After this video was released, DJI has upgraded the camera software that includes 10.bit colours and Rocksteady+ (insane crop) I still setup the camera the same way, I only choose 10.bit instead and this force the camera into H.265 compression.
Hi, I'm currently trying to find the best setups for vlogging, especially moto vlogging... I'm using the new firmware and while I was very impressed with RS+ (I use that whenever i dont mount the camera vertically, then I use HorizonSteady) I noticed that my footage started showing annopying screen jitters when I started to use an ND8 filter and fixed shutter speed. Apparently, and many YT videos seem to say the same, most action cams including my Action 2 and Osmo Action3 seem to have issues with the stabilisation quality when using ND filters and manual shutter settings. I'm hoping to reduce or eliminate this by going back to RockSteady (not plus) and maybe minor settings adjustments (shutter speed)...
@@maxx2174 Yeah, i have this as well on cloudy days or going into areas with a lot of shade! The camera need more or higher shutter speed to work well! So i think it is around 1/200 or 1/250 that is the best shutter speed on this camera
@@TheCBRider86 good point... I've never considered to turn stabilisation off.. but i might try that on my next ride along with the nd filter and manual shutter just for a test...
It's 2 years later and one of the best presentation videos I've watched later. Calm, clear, concise; and the DV Studio tips are absolutely priceless for mental-age challenged guys like me trying to get a grip on using all this stuff :-) thank you. I subscribed on this value alone, will be scouring through you video playlists, cheers.
Thank you so much sir, really appreciate the nice and honest comment. Wanted to make a video that everyone could make good use of. And glad it worked. Cheers 🙏🏻
Just tested mine on a bicycle ride , followed your instructions on how to edit. Really impressed with it , the stabilization is really impressive. I have a GoPro too but this camera is so much better.
Thank You! I recently bought the Osmo Action 3 and looking for help to get the most from it so I really appreciate your demonstrations of using it and Davinci software.
thanks so much for tips color grading, I just purchased my first dji action 3 and I don't really know how to use it for great edit, then I've seen your video pop up on my fyp, its great to learn this less than 15 minute
I see that more and more motorcycle riders prefer the DJI over GoPro. I guess it has most to do with the freezing and corrupting files issues, but yeah. I'm really impressed by this camera, and nothing is better for us than more competition on this market 👏🏻
Thanks, I already have my Action 3 for almost a year now and I do use Davinci Resolve but up to now I always just used auto white balance and the normal color profile. The color page in Resolve just looked too complicated. Your 6 minute introduction looks easy so I decided to throw some appreciation your way and bought the LUT. Now I'm waiting for a bit of nice weather to go out, shoot some footage and start to play with this myself
It looks way more complicated than it is. When you get the hang of what Lift, Gamma and Gain does and how little work can change the picture quality for the better, there is no going back. Really looking forward for better weather myself. The winter hit us hard this year, so still a lot of snow here. Cheers
Great video with a lot of information. But could you please help me ? I also have a DJI AC3 + windslayer but the result sucks ... I even have a big plexi so far what you don't have. What are your settings ? Wind reduction on/off ? Channel mono/stereo ? Directional audio off/front ? And then any specific adjustments in the davinci resolve ? .. and a lot of times the audio sounds like the volume is jumping up and down. Very annoying
My settings are: Channel - Stereo. Noise reduction - on, Directional Audio - Off.... In DaVinci I drag the clip down to the timeline, right click on the clip and Normalise audio Levels, then I use the Sample Peak Program, and use -9 dBFS.... Try that and see what you get?
Just bought an Action 3 and was a bit disappointed with imagery. Will give it another chance with your colour grading and settings. Your are right , operation of this camera couldn't be better. Thanks , learnt a bit more about Davinci too.
How do you use the camera and what did you find disappointing? I’m quite happy with the camera for my use, but with that said, i use my camera only for action shots with a lot of movements etc. Glad the video helped. Cheers
@@tshansen At present I got it to mount on my ebike to record rides. This is satisfactory. Still lacking a great deal of knowledge regarding cameras. Have a pocket 2 though and close in it is crystal clear unlike the action 3 lacking detail and " muffled " . Background lacks detail.
@@philsmeanderings7991 I saw a video where a guy put glasses in front of the camera and it become so much sharper So there is probably a lense issue with some of the cameras, not something to fix in firmware
Yeah, and if you invest in the DJI mic, you Get crazy good motovlog sound from the helmet! Best setup for this type of filming. Glad you found it helpfull
Hi! I just purchased a Osmo action 3 and it's my first action cam. I have to learn a lot but this video already points me in the right direction! What program are you using to run the LUT for colour correct your videos? I want to use it for driving so your setup will be something I will try to achieve as well.
Looks awesome, nice of you to show how easy it could be to just adjust the colors a bit. Will probably order the action 3 later this year. The only downside for me is the mic directions. With the gopro media mod i could choose to only pick up the sound from the rear shootgun mic, no external mic needed then. Maybe need to try the windslayer thing 🙂 have to try the LUT thing aswell 🙂
Yeah, i have heard different feedback with the media mod on the gopro, never owned it my self, but people have some struggles with it. The windslayer makes a huge difference, and i will have the LUT uploaded tomorrow, the link did not work, and I’m at work today.
Do you take any precautions when you are leaving the camera on the side of the road for filming yourselfe driving past? In practice it will take some minutes to take these shots.....
Yes, I make sure it is safe and on the outside of the road so I dont disturb traffic or others that may pass me. I have had a couple of cars slowing down thinking I was the police or something. But normally where I ride there is not a lot of traffic so you manage this quite fine. I don't take any chances. And it has become second nature for me to "look" for spots that can be a good frame to pass by. Yes, it takes a little bit of extra time, but I plan out the day and know what parts I want to focus on when shooting. Cheers 👏🏻
I mounted the exact windslayer you showed on my action 3, and in 15 minutes my camera overheated in 72 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade, and my camera shut down.
@@tshansen I was shooting 4k at 30fps with rock steady on. I wonder if you were shooting 1080 and that's cooler? I so loved your idea. I thought it was brilliant.
@@tshansen You only use the windslayer on your motorcycle, where you probably don't sit still and idle more than 5 minutes? And then you're at 40 mpg/80 km hr or more for good wind cooling? Mine was on a tripod for 15 minutes in my shop, with maybe a tiny fan breeze on it, or maybe no fan. I just thought of that.
Exactly! I'd pick the Action 3 over the GoPro Hero 11 any time! The quick charging feature add to that a much longer battery life, those are big factors why I picked the Action 3 instead of the GPHero11
Yeah, when it comes down to real time use the DJI just win every time. Even if the spec sheet is better on the GoPro, it just lack to much features that is important in day to day use
Before i was about go with gopro but after watching lots of review and your's too, now I'm about to switch towards dji action4. Nice information as i was searching. Thankyou, love form India❤️💐
As a rider I am always interested on how professionals use and setup their action cam and editor. Hopefully I can get some pointers. I see you switch to Yamaha T700. Nice. I guess you got tired of the issues I am experiencing like warped front rotors, coolant leak, slight oil consumption, cold start on one cylinder, etc. Still a fun bike. Thanks for video.
That is nice to hear mate. I consider making some more behind the scenes where In practise show of how I work, what I look for and how I edit it all together. Not sure how to put it all into a watchable video or series yet, but it is a fun project to work with. Yeah, the T7 World Raid suits me and my needs better than the KTM. And like you mention, all the small stuff just got to my nerves. I just can't have a bike that is getting old with so many issues and not get it covered on warranty. Cheers bud, glad you liked it. Cheers 🍻
When you set the whitebalance, that sensor does not matter anymore, it only helps when you go from like say indoors to Outdoors, or down in water with auto whitebalance 😉🔥
Ty for share. I am not a specialist, I just try to understand, but, I if u put on dlogm , it make a flat colours footage. So it's normal that ure vidéo without lut or corrections is bad looking. U can't compare it with the final corrections. I would want to see a comparison between a normal footage and a dlogm corrected
Well, if you not sure if it is worth it, just stick to Normal footage and be happy about it. The reason you want to shoot in D-Log is to match it up with other color profiles and get more flexibility in post. Some want to have the full potential in cameras like this, others don't care and that is fine.
I really like what you do with your Sony camera, with the drive-by? type shots. Do you plan to do a video on that camera and how you use it, and if not, can you say which Sony it is, and what lens you typically use?
I have a couple of videos planed about camera gear and how I use it with some practical examples. But then I need to wait so I can go ride my bike again. early spring is a good time for content like this I think. I will try to show what camera I use, how I plan for certain shots, how I setup and do all the practical outside on the road. The sony I use is a Sony a7s iii with a FE4/24-105 G OSS lense. expensive combo, but what an amazing tool it is. Keep in mind, I use this in professional work as well.
@@tshansen Looking forward to those videos. It seems pretty clear that you must be a professional photographer/videographer of some kind…or should be anyway!! I’m all of 8 months into this as a hobby, and your videos, and what it takes to make them, convince me that I still have so much to learn! I appreciate you telling me the camera and lens you use because that can be quite confusing for a novice to figure out, and I really like the feel of your shots. Now to figure out a less expensive way to do it is the problem! Add that to your list of video ideas please!! 😁 Thanks for taking the time to reply!!
@@twobikesandadrone i have been a hobby photographer my whole life, and it is just the last year i can say that i’m a professional videographer. I just have a huge passion for this and love to learn and become better at the craft 🔥
Thank you for this video. Are you keeping the shuter speed on auto when you using the nd filters? I learned to set the shutter speed twice the frames per second (24 frames are 1/50 Sec). br Dan
Very complete information. It really helped me decide on the Action 3. Let me know which helmet mount model do you have? it looks very functional. greetings
Enjoyed the video, thanks for the LUT! Color grading the DJI has been more challenging than my Nikon gear. Also, glad to see you haven't noticed the focusing issues, I haven't either which makes me wonder if it is specific batches of units.
Thank you so much Christopher, appreciate the support and the coffee ☕️🔥 Action Cam, and their colours are always a little bit difficult or challenging to colour grade, but I find this lut helps me a lot. And make it so much easier to have a consistent result. Yeah, I have seen a lot of videos about this, but I think In some of the cases it is just the lack of sharpness added from the camera compared to the gopro. Wide lenses like this will always have focus issues in close ups. But I'm no expert. I leve it up the others to speculate in this. I'm happy with mine so far 🎥 Cheers
Hey Thomas! this was so helpful! I just got the adventure combo, OA3 for a great price brand new! Very excited about this, going to try and record some of my rides this year! What I experience as I get older, is I really like to look back at pictures of old trips etc, it means more and more to me. I realized I never really had taken so many pictures, and never really any video. Hopefully that will change now!
Great to hear this Daniel. Really glad it was helpful and you found it informative. And i have to agree.. looking back on pictures is one thing, but looking back on trip videos is something completely different and is so much better (in some cases) i really love to do both. Video for everyone, and photos mostly for my self and the family’s. Cheers
@@tshansen Thank you very much! Now I have another problem, when I use the Lut, the colours really sucks, the blue looks radioactive…. Don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
@@Paulschen100 that is because you try to apply the lut on more than one node, or you have shot the footage in normal colour space! This lut only works ok footage shot in D-Cinelike
Great video. I have ordered the action 3 in 2024 as a B roll cam to compliment the Ozmo 4. I was able to get a new one off of Amazon for $194.00 U.S. which I think is an absolute steal considering the quality of the action cam.
@@tshansen Some of the early models had focus problems but that was corrected about 3 months after the issue became known. I'm sure you'll enjoy the hero 12.
Perfect walkthrough for setting up the camera when using the footage as part of a video edit with color grading! 👍I would think most of this is valid for any use of the camera, not just for capture video when motorcycle riding. Need to check out these ND filters. I can understand the need for it on bright sunny days, but do you use it outdoors on cloudy days as well?
Yeah, this settings would be the same for anyone who use this camera. Yeah, it looks like freewell is the only one that offers ND filters at this time! But i guess polarpro is not far behind. Yes i use ND-8 on cloudy days 👏🏻
Hello from France ! Found your nice videos by chance. Just got my motorcycling license last year, still learning (and will always be). Your videos are "selling" well Norway! Now I want to go there! I have a question: is the Osmo Action the only camera (and the drone, of course) you bring with you to film your roadtrips? I tried to bring my hybrid camera (Nikon Z6) in my roadtrips, but between the hassle to get it out of the bag and the fear of having it damaged or stolen, I ended up using my phone most of the time both for filming and shooting stills. I'm now considering buying the Osmo 3 instead, but I also love to shoot and film people and places with a proper camera. Not easy to favor the trip or making pictures!
Hello my friend. Really glad you found my channel and thank you for taking the time to watch and write to me. I also bring my Sony A7S iii as my stationary camera, that i use for most shots. The Osmo Action 3 i only use for riding footage. I understand you are scared for your equipment, it is expensive, but i treat it as a tool. I need it to do the job, and make sure my equipment is insured. I could not go on trips with a poor camera. I’m way to interested in it.
Did you experience any heating with the windslayer? Where i live, the temps go upwards of 38C 😅 BTW, just bought my OA3 Standard combo. wanted adventure combo, but unfortunately it was not available where I live :( Remaining to test out the sharpness. Got the 11/2022 batch.. hopefully it does not have the issue😖
No, i have not have any heating issues with my camera at all. But keep in mind, here we have cold weather almost all year around 😂 But from what i can see online there is not many heating issues with this camera. Cheers
Hi Thomas, will you recommend osmo action 3 for food vlogging indoors like restaurants? Can the soft images from low light footages be edited into a nice video? Im leaning towards DJI because of the price, but it seems many people recommend hero 11 for better image quality. Im just a beginner and will be filming both outdoors and indoors.
I can recommend the Osmo action 3, but if it is better than the Gopro hero 11 is hard to say for that usage. I have never used mine as a vlogging style camera, nor have I used the hero 11. If one camera is better than the other (image wise) it is marginal, and all the other benefits of the DJI Osmo is way more important for me than what you get from the gopro.
How is the digital stabilisation of Action 3 coping with those ND 8/16 filters? Onboard footage looks quite decent with no glithing due to the low shutter speed making RockSteady crazy. Do You use them all the time just switching between 8 and 16? Thanks.
I only use nd8 or no ND at all because of what you describe! The rocksteady is terrible with low shutter speeds! On bright days i use ND8 and cloudy days i run without a ND 👏🏻🔥
Always a treat when I get a notice you have created a new video and thanks for the tip on wind noise reduction and I ordered one for my Osmo Action (first edition). Stay warm my friend :)
I don’t think so… from my experience it is more like the camera lack digital sharpening applied in the camera so you need to add this in post. But i can’t see how it is out of focus. Need to do some more investigation and pixel peeping.
Thanks for the video Thomas - it'd be great to see a comparison of normal colour vs graded d.cinelike for those of us that don't know if we can be bothered with the added effort... cheers!
I may do a follow up on this in a future video. It all depends what you are planing to use your footage for and if you are planing to do some colour correction. If not, use normal colour profile. Cheers
Yes, that is why I got back to the Hero 12. The DJI Osmo Action 3 is almost useless in shadow areas and overcast. You need between 1/200 to 1/500 shutter speed for the rocksteady to work.
Great video, I really enjoyed learning and now I am motivated to review all my moto vlogging video and create more. Thank you. I have a question, please let me know what type of helmet mount do you use to get this footage ? Looking forward to more of these great videos.
@@tshansen Whoa - I was about to leave a comment after the video, but jumped over to Amazon and put an Action 4 in my cart (I have one already), I always make myself wait to next day before ordering lol, so decided to read more comments and found this comment. I also hesitated b/c I saw a video where the fellow recently declared GP 10 was still his favourite. Can you say why you went back to DP, and which one? I appreciate this video is 2yrs old.
beginner question, if the camera is centered on the chin mount that means the lens is not. Does it matter and is it worth putting a couple of short arms to correct for that offset?
@@tshansen tnx for the answer. Indeed it doesn't seem to matter. Looking at vids from people who center the cam vs vids from people who center the lens, I don't see any difference, especially since people are not statues when riding a bike, they move around :)
@@mike-e-moto4615 You are welcome mate, and good luck with getting the information you are searching. Always appreciate a new follower, thank you 👏🏻🔥 Cheers
Do you know if it is possible to streamline the post process in Davinci Resolve? It takes so much time to do exactly the same thing to every shot. Is it possible to chose - lets say - 20 clips at the same time and apply the LUT to all of them? I dont know but I think with a longer video that would easily helps you to save one hour...
Yes, this is really easy to do in Davinci... you set up the node tree in one clip, and then you mark all clips from the same camera and middle mouse click on the first clip you have colour graded. This will copy everything to the existing files. I'm not sure if that was a good explanation, but hope you understood. Cheers
Man great video, i read in more video tutorial, this: "the motion blur effect dont work if the rokstady stabilization are ON" with osmo action3, its true or not? Set: nd filter, 4k 25fps, shutterspeed 1-50, iso 100-800!
Well.... to understand the whole motion blur effect you need to understand what shutter speed does to the image. For normal movement you need a shutter speed of twice the framrate. like when I'm walking around I have 1/50 and a 25fps footage. (PAL region) but when you start moving faster. like a motorcycle, you can have higher shutter speed and still get the motion blur. Like 1/200 is good for riding footage, but the rocksteady on the Osmo Action 3 is so intense, it needs really high shutter speed to work. up towards 1/500 and this will take away the motion blur. If you put on a ND filter, you will only get shaky ruined footage. The micro jitters are intense. This is why I'm not using the Osmo action 3 anymore and got myself a GoPro Hero 12 🙌🏻
Just been trying this camera out and I’ve got to say as much as there’s a lot of positives over the go pro, I’ve been experiencing audio problems with external mic within the helmet. The gain doesn’t turn down enough and there’s distortion especially when the visor is down. Maybe this could be cured with a software update, I’m gutted I was really hoping with was going to be the one.
I never use my action cam with external mic, so i can’t give you my experience with this. But i guess there should be better options to regulate this in camera? 🤔 Maybe easy to do with software update? I’m not sure. My GoPro was starting to mess up my footage at the end of last season, so i really had to change that camera out. I have not got that much experience with this camera yet, but i will only use this as my action cam from now on. The gopro is retired ☺️
how is the Osmo Action 3 for long time recording? I go on tours were we stop every two hours or so and I would like to hook up the camera to a power source for continuos shooting over those periods of time. I'm new to your channel, and would like to know what video editor you are using too. TIA.
Hello Mike I have not tried it for long recordings my self, I only do short clips every now and then. But from what I can understand, looking around online. You hook it up with a power bank, or fixed outlet on the bike and it will continue to run until the memory card is full. I use an editing software called DaVinci Resolve 18. you can find it for free at Blackmagic Design. Cheers
Real nice video Tjommi, pro show! To me it was interesting to see your reasons to go for the Osmo over the Gopro and ofc all the tips and tricks, they apply for the Gopro as well. You got me into the windslayer some years ago, a no-brainer improvement. Nice studio!
Thank you Tjommi 🤩 Yeah, i needed a camera that made life easier and the less hassle it is to use, the more i will use it. I bet you know the difference yourself after getting the gripper mount? The windslayer makes such a huge difference. The studio is coming along great. Nice to have a own man cave 🔥 Skål 🍻
@@tshansen Thats the thing, make life easier with all these gizmo's needed 👀😂 the Dango Design Gripper is definitely one of these things as well. I have a room at home that is used as a store (go figure) that could be a man cave instead, bet You have a 🍺 or two in the cave! Cheers Tjommi, for all the good things to come up 🍺🤌🏻
@@Braapncamp Haha yeah, we are funny that way. But i just love stuff that makes my day easier or lighter. Well, there you go! You’re new project. Make the old store to a own mancave!!! That is a no brainier Tjommi 🤩 Cheers to that, a lot of existing things to come 🥃
Hi. I am looking for advice for DJI Action 4 settings. I am using it as dash camera for my daily bike commuting. I need what recorded car numbers, in low light condition, will be clearest as possible. Now, even in a cloudy day recordings, some car numbers are to blurry to read. Is it that because I'm using only 4K/25fp/s (I am in Europe)? Or do I need to change some sharpness settings?
Thanks for your vid, Thomas. The DJI looks like an easy-to-use cam, making life on the road - ah - easy. But the image quality of the latest GoPro tempts me. I use fully closed transparent underwater boxes for action cams. Bulky? Yes, Sir. Sturdy? Yes, helps a lot when dropping them (offroad). All the best from Nürnberg/Germany, Günter
Good evening Günter, yeah… it is really strange that such small changes can make such a huge difference in usability and wanting to use the camera in different situations. Everything that is stress free or without hassle will be used more often (in my book) Well, dont you struggle with the sound when you put it into those boxes? Can just remember how it was back in the days when we had the first generations of GoPros. Cheers mate
@@tshansen Good evening, Thomas. These boxes do work well. You get some sound (cam mounted on chin or mirror), but you won't get deafened. Only when I install it next to the Transalp's engine on the side crash bar it gets a bit noisy. I have to turn down the volume in post production. But these boxes make life on the road trouble-free. Good that DJI keeps GoPro innovative ;-)
Nice work. I almost bought this at launch. It is softer than the gopro 10 and 11 with less detail, but still gives a pleasing image to my eye, and seems more practical (no overheating, etc..). What put me off is the lack of gyro files for post stabilisation. 10-bit colour was also said to be coming, but there is no official announcement form DJI on this or the gyro file. Given people have been asking for gyro data since the Osmo 2, I'm not sure DJI is interested. currently I'm holding off to see what any firmware updates bring, and how the gopro 11 mini stacks up.
Thank you mate, well... I read somewhere on the DJI forum that the 10-bit is on its way. But with that said, when you compare the 8bit and 10bit difference in the gopro 10/11 there is not that much of a difference. I would love to see a bigger sensor size and 10 bit in next years model or year after. For cinematic footage, the DJI wins without a doubt. Do you really need gyro data with the rocksteady? For my usage with action cams, I have never missed it. I have it for my Sony a7s iii but rearly use it there as well? The 11 mini looks really interesting, but the internal battery made me stay clear. We all know how the sessions camera did 😇 Thank you for this comment. Cheers
I never use my action cam in low light. The sensor is just not big enough. You could try to crank the iso up to 1600 and see how that will affect the image, but don't get your hopes up.
You look like you were lucky with getting one in focus. I've already went through two with the out of focus issue. The plant workers didn't screw in the lens properly on some units.
I have seen some people online that had to return the camera 4 times before getting a proper one. Real shame that so many people have issues with the camera. So they have found the reason for the focus issue now? I guess this is not from DJI them self? More people who have found out by them self? Cheers
Hi, about the windslayer. Did you cut it or modded it to make it fit your action 3? Cause i couldnt find the one you have. (As in a go pro windslayer with a small hole in the front) Ive bought one that is actually meant for osmo action but im a bit worried about the front screen being exposed to possible stonechips. Your solution looks way nicer in that regard so im curious if ive been just looking wrong.
@@tshansen thanks for the fast response. My stubborn mind was looking for it for it for 2 h before i decided to give up an just ask😂 watched a couple of your vids and i find them very imsperational. Keep up the good work and thanks again for your answer
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. I recently bought the OSMO Action 3 and am now looking for a good solution to attach the camera to my motorbike helmet. What mount do you use in your video?
Thank you Sir… in this video i use the gripper mount from Dango Design… but i got a new mount before this season that i glued to the helmet that is way smaller and lighter, the reason i liked the gripper mount so good was the ease to take the camera on and off the helmet. Now with the new magnet quick release it is much easier to take it off and on, compared to the GoPro 👏🏻
Hello, what video settings do you use for upload to youtube? I have OA4. When I export my videos in 4k and then upload to YT. In YT it looks very blury... :(
Hmmm.... really hard for me to know what the issue is. Depends on what bitrate etc you are choosing. I upload 4K h.265 (because my computer can handle it) you can choose h.264 as well. But you want the video to be at least 80.000kbp
Here the osmo 4 and go pro 11 are about AU$469 ( US$ 314), and the osmo 3 is au$270 ( us$181 ). I think for my 1st camera the osmo 3 would be ok yes? Save me some dollars too 😂
Remember that you can hit shift+d to turn off/on all nodes. A lot quicker than select all nodes and use cmd+d. shift+d also works in the edit page btw.
Indeed Pål, I'm so used on turning just one node on and of at the time it is easy to forget. I work so much with keyboard shortcuts it is really hard to remember to tell what you do when working🤣 Did you see that Davinci is coming for iPad as well now 🤩
I hear so mant struggle with this on GoPro’s. Me personaly have been really lucky with my hero 7! Not many bug’s or feeze, but i have run trough way to many batteries 🙈 they have not last long for me!
@@tshansen my hero 5 black works 100%. Hero 9 black was a nightmare. I still use hero 5 as a second camera but replaced the hero 9 completely with the osmo action 3. No regrets!
Good Morning Sven 🤩 So glad to see you in the comment section again. Well, I tried to hook a mic up with a cable from my backpack to the camera via TRS to Usb-C but without luck. I see in some videos it works, and others say you need an adapter. So for me it was to much hassle to get that shit running. And I felt like the camera slowed down like crazy when you connected the mic to the usb-c plug 🤔
@@tshansen ok, thanks. Seems like the audio is acceptable anyway with that GoPro foam around, nothing is better. But if you want to use the cam as a studio cam you will need an adapter to use a better mic and to get rid of the echo. Nice grunt of that T7 engine btw :-)
@@tubelesschannel Yeah, for how I use my Action cam, the windslayer is the best option. I never use the action cam as a studio cam, this is where my Sony shines, but for others who may use it, this is valuable information. The T7 engine is amazing. Damn I have had such a great time on this bike this season 🤩
Hi Thomas, do you have any rule of thumb on when to use ND filters and which one? I made a couple of videos over the weekend with my new Osmo Action 3, using the ND8 Freewell filter. They were shot quite early in the morning and later in the afternoon 9:30am, 2:30pm when the light is not the brightest here in the UK in January. Both videos there is quite a lot of blur in the parts of the shot (handlebars, TFT dash) that are relatively static. When I moved around on the bike for corners, or got a bit jolted by bumps, the image shows a lot of motion blur. I suppose if I used no ND filter, that may have been clearer in the image, whilst the scenery in the video rushing past may still be blurry due to the low-ish light. I will test it of course, but wondered if you had any rule of thumb?
No I don't to be honest. I see that the Osmo Action 3 need a certain amount of light the get the rocksteady to work properly. If your fps drops too low, you will se blurry or wavy footage. The grain in the footage can be eliminated to a degree with forcing the ISO to be low. but that will again affect your Rocksteady and mess up the footage. On a cloudy day this time a year without snow, I would drop the ND filter, rather let the camera adjust it self on auto shutter. But if it is sunlight I would use it. A good tip is to point your camera with the settings (pro mode) visible and see that the shutter speed is obove 1/50 to 1/200... if it is more than 1/200, I would put on the ND filter. I need to do some testing of my own to see if it behaves in the same way as my gopro or I need to do more adjustments.
@@tshansen thanks! That shutter speed tip is exactly what I need, I think. I had not realised that the rock steady wouldn’t work if light is poor, that may explain some of the shakiness in my video.
@@duckbeneathpigeons Great to hear I could be of help to you mate 👏🏻 I need to test it more my self before I can show my absolute favourite settings. Give me a couple of months and I see what I can add to it. Cheers
I have problem, i use sd card from samsung pro plus 256 for dji oa 3, but sometimes the sd card have to be format, it always happen,, can u suggest what have to do?
Hi. Thanks for the video. I just bought an Action 3 and I'm a biker too. Can I ask where have you mounted your camera when you're riding the bike? Is it a chin mount or a chest mount? Thanks.
Think of the ND filter as sunglasses for your camera. If the shutter speed is to high, you will get more of a freeze frame effect and little motion blur. That looks really unnatural and will oversharpen the image. Not great.
Hello mate, glad you found it helpful, i have no idea if the ND filters for action 1 will fit! I don’t think so, because the action 3 looks like a slightly larger camera 🤔 looks like freewell filters are a little bit different
I'm not quite sure what you mean? it is not that much to set up, it is like a gripper thing you just attach in the front? Dango design gripper mount is the name of the chin mount,
Glad I could help Mike... just get out there, capture footage and dear to fail, Try and see what you can make of it, and try again until you nail it. Cheers 👏🏻
After this video was released, DJI has upgraded the camera software that includes 10.bit colours and Rocksteady+ (insane crop) I still setup the camera the same way, I only choose 10.bit instead and this force the camera into H.265 compression.
Hi, I'm currently trying to find the best setups for vlogging, especially moto vlogging... I'm using the new firmware and while I was very impressed with RS+ (I use that whenever i dont mount the camera vertically, then I use HorizonSteady) I noticed that my footage started showing annopying screen jitters when I started to use an ND8 filter and fixed shutter speed.
Apparently, and many YT videos seem to say the same, most action cams including my Action 2 and Osmo Action3 seem to have issues with the stabilisation quality when using ND filters and manual shutter settings.
I'm hoping to reduce or eliminate this by going back to RockSteady (not plus) and maybe minor settings adjustments (shutter speed)...
@@maxx2174 Yeah, i have this as well on cloudy days or going into areas with a lot of shade! The camera need more or higher shutter speed to work well! So i think it is around 1/200 or 1/250 that is the best shutter speed on this camera
If you mount on chin helmet why use rocksteady? I do not … too crop also
@@TheCBRider86 good point... I've never considered to turn stabilisation off.. but i might try that on my next ride along with the nd filter and manual shutter just for a test...
@@maxx2174 did you test ride without? You can see my result on my latest short
It's 2 years later and one of the best presentation videos I've watched later. Calm, clear, concise; and the DV Studio tips are absolutely priceless for mental-age challenged guys like me trying to get a grip on using all this stuff :-) thank you. I subscribed on this value alone, will be scouring through you video playlists, cheers.
Thank you so much sir, really appreciate the nice and honest comment. Wanted to make a video that everyone could make good use of. And glad it worked. Cheers 🙏🏻
Recently purchased the Action 3. This information is just what I'm looking for. Thank you !
Glad to hear you found this video informative mate 👏🏻 And congrats on your new action cam 👏🏻

It is the gripper mount from dango design 🔥👏🏻
Thanks a lot for this awesome video! Fantastic color grading! 🔥🔥🔥
You are welcome. Really glad this video was useful for you 🙏🏻
Just tested mine on a bicycle ride , followed your instructions on how to edit. Really impressed with it , the stabilization is really impressive. I have a GoPro too but this camera is so much better.
Great to hear that mate. Cheers
love it how simple and easy is this colour correction.. btw "option" key is "alt" on PC...
Great tutorial
Thank you sir, appreciate it 🔥
Thank You! I recently bought the Osmo Action 3 and looking for help to get the most from it so I really appreciate your demonstrations of using it and Davinci software.
Great to hear that mate... glad It was helpful. Cheers 👏🏻
that black foam case in the most genius idea ever !!!
it is really effective and cheap 👏🏻
thanks so much for tips color grading, I just purchased my first dji action 3 and I don't really know how to use it for great edit, then I've seen your video pop up on my fyp, its great to learn this less than 15 minute
You are welcome mate. Glad you found it helpful. Cheers
Moved from GoPro to DJI a long time ago, love the original and the Action 3 is perfect for motovlogging…
I see that more and more motorcycle riders prefer the DJI over GoPro. I guess it has most to do with the freezing and corrupting files issues, but yeah. I'm really impressed by this camera, and nothing is better for us than more competition on this market 👏🏻
Thanks, I already have my Action 3 for almost a year now and I do use Davinci Resolve but up to now I always just used auto white balance and the normal color profile. The color page in Resolve just looked too complicated. Your 6 minute introduction looks easy so I decided to throw some appreciation your way and bought the LUT.
Now I'm waiting for a bit of nice weather to go out, shoot some footage and start to play with this myself
It looks way more complicated than it is. When you get the hang of what Lift, Gamma and Gain does and how little work can change the picture quality for the better, there is no going back. Really looking forward for better weather myself. The winter hit us hard this year, so still a lot of snow here. Cheers
Finally! Someone to make my Bike Rides easy to grade. Thank You & Thank You for the LUT. Working perfectly with the Action 4.
You are welcome mate. Glad you liked it 🙌🏻
Great video with a lot of information. But could you please help me ? I also have a DJI AC3 + windslayer but the result sucks ... I even have a big plexi so far what you don't have. What are your settings ? Wind reduction on/off ? Channel mono/stereo ? Directional audio off/front ? And then any specific adjustments in the davinci resolve ? .. and a lot of times the audio sounds like the volume is jumping up and down. Very annoying
My settings are: Channel - Stereo. Noise reduction - on, Directional Audio - Off.... In DaVinci I drag the clip down to the timeline, right click on the clip and Normalise audio Levels, then I use the Sample Peak Program, and use -9 dBFS.... Try that and see what you get?
Just bought an Action 3 and was a bit disappointed with imagery.
Will give it another chance with your colour grading and settings.
Your are right , operation of this camera couldn't be better.
Thanks , learnt a bit more about Davinci too.
How do you use the camera and what did you find disappointing? I’m quite happy with the camera for my use, but with that said, i use my camera only for action shots with a lot of movements etc. Glad the video helped. Cheers
@@tshansen At present I got it to mount on my ebike to record rides. This is satisfactory. Still lacking a great deal of knowledge regarding cameras. Have a pocket 2 though and close in it is crystal clear unlike the action 3 lacking detail and " muffled " . Background lacks detail.
@@philsmeanderings7991 I saw a video where a guy put glasses in front of the camera and it become so much sharper So there is probably a lense issue with some of the cameras, not something to fix in firmware
Thanks for the pointers! I'm just thinking of trying to motovlog this time! I guess I picked the right actioncam.
Yeah, and if you invest in the DJI mic, you Get crazy good motovlog sound from the helmet! Best setup for this type of filming. Glad you found it helpfull
What is the blck cover for? To not freeze? For the microphone?
Windnoise, reduce windnoise 👏🏻
Hi! I just purchased a Osmo action 3 and it's my first action cam. I have to learn a lot but this video already points me in the right direction! What program are you using to run the LUT for colour correct your videos?
I want to use it for driving so your setup will be something I will try to achieve as well.
Glad it was helpful Pieter.. I use a software called DaVinci Resolve 18. You can find it for free at bit.ly/3yifLJ7
Looks awesome, nice of you to show how easy it could be to just adjust the colors a bit. Will probably order the action 3 later this year. The only downside for me is the mic directions. With the gopro media mod i could choose to only pick up the sound from the rear shootgun mic, no external mic needed then. Maybe need to try the windslayer thing 🙂 have to try the LUT thing aswell 🙂
Yeah, i have heard different feedback with the media mod on the gopro, never owned it my self, but people have some struggles with it. The windslayer makes a huge difference, and i will have the LUT uploaded tomorrow, the link did not work, and I’m at work today.
Just wondered which winds later you used, I use the rycote dead cats to deflect the wind which are ideal but a bit crazy looking.
I use old windslayers from my GoPro hero 7 and just modified them a little to fit the new mount.
Awesome, I especially found value in the Davinci Resolve piece, just starting to use it myself and figuring it out.
Great to hear! And glad you found it helpful 👏🏻
Do you take any precautions when you are leaving the camera on the side of the road for filming yourselfe driving past? In practice it will take some minutes to take these shots.....
Yes, I make sure it is safe and on the outside of the road so I dont disturb traffic or others that may pass me. I have had a couple of cars slowing down thinking I was the police or something. But normally where I ride there is not a lot of traffic so you manage this quite fine. I don't take any chances. And it has become second nature for me to "look" for spots that can be a good frame to pass by. Yes, it takes a little bit of extra time, but I plan out the day and know what parts I want to focus on when shooting. Cheers 👏🏻
Díky!
Thank you so much mate. Really appreciate the support 🙌🏻 Absolute legend
I mounted the exact windslayer you showed on my action 3, and in 15 minutes my camera overheated in 72 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade, and my camera shut down.
That sounds like a issue with the camera? I have had no issue with overheating with mine 🤔
@@tshansen I was shooting 4k at 30fps with rock steady on. I wonder if you were shooting 1080 and that's cooler? I so loved your idea. I thought it was brilliant.
@@weldersandblaster i shoot mostly in 4K 25, so i’m quite amazed it overheat
@@tshansen You only use the windslayer on your motorcycle, where you probably don't sit still and idle more than 5 minutes? And then you're at 40 mpg/80 km hr or more for good wind cooling?
Mine was on a tripod for 15 minutes in my shop, with maybe a tiny fan breeze on it, or maybe no fan. I just thought of that.
Exactly! I'd pick the Action 3 over the GoPro Hero 11 any time! The quick charging feature add to that a much longer battery life, those are big factors why I picked the Action 3 instead of the GPHero11
Yeah, when it comes down to real time use the DJI just win every time. Even if the spec sheet is better on the GoPro, it just lack to much features that is important in day to day use
Before i was about go with gopro but after watching lots of review and your's too, now I'm about to switch towards dji action4. Nice information as i was searching. Thankyou, love form India❤️💐
You are welcome brother 🙏🏻
As a rider I am always interested on how professionals use and setup their action cam and editor. Hopefully I can get some pointers. I see you switch to Yamaha T700. Nice. I guess you got tired of the issues I am experiencing like warped front rotors, coolant leak, slight oil consumption, cold start on one cylinder, etc. Still a fun bike. Thanks for video.
That is nice to hear mate. I consider making some more behind the scenes where In practise show of how I work, what I look for and how I edit it all together. Not sure how to put it all into a watchable video or series yet, but it is a fun project to work with. Yeah, the T7 World Raid suits me and my needs better than the KTM. And like you mention, all the small stuff just got to my nerves. I just can't have a bike that is getting old with so many issues and not get it covered on warranty. Cheers bud, glad you liked it. Cheers 🍻
Doesn't the wind slayer cover up the color sensor in the logo between the two front mics?
When you set the whitebalance, that sensor does not matter anymore, it only helps when you go from like say indoors to Outdoors, or down in water with auto whitebalance 😉🔥
@@tshansen ah ok thanks I did not know that 👍😁
@@BassManStrikes you are welcome mate 🤩
if you use h264 it takes off d-cine and auto flicker also cant use pro mode
Yes, this video was made before the firmware update that included 10.bit recording. 10.bit recording is only supported in h.265
Ty for share. I am not a specialist, I just try to understand, but, I if u put on dlogm , it make a flat colours footage. So it's normal that ure vidéo without lut or corrections is bad looking. U can't compare it with the final corrections. I would want to see a comparison between a normal footage and a dlogm corrected
Well, if you not sure if it is worth it, just stick to Normal footage and be happy about it. The reason you want to shoot in D-Log is to match it up with other color profiles and get more flexibility in post. Some want to have the full potential in cameras like this, others don't care and that is fine.
@@tshansen u didn't understand me.
@@cypiongm8698 Sorry, please ask the question again with better explanation and I can try to help
I really like what you do with your Sony camera, with the drive-by? type shots. Do you plan to do a video on that camera and how you use it, and if not, can you say which Sony it is, and what lens you typically use?
I have a couple of videos planed about camera gear and how I use it with some practical examples. But then I need to wait so I can go ride my bike again. early spring is a good time for content like this I think. I will try to show what camera I use, how I plan for certain shots, how I setup and do all the practical outside on the road. The sony I use is a Sony a7s iii with a FE4/24-105 G OSS lense. expensive combo, but what an amazing tool it is. Keep in mind, I use this in professional work as well.
@@tshansen Looking forward to those videos. It seems pretty clear that you must be a professional photographer/videographer of some kind…or should be anyway!!
I’m all of 8 months into this as a hobby, and your videos, and what it takes to make them, convince me that I still have so much to learn! I appreciate you telling me the camera and lens you use because that can be quite confusing for a novice to figure out, and I really like the feel of your shots. Now to figure out a less expensive way to do it is the problem! Add that to your list of video ideas please!! 😁
Thanks for taking the time to reply!!
@@twobikesandadrone i have been a hobby photographer my whole life, and it is just the last year i can say that i’m a professional videographer. I just have a huge passion for this and love to learn and become better at the craft 🔥
Thank you for this video. Are you keeping the shuter speed on auto when you using the nd filters? I learned to set the shutter speed twice the frames per second (24 frames are 1/50 Sec). br Dan
Yes, i keep the shutter speed at auto, it makes it much easier to work with in different Lightning conditions
Very complete information. It really helped me decide on the Action 3. Let me know which helmet mount model do you have? it looks very functional. greetings
Glad to hear that mate! I use the gripper mount from dango design 🔥👏🏻
@@tshansen Thanks a lot!
Enjoyed the video, thanks for the LUT! Color grading the DJI has been more challenging than my Nikon gear. Also, glad to see you haven't noticed the focusing issues, I haven't either which makes me wonder if it is specific batches of units.
Thank you so much Christopher, appreciate the support and the coffee ☕️🔥 Action Cam, and their colours are always a little bit difficult or challenging to colour grade, but I find this lut helps me a lot. And make it so much easier to have a consistent result. Yeah, I have seen a lot of videos about this, but I think In some of the cases it is just the lack of sharpness added from the camera compared to the gopro. Wide lenses like this will always have focus issues in close ups. But I'm no expert. I leve it up the others to speculate in this. I'm happy with mine so far 🎥 Cheers
Hey Thomas! this was so helpful! I just got the adventure combo, OA3 for a great price brand new! Very excited about this, going to try and record some of my rides this year!
What I experience as I get older, is I really like to look back at pictures of old trips etc, it means more and more to me.
I realized I never really had taken so many pictures, and never really any video. Hopefully that will change now!
Great to hear this Daniel. Really glad it was helpful and you found it informative. And i have to agree.. looking back on pictures is one thing, but looking back on trip videos is something completely different and is so much better (in some cases) i really love to do both. Video for everyone, and photos mostly for my self and the family’s. Cheers
Is there anymore benefit to using this camera then using your cellphone ?

@@tshansen Thank you very much! Now I have another problem, when I use the Lut, the colours really sucks, the blue looks radioactive…. Don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
@@Paulschen100 that is because you try to apply the lut on more than one node, or you have shot the footage in normal colour space! This lut only works ok footage shot in D-Cinelike
Great video. I have ordered the action 3 in 2024 as a B roll cam to compliment the Ozmo 4. I was able to get a new one off of Amazon for $194.00 U.S. which I think is an absolute steal considering the quality of the action cam.
I’m not happy with my Action 3. almost like i think there is something wrong with it. So i upgraded to the gopro hero 12

Perfect walkthrough for setting up the camera when using the footage as part of a video edit with color grading! 👍I would think most of this is valid for any use of the camera, not just for capture video when motorcycle riding. Need to check out these ND filters. I can understand the need for it on bright sunny days, but do you use it outdoors on cloudy days as well?
Yeah, this settings would be the same for anyone who use this camera. Yeah, it looks like freewell is the only one that offers ND filters at this time! But i guess polarpro is not far behind.
Yes i use ND-8 on cloudy days 👏🏻
Hello from France ! Found your nice videos by chance. Just got my motorcycling license last year, still learning (and will always be). Your videos are "selling" well Norway! Now I want to go there! I have a question: is the Osmo Action the only camera (and the drone, of course) you bring with you to film your roadtrips? I tried to bring my hybrid camera (Nikon Z6) in my roadtrips, but between the hassle to get it out of the bag and the fear of having it damaged or stolen, I ended up using my phone most of the time both for filming and shooting stills. I'm now considering buying the Osmo 3 instead, but I also love to shoot and film people and places with a proper camera. Not easy to favor the trip or making pictures!
Hello my friend. Really glad you found my channel and thank you for taking the time to watch and write to me. I also bring my Sony A7S iii as my stationary camera, that i use for most shots. The Osmo Action 3 i only use for riding footage. I understand you are scared for your equipment, it is expensive, but i treat it as a tool. I need it to do the job, and make sure my equipment is insured. I could not go on trips with a poor camera. I’m way to interested in it.
what is your setting to export from davinci to youtube at the best ?
I export a 4K timeline in QuickTime h.265 with 80.000kb - Main10 encoding profile.
Did you experience any heating with the windslayer? Where i live, the temps go upwards of 38C 😅
BTW, just bought my OA3 Standard combo. wanted adventure combo, but unfortunately it was not available where I live :(
Remaining to test out the sharpness. Got the 11/2022 batch.. hopefully it does not have the issue😖
No, i have not have any heating issues with my camera at all. But keep in mind, here we have cold weather almost all year around 😂 But from what i can see online there is not many heating issues with this camera. Cheers
Hi Thomas, will you recommend osmo action 3 for food vlogging indoors like restaurants? Can the soft images from low light footages be edited into a nice video? Im leaning towards DJI because of the price, but it seems many people recommend hero 11 for better image quality. Im just a beginner and will be filming both outdoors and indoors.
I can recommend the Osmo action 3, but if it is better than the Gopro hero 11 is hard to say for that usage. I have never used mine as a vlogging style camera, nor have I used the hero 11. If one camera is better than the other (image wise) it is marginal, and all the other benefits of the DJI Osmo is way more important for me than what you get from the gopro.
How is the digital stabilisation of Action 3 coping with those ND 8/16 filters? Onboard footage looks quite decent with no glithing due to the low shutter speed making RockSteady crazy. Do You use them all the time just switching between 8 and 16? Thanks.
I only use nd8 or no ND at all because of what you describe! The rocksteady is terrible with low shutter speeds! On bright days i use ND8 and cloudy days i run without a ND 👏🏻🔥
Always a treat when I get a notice you have created a new video and thanks for the tip on wind noise reduction and I ordered one for my Osmo Action (first edition). Stay warm my friend :)
Glad to hear that Mike, always appreciate your comments and nice to hear you got a windslayer as well. Those things works wonders.
do you have a focus prob un the Action 3 ?
I don’t think so… from my experience it is more like the camera lack digital sharpening applied in the camera so you need to add this in post. But i can’t see how it is out of focus. Need to do some more investigation and pixel peeping.
Hey man, great video, what is the chin mount you are using pls? Looks very easy to put on. Thanks!
It is the gripper mount from dango design 👏🏻
Thanks for the video Thomas - it'd be great to see a comparison of normal colour vs graded d.cinelike for those of us that don't know if we can be bothered with the added effort... cheers!
I may do a follow up on this in a future video. It all depends what you are planing to use your footage for and if you are planing to do some colour correction. If not, use normal colour profile. Cheers
Great set up for the Action 3! I'd try this when I get my camera soon! Thanks for the tutorial!
Cheers mate, glad you found it useful 🔥
Can you do something this comprehensive for the DJI Mic 2 regarding motovlogging? Great video.
I can sure try, but keep in mind i don’t motovlogg, so having a mic inside the helmet etc is noting I normally do
Did you have any issues with the stabilization of the video when using ND filters?
Yes, that is why I got back to the Hero 12. The DJI Osmo Action 3 is almost useless in shadow areas and overcast. You need between 1/200 to 1/500 shutter speed for the rocksteady to work.
Great video, I really enjoyed learning and now I am motivated to review all my moto vlogging video and create more. Thank you. I have a question, please let me know what type of helmet mount do you use to get this footage ? Looking forward to more of these great videos.
Helllo mate, glad you liked the video. In this video I used a Gripper mount from Dango Design
Can you do at low light/night video editing tutorial for DJI action cams as well in Da Vin, it will be awsome
I don't have the Osmo Action 3 anymore, I went back to GoPro. But if I get my hands on the ned Osmo Action I might do a video about that. Cheers
@@tshansen Whoa - I was about to leave a comment after the video, but jumped over to Amazon and put an Action 4 in my cart (I have one already), I always make myself wait to next day before ordering lol, so decided to read more comments and found this comment. I also hesitated b/c I saw a video where the fellow recently declared GP 10 was still his favourite.
Can you say why you went back to DP, and which one? I appreciate this video is 2yrs old.
beginner question, if the camera is centered on the chin mount that means the lens is not. Does it matter and is it worth putting a couple of short arms to correct for that offset?
Not at all mate, you have such a wide Angle lense that this is not noticable at all. So leave it center 🤩👏🏻
@@tshansen tnx for the answer. Indeed it doesn't seem to matter. Looking at vids from people who center the cam vs vids from people who center the lens, I don't see any difference, especially since people are not statues when riding a bike, they move around :)

Do you know if it is possible to streamline the post process in Davinci Resolve? It takes so much time to do exactly the same thing to every shot. Is it possible to chose - lets say - 20 clips at the same time and apply the LUT to all of them? I dont know but I think with a longer video that would easily helps you to save one hour...
Yes, this is really easy to do in Davinci... you set up the node tree in one clip, and then you mark all clips from the same camera and middle mouse click on the first clip you have colour graded. This will copy everything to the existing files. I'm not sure if that was a good explanation, but hope you understood. Cheers
@@tshansen Ah great. Thats worked. Thanks...
Man great video, i read in more video tutorial, this: "the motion blur effect dont work if the rokstady stabilization are ON" with osmo action3, its true or not?
Set: nd filter, 4k 25fps, shutterspeed 1-50, iso 100-800!
Well.... to understand the whole motion blur effect you need to understand what shutter speed does to the image. For normal movement you need a shutter speed of twice the framrate. like when I'm walking around I have 1/50 and a 25fps footage. (PAL region) but when you start moving faster. like a motorcycle, you can have higher shutter speed and still get the motion blur. Like 1/200 is good for riding footage, but the rocksteady on the Osmo Action 3 is so intense, it needs really high shutter speed to work. up towards 1/500 and this will take away the motion blur. If you put on a ND filter, you will only get shaky ruined footage. The micro jitters are intense. This is why I'm not using the Osmo action 3 anymore and got myself a GoPro Hero 12 🙌🏻
@@tshansen thk u👍
Just been trying this camera out and I’ve got to say as much as there’s a lot of positives over the go pro, I’ve been experiencing audio problems with external mic within the helmet. The gain doesn’t turn down enough and there’s distortion especially when the visor is down. Maybe this could be cured with a software update, I’m gutted I was really hoping with was going to be the one.
I never use my action cam with external mic, so i can’t give you my experience with this. But i guess there should be better options to regulate this in camera? 🤔 Maybe easy to do with software update? I’m not sure. My GoPro was starting to mess up my footage at the end of last season, so i really had to change that camera out. I have not got that much experience with this camera yet, but i will only use this as my action cam from now on. The gopro is retired ☺️
@@tshansen you would think in the 21st century of technology they would make a camera that just works lol
You may want to consider the Osmo Remote Mic. Expensive, but perfect for moto vlog.
how is the Osmo Action 3 for long time recording? I go on tours were we stop every two hours or so and I would like to hook up the camera to a power source for continuos shooting over those periods of time. I'm new to your channel, and would like to know what video editor you are using too. TIA.
Hello Mike
I have not tried it for long recordings my self, I only do short clips every now and then. But from what I can understand, looking around online. You hook it up with a power bank, or fixed outlet on the bike and it will continue to run until the memory card is full.
I use an editing software called DaVinci Resolve 18. you can find it for free at Blackmagic Design. Cheers
Real nice video Tjommi, pro show! To me it was interesting to see your reasons to go for the Osmo over the Gopro and ofc all the tips and tricks, they apply for the Gopro as well. You got me into the windslayer some years ago, a no-brainer improvement. Nice studio!
Thank you Tjommi 🤩 Yeah, i needed a camera that made life easier and the less hassle it is to use, the more i will use it. I bet you know the difference yourself after getting the gripper mount?

I can only find a windslayer for the earlier version of osmo action cam. Will that work?
Not sure, i used some from gopro 7 😂 not tested anyone else
@@tshansen Oh, that one you were using on the video...that was meant for a GP 7? It fits? 😅
Hi.
I am looking for advice for DJI Action 4 settings.
I am using it as dash camera for my daily bike commuting. I need what recorded car numbers, in low light condition, will be clearest as possible. Now, even in a cloudy day recordings, some car numbers are to blurry to read. Is it that because I'm using only 4K/25fp/s (I am in Europe)? Or do I need to change some sharpness settings?
I think you need to turn on the specific night time modus for that. These small sensor cameras does a terrible job in low light condition.
@@tshansen Thank You, for the answer. I will try. :)
Hello sir, thank you for this video. I’m still however, wondering which mount are you using to attach the action to your chin? Thank you.
In this video i use the gripper mount from dango design, but the last year i have used a own mount for the krios pro that you glue to the front!
@@tshansen I’ve just googled a bunch for my Arai XT4, I think that gripper mount is very versatile, thanks!
Did you fix the shutter speed? Do you keep the 180° "rule"? Thanks
No, with rocksteady i need to have it at lest set to 1/200 or 1/250
@@tshansen Thank you!
Which Windslayer are you using? I can only seem to find them listed for GoPro devices.
I use some old ones for my gopro hero 7 that i had laying around! But you need to modify it 👏🏻
Thanks for your vid, Thomas. The DJI looks like an easy-to-use cam, making life on the road - ah - easy. But the image quality of the latest GoPro tempts me. I use fully closed transparent underwater boxes for action cams. Bulky? Yes, Sir. Sturdy? Yes, helps a lot when dropping them (offroad).
All the best from Nürnberg/Germany, Günter
Good evening Günter, yeah… it is really strange that such small changes can make such a huge difference in usability and wanting to use the camera in different situations. Everything that is stress free or without hassle will be used more often (in my book) Well, dont you struggle with the sound when you put it into those boxes? Can just remember how it was back in the days when we had the first generations of GoPros. Cheers mate
@@tshansen Good evening, Thomas. These boxes do work well. You get some sound (cam mounted on chin or mirror), but you won't get deafened. Only when I install it next to the Transalp's engine on the side crash bar it gets a bit noisy. I have to turn down the volume in post production. But these boxes make life on the road trouble-free. Good that DJI keeps GoPro innovative ;-)
Nice work. I almost bought this at launch. It is softer than the gopro 10 and 11 with less detail, but still gives a pleasing image to my eye, and seems more practical (no overheating, etc..). What put me off is the lack of gyro files for post stabilisation. 10-bit colour was also said to be coming, but there is no official announcement form DJI on this or the gyro file. Given people have been asking for gyro data since the Osmo 2, I'm not sure DJI is interested. currently I'm holding off to see what any firmware updates bring, and how the gopro 11 mini stacks up.
Thank you mate, well... I read somewhere on the DJI forum that the 10-bit is on its way. But with that said, when you compare the 8bit and 10bit difference in the gopro 10/11 there is not that much of a difference. I would love to see a bigger sensor size and 10 bit in next years model or year after. For cinematic footage, the DJI wins without a doubt. Do you really need gyro data with the rocksteady? For my usage with action cams, I have never missed it. I have it for my Sony a7s iii but rearly use it there as well? The 11 mini looks really interesting, but the internal battery made me stay clear. We all know how the sessions camera did 😇 Thank you for this comment. Cheers
Isn't covering the light sensor in the front in the O letter of the branding affect the auto wb etc if we leave them on auto?
This sensor is to adjust WB under water, but you should never set WB on auto! This is the one thing that ruin most footage on all cameras today!
@@tshansen Thank you so much for the swift answer fellow biker. Strange that sensor is not properly explained in the manual.
Need a night time setting video I ride in the woods I can never get the low light one to turn on
I never use my action cam in low light. The sensor is just not big enough. You could try to crank the iso up to 1600 and see how that will affect the image, but don't get your hopes up.
Thanks for review, tell me please which sd card the best?
I’m not sure what is the best, but i have had great experience with the Sandisk cards. And still use them.
You look like you were lucky with getting one in focus. I've already went through two with the out of focus issue. The plant workers didn't screw in the lens properly on some units.
I have seen some people online that had to return the camera 4 times before getting a proper one. Real shame that so many people have issues with the camera. So they have found the reason for the focus issue now? I guess this is not from DJI them self? More people who have found out by them self? Cheers
How do you fitting the whole handel bars and the mirrors when i record i can only se 1 mirror
Wide or ultra wide on the settings.
When do you use nd 8 or 16 in when ridning. It is dark when I use use nd 16 in sunny days and I use manual expusure controll
Is Action 4 using 10-bits/log for Hyperlaps?
Not sure, i don’t own the action 4
Hi, about the windslayer. Did you cut it or modded it to make it fit your action 3? Cause i couldnt find the one you have. (As in a go pro windslayer with a small hole in the front) Ive bought one that is actually meant for osmo action but im a bit worried about the front screen being exposed to possible stonechips. Your solution looks way nicer in that regard so im curious if ive been just looking wrong.
I took a windslayer for the gopro hero 7 and cut it to fit my needs 👏🏻🔥
@@tshansen thanks for the fast response. My stubborn mind was looking for it for it for 2 h before i decided to give up an just ask😂 watched a couple of your vids and i find them very imsperational. Keep up the good work and thanks again for your answer
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. I recently bought the OSMO Action 3 and am now looking for a good solution to attach the camera to my motorbike helmet. What mount do you use in your video?
Thank you Sir… in this video i use the gripper mount from Dango Design… but i got a new mount before this season that i glued to the helmet that is way smaller and lighter, the reason i liked the gripper mount so good was the ease to take the camera on and off the helmet. Now with the new magnet quick release it is much easier to take it off and on, compared to the GoPro 👏🏻
@tshansen thanks a lot , will have a look for it;-)
Hello, what video settings do you use for upload to youtube? I have OA4. When I export my videos in 4k and then upload to YT. In YT it looks very blury... :(
Hmmm.... really hard for me to know what the issue is. Depends on what bitrate etc you are choosing. I upload 4K h.265 (because my computer can handle it) you can choose h.264 as well. But you want the video to be at least 80.000kbp
I will buy one for my motorbike licence test.. Thanks for the tips!
@@hanoitripper1809 go for the action 4, not the 3 🤌🏻🔥
Here the osmo 4 and go pro 11 are about AU$469 ( US$ 314), and the osmo 3 is au$270 ( us$181 ). I think for my 1st camera the osmo 3 would be ok yes? Save me some dollars too 😂
Remember that you can hit shift+d to turn off/on all nodes. A lot quicker than select all nodes and use cmd+d. shift+d also works in the edit page btw.
Indeed Pål, I'm so used on turning just one node on and of at the time it is easy to forget. I work so much with keyboard shortcuts it is really hard to remember to tell what you do when working🤣 Did you see that Davinci is coming for iPad as well now 🤩
lol 360 camera. search on yt for how to!
When I select the color D-Cinelike h.264 codec is unavailable, it automatically changes to HEVC
Yes, the new 10bit upgrade set the camera in HEVC! It is no problem, it can only be a little bit Harder for older machines to transcode or render 👏🏻🔥
Great tip for the windslayer case!
Such a easy and simple solution to kill the worst baffle sounds
I bought the action 3 after years of disappointments with shitty gopro software.
So far I have had zero bugs with this Dji camera.
I hear so mant struggle with this on GoPro’s. Me personaly have been really lucky with my hero 7! Not many bug’s or feeze, but i have run trough way to many batteries 🙈 they have not last long for me!
@@tshansen my hero 5 black works 100%. Hero 9 black was a nightmare. I still use hero 5 as a second camera but replaced the hero 9 completely with the osmo action 3. No regrets!
Hi, great guide. I also use DJI action 3 for motorcycle tourism. Can you tell me what helmet mount you use? Greetings from Poland.
Hello Skyrez, glad you found the video helpful. I use the helmet mount from Dango Design called Gripper mount. Cheers 🍻
@@tshansen Cool. Thanks for your quick reply. I have one more question...does it fit all helmets?? I ride in Nolan N70-2X
@@tshansen Does not cover the air intakes?
@@skyrez7848 It will cover the air intake, but there is no problem with it, the air still get’s in on the sides and trough. I can highly recommend it.
Nice walkthrough ! But what about external mics....do you still have to buy an adapter to plug it in?
Good Morning Sven 🤩 So glad to see you in the comment section again. Well, I tried to hook a mic up with a cable from my backpack to the camera via TRS to Usb-C but without luck. I see in some videos it works, and others say you need an adapter. So for me it was to much hassle to get that shit running. And I felt like the camera slowed down like crazy when you connected the mic to the usb-c plug 🤔
@@tshansen ok, thanks. Seems like the audio is acceptable anyway with that GoPro foam around, nothing is better. But if you want to use the cam as a studio cam you will need an adapter to use a better mic and to get rid of the echo. Nice grunt of that T7 engine btw :-)
@@tubelesschannel Yeah, for how I use my Action cam, the windslayer is the best option. I never use the action cam as a studio cam, this is where my Sony shines, but for others who may use it, this is valuable information. The T7 engine is amazing. Damn I have had such a great time on this bike this season 🤩
Whic windslayer model (goprp model fit ?) is fitting the action 4 ?
The one I use is for the GoPro hero 7... it will fit the Action 4.
@@tshansen thanks :-). But bad luck….i just ordered the one for 9-10-11 and it is already dispatched for transport
@@scannorse Don't worry should fit that one as well I think. The one from the hero 7 is a bit loose.
Hi Thomas, do you have any rule of thumb on when to use ND filters and which one? I made a couple of videos over the weekend with my new Osmo Action 3, using the ND8 Freewell filter. They were shot quite early in the morning and later in the afternoon 9:30am, 2:30pm when the light is not the brightest here in the UK in January. Both videos there is quite a lot of blur in the parts of the shot (handlebars, TFT dash) that are relatively static. When I moved around on the bike for corners, or got a bit jolted by bumps, the image shows a lot of motion blur. I suppose if I used no ND filter, that may have been clearer in the image, whilst the scenery in the video rushing past may still be blurry due to the low-ish light. I will test it of course, but wondered if you had any rule of thumb?
No I don't to be honest. I see that the Osmo Action 3 need a certain amount of light the get the rocksteady to work properly. If your fps drops too low, you will se blurry or wavy footage. The grain in the footage can be eliminated to a degree with forcing the ISO to be low. but that will again affect your Rocksteady and mess up the footage. On a cloudy day this time a year without snow, I would drop the ND filter, rather let the camera adjust it self on auto shutter. But if it is sunlight I would use it.
A good tip is to point your camera with the settings (pro mode) visible and see that the shutter speed is obove 1/50 to 1/200... if it is more than 1/200, I would put on the ND filter. I need to do some testing of my own to see if it behaves in the same way as my gopro or I need to do more adjustments.
@@tshansen thanks! That shutter speed tip is exactly what I need, I think. I had not realised that the rock steady wouldn’t work if light is poor, that may explain some of the shakiness in my video.
@@duckbeneathpigeons Great to hear I could be of help to you mate 👏🏻 I need to test it more my self before I can show my absolute favourite settings. Give me a couple of months and I see what I can add to it. Cheers
Hello great video. You have a great helmet mount for your osmo action. What is it?
Yes, it is Michal… it is really nice and so great to use. It is the Gripper mount from Dango Design. Cheers ☕️
Such great advice on the setup, thank you! What GroPro Model size of Windslayer do you use for your DJI Action 3?
Glad you found it helpful mate 👏🏻🔥 it is the windslayer for the gopro hero 7 i use, but i guess more of them works if you do some modifications
@tshansen Much Appreciated
I have problem, i use sd card from samsung pro plus 256 for dji oa 3, but sometimes the sd card have to be format, it always happen,, can u suggest what have to do?
Maybe there is some issue with the memory card! Try a different one, and see if it is the same
this is a very useful video for someone considering getting an Action 3, thank you!
Thank you mate, appreciate that 👏🏻
Hi. Thanks for the video. I just bought an Action 3 and I'm a biker too. Can I ask where have you mounted your camera when you're riding the bike? Is it a chin mount or a chest mount? Thanks.
I have the camera mounted on the chin when I’m riding, i think this gives the best POV when riding. Cheers
@@tshansen thanks. Yes, it looks great.
Really great video thank you!
You are welcome, hope it was useful 🙏🏻Cheers ☕️
Shutter speed auto what the point to use nd filters? 🤔 Can I add shutter speed as manual.?
Think of the ND filter as sunglasses for your camera. If the shutter speed is to high, you will get more of a freeze frame effect and little motion blur. That looks really unnatural and will oversharpen the image. Not great.
@@tshansen but in this camera I can pick shutter speed manual is it?
@@Cinoo90 yes, you can put every camera in manual! But a manual shutterspeed wont help on bright sunny days
@@tshansen I know but for fpv cinematic stuff I rather have control of the light don't want changing light during recording 👍
@@Cinoo90 Than you are all covered with this camera 👏🏻
you mention the charger.. can you add power bank and run the camer for many hours?
Yes, you can!
@@tshansen great thank you.
@@tshansen Is there a preroll mode, where you have it on your bike/dash and hit record after you see some bad driving or have a near miss??
@@sammorganmoore I think so, nothing i ever use, but i think i have read something about it! Check DJI 🔥
@@tshansen thanks.
Excelent video! I have a question: is the nd filter the same for action 3 and action 1 or they are incompatibles!?
Hello mate, glad you found it helpful, i have no idea if the ND filters for action 1 will fit! I don’t think so, because the action 3 looks like a slightly larger camera 🤔 looks like freewell filters are a little bit different

How did you setup the chin mount??
