The most useful videos on these small cameras on RUclips hands down. I love that you experimented actually teach us the right settings. Thank you Tamara!
I'm rather late to the party but I have to echo what everyone else is saying. You not only told us why we shoud shoot a certain way with the action 4 but you then showed us why your tips work and you let our own eyes be the judge of what you were trying to teach us. Well done.
Not only was your instruction spot on, but the way your dark skin tone shows up and really helps illustrate your choices. Dark tones are hard to capture accurately, and you clearly know what you are doing. I’m now a subscriber. Thank you.
Thank you Tamara for the tips, I love your vids so informative. Thanks a lot. I just got my action 4 and you helped me a lot by your vids. God bless...
Good. I've just sold my DJI Osmo Action 3, and will be ordering the DJI Osmo Action 4 Adventure Combo b'cause I need that larger sensor (while retaining a waterproof option) for low light 4k walk videos as the 3 is weak with this. Will get the Pocket 3 maybe by the end of this year but will keep my Pocket 2. Also have a Sony a7c for night events like fireworks, and Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra for on the go.
Great tips as usual. If anyone is thinking about buying the OMA4 it would be great if you used the link in the description to help the channel. As Tesco says "Every little helps"😊
Most folk get way to bogged down in settings etc, which is great for the really serious video creator, but for the majority of us normal folk ,we just want be able to switch the thing on and point and shoot, with a little bit of help from folks like you. Just ordered the 4 to go with my 3 and now I can ditch my GOPRO(still better quality imho, but can't be bothered with freezing issues and loss of footage etc)Great video . 👍
The audio of your video both on the street with the DJI and in the studio is super good, could you make a video explaining how you achieve it? I can't have such good audio on my channel
Stumbled across your video and oh my word how helpful was it. I’m new to the DJI Osmo 4 and even a newbie like me understood what you were explaining. Got my camera to record my fishing adventures now I’m retired so will definitely be subscribing to your channel for more hints tips and advice. Thank you so much once again
Interesting video, thanks for sharing it. I will download your filming guide to give me a head start on setup of my new Osmo Action 4- thanks for offering it and the Booster LUT.
Hey! Great video. I’ve just received my Osmo Action 4 to use on my trip to New York tomorrow (21/09) I wanted to know what would be the best ideal settings for video capture, as I’ve never used an action camera before. I don’t plan on editing my footages. Thanks again! 🙏
Great video, thank you! I also feel like shadows seem a bit softer in D-Log M than Normal mode, Normal seems to be a bit more aggressive when it comes to light and noise reduction - but that might just be my experience
Great vid. I appreciate how you give practical tips too, like where to stand regarding the sun. For people new to vlogging that kind of advice is awesome. Thanks.
Hi Gabriel, really appreciated for the tips, additionally I think your color grading for the Dlog M looks a little bit blue-ish, you can use a drawer mask in FCPX to locate the white and black to see it more clear.
I can’t remember but you can dial-in the gain until the green audio bar at the top of the screen stretches to the far right without going into the orange. The gain will depend on how loud you talk, the placement of the mic, and the noise in the environment.
Hi Tamara! The lut you mentioned for normal colour (with booster lut) is not in the describtion, can you provide me with the link to downlowad it. Thanks!
Do you have low light image enhancement on or off when setting the EV below 0? I shoot in 4k 30fps normal color because I don't color grade in editing. have my ev at 0 and low light image enhancement off. Shoot videos at a higher movement speeds in and out of the woods so lots of sun and shade. Would you suggest still moving below 0 for a better quality video?
Hello Tamara Again a great video. Thank you for the free materials you gave. Your LUTs are always good ! OA4 is really a great camera, with a very nice and natural footage.
Nice tips! I just picked up an Action 4 this week. I have normal color set to -0.3EV too. I found out the free version of DaVinci Resolve doesn't read the D LOG M files correctly unless I transcode the footage. So sticking to standard for now.
Hi Tamara, I’m confused by frame rates, I’ve always had it on 30fps on my old action DJI but the Action 4 says I should use 25fps in the UK. What’s your recommendations? Many thanks Darren
Hey Darren. The frame rate recommendation is generally down to electrical frequency. In the UK it’s 50 Hz which is why 25 fps is recommended. It’ll generally stop lights flickering, however this is only true if you also adjust your shutter speed manually. So from an aesthetics point of view, it comes down to personal preference. I typically go for 25 fps because it looks less real life soap opera than 30 fps.
Maybe we can get some information about dji osmo action 4, 3.5mm adapter , it reminds me cynova adapter 3.5mm. It can using mic and charging simultaneously.
Great video! Do you have any advice on shooting in low light nightclub settings at 4K 60FPS with lots of flashing lights without getting too much grain and noise?
Any tips for handling that exposure change like 5:31? When you go into more shaded area, your faces goes really dark. It's like DJI isn't face priority exposure. This doesn't happen in GoPro or insta360 pro ace
Hi, just came across your videos and really like the easy way you come across with the best settings. I've downloaded your cheat sheet( brilliant) and have just subscribed...Thanks👍
So here's a possibly odd request for a video - how you shot the thumbnail for this video. I struggle with taking photos of my gear especially those with LED/touch-screens. They either get blown out or just can't get the focus perfect. This thumbnail is sharp and got me to stop my scroll too. Just curious. Thanks
Hello, I have an Osmo Action 4 device... I cannot activate the low light image improvement in the video section... It is always disabled, that is, it is off. What is the reason? How can I fix it?
I buy your luts to the dcinelike and now for dlog m , one click lut , perfect , i set ev -0.7 and use the medium , it perfect with no work for me to do.
Thankyou sister. I just got my gizmo this morning and i am going for a holiday tomorrow and these settings are like alien to me . Earlier i was using my iphone to capture footage . And this action 4 with manual settings like rocket science . I hope with your pdf i could get nice footage so that i can tag you if you are okey if people like me with action 4 needs help . Thanks again ❤
very nice video!please tell me when we i use the low-light setting at the day and the night?i have see all your video and try to shoot 180 shutter rule (with nd filters at day)but i dont know if i must have on or off the low light option.thanks!
How do you set, or how do you position your camera so as not to have a distorted image? I tried to shoot in portrait mode for tiktok but also the image looks distorted.
wow thanks Tamara for sharing this and i wanted to say that your luts are awesome they let me look rivers and sky really natural but also vibrant in my videos. i was very confused about this d-log profile because i am new to this and thought that it would take a whole effort to learn color grading but i just wanted to have decent footage and this luts make it so easy and are on point. the osmo 4 is always with me now🐶and your tips help a lot to understand more of this topic, with friendly greetings
Love your videos Tamera, and after seeing everyone talk about the Action 4 today I bought one for myself. I love the idea of it. I love the stabilization. I love the size and form factor. I love the quick start up feature. I love the batteries that it came with. I love the mounts. I even love the app. But I am not in love with the 4K image quality. I hate it! Its garishly over sharpened. In sunlight I can see every pore on my face and every imperfection seems exaggerated. In shadows my face looks like a buttery mess! The frames are filled with noise even when shooting in bright sunlight, and it has a hard time exposing for shadows or darker areas of the frame. Further, I love everything the wide angle lens pulls into the field of view, but I hate the distortion that comes with it. Even with the Dewarp FOV setting I see improvement but can’t seem to straighten out all the lens distortion . Its also hard getting things level and straight in the frame. I’m one who is not looking to do a lot of monkeying with the footage in post, and want good results straight out of the camera. I was wanting this to be my every day carry camera, so I’m going to see how things grow on me over the next 30 days. Still, I’m not throwing away the receipt.
@@TamaraGabrielUK thanks for the reply, yes I saw your video were you discuss this setting and the -2 sharpness was too soft for me. I went to sharpness=0 and did +1 on the noise reduction, which did seem to knock down a lot of the noise but not all on my face. I’m going to play around with this over the next few days to see if I can dial this in. I really hope there is a good setting because I really like everything else about this little thing!
@@Cthames123 Hello! If you want a great image ont of the box and if you don't need an action cam (you make quiet videos) I recommand you to buy the Pocket 3. For me it's perfect, even in normal profile, 1080p or 4k... And the face tons are really good. :) (one gimbal a day, one gimbal always, do you say that in UK? :) ) Cheers from France and Thanks to Tamara I'm really happy to follow you :)
@@MichaelSouverain thanks for the reply! I’m from Chicago, (USA), so not familiar with the British vernacular! I ultimately returned my action 4. Great form factor, great startup time, but too many issues with the quality. It was not better than an older cell phone with a cell phone gimbal, (Sony XZ2), which I was/still am using and I still had to produce $330 USD for it, (a good price but not free). I can’t get warm to the pocket 3 ideal mainly because it is too darn expensive, ($670) and there are cheaper alternatives to vlogging. The Pocket 3 is no doubt a fantastic device, but for how I shoot, first person vlogging, I think I’ll stay with my cell phone with gimbal setup. I’m not getting a 1in sensor, so I know I’d be limited in low light but I shoot in daylight 95% of the time. Thanks for recommending the Pocket 3, maybe I’ll return to this thought if the price drops by 50%.
Please, if the temperature sensor stops, is there a problem? If we set the temperature in PRO settings, the sensor will not make any color adjustments?
Thanks Tamara for this video. The footage out of the Action 4 looks amazing and colors true to life as expected with DJI. One question I had however : did you record this video in 30 or 60 fps and from your experience with the camera, does the dynamic range remain the same whether you shoot in 30 or 60 fps? Many thanks and have a great weekend, Stephane
@@TamaraGabrielUK I figured it out. Before you export the video, you go up to the top, where it says 4K Right next to export, you tap that and then there’s an option for watermark to the right and you can remove it there.
Hey Tamara, thanks for the detailed video everytime. I would like to know if the LUTs you are selling are good for every scenario? Like I make travel vlogs which includes food as well. So, will it work for me? I am really thinking to buy from you.
Great video, what setting do you recommend for image adjustment, I have set it to -2 for both. Also which rocksteady mode do you recommend? RS, RS+ or HB?
I have the Osmo action 4. On a sunny day it looks awesome. But things change on a cloudy day as you said. Also in a cityscape action camera footages look good. But if you take it to some greenery where lighting is tricky, it gets worse. You can see details are missing when lights come through tree leaves. Exposure adjustment and HDR fails in most cases. I would say Gopro has definitely a better image quality than Osmo action, but Gopros are really really buggy and useless. DJI is far better in terms of functionality. If you dont really need water proof feature and not going to use for action shots, i would recommend to get the DJI pocket 3 that was released last week, it has a 1 inch sensor. Really disappointing that the Action 4 released a month ago still uses a 1/1.3 inch sensor 🥲 I will probably sell my OA4 when the 1 inch action cam comes out.
You are doing great videos and you talk Nice and slow also yo explain things in a easy way. I am watching a lot of review on this action 4 camera. Most likely that i Will buy this instead of GoPro 11. And i hit the subscibe button so now i am a Happy subsciber on your chanel
@@TamaraGabrielUK lol hopefully soon lol i just bought 2 dji action camera 4 …. With the dji mic but cant seem to find anywhere online showing them working together … with the correct setting .. i am sure you know lol
Hello Tamara, I’ve been vlogging my travels casually but recently just bought Action 4 thanks to your review. Just have a quick question, what free editing software can you recommend for not so tech savvy when it comes to editing videos?
Oh cool! A good beginner-friendly editor is CapCut. It’s really easy to use and it’s free. I’ll be running a video editing for beginners workshop next week, that you might find useful too ☺️ www.tamaragabriel.uk/video-editing-for-complete-beginners-workshop
@TamaraGabrielUK Thanks for the video. I have a question. How do you stop the camera bouncing when you're walking? I can't seem to stop my camera from bouncing with every step I take, and I've tried all the settings. Thanks
I am new to using action camera for videos. May I ask for this particular vlog style video, did you shoot in 60fps or 30fps? What would be your recommendation in general? Also, for most social media purpose of viewing, do you think it is necessary to shoot at 4K? Cheers and great video.
I shot in 25fps. I choose 4K as it gives the best quality. It’s not so noticeable on a phone, but on laptops, computer screens, TVs, it is. There’s a link to a free filming guide in the description that you can download with all my settings 😊
I enjoyed the video you uploaded.😊 I also think it's a little bright when shooting in normal colors during the daytime on a sunny day, so I'm shooting in the same setting, but you're doing the same setting. ^^ Thank you for the great tip. And I think there's a strange phenomenon when shooting with a normal color instead of one D-Log M, but there seems to be a phenomenon where the brightness suddenly changes from bright to dark (or, conversely, from dark to bright) to 0.5 to 1 step automatically, but didn't you notice that? ISO is shooting in a fixed state. I'm so curious.🤔
Thanks Tamara for the helpful video and especially for the Action 4 Beginners’ guide! I recently purchased an Action 4 and have found your resources invaluable! 🙂 Just a quick question, as I’m learning to use the manual exposure mode- Do you recommend a minimum shutter speed and a maximum ISO? Some RUclipsrs say that anything below a 1/200 shutter speed negatively affects the stabilisation and that anything over 1600 ISO introduces too much noise.
You’re welcome 😊 Yeah, if you try to stay above 1/200 then the stabilisation won’t be affected. But yes, the higher the ISO the more noise, but sometimes it’s necessary to increase the ISO beyond 1600 to actually see what’s going on in the frame. Otherwise you can drop the shutter speed and use a gimbal.
Tamaraaa how can i freaking turn of the screen lock. I mean i dont want a freaking screen lock on neither the front or the back. It is sooo enoying to allways swipe up this screens.

Thank you 🤩
Thanks for the advise. What gain level do you use with the osmo an the Dji mic?
I can’t remember but you can dial-in the gain until the green audio bar at the top of the screen stretches to the far right without going into the orange. The gain will depend on how loud you talk, the placement of the mic, and the noise in the environment.

Nice tips! I just picked up an Action 4 this week. I have normal color set to -0.3EV too. I found out the free version of DaVinci Resolve doesn't read the D LOG M files correctly unless I transcode the footage. So sticking to standard for now.
Thanks for this note. I'll be using DaVinci Resolve Studio version so if I shoot D Log M I'll know to watch for a similar issue.
Hi Tamara, I’m confused by frame rates, I’ve always had it on 30fps on my old action DJI but the Action 4 says I should use 25fps in the UK. What’s your recommendations?
Many thanks Darren
Hey Darren. The frame rate recommendation is generally down to electrical frequency. In the UK it’s 50 Hz which is why 25 fps is recommended. It’ll generally stop lights flickering, however this is only true if you also adjust your shutter speed manually. So from an aesthetics point of view, it comes down to personal preference. I typically go for 25 fps because it looks less real life soap opera than 30 fps.
@@TamaraGabrielUK thanks so much, real life soap opera that made me laugh. I’ll make the change to 25. Take care. Darren

Hey Tamara, thanks for the detailed video everytime. I would like to know if the LUTs you are selling are good for every scenario? Like I make travel vlogs which includes food as well. So, will it work for me? I am really thinking to buy from you.
The LUTs convert D-Log M footage. So as long as you shoot in D-Log M, they will work.
Great video, what setting do you recommend for image adjustment, I have set it to -2 for both. Also which rocksteady mode do you recommend? RS, RS+ or HB?
I don't tend to go below -1 EV, for stabilisation while vlogging, I use RS
I have the Osmo action 4. On a sunny day it looks awesome. But things change on a cloudy day as you said. Also in a cityscape action camera footages look good. But if you take it to some greenery where lighting is tricky, it gets worse. You can see details are missing when lights come through tree leaves. Exposure adjustment and HDR fails in most cases. I would say Gopro has definitely a better image quality than Osmo action, but Gopros are really really buggy and useless. DJI is far better in terms of functionality. If you dont really need water proof feature and not going to use for action shots, i would recommend to get the DJI pocket 3 that was released last week, it has a 1 inch sensor. Really disappointing that the Action 4 released a month ago still uses a 1/1.3 inch sensor 🥲 I will probably sell my OA4 when the 1 inch action cam comes out.
I'm really digging your channel. You have a lot of great advice. Thanks for your hard work. New sub!!!✌️
Thank you! 😊
wow, nice vid, very informativ and good explained
Thank you, Tamara ❤
You’re welcome ☺️
Hi tamara nice video. What does converted to my Luts means?
Checkmate in OA4 settings!
You are doing great videos and you talk Nice and slow also yo explain things in a easy way. I am watching a lot of review on this action 4 camera. Most likely that i Will buy this instead of GoPro 11.

Which File Format you use on Action 4 for Best Quality ?
Do you have any videos on the dji action camera 4 and dji mic setting thank you

Hello Tamara, I’ve been vlogging my travels casually but recently just bought Action 4 thanks to your review. Just have a quick question, what free editing software can you recommend for not so tech savvy when it comes to editing videos?
Oh cool!
A good beginner-friendly editor is CapCut. It’s really easy to use and it’s free. I’ll be running a video editing for beginners workshop next week, that you might find useful too ☺️ www.tamaragabriel.uk/video-editing-for-complete-beginners-workshop
Love it thanks as always love my 4. ❤
@TamaraGabrielUK Thanks for the video. I have a question. How do you stop the camera bouncing when you're walking? I can't seem to stop my camera from bouncing with every step I take, and I've tried all the settings. Thanks
You can't really, all you can do is the ninja walk.
Hi! I went to Disneyland world and the 🌞 part of the day my Action 🎬 4 videos were bright. Whats you recommendation, maybe a ND filter or ????. Thx!
I'd drop the EV meter to -0.7 or -1 EV
@TamaraGabrielUK Thank you and where can I find you 'cheat sheet"?
The link’s in the description. The filming guide. It has the cheat sheet on the page
I am new to using action camera for videos. May I ask for this particular vlog style video, did you shoot in 60fps or 30fps? What would be your recommendation in general? Also, for most social media purpose of viewing, do you think it is necessary to shoot at 4K? Cheers and great video.
I shot in 25fps. I choose 4K as it gives the best quality. It’s not so noticeable on a phone, but on laptops, computer screens, TVs, it is. There’s a link to a free filming guide in the description that you can download with all my settings 😊
@@TamaraGabrielUK thanks for the prompt response. I will check it out and look forward to your future videos/posts.
I enjoyed the video you uploaded.😊 I also think it's a little bright when shooting in normal colors during the daytime on a sunny day, so I'm shooting in the same setting, but you're doing the same setting. ^^ Thank you for the great tip. And I think there's a strange phenomenon when shooting with a normal color instead of one D-Log M, but there seems to be a phenomenon where the brightness suddenly changes from bright to dark (or, conversely, from dark to bright) to 0.5 to 1 step automatically, but didn't you notice that? ISO is shooting in a fixed state. I'm so curious.🤔
Hi Tamara! Very nice video! Could you please confirm the resolution you've filmed this video? 4K / 60 fps
Thanks. 4K25
i cant set my low light otimization to auto. the option appears on the menu but nothing happens when i click on it. someone knows how to change this ?
Thanks Tamara for the helpful video and especially for the Action 4 Beginners’ guide! I recently purchased an Action 4 and have found your resources invaluable! 🙂 Just a quick question, as I’m learning to use the manual exposure mode- Do you recommend a minimum shutter speed and a maximum ISO? Some RUclipsrs say that anything below a 1/200 shutter speed negatively affects the stabilisation and that anything over 1600 ISO introduces too much noise.
You’re welcome 😊
Yeah, if you try to stay above 1/200 then the stabilisation won’t be affected. But yes, the higher the ISO the more noise, but sometimes it’s necessary to increase the ISO beyond 1600 to actually see what’s going on in the frame. Otherwise you can drop the shutter speed and use a gimbal.
Great! 🙂 Thanks so much for the quick reply!
I bet your looking forward to getting the pocket 3 right? This camera seems a little more up your street
I have it already. Great camera ruclips.net/video/rnL9rkdXbqo/видео.htmlsi=vnV0SZOBrUc9KaKB
Thank you so much for the help

Thanks.
Here you go 😊 www.tamaragabriel.uk/luts
Is d-log m available on auto mode ? On the osmo 4
Yes, You can shoot in auto exposure with D-Log M.
Tamaraaa how can i freaking turn of the screen lock. I mean i dont want a freaking screen lock on neither the front or the back. It is sooo enoying to allways swipe up this screens.
Please where can I download that free normal color profile booster LUT you mentioned at the end of the video? There is not link in descriptions
Ah sorry, it’s not available anymore
Helo! Video compression is HEVC or H.264? If HEVC which is the best or good hevc codec program?
I use HEVC and edit in FCPX. Works it Capcut too and most editing softwares.
@@TamaraGabrielUK Thank you🥰🙏
Where is the booster luts
