Overheating test. Bet the fps was not the same
Dji 4k 120fps for 45 mins
And Gopro 12 4K 30fps.....why? Gopro 12 can only record in 62 min on 4k 120fps, and 102 min on 30 fps.
overheating issue is due to EU regulation with Action 4, my global Japan version is just as long as what you had with GoPro 12 (I can even go 4K60 without a problem), I find that no one is complaining about it in the dji forum at all. all of the OA4 model that is outside of EU doesnt overheat fast like that
Luckily, there is a fix for it. :)
Can you explain this a little bit more? ;) @@betterthanathousand9686
DJI overheats as well?? Dang it, I thought they hadn't copied that flaw from Gopro, which is what I gathered from people around the internet..
@@Masterfighterx it does overheat if you use 4K 120fps in the middle of the sunny day no doubt about it
@@betterthanathousand9686 but that fix haven't reach these reviewers/influencers at all
I have the osmo action 3 and GoPro hero 8 both are great one thing is the GoPro preset menu is awesome but I think dji had caught up now great review
Kai, nice comparison but one key benefit of the OA4 is the ability to easily use it with external microphones like the DJI lav mics. Would have been nice to mention that since you have used it in some of the shots.
But not without the transmitter correct?
Extra 🤑
Yeah but the way the receiver connects is really silly and fragile. Stick the media mod on the GoPro and it's so much better for external mic connection
First time ever that I heard that GoPro don't overheat
osmo Action 4 is very nice
The best voice of camera videos.
I wonder which one would be better for the Backbone - ribcage mod.
As far as I know, Backbone doesn't mod DJI cameras, so GoPro is the only choice. Having owned the Backbone GoPro 11 for a year with a dozen C-mount lenses bought from aliexpress, I've had great pleasure filming 4K slow-mo footage at a cheaper price and smaller form factor than anything else on the market! Its main flaw is low light situations I would say. My favourite feature is probably the 8:7 aspect ratio, as I like to post things in both horizontal and vertical format.
GoPro is screwed, literary ! 😁
In car shots always look very weird filmed with GoPro, since they tend to steer the image a lot.
the action 4 details looks over sharpened to me
I agree. I have the hero 12, and the color and detail is great. I think it looks better than the action 4, but tastes vary.
No audio 10:23-11:32?
❤❤❤❤
I think the video was supposed to end there. The last part of this video is unedited footage.
he a lazy mf with the worst reviews
Let's call this the Director's cut 😆
What sort of car is that? IS that a Tokyo rental?
That's Kai's own Fiat 500 in the UK.
dji outperform gopro
Wow, this is the first video so far that the gopro didn't overheat vs the dji. What's going on here internet?
DJI simply cap the action 4 temperature because of EU regulations. None EU models like US and Global just beats the gopro in many test uve seen
@@yasunakaikumi woaah, i see i see. good to know. Thanks!
2:01 for the stabilization part, I don't think it's fair to compare the stabilization when action 4 is on its wider or ultrawide mode and gopro on its linear mode. The stabilization capabilities are both largely affected by the FOV mode and the stabilization mode. Meanwhile, I'm wondering what your settings are. In my daily use, if I manually limit the ISO or shutter speed, the stabilization on action 4 would be weird and jittery. But if I set it all in auto, everything is buttery smooth. I'm thinking it might be due to the different priorities of action cams EIS strategy when it comes to the stabilization. I would suggest doing a stabilization test when everything is set to auto and using its widest FOV and lowest stabilization mode. But still, thanks for your comparison video. Still learning a lot!
When you say limit shutter, do you mean set minimum shutter speed to say 1/200? Other videos I’ve seen say that this improves stabilisation?
Yes. sometimes i will also use 1/320 with ND, there will still be some motion blur but stabilized enough. @@17cream
You seem like an expert. I'm thinking of buying a Sony fs7 however the dn filter unit is damaged should I still buy it? Can I work around this
Gopros fail on me all the time, cold, warm, dry, wet, studio, location. They're just unreliable and it's a gamble using them. Dji all day. I'll never use a gopro again tbh.
I use a GoPro to film everything on my channel and the amount of anxiety it gives me on a daily basis is unbearable. Always turning itself off, corrupting files, and somehow manages to delete the audio track for some clips. It simply cannot be relied upon. I’m upgrading to the DJI.
I have the very same experience.
Just ordered a DJI action and a DJI osmo 4. The continuous updates from DJI for me kill any chance of me using GoPros too. It’s a better product tbh
The DJI deffo looks sharper but the colour also looks more natural to my eyes plus you can use an external wireless mic like the Rode wireless Me and you don't need to buy a "media mod" to use it and you can swap out batteries without having to take everything apart
Great job on the comparison. One feature I'm curious about is the UVC output mode on the DJI and whether it still supports stabilization while in that mode. Could be great for IRL streaming with an external encoder. I don't think the GoPro offers UVC as all.
That horizon lock is nuts.
Excuse me, where specifically did you test the batteries for oveheating? I mean which country? Did you know that it depends in which country the DJI is situated? There are higher limits of temperature wneh you are in the USA. Did you see similar test from your american collegues? Usually they have DJI as a winner
insta360 deserves to be in the competition
no
The reason the dji was never an option was the lack of gps....now GoPro did this.....
The GoPro provides SO much more data in its high bit rate modes. 150mbps vs only 90 on the DJI.
DJI is 130
As a company, DJI is a better tech company than gopro. DJI enter this category will definitely push gopro to work harder. Next gen action camera will be really good for consumers for sure.
Hey man, I absolutely love your videos. But I just want to say, I would have never found you had I not accidentally clicked on one of your videos. I'm saying this is the most constructive way possible: you need more interesting/eyecatching thumbnails in my opinion. At least to me, your thumbnails make the video look like it isn't very high level production and probably wouldn't be worth my time, but you make absolutely fantastic videos. Again, not trying to be rude, just saying I think better thumbnails would help a lot. Keep up the great work!
I'm looking for an action camera that will run 2 hours straight, without over-heating, for motorcycle endurance racing. I have watched many others' race footage, to find that their Gopro overheated. During the race, there is no time to make adjustments. Of all camera options, what would you recommend?
So, why is there no audio at the end?
I would say Kai exported the videos timeline too long... This would have been B roll left in by accident, at a guess.
Great video! I'm ready to bought a new action camera. Now i have the GoPro hero 7white.
What is your opinion, GoPro 12 or Dji Osmo 4????
Thanks🙏
Competition works to our advantage gopro no longer costs £500 but £400 which is the reason for this😂😂😂 They made a lot of money by not investing in innovations for so many years.
Does anyone know if there’s a shutter delay when taking photos on the action 4? I know it’s horrendous on the GoPro. You press it and an hour later, it takes the picture 😂
Why can't either of these companies develop a camera that has 4k60 and 120? I would be willing to pay a little more for it.
Do you mean 4k120? The GoPro has had it since the 10.
I so want to want the Sony action cam for the sensor and lens.
Sony has not made another SteadyShot camera since the FDR-X3000, which was released in 2016 and discontinued in 2019.
And it is still the champ when it comes to low light cameras in it's class.
Sold my 11, got the 12 purily for tge LOG feature, which only found it to be worthless as they capt it to 400 iso, way too underexposed, the HDR cant do flat and worsed of all 4:3 caps at 2.7k wereas the go pro 11 is 4k.. and all slow mo on 16:9 which is annoying, 4:3 and 8:7 is better... This year is a cash grabber fad, hopfully next year they will finally sortout low light issues! DJI sensor better last year and this year.. GO PRO! STOP SITTING ON YOUR HANDS!
I see that your car's sat nav only shows red light districts.
💩👎💩👎
u never have good weather in your vids :)
I just got the GoPro 12, as a bday gift. My first GoPro. I love it. Great camera, pocketable, fun. I use it for simple daily vlogging, not action. So far, so good. I also have a Sony ZV1, and you better believe I have my eyes set on the OSMO Pocket 3, but the GoPro is a great “throw in my jacket pocket” and never worry camera. I also got the Volta, which is brilliant. I can film for hours and hours on one battery. I love it!
Nice video, I’m puzzled with your image comparison for detail/sharpness. Other videos show the opposite with GoPro having the advantage. I’m totally confused….. was this set to log?
Insta 360 Ace Pro against these two? (I'm a little sketched out that they couldn't land any bigger YT'bers for the 360 embargo day...)
Just ordered OA4 form gopro hero 10 user gopro had a lot of issue and when i needed the most go pro went carzy haha
are you a photographer or just a talking head?
Would love to see a street photography review of the new iPhone 15 pro/pro max! I loved those videos!
Great video as always - 😁
DAMN if overheating is a thing with the DJI i'm not happy about it at all. Was gonna ditch the GoPro but the GoPro doesn't overheat, sucks that the image is not as good as the DJI
I think the GoPro actually has better colors, SOOC.
Thank you for shooting most of your footage in professional corrected rectilinear mode (de-warp, linear) instead of warped to shit like the other clown reviewers.
Turn the air con on for the windscreen and the Osmo won’t overheat 😊
he's proving a point :) I'm sure you can also open up the case up put some copper plating in there to spread the heat better to the case
Looks like you have the new Sony wireless W3 mic on your camera.
You missed the Insta360 ONE RS.... And the 1 inch Insta360 ONE R
Interesting outro 🙃
I bought Dji no regrets the photos and videos are amazing high quality
some even say DJI action 4 have no overheat issues and last longer than hero 12, think it depends on the use of the camera then ayy
Go pro is small right weird for me but I like Canon pretty much
Inside the car filming yourself the stabilization makes no sense.
9:09 i've kind of heard that the so-called overheating issue with Action 4 is due to the European heating regulations. never happened to action 4 in USA so far.
I think the claims of overheating being an issue are overblown for both cameras but I agree that his results may be the result of something specific to Europe because dozens of other reviews online (majority from the US) indicate despite GoPro improving the time to overheating, the Action 4 has consistently lasted longer at the same frame rates... this one review is the opposite?
Great Video! I will use an action cam for snowboarding and probably diving (not too deep). Anyone an idea which one I should buy?
Which 1 did you go for in the end, as I've been looking too
Suggest best setting for travel vlogging?
lol running after his hat at the end priceless 😝
💯💯💯
Dang. The in car footage looks way. better on the 12. Wasn’t expecting that.
The Action 4 stabilisation fall apart very quickly other than walking around. It's not action ready.
The stabilation is off when he recorded the car scene at the begining. @@DavideTravelli
More power Kai
First review that says gopro interface is better than dji
It would be nice to hear someone say that the stabilisation of Action 4 sucks too. Check at 2:10 I almost get motion sick watching at Action 4
I have both "Action cams" now and the image quality in good light appears better and with better dynamic range in my GP 12 on my monitor, and that's w/ almost all modes. They are both good cams though for what they are...
The DJI is MUCH more detailed than the GP12, I have both.
@@norseatheart1086 --> On my 4K monitor in good lighting conditions, I respectfully disagree, but both are awesome to have! And if you're getting better detail, you can't beat the DJI as an action cam, especially when used as such! 👍
I have both and the DJI Action 4 is unusable with sharpness set above its lower level of -2. But at -2 it outperforms the GoPro in multiple aspects!

Kai has been doing reviews before you were born dude. So stfu
Excellent video! I have both devices and enjoy them both. Sure wish GoPro would start using quick release clips and develop their own wireless mic set. Love the Fiat - I had the same model for a little over 8 yrs and enjoyed the heck out of it. ✌🏻
youtubers now are lazy as hell. Even Kai. What is this? you took these cameras for 2 hours? completely lack of detailed work. No quality comparision. Just a few quick shots with a stick, that's all.
For me in Florida the GoPro wins massively for not overheating as easily. That's a big enough problem that it's vastly more important than anything else.
I live in Malaysia and very near to the equator (84F - 91F). Every time I need to know if a new action cam got overheated or not, I always refer to Florida users. Thanks!
Gopro 12 will overheat if you put on 4K 120 fps
They'll all overheat, but according to this video the GoPro does better
I dive in Florida and there is no better diving camera than DJI osmo4 I think you should thank DJI that your gopro only costs $400 and not $500. If you lose a video on GoPro a few times, you will lose the desire to use GoPro, unless they got down to business and finally did something. Let's remember that competition is good for us as customers.
What are you talking about the gopro will overheat first not the oa4
Made it to 2:10 - Why all the reviewers say stabilization is great on both cameras? Action 4 is wobbly and jittering, it's all over the place. Action cam should have great stabilisation for action things not just for walking around vlogging.
watch from 1:11 again and read.
Was waiting for this!
The dji has a surprising good image and even the audio is ok
The ending was rather interesting! haha
Amazing to see even the pros make mistakes!
@@FPVwineUK he no pro, he a scam artist
Very nicely made video!
Its clear youve made too much effort into making this one! 💯
Kai W !!!! OK !!! Its time to get the iphone 15 pro max and test it vs dslr ... im writhing for your review ... make it happened !
Thanks for the comparison 😊.
Brilliantly delivered review
Thank you a non bias review. It’s easy to understand your preference and why but you do highlight wins and losses with both platforms well. It’s appreciated to see during my research.
A top review of the two cameras. Need to make a choice for my first cycling action camera.
And? I go for DJI all the way. Tomorow ill get one :)

Hi Kai. I'm a big fan. I'm planning on upgrading from a hero 10 (over heating issue and poor battery performance). Having a subscription, I can purchase a hero 12 for $299 or switch to OA4 for $399. I have the gopro media mod. What do u think?
kai , are things that bad that you are now reviewing action cams ? how the mighty have fallen.
you are better than this
What nobody is talking about is data rates. My Hero 11 (basically same as Hero 12) gives me about 150mbps over about 90mbps on the DJI. I find that colours crush much easier on my DJI and attribute it to the data rates but maybe im wrong about that. I do prefer to user interface and frame rate options on the DJI though. It's both more simple and gives more shooting options at the same time, but it's swings and roundabouts because in a social media age that 8:7 aspect is pretty handy when you don't know if you want landscape or portrait or both......
DJI 130 vs GoPro 12 120 (lab 200)
@17cream I put then both next to each other and recorded for a minute. That's not what I got
@@longshotvisuals2252 so did you enable 150 in lab?
This is a paid advertisement by the DJI company 😉
I have a dji pocket 2 and a gopro 10. I like the quality and features of the pocket, but the handle module overheats. The gopro also overheats and freezes (touch screen stops working) in summer heat. Gopro seems unbeatable for ease of use.
I also have an insta 360 go2, but build quality is poor and the mic broke.
Gopro stabe is amazing.

Would be nice to put these to some tests to see how tough they still are!
On that note, I think an update to the old "DSLR durability test" of the DRTV days is way overdue :D. I'd really be curious to see how the modern day mirrorless camera holds up to the kind of abuse those poor cameras got in the past.
Perhaps the YT landscape has changed meanwhile but I still believe there are enough followers waiting for you and Lok to fill back the content gap that you've both dug up and then left open after leaving DRTV.
Hi, thanks for the interesting and useful comparison video. Overheating is quite a pain in the butt if you need to record some longer videos. I make walking videos and I was looking for a good option. Dji looked good, but according to the video, the recording time is not that great. So maybe better to use other devices? Like maybe the Sony Zv-1, or a phone like Samsung or Iphone for longer videos? Any advice? Thanks!
