I am planning to buy go pro H9. Now i've seen this review, and the others. I better go for this one. Aside from the price, way cheaper than the hero 9, I enjoy editing as well, footage looks better for me. This is really a good review. 👍
Just picked up a used one on Adorama for $150...Score! Besides the great GUI DJI always seems to have the best color science in their products. With d-cinelike and a good set of nd filters this camera can still be beast in a tiny package(3 years after release date too!).
I was about to buy a second GoPro and hadn't even heard of this camera until I saw it in another review. After watching several of these reviews now, this is definitely better than a GoPro. No more accidentally recording hours of video in time lapse because I accidentally touched the screen wrong...
Sean I just bought the osmo action camera to take to this drone meet up in Florida. You were the 1st channel I thought of for a tutorial and I thank you bud. You gave me good info and saved me a lot of time in the click menagerie lol. Thanks bud. Very helpful and much appreciated bud.
Hi thanks so much for this video, it's extremely helpful! Quick question, do you know if there is a setting that may allow the Osmo Action to take multiple auto photos? For example, setting the Osmo Action on a tripod to take random photos through out an event without having the need of an operator press the button or say the command.
Straight away I can see you have different options within settings @4:21 (Face Orientated Exposure) ???....and yes my firmware (v01.02.00.10) is "latest".....any thoughts ?
I lost volume on my camera and was going to send it in for repair but you helped me fix it! YOU SIR ARE AWESOME! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I wish this camera came with instructions!
Useful tips, thanks! How about a video showing how to control it remotely rather than the back screen? For my GoPro 7s I most often use the app rather than the small hard-to-see text on the back of the screen (we with older eyes, you know ... :0) ).
Very clear and informative video. Thanks alot for sharing. I'm planning to buy this microphone - Saramonic LavMicro U3-OA omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with Type-C Connector for DJI. Any comments?
Thank you very much. I went from opening the box to in half hour using the camera too a certain reasonable level due to watching your video. Great explanation 👍👍
omg, mine has been stuck on timelaps when i hit the start button. I have lost video and audion for a trip this weekend. It was all time laps, ughhh. The snapshot change did the trick. 2 years later your video was the easiest to find the fix! thanks for posting years ago, lol
Yep, good tips- Thank you very much. I didn't know how to get to the front screen so as easy as it is- it wasn't easy to figure out so for that tip alone- Very Great-full mate- Cheers and keep up the great work.
I've heard enough reviews of GP to know that they are not reliable. I've owned one and the software sucks too. DJI seems to be much above GP in quality and reliability.
Thanks for helping me set Osmo action camera tonight. Here is where I could use some serious assistance. I am a total novice at shooting videos and photography. I’d really like to turn out some good content. Do you have a video or a page that has a recommended list of different presets for taking slow motion, Time lapse, hyperlapse, and so on...if there is a show on LOL that’s how new I am to photography. I am also turning in to a LumaFusion pro because of your very helpful videos.
COOKIESCRIB couple of tips I’ve learned. 1) make sure rocksteady is on. 2) if you think you will do slow mo, shoot in 60fps so you can slow it down when editing and still keep it smooth. I haven’t used the slow-mo option much though..not sure how many FPS that is.
I have recently started using my Osmo Action camera with a chest strap when riding my bike on forest trails. The problem is I never know when the camera is off or on or in standby mode. Can you give me any advice on how to use it this way successfully with voice control?
Tomorrow is the final test for me, I record my hikes and have not been thrilled with the GP7 overall, so far I love everything else about the Action. If it passes the hike test, and DJI starts shipping batteries, the GP is history!
Please report back on how It performed for you. Some countries are now selling batteries in the charging kit, in Canada they’re still listed as out of stock. I imagine will see full availability of batteries with in the next week or two
@@AirPhotography Did about an hour hiking with it, surpassed the Hero 7 Black in every regard. I'll post the footage in the next few days. Only gripe, when the iPhone screen locked it lost connection with the camera and wouldn't regain it. Had to stop the recording then it would connect again.
Thanks for the video, very helpful! I noticed at 4:59 while you were talking about how to turn on the grid you have an option in your settings for "face-oriented exposure" which is not on mine. What firmware are you running? I've only updated mine through the Mimo app, is that the best way to keep it up to date? Thanks again!
Any thoughts on when I'm watching the video footage from the SD card to my laptop for 4k 30 it's kind of glitchy and freezing. I have my dascam camera Rove 2 4K and the footage is so clear.
Thank you sir. You solved my problem. I removed SD card cover. But failed to put it back. I was so upset. You nicely explained. I'm very happy with your video. Love from Pakistan and USA.
when you say screen switch and its already on the front screen will it switch to the rear screen? I believe the double touch on the front screen does not switch it to the rear screen
Thanks for the review! It doesn’t make sense to try following the shutter rule if you intend to use rocksteady. The motion blur messes up the stabilization system and the footage becomes often unusable
🔴🔴🔴excellent presentation and quality info. Just want to share one more thing I found while adjusting the volume up and down... if you put your finger left side of the play button and move it up and down, it will adjust the brightness 👌🏽👍🏼😂🔴🔴🔴
have you tried to plug this into ipad cos ive tried to get the videos from osmo action and it doesent seem to work i thought i would be able to transfer videos without removing sd card and putting it in to a card reader which works fine thanks stuart
I think the best take-away from this video applies to all of us who take 'photos or videos on digital media. Always make sure you've got enough storage capacity to last your shooting requirements (battery life). Have enough memory cards to match your batteries, swap your storage card when you change the battery, and format it as part of your power on checks. I carry two card cases, one for unused, one for used.
Man, you speak awesome! Nobody really has speaking skills on par with you. It was nice to listen too & I,ve gained valued knowledge. You've got my sub for great quality sir. Happy holidays and Happy New year.☃️🏔️❄️🌨️
I have a brand new camera out of the box it was fine. Charged up went to turn on nothing? Plugged in charger cable turns on? Remove cable turns off? defective or is there a way to reboot by pressing combination of buttons? do I need to return it!!!! disappointing to say the least, any help?
Great review, I recently start to use the osmo action (I´m a gopro user) and i just love the camera but I still don´t see any big differences from the gopro family appart of the front screen
This video is so helpful to me. Osmo Action is my first action camera ... lots of DSLR and iPhone experience, but this little guy ... holy cow! I really like that the video zipped through the features. It all made sense and I have a good sense of where things are on the camera and in the menus. I am sure I will watch this several times but I’m ready to give the camera a try now. Thank you!
I've had my action camera for two days and very disappointed that the subjects seem so far away. I've watched lots of reviews on youtube which show great videos, but I have to wonder if they were shot on the DJI action camera or on more expensive, professional type cameras???
That is a good question I’m not sure about that I have used a maximum of 256. Hopefully somebody will be able to answer your question, you can always fire off an email to DJ I support I’m sure they’ll be able to answer pretty quickly for you. I’d be pretty curious of the answer myself
Chuck Ostrom I’ve just got back from Vanuatu and had not issues with fogging. I did get a waterproof case and that did get wet inside and the case did fog.....but not the lens cap.
The polar pro cinematographic 10 pack is that the vivid 5 pack kit and the shutter 5 pack kit in one 10 pack or are the vivid 5 pack the shutter 5 pack and the cinematographic 10 pack different

GoPro Hero9 is the biggest piece of crap I bought in the last year. It’s the worst GoPro ever made.
I was about to buy a second GoPro and hadn't even heard of this camera until I saw it in another review.
After watching several of these reviews now, this is definitely better than a GoPro. No more accidentally recording hours of video in time lapse because I accidentally touched the screen wrong...
Price for quality wise, this is the best action cam out there rn
I was tossing up between the hero 7, 9 or osmo. I went with the osmo very happy.
Same here, happy with my choice too
Thanks for the great video. I'm a newb in the "action camera" world and found your tips very helpful.
thanks for the tips. I just got the DJI action yesterday
is it possible to use multiple osmo action cameras with mimo something like GoPro remote to control up to 50 cameras?
Sean I just bought the osmo action camera to take to this drone meet up in Florida.
You were the 1st channel I thought of for a tutorial and I thank you bud. You gave me good info and saved me a lot of time in the click menagerie lol.

Great video! Just picked up our DJI Osmo Action today and we love it.
Hi, thanks for the video. Do you find rocksteady works better on a lower resolution?
After a year this is still a very good tips and tricks video to get started with this amazing camera.
Thx for the video. How much time can you get on a full charge?
I lost volume on my camera and was going to send it in for repair but you helped me fix it! YOU SIR ARE AWESOME! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I wish this camera came with instructions!
This is a great camera for the money and easy to use.
Very helpful thank you . You have saved me many hours of scratching my head come Christmas day.
Yeah there's always something wrong with the crappy GPs
I really appreciate this video! It's very helpful and now I'm so excited to use my new Osmo Action :)
Useful tips, thanks! How about a video showing how to control it remotely rather than the back screen? For my GoPro 7s I most often use the app rather than the small hard-to-see text on the back of the screen (we with older eyes, you know ... :0) ).
Please do a review of polar pro vs Freewell filters
hi thanks for the video, i am having problem opening up the lense cover, it is so tight. Is there any way to open it ??? thanks in advance
I want to use osmo action as my primary camera. What are your suggestions.
Very clear and informative video. Thanks alot for sharing. I'm planning to buy this microphone - Saramonic LavMicro U3-OA omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with Type-C Connector for DJI. Any comments?

Do you happen to have a list of recommended settings for the osmo action for motovlogging ?
This video is the perfect manual for this camera!
Sper helpful, all of this! Just taken a used camera from delivery. Will take a bike and try to shoot anything. So far looks awesome!
Thank you very much
Very helpful video! I've been fumbling my way through it for a month now and never with my glasses handy.
Yep, good tips- Thank you very much. I didn't know how to get to the front screen so as easy as it is- it wasn't easy to figure out so for that tip alone- Very Great-full mate- Cheers and keep up the great work.
Good review!...I switched from GP7 to Osmo Action...made me happier 😊
JimpeeRN I was going to get the Gp7 or 8 ,but end up purchasing the Osmo Action.... 😂
I've heard enough reviews of GP to know that they are not reliable. I've owned one and the software sucks too. DJI seems to be much above GP in quality and reliability.
I now know what to buy after reading your comment folks 😂
Thanks, I finally got one.
can you tell me what is the best SD CARD for our osmo action? Thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks for going into detail, it has helped this new user, thanks again for sharing.
That was Xpecially helpful, thanks dude I will be able to start off with my filming a lot smoother due to these handy tips and tricks!
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it
Does it split the video files like go pro's do .
Great informative video. Thanks.

Hi there, does the screen switch option works while recording a video?
Great video .. do you think they will do a update so this will connect to an iPad
Hello. Can a mobile phone be used as a remote monitor while gij is filming?
Thank you, your video help me a lot to understand the settings.
can it switch between the screens while recording or do you have to stop recording, switch screens and then start back recording?

That option is also on mine and I have only updated the first firmware on the DJI Mimo app.
@@eddieanderson6579 Ok, good to know. I've only updated they one time when I initially set my camera up... I'll keep my eyes open, thanks!
Any thoughts on when I'm watching the video footage from the SD card to my laptop for 4k 30 it's kind of glitchy and freezing. I have my dascam camera Rove 2 4K and the footage is so clear.
Very good video leant me a lot I just need to keep watching for another 1000 times to remember
Swinetown Americanbulldogs 💪🏾 memory
I'm looking into buying one .... nice demo ... thanks
Does this record 4K like 4096x2160 or 3840x2160 ?
Thank you sir.
You solved my problem.
I removed SD card cover. But failed to put it back. I was so upset. You nicely explained. I'm very happy with your video.
Love from Pakistan and USA.
Amazing video!! I was about to buy hero9 but after reviewing latest videos I am actually going for Osmo Action and this video was really helpful!!
can you switch the screen from the back to front while recording?
when you say screen switch and its already on the front screen will it switch to the rear screen? I believe the double touch on the front screen does not switch it to the rear screen
Does DJI Osmo Action 1 support Invisible stick?
Can I turn of Bluetooth connection from the camera or it has to be always active? Thanks!
Love your tips. I'm a newbie, just got my Action and in heavy learn mode. Do you have any vids on best post software to use?
Hi, i would like to ask you how long can be one video shot? Is it some limitation except of card size?
Thanks for the review! It doesn’t make sense to try following the shutter rule if you intend to use rocksteady. The motion blur messes up the stabilization system and the footage becomes often unusable
Great video...thank you. Just picked up an Osmo Action with the price drop and this little gizmo is AMAZING!
Yes it’s a great little camera for the price
🔴🔴🔴excellent presentation and quality info. Just want to share one more thing I found while adjusting the volume up and down... if you put your finger left side of the play button and move it up and down, it will adjust the brightness 👌🏽👍🏼😂🔴🔴🔴
Does DJI Osmo Have An Editing Program Similar To 'Quik' ?
David L. Morrow mimo app
have you tried to plug this into ipad cos ive tried to get the videos from osmo action and it doesent seem to work i thought i would be able to transfer videos without removing sd card and putting it in to a card reader which works fine thanks stuart
Have you done any reviews on monitor mods for this or GPs I have GP hero 7.
Hi there how did you get the lens removed so easily? I can't do mine, it's too tight. Thanks for the tips
just got an Osmo Action. These tips were great!! Thanks
Great I’m glad you enjoyed them

Great video! Just got the DJI osmo for my birthday and this has given me a great overview being a noob 🙌🎥
Thank you for your time to make this great review.
A nice overview, that gives really useful information and shows key features. Well done.
I appreciate this video!
Just ordered this. Thanks for the tips.
Great beginner tips. Thanks.
I just got Action today, this video was very helpful. Thanks!

Danke gut gezeigt! Stay save
Does the camera keep spot metering on between power cycles?
Please tell me how to take zoom in or out when taking photose and videose
Thanks for the good reviews about osmo action , need an suggestion selecting memory card can I use 512 Gb scandisk extreme? Reply asap 👍🏻
That is a good question I’m not sure about that I have used a maximum of 256. Hopefully somebody will be able to answer your question, you can always fire off an email to DJ I support I’m sure they’ll be able to answer pretty quickly for you. I’d be pretty curious of the answer myself
No.. it only supports upto 256 GB
Does it support facebook live using osmo action cam?
Not yet that may come later on with a firmware update
Have you had any condensation on your front screen? I’ve heard some have seen this.
Chuck Ostrom I’ve just got back from Vanuatu and had not issues with fogging. I did get a waterproof case and that did get wet inside and the case did fog.....but not the lens cap.
Amazing job. Thanks for share this content.
Just bought one. Your tips are very helpful, thanks!
Thank you I’m glad you found it helpful
How did you end up getting your lens cap off? I've been at an impasse thus far; not wanting to break it somehow.
vothry I used rubber dishwashing gloves to get it off... They worked!
Good tip thanks for sharing
The polar pro cinematographic 10 pack is that the vivid 5 pack kit and the shutter 5 pack kit in one 10 pack or are the vivid 5 pack the shutter 5 pack and the cinematographic 10 pack different
Yes basically it is both of the shutter and vivid pack combined. Saves a few bucks buying it as one kit
Useful video ... Thank you wery wery much. good day to you
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it
good Video man. Thanks for the work!
Thank you so much for these tips. I just got mine today and your tips really helps! :)
This is a greta video thank you!
