Switched to OA4 and haven’t looked back
I can see that. 👊🏻
same here!
Ordered mine las night. I’ve always been a GP lover but with so many issues the 12 black was a let down.
Me too
Same here. No issues. My hero 11...well I'm on my 3rd replacement and it just stopped working
DJI Osmo Action 4 is way ahead in terms for video capturing.
DJI itself is way way way ahead of GoPro. GoPro had one and only job which is to improve on their action camera but it seems they are pretty stuck for the last few years with their boring design.
DJI on the other hand have tried something different on OSMO AC2 (yes heating issue) which they manage to resolved and improved on AC3 (then came the lens issue with focusing issues). With AC4, they finally resolves all the old issues and it's probably the best action camera in the market for the masses.
Agree 👍🏻
I'm sold on the Osmo Action 4. The updated camera lens makes all shots super impressive! They really nailed it with this camera👏
It really is!
I've got the Action 4 and a Smallrig cage, much more responsive and reliable than the GoPro i had previously. Really pleased with image quality and smoothness so far.
Nice!
GoPro since the H4, THREE 11’s returned- 2 overheated and one kept glitching, got an A4 and am absolutely over the moon with it ✊
GP are done!
Yep. I can totally see that.
I was recently in the market to upgrade from Hero 7's and decided on the Action 4. Better mounting system, faster quick record (that works every time and also lets you cancel the shut down), quick setting button, front touch screen, external mic compatibility without requiring an adapter. With the GoPro I had multiple cameras so I didn't have to deal with thumb screws switching it between mounts. With the Action 4 I only need one camera and it takes me a few seconds to move it to another mount. I'll never go back.
Couldn't agree more. 👊🏻
Insta360 has gps overlays? I had no idea. How do you apply them?
Both look like amazing cameras, but I can't see past the image quality difference. The DJI OA4 seems to have an issue with blown out highlights. If you look at the edge of the tree against the sky, there is a burned out halo. It shows on the path and skin tones too. The Hero 12 has much smoother tone gradient. With the backlit, shadow test at the end of the video, there is just no comparison. The DJI flares much more too.
This video points out a lot of advantages to the DJI Osmo Action 4 (and very few to the Hero 12), but on image quality, I'm going for the Hero 12. I will also be getting that lens mod 2.0 too, which looks like a great addition.
Can’t argue there. Biggest problem is we can’t have it all! Wish GoPro would get it together.
you seems like an expert, could you give me specific time spot of the blown out highlights in this video? i can't really tell the differences from my side.
Dji have just 10 mpx foto its that enough?.. i had a gp11 and i sold it and now i dont know what to choose between fhis two and i still have the accessories from gp11 its the volta works on dji?? And whats about deleting pictures in dji camera how long does its take to delete picture ??
I don’t rely on this for photos. In a pinch, the 10MP is adequate. I don’t have the Volta to test. Also, deleting is quick
I want to try the action 4 but i don't like the circular camera and it doesn't look that rough
Neither camera are built that rough. Recommend a cage if you’re concerned
I had a GoPro, but bought the action 4 recently. Would definitely suggest you to try and compare the low light situation. It could be impressive!
I'm planning on that for sure!
If you have go pro and action 4, what do you opinion about low light situations of both cameras????
Great question. I'm doing a video on that soon. Big picture is that neither is great for this purpose but the DJI mode is pretty good. @@Unpack
@@JBOutside1 thank you 😊
Great vid. I actually have a quick question. Does anyone know if the action 3 and 4 can mark clips while your recording. Like how GoPro has the mark feature so you can know when the action happened after the fact?
Yes, just hit the QS button on either the camera or the remote and it will make the highlight
@@JBOutside1 awesome thanks!
I have the Tilta cage for my Osmo Action 3 and it's a great cage. Much more versatile than many others.
Totally agree. So well made too. I’d buy one even if I didn’t have the camera 😜 I fidget with it all the time
Thank you for the video. I was about to buy my first camera, a DJI but after seeing the constant pixelation on it, perhaps time for some more research as the GoPro had no pixelation whatsoever. Any way to correct in the DJI settings? Thanks again for the side-by-side.
Glad I could help! I don't think so in settings...these were set-up the same
I REALLY don't think you should be assessing the finer points of video quality based on UA-cam video. You need to download original files that YT hasn't messed with.
@@hindesite agree
@@JBOutside1 Is there a video bitrate setting on the DJI? My hero 8 has a bitrate setting.
@@hindesite Good point. Thanks! :)
Here's a question re mics. Considering these are action cameras above all else, would you use the Osmo with the DJI mic hanging off the side while running, mountain biking etc? It looks pretty fragile on the side. I've done the above with the GoPro 9 and media mod with no issues. Genuinely looking at both to decide but the way of connecting the mic to the Osmo just looks totally stupid. I haven't seen it in person so maybe it's really solid and just looks goofy
You’re right. I wouldn’t do anything active with the DJI mic attached. The media mod is more secure for sure. I should do an audio test with both 🤔
The Dji mic transmitters have an internal storage you can record on w/o attaching the reveicer to the OA4, you can sync audio later in post ,just plugn the transmitter to your PC/MAC/laptop and download the audio files, this is the way i go when filming my gravel bike rides. Hope it helps
THIS.@@andreamarcovaldi
Great review. Right to the point. Thanks. I am a Realtor in Las Vegas so want what is simple and ready to use. I think will go for the DJI. One feature GoPro has though is the ability to film and later decide if will use the same vid for IG Reels [vertical] or UA-cam [horizontal].
True. That IS nice. 👍🏻
Exclnt! Concise overview esp for any YT'rs like myself looking to upgrade (lost my GP 10): Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I'm looking to get a good action camera to record my son at his high school and travel baseball games. I want something I can just put up behind home plate and go. College coaches have said to make sure the video is good quality and can take in whole field. I will also use this action camera on vacation and under water. Which would you recommend?
DJI Action 4…but also look into the Insta360 Ace Pro. Mine arrive this week and I’ll be doing a video very soon. There’s already some of the sponsored content on that camera and it’s looking very good
@JBOutside1 Thanks!! I was leaning towards the DJI. One last question, are there any add-on lenses that can be purchased for the DJI. When filming I need to make sure I get the WHOLE field (he plays outfield) and have the ability to zoom in on any plays he may make. Same for hitting and base running.
@@keithevans0407 both of these cameras have about the same (155 degrees) field of view. Both have a wide angle setting and should be plenty good for that. Placement will be the key. If the wide angle is important then go with the GoPro and the MAX Lens 2.0 mod. That will be the widest. There’s isn’t a similar lens for DJI that I’m aware of
Also, if you’re looking for a used option i have some previous models for sale on my website (shop.jboutside.com) “JBOUTSIDE” code is additional 30% of this weekend
After, doing some further investigation the Insta360 ACE Pro is what I'm going to go with. Can't wait to see your review.
13:49 I love dji, but here, the grass under the sun, can see the details it’s too bright. Or is it just the settings?
Everything was in auto for this.
If you currently have the media mod for GoPro your DJI mic can be used on that. There are UA-cam videos showing DJI mics work with GoPro
Working on an audio test and showing this feature! Thanks
Action 4 is an awesome camera! Zero issues and easy to use
Agree!
Well Done, thank you. I have the gopro 8 and I am convinced to to the GP12, one reason is I like to use the Volta. I recently bought the ace pro and I don't like the sharpness at all. I am finding that my gp8 is sharper, maybe a firmware update is needed or I got a bad copy. I do love the insta360 RS 1 Inch, that is sharp and love the 360.
Good stuff.
The video quality on both cameras is impressive, the Osmo Action4 is a real standout imo. It adds that extra 'wow' factor on fast-paced action shots! 🌟
Totally agree!
The video quality on both cameras is terrible. I always wonder why they don't use the camera from any phone. Because any smart phone takes better video than action cameras. None of them have auto focus. Even old phones have it!
@@mriatravel honestly, I use my phone a lot
Which one would suit for filming golf? Hear the go pro overheats more?
Yeah, so any "action camera" at high frame rates will overheat when sitting still (no airflow) in the sun. But the good news is since you're moving around from shot to shot, if you just want slow-mo shots to watch later you're shooting for a short duration and either will do well in that regard.
I got the GoPro 12. When riding my motorcycle I can connect the helmet mic to the camera directly via Bluetooth and the camera will record both tracks (mic and its own mic). Very handy for this specific case
Nice! How’s the audio from the mic?
@JBOutside1 Quite good actually. I am using a schuberth C5 helmet and the embedded comms are decent. Sadly I'm still testing my setup and haven't a demo video to show.
@@jobtacan you listen to music while the 12 is connected to your cardo ?
1:44 When we talk about the attachment strategy, you forgot that the GoPro has a slide-in shoe that you can place anywhere you need the camera and then quickly mount or dismount.
True. I didn’t talk about that. Good point
Great video , thank you for creating., I’m not going to be a film maker
I just want the best for Mtb
Can you share your opinion for that task only ?
Yes I can. Either will be perfect. If you plan to attach the camera once and leave it I think the GoPro will be better. If you plan to switch from helmet to handlebars to chest, etc I’d say Action 4
What's new with the gopro aside from overheating features??
Outlined in this video
So which one do you think one should buy? Dji or go pro? I really cant decide please tell me!
Haha, yeah it’s tough for sure. If you’re using external mics or moving the camera from mount to mount then DJI. Otherwise probably GoPro but 🤷🏼♂️
@@JBOutside1 which will give more space to editing?
@@Iamdrunkonwater I guess I don’t understand your question. If you’re asking about file sizes I haven’t really compared them.
@@JBOutside1 like which one of them has more feature? Like night effects and other stuff
Thanks for sample. Which of the camera is color accurate or closer to real world color?
Great question and the lighting is critical to the answer. I think try GoPro does a better job personally
@@JBOutside1 tq for reply.
which one should i buy for super cold area please suggest me.
Both will do well, in my experience the DJI did well climbing Mt Rainier
@@JBOutside1 Thank you for suggestion 🙏 .
Got mine 2 weeks ago, can’t wait to use it but still don’t have a silicone case or tempered glass. :(
It’s tough!
@@JBOutside1 ua-cam.com/video/-ss-_IDgsQs/v-deo.htmlsi=GrtWPK9GvCcdtt51
Do you think it will be okay for rides like these? I hate scratches. 😅
Just got my action4, already shocked how flexible it is. The 10-bit color output is sooooo nice for color grading in post. Great action camera, and surprisingly good cinematic camera if you use manual mode.
Nice!!
which one do you recommend to buy for cycling, hiking, running?
I think the versatility of the DJI mounting is the best if you’re moving from one to the other. Only counterpoint is the full frame option on the GoPro.
It's going to be my first action cam. So this is the way I seperate GP or OA.@@JBOutside1
@@MaceraMuhendisi I meant if you’re switching from one mount to the other. If this is your first the DJI may be best
thanks a lot @@JBOutside1
Thank you for delivering an insightful review covering both the GoPro Hero 12 and DJI Osmo Action 4. As a current user of the Osmo Action 3, I appreciate its reliable performance and stunning color quality. The audio on the Osmo Action 3 has always been a standout for me compared to the GoPro. It's fantastic to hear that the GoPro Hero 12 has made significant improvements in audio quality. While I look forward to upgrading to the Action 4 in the future, my Osmo Action 3 is still going strong and meets my needs perfectly. Like you, I believe in making the most of my gear until it truly needs an upgrade. By the way, I also have a 2016 Sony PJ670 HD camcorder that remains a trusty companion in my videography journey. Keep up the great work with your reviews!"
Cool! Thanks for the comment. Appreciate your thoughts on this one. 👊🏻
I bought the Action 4 because of the convenience of the magnetic attaching and battery charging. am tired of my GoPro shutting down and having to take the batteries in and out.
Yep. The shutdowns are terrible, but since I’ve had the 12 I’ve had better GoPro luck
Why cant gopro fix this ?? My Gopro 9 shuts down for no reason!
@@rasmokey4 I had the same problem with the nine. Their fix: the 10, and then 11, and now 12. But I too wish a firmware update would make them more reliable
My Hero 8 has never shut down and it looks great when color grading.
I bought an action 4 one week ago. I feel the difference.
Smaller
Easier
Faster
Better battery
No bug.
😁
Nice! 👍🏻
and no HDR mode =)
@@sunlit777
I dont need it.
But yeah, i forgot to mention:
No overheating issue!
I love my action 4!
The battery is so much worse the cam doesn’t even turn on when I’m cold weather lol.. GoPro enduro battery is 10x better then anything dji has. The dji is only better for filming still in high heat and low light. GoPro 12 does not overheat ever even filming for hours with 2 batteries as long as you are moving a little . If you are stationary then all these cams overheat in 100 degree when the cam is sitting in the sun and no air movement.
Not with the Extreme DJI battery, which is rated for much colder compared to the GoPro Enduro@@xGR1MxREAPERx
The OA4's image is more organic and the footage is already good enough, so not having HDR mode is not an issue for me.
Nice. Agree
Absolutely agree- hdr is overrated anyway 👍🤝
To me as a travel content creator, I find the GoPro is better cuz of the 8:7 sensor and the better picture quality
Good points. I have been bringing both the last few weeks trying to break the tie
How many degrees do you need to run the Action 4?
By my count, the GoPro needs 2 degrees, one for the camera and one for the software.
Great question actually. The Hero 12 has a new layout and it has an “easy” mode that really makes it simple to get the best shot without having to dive into all the settings. DJI doesn’t have that easy mode
Ordered my gopro hero 12, from battery test and skin tone perspective gone with hero 12. Let’s see how it performs
Nice! I hope it works for you. I think it will
It was interesting to see your DJI video looking darker than the GoPro. I have seen the opposite in every other comparison video I have watched. Wonder what your and their settings are set at now.
Everything was in “auto” for mine
@@JBOutside1 Thanks for the info.
That 1/4-20 tripod mounting thread on the Hero 12 is a big deal for me in terms of usability.
I can see that.
i Love the Behind Scene , i Have those moments All the Time
Sometimes there’s a lot and sometimes there’s more! 😜
For me, the overheating issue with the GoPro is unacceptable. My job requires to wear a camera on my chest and record for few hours. The whole process was without any pause, except for changing the battery. DJI Osmo Action is perfect for these situations and never overheats! The GoPro usually only works continuously for about 20 minutes, then it passed out.
I can see that. I’ve had better luck with the 12. Totally depends on resolution and airflow though
I just want a camera to record my skiing the season after next - 2024 will be my beginner season -, and the most popular one I've seen skiers on YT videos mounted on their helmet is the Go Pro, so if the Hero 12 does all what I want it to do, it'll be the one I'll be getting.
Perfect for that! 👊🏻
JB is a main city in my country Malaysia, right next to Singapore! (Johor Bahru) - Keep it up! your video production is very good and you presentation is also very smooth and very coherent.
Thank you! Will do! I didn’t know that. Now I must visit!
@@JBOutside1 We speak English as our second language, I'm sure you'll have a great time here. Hit me up I will be glad to bring you around and maybe make some content together! Malaysia is full of tropical natural wonders and Singapore/JB can fulfil your metropolitan travelling bugs. Till then!
Thanks for the video!
You bet! 👊🏻
Gopro had to release a camera and all they did was to give the 11 a firmware/software update, and call it the 12. Maybe the 13 will have different hardware and be worth parting with your money.
For me personally, it was very appreciated. all the complaints about the bad battery life, now it is a good bit better. at the same time, the hardware is better utilized. for example, more options with the 8:7 sensor.
But I get it, something like the front touch screen would have been a great addition, even if I personally don't need it.
I’m kinda torn on this one. I do agree it’s disappointing overall as an update. But then I also like that all the accessories and batteries work from the 11.
I personally think the colors are a bit "nicer" on the GP. Been using both companies and nearly every model since they debuted..
GoPro is still buggy... hard to pull a battery to reset while diving/skiing
Dji looks and sounds amazing! Im sold, thanks for the vd man.
My pleasure! 👊🏻
Same here. It's going to be the DJI A4 for me as well.
The new Insta360 Ace Pro is a strong new competitor
So when I was faced with this choice I went with the GoPro 12. I was coming from the super buggy glitchy crap known as the GoPro 9 but I wanted to give it one final chance since my GoPro 6 was great before that one.
I’ve been using the GP12 a LOT since I got it and it hasn’t had a single issue! I even just went to an air show and filmed several times 35 minute sets at 4k 60 in the hot Florida sunshine and it never overheated!
This was GoPro’s last chance for me and it’s really winning me back ! Happy with my purchase.
Also, the DJI magnet mounts are my go-to mounting option once I got a DJI GoPro foot set from Ulanzi, so that bonus of the Action 4 is a moot point now.
I agree. I have the Falcam mounts and the GoPro is getting a lot more use. And for the record my Hero 12 hasn’t failed once yet
I've also heard the opposite a LOT. Seems that the 12 is still buggy just not with 100% of the users. Or you might come across it later.
I've used my osmo actino 3 for the last 1.5 years and my hero 4 since launch. Either one has ever had any issue so far. 0 lost videos.
@@PatchedBandit so far my 12 has been in 94 degree hot weather and filmed multiple clips averaging 35 minutes long (air show) and has taken it all with zero overheating, no software glitches, and just straight up works/reliable.
I could never say that about my GoPro 9 - even the one that worked for a long time was buggy with its screen.
Not saying there could be issues in the future or even manufacturing defect models out there, but from my experience I am currently about two months of constant use and the GP12 just straight up works.
From previous gen, GoPro seems to have better colors, is it still the same?
I think so.
How good would these be for a body camera?
Maybe in a short case, ok? But the battery situation wouldn't be great for that...they are also pretty bulky for that...I would guess.
@@JBOutside1 I do have a standard 2k body camera that will last about 12 hours of continuous recording, I know these don’t have nearly the same capacity but if i could get better quality if I really needed it that’s what I’m in the market for. I believe these are thinner than the body camera I already own the only problem I’m seeing with my research is an easy way to mount this on my chest or clip it to my belt without needing a whole case and multiple clip adapters or whatever they’re called
This is a use case I had not considered. You'll need to look into the loop capability of both. I haven't even looked to be honest. There are several easy ways to clip them in and I would look at a Tilta cage and the swivel clip from GoPro. I actually have a whole accessories video filmed and just need to edit it. Both of those will be highlighted in that video.
@@POVgames
what's your pick when carrying just one?
Neither...been using the Pocket 3 lately...video coming soon!
@@JBOutside1Nice! Would love to see pocket 3 compared with action 4!
the sky on gopro 12 at 14:20 is totally blow away, while there is still details on action 4.
Good catch!
Which is the best?
It depends on what you're going to use it for
A choice here depends what's your goal...for short clips gopro, for long footages OA4... but the 8:7 in the recent Gopros is awesome
I agree. That’s the best feature
@@JBOutside1 JB, to edit 4k footages in smartphones, It only works in ios system ? In Android The videos always seen locked, even with a good features of phone...to shoot in 4k and edit it on my phone, is It mandatory to edit in an iPhone or mac ?
@@ramaoh2o that’s a good question. I haven’t edited on my phone
@@JBOutside1 thanks for your response, congratulations for the videos
@@JBOutside1 i work in one Island and shoot some dive vídeos for the clients, and to me its more usefull and practical edit then on my phone, but in Android The Gopro Quik never plays well the 4k footages...
Which one would you keep between the two?
This is a great question. Right now I have more time on the Action 4 and it’s super stable and I like the bigger sensor. But the more I’ve been using the Hero 12 it’s been much better compared to the 11. Once I get the falcam mount I think the Hero 12 might win. So really tough to tell. You really can’t go too wrong with either.
@@JBOutside1 Great to hear from an unsponsored reviewer! I'm undecided. I have GoPro subscription, so the Hero 12 is only $299 vs DJI $499 (battery combo) plus I have a few GoPro accessories. I also purchased the Ulanzi adapter that gives you DJI magnetic mount plus still keeps the Gopro Feet.
Then I think it's an easy decision! GoPro for sure. @@XquisiteAmat
Very useful video, thanks! And that's the funniest way I've ever heard anyone pronounce "Stuttgart". 😅
Glad you liked it! I’ll work on that 😜
I ride dirtbikes and I find the Gopro more responsive for dark to light transition. I also find that the dynamic range is better on the Gopro 12.
Still need to do some more testing with formats and framerates, however so-far I find the Gopro footage better.
Nice!
Nice video overall. AirPods don't even sound good on an iPhone. They do reduce background noise for a phone call and for that purpose they are good but for audio quality it's a no.
True
I want to like the DJI more but based on what I've seen on this video, the highlights are burned out on the DJI.
Fair enough. Thanks for watching!
Base on reviews here in YT and base on those comments, i do choose DJI over GP. The reason is very simple, it's the performance of the DJI OSMO and they continue to improve the software and hardware of its products.
Gotcha
I like my GoPro but I can tell that the company just doesn't care at all about it's customers or how they actually use the GoPro. You have to install GoPro labs just to get basic features like minimum shutterspeed. What a fail. The people who run Gopro have no idea who the customer is.
This edition supports your theory IMHO
I own the Osmo 3, but I don't know if it's because of the UA-cam conversion, but with the Osmo 4, micro jitters in your face are very visible and the images are unusable!
Can you watch the original images again?
And reassure me that these are good 4K images without these micro jitters!
It looks fine on my computer. UA-cam keeps multiple resolutions of the video and feeds the highest quality to you typically. So it might be your connection or UA-cam settings
I’m toiling between the 2 … I keep hearing everybody say the DJI is the better choice as far as image quality goes … But I just keep thinking the GoPro looks a little better in the image quality department.
Yeah, you’re not crazy. It depends on what you’re going use it for.
Which one you pick?
If I had to pick I’d go DJI right now.
I opted for the GoPro 11. The 12 wasn’t out. For me, while I liked many of the features and conveniences of the Action 3, what was more important was image quality. While likely most people, including myself, won’t notice whether the video was captured using the Action 3 or the 11; I will know. In all video comparisons to me the GoPro had more detailed images. Even including this video your hat has more detail in the GoPro. The Action 4’had blown out colours. Your face is washed out in some sections while the GoPro maintained a more natural looking image. While the price and convenience is much better on the Action 4, for me image quality is still a bit better on the GoPro. Considering that image quality is the main design feature of a camera that’s what I went with. But either are great camera and depending upon usage fill different needs.
I totally agree that both cameras are good action cameras. I agree that most often I prefer the GoPro footage too!
if you cover "batteries" cover what batteries does - how long they last for the same video format and not how great they or charger look
🤔
15:00 the leaf of Osmo look🍂 and GoPro 🍃
👀
👊🏼
I don't believe DJI does straight MP4 file format, so you would have to use some stupid conversion software just to make it work on youtube.
All my files are MP4 from the DJI cameras
Do they work straight out of the box on youtube?@@JBOutside1
As someone who recently bought GoPro hero 12 , I wanna cry 😢 should have gone for OA4
Return it?
From this video GoPro has the camera clarity, detail, color.
I agree
The standard kit doesn’t come with the charging case or multiple battery. You have to buy the adventure combo which is $500 instead of $400 to get that charging case thing.. both are great cams. Battery is way way better on GoPro and works in the cold. Dji is better at low light. GoPro way better at slowmo also.
Mostly agree. I think the DJI batteries are better and with fast-charging it's a game changer.
@@JBOutside1 maybe in perfect conditions but In cold weather like I said it isn’t even close. GoPro work same as normal and dji cam won’t even turn on or when you hit record it shuts off lol
Great job
👊🏻
All that matters is reliability. They are action cameras. All else is basically comparable imo. Test should be how many times each fails in 100 tries of quick shot. And I’m sure the dji will be way better. Gopros suck. They fail all the time
I feel like that is the one question nobody has answered or showed a reliability concern with the 12...although I totally agree with previous editions.
Practical usage OA4 is a must, but GoPro 12 wins on image quality, especially stabilisation. Unfortunately OA4 is plagued by micro jitters in varying light and therefore I can’t use it. Great video
Thanks for the info!
did you try action 4 with the latest firmware updates? The jitters problem seem solved!
@@SharondailylifeWhy was there a known jitters problem and no UA-camrs were mentioning it? That's very important to know! Are most of these UA-camrs being paid by DJI or is DJI sending them free cameras and the UA-camrs don't want to upset DJI with a negative review?
@@thomza Maybe, the OA4 is a great blogging camera, but if you search UA-cam you will see video's highlighting jitters in mixed lighting when used in motion. As a blogging camera, people won't see it. Shame as an action camera you want 1st class stability. Neither are perfect but I decided to go with the 12. Maybe next model I could go the DJI route. I have no preference other than what works best for me.
I don't know why but editing footage of the osmo on my iPhone is not good looking. I don't know what it is but the Gopro always looks better after super super simple editing like the capcut app
Thanks for sharing
of course they are close, both have only rec.709 LOG footage, both DON'T SHOOT rec.2020 HDR. The only thing that sets DJI apart is slightly bigger sensor, but whats the use if it does not make use of it in any way, and for GoPro you can give credit for the "fake" smart HDR mode (still rec.709, not real HDR for HDR displays)
To your point, there is a big difference between these and iPhone HDR
@@JBOutside1 - What about like a S23Ultra HDR?
IQ is better with go pro and too with HDR its way better .. om4 has slight adavantage in low light but these are for action shots and GP is better in that .. use the latest card .
Gotcha
Great video. I like the image quality much better from the GoPro
Cool, thanks. It did come out better in these conditions I think
@@JBOutside1 have you used a DJI in low light yet
@@biggooseadventures I have but not enough to compare them yet.
I really love the Action 4. But image quality on videos gopro are superb. ❤
I hear ya…and tend to agree
I own both of these action cams and can tell you that I have found the best choice of these is…an iPhone. Seriously, these are both contrasty trash and I only really use them for motorcycle mounting or in the water. But build quality goes to the DJI. I have batteries in my GoPro expands and go bad constantly.
👊🏻
I was surprised to see so many bad reviews about the GoPro. I wanted to buy a GoPro but it seems DJI just nailed it. I never liked the China concept and there has always been better quality coming from American products but I read and listen and see so many things about the GoPro that it is just puzzling how GoPro can’t fix so many problems. I also heard the mics and sound recording on the go is way better in the DJI than in the GoPro.
Just wait until you add the new Insta360 Ace Pro to the mix…coming soon
Im sorry to disagree with the trend, but from your video the GoPro image looks sharper, with more details, better natural tones and contrast. Ok, you have that cool gadget mic thing on the DJI Osmo. Go get one then. I'm still looking at these as video cameras, so I'll stick with the GoPro.
Good stuff and you're not crazy. The GoPro produces sharper images for sure
You look better and thinner on the DJI Action 4, could be a selling point? Just saying🤔
That certainly is! 👊🏻
What I can see from numerous videos is that the image quality of GoPro is far better. All other things are not that important.
I can SEE that 😜
For many professionals, photo quality is important. For example, a lot of Red Bull and action photographers in general, mount these cameras on planes, cars etc...for photos. So that is also a big factor that no one is talking about. 27mps on GoPro 12 compared to 10 mps on Osmo 4 is a big deal. Anyway... both cameras are good. I also bought dji because I do mainly video, but if I would do both choice would be GoPro.
totally true, everybody mentions it but it doesn't come up enough. I'm guilty because I normally have my iPhone and I use that for photos.
My logic DJI OA4 can have bigger MegaPixel due to its bigger cencor, and can be added later thru softwares updtes
True. Who knows what they'll do with firmware updates. @@MrJagad123
I prefer the GoPro, it has advantages no one talks about. I like the cloud, their app for edits, the Volta is great, and most I like the ability to easily grab a quality photo from a video - I miss all this on the Osmo.
Good points!
gopro cloud is a joke, anyone serious about their vidz is shooting high bitrate - and those files are way to big to upload to cloud in any reasonable amount of time.
@@sunlit777 I don’t use the cloud either in my workflow the file sizes do get quite large
@@sunlit777The GoPro cloud is for storage, not proxy editing. So the upload speed to the cloud doesn't matter.
I love my GoPro Hero 12, but no doubt these are both capable.
Very true
The earlier gopro 9-11 couldn't do the preview because there was a Pat. Lawsuit
Oh! Gotcha 👍🏻
Am i the only one how see that video quality is much better on gopro? Dj action 4 is like gopro 8 in video. Even to compare 4k on 4k. How nobody couldn’t see it ?? Wat
You’re not alone
I think the dji takes the cake solely because you can use the dji mic. The airpods sound like absolute trash.
Agree completely
I changed Action 4 to Gopro 11 Black - due to the ugly DJI flares.
Fair enough
I own the DJI Osmo 3!
What bothers me and what is most important to me is the image quality!
The edge of your instruments on your motorcycle is completely distorted with the footage of this Osmo 4!
Have you not noticed this yourself yet?
So I wouldn’t put too much stock in that simply because I cropped the videos to show them side by side. Also, the phone was on a shock mount so that’s why that was moving around.
@@JBOutside1 I looked at the images of this action 4 again, including the one where you explain how to transfer the images to your mobile phone and use the GPS module, and I decided to buy this action 4!
Thanks for answering my question to revisit the original footage!
I was already very satisfied with my action 3!
Anyone notice the details behind him? DJI blows the GoPro away lol Sad, 12 gen camera, they should be at the top of the list.
Agree
at the end of the day Gopro video is so much better!
It really is!
Yes. I bought gp12 and am so happy with it. I only take video in linear and in DLog, and the image quality is like on my Samsung phone! But the night video is not good.
I really want the GoPro to be dethroned, especially after my last one bricked for no reason after 14 months. The DJI 4.0 looks to have way better features and functionality. However, the GoPro video quality along with the best-in-class HyperSmooth tech, and now with the Max Lens Mod 2.0 and horizon lock - it simply still produces better video (just an opinion). In every side by side with the Action 4.0 - the GoPro footage looks better to me (not by a crazy margin, but better still). I really hope the next generation of DJI produces something that produces better video than the GoPro, because I love everything else about it.
That's a common point for sure...that the GoPro looks better in most cases. I'm testing out the Insta360 Ace Pro right now and that too is a great camera
GoPro 12 has better quality, but the Media Mod just to use an external mic, etc. is very greedy idea
Agree
