Good and helpful video Shawn. Just taken delivery of mine to upgrade from the OA3. Is just a shame that the ND lens screw mount does not allow the ones i had for the OA3 to be used. Will need to buy a full replacement set! Both cameras look the same except for the lens filter screw size. A very marginal difference. Hadn't picked that up before.
It's related to the reduction of image noise (due to low light and high sensitivity of the sensor), not related to audio, if that's what you are unsure about. With current firmware, the noise reduction is settable in the same [-2,+2] range as the sharpness. It's a matter of taste, I chose -2 for sharpness and -1 for NR.
I returned back my djji Osmo pocket 3 and purchased dji Osmo action 4 instead which is much more versatile, does the same things as Osmo pocket 3 AND MORE and it is also WATERPROOF which is a huge deal for me as I do a lot of underwater filming as well. I am also not a big fan of the mechanical gimbal on a handheld camera because it doesn't seem to follow well all the time and it is too fragile. I would recommend the Dji Osmo ACTION 4 adventure package! It's cheaper than Pocket 3 and offers lot more! I it is just a better deal all around!
Just got my action 4. But I'm having trouble with the web site. And setting up the remote can you pair 2 cameras together? One of the best video's I've seen so far.
Great video again! Loving my new osmo action 4 but still trying to work out the best sharpening/noise settings, want it to look natural and not too digital but dont want to lose detail. Any tips as to what settings you use? Many thanks 🙌
Hi Phil! Have you managed to figure the best setting? Would you mind sharing it here? I’ve just got my OA4 and is trying to figure the best settings as well
Aloha~ after doing researching i have decided to drop GP,i have had 9,10 &12 and was not happy,,,after many studies esearhes changing settings same old problems so no more GP for me, Now i got my eyes on action4 i am very interested in low light/night shooting mode...wish me luck w/action4 lol Mahalo!
I just want to add that nothing is "water proof" they are water RESISTANT up to 60ft (18m) only if the lens cap is on tight and battery door shut properly. any deeper you need the dive case that is good for 197ft (60m) if I remember the numbers correct. Main point is some people get confused due to marketing saying water proof or water resistant and not making a standard saying and causing people to damage equipment due to negligence of actual manual reading for products. Over all great review and enjoy the videos, they are super helpful.
Very nice tips! I was unsure whether I should watch yet another OA4 video explaining how to set resolution, framerate and other basic stuff ... because it's rather self-explanatory. But instead this turned out to be quite useful. I tend to never read manuals, so I would have missed changing the screen off time while recording ... Thanks!
Great straightforward tips! One question I have been searching unsuccessfully for is if the Action 4 has AE Lock (Exposure Lock) wherein you can select an area on screen and lock exposure?
1:30 what are the features with new mounting clips? Most of the videos tend to miss explaining this. I have action 3 adventure pack and action 4 combo.
Any tips on what settings to use for videoing small objects? I just bought one for Metal Detecting and no matter what I do I can't get it to focus on the objects.
@@clau.iglesias.trujillo you should be aware that if you remove the front lens cover of dji or go pro your camera would no longer be waterproof. That staff gave you wrong information.
Hello I just bought the camera. I like it, how do you keep the screen on the whole time? Why you are videoing so it doesn't go black. I mean so I can be doing my videos, I mainly do it for my RUclips channel. I love the camera and my also, my GoPro channel. I want to keep the screen on while I am videoing without having to touch. It is your way you can do that. Thank you
I was sure you were/are a GoPro. That being said, it seems timing of Action 4 release, was intended to get the jump up on The GoPro 12. Can’t wait to see a comparison. Great job, Sean!! As always.
LOVE your work Shawn for all the DJI and GP vid’s. Simple and direct information, thank you. You show a DJI Osmo selfie stick with remote in this vid. Do you have a link for this ? I don’t find it in the DJI store and Amazon. Thank you in advance.
Thank you very much and here is a link to it on Amazon. www.amazon.com/Osmo-Action-1-5m-Extension-Rod/dp/B0B8ZR2JKD/ref=mp_s_a_1_16?keywords=dji+osmo+action+4+accessories&qid=1692356013&sr=8-16
Rocksteady plus will give you an extra layer of stabilization little smoother, but it is more Cropped in. Most of the time I use just regular rocksteady I find it works very well.
So when I am recording video how do I pause and unpause recording? I don't want to start and stop. Looks like the function is not available, but it would be nice to be able to pause and unpause.
Great information Shawn. i don't have the DJI Action 4, but if I do buy one I will go back and rewatch this video so I can take advantage of this tips. Thanks for sharing.
Thanx for the great video. One question please: You gave a tip about image adjustment, but in my OA4 this option simply doesn't exist. Instead, I have only 3 options, not 4, with the image adjustments option missing. Is there a software upgrade I need to do, or what?
Put it in Linear with the maximum stabilization enabled, will really crop it in. Plus you can use the digital zoom, but it will degrade the quality a bit.
Hold on here before you go into all this guff sorry to be so honest you have to download the DJI Osmo Action 4 app from your phone then choose the correct sim card otherwise the blasted thing will only give you a maximum of 20 mins recording time. Please advise me what is the correct sim card to use and finally Thank You.😈
Action 4 has to be the finest action cam out. Love that it streams while recordng to your phone. Something GoPro stopped after the 8.

Wow thanks
thank you for the informative videos 🙏
Watched the video. Is the remote control stick definitely compatible with the action 4

I just got this to replace my Osmo Action...yeah it's been a while. Can't wait to put these tips to good use.
Thank you so much for this Video. I am having Osmo action 1 and now using Osmo action 4
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, perfect video. Can I ask you? Time 8:40 Noise reduction. What does it mean this function?

With current firmware, the noise reduction is settable in the same [-2,+2] range as the sharpness. It's a matter of taste, I chose -2 for sharpness and -1 for NR.

My pleasure 😊
I couldn’t figure out how to get that damn door back on till I realized it slid out 😂

Does it require that extra mount to record native vertical video, or I can always turn it sideways and just do it?
Just got my action 4. But I'm having trouble with the web site. And setting up the remote can you pair 2 cameras together? One of the best video's I've seen so far.
Very very helpful Sean. Thankyou very much. I've been sitting on the fence as to whether to get the OA4 or wait for GP12 to come out.
It may be worthwhile to wait
Thanks for your time

Dude you are on it! I am getting a Action camera 4 to mount on my e-bike this friday
Awesome 👍

I own and love my Osmo Action 1. Does it make sense to buy the Osmo Action 4 now when the price drops down? Will I get much better performance?
Well done. I'm going to purchase one. Good health.
Great straightforward tips!
One question I have been searching unsuccessfully for is if the Action 4 has AE Lock (Exposure Lock) wherein you can select an area on screen and lock exposure?
Thanks a Lot, Very Helpfull
Just bought an Action 4. I’ll never buy another GoPro. Idk why I’ve been dealing with their issues for so long. Nomas!
Just ordered one yesterday!
Awesome enjoy your new camera when you get it 🙂
Brilhante... i am getting my osmo action 4 and some acessorys as soom a i find a discont..
NICE VIDEO! the low light Enhanced works if you have stabilization horizontal 45'(degrees) and 2k(25 fps)?thanks
Thank you for the video. Great tips!
Glad it was helpful!
very good, all important tips are explained very well. Good shout out... for new users like me.
1:30 what are the features with new mounting clips? Most of the videos tend to miss explaining this. I have action 3 adventure pack and action 4 combo.
Hi there! Thanks for the Video. Question, are the Videos and Photos compatible to upload on a MacBook Pro?

Exdellent. Super Helpful. Thank you
Tip 2a when you take the lens cover off you get better lowlight performance
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the Video
Thanks for this! As I just bought mine and the worker on DJI store told me to don't use the camera lense while diving to get better image 👀
What do you mean camera lens?
@@roninr8199 The circular protection that you screw around the lens

Another informative video from you. Simple and well put together. Got the tips across well in a relaxed manner. Thank You. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent tips - thank you. 👍
Shawn, what settings would you recommend for low light shooting like Night POV Street. Mostly regarding ISO and Denoise.
Great tips, Shawn! I recently bought an Action 3 (which probably triggered the Action 4 release!) but many of these tips still apply!
Absolutely brilliant, what a fantastic little camera, I'm gonna get one now. Thanks, Kev.

Thank you. Very well done and super helpful for us new Action Cam 4 owners. Cheers! 😀
Great to hear!
Hi, how do you delete a store profile setting, for example c2? Thx!
Great video. Most of these work on action 3 also. Great job
Yes they do.
Thank you! 👌🏼
A lot of other reviewers never pointed out the red accents signifying the waterproofness.
I’m glad they started doing that. I think it’s a great feature.
Would you use Rock Steady or Rock Steady +? I’m confused by the difference and not sure which to use for a majority of my shots.
Rocksteady plus will give you an extra layer of stabilization little smoother, but it is more Cropped in. Most of the time I use just regular rocksteady I find it works very well.

That feature is not available. You can always stop and start recording.
Thanks
Can you charge the battery in camera while filming or run off an external battery?
can you please suggest the best memory card for action 4
Good 1 Shawn

Do you have the latest firmware?
@@AirPhotography I'm not sure. It is straight out of the box. Were there firmware updates since it's release? And if so, how do I update?
@@guyhanoi8561you can update the firmware by connecting the camera to DJI Mimo app
What can you tell me about downloading the app. Are their security issues with it? Looks like they are trying to ban dji drones. Are cameras next?
What does the portrait setting do in the image adjustment section?
Hello.. after i submerge it in the water the speaker sound squeaky.. Is it normal?
Would you suggest waiting for the GoPro 12?
Perhaps it would not be a bad idea. It’s probably only 3 to 4 weeks away.
Any tips to have smaller FOV? I hate that it’s so wide and make things in front much smaller, losing quality when cropped.
Put it in Linear with the maximum stabilization enabled, will really crop it in. Plus you can use the digital zoom, but it will degrade the quality a bit.
@@AirPhotography thank you so much for your reply, can you explain what linear means? Is this a function?
@@AmberToyPoodle a straight horizon with a more natural perspective
can you use the mic that came with the osmo pocket 2 do it all handle with this?
Unfortunately, no it is not compatible
Shawn, can you confirm if the ND filters for the Original Osmo Action, fit the Action 4?
They don't.
Figures@@DustyFingersRC
My Action 3 suffers from being slightly blurred. Have they fixed this in Action 4? Meanwhile my Action 3 is in a drawer marked "ramell".
Indeed, it is completely fixed
Voice command ‘stop recording’ not working 😢
Mr how to turn off ? Auto turn off ? Because there no option for never for auto turn off !! In the end only 30 minute
Using the gps Bluetooth remote has anyone figured out how to add gps telemetry data into your videos?
I’m still waiting to get one, but I do plan on testing it thoroughly and getting everything figured out once I can get my hands on it
@@AirPhotography thanks but I figured it out
Did you already crashed it? I see many marks all around the camera.
It’s an action camera, I wouldn’t be surprised because that’s what it’s made for
Indeed. I have used it well 😂

1:40 what's new redesigned ones?
Adapter name?
My action 4 doesn't have image adjustment for NR and sharpness?????
Never mind, sucks to have to download an app for firmware.
😀
Please sir give me one drone phantom please😢
