Get the BEST Possible FOOTAGE 2023 - DJI Osmo Action 3 and 4
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 июл 2024
- We are now entering the year 2023 and some of us are looking to upgrade our Action Cam. This is how I setup my PRO settings in the DJI Osmo Action 3 & Osmo Action 4, and how you can easily colour grade D-Cinelike footage in Davinci Resolve. And I talk about the reasons I choose the DJI Osmo Action 3 over the GoPro Hero 11. Hope you find it useful.

14:50 Conclusion
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
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.
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 🙌🏻
VERY GOOD video, thanks for all tips and info!
Thank you 🤩 Glad to hear that, hope it helped 🔥
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 🔥
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 👏🏻
this is a very useful video for someone considering getting an Action 3, thank you!
Thank you mate, appreciate that 👏🏻
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 👏🏻
Díky!
Thank you so much mate. Really appreciate the support 🙌🏻 Absolute legend
Hi Thomas! Nice video/tutorial and very well explained. Cheers!
Thank you Vitor, really appreciate it 🤩 Cheers
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 video mate cheers
Thanks 👍 Hope you found it helpful. 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
Thanks ! Previous OA1 vlogger, and now sold so going to add this in January. Great help. Subbed from Scotland.

Awesome! Thank you, glad you fund valuable information in this video. And always appreciate new subs. Thank you so much 👏🏻
WHY 4K AND 25 FPS IT WILL NOT BE SMOOTH WHY NOT USE 1080P AND 120 OR 240 FPS SO ITS MORE SMOOTHER
@@tshansen
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
nice tips & tutorial!!
Thank you sir, appreciate that 🎥
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 ?
love it amazing camera
Thank you 👏🏻
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
Thanks man
You are welcome mate 👏🏻
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
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.
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
Awesome video by the way.
Hahaha thank you sir 🙌🏻
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
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.
very nice video🎉
Thank you 👏🏻
Thank you for good Content I liked now I followed you 🔥
Thank you sir, really glad to hear that. 🙏🏻
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 👏🏻
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
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 👏🏻
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
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 🍻
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.
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
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 🥃
@@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!
love it how simple and easy is this colour correction.. btw "option" key is "alt" on PC...
Great tutorial
Thank you sir, appreciate it 🔥
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 🙏🏻
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 🍻
that black foam case in the most genius idea ever !!!
it is really effective and cheap 👏🏻
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.
Helllo mate, glad you liked the video. In this video I used a Gripper mount from Dango Design
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
Very Nice vid, perfekt for mæ som vurdere action 3 og bruke da vinci resolve fra før. Eneste e visst den hadd vært på norsk, men jaja
Norge er rett og slett for lite til denne type innhold, derfor har jeg valgt å gjøre det på engelsk 🤩 Flott at du likte filmen. Takk
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 😂
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 ;-)
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 👏🏻
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
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 🔥👏🏻
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
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!
Takk. ❤
Bare hyggelig
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
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
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 👏🏻
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
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 😉🤌🏻
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.
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….
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
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!
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
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.
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 ☕️
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 👏🏻
@tshansen thanks a lot , will have a look for it;-)
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🇵🇭
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.

Many thanks for all your help here , very valuable , i paid for your LUT and look forward to improving my vids on my action 3
You are welcome, and thank you so much for the support. I have one more tip, be careful when using ND filters with this camera. The rocksteady is terrible if you have to low shutter speed. It will give the video some jello effect.
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.
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 interesting and useful video !
I have very little experience with action cams and your video really helps a lot.
Until now I have been using a Sena Prism Tube Wifi helmet cam which Sena don't make anymore. So I thought to update to the Action 3.
Does the Action 3 record the time and date accurately as most dashcams do ??
Also can you recommend the best windslayer for it.
Thanks from Sicily, and keep up the good work ! 👍🙂
Hello David, really glad to hear you found this video helpfull 👏🏻🔥 yes, as long as you set the time and date in the camera it record accuratly, but i’m not sure if you can Get a timestamp in the video! Never tried.
Most windslayer works, i bet they have made them to fit the Osmo action now, i just used my old ones from my gopro hero 7 i had laying around. Hope this was a answer to the question
@@tshansen thankyou. I will have a look around for the timestamp info.,👍
@@tshansen i read that some people have had problems with the video files recording the wrong time , maybe something to do with daylight saving times. Be interesting to find out if its been fixed. Or I suppose its easy enough to check on the cam screen before recording.
Nice walkthrough ! But what about external mics....do you still have to buy an adapter to plug it in?
Good Morning Sven 🤩 So glad to see you in the comment section again. Well, I tried to hook a mic up with a cable from my backpack to the camera via TRS to Usb-C but without luck. I see in some videos it works, and others say you need an adapter. So for me it was to much hassle to get that shit running. And I felt like the camera slowed down like crazy when you connected the mic to the usb-c plug 🤔
@@tshansen ok, thanks. Seems like the audio is acceptable anyway with that GoPro foam around, nothing is better. But if you want to use the cam as a studio cam you will need an adapter to use a better mic and to get rid of the echo. Nice grunt of that T7 engine btw :-)
@@thetubelesschannel Yeah, for how I use my Action cam, the windslayer is the best option. I never use the action cam as a studio cam, this is where my Sony shines, but for others who may use it, this is valuable information. The T7 engine is amazing. Damn I have had such a great time on this bike this season 🤩
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!
Thank you very much! Liked and sub to your channel! bought also your LUT file for post processing that will help me sooo much because i'm still a newbie with video editing! Just bought this camera and looks very good and worth it! Would be amazing if you could share a link even aliexpress where we can buy this kind of "cover" for reducing windnoise.
Thank you so much Rocco, really appreciate that. Hope you will make good use of it and manage to capture some great footage and edit it with ease. Just google windslayer in what country you originate and you will get many different options. I'm not sure if there is some made for this camera yet, but I know they make them for about every other action cam out there. Cheers 👏🏻
@@tshansen thanks a lot again! What i wanted to ask you is do you keep wind noise reduction on with the wind cover reduction or off?
@@roccobarone9 Well, I have tried a couple of times, back and fourth... it looks like it's better to turn off the wind noise reduction when the camera is inside a windslayer
@@tshansen when you are riding you keep on only frontal, only back or both for audio microphone in the camera?
@@roccobarone9 all 3 mics on
I don't know why I started laughing at the intro music lol
Haha, not me either 😆
Thanks for the info video👌🏻
Is it possible to do that kind of editing on a small iPad 6?
I have a old laptop I think it’s ok powerful, but I’m sure 🤔
I know that there will come a Davinci Resolve version for iPads this month, so how well it performs on a small iPad 6 i don’t know, but i guess you will need at least a M1 or M2 chip IPad Pro. It is quite heavy stuff to edit and colour grade with this software. You can find app’s that work similar for easy colour grade, like LumaFuison, but i always recommend a laptop or stationary machine for the heavy editing. Much better to work with.
@@tshansen
Ok. Thanks for your response, it’s much appreciated 👌🏻🙂
@@Mr450pro Sharing is caring my friend 👏🏻
Ooh! I hadn't been paying attention and didn't know this was released. Pretty tired of GoPros but hadn't liked anything else yet for mounting (I also ride motorcycles and attach to a chin mount and under my windscreen next to the guages - I ride a GSX-R 1000), some of your reasons for choosing this are definitely intriguing for motorcycle riding. Thanks for sharing! Edit to add a question: does it allow for extrnal mic options? Right now I have a lav mic run into my helmet and kinda like how it sounds.
Hello Dan, first of all, just want to say I love your content 👏🏻 For motorcycle riding, this mounting options makes everything just so much better. And yes, it allow for external mic. I tried to run a wired Usb-C to a TSR into a Røde video micro in my backpack, but that did not work? maybe something with the power. And I saw a video online that the usb-c is not made for external sound alone. So the best way is to use the DJI adapter, I think it comes included in the kit with the DJI Mic. Not sure the name of the little dongle, but you find it if you search on it.
@@tshansen appreciate it, man! And it sounds like DJI went the same route GoPro did if they require an adapter.
@@tshansen btw, purple panda lav mics sound awesome in a helmet (i stuff mine under my cheek pad). And they're cheap!
@@DanFox I dont do vlogs, but to just capture batter riding sound would be a great welcome for my use. Will take a closer look at them. I know that others have had luck with smal lav mics in the camera, but keep in mind that the Røde Video Micro is probably more power hungry? I'm not sure. I'm not all into the technical stuff about it.
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 👏🏻🔥
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?
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?
Hey, nice video. Thinking of getting this camera.
An off topic question are those Mitas E07+ on your bike?
Hello mate 🤩
Yes, that is correct… or, i ride with the mitas e-07+ rear but i ride with the continental TKC80 front. I like that best as a true 50/50 tire.
@@tshansen Nice, that's what I thought 😅
Also looking into e07+ for next season for my V-strom, but still not decided which way to go with the front. (also e07+ or something else). Since you ride quite a bit of gravel how would you rate this setup with TKC at the front?
@@Pritonss For me and my riding, the mitas rear and tkc80 front is the best overall adventure tire setup i have found. Absolutely love it.
Hi,
The accesssories that you use to mount the action cam to the helmet at minute 1:20, what is it? Those it have a name? Were did you buy it? Thanks.
Yes that is the gripper mount from Dango-Design 🙌🏻
TYSM for the information, I am planning to buy one, just let me know if I just the normal combo is it okay or if i buy the creator combo is worth?
Well, the extra batteries and the charging case is worth the price alone. It all comes down to what you need. but the batteries and extra magnetic mounts are worth it.
@@tshansen thanks man ❤️
Which Windslayer are you using? I can only seem to find them listed for GoPro devices.
I use some old ones for my gopro hero 7 that i had laying around! But you need to modify 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👍
👌👌👌👍👍👍📸
👏🏻 hope it was useful 🔥
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 🔥
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.
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
how is the Osmo Action 3 for long time recording? I go on tours were we stop every two hours or so and I would like to hook up the camera to a power source for continuos shooting over those periods of time. I'm new to your channel, and would like to know what video editor you are using too. TIA.
Hello Mike
I have not tried it for long recordings my self, I only do short clips every now and then. But from what I can understand, looking around online. You hook it up with a power bank, or fixed outlet on the bike and it will continue to run until the memory card is full.
I use an editing software called DaVinci Resolve 18. you can find it for free at Blackmagic Design. Cheers
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, about the windslayer. Did you cut it or modded it to make it fit your action 3? Cause i couldnt find the one you have. (As in a go pro windslayer with a small hole in the front) Ive bought one that is actually meant for osmo action but im a bit worried about the front screen being exposed to possible stonechips. Your solution looks way nicer in that regard so im curious if ive been just looking wrong.
I took a windslayer for the gopro hero 7 and cut it to fit my needs 👏🏻🔥
@@tshansen thanks for the fast response. My stubborn mind was looking for it for it for 2 h before i decided to give up an just ask😂 watched a couple of your vids and i find them very imsperational. Keep up the good work and thanks again for your answer
What is the blck cover for? To not freeze? For the microphone?
Windnoise, reduce windnoise 👏🏻
Hi Thomas, will you recommend osmo action 3 for food vlogging indoors like restaurants? Can the soft images from low light footages be edited into a nice video? Im leaning towards DJI because of the price, but it seems many people recommend hero 11 for better image quality. Im just a beginner and will be filming both outdoors and indoors.
I can recommend the Osmo action 3, but if it is better than the Gopro hero 11 is hard to say for that usage. I have never used mine as a vlogging style camera, nor have I used the hero 11. If one camera is better than the other (image wise) it is marginal, and all the other benefits of the DJI Osmo is way more important for me than what you get from the gopro.
Can you review the chin mount that's you use please.
Ooohh yes, the gripper mount from Dango Design is absolutely amazing! Been using it for some years now! The only negative thing is that it can touch the chest when you look down with some helmets! It makes it so much easier to take on and of and use on different surfaces.
@@tshansen Big thank you 🙏🙏
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 👏🏻
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.
Isn't covering the light sensor in the front in the O letter of the branding affect the auto wb etc if we leave them on auto?
This sensor is to adjust WB under water, but you should never set WB on auto! This is the one thing that ruin most footage on all cameras today!
@@tshansen Thank you so much for the swift answer fellow biker. Strange that sensor is not properly explained in the manual.
Nice video what settings do you use in davinci resolve in time line and export setting to youtube
Thank you DN... what settings do I use? not sure what of them you refer to, but I have a 4K timeline with 25FPS and I export with some custom settings to fit my needs. That can variate from project to project, but for only RUclips videos I render out in h.264/QuickTime and quality set to auto
Ok thanks what was the main reason you buy the dji instead of gopro what is the difference between both gopro and dji action 3
@@Nazim.D the main reason is the ease of use and that it is more easy to match with my other camera
Do you use auto exposure or did you use manual exposure when you are riding
