You’re amazing at filming. Any tips how a beginner like me could begin to learn? Did you take college courses to learn, watch many RUclips videos? I’m just amazed whenever I see quality like yours.
bought my GoPro 8 on April 23, 2022 @ JB Hifi and now is AprilI 24, 2022 and tried your procedure but no luck is totally dead. I’m just using the standard video format while video it but it freezing and starting to come up format SD card.. I format my SD card but still no power.. GoPro is waste of money..
What a good review, to be honest it could well be the best review on the DJI Osmo Action I have ever watched. And you mentioned things other reviewers don't talk about.
I just got one too. After owning 4 gopros I couldn't bring myself to buy another one without seeing how this one works. So far it's been worth every penny and then some.
@@WishCasting indeed. Will look forward to more content on gear from your channel. Is there a difference when recording HD and 4k in terms of field of view ?
Thanks a lot for supporting us Neoray. No change in terms of field of view. The only time it does change is when you enable/disable the dewarp feature or stabilization. Unlike GoPro, there is no superview type of recording. But that's just better for us videographers out there (higher resolution, better-looking videos overall straight out of the camera, see why below). IMPORTANT NOTE: Natively GoPro has an installed fisheye lens. Every time you configure the GoPro to record in Linear/wide mode (what DJI Osmo Action has natively), you're actually cropping in significantly a lot, reducing the real 4K resolution to something much lower. For a GoPro to reach the same FOV of a DJI Osmo Action, it needs to lose video real estate, resulting in a much lower resolution and detail. Hope it makes some sense. If you're looking for a DSLR substitute, with a good degree of performance for action videos too, the DJI Osmo Action is just unbeatable. If instead, you're looking for extreme sport FOV cameras, GoPro is the best choice there. I'm not using my GoPros anymore now, and it's rare for me to use my GH5, unless I need b-roll with a different focal aperture/length
@@WishCasting oh I didn't know GoPro crops and reduces the footage quality for other viewing modes. I am convinced to get the osmo action but somewhere I am like what of dji releases another version of it soon :p basically have FOMO (fear of missing out on the best ) thank you so much for what the osmo is for price it is indeed unbeatable
I’ve had both and they both have their selling points. However the Osmo Action interface is just amazing. I’ve been using mine for travel vids and it smokes the Gopro for usability and reliability. The Quick switch and sleep mode are game changers when using it a lot. In fact I don’t even bring my Fuji xt4 on most trips. This is my favorite camera.
First and foremost! What an honor. Secondly I apologize. Credits were given to you in our Prague video, which was used in this video as a sample of how the camera performed. We forgot to add you here too, but we didn't do it intentionally. Thanks for dropping by and for your excellent music. If you want to collaborate I'm super open for it. On any level :) Orlando @wishcasting
About thirty percent of my channel is filmed on an Osmo Action I picked up while living in India and I absolutely love it. It still gets used whenever I can’t bring along my big camera or need a good b-cam. 👍👍👍
@@WishCasting Thats great!!! But Then have to admit that Im a little confused here between the Go Pro and this because of the Super View feature on the Go Pro because I love doing POV videos while driving. And the Osmo lacks that so I don't really know what to pick. Im totally convinced on getting the Osmo just this feature is holding me back. Could you kindly suggest what do I go in for!!!
Just disable the dewarp feature and it'll have much more in the picture, similar like a gopro. It's quite wide! Not as much but very close! When you do sports then disable it. When shooting other things re-enable it. It's so worth it! I hate to correct barrel distortion in post. To see how wide it is, check my last video where I test the HDR feature. That video is all with a fisheye gopro stile footage.
Best camera ever, despite being a 2019 model. I dropped my 1st osmo action several floors on my adventures, totally broke the lens cap and scratched the lens. I immediately bought a new osmo action... Or, not just one, I bought two! That's how much I love this camera
Dji osmo action 1 is the best action camera on the market yet. Nothing beats it. Won't get the 2. Not impressive enough, not even an SD card. Don't like it
You're right. Yours is one of the view reviews with a fair amount of samples. And what samples they are! Prague is still on my bucket list of places to visit. Ahoi from Germany
@@WishCasting I'm right in the middle. But I was born and raised in Bavaria. My generation was the first that could pass the borders after the iron curtain fell. Been to Plzen in my youth many times.
I was thinking of buying the hero 7! But this deal blew my mind away. Was same price or less with so many more things included! Happy to have you Louis! Canada! The country of McKinnon! Wohooo!
Purchased in August 2020 as my first action cam and 100% satisfied with osmo action ,, I don’t care about fov as compared to GoPro .. osmo is rock solid .. no heating or lagging issues like GoPro ..
Fantastic review and possibly the best travel video ever! I lug around Sony a7III/a7rIII on a gimbal for real estate, but just got Osmo Action for fun. I had no idea the video quality was so impressive til I watched this video. Thanks and I subbed!
You're way too kind! And I really appreciate it!! ❤️ Your setup is for pro shoots, but if you want to go light, this is a fantastic config. I use a gh5 with heavy lens and a heavy Gimbal, the outcome is super good but... It's so heavy! I am now verging more towards practicality, and enjoying the creativity, rather than just making video look good. Where are you from? Where can I see your work? Pleasure to make your acquaintance!
You just STOPPED me from buying a Hero 9! My gosh! This was so informative. Can you please show me the link for the mic set up u r using fir THIS review? Thank you so much. Tim, Chicago.
Hi Tim! Have a look at the kit I have in the description! Those are the accessories I use on all my shoots! I'm preparing a video on the microphone. Stay tuned! It's a fantastic microphone that now costs little too cause a 2nd iteration came out, making this one much cheaper!
Great video, do you have any insights for when the new model is being released. Also in your view would this work well for filming inside a car, for short sequences?
bought my GoPro 8 on April 23, 2022 @ JB Hifi and now is AprilI 24, 2022 and tried your procedure but no luck is totally dead. I’m just using the standard video format while video it but it freezing and starting to come up format SD card.. I format my SD card but still no power.. GoPro is waste of money.. Is DJI shooting to 4K 6Fps not too hot not like GoPro 8 turn too hot…
My pleasure!! You're going to love it! I'm publishing a new video today, it's a hack to get the most out of your dji without having to edit and color grade. Let me know once you buy it how much you like it! Or hate it (hope not)! ☺️
I did not like his style.... the audio starting a few seconds before each clip.. was grating in a way.. .hard to describe... I am more technologically advanced than others my age... the MTV generation has been.. weaned on... fast clip videos with new images every second, and fast paced video edits... so what is perceived by those younger than I may be very different... it you watch any video prior to say 1970.. images came slower and were perhaps more though out... so styles do change... ( none of this is meant to be a critique.. just a reflections)
I went with my Osmo Action over the Hero 7/8 Black when I was deciding back then, and I couldn't be happier. It hasn't ever let me down, and shoots great footage. The fact that the Hero 9 is taking options from the Osmo Action should tell people all they need to know...
Hi Tamer. Yes this is my final setup. I'm now in Greece and I haven't taken anything else other than this Gimbal, dji osmo action, 4 cpl filters, 3 batteries and a wireless microfone. It all fits in a small pouch. Soooo convenient!
Hi! For the shots in slow motion, do you record directly with the Osmo and in post-production you slow more the shot? Or just in the Osmo and nothing in post-production? Or not in the Osmo and added the effect in post-production? Thanks a lot! New sub
I always shoot in high fps and slow down in post. It's the only option. To shoot directly in slow motion you need to buy a different system (dslr or m43 system). But I prefer this way, it's easy to do speed ramps by interpreting the footage.
Yes! Absolutely! I'm in the process of creating a video about it. I'll recommend one there. A Gimbal is essential for pro video. Without it you'll always look amateurish, even if you have really stable hands. Check my cinematic hand held video to understand how it comes out without Gimbal (it's good, but not perfect without a Gimbal)
Totally agree. BUT you forgot the most important feature of the DJI Osmo Action ...IT WORKS. It turns on and gets ready to shoot when you need to, it does not freeze, it will not corrupt or loose your files and it does not use that brick audio adapter. I just got tired of issues with my Gopros 6 and 7 so I got rid of all that crap. I dont miss them and would not buy a Gopro again. Greetings from Paraguay in So.Am.
Awesome video, WishCasting. Subscribed!! Love your lower thirds you used for your intro. Can I ask where you purchased it from? Or did you create it yourself? I’d love to use something similar on my next project (I am on Premiere Pro).
Superb footage and great job in post.. I just bought the DJI OSMO Action camera for my RC boats and my RC cars they i RECORD instead of going with the GOPro... I will be mainly using the head strap but I wanted something under the 300.00 range for a killer quality action camera that i CAN SHot in 4k.. I have owned a lot of DJI products and I have never had any issues what so ever with there quality or there customer service.
LOVE your videos! Great stuff! On the GoPro you cannot monitor the camera from the mobile application in any setting where the framerate exceeds 60FPS. Is that also true with the Mimo app?
There has been many complains on Osmo on the issue of overheating. Similar complains of GP on heating & freezing issue as well. So which is a better buy for product confidence ?
Thanks for the review. I am back in the market since my GP 7 malfunctioned and the touchscreen went permanently black. Fortunately I had 3 year coverage on it and got my money back. I was really disappointed in the GP customer service trying to resolve the issue. My question though is there's lots of talk about DJI coming out with the next version of the action soon. Would you recommend holding off until that's released? I am in no rush at the moment. Thanks again.
I'd recommend grabbing one already. Many have been speculating for years about the action. None of it has been true. Waiting will keep you doing bad videos with your gp7. The dji osmo action is truly incredible.
I thought about it straight after I replied to your comment. I must've been tired not to realize! Thank you for the amazing souvenir! Landed safe and sound, soon to be in our living room! ☺️ Wonderful meeting you Lena! ☺️
I walked in to Walmart here in the US and saw it behind a counter. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw a clearance sticker on it for the price of $50. I already have a GoPro but It always haunted me whether I made the right choice of choosing it over the DJI. Now I got both lol
I liked the DJI Action from the first time I saw it and played with one in the store. They haven't dropped in price and are quite reasonable from some of the online stores.
Wowww i was looking to buy the gopro hero 9 but the price is bit higher and i see that the osmo action is bit cheaper but the quality stands out.just one question,did you test any ND filters on it and are there ND filters available for yhe osmo action if you know?
Gopro 9 costa double! You can pick this camera up on Amazon for 200 usd? Hero 9 is 450 i think. I mentioned and tested nd filters (8,16,32,64,1000) on this video, we even have a dedicated video to it. The part of nd filters is toward the end. Links are also in the description to all dji osmo action accessories.
A few questions: you mentioned that you can charge the camera with USB, can you also run the camera with USB? Does the camera have a recording limit? Does it overheat with continuous use? How easy is it to match to your GH5?
You can run the camera without a battery in it, just straight from any battery or power outlet through the USB port. The camera has no recording limit that I know of. It should record uninterruptedly until memory is full or battery is depleted. The camera doesn't overheat, I used 3 batteries nonstop a few days ago and ambient temperature was of 26 degrees celsius, sunny. No problems shooting for extended periods of time. The DJI osmo action cannot compare to the GH5 in terms of quality. It's super good, but not as rich as a GH5. The bitrate of the GH5 is simply above average and will offer a crisper, better detailed picture overall. But the DJI Osmo Action is superior than many competitors and can easily substitute the GH5 in most shots. It's so easy to use and the files are smaller, meaning it's much easier to edit without hiccups in Premiere Pro. You get to edit with full preview mode, without sacrificing any quality. The GH5 is another concept, it cannot relate to an action cam. But vlogging with a GH5 isn't an easy thing, that's when the DJI osmo naction comes into play succesfully. It makes it so easy to do anything, yet looking professional with an above average quality and color reproduction (not to mention the list of useful features it has).
@@WishCasting Thanks for your speedy response. I have two GH5’s and a Panasonic PX270 (ENG cam) and I shoot multicam live theatre, concerts and dance shows. I was thinking about adding one or more cameras on stage, unobtrusively, to shoot things like drummers, keyboards, even conductors.
Absolutely! But don't forget that action cams indoors perform poorly (DJI performs well, but you'll still have to sacrifice on ISO step increases). You could lower the shutter speed to the same value your framerate is set at. If you're doing static shots, the blurred movements will make it an interesting look (great for music videos), this will give you extra steps of light coming in the sensor without compromising image quality with ISO increase. Additionally you could setup better lighting, but that's luxury you may not have. I'd recommend a gh5 with an F1.8 8mm lens, but that's an expensive solution (worthwile though in your case). DJI Osmo Action will anyhow simplify your life so much, you might stop using your GH5s all along :D (ok that's simply not true I know). I'd definitely invest in it if you're looking for a great camera for a low price right now.
@@WishCasting Thanks for all your insights. In most theatric/ concert settings there is a lot of darkness but there are some pretty strong lights. Typically I shoot at f2.8 at ISO 800. I have some brighter primes that I have used on interview but for concerts the f2.8’s have been fine. On rare occasions I have I have boosted the ISO to 1200.
I almost never go that high or I start losing sharpness (noise reduction in post) and I don't like that. If the action cam is close to the subject and there is enough light shining on him, you'll be totally fine. I love ISO100, but I'm very spoiled in these terms. Nice chatting with you Gerald!
Thanks Roger! All is well! So you have this camera?! I think it's one of the best I've ever come across so far. I simply enjoy doing videos now so much more. So easy! So straightforward!
Hey! amazing video. Amazing camera indeed but I wish it had GPS so that i can use features like adding speedometer etc to the action footage. Overall the price and the footage definetely makes this better than Go Pro. Hope DJI will add GPS in Action 2, D-Cine pro file with rock steady on and keep the cost the same.
The price is dirt cheap. It’s better in every way for a straight up action camera short of a few features like better stabilization on the Insta. But basically, unless you need a 360 camera, this is the way to go. I’m a huge fan of insta360, and use the osmo+ a one x2. But unless I need 360 I grab this. And I sold my One R with the 1” sensor
Hi I'm thinking of getting this camera, would you recommend for videoing underwater, going to the Maldives 🤞 and want a reliable camera which will capture well underwater. Also what extras would you recommend me getting for shooting underwater and what settings would be best. Thanks in advance
If you're going to the Maldives you'll probably be skuba diving. I'd recommend going in the description of this video and have a look at our dji osmo action kit. From that kit I of course recommend everything, but for underwater I recommend the underwater case for deep excursions, the tightening nd filter set for cinematic shots, perhaps the red filters for best results too. Settings it depends. Do you color correct and color grade? If you do, choose D-cinelike. If not go regular video mode. In any case, I'd always go for 4k 60fps 1/120th shutter speed, ISO 100, rocksteady on, dewarp on. Then in post I would slow the footage down to 30 fps for 50% slow motion.
What an awesome, informative video. 👍 I'm currently shooting with a Google Pixle 3 and occasionally with an aging GoPro Hero 3 black. Audio is being captured with a Lavaliere connected to a Sony digital dictaphone and the synced in editing due to the issues with the Pixle phones not working as they should with external microphones. I was contemplating using a DSLR as an upgrade with a Rode Wireless Go 2 but I'm seriously considering the prospect of using a DJI Osmo action for my car review, roadtrip, event vlog type videos. I need something versatile, easy to use and above all reliable. Think I'd need plenty of batteries but so far this camera looks like a viable option.
Hi. What would you say the better settings would be for underwater video ? I’m pretty sure I’d need a red filter for ocean diving. Anything I should switch the settings to inside the camera ?
In the camera I would adjust the iso range from 100 to 800 max. Shutter speed at 1/50th. Color flat. Dewarp on. Rocksteady on. This should work well. Red filter is ideal. But I got away without it in the Maldives.
Great video and review. I love Prague, I was there a couple of winters ago. How good is the stabilisation under heavy jerky conditions. I ride a mountain bike over some fairly harsh and bumpy terrain - jumps, rocks, tree roots etc..
It's one of the best cameras in terms of stabilization on the market. It's insane really. I'll do a video with my bike soon, just to show you how well it performs. That's the best way for you to make the right choice
What you see is straight out of the camera, no editing. I tried the hyperlapse feature again and, with more light you get better picture quality. So maybe it's not that bad after all. I'll try it again and post some videos for you guys
Hello, great content. New subscriber here. I have a question, I have a very old Go Pro and the problem with it is that I cannot turn of the ultrawide videos. Now, I am planning to buy the Osmo Action. Does it have an option to turn off or turn on the ultrawide? Thank you for your reply!
Powerbank is heavy, inconvenient. I'd say buy 3 batteries! That's a must! And buy a triple charger to put in your backpack to charge with your power bank. I love it! I shoot so much like this! Love it!
▪ The only thing that worries me about the osmo action is the lack of a stereo external microphone option .. I'm about to say screw it and get one anyways though. Idk... 🟥
My settings are a bit complicated, but they'll give you best results: - always use a cpl filter (great colors, reduce reflections, get the right cinematic look by doubling the frame rate with shutter speed) - always set ISO to 100 - always choose correct cpl filter to have correct exposure - always have your shutter speed double the frame rate (accordingly change cpl if it's too bright or too dark) - D-cinelike - 25/30fps if you have low light situation - 60 fps if you're going to do slow motion in post - Dewarp on - Rocksteady on If something is unclear, watch my other videos or check the video description of the videos. Settings are there. Try HDR with a Gimbal. It saves you time and you dont have to color correct/grade.
Only osne drawback. No GPS and it is an action camera. So no speedometer in post. Also Rocksteady in cine profile is not available. Hope these will be added in future.
Excellent video and great review! Thank you for not only explaining this in a simple and straightforward way ( for all the tech illiterates like me)and for using actual footage examples. I have never owned a blogging camera and I am thinking about purchasing this for my upcoming travels. My only concern is that I need to vlog indoor and I read that this does not work indoors. I understand that it's an action camera meant to be for outdoors but I want to avoid having to buy and carry several cameras . How was filming indoor and in low light conditions? The other problem that I read in some Amazon reviews is that it heats up very quickly when filming in 4K to the point of not being able to handle the camera. Did you experience this issue? Thank again!
If you want to film indoors, any action camera will give you problems. You can film indoors definitely, but you'll have to leave all options in auto mode, so that the camera can lower the shutter speed and raise the ISO for anything to be visible. That results in noise introduction, stabilization drop in performance and more motion blur. To shoot indoors without any loss of quality, you'll need a bigger sensor, probably a dslr will do best, although you'll need lens that have a very wide aperture. The best trick is good lighting but that's a luxury we don't always have. The camera overheats if you're shooting nonstop for quite a long time. It happened to me after shooting 4k 60 fps with rocksteady and dewarp on for over 30 minutes in the sun. But any camera will heat up in those conditions. I still find this camera better than gopros in these terms. My gopros don't switch on anymore and I've used them very little. It's like if they had an expiration date on them
I'm probably too late, but for shooting indoors.....gey a pgytech case (that has 2 hot shoe mounts) so you can mount both a microphone and a small Led light. Problem solved. 👍🏻😊😊
We don't really know about it. It's just speculation to be honest. I wouldn't wait to be honest. You might be waiting for a very long time, you never know. Price drops from time to time, so it's a good idea buying if you need to shoot good quality footage now and don't want to wait. It can be compared to gopro 9 in my opinion, just costs half the price
Great review, most on your wish list are in the GoPro 10. Looking for the best bang for the buck and I don't replace equipment as soon as the next model comes out. I'll run the wheels off of it and put new ones on. Makes me lean towards the GP10 for this reason. With the GP10 I'd be set for years maybe. Again great review and footage, Thanks,,,,
Hi! I love watching your videos. I just bought mu osmo action and I was surprise I can’t use 4K 60fps with my iPad 11 and iPhone 11. Do you know how I can import 4K videos? Thanks a lot.
I think you won't be able to handle 4k video editing on your iPad. To view 4k files shouldn't be a problem though. Let me know what are your intentions so I better understand how to help you
I'd like your opinion. My needs will be simple and don't need the best of the best. For my Vespa I want to film and record my voice, and hiking. The DJI Osmo Action js available for $310.🇨🇦 (About $245 🇺🇲) Or GoPro 9 BUNDLE for $430 🇨🇦 (about $340 🇺🇲). $120 cheaper so I'm thinking of the Osmo? Whatya think?
I think you've convinced me on this one. I have a trip coming up and I have been debating hard on the gopro 7, 8 or 9. The 7 is a good deal on sale right now but has god-awful audio amd requires another 100+ dollars to be spent on an external mic. The gopro 8 has an improved mic but no removable replaceable lens which is a dealbreaker. The gopro 9 has an extremely buggy ui and is 400 dollars with the risk of losing my videos. I got tired of trying to settle with one of those cameras so getting this for roughly 200 seems like a great alternative. Up yours, gopro!
Gopro needs to up their game and fix the issues all their cameras have. I'd get dji again and again over gopro. Just such a great deal and such a performant camera! Gopro is a ripoff at the moment. And not reliable at all. Corrupt files and popping audio what joke
Check the price comparison here:
- GoPro9 amzn.to/3je7HD0
- DJI Osmo Action amzn.to/3zWEO4d
My verdict on why DJI Osmo Action beats the GoPro Hero 9:
1) GoPro 9 costs 400 USD. DJI Osmo Action costs 200 USD. That's half the price. And the DJI Osmo Action comes with a spare battery too!
2) From time to time the DJI Osmo Action gets a discount, bringing it to even less than 200
3) GoPro 9, based on the few experiences shared here within the comments, freezes quite often. I can't afford the chance of losing my footage, losing the moment, having corrupt files
The Osmo Action is around $460 in the UK.... not the $199 in the USA. Not the great deal it was a few weeks ago.
It’s $199 at best buy
You’re amazing at filming.
Any tips how a beginner like me could begin to learn?
Did you take college courses to learn, watch many RUclips videos?
I’m just amazed whenever I see quality like yours.
this is what is maddening. Hundreds of people complaining about the problems with it and let's roll out a new one.
bought my GoPro 8 on April 23, 2022 @ JB Hifi and now is AprilI 24, 2022 and tried your procedure but no luck is totally dead. I’m just using the standard video format while video it but it freezing and starting to come up format SD card.. I format my SD card but still no power.. GoPro is waste of money..
What a good review, to be honest it could well be the best review on the DJI Osmo Action I have ever watched. And you mentioned things other reviewers don't talk about.
Thanks a lot Tudor! What a crazy good compliment! Largely appreciated!!
I just got one too. After owning 4 gopros I couldn't bring myself to buy another one without seeing how this one works. So far it's been worth every penny and then some.
Every single penny! So easy to use and such quality footage. I'm astonished every time I shoot a video of how unfair it is towards my gh5 😅
This one is lightyears ahead of gopro for the single fact that it's reliable and the quality seems good, Gopro release new cameras way too often.
Amazing video of Prague. Never seen it in the snow before. I definately want to go back there. You made it look even more beautiful
Never saw it without snow!? You MUST come back. You missed out on an even more magical Prague! You will love it, I'm sure of it
Such a well crafted video, kinda convinced me to to get one for myself .You edited the video so well with relevent b roll .
Thanks a lot Neoray! Very kind of you! I still can't believe how well it performs and looks compared to gopro. And it's so cheap

About thirty percent of my channel is filmed on an Osmo Action I picked up while living in India and I absolutely love it. It still gets used whenever I can’t bring along my big camera or need a good b-cam. 👍👍👍
Absolutely! This camera is gold! ☺️
Your the sole reason im getting myself this action camera!!!! Kudos to your vlog and editing!!!!✌🏼
I'm happy about it! You won't regret it! It's such an insane camera! You'll love it!
@@WishCasting Thats great!!! But Then have to admit that Im a little confused here between the Go Pro and this because of the Super View feature on the Go Pro because I love doing POV videos while driving. And the Osmo lacks that so I don't really know what to pick. Im totally convinced on getting the Osmo just this feature is holding me back. Could you kindly suggest what do I go in for!!!
Just disable the dewarp feature and it'll have much more in the picture, similar like a gopro. It's quite wide! Not as much but very close! When you do sports then disable it. When shooting other things re-enable it. It's so worth it! I hate to correct barrel distortion in post.
To see how wide it is, check my last video where I test the HDR feature. That video is all with a fisheye gopro stile footage.
@@WishCasting Thank you so very much!!!! This really helps!!! Ordering mine right away!!! Cheers
Enjoy it!! You'll love it! By the way how do you like the HDR feature? Did you see the colors? How incredible they are, so vivid and real
Thanks for this review - this video literally got me to go to my storage box and get my Osmo Action out to use it again.
Hell yeah! What a camera really!
Best camera ever, despite being a 2019 model. I dropped my 1st osmo action several floors on my adventures, totally broke the lens cap and scratched the lens.
I immediately bought a new osmo action... Or, not just one, I bought two! That's how much I love this camera
Dji osmo action 1 is the best action camera on the market yet. Nothing beats it. Won't get the 2. Not impressive enough, not even an SD card. Don't like it
Great videos!
Pictures and clips in this video are so beautiful. It makes me feel so real!
thank you! ☺️!!
You're right. Yours is one of the view reviews with a fair amount of samples. And what samples they are! Prague is still on my bucket list of places to visit. Ahoi from Germany
Ahoj!! Where exactly? We're so close! And thanks for the wonderful comment!
@@WishCasting I'm right in the middle. But I was born and raised in Bavaria. My generation was the first that could pass the borders after the iron curtain fell. Been to Plzen in my youth many times.
Just watched 6 camera reviews today, this is by far the best. Well edited.
*subbed* much love from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦 I got the hero 7 but I enjoyed this one
I was thinking of buying the hero 7! But this deal blew my mind away. Was same price or less with so many more things included! Happy to have you Louis!
Canada! The country of McKinnon! Wohooo!
Just bought one due to this video. I have 3 DJI drones and very happy with their quality and service.
Isn't dji the best?! 10 gopros out there, and none beat an old dji osmo action lol
6:02 this is my favorite. "A microphone with a dead cat"
Works really well! But it's huge and heavy as a solution! I'm 100% rode wireless go now eheh
Purchased in August 2020 as my first action cam and 100% satisfied with osmo action ,, I don’t care about fov as compared to GoPro .. osmo is rock solid .. no heating or lagging issues like GoPro ..
I absolutely agree MadNixx!
@@WishCasting now waiting for Osmo action 2
Fantastic review and possibly the best travel video ever! I lug around Sony a7III/a7rIII on a gimbal for real estate, but just got Osmo Action for fun. I had no idea the video quality was so impressive til I watched this video. Thanks and I subbed!
You're way too kind! And I really appreciate it!! ❤️ Your setup is for pro shoots, but if you want to go light, this is a fantastic config. I use a gh5 with heavy lens and a heavy Gimbal, the outcome is super good but... It's so heavy! I am now verging more towards practicality, and enjoying the creativity, rather than just making video look good. Where are you from? Where can I see your work? Pleasure to make your acquaintance!
You just STOPPED me from buying a Hero 9! My gosh! This was so informative. Can you please show me the link for the mic set up u r using fir THIS review? Thank you so much. Tim, Chicago.
Hi Tim! Have a look at the kit I have in the description! Those are the accessories I use on all my shoots! I'm preparing a video on the microphone. Stay tuned! It's a fantastic microphone that now costs little too cause a 2nd iteration came out, making this one much cheaper!
Ps: happy to save you some money! Why spend more for something that actually doesn't really work well and isn't worth buying.
@@WishCasting
Thank you for the fast response. Later, I will sift through your vids and the mic links. Huge help. Thank you!🛡
Great video, do you have any insights for when the new model is being released. Also in your view would this work well for filming inside a car, for short sequences?
bought my GoPro 8 on April 23, 2022 @ JB Hifi and now is AprilI 24, 2022 and tried your procedure but no luck is totally dead. I’m just using the standard video format while video it but it freezing and starting to come up format SD card.. I format my SD card but still no power.. GoPro is waste of money.. Is DJI shooting to 4K 6Fps not too hot not like GoPro 8 turn too hot…
Wow I love your editing style very cool……awesome review. I am going to ditch my very problematic gopro 9 and get one. Thanks buddy
My pleasure!! You're going to love it! I'm publishing a new video today, it's a hack to get the most out of your dji without having to edit and color grade. Let me know once you buy it how much you like it! Or hate it (hope not)! ☺️
I did not like his style.... the audio starting a few seconds before each clip.. was grating in a way.. .hard to describe... I am more technologically advanced than others my age... the MTV generation has been.. weaned on... fast clip videos with new images every second, and fast paced video edits... so what is perceived by those younger than I may be very different... it you watch any video prior to say 1970.. images came slower and were perhaps more though out... so styles do change... ( none of this is meant to be a critique.. just a reflections)
I went with my Osmo Action over the Hero 7/8 Black when I was deciding back then, and I couldn't be happier. It hasn't ever let me down, and shoots great footage. The fact that the Hero 9 is taking options from the Osmo Action should tell people all they need to know...
Was gonna buy a hero 7 or 9 until I realized how unreliable gopros can be
Hello. I am in between this camera and go pro 8
DJi really has the ability to create products which does not get outdated.
Love my Osmo, ditched GoPro a long time ago, have both the Action and the Pocket. Lovely city and good editing…
thank you! ☺️ How's your osmo pocket? Is it better than the action?
I know this is 2 years ago, but I'm still using mine, and it's definitely a go-to camera. Versatile and dependable.
I absolutely agree, this is the camera I use the most, everywhere :) I still didn't upgrade to the osmo action 3. Very tempted to be frank
@WishCasting I thought about it but went with the DJI Pocket 2 and love that as well.
thanks... I had setled on one, but this vid helps to feel good about it.
"stable" "Stable -Ization" "Stay-bl-eye-zation"... sorry a bit OCD on that...
😁😂
can you do a review on DJI Osmo Actiion 3
Such a brilliant review Thank you for sharing
I'm hoping there will be news about a DJI action 2 this month!
Me too! I'm looking forward to a fixed horizon feature too! Missing in this iteration
Do you have any hind about or just rumours?
No, i don't think there will.
8:16 i thought you were going to jump over the railing at first LOL
I'm crazy but.. No not that much xD
excellent review thanks, did you have any issues activating the camera?
Love your video, I'm a beginner and just trying to find a gear that can capture video really well with budget. Thanks for this
My pleasure! You'll love this camera. I use it all the time now. It's a video factory for me now 😁
Dude that time-lapse at @12:08 looks absolutely incredible.
thank you! ☺️
Would you say: this is the ultimate video & vlog camera but still have a second cam for photography?
Great videos on the DJI btw.
Hi Tamer. Yes this is my final setup. I'm now in Greece and I haven't taken anything else other than this Gimbal, dji osmo action, 4 cpl filters, 3 batteries and a wireless microfone. It all fits in a small pouch. Soooo convenient!
Hi!
For the shots in slow motion, do you record directly with the Osmo and in post-production you slow more the shot? Or just in the Osmo and nothing in post-production? Or not in the Osmo and added the effect in post-production?
Thanks a lot! New sub
I always shoot in high fps and slow down in post. It's the only option. To shoot directly in slow motion you need to buy a different system (dslr or m43 system). But I prefer this way, it's easy to do speed ramps by interpreting the footage.
Awesome video! I like the HDR video feature, but it's missing the rock steady... do you recommend a certain gimbal for the Osmo Action?
Yes! Absolutely! I'm in the process of creating a video about it. I'll recommend one there. A Gimbal is essential for pro video. Without it you'll always look amateurish, even if you have really stable hands. Check my cinematic hand held video to understand how it comes out without Gimbal (it's good, but not perfect without a Gimbal)
Thanks for the review, bro. Excellent! I will definitely be buying this soon.
Totally agree. BUT you forgot the most important feature of the DJI Osmo Action ...IT WORKS. It turns on and gets ready to shoot when you need to, it does not freeze, it will not corrupt or loose your files and it does not use that brick audio adapter. I just got tired of issues with my Gopros 6 and 7 so I got rid of all that crap. I dont miss them and would not buy a Gopro again. Greetings from Paraguay in So.Am.
Best Oslo action review period Thank you.
Super kind! ☺️
I've been looking at this camera for quite some time. Already have the dji osmo mobile 3. Great review.
Thanks a lot! Gimbal + HDR is such an incredible deal. No editing necessary. That's what us video makers need. Less editing more filming
@@WishCasting I couldn't say it better myself. I'm Definitely going to purchase one of these
awesome review👌 i might need this and mount it on my windshield sometimes, for travel vlogs😁
Will be amazing for that! Have a look at the suction cup by delkin for it if you need a reliable suction cup. It's in the description
@@WishCasting thanks👌
Prague is a beautiful country, thanks for video
Prague is city!!!
Ok, ditching my GPH 5 Black for this cam soon. Loved the scenery and review. What color grade LUT is that or is that the camera?
Awesome video, WishCasting. Subscribed!! Love your lower thirds you used for your intro. Can I ask where you purchased it from? Or did you create it yourself? I’d love to use something similar on my next project (I am on Premiere Pro).
Superb and Perfect Review Test 👌 📸🙏
Thanks for sharing, I will go now to buy
Hope you enjoy it! :)))
Awesome videos I love the way you explain ☺️. Your channel new subscriber from India. And by the way the cinematic video or sample videos are amazing.
thank you! ☺️ I appreciate your comment a whole lot! Happy to have you onboard! ☺️
Mannnn. I love mines so much I got 5 of them.. I record all my videos with them
5!? Wow! Ahah that's insane! ☺️
Superb footage and great job in post.. I just bought the DJI OSMO Action camera for my RC boats and my RC cars they i RECORD instead of going with the GOPro... I will be mainly using the head strap but I wanted something under the 300.00 range for a killer quality action camera that i CAN SHot in 4k.. I have owned a lot of DJI products and I have never had any issues what so ever with there quality or there customer service.
I loved video quality. Did you attach any filters like polarized or ND filters?
Friend, are you also interested in sports cameras? I'm a deep travel enthusiast, and I'd like to discuss with you the secrets of motion cameras
Great review and superb editing...
thank you! ☺️ So kind!
I only use this camera and I'm super happy! 😍 The only things I really would like it to have are horizon leveling and zoom..
I absolutely feel the same! Dji osmo action 2 will probably soon come out. And it'll surely feature this!
Great vid and fantastic footage , in the early stages , trying to guess what country you are in ,,, ? You didn’t say ,, cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧
Hi Shane! I'm Italian American! Thanks for the comment Shane!
That was Czech Republic.
LOVE your videos! Great stuff! On the GoPro you cannot monitor the camera from the mobile application in any setting where the framerate exceeds 60FPS. Is that also true with the Mimo app?
Apologies but I don't have an answer to this question. Anyone else can reply?
@@WishCasting I picked up this camera. You can monitor any resolution or framerate from Mimo :)
There has been many complains on Osmo on the issue of overheating. Similar complains of GP on heating & freezing issue as well. So which is a better buy for product confidence ?
Thanks for the review. I am back in the market since my GP 7 malfunctioned and the touchscreen went permanently black. Fortunately I had 3 year coverage on it and got my money back. I was really disappointed in the GP customer service trying to resolve the issue. My question though is there's lots of talk about DJI coming out with the next version of the action soon. Would you recommend holding off until that's released? I am in no rush at the moment. Thanks again.
I'd recommend grabbing one already. Many have been speculating for years about the action. None of it has been true. Waiting will keep you doing bad videos with your gp7. The dji osmo action is truly incredible.
Buy a used one then.
Hello from Rhodes. Great videos !
No way!!! I was just there for a full week! Just landed now!!! Where do you live in Rhodes?? I loved it!! ❤️
@@WishCasting Sidoroff Atelier! Old town, we just met few hours ago.
I thought about it straight after I replied to your comment. I must've been tired not to realize! Thank you for the amazing souvenir! Landed safe and sound, soon to be in our living room! ☺️ Wonderful meeting you Lena! ☺️
Great video, what is there a easy way to fast edit your short video to post it right a way to social media?
I have decided to buy this one instead of a Gopro or anything cheaper to film for my travel channel. :) This video helped me make this decision.
So happy to have helped you! Also to save you some money! ☺️
I walked in to Walmart here in the US and saw it behind a counter. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw a clearance sticker on it for the price of $50. I already have a GoPro but It always haunted me whether I made the right choice of choosing it over the DJI. Now I got both lol
Wait what?! You paid 50 for the dji osmo action?!
$50!!! What??
Clearance Sale 50$? 😍😍😍
What?!? That is insane!
I liked the DJI Action from the first time I saw it and played with one in the store. They haven't dropped in price and are quite reasonable from some of the online stores.
They drop the price significantly on some occasions on Amazon. I got it for a super crazy price but, you need to be patient :)
Wow..now u become tech review👍👍👍
Wowww i was looking to buy the gopro hero 9 but the price is bit higher and i see that the osmo action is bit cheaper but the quality stands out.just one question,did you test any ND filters on it and are there ND filters available for yhe osmo action if you know?
Gopro 9 costa double! You can pick this camera up on Amazon for 200 usd? Hero 9 is 450 i think.
I mentioned and tested nd filters (8,16,32,64,1000) on this video, we even have a dedicated video to it. The part of nd filters is toward the end. Links are also in the description to all dji osmo action accessories.
Ps: I'm using nd filters every time I shoot. I always set the camera on manual (shutterspeed and ISO). That's how I retain top quality footage :)
Very Nice Video. I have purchased same recently. Do you face camera getting hot during recording ?
It does get warm but not really hot. At least I didn't realize if it did!
Thanks by the way for the comment
A few questions: you mentioned that you can charge the camera with USB, can you also run the camera with USB? Does the camera have a recording limit? Does it overheat with continuous use? How easy is it to match to your GH5?
You can run the camera without a battery in it, just straight from any battery or power outlet through the USB port. The camera has no recording limit that I know of. It should record uninterruptedly until memory is full or battery is depleted. The camera doesn't overheat, I used 3 batteries nonstop a few days ago and ambient temperature was of 26 degrees celsius, sunny. No problems shooting for extended periods of time. The DJI osmo action cannot compare to the GH5 in terms of quality. It's super good, but not as rich as a GH5. The bitrate of the GH5 is simply above average and will offer a crisper, better detailed picture overall. But the DJI Osmo Action is superior than many competitors and can easily substitute the GH5 in most shots. It's so easy to use and the files are smaller, meaning it's much easier to edit without hiccups in Premiere Pro. You get to edit with full preview mode, without sacrificing any quality.
The GH5 is another concept, it cannot relate to an action cam. But vlogging with a GH5 isn't an easy thing, that's when the DJI osmo naction comes into play succesfully. It makes it so easy to do anything, yet looking professional with an above average quality and color reproduction (not to mention the list of useful features it has).
@@WishCasting Thanks for your speedy response. I have two GH5’s and a Panasonic PX270 (ENG cam) and I shoot multicam live theatre, concerts and dance shows. I was thinking about adding one or more cameras on stage, unobtrusively, to shoot things like drummers, keyboards, even conductors.
Absolutely! But don't forget that action cams indoors perform poorly (DJI performs well, but you'll still have to sacrifice on ISO step increases). You could lower the shutter speed to the same value your framerate is set at. If you're doing static shots, the blurred movements will make it an interesting look (great for music videos), this will give you extra steps of light coming in the sensor without compromising image quality with ISO increase. Additionally you could setup better lighting, but that's luxury you may not have.
I'd recommend a gh5 with an F1.8 8mm lens, but that's an expensive solution (worthwile though in your case).
DJI Osmo Action will anyhow simplify your life so much, you might stop using your GH5s all along :D (ok that's simply not true I know). I'd definitely invest in it if you're looking for a great camera for a low price right now.
@@WishCasting Thanks for all your insights. In most theatric/ concert settings there is a lot of darkness but there are some pretty strong lights. Typically I shoot at f2.8 at ISO 800. I have some brighter primes that I have used on interview but for concerts the f2.8’s have been fine. On rare occasions I have I have boosted the ISO to 1200.
I almost never go that high or I start losing sharpness (noise reduction in post) and I don't like that. If the action cam is close to the subject and there is enough light shining on him, you'll be totally fine. I love ISO100, but I'm very spoiled in these terms. Nice chatting with you Gerald!
Agreed. Have it and love it. Keep’em comming! Hope you are doing well!
Thanks Roger! All is well! So you have this camera?! I think it's one of the best I've ever come across so far. I simply enjoy doing videos now so much more. So easy! So straightforward!
Hey! amazing video. Amazing camera indeed but I wish it had GPS so that i can use features like adding speedometer etc to the action footage.
Overall the price and the footage definetely makes this better than Go Pro. Hope DJI will add GPS in Action 2, D-Cine pro file with rock steady on and keep the cost the same.
The 2nd iteration will be sensational I'm sure. DJI is doing such a good job with technology lately. Super pumped!
@@WishCasting ...aaaand they blew it. Sadly.
So I'm confused, what makes this better than the Insta360 One R? Seems like a much more versatile camera option
The price is dirt cheap. It’s better in every way for a straight up action camera short of a few features like better stabilization on the Insta. But basically, unless you need a 360 camera, this is the way to go. I’m a huge fan of insta360, and use the osmo+ a one x2. But unless I need 360 I grab this. And I sold my One R with the 1” sensor
i like your color grading... where can i download preset like that.. for lightroom or premiere
Hi I'm thinking of getting this camera, would you recommend for videoing underwater, going to the Maldives 🤞 and want a reliable camera which will capture well underwater. Also what extras would you recommend me getting for shooting underwater and what settings would be best. Thanks in advance
If you're going to the Maldives you'll probably be skuba diving. I'd recommend going in the description of this video and have a look at our dji osmo action kit. From that kit I of course recommend everything, but for underwater I recommend the underwater case for deep excursions, the tightening nd filter set for cinematic shots, perhaps the red filters for best results too.
Settings it depends. Do you color correct and color grade?
If you do, choose D-cinelike.
If not go regular video mode.
In any case, I'd always go for 4k 60fps 1/120th shutter speed, ISO 100, rocksteady on, dewarp on.
Then in post I would slow the footage down to 30 fps for 50% slow motion.
What an awesome, informative video. 👍
I'm currently shooting with a Google Pixle 3 and occasionally with an aging GoPro Hero 3 black.
Audio is being captured with a Lavaliere connected to a Sony digital dictaphone and the synced in editing due to the issues with the Pixle phones not working as they should with external microphones.
I was contemplating using a DSLR as an upgrade with a Rode Wireless Go 2 but I'm seriously considering the prospect of using a DJI Osmo action for my car review, roadtrip, event vlog type videos. I need something versatile, easy to use and above all reliable. Think I'd need plenty of batteries but so far this camera looks like a viable option.
This was a great video and really helped me with thinking about getting this.
Glad I could do that! :)
Same 😊 I was planning to get the Hero 9. You changed my mind 😂 I'll buy this now! Thanks!
Hi. What would you say the better settings would be for underwater video ? I’m pretty sure I’d need a red filter for ocean diving. Anything I should switch the settings to inside the camera ?
In the camera I would adjust the iso range from 100 to 800 max. Shutter speed at 1/50th. Color flat. Dewarp on. Rocksteady on. This should work well. Red filter is ideal. But I got away without it in the Maldives.
Great video and review. I love Prague, I was there a couple of winters ago. How good is the stabilisation under heavy jerky conditions. I ride a mountain bike over some fairly harsh and bumpy terrain - jumps, rocks, tree roots etc..
It's one of the best cameras in terms of stabilization on the market. It's insane really. I'll do a video with my bike soon, just to show you how well it performs. That's the best way for you to make the right choice
@@WishCasting Thanks. I'll definitely consider getting one. I'll look forward to seeing your bike video.
If I get some good weather, I'll do it this week and post it.
@@WishCasting 👍
@@WishCasting Did you ever do that ride? I'd be interested to see your results.
Good day, did you edit the hyperlapse videos? Or is it built in? Thanks.
What you see is straight out of the camera, no editing. I tried the hyperlapse feature again and, with more light you get better picture quality. So maybe it's not that bad after all. I'll try it again and post some videos for you guys
I heard a rumour the audio is in a separate file to the video, is this true? I hope not 😕
Hello, great content. New subscriber here. I have a question, I have a very old Go Pro and the problem with it is that I cannot turn of the ultrawide videos. Now, I am planning to buy the Osmo Action. Does it have an option to turn off or turn on the ultrawide? Thank you for your reply!
You can enable/disable the wide angle on the dji osmo action! Super easy to do! Intuitive settings :)
thank you! ☺️ For the comment also!
Thank you!
Sure!
Hi sir nice to see your video sir i have a question i want to buy action camera wich is good for vloging and moto vloging sir please reply
This one! It's the best. It's insane for everyone and shotting everything
@@WishCasting thank you so much for your guidance sir
whats your recommendation, buy a more battery or use powerbank?
Powerbank is heavy, inconvenient. I'd say buy 3 batteries! That's a must! And buy a triple charger to put in your backpack to charge with your power bank. I love it! I shoot so much like this! Love it!
my gosh!!! DJI Osmo should've paid you for this video. I own 5 Gopros and you just sold me! I wished I had your bundle tho
I wonder how much money dji made out of this video. True! Eheh :)
▪
The only thing that worries me about the osmo action is the lack of a stereo external microphone option ..
I'm about to say screw it and get one anyways though.
Idk...
🟥
Awesome video bro. I just bought this last month. But I m struggling to shoot in best settings. Can you please share ur settings and tips.
My settings are a bit complicated, but they'll give you best results:
- always use a cpl filter (great colors, reduce reflections, get the right cinematic look by doubling the frame rate with shutter speed)
- always set ISO to 100
- always choose correct cpl filter to have correct exposure
- always have your shutter speed double the frame rate (accordingly change cpl if it's too bright or too dark)
- D-cinelike
- 25/30fps if you have low light situation
- 60 fps if you're going to do slow motion in post
- Dewarp on
- Rocksteady on
If something is unclear, watch my other videos or check the video description of the videos. Settings are there. Try HDR with a Gimbal. It saves you time and you dont have to color correct/grade.
Only osne drawback. No GPS and it is an action camera. So no speedometer in post. Also Rocksteady in cine profile is not available. Hope these will be added in future.
I hope they add those features too! But rocksteady is available in d-cine profile. I use it all the time
@@WishCasting i upgraded the firmware and it works. Now just GPS. Waiting for a new launch.
Shall I wait for osmo action 2 or buy it now?
Fantastic camera, its only downside is the minimum focus distance which is about 40cm.
I totally agree! I noticed this too! Good point Phillip!
Dobre video. I've just ordered mine today
thank you! ☺️ You'll love it!
How well does it do if you are running and vlogging ? It's like to know how stable it is if I am running and talking to the camera. Thanks.
On the bike it's like flying! Running is insane too! I'll do some tests and do a comprehensive video about it as soon as I can
Very cool review. Can firm updates happen without connecting the Osmo to a pc? Thanks!
I think yes, you don't need a cable at all. It's all through the app if I remember correctly
Did you use any post sharping process in your 3 min video?
Excellent video and great review! Thank you for not only explaining this in a simple and straightforward way ( for all the tech illiterates like me)and for using actual footage examples. I have never owned a blogging camera and I am thinking about purchasing this for my upcoming travels. My only concern is that I need to vlog indoor and I read that this does not work indoors. I understand that it's an action camera meant to be for outdoors but I want to avoid having to buy and carry several cameras . How was filming indoor and in low light conditions? The other problem that I read in some Amazon reviews is that it heats up very quickly when filming in 4K to the point of not being able to handle the camera. Did you experience this issue? Thank again!
If you want to film indoors, any action camera will give you problems. You can film indoors definitely, but you'll have to leave all options in auto mode, so that the camera can lower the shutter speed and raise the ISO for anything to be visible. That results in noise introduction, stabilization drop in performance and more motion blur.
To shoot indoors without any loss of quality, you'll need a bigger sensor, probably a dslr will do best, although you'll need lens that have a very wide aperture.
The best trick is good lighting but that's a luxury we don't always have.
The camera overheats if you're shooting nonstop for quite a long time. It happened to me after shooting 4k 60 fps with rocksteady and dewarp on for over 30 minutes in the sun. But any camera will heat up in those conditions.
I still find this camera better than gopros in these terms. My gopros don't switch on anymore and I've used them very little. It's like if they had an expiration date on them
WishCasting thank you so much for taking the time to answer in such a thorough manner. Greatly appreciated!
My pleasure! 😊
I'm probably too late, but for shooting indoors.....gey a pgytech case (that has 2 hot shoe mounts) so you can mount both a microphone and a small Led light. Problem solved. 👍🏻😊😊
I was flip flopping between tge GoPro 9 and Osmo Action .... now I'm leaning toward the Osmo again ....! But do you wait for the next gen Osmo ?
We don't really know about it. It's just speculation to be honest. I wouldn't wait to be honest. You might be waiting for a very long time, you never know. Price drops from time to time, so it's a good idea buying if you need to shoot good quality footage now and don't want to wait. It can be compared to gopro 9 in my opinion, just costs half the price
I cannot disagree... I have been looking at getting a 2nd one, but I will standby a little longer in case there's a new version on the way.
Good Idea, I'd do the same
Great review, most on your wish list are in the GoPro 10. Looking for the best bang for the buck and I don't replace equipment as soon as the next model comes out. I'll run the wheels off of it and put new ones on. Makes me lean towards the GP10 for this reason. With the GP10 I'd be set for years maybe.
Again great review and footage, Thanks,,,,
Hi! I love watching your videos. I just bought mu osmo action and I was surprise I can’t use 4K 60fps with my iPad 11 and iPhone 11. Do you know how I can import 4K videos? Thanks a lot.
I think you won't be able to handle 4k video editing on your iPad. To view 4k files shouldn't be a problem though. Let me know what are your intentions so I better understand how to help you
7:45 How do you do that? I'm guessing the cover is removable? Don't really want to break this one since it's newly bought.
Hello Brother Which Software You Use For This Kind Of Editing ? Please Reply ❤️Lots Of Love & Best Wishes From India 🇮🇳
I'd like your opinion. My needs will be simple and don't need the best of the best. For my Vespa I want to film and record my voice, and hiking.
The DJI Osmo Action js available for $310.🇨🇦 (About $245 🇺🇲)
Or GoPro 9 BUNDLE for $430 🇨🇦 (about $340 🇺🇲).
$120 cheaper so I'm thinking of the Osmo? Whatya think?
I think you've convinced me on this one. I have a trip coming up and I have been debating hard on the gopro 7, 8 or 9. The 7 is a good deal on sale right now but has god-awful audio amd requires another 100+ dollars to be spent on an external mic. The gopro 8 has an improved mic but no removable replaceable lens which is a dealbreaker. The gopro 9 has an extremely buggy ui and is 400 dollars with the risk of losing my videos. I got tired of trying to settle with one of those cameras so getting this for roughly 200 seems like a great alternative. Up yours, gopro!
Gopro needs to up their game and fix the issues all their cameras have. I'd get dji again and again over gopro. Just such a great deal and such a performant camera! Gopro is a ripoff at the moment. And not reliable at all. Corrupt files and popping audio what joke
@@WishCasting Oh yeah, the popping audio issue. That's another reason to throw it in the lake.
