***OVERHEATING VIDEO COMING TOMORROW! I want to make sure it's awesome for you guys. Ring that bell so you get notified when it launches. What do you guys think of the Osmo Action 3?!
Living in Florida, definitely looking forward to the overheating video tomorrow! Personally, I hated the design of the Action 2 and absolutely LOVE that they brought 4K 120 since I’m a 30fps timeline guy. And invisible selfie stick??? I knew they shared the Insta360 building! 😂
The overheating was the most annoying thing in OA1, as well as that it doesnt work as a webcam after pluging through usb c to the PC, does this one works as a webcam?
I know a lot of people ripped on the osmo action 2 but it’s been my fav action cam ever made. Mostly for its light size for the camera. I fly FPV and the fact that I can fly such a light camera and it’s as wide as it is, super impressive. Never dealt with overhearing issues. Wish they would make 2 categories just like GoPro is doing.
@@JasonParham83 they just want to compete directly with go pro. I get it but it’s lame. They have so many different drones because they don’t really have competition in the drone world
We don't know if they will. Maybe they had enough to inovate the old model, but not enough for the action 2 model. For all we know action 4 might be an improvement on the action 2 design.
This was such a fan and informative video! You're a likeable guy, upbeat, you know how to test your equipment and show the results, and you can do some pretty good editing, it's the whole package. I liked it a lot. Subscribed.
Shout out to all the poe people like myself, in a few years we'll get the Osmo 3 action, until then now I can finally afford the Osmo action 1 who's with me? I just ordered a refurb from best buy😜
Omg I just learned I can mount it vertically on the selfie stick per the vertical mount, thanks bc I was holding it sideways making my shoulder all weird
Good video. Ordered the DJI Osmo Action 3 Adventure combo Friday just gone. I'd love to get the DJI wireless mic, but DJI New Zealand sell it for NZ$699. So I'll have to wait another 2 weeks before I've got money to buy it. You can't escape that wind noise, so good to get it.
How about low light, heavy 'crud' turbidity conditions? Trying to capture "grazers" eating eel / ribbon grass in tannin stained river as sun light changes daily .. which works better?
Ok my Question is. Will I be able to use a cable between the DJI Mic kit & the OSMO 3 Just wondering 💭 how durable those 2 plugged into each other will be for Mountain Bike riding.
Great video as always!! Was really excited to upgrade from the DJI Osmo Action 1 to the new DJI Osmo Action 3! However, after 2 bad cameras I'm writing as many reviews as I can to warn people NOT TO BUY OSMO ACTION 3 camera unless it's manufactured after 10/22. My 1st camera was manufactured 9/22 and the 2nd camera was manufactured 10/22. Both had the mushy video issue that has been talked about by RUclips creators!! I purchased the 1st camera from Amazon and the 2nd camera was a replacement camera directly from DJI. I love DJI products but felt DJI just punched me in the nose by sending me the 2nd camera from a batch of cameras that they knew had issues!! Eventually just asked for my money back from Amazon. Even asked DJI directly if I ordered from them could they guarantee my a Action 3 with a manufacturing date of 11/22 and they punched me in the nose again and said that they couldn't guarantee me basically a good camera!! Really frustrated as this point as I really wanted this camera!!
I saw Costco reviews mentioning the same issue. Amazon rating is only 2.7. but RUclipsrs said Action 3 is good. Now I am very confused. Should I get Action 2 or 3 🤔?
If they integrated the wireless mic receiver into the Action 3 body I would be all over this in a heartbeat. Great comprehensive review David! I don't comment much, but I always love your work.
Thank you TrailSage, that's super kind of you to say! That would be incredible to have that all integrated, but for now, this setup with the mics if for sure the slickest audio kit for an action camera. I'll probably still run my F2-BT with lav because I'm a glutton for punishment and having to sync in post, but for a quick go to, it's pretty rad to have the wireless setup!
@@DavidManningvlog Thx for the reply David. My concern is I shoot a lot of POV with a chest mount for MTBing, and having the receiver clipped into the side of the camera would probably just fall out. Even if they had to make the body a little bigger to include the receiver it would be a game changer IMO.
Can it do bouth mic in and external power? Let's say I need a external power bank and microphone at the same time. I usually film for more then 4 hours...
How quick such a camera will get destrotyed after using it at beach few times, swimming pool (chemicals)? I know we will rinse it with fresh water... but still... I wonder if case isn't better ?
Hi Danny insightful video, ive seen few review videos, but your footage appears to be alot sharper. I believe it’s how the footage is processed and uploaded.
My 1st action cam was the Osmo Action 1, and I've banged, dropped, drowned and left it under the sun for hours having used it more than a year now and it still works like day 1. I skipped the Action 2 due to the reported issues it had and it seemed "rushed" for the lack of a better word. I'm glad DJI listened and delivered with the Osmo Action 3. I look forward to upgrading to it when it becomes available in our region. Cheers!
I wish these reviews would touch on the photography aspects of the camera. I loved the photos the original Osmo would take. It could take raw photos without fisheye distortion and GoPro‘s can’t do that. It also had auto exposure bracketing which was sick! GoPros don’t do that either. So I’m wondering what the new camera can do.
I have owned 7 GOPROs now, regardless of what you think of DJI the problem is this: GOPRO has experienced a huge shift in their customer service standards. Previously, as a subscriber they would honor the warranty and fix/replace. Currently, I have a GOPRO 10 that has experienced multiple bouts of failures resulting in complete data loss. I am still a subscriber and they have not fixed my issue, despite HOURS of phone calls to off shore customer service reps, nor responded to ANY emails I have sent. I am so disappointed with their customer service and the fact that they didn't honor the replacement standards they offer members.
you need to register the camera, with a mobile phone..and it needs as higher OS than I have (DJI Mimo runs on mine Android 8.1 but states I need 9 or higher to work, so not risking buying the camera). im not paying hundreds for a new phone just to use a camera... very few places (even amazon) point this out. I also dont like that I have to register the camera , and only get 5 attempts or it bricks the camera. way too big brother for me. No one mentions this in reviews.
what about an adapter for the regular lav's mic? or is compatible with a lav mic usb c connector instead of 3.5mm jack? i'm thinking about mount it in my motorbike helmet like the gopro hero 4 thank you for the review i liked a lot this action camera
So my question is how well does it pick up sounds at distance? I would use it in the woods while hiking and would like to pick up elk sounds that could be 10 yards to 100 yards? If not good what would you recommend to achieve this?
I guess the "skiing and snowboarding stick blending" feature not being available for skateboarding has to do with the fact that while in the mountains you have much less color variations than in the streets of a city. still a cool feature
I think they would probably respond with user error on that. But if you can show that one of the seals around the doors were faulty, then maybe they could help you out. I would hit up their customer support with photos
Does the osmo action 3 have a prerecord feature like GoPro hindsight? As a fisherman, the hindsight feature is invaluable. Loving the price point of the osmo though!
How confident are you in the strength of the connection between the DJI mic and the camera? For an action camera, say moto vlogging, I'd be a little worried that my mic receiver would fall off.
Hello, thx for another awesome video. Have you tried to freeze the cam down before turning it on? Because gopro actually runs pretty well when you start recording at warm conditions and then changes to cold. But it realy s..cks when you are trying to start recording while the cam/battery is already cold. Best sample when the camera or battery is in the bag in winter.
Great Video, question. Does the lens have the water repellent feature where coming out of water there are no droplets on the lens like the GoPro Hero 10?? Thank you.
Excellent job. I'm actually looking to run the DJI mic into a tascam recorder that way I have one soundtrack for 2-3 video sources (moto vlogging) - which should have the advantage of keeping all of it rain proof.
I wish the Action3's USB interface was positioned in a way that the DJI Wireless Mic receiver could be mounted more flush(ly) when it's connected to the camera. Kinda weird seeing it sticking out like that.
To be fair, the GoPro’s version with the Rode Wireless GO II requires the MediaMod and then the rode up top and a cable connecting the Rode to the MediaMod
Apparently that rubber ring is just a lens protector. Also, I found it harder to unscrew with that thing on the camera. When I take it off, it's really easy to unscrew.
GoPro 11 and other GoPro don’t overheat if you have the screen go off after 1min, GPS turned off etc just like that camera is actually doing just GoPro by default has too many things going on so it’s goto overheat tho depending on the conditions may not like riding against a cold windy summer day
Question on the DJI Mic. How well do you think the USB C would stay in the camera if I have the Action 3 attached to my chest strap while bombing down really chunky rocks on a Mountain Bike. My current set up is the GoPro Hero 10 with DJI mic and it doesn't move because of the shoe.
Excellent review. Love the performance of this action cam. Along with the DJI mic it is a killer set up. I know where I am going next for my new action cam. Thanks.
The Wireless Mic setup might be the coolest feature! I couldn't believe those results putting it on there. The use cases for a system like that are endless!
I'm not having any focus quality issues with the OA3. It has a fixed focus of 0.3m to infinity, which. means that if you're holding the camera closer than about a foot away, then it will be out of focus. Anything further than that and you should be good to go👍
hi, is still worth to buy osmo action 3??i gonna just use to video basic minimal 1080p for 3 to 5hrs straigh if possible connectin always to power.. for my vlog walking or bike or timelapse
***OVERHEATING VIDEO COMING TOMORROW! I want to make sure it's awesome for you guys. Ring that bell so you get notified when it launches. What do you guys think of the Osmo Action 3?!
The osmo looks sick, still leaning towards the insta360 X3 tho 🤔

@@will-beck but only invisible in the snow.... that kinda sucks.
Other than that, I'm in love with this camera
The overheating was the most annoying thing in OA1, as well as that it doesnt work as a webcam after pluging through usb c to the PC, does this one works as a webcam?
Giving DJI the credit for continuously innovating. If I were to be honest, it seems we never get this much of an upgrade in one go from GoPro.
Can you use something like a lavelier mic with a USB to 3.5mm Dongle?
I know a lot of people ripped on the osmo action 2 but it’s been my fav action cam ever made. Mostly for its light size for the camera. I fly FPV and the fact that I can fly such a light camera and it’s as wide as it is, super impressive. Never dealt with overhearing issues. Wish they would make 2 categories just like GoPro is doing.
Right. Why can't DJI just have two cameras. They have a bunch of different drones for differe t use cases, why not the same for their action cameras?
@@JasonParham83 they just want to compete directly with go pro. I get it but it’s lame. They have so many different drones because they don’t really have competition in the drone world

You made me decide to finally buy this one over gopro11...Thank you David for sharing your talent👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Thanks Marco! Stoked you're here man!
Great video! I just got the action 3 and this video was super helpful!!
DJI never fails to listen to its users and release software updates for its product. You can't go wrong with DJI!!
I just ordered the osmo action 3 and dji mics just now i am so excited
I love cuts clothing
Shout out to all the poe people like myself, in a few years we'll get the Osmo 3 action, until then now I can finally afford the Osmo action 1 who's with me? I just ordered a refurb from best buy😜
Is that wireless mic receiver hanging by just the usb c connector? If so, that will break for sure at some point.
Omg I just learned I can mount it vertically on the selfie stick per the vertical mount, thanks bc I was holding it sideways making my shoulder all weird

can it be use for Vlogging...? specially street walk... please tell
Possible to also cover if we could use DJI OM Action 3 to direct live stream to RUclips/Facebook? And what are the setting options like?
So it looks like it can usb mics but the problem is going to be using a mic and external power.... I doubt the mic adapter from OA 1 will work?
How about low light, heavy 'crud' turbidity conditions? Trying to capture "grazers" eating eel / ribbon grass in tannin stained river as sun light changes daily .. which works better?
I haven't even finished exploring the Action 2 yet. A lot to explore on that and now 3!!My action 1 still rocks !!
Ok my Question is. Will I be able to use a cable between the DJI Mic kit & the OSMO 3
Just wondering 💭 how durable those 2 plugged into each other will be for Mountain Bike riding.
Is this camara suitable for recording indoors for mainly guitar playing? How does it react to not great lighting and so on?
Can you do a low light stabilisation test?Because every gorpo sucks..
Good video, I love the dji , will dji have
1- Photos from Video
2-Star Trails
3- Vehicle Light Trails
4- Scheduled Capture. TimeLapse (important)
i have just gone for the action 3 but cant see anywhere that talks about what usbc to mic adapter i should use... any ideas .... cheers pal
So, what to buy if you didn’t have any cameras?
X3, GoPro 11 or Osmo 3?
Can you make a comparison between the DJI Action 3 and any Samsung phone in low light?
I love how good that wireless mic sounds against the wind.
The audio from the built in mics is relatively good. Most action camera mics don't perform as well.
It absolutely is and I wish more people had better expectations of what an action camera with tiny little mics can do🤣
Very informative video with great effort. If camera had life like us, it might have felt very happy for a stunning ride as you have shown us 😊❤
Have you had any focus issues at close distances? Seems to be a hot topic
Really smart with how they’re building their ecosystem. Action 3 + wireless Mic should come in a premium adventure kit!
If companies can learn anything from Apple, it's that ecosystem rules! Super clever that these two work so well together!

@@DavidManningvlog video on audio setup options with this cam 👍🏽
That would be a game changer. I know this is due to cost, but I'm sure people would have paid $35 more for 'nearby' wireless mic even.
@@DavidManningvlog Thx for the reply David. My concern is I shoot a lot of POV with a chest mount for MTBing, and having the receiver clipped into the side of the camera would probably just fall out.

What do you mean you can't the stick removal for skateboarding? How does the application know the difference?
Can it do bouth mic in and external power?
Let's say I need a external power bank and microphone at the same time. I usually film for more then 4 hours...
You've attracted me to buy this cam. Does it support live preview on the Mimo App while recording video?
IT DOES🙌
How quick such a camera will get destrotyed after using it at beach few times, swimming pool (chemicals)? I know we will rinse it with fresh water... but still... I wonder if case isn't better ?
quick question.does it also resist hot temperatures?
Hdmi output? Mic input? I really want this Osmo3, but i need same fuctions as a Gopro with media mod. Any good advice?
Is it still waterproof or at least water resistant (rain) with the wireless audio fitted?

looking to buy my 1st camera and this thing looks amazing. audio is a lot better than the hero 11, fast charging is really nice, never overheats,....
I would like to see a low light comparison between the new DJI and the new GoPro. I do a lot of low light filming with Action cameras
Its a lot better. Potato jet did night time stuff.

dji osmo pocket 2 vs dji action 3, which one better for vlogging, like going around city and many places?
I guess the "skiing and snowboarding stick blending" feature not being available for skateboarding has to do with the fact that while in the mountains you have much less color variations than in the streets of a city. still a cool feature
What can I do if I buy the camera and record underwater and got water damage and 14 day return is over
I think they would probably respond with user error on that. But if you can show that one of the seals around the doors were faulty, then maybe they could help you out. I would hit up their customer support with photos
Good review. You talk English very clear for me. Perfect!
The wireless kit sounds AMAZING!
Best review so far! You cover details that I didn’t hear from other reviewers. 👍
Would you recommend the Osmo action 3 or the GoPro hero 10?
How is the low lights?
Thanks for review is very informative. Its help a lot to decide to that's why i very to buy this kind of action camera for blogging.
Does the osmo action 3 have a prerecord feature like GoPro hindsight? As a fisherman, the hindsight feature is invaluable. Loving the price point of the osmo though!
Man the DJI Mic is great w the wind screen thing on, I have both, it’s killer audio
can it preview footage to another device over wifi while you're recording, without large delay?
off topic, but do you have a link for that apple watch strap ? Cheers
Man! This camera is almost perfect but very closed. I like everything about it. Especially the price too.
How confident are you in the strength of the connection between the DJI mic and the camera? For an action camera, say moto vlogging, I'd be a little worried that my mic receiver would fall off.
I just bumped into your video because I wanted to buy DJ Action Camera 3. Am glued here. #NewSubscriber.

I'll be interested to see comparison videos with this, the new gopro 11 and the insta 360.
Coming very soon my friend👍

Can it be mount on Avata?

will buy this camera...
Love this 😁
Seems like a decent vlogging device
Solid vlogging device and SUPER solid battery charging system! That fast charging is bananas!

Thank you. You cover all the basics and the details of every review you do. Much appreciated
Absolutely! Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it👍
I have a question. Is this webcam worth being interested in? I generally need to record underwater as it dives and sometimes filming outside
Great video. Can the mic adapter be turned the opposite way so that the bulk of it is towards the lens side so that it works better with helmets?
Are you gonna do a comparison to the GP11?
Welcome back to the action cam market, DJI!! 😲😲
Is it worth upgrading from the original osmo action?
Any idea if this has a feature similar to the Hindsight found in the GoPro?
I really want to see how the new Dji action 3 footage at night compare with GoPro hero 10 or even GoPro 11.
I'll make sure to get that in the upcoming comparison👍
What do you say about focus quality? Some user reported some problems.
I'm not having any focus quality issues with the OA3. It has a fixed focus of 0.3m to infinity, which. means that if you're holding the camera closer than about a foot away, then it will be out of focus. Anything further than that and you should be good to go👍
Hi, can it zoom? And work under low light condition? Please advise, thanks!
David, you should use the Action 3 to film this video. I notice that most of the reviews are filmed with pricy camera equipment.
great video, how do you feel it compares with the dji pocket 2?
hi, is still worth to buy osmo action 3??i gonna just use to video basic minimal 1080p for 3 to 5hrs straigh if possible connectin always to power.. for my vlog walking or bike or timelapse
