DJI O3 Air Unit vs. GoPro 11 Mini [4k 60fps image quality test]

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

The DJI O3 Air Unit is not as good as a GoPro.... or is it? Decide for yourself with this side-by-side footage taken simultaneously with a DJI Air Unit and a GoPro Hero 11 Mini... be sure to watch in 4k!
Now that the DJI O3 Air Unit provides a very usable image, do FPV drone pilots still have to use external actions cameras like GoPro to get the best quality image from their FPV flights?
This video is taken from a single flight with my GEPRC MK5D running DJI O3 and a GOPro Hero 11 Mini. There are no cuts or edits other than overlaying one video on top of the other or comparison.

    I would go for the O3, as the Hero 6 is pretty dated at this point and the all-in-one nature of the O3 is sooooooo much more convenient as far as checking exposure, etc...

    Well unfortunately the hero 11 mini is all I have, I dont own any o3 units, not yet, so 11 mini for the win hahah! Although I love the video coming out of those o3 air units for sure! Would be nice to run my 5 inch 6s rigs WITHOUT an action cam!

    The GOPro Mini is the best all around FPV action camera I think. I tried the Insta360 Go2 and it's a fun toy but the image quality sucks. I also run the Bones on lighter rigs where the weight of a full GoPro wouldn't work, and it does well, but the power cable is finicky and the 8:7 aspect ratio of the 11 is pure gold for vertical video or Reel Steady. Whenever you do upgrade to the O3's, it's pretty awesome to avoid the weight/hassle of running an external cam, but for the foreseeable future, the GoPro 11 definitely an edge in image quality. The difference is small in bright sunlight, much more significance in low low or shadows, where the O3 really struggles...

    Good point Richard, I did have sharpening set to 0 in the Dji and low in the GoPro, but it still comes through, doesn't it? For me it's the color science that gives it away, the dcinelike profile of DJI drones has a distinct look, more true to life but a little cooler. The gopro is more pleasing to my eye, but it's not night and day...

    La go pro mini tiene mejor rango dinámico pero no veo una diferencia importante con la O3 Air unit, menos aún si se toma en cuenta la relación costo calidad, la Air unit es una excelente opción. A parte el video maravilloso, mágico, que Laguna es?

    Gracias por el comentario amigo. Es en el cajas, la laguna es La Toreadora y el drone es el GEPRC MK5D. Tienes razón, el O3 tiene un imagen impresionante, sobre todo cuando hay un buen sol, pero sufra mucho cuando falta luz, y para mi el imagen es mejor un poco sobreexpuesto, es decir cuando normalmente utilizaría un ND16, resultaría mejor un ND8 y después agregando contraste en post. Pero tomando en cuanta el peso y costo que involucra un GoPro cuando el dron ya tiene el O3..... para mi el GP11 queda solamente para trabajos pagados y trabajos muy especiales.

    O3 has a Bigger sensor and worse performance? Doesn't make sense, getting both this weekend to test, but I think the digital sharpening out of camera is making all the o3 footage I've seen look garbage. Out of every test and comparison and just o3 footage in general that I've seen, there's this heavy digital sharpening that I believe is the entire cause of poor results. I'm pretty sure you can drop the sharpness in the menu, and that would produce more film-like results, we do that even in big expensive mirrorless cameras for video. Even adding anti-aliasing or desharpening in post might help, but I have high hopes that the o3 will come ahead if used correctly, manually, with completely dropped sharpness and saturation, d-cinelog, and graded after.

    Sharpening was at "0" (default is "2") and I used D-cinelike and applied a basic color grade in Resolve.O3 footage is unusable otherwise. You might go with -1 or -2 sharpening and you can get as creative as you like in post but a modern GoPro ABSOLUTELY outperforms the DJI O3, although in good lightening conditions, the O3 can come close.

    I understand, but sharpness is typically dropped into negatives. Like for sony alphas we drop it to -7 lol. It's digital sharpening for consumers, not for editors. Gopro realized this and created awesome color science and basic default settings that really pulll the cinematic vibe off. try it out, -2 sharpening, -2 noise reduction, same with saturation and then grade the O3 10-bit cinelike. I havent even gotten one though so I could be wrong and it's just a garbage camera. @@colibrifpv

    I could do that, but it has already been shown that the O3 looks bad in low light, and the point of this video was to show that in the right conditions, and with the right settings, the O3 CAN look just as good as a GoPro 11.
