    key information: Action 4 is good, but due to the fact Action 5 is coming out, the vloger doesn't recommend action 4 anymore. I can't believe it, how people is wasting other's time by making a video like this.

    • @photorabz
      @photorabz  5 місяців тому +6

      Because if you buy action 4 now you will pay full amount. But if you wait few weeks you pay same amount normally for action 5.. or you get action 4 for cheap price. Can't believe can get a conclusion without listening to what was said. Weird world we are living in

    I disagree, the Action 4 is a superb camera and with the Action 5 it will only get cheaper on the DJI refreshed site - so if you want a solid camera BUY the Action 4, if you want the latest thing go buy the Action 5 (when it finally ships)

    • @photorabz

    Besides the Action 5 having better battery life and Better Low light (subjective) the Action 4 looks to be the better option even if you don't own either. I love my Action 4 and if I didn't have either from the videos I'm seeing, getting the Action 4 at a discount or official refurb option (Like I Did) from DJI is the way to go IMO

  • @RS.Outdoors

    Weird thing with the Action 4 and also the Action 3 I own is that the top left corner is always slightly out of focus. It's the same on both cameras and no idea why that is the case. That it might be stabilisation but either stable on or off it is the same. Watch footage of the original Action 4 reviews and depending what's in the image you will see it is out of focus only in the top left corner.

    You need to learn how to make a critical video. You keep saying how good this camera is multiple times, each time saying you don't recommend it *without explanation.* I was tired of hearing that crap. Learn how proper videos are made. 👎 And don't complain *TO ME* because I am critical of you --- I explained WHY which you never did.

    • @photorabz

      Thx for the comment. In this video I said many times why I don't recommend the OA4. You need to learn to listen to what is being said before losing time on writing a comment like this. I highly recommend you when you watch a video or listen to something to be concentrated more that would be very helpful for you and you can keep the time you use for such comments to make something more useful for you.

    I'm still using the Action 3. I personally don't like the DJI Mic 2. I think it's so damn bit and it flops around on your shirt. I like the Hollyland Mark M2 because it's so tiny. For that one you need an adapter, so that why I don't care to upgrade to the Action 4.

  • @disco.jellyfish
    @disco.jellyfish 5 місяців тому +1

    So basically its the most reasonable action cam you can buy right now, since even the newest GoPro Hero 13 Black cannot compete, because it still consistently overheats rather quickly just like the previos 4 generations. The Insta360 Ace Pro is technically a slightly better camera but has the flumbsy flip screen, which is great for filming around and vlogging but definitely increases cost unnecessarily and reduces durability. The Osmo Action 4 creates great videos, while being cheap, very compact and very light, which is very important for an action cam.
    It doesnt really matter as much, if you accidentally destroy one because its cheap to replace, its best for flying on fpv drones because its light and again cheap to replace and it still excels in not as perfectly lit scenarios, which are often also scenarios action cameras make sense in.
    I'd probably even buy 2 Osmo Actions at a slightly higher price even if I wanted to buy a more expensive action camera like the GoPro or even Insta. But If you get an Insta360 you could go all the way for the 360° camera X4 instead. Both the GoPro and Insta360 Ace Pro are in a weird spot.
    "Dont buy it" refers to the fact, that the Osmo Action 5 is just around the corner.

    • @photorabz
      @photorabz  5 місяців тому +1

      Leaked images aren"t true in my opinion because
      1) dji announced dji action 5 pro while on the leaked we see action 5 and action 5 pro
      2)And they seem to be more likely to be ai work. Look at the edges of the lens for example (remember last year GoPro leaked 1 inch sensor?)
      3) dji has used different color for every action camera, why they would use the same color for the action 4?

      not every UA-cam video should be cinematic and not every UA-cam video is aimed to win a film award.
      In this video it is just a man walking and sharing his thoughts that are so helpful for lots of people.
