What a game changer that camera is. Love the slo-mo bits! Makes it a lot easier to see what you’re seeing when you line up a shot.
Stoked on it!
SUPERIOR WORK Aaron!!! Great shots (camera & speargun) This is a definite upgrade. That shoal of Mangroves was fantastic.
🙏
Really appreciate the honest and down to earth review minus all the tech speak. I've been considering alternatives to GoPro and this just rose to the top of the list.
This camera will be incredible for your fish identification video!! The colors of the fish were spot on, and seeing a more accurate image of what the coral/fish look like through this camera is game changing! Great review, can’t wait to see more videos filmed with this camera!
Unfortunately already have all the footage saved for that video just have to edit it! But def a game changers for future episodes!
Another vote for a fish ID video!
I’m so excited to see your videos done by your new camera! The details are amazing!
me too!
Wow!!! This cam is a game changer for diving vids. Thanks for making the review!
stoked on it!
The colours are astounding! And the shots are crisp. The slowmo 4k120 shot in the hole is super impressive - I think my GoPro 10 would be very grainy/muddy or too dark with the same settings. I was also surprised with how the torch light weren't blowing out the shot. Great review. I.m.o. if the next gen GoPro does not come out with an even bigger sensor they are toast.
after a certain point I think the bigger sensors could become cumbersome, but we shall see. super stoked with it so far!
I love DJI, been waiting for this to drop and you just solidified my decision to buy it! Great review, great action camera.
been stoked on it! love to hear it
Wow, Aaron 😮 the colors under the sea are unreal! Looking forward to seeing what’s next🙌🏻📷✨
me too!
The camera is actually insane, you should do more of those slo-mo shots they help me see what your actually shooting at and when your shooting it.
Will def be using it more!
Absolutely amazing features. Thanks for sharing.
happy to!
Holy wow bubba. This camera is the future not only for you to continue to impressive us but for any outdoors man for any task. This video was so crisp they should use some of your shots if not the whole video for there commercials. Jeez dude. I’m blown away and excited for you.
stoked on it!
I personally believe all your videos are amazing, it’s always cool to see new things too…..
🙏
The colors are a game changer!
Also, we need more Tipsy action😍
they really are! and I'll bring her along more!
I’m sold. Just the amount of sharpness increase ,let alone the increase of reds ,pulled me in.
I'm very impressed with it!
Wow! Those views with that camera is amazing!!
right! love it!
you definitely have some of the best spearfishing channels in the world👌🏻
really love to hear it!
I used to make YT videos as a Motovlogger and always used the GoPro Hero 2, I still have it but haven't turned it on in years. Well we went out to Sands Key which is south of Clearwater beach the other day and we were out in knee deep water and there were schools of what I believe were snook swimming around us, then a Manatee swam right behind me and lastly a dolphin swimming in and amongst all the people in the water(I believe it was feeding time). I told me wife that I wanted to get a good GoPro so I started doing some research on the GP Hero 11. Then I started seeing videos comparing that camera to this DJI Osmo Action 4, I had no idea they had a camera that competes with the GoPro. I own a DJI Mini Drone so I am already a fan of DJI just for their drones. Anyway, long story short I ordered the Action 4 today along with the floating grip as most of what we will use it for is in the water. I'm excited to get it and start using it again, maybe it will spark some motivation to get back into the YT thing. Thanks for your honest review on this camera sir.
thats awesome! yea they've really stepped their game up with the action cameras, the drones have always been the best bar none.
My mannnn. I've been waiting for someone to use this underwater finally got to see it. Thank you. I've been researching this action cam and now that research is complete because of your vid. I'll be gettin this over 11 black
🙏🏻
@@KeyWestWaterman got mine tahhhday 🍻🍻🍻. Now I can use if freediving 👊
This is awsome I will be definitely getting one soon and thank you for this video.
🙏🏻
Good work dude. Nice to see your quality efforts paying off 🤙
🙏
DJI has some quality products. Love their drones. I've been using GoPro 9's and 11's. I've had issues with overheating. I might have to give DJI a try. Those slo-mo shots are incredible! Great review Aaron.
Totally agree. Love this camera so far!
overheating and the battery life makes me really want to try DJI action camera coming from gopro. I have the drone and love it
Wow - that’s a serious game-changer! The color is awesome, as is the motion stabilizer!!
It really is!
Aaron, that was very informative video and that camera really has some great footage Thank you .
🙏
Im really glad that a smart photo top tech bless your hard work. The images are amazing and Im sure James and Lisa are a part of of your growth. as photographer. Please, keep this on. Its really cool. :)))
thank you!
Super sick! Excited to see more!
More to come!
Wow Aaron!!!Finally some couloors😀That's a huge improovmant from the other camera. We can now see what you see and that's what I've been missing from your earlier videos. I may have to byu this camera to a diving friend of mine 😀
haha stoked about it!
Beautiful colors really sharp and clear footage…
very happy with them!
I have a DJI drone and love it, customer service can be lacking at times, great equipment though. Best wishes with the new setup and look forward to your upcoming content with the camera!
i've actually had great customer service from them in the past, but really stoked on their equipment as always.
Watch your videos all the time! That camera did a great job and the colors were very vivid, bright and everything was clear. The action rock steady feature was awesome! That horizon lock was very cool too! Mounting system was great design not having to mess with hardware!
great little camera for sure!
Live down 50 off Sisson Rd and know some of your family. Fished many tournaments with Harley and Puger. Lived in Titusville, Mims area all my life!
That decided that, DJI ftw! We’ll be picking one up for our FL spring trips and dives! Brevard Co checking in
love to hear it!
Your videos are looking Awesome here lately!
theres a reason why!
You should do another review in 6 moths to a year and evaluate longevity. I would love to see a side by side split screen comparison between the Osmo and the Gopro. Should be easy to mount them both on one bracket. GoPro has been really good to me with their customer service. Somehow I now own 4 of them. Mostly that's because they end up leaking after a year or two and I just buy a new one when I run into issues. Seems like the Osmo addresses both my pet peeves about the Gopro: limited depth and short battery life. The white long lasting batteries from Gopro apparently are a lot better but I haven't tried one yet.
I will def check back in! so far stoked with it. but we will see!
Glad you made this video, this is the test that I'm looking for
hope there is more video shot using the DJI 4,
perhaps comparing with DJI 3 and or Go Pro will be incredible
will be my dive camera from now on!
Your videos are always super colorful, thanks for sharing
I thought so!
@@KeyWestWaterman when you post me and my husband are so happy , tv is sh@# so UA-cam it is for our downtime . You guys are great , thanks
Fantastic content. I really enjoy all of your content. Keep up the great work.
Thanks, will do!
I agree, I am impressed with this camera and the fact that it's on auto?
Amazing.
couldn't believe it!
Those slow mos are soooo sick!! If you ever came up w/ an intro vid before each video, something like that would be soooo cool! The colors look awesome!
right! I was blown away and thats a good idea!
@@KeyWestWaterman I’ve always used GoPros for my motorcycle riding footage but holy crab the footage would look amazing with that camera!
I am loving that gheenoe dude you are living the dream out there
im tryin!
Aaron, great review! I’ve been shooting underwater footage since the dare I say the 70’s . Started with a Ikelite housing and a Kodak super 8 camera. Also bought the first film go pro camera, Relics compared to this new DJI. Looking forward to more true color content from this camera. Also liked seeing the four legged Capt on the boat. Capt Doug
thats a heck of a track record! def looking forward to it!
I was very impressed with the color rendition on this new camera. I don't film much underwater yet a porkfish grunt looks like a porkfish grunt and everything else looks as it should underwater. Should be more beautiful footage to come!
I was sold at 5:15 into video! Great job!
you should have seen me pull these up on the computer for the first time! 😂 giggling like a 15 year old girl!
What! That Is Awesome, Great Camera, Great Pictures Good Fortune With the New Camera!
stoked about it!
Pretty impressive camera you got there! And I agree with you (including myself) the vast majority of people would just use the auto setting. I’d say you definitely upped your game!
can't wait to see what else we capture with it!
That is amazing looks really good
stoked on it!
Wow! So pristine and crisp those shots! For 400 bucks that's not bad
really isn't at all
I was to busy looking at the mangroves. Holy mackerel! That’s what I think heaven will look like. Fun vid!
haha I wont argue that
Great info.. New to channel...First time i have watched someone review a camera for what i use them for... cheers!
welcome to the channel and love to hear it!
Excellent review. Cheers
I do like that feature when your diving that the color stands out true without buying filters for diving. I’ll be waiting to see how it does when u adjust the settings. I might just forget about the go pro that I have and switch
yea I'm excited to tinker with it a little, after seeing how it did in auto I may not have to but we will see!
Colors are super good compared to what you have been filming with. Clarity seems better as well. Beautiful job!
stoked with it!
Great video as always Aaron! You are an inspiration to me and many out there I believe.
I’m a subscriber from an island called Bahrain. I spearfish a lot here and compare my experiences catching mangrove snappers and groupers.
When are you going to review your repower of your new 225 engines?
Please make one as we have been waiting for a video of your derigging and rigging experience, what fuel consumption, cruise and max speeds, time to plane from hole shot you are getting now.
I always can’t wait for your next video, keep on keepin on brother and I hope to visit and get a charter out with you some time soon.
I have heard of it! but have never visited! and I hope to get to it soon, been very very busy lately. haven't had time to test props with the new motors yet but I will!
Your videos are all awesome bro!!!
Glad you like them!
I think its great that your last video about cameras was comparing the Gopro 11 and the DJI 3 and you didn't seem to think, to me anyway to feel that either camera hit the mark for you. My take away was the color was better on the 11 but you hated the red fade at the surface and how you had to work a little harder to get what you wanted out of the Gopro, the DJI 3 was easier to use but not giving you the colors you wanted. It Seems DJI came through with the 4 and hit the mark. I don't know if you notice but that 5:34 when you broke the water, the Osmo did the red fade but WAY faster. It seems like they are doing what Gopro did just better. I will say that I really appreciate the use of slow mo with a proper frame rate, It looks really good and I hope you use more of it. Also, that frame rate in the darker water when you shot the grouper was very impressive. Looks like DJI knocked it out of the park with this one.
yea I have been thrilled with it so far, the low light shooting. the colors at depth, they really stepped it up with this one. and that white balance correction on the surface was extremely noticeable. it corrects so quickly compared to the 11. they did a bang up job on this one.
I have only just now read this about
the osmo action 4 when scuba
diving."When diving below 16 meters
with the Osmo Action 4 and the Scuba
Diving mode activates due to pressure,
the usual shutter/record button is
disabled. In this case, you'll use the
Quick Switch (QS) button to start
and stop recording. The QS button is
designed to work under high-pressure
conditions, allowing you to control
recording without relying on the
shutter/record button. So, even deep
underwater, the QS button becomes
your main control for starting and
stopping video recording".So this
button becomes a universal button
to power on, select video or photo,
then take a picture or start shooting a
video. I checked the DJI manual and it
doesnt clearly say how this is achieved.
I checked with dji support and they said you need to decide wether you will be taking photos or videos past 16 meters before the pressure cutoff kicks in.Then you can only use the camera as a start and stop. You cant play back videos on a dive or scroll to other presets to bracket different fstops and iso settings etc.
Still going strong man. Note to self, get back into watching your content.
Onwards and upwards 😍
🙏
If you're interested in the Osmo Action 4 here is a direct link to order online, as always thanks so much for watching! Using this link gives me a small kick back and is much appreciated! 🙏 click.dji.com/AEl4_HpLrn7nkX5aXLtN5Q?ch=launch-action4&pm=custom
430 is awesome
Nice infomercial between the commercial advertising... After banning free speech to protect Bolshevik interests, UA-cam has become a "ghetto" of useless and unwanted babble serving their money god!
@keywestwateman what mask do you use with it?
I've been diving and skiing with my GoPro Hero 3 for years, thinking it was "good enough" Boy, does that ever convince me it's time to upgrade. I was fixing video in post-production, but with that, you practically never have to. I noticed how it added red as you submerged, then reduced it as you got to the surface much faster than your previous camera. Everything would look pink for a few seconds until the camera adjusted back. This one was very quick. Very impressed. 👍
yea the quickness in that color correction is huge! I hate that lingering red look at the surface for too long but it does a great job, def looking forward to putting it to work more.
Can u use a gpro mask? If not, what do we do.
This is q game changer.
Yahoooo
That camera is a game changer 💪🏻💪🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
it really is!
Great camera for sure, thanks ..
It really is!
Im actually really excited about this camera. As someone who isnt invested in Gopro I have to choose between the two and lately all Im hearing in videos I watch is how frustrated people are with their Gopro's. The price seems pretty decent too.
Couldn’t agree more!
Wow! Loved your feedback! (Found you from Reddit)
love to hear it!
Wow, now that’s impressive 🤙
Indeed!
Such an awesome vid. I’ve been on the edge of what new camera to get because my GoPro is constantly giving me issues. Thank you so much for sharing your opinion.
Also it would be awesome if you could do a video on your opinion of all the bleaching happening to all the corals. I know this year is El Niño which is supposed to one of the hottest years and it’s just insane how hot it is. I didn’t even wear a wet suit this year while I was in the keys and I only noticed one set of coral head bleaching which was south side by the marquesas.
love to hear it! and actually filmed some coral bleaching stuff today.
That camera looks awesome, been planning on picking up a second camera. Seems like this one may be the one I go with.
I've been pretty happy with it, will check back in
Great video Aaron! Wow. Love Tipsys demeanour she obviously loves the water. In 1 week, you’ve put it thru the ringer. The improvements to me are obvious but I think time will tell.
Will it last? My crystal ball just exploded.
God bless!!!
haha time will certainly tell! thank you!
Nice to see differnt underwater footage. Most footage have come across is shot, mainly, on GP
thanks for watching!
That was an awesome review
Glad you enjoyed it
A lot of people use that phrase game changer. I watch a lot of spearfishing vids and to me that slow mo of the hole shot truly was game changing. I don’t think I have seen a hole shot with that clarity and smoothness of the slowmo. I have a gopro 7 and I absolutely hate it. It did this battery drain thing about 10% of the time my battery would just die after being fully charged and I missed some whale shark footage one day from a shore dive! It just killed me. If i ever upgrade def be remembering this vid. I trust you more than any big camera reviewer.
couldn't agree more, this camera is in a class of its own! can't wait to see what else I can capture with it!
Good review. Camera looks good.
Thanks for watching
Those drive by’s with tipsy had me laughing pretty good 😂
haha I watched them like 400 times and laughed my ass off!
Great video. The thing that would get me to buy this camera is if it actually held the color deeper than the gopro which seems like it does. I usually hang around 40-60 feet deep, so if I don't got to go in and color correct every clip so it doesn't look just blue, then that would indeed be a game changer for me.
I have a video coming out tonight filmed completely with this camera so you can see more in depth. But it does an incredible job. Some of the same clips you saw in this vid as well.
Awesome footage!
Glad you enjoyed it
yeah that camera is sick
Stoked on it!
Nice work. Great info!
Glad it was helpful!
Definitely see a difference
It’s wild
good info video Dibs
Glad you enjoyed it
Subscribe due to this video. Thanks for making this video. I like to use my video camera for water activities. I was lucky that I bought the camera before see this video, but now I know Action 4 capabilities makes it even better.
Hey Aaron, another helpful video. Thanks. I'm considering a Gheenoe for lobstering, crabbing and light spearfishing. Could you make a video on how you enter and exit yours safely? I'm sure there must be some tricks and useful tips you can offer.
I just climb over the rail! but depends on what model you get, the smaller ones don't hold as much weight obviously. just check the specs on each. I'm a small guy 150 lbs. but both Madeleine and I can crawl in on the same side without issue.
will you make diving comparison with hero 11 ? amazing review :) and I love your diving movies because not many people test cam in real diving situations
It’s no comparison for me. It’s why I’m switching
Great video
glad you enjoyed it!
Cool camera!
indeed!
Cool camera. God bless.
🙏
Curious as to what you are using to attach it to your mask. I looked at the different combos and don’t see what you would use to attach the camera.
Just moved to Key West and am really impressed with the quality of your videos and the depth of your knowledge. Keep ‘em coming.
I showed in the video, it has a magnetic clip exclusive to DJI, or if I use the housing it attaches with a bolt just like a gopro.
Great review; can you give us an idea of what kind of depths your underwater footage was at?
deeper spots were about 50-60
Mr young. You are one of the most humble, calming, and honest content creators I’ve ever watched. May Jesus bless you and if you don’t know Him I pray for you and Maddy. Peace be with you ❤
🙏🏻
Made me want to leave my gopro in the closet. Cant wait to get one of these!!
haha
I was looking for some subtle pros and cons with side by side go pro comparison, but that turns out to be completely unnecessary. The difference is remarkable. I've stared at editing software for hours color grading and not come come to this. Amazing.
really blew my mind, I honestly haven't found any cons yet with this camera. but again only had it a week so we will see once I start using it more. been thrilled so far.
GAME CHANGER
It is. Stoked to see the footage i can get with it!
Hope they hook you up cause you deserve it. Thats a decent camera. What I like is more competition and no monopoly which has been the case.
yup!
Incredible work my guy! Nice job with the new video gear. Even greater videos for the future. Now how about some more spearing!!! For sake of the fans thrills!! Can't wait!!👍👍👍
haha more to come!
how is it for taking stills or grabbing stills from videos? Great review btw.
The Bob Ross of spear fishing.
😂
I immediately saw the difference.. Even with the filters I've used in the same type of water I never saw that degree of a depth of color like that.. Nice.. Can you give an idea the mask you use with the mount.. Have a heck of time finding a decent one.
yea its was night and day for me, and I shoot with a go mask panorama. the only mask I've found that does hit my forehead
Time stamp 5:35-40
Do you not have a dive flag?
Loved the new pictures...!
TNX 4 VID LOL
they forgot to put it up it seems, was about 80 miles from land and 20 miles to the nearest boat this day.
very nice review, the steady really works well. Maybe Clams can use it to film all those lobster next time... LOL
Micky C
😂
Aaron, you’re killing me bro. Bought a brand new Gopro in June and my only gripe is the frkn battery doesn’t last at all. Just tried to return it and the window closed. This is what I need with the battery life and depth Decisions decisions
ah crap! hate to hear that!
On another note I bought that electric fish scaler you tested. Two neighbors copied me. That tool is amazing and hilarious at the same time. Rooster tails of scales flying off my fish and they’re cleaned in seconds
Looks impressive. Thanks for the review and link. I don't recall you mentioning depth limit.
18 meters or 59 feet is great for snorkeling, but not diving. (watched again and you surely did!).
I'm sure they're working on an u/w case to compete with others though.
Any time!
So glad you made this video! I hate my GoPro Hero 8 Black because it has so many issues, but I looked at every other option on the market, and nothing seemed worth it. I was just about to upgrade to a Hero 11 this week, but thanks to this video, you made my choice a lot easier, and saved me some headaches and a bunch of money!
love to hear it! I'm thrilled with the colors, can't wait to dig a little deeper!
Same with my hero 7 black AND the hero 7 black of my gf, sooo many issues it's crazy
I said to myself never ever go pro again.
@@riderpsychopate I'm just glad that there's finally another option worth getting!
Video looks great! What are your opinions on the audio for that camera? Looking forward to trying something new.
still haven't even gotten that far, been mainly concerned with the underwater stuff
I love DJI cameras! Love your videos bud and of course it’s “ Mickey Mouse “ channel! Great video as always brother god bless!
haha appreciate it as always brother!
