A good one! Finally, I'm upgrading from a Hero 4 to the DJI4. Good job on sharpening the Katana!
the image quality of action 4 is insane!!
Can you tell if the Action 4 is as good as the GoPro 11 in terms of image quality? I'm sure you're working on a comparison.
Thanks for the great review! God bless.
Hello Ben I do have a question, do you need a V60 card for the 10-bit? Thanks.

One of the best action 4 test video and review
Hello. If I have to choose in terms of still image quality (wide angle selfies, landscape etc.), which one will be better GP Hero 11 or DJI Osmo Action 4? Thanks in advance!
the kitchen low light shot is def better than my action 3, now I want the 4 🤣
Just ordered one. Had it with GoPro's issues, and the fact you can't stream to your phone while recording. Ver important when mounting on the bumper of my jeep when off roading.
It sucks that the Osmo Action 4 can't be used until you go through an activation process with the DJI app installed on the smartphone. You're out of luck if your phone is not on the approved list. You can only skip this step 5 times, before you're blocked out. If there is a way around this, I would love to know about it.

What gimbal should I but to this DJI? Isteady pro4?
How are the stills? Is there much shutter lag with photos?
With Gyro data being captured I do wonder if you could use ND filters and then stabilise the slower shutter speed (1/50 or 1/60) in post?

These are the questions I wanna see answered. I love the awesome stab but it looks soo bad at lower shutter speeds
Does it have good performance in night recording or in very low light? And, most importantly for me, does DJI still not include the AEB photo mode that the original Osmo Action (Osmo Action 1) had?

Whats the different between charging case of action 3 to 4? In germany the case of action 4 costs 40 euro more then the older one. Is the case of action 4 really better?
Great video Thanks. I jumped to AO4 because its a much better camera. Also I wasn't impressed of Gp's underhanded tactics to cheat it's subscibers out of rollover payments (myself included) without any notification! Seems like dji will go from strength to strength in the future.
Would you use Rock Steady or Rock Steady +? I’m confused by the difference and not sure which to use for a majority of my shots.

I stick with Rock Steady. Not as much noise for me as the plus. I believe the plus has better stabilization but with that comes some visual noise.
The dji action 4 does look similar to the action 3 but probably with some new features
Not worth the upgrade unless you need the new features to be honest
Useful, thanks! Fun video, loved the Katana's as well.

Is there any actioncam that has 10x optical zoom and great low light performance?

what about small metal particles sticking in the lock??

Bro you forgot the Biggest Update. its large Sensor in Low Lights is a Beast. Anyway Hope to get Sponsored in DJI too. i got nearly 1m View on tiktok with DJI Action 3 but sadly still few Follower so i guess it will not, Hoping atleast replace my 3 with 4 cause i really like the Night Shot on this camera and less distortion in Wide Shots. I also shot my DJI action 3 in crazy storm with strong wind while doing bike well its just short video in DJI 3.
Why is minikatane in the video😂 love the video funky cameo frem minikatana 🎉🎉😂
I bought the 1st one and raved about it but realize i cannot upload any media on any platforms to an error. Did they ever fix the uploading issue.
Do you need the Wireless MIC 2 or IT is good without it?

I've had the OA4 for a couple of weeks, and when front mounted on my helmet it's been fine (only do up to 100Km/h), and also on some pretty bouncey back roads. I wasn't event thinking about it after a few minutes. Note that whilst the magnetic mounting is awesome (I came from a GP7) with bike gloves on, be careful the two small grips have clicked in - just takes a short while to get the technique, but it's a thing. Also loving the front screen - I can quickly change settings looking in the mirrors.

Yes, due to the NDA the influencers sign they can’t post about it until the moratorium is lifted. That was at 9am east coast United States. They could post it earlier but would most likely not get demo units in the future and could open themselves up to legal action depending on what’s in the NDA. It’s pretty standard through many industries to operate new releases in this manner.

Let's compare it with GoPro 12 please 🥺
Please tell me that they improved its ability to use a wired mic for motovlogging??? That was its critical flaw... Plugging in a LAV mic, even with the gain turned all the way down, would blow out the audio with distortion... Absolutely horrible... The only audio solution I found that worked, was the DJI wireless mic setup, but it was too many parts, clunky, and it fried when I got caught in the rain... Can you do a test to show a wired LAV mic plugged in, in a loud environment such as being on a motorcycle at highway speeds with loud exhaust and wind noise? haha It would sound fine sitting at a stop light, but as soon as I got over 30mph it was unusable, and that was with the LAV mic buried in the helmet out of the wind, and TWO wind socks on it...

@@AuthenTech I have tried about a dozen of them, no joke. Right now, I am on either a Road LAV II, or an xVive LV2 Pro... I went back and forth, and it was a matter of the DJI not allowing the gain to go down low enough... The Insta360 OneRS 4K that I am using at the moment, lets you go down to -18dB and it's good 99% of the time... If I put the gain closer to 0dB then it starts blowing out like the DJI did... It was a known issue with the Action 3, and wireless was the answer. The DJI wireless mic allowed -12dB on both the Tx and Rx, as well as the camera, so you could get it dialed in perfect. The problem was that on a helmet, now you have a camera, a cage with cold shoe mount, the Rx box, a USB cable from that to the camera, the LAV in the helmet plus the Tx box... It was really cumbersome to manage all that, and the first storm I got caught out in, it fried the $330 mic system. lol

thread size is different due to the action 3 having a 1/1.7" sensor and action 4 having 1/1.3", so no unfortunately ND filters won't be compatible
I know you mentioned at the beginning that this video is sponsored by DJI so of course they want you to talk about all the good but this video just doesn't seem as genuine as your other videos. Really hoping for an update comparison video where you feel free to give your honest opinions.

Wow
these Katana shots .. well. 120fps and wide angle somehow isnt impressive

Those who are thinking to buy this, STOP. Gopro is coming next month better image quality and 8k resolution. Pretty sure their slow motion will be way better than this chinese stuff. DJI is good but you are underestimating goPro. They still can't beat gopro in image quality
I thought they are your kids
Great camera! Unfortunately not much has changed really. All improvements are great and very much needed to push & keep the industry evolving and I don't want to take away from that. This being said, here are some thoughts about some changes and things to consider if you are thinking about buying this: 1st - 18m waterproofness instead of 16m: great! I get that 18m is the standard depth limit for open-water diving and it's very cool that the camera is on par and can handle this. But the average person going for a dive often won't even reach 16m, and if they do, they're not gonna be like oh this is 16 or 18. If the person does, chances are high that she/he has a diving watch and is somehow invested in the sport and will eventually go even deeper than 18m and will need a case anyway. So just buy it 🤷 it's nice to have, but could've improved something more significant instead of this 2nd - Larger sensor: Obviously the major and best selling point for this newer version. Not much to say. It's good to see. 3rd - image quality which goes along with the sensor and was a major selling point for GoPro against Action 3 for many people! DJI stepped up their game and might even be on top now! 4th - The Action4 is obviously here to compete with the GoPro Hero11 & the coming Hero12. Yet, this camera still can't shoot 240fps @2,7 which I know doesn't bother many people (me included) but I've heard people complain about it on the Action 3 while the Hero11 already had it. At least with the Action4 it should be available. 2 generations behind GoPro. It's just a must. 5th - Selling a separate GPS Bluetooth Remote Controller for !€ 80,-! is a really low move from DJI, honestly... not much to be said really just disappointing. Just build it in like GoPro man, can't be that hard + it's not like you don't need to buy a ton of other accessories already anyways 🙄 DJI does have its advantages like the mounting, larger FOV, So, basically what I am trying to say is that the DJI Action4 is a very very minor upgrade from the Action 3 for all that price difference. This is GoPro's chance to really catch up since this is more like a Action 3.5!! If GoPro fixes their shutting down due to overheating or too cold environment, overall reliability and customer service + e.g. making a bigger sensor too, it'll get kind of tough for DJI tbh. Obviously or at least you would think so, they are gonna increase their prices too but it's not like DJI didn't anyways and if it's not as much as DJI did... 👀👀 I'd really consider the Action 3. And even if you still want the Action4 I'd wait anyways to see if they have other problems like the previous version did in the beginning or even wait for thee Hero12 to compare.
