    Thanks for the amazing review mate. This and including the 2 low light tests you made maybe the best comparison so far between the two action cams. I finally decided and going to buy the OA4 now.

      Well, it's not so much a review, but more a comparison. I will review the Hero 12 by itself soon, as soon as I get some man hours filmed on it so I can talk from experience. Both are great choices, you'll be content.

    This is the DJI Osmo Action 4 versus GoPro Hero 12 reviews channel that just keeps on giving! I watched each one since the unboxing of the GoPro DOA (intentionally disabled by firmware design of course) product that you bought in a back-alley somewhere, appreciate them all, but this bike one in the series is my fav. I am a fulltime car-free cyclist, have been for about 15 years, by choice, and I'm looking forward to mounting an Osmo Action 4 on my handlebar sometime soon. It'll be my first action cam and I see I can't go wrong with the DJI product. Thanks for your no-nonsense productions.

    this confirms and reaffirms again and again.
    Honda and Toyota, bot have their pros/cons.
    One thing I noticed here is the DJI distortion is 'worse', it makes your head look like pinhead in WIDE mode. even std (dewwarp) has it to a degree.
    on a different rant... yesterday I was filming in tandem in 90F for 1.5 hours.... guess which one OVERHEATED killing 20 minutes of video and which one didn't...cough cough.

    • @PhillipSkraba
      @PhillipSkraba  Рік тому

      Yeah, the distortion on both of them can be a little crazy. Let's hope both these companies continue to improve battery life and overheating problems. There is so much power in such a tiny box, it's not surprising they can overheat, much like the ZV-E1.

  • @KayakFishingAddict

    I’ve been watching the comparative and honestly I still can’t decided witch one I can buy… Just one question, if you crop the original 8x7 image to a vertical 9x16 did you still get a wider image then the action 4? Because apparently and 16x9 the Osmo look a little bit more wider but doesn’t have a 8x7 aspect option. That’s the only think holding me to buy a new camera. Thank you it would be nice if you can make the comparative in the next vide. New subscriber by the way.😊

    • @PhillipSkraba
      @PhillipSkraba  Рік тому +1

      Well, in actual fact the cropped 8:7 is even wider if you just film it by turning the camera sideways so it's vertical, so I'd recommend that if you can do that. In camera vertical crop is narrower than turning the camera sideways basically. Not only does the Osmo look wider, but it's also got a lot less distortion, something some people don't like on the Hero 12.

    Everything seems great about the Osmo 4, except how it looks. The footage just doesn't look that great. It looks about on par with my GoPro 9 (which I do still like). It's like they did everything right but forgot to make the image great. I don't know if that really matters as if making for UA-cam it's maybe irrelevant anyway as most don't watch in ideal environments and conditions etc

    Considering the Gopro is running at 5.3k, I think the DJI overall is the better performer. The only difference I can see is a fraction more detail in the higher resolution. Can't see a difference in stabilisation, prefer the more natural colours of the DJI and... consider this.. without HDR running the Gopro quality takes a dive. I'll be sticking with my Action 3 for the time being tho, neither of these offer anything worth upgrading for.

    SO the go pro 12 is the go pro 11, but i do wonder if the HDR is just software driven, or there is some adapted hardware. I think every one is assuming its exactly the same sensor in the 12 as the 11. because of no change in size. It could be the same except the next gen version. which might explain the HDR. In fairness to go pro i have to say the HDR levels out the playing field. If DJI have noticed this and it is software driven, i wonder might we see an update to the DJI firmware adding in HDR to the Action 4. I think that would push DJI well out in front again.
    Notice a bit of lens flare as you were riding between the trees as the sun came through. more noticeable on the Gopro. But for me i think the Action 4 is still out in front, because of battery life and over heating issues. because it will be used to video what i am making, its likely to run for a while and the video will get cut and edited.
    As for people saying but the go pro has 5.3k res, you know what i am sitting here watching you videos on a lap top, with a 1900 x 1080 screen as most likely many people are.
    Thanks for another interesting video

    • @PhillipSkraba

      Well, DJI removed hdr in the Action 4, but surely it could be added back in with a software update, but yeah, the GoPro levels it with its hdr feature.

    On the Hero12 Black, do you think you could achieve the same result as using HDR by shooting 10 bit Flat color profile (or GPLog) and then color grading the footage? I wonder if HDR is just doing it all for you automatically (therefore making it much faster and simpler) or if it's really providing you with data that you can't get otherwise.

    • @PhillipSkraba
      @PhillipSkraba  Рік тому +1

      Well, hdr is basically from what I understand in the GoPro using the double exposure method with a variation in iso, so whilst you may get close in GP-Log you won’t get exactly the same look, and in all honesty that’s good as I personally prefer the natural look of Log footage.
