have to agree on that myself 👏🏻🤩
@@tshansen how i wish there is tenere in our country🇵🇭
Doesn't the wind slayer cover up the color sensor in the logo between the two front mics?
When you set the whitebalance, that sensor does not matter anymore, it only helps when you go from like say indoors to Outdoors, or down in water with auto whitebalance 😉🔥
@@tshansen ah ok thanks I did not know that 👍😁
@@BassManStrikes you are welcome mate 🤩
How is the digital stabilisation of Action 3 coping with those ND 8/16 filters? Onboard footage looks quite decent with no glithing due to the low shutter speed making RockSteady crazy. Do You use them all the time just switching between 8 and 16? Thanks.
I only use nd8 or no ND at all because of what you describe! The rocksteady is terrible with low shutter speeds! On bright days i use ND8 and cloudy days i run without a ND 👏🏻🔥
do you have a focus prob un the Action 3 ?
I don’t think so… from my experience it is more like the camera lack digital sharpening applied in the camera so you need to add this in post. But i can’t see how it is out of focus. Need to do some more investigation and pixel peeping.
Thank you! Great information. I just got my Action 3 two days ago and I will be using it for motocross videos. I will also be buying the Divinci Resolve software in a few days and I like the demonstration you did, very helpful. I'm finally moving away from my Garmin Virb XE cameras mainly for the better stabilization but I hate the thought of losing all the GPS features of the Garmin. I'm going to try and use two cameras, one Garmin and the Osmo with the Garmin software and hopefully get the GPS info and overlays on the video. Thanks again.
Congrats on your new camera mate. And buying the Studio version of Davinci Resolve is worth every penny. Damn this software is just so damn good. Keep in mind that the colour page gives you way more freedom and options to tweak your footage. I just did a really simple explanation of how you can get a good picture from your camera. Tried to simplify it a lot. I never used the Garmin camera my self. Is the gps data that good? use it to record laps or where on the track you are when filming? need to look more into this. Cheers
I absolutely love the Garmin Virb XE and the fantastic software that goes along with it as I have three of those cameras. The software does multicam editing and the cameras are very user friendly. These cameras came out about the time of the Hero 7 and they were superior to GoPro in every way but GoPro had the name and Garmin didn't catch on. Garmin came out with the Virb Ultra which was a terrible cam and then they made a 360 cam which was also terrible and they got out of the camera business. None of the other makers have the GPS features that Garmin had. In my videos I only use about 10% of it's capability. The cameras of today have much better stab which is what I'm after.
@@MainJet158 Learn something new everyday. I have heard alot about these cameras, but never facts like this. I know they tried to jump on the trains, but as you say. They did not have the name and I bet most did go for the gopro or sony at that time. Thank you for this info 👏🏻
ruclips.net/video/SzqOIz2THpo/видео.html
I don't know if you watched any of my videos but this one shows the GPS and the picture in picture and later the reverse view. Can't believe it's raining today. just got a small sample of footage with the new camera to play with, see ya.
@@MainJet158 do i remember correctly ? We may be able to get gps data too using 0a4 and some extra tool or the use of the app for recording ? Think i heard/read something somewhere….
Veldig bra tutorial! Må vurdere å begynne å bruke både D-Cinelike og DaVinci!
Takk Takk, hyggelig å høre. Ja, davinci får du jo gratis så det er bare å begynne å bruke 👏🏻
Is the windslayer not blocking any censors? I have an action 4, great video btw!!! I subbed
It only covers the sensor for under water white balance! You don’t need that when setting the white balance manually
@@tshansen i have read that he color temperature sensor is built into the letter "O" of the logo on the front of the camera. Will it not have an impact on this?
@@2wheeledgreco271 That is correct… the sensor is behind the O. But if you plan on going under water, you take the windslayer off. You should never have the camera on white balance auto, you should set it manually, and adjust it slightly in post for the best colour accuracy when it comes to action cam.
@@tshansen Oh okay, im a total noob here 😆 but what i dont understand... If you set a given setting for the white balance, and you plan to film a road for 20-30 min, are there settings good for all the condition during this time? Maybe you'll have some darker areas in the woods amd then bright again on open roads... Or am i missing simeting
@@2wheeledgreco271 that is fine, we have all been there!
White balance is hust how cool or warm your colours look! So normal daylight is about 5600 kelvin. On cloudy days you want to set it for 6000 on bright days you would set it closer to 5000! Inside a house with normal warm lights you will probably want to set it closer to 4000! How bright a image looks in shaddow area is depending on shutter speed, iso and F stop 🤩
Hi. Thanks for the video. I just bought an Action 3 and I'm a biker too. Can I ask where have you mounted your camera when you're riding the bike? Is it a chin mount or a chest mount? Thanks.
I have the camera mounted on the chin when I’m riding, i think this gives the best POV when riding. Cheers
@@tshansen thanks. Yes, it looks great.
Is Action 4 using 10-bits/log for Hyperlaps?
Not sure, i don’t own the action 4
Thanks for the video, but at the right corner, the waveform is not visible, I see "Keyframes". How can I make the waveform visible?
Thanks!!!
In the top right corner you have something called the spline window! Press that?
@@tshansen Thank you very much! Now I have another problem, when I use the Lut, the colours really sucks, the blue looks radioactive…. Don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
@@Paulschen100 that is because you try to apply the lut on more than one node, or you have shot the footage in normal colour space! This lut only works ok footage shot in D-Cinelike
Such great advice on the setup, thank you! What GroPro Model size of Windslayer do you use for your DJI Action 3?
Glad you found it helpful mate 👏🏻🔥 it is the windslayer for the gopro hero 7 i use, but i guess more of them works if you do some modifications
@tshansen Much Appreciated
You explained so good.
Love from bangladesh.
But i am not able to buy this. So high rate... I make video by my phone🥴👌
Thank you, really nice to hear that 🤩 You can make really good videos on the phone as well 🙏🏻
Just been trying this camera out and I’ve got to say as much as there’s a lot of positives over the go pro, I’ve been experiencing audio problems with external mic within the helmet. The gain doesn’t turn down enough and there’s distortion especially when the visor is down. Maybe this could be cured with a software update, I’m gutted I was really hoping with was going to be the one.
I never use my action cam with external mic, so i can’t give you my experience with this. But i guess there should be better options to regulate this in camera? 🤔 Maybe easy to do with software update? I’m not sure. My GoPro was starting to mess up my footage at the end of last season, so i really had to change that camera out. I have not got that much experience with this camera yet, but i will only use this as my action cam from now on. The gopro is retired ☺️
@@tshansen you would think in the 21st century of technology they would make a camera that just works lol
You may want to consider the Osmo Remote Mic. Expensive, but perfect for moto vlog.
beginner question, if the camera is centered on the chin mount that means the lens is not. Does it matter and is it worth putting a couple of short arms to correct for that offset?
Not at all mate, you have such a wide Angle lense that this is not noticable at all. So leave it center 🤩👏🏻
@@tshansen tnx for the answer. Indeed it doesn't seem to matter. Looking at vids from people who center the cam vs vids from people who center the lens, I don't see any difference, especially since people are not statues when riding a bike, they move around :)
Hi Thomas, just stumbled onto your channel and your subscribers went +1 :). I was wondering what helmet mount your using (as seen on 0:07), currently i have the HJC C80 helmet which has a similar front ventilation hole. It's quite the effort for finding a right / compatible mount. Looking forward to upcoming videos.
Thank you so much Andy, really appreciate that 🤩 Always nice with new followers. I use the Gripper mount from Dango Design. That fits really well on most helmets. In 2023, I will try a new clue on mount from Aliexpress that is custom made for the Krios Pro Helmet. The only reason I do this, is because of the magnet quick lock mount on my new Osmo Action 3. I'm in need of a mount that I can quickly take on and off. Cheers
Excelent video! I have a question: is the nd filter the same for action 3 and action 1 or they are incompatibles!?
Hello mate, glad you found it helpful, i have no idea if the ND filters for action 1 will fit! I don’t think so, because the action 3 looks like a slightly larger camera 🤔 looks like freewell filters are a little bit different
