This has got to be the best "real-life" review--- combining different cameras and just making the review part of the entire real-life experience. So much better than all the other tech review channels that hardly put the tech through real-life usage in a dynamic way.
This is a killer review.... you put through all the test I would want to cover. iPhone 14 Comparison was fantastic. Thank you so much for doing this Potato Jet!
DJI is my favorite brand. I have the Pocket 2 and it’s actually my primary option to film on. I simply don’t use my canon just because I can’t afford a gimbal. And phone is great but a lot of the time I have information loaded on it and need it for other stuff
Finally a really comprehensible low light test. Like we know what a dave and busters looks like in life and in other recordings, not like under bridges or very specific events. I really want the action 4 now 😳
Dylan and Sam in the same video, nice… Love how you brought other cameras into this Gene instead of just shooting an ad like some creators. RESPECT this so much.
I’m excited for the camera. I have always been a fan of the DJI Action series of cameras. When I got the action 3, I knew it wasn’t going fly on my drones often and I use it as a vlog camera. I’m really interested in testing the Action 4 in low light situations for fpv.
Can you elaborate why you prefer smaller sensor with faster lens vs bigger sensor with slower lens? Or anyone who can elaborate it for me please, much appreciated!
I think a ton of people are waiting on GoPro and will be disappointed... this thing has great audio, seems to overheat less, magnetic click mount and a larger sensor... GoPro needs to really step it up with a big update and lately its been pretty small stuff so I suspect it will not surpass this.
@@MichaelJMelo to be fair.. GoPro existed in like 2003 when they had to actually create the tech and when DJI made their first action cam it was just a clone of the GoPro leaching off what GoPro grew for a userbase with millions in advertising and using the mounts gopro developed. Seems like GoPro started to slow progress after their Karma drone failed... like it's been tough for them to recover financially to make the developments needed.
@@mainelyhobbies Right… they’ve had a head start of 7 versions of hardware. But does anyone care? When people are choosing a camera, they don’t care about how it started… they just care about performance and end results. How many times did we beg GoPro for a selfie screen before they finally added it? How many times are we going to complain about overheating and glitches? How many times did we ask for better low light capabilities? GoPro needed the DJI action to light a fire under them. I, like you… are hoping that it leads to an amazing GoPro.
I have the action 3, and I put a wind sock for my old GoPro on it. Basically a foam jacket that goes over the whole thing, and acts as a wind muff. Unfortunately, it does cause higher temps, so there is some trade off there.
Rode ME can use multiple microphones (sold separately) and you can use the GO 2 TX with the internal recording. The benefit of the ME is that it can connect to an iPhone or Android phone using the lightning or USB-C cable without needing adapters. However for the price the cheap $20 wireless microphones have great audio quality.
So…it’s an Air3/Mini 3 Pro/Mavic 3 Pro (secondary) sensor…seems like they are trying to standardize the sensors they are using in their current lineup.
Gene: Here’s everything great about the Osmo Action 4…. also… here’s a bunch of stuff I was supposed to do videos on but didn’t and here are my quick thoughts on those….
Great video. I'm glad I waited for Action 4. Can you share the link for the nacklace mount/stick thing that you're using in the first minute of the video please ?
Loool. I bought the action 3 last Thursday, for my boyfriends birthday at the end of the month. I was looking for when the action 4 was coming out but didn't see anything on Google. So yesterday, when all these videos dropped... I was like 'f**k off' 🤣🤣🤣. Put the action 3 in for a refund and just ordered the 4 today from DJI. My boyfriend thinks I'm crazy but he'll thank me later.
Did the FIX the bad focus that ruined the Action 3? The firmware did nothing. Also, for long recordings, do the files now save as one file (like in iPhone) OR do they save as many little clips. The Action 3 using many clips for long shoots resulted in a sound "glitch" when putting the clips back into the one long shoot.
@potato_jet. So…the focus is fixed? The longer one-take clips are still broken into chunks or one big file? The chunks often had audio glitches between clips.
Great VIDEO!!! Gene , Dylan & Sam The 3 Amigoes Need to be together!! I have the Action 1 & 3. Now I need to have the 4. FOMO! I wanna see whether Gene can use action cameras as studio cameras🤣
I would have liked to see a comparison to the insta360 one rs with the 1" lens. I feel like this is the direct competitor to the action4, rather than a Go 3
3:28 wrong lense used for the 14 pro …definitely bad ….should have used the main camera and at least clean the 14 lense what I can see is hand oil causing that fogish look
Got the Action 4. Great little cam, loving the performance, but I'm not too happy with the D-Log M. Colours don't look too good when you grab them IMO.
Hi, can you pause recording on the DJI action 4 then resume? So to be able to record different scenes as a one file without having to mess around with editing.
I have been filming my vlogs with a gopro12 but very disappointed with the lowlight, even indoor and outside in the shadows. Im considering to try out a dji or insta360
Damn, the Action 4 is packing heat! Even the 4K 120p is clean.
I wonder what’s in store in the GoPro Camp
@@BlkMambaFPVhopefully something that works this time, mini 11 was a disaster 😮
no its not good. shame money grab... price raise,,,... sucj a let down. losing faith in DJI
tongsis 360 channel
i'm actually super amazed by the action 4's lowlight capability!
Seeing the squad back together (Gene, Sam, Dylan and Kari) made me so happy, brought back the memories of 2020 vlogging days.
This has got to be the best "real-life" review--- combining different cameras and just making the review part of the entire real-life experience. So much better than all the other tech review channels that hardly put the tech through real-life usage in a dynamic way.

First time I've ever gotten sweaty palms from a camera review. 😅
Oh, hey Austin 😀
Can I just say your editing choices in this video are off the chain. Very sharp and entertaining. You're ready for the big leagues!
And Dylan is back...for a minute...
Glad to see Sam also
I'm watching this on a 28 inch 4K Panel and the Daylight footage is just mindblowing. Straight up DSLR like.
Can't be. It's a tiny sensor after all🙃
Thank you sir! Cant wait to have you guys back again!
DJI is my favorite brand. I have the Pocket 2 and it’s actually my primary option to film on. I simply don’t use my canon just because I can’t afford a gimbal. And phone is great but a lot of the time I have information loaded on it and need it for other stuff
No way!!! I just ordered the Action 3 a few weeks ago still waiting to arrive and now I saw in my email inbox this morning the Action 4 is here!!!
Seriously best audio out of an action camera I've ever heard!
I wanna let you know that I saw 4 different Osmo 4 review videos in my feed while I had time for only one to watch.... And I chose yours :). Worth it.
Honestly , i don’t think I’ve been excited over an action camera as much as this one !!
That's a really nice improvement. I was expecting progress at some point, this feels like a great step forward.
Bro the volleyball bounce off Sam’s chest was awesome!
Please post the volleyball scene as a stand alone. That’s hilarious! Maybe Dylan can do a VO for it.
I cracked tf up at "Hi, It's me Sam, your friendly neighborhood Mexican." 😂
🤣.. loving the Top Gun recreation. Awesome video liked how you are included various cameras and opinions. Instead just the DJI promo video.
This will be able to be intercut with other footage without it looking too obvious! This is amazing!
Finally a really comprehensible low light test. Like we know what a dave and busters looks like in life and in other recordings, not like under bridges or very specific events. I really want the action 4 now 😳
Dylan and Sam in the same video, nice… Love how you brought other cameras into this Gene instead of just shooting an ad like some creators. RESPECT this so much.
How about external microphones?
I’m excited for the camera. I have always been a fan of the DJI Action series of cameras. When I got the action 3, I knew it wasn’t going fly on my drones often and I use it as a vlog camera. I’m really interested in testing the Action 4 in low light situations for fpv.
love sam the local friendly mexican. he is the best
The fpv footage is dope!!!
Loved the Top Gun beach scene…..hilarious 😂
You had me at "Friendly neighborhood Mexican." Hahahaha
Love your style of editing it never gets boring
Daaaamn, that low light and 4K120... I still use the original Osmo Action (the first one) and I´m highly tempted to get this one!
4:39 Shout out to Kari! That's a cool Lefty shirt! ❤
Still no 1" sensor 🙄...... Imma start takin this personally now!
Cheers 🍻
So many gadgets in one video! Very satisfying
Can you elaborate why you prefer smaller sensor with faster lens vs bigger sensor with slower lens? Or anyone who can elaborate it for me please, much appreciated!
Such a great device. Looking forward to get my hands on one myself 😊
That's pretty impressive, I'm watching on my phone and the difference is obvious

Imagine they did this all by the 4th version…. Meanwhile GoPro is going on its 12th…….

Way better than any go pro
I love seeing the squad together! Oh and good review too!
dang that action 4 has a really, really good internal mic!
Good test and the arcade was a great location. I want one for filming in a nightclub and hopefully is somewhat comparable.
Woke up at 3 am here in Hawaii and placed my order!!
1:16 Dylan AND Sam in the video??!! I feel like I'm watching the 2012 Avengers movie again for the first time.
I have the action 3, and I put a wind sock for my old GoPro on it. Basically a foam jacket that goes over the whole thing, and acts as a wind muff. Unfortunately, it does cause higher temps, so there is some trade off there.
low light quality at 3:40 is amazing from such a small form factor.

The quality is really nice now ! Will be picking one of these up ! would love to see some more FPV footage with this camera
Really enjoyed this video and the comparison between this and other cameras, it gives a great real-world feel to the comparisons
I have osmo Action, first generation. low light is glitch. this is awesome my friend
Dude, you're about to hit a million.
You guys rock. All of you. 👍
That slow-mo ending was intense….Baywatch 2023 lol
This was truly the most unsponsored video ever ! So many cameras and mics were talked about here 😂
So…it’s an Air3/Mini 3 Pro/Mavic 3 Pro (secondary) sensor…seems like they are trying to standardize the sensors they are using in their current lineup.
Kinda surprised it was two Action updates before a Pocket
Phenomenal FPV footage!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Gene: Here’s everything great about the Osmo Action 4…. also… here’s a bunch of stuff I was supposed to do videos on but didn’t and here are my quick thoughts on those….
lol at 0:16 you kinder look like Kim Jong Un, maybe its the fresh haircut
Great video. I'm glad I waited for Action 4. Can you share the link for the nacklace mount/stick thing that you're using in the first minute of the video please ?
image being the videographer for their wedding ...PRESSSSSSSSSUAH
aite, im sold!
I think I saw you guys in the air! I was playing volleyball on the beach about a week ago...
A moment of silence for those who bought the Dji Action 3 recently. 😅
This is why I always search for the leaks. I knew about it few weeks ago.
Bought a 2nd hand Action 3 adventure combo at a standard combo price. Honestly i really hope i can trade in for an action 4 sadly
Loool. I bought the action 3 last Thursday, for my boyfriends birthday at the end of the month.

The low light comparison is the selling point for me, as i usually ride at night time.
Came across you guys accidentally 👀👀😂😂, so glad I did… really fun, and informative… deffo got a sub to the channel 👍🏼

Great Video! Thanks for sharing. I am using Dji Osmo Action 4, It is really awesome 😍
Finnaly some YouGene content out regularly!
Missed the gang
10:15 what is the name of the drone you clipped the Action 4 onto? Is this the DJI Avata?
It is certainly a beast. I am now waiting for the Osmo Action 5 to come out so the Action 4's price comes down to purchase.....
Great VIDEO!!! Gene , Dylan & Sam The 3 Amigoes Need to be together!! I have the Action 1 & 3. Now I need to have the 4. FOMO! I wanna see whether Gene can use action cameras as studio cameras🤣
Been testing the Insta360 go3…. Might have to get the Action4 instead!!
how to you grade the d-log, specially in the section of Audio Quality. Its so awesome.
I would have liked to see a comparison to the insta360 one rs with the 1" lens. I feel like this is the direct competitor to the action4, rather than a Go 3
Nice one the large sensor with a fast lens 👌🏼 and we need Sam back for good😊
Awesome videos !!!!! Quick question, do you really trust the mounts that DJI and insta 360 uses on their cameras compared to go pro.
Such a comprehensive review! Thanks!
Potato jet with the best reviews. Thank you 🙏
Can you use one the DJI Osmo Action 4 a DJI Osmo Action Chest Strap Mount?
The new Action 4 looks good. Great video review, thanks for sharing.
3:28 wrong lense used for the 14 pro …definitely bad ….should have used the main camera and at least clean the 14 lense what I can see is hand oil causing that fogish look
Can you test it in MotoVlogging using usb mic inside the helmet? Im concern in the audio clipping in Action 3, i hope they fix it for both. Thank you!
wow the mic is amazinggggg
This was epic review guys!
This dude is always doing some dope shit. Lol
i just pause your side-by-side videos, the results quite impressive
You can add a stand-alone camera to a drone? I’m new to photography. Link?
that was quick osmo 3 and 4!😀
such a great little camera!
What is the brand of the necklace mount you using Gene.
NOT BIG DEAL..
NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE BETWEEN...
😱😱
Got the Action 4. Great little cam, loving the performance, but I'm not too happy with the D-Log M. Colours don't look too good when you grab them IMO.
Hi, can you pause recording on the DJI action 4 then resume? So to be able to record different scenes as a one file without having to mess around with editing.
That is some really good footage
How is your camera in D-Log so clean in minute 4:37 ?! mine looks disgusting, did you run it through enhancement video app like topaz or something?!
finally a fpv camera for club and nightlife
We buy stick on dead cats and 2 sided tape them to the gopro mics and it works great.
I have been filming my vlogs with a gopro12 but very disappointed with the lowlight, even indoor and outside in the shadows. Im considering to try out a dji or insta360
Great video. The Osmo Action 4 is fantastic. What model of neck mount were you using?
I have one from telsin, looks exactly the same
