I went with the action 3 myself. I had DJIs gimbal and the mini 2 so the action 3 was a no brainer for me especially with the 3 batteries and better cold weather performance. It is a 9/22 build but it seems to be focused to me. We will see how it holds up

Great comparison. GoPro maybe on the #1 spot but I chose the OA3 because it's cheaper compared to Hero 11 and the magnetic mount is just pure love when transferring the camera from my helmet to the selfie stick without stopping for a long time turning those locking screws.

I'm sure I will get called a DJI shill for this video but here it is: I used both the second action 3 I purchased and the one DJI sent me to make this video to make sure I didn't get a "special one". In my previous comparison I called out all the issues the action 3 had and got called a gopro shill then because I didn't go in-depth enough about the features of the action 3, so I definitely go in to more of the ways the action 3 beats out gopro in this one, If you plan to buy and action 3 look at the build date and test it. if you get one that doesn't have good focus return it and try and get one that has a recent build date (Jan 2023 or later). Whatever you think I hope this video helps you make a more informed decision about which camera might be better for you and your needs. Cheers

Hi Jake, You can’t make everyone happy. Makes me remember a decade ago, I build out a factory 20yrs out and company said “why the hell did you think so far.” After 10th year, we had huge demands and volume and the same boss and company said “why they hell didn’t you think 40yrs ahead!” Good video as always! I’m still on the GP camp not as a fan but for what you mentioned in 1st video, IQ and dynamic range. For battery life, DJI doesn’t have GPS so turning it off on GP and see if it has same run time. I prefer to use an integrated tripod + powerbank that can be used for any action cam to have continuous recording than swapping out batteries. I thought I saw some video somewhere someone mentioned that DJI will expose for the subject like vloggers but blow out the background but with GP, it will not do this as it exposes subject and background the same. If that’s true, then it depends on which use cases you need and go with what works for you. Seems like lots of people have been burned by GP on userbility, reliability, and pleasing colors to the eyes (without having to manually adjusting white balance) so DJI achieves this but overlook IQ and DR. So to each of its own. It would be good to have a buyer’s guide with criterias such as: - userbility and reliability: go with A3 - IQ and DR: go with GP11 - price: that’s a tough one as it’s not apples for apples - reusing accessories: go with GP11 since you can reuse the ones from GP9/10. With DJI A1 is completely different from A2 which is completely different from A3. No backward compatibility of accessories which is not mentioned much and adds up quickly. One of the reason why I stay away from Insta360 where I have so much accessories and when not organized, when I need them, can’t find what I need; - app: DJI allows to continue to be on while recording while GP turns it off but it has Quick app for mobile editing - fpv: GP has Reelsteady for buttery stabilization It really depends what the use cases you need and what experience you have with the brand, good or bad and if there are workarounds as it seems most are user errors that blame it on the brand. Partially true and false as some use action cams as a studio cam so all waterproof tiny form factor cameras will overheat when used indoor for long form. If that’s the case, turn off BT, GPS, wifi and shoot 4/5K 24/25/30, not 4/5K 60/120 and expect it not to overheat. And if so, use a cooling fan used on smartphones and it will not overheat even at 4k120. I tried to do it with the A2 and couldn’t get it to overheat. Keep up the good work!

Jake, great review but I feel your initial review was a bit better. Let's ask this way. I have a GoPro 10 which I am tired of its overheating and battery issue. I was thinking to get the GoPro 11 but after this, I am wondering if Action 3 is a better option. If you had to choose one of these cameras, which one would you choose? I mostly do outside, adventures, nature, discoveries. So Action stuff basically.

I suggested this over on Flytpath too but filming a how-to needing multiple takes, I used the voice command on the 11 and didn’t have to shut it off. Maybe that’s a workaround for now.

Another great review Jake; based largely on functionality I would give the edge to the Action3. Your original review (and those of most others) gave an edge to the GoPro when it came to photo and video performance (focus issue aside - and now resolved). Not that the Action3 was bad; it’s just that the GP was slightly better often. Still the case? Suspect so. I think either would be great, but love how the DJI doesn’t require so much in the way of add ons, so it may also simply be better value.

@JakeSloan

Yeah I still think GoPro has the better image quality overall partly due to the 5.3k sensor and partly due to the way gopro handles artifacts and exposure. I definitely think DJi has the better value based on the initial price and the ability to use so many other audio input options

It's not just magnetic - there are two also "solid" locking clips there that you need to unlock in order to remove the camera from the mount. In the review it's suggested that "magnetic" mount may not be secure. But again - it's not just magnetic! This is what I'm wondering about in regard to riding motorcycles with an action camera, so please let's not confuse basic stuff in the reviews! If it hasn't fallen off - and I haven't heard even 1 reviewer saying that the mount would fail - then it means that it works as intended. The only watch out may be securing it properly. Apparently if you don't push the camera, the clips don't lock in and then it may be magnets all alone, but this is not how it should be installed. I hope this helps and clears the confusion.

@@JakeSloan I did watch it, I have some issues with how you presented things. Some of the things you said the gopro loses on you either got wrong, or ignored issues of the DJI action, or were totally ignorant to gopro's competitive features (ie zoom) 1. you stated you like the default colors of the DJI action more, fine, but why do you not mention that it also blows out the highlights much more and the image quality of the gopro is still better (as you mentioned in your last review)? For example you went into detail about the importance of higher fps and resolution for gopro's slo-mo for the image quality... this didnt change so why do you not spend the same amount of time talking about GoPros better image in almost all aspects when compared to the Dji? 2. The gimmicky modes the action 3 has really does not do much unless you are not super knowledgeable on how to set the right settings for an action sports video etc etc. 3. The gopro HAS ZOOM. I am not sure how you got this information incorrect, but you did, it has a digital zoom. Also you mention its field of view on the linear + horizon lock setting (its most FOV restricted one) and compared it to the DJI camera's setting that technically does not even compete with the gopro here. Gopro included this for when you need horizon lock, not for when you need a wide FOV, so of course on the horizon lock setting the resulting video will be heavily cropped... why don't you compare the "hyperview" setting vs DJI's largest FOV? Why do you select only the GoPro's most narrow (designed without maximum FOV in mind) and what I assume is DJI's most narrow (however lacking full 360 degree horizon lock) settings to compare and state in general that the gopro loses here? 4. I feel like you went over a lot of the DJI's unique design features, but ignored everything the GoPro has to offer in its unique "nice to haves," why? 5. previous video you went into detail about the focus issue, here you did not mention it directly, and just said it was "fixed" well people who get unlucky and buy one of the DJI's with the hardware focus issue cant "fix" it without getting a replacement, so this MUST be mentioned to inform your viewers of this issue and the only way to deal with it I am not calling you a shill or anything, but I do find it weird you are markedly more positive when DJI sponsors the video, and you fail to mention some of the "wins" gopro had in your previous review, and how you plainly got some of the information about gopro's stuff incorrect/mischaracterized edit: clarified point 1 a little bit and added point 5

It's a clear winner for me, DJI all the way. This is what I love about competition, it forces the once leading and complacent company to actually start innovating.

Here’s the only problem I have with this video, DJI have been doing a huge marketing push. They’ve sent the action three out to a bunch of creators that they normally don’t just because they’re trying to push the action three after the whole focus issue. The focus issue has been 100% verified that it is a hardware issue. Now the action three is a great camera if and only if you get one without the hardware problem. They’re pushing out the updated versions where they fixed the problem at the factory to all these content creators and they’re saying hey look it’s fixed, it’s great. But the problem that I have ran into four times now is if you buy one at Best Buy or you order from DJI you’re going to more than likely get one of the old stock ones and it’s going to add a whole bunch of artificial Sharpening to try to fix the focus issue on these older cameras. You just can’t reliably know if you’re going to order one and get one that has been built recently that doesn’t have the out of focus issue or if you’re gonna get the good one. I have went through four of them and I have just given up on it until maybe another year or if they come out with an action four and they’ll have it fixed. I do prefer the user interface of DJI over GoPro. In fact, I don’t even like GoPro’s, but I’ve been forced to use my GoPro now and my action 2 because of all the problems with the action three. Anyone who watches a lot of KZread to try to figure out if they fixed the action three will see that DJI is pushing out free cameras with talking points to these creators and they’re all falling in line, saying hey, this is great. In your new review, you’re saying all good things about the DJI camera and you’re not really saying anything about the GoPro camera so you’re just basically listing talking points from DJI as they’ve sponsored the video. Which is kind of bothersome because all of the content creators are doing this. Me being a very small content creator, and having purchased a whole bunch of these action threes I have found the reality is you’re actually probably going to get one that’s not fixed.

However, I will throw another camera into the reckoning and that's the insta 360 which not only has brilliant image quality (would like to see a comparison against the Go pro and DJI) but also saves a LOT of time in post edit, as it records 360 footage and you just choose what you like. I think if anyone is going to be strong competition against DJI it's the insta 360.

GoPro 11 looks much better in my opinion, color is more accurate, and there is more detail. Battery life aside lol.

Great video Jake. I wish that the 2 Action 3's I got were not out of focus as I really wanted to love this camera. I "might" swing by my local BestBuy and see what date ranges they have, as they say, 3rd time is the charm 😀

yeah I saw your video and was kind of surprised, the later builds definitely seem to have been "fixed" by DJI, maybe they needed to re-align some of their assembly machines or something. I hope you get a good one because it is definitely a good action camera when it works

Thanks for your videos… What manufacturing date was listed on the box of the two A3’s did you test. I’ve bought 2 A3’s that I returned because of the soft focus issue. They were both manufactured September 2022. Thanks

Erm....It's still out of focus! Look at your 4k 60hz with your gortex jacket check closely, there's a real lack of definition over the go pro. Shame really

Not out of focus but it’s the difference between filming on a 5.3k sensor which will always look sharper than a 4K sensor

@@JakeSloan No way mate, the OA3's focus is soft. I can understand if it was 1080p I was watching but its clear as day! the go pro is pin sharp and the OA is soft, not a huge amount but embarrassing against the go pro. Reference check your beard out in the 4k 60hz clip

I did not bash gopro... There are things that gopro does better and things the Action 3 does better

I have both, use both. User experience? DJI wins hands down. GPH11 needs serious work. Quality - 5.7k ? not any better on quality, just able to crop more. MOST people will go, "cinepro"? not a point. Confession, I only have the pro because it was a gift, so I use it, but wouldn't buy it.

Great video! I like the un-biased review of both cameras. The reason I chose the GoPro Hero 11 Black over the DJI Oslo Action 3, is that DJI already has my business when it comes to drones. I have had 9 of them dating back to the original Phantom 1. In my opinion, they make the best drones for my needs. GoPro on the other hand is an American company, and supporting an American company is good business in my opinion. Helps keep our economy strong. Plus, they make great action cameras. I have owned 8 of them dating back to the original Hero 960. Thank you for this honest, in depth review.

Thanks Ted, GoPro still reigns supreme when it comes to image quality in my opinion. but I am glad there are options on the market that also challenge gopro to innovate and push the edge of what their cameras can do

I've been interested in the Action 3 since I heard it was announced. I may impulse buy one in time but not until all the out of focus one's are recalled or sold to people that are fine with it.

@JakeSloan

yeah thats the best plan for sure!

Nice video. My requirement is using camera as my POV recorder when having a half day event, and I chose GoPro 11. Action 3's battery life is really impressive when you shot timelapse (10s interval, 90% battery, last longer than 24 hours), while GoPro would always just about 2 hours run time even you choose 60s interval. But I find I am more impressed by GoPro's image quality and menu settings. Would be great if they can fix the timelapse power consumption, and preview when recording.

Hello, I’m sorry, but I have set a dislike to this video for one major issue on the dji tools that seems never mentioned! It concerns the dji app that is not available through the app store for android, apperently due to potential security/confidentiality issues. This is the first huge and major flow of dji tools. The second flow is that the dji app, even if you install them from there web site, is not compatible with most of recent phones of major brands and some functionalities like controlling the camera from the phone won’t work.
