Does this camera have a quick capture mode like gopro? For example while the camera is off you press the record button and the camera turns itself on and starts recording.
Cool video. But i have to ask , whilst vlogging on the streets of big cities with a action 4 should is it possible to add an external mic that records front and rear. For example when i flip the camera away from me or towards me then the sound still is even. What's your thoughts? Or should i just use the built in mic and fix in post? Thank you so much as always
Yes you can add the dji mic! In the usbc a great option! When you use them with the windschield. We use them in a festival and stil you can hear us speak
I just got a DJI Action 4 camera today. I downloaded the app and connected to my camera. The weird thing is that whenever it connects to camera, it automatically disconnects my IPhone 13 from my WiFi. It’s a pain to playback in the app. I had to switch on airplane mode to playback. Am I doing something wrong?
@ I never figured out a direct solution. I eventually ended up using an smartphone just for the camera app. That phone has no cell service so it seems to be working fine.
Thank you for this great video! Please share some tips regarding underwater settings, e.g. for recreational diving. For example, do you need any filters (below 5m), or is the automatic colour correction enough? I couldn‘t find any information on this issue for the Action Osmo 4. Thx.
Hi, unfortunately, I have not yet been able to test the Action 4 while diving but a filter certainly helps for better colors - even though DJI says they have made improvements here. Apart from that, I would basically shoot with 4K60 if it's not too dark. And I would reduce the sharpness a bit. Best!
Hi, I bought OA4. I ride a quad bike, mainly on gravel roads - open areas with a lot of light and forests with a lot of trees. The camera position is at the chin of the helmet, it sees the route + handlebars, counter, etc. I'm looking for the best possible settings for myself, do you think yours will be good for me? Lots of analogies, only the speed at which I'm driving will be different, maybe you can give me some advice :)
@@MountMediaChannel Do you think 4k60 will be better for me? I was thinking about 4k24 / 4k30 but I didn't take into account 4k60 but maybe it's my mistake
i have been loving mine but i was thinking there are 3 main upgrades that would just making it amazing ( and id love to make these official suggestion, but not sure how to) but 1. Being able to separate the screen times when they go black, For example having the main/back screen go black after 10 minutes but the front screen go back after 5 etc, i know it great to have a front screen but would be good to have it go off quicker then the back or via versa. 2.(Maybe you can, but i googled it and nothing came up) But i wish you could name your custom settings, even if it still said C1, C2 etc it would be nice to have a name like Bike Riding, Vlogging, just so you remember what's what \ 3.Quick modes for Night and Day long exposure shots, Night painting and Waterfall shots etc, i know you can still do it manually, but just being able to quick switch into one like going into time lapse or something would be amazing
Well, the go 3 comes with the Flip Screen which is a great advantage when vlogging but the Action 4 delivers the better image quality so it really depends on what is more important for you.
Great vid, lots of useful tips, quick question. I shoot most of my vids 4K 30fps if I shoot occasional low light shots in 4k 24fps which timeline should I use when editing. 30 or 24fps.?
Where is the hidden mic on the bottom of the Action 4...and, if using a cage covers it, how will it work for wind suppression? Also, is the speaker on the top also a mic? Can you shed any info in the built in mic system? Thanks very much.
Nice review sir. I just want to check if there are some ways to Grab A High-Quality Still Photo From A Video using the new DJI OSMO Action 4. If so, can share some link or web site that i can visit. Thank you so much for your kind answer.
Hi sir, its me again. Ive been watching again your video for the 3rd time and i found it very useful and information as i am new to the DJI environment. What what to ask some few questions again. 1. Is there a live preview using mimo app in your phone is you are taking video? 2. What is the maximum preset that you can make and it is possible to rename the preset to your liking. 3. Hope you can share me some 1minute video that captured using dji osmo action 4 as i want to navigate the capabilities of dji mimo app. Thank you so much in advance and more power to your channel.
It sounds like this camera is really much better in many ways. Can you still get a case for maybe salt water? I’m thinking the rubber seals on it may not be waterproof after several months of use. I dont know if you have any ideas about salt water useage. I’m not a camera buff.
Yes there is an additional dive case - and yes of course - in the long run salt water will damage most materials - especially rubber. Even if a good cleaning after use avoids most damage.
when I transferred footage to edit them from the dji action 4 to my PC , when I play the video, it’s lagging and appears to be in slow motion. I’m not sure what the issue is-whether it’s a transfer problem, a compatibility issue with my PC, or something with the camera settings. Do you have any recommendations on how I could fix this? Is there an alternative method I should try for transferring files or playing the footage? I would really appreciate any advice or suggestions!
My GoPro Hero8 black side button is dying and I bought an OA4 instead (batteries are different for GoPro batteries from the 9 onwards anyway...). Super happy and CHEAP, got the full travel OA4 bundle kit for $300 AUD second hand but Minty :).
you can access the right side door (with USB-C) to charge or to connect to a PC - to open the left side door (battery & SD-Card) you have to remove the frame
But what if i cant download the app for the camera i ordert it today and i didnt know i need and app for it but I read that you don't need the app for it to work
there is one thing I noticed in all video comparisons available on youtube : dji action 4 vs gopro11.....dji 4 does something strange with clouds in the background...they are nearly always blurred comparing to the same shots with gopro11...please take a look at that problem....thank you
@@MountMediaChannel yes, for exampe your previous video 10 days ago 'DJI Action 4 vs Action 3' - at 7:41 ....nicely detailed clouds in gopro11 and blurred in dji....and that happens to every yotuber doing comparison gp11 vs dji4 ...check others....must be nice, rich, puffy clouds, and you will spot the difference
@@maciej1975 I took another look at the original footage - two things: GoPro uses a large amount of clarity - it simply artificially increases the contrast at the edges. You can see this very strongly in the clouds - but the original Action 4 shot doesn't look blurry at all - it's more about a difference in look and less about the details. On the other hand, a larger sensor has a shallower depth of field: in the distant background, the shot might then look a bit blurrier. Overall, though, I can assure you that the Action 4's image quality is excellent.

Got one from Gopro 10 to OA4 no regrit awesome no over heat and working well.,😍
I just ordered this and have a gopro 10 too
Clean and to the point explanation. This should be the official video for "how to action 4".
Thanks!
Which is better adventure combo and standard combo?
One of the greatest action 4 review! Very clear!
Great video. Quick and straight to the point explanation

Good video 😊 just got the dji osmo action 4 , what-settings do you recommend for smooth clear 4k street vlogging ?
I have GoPro 11 less than 4 months’ can I turn into dji action 4?
Will you recommend me ?
Yes

Yes, of course - Try 4K60 or 4K30 together with ultrawide (or wide if UW is too much for your taste)

How do you think the fov with Rocksteady compares to the hero 12 with hypersmooth on, both on the widest settings?
the fov on the Action 4 is much wider - you have to use the Max Lens Mod on the Hero12 for a similar fov
Hello sir
Which one you want to recommend Dji action 4 or Insta360 go 3 for vlogging ❤

Yes

Over the Hero 11 yes - there is a comparison on my channel - a comparison to the Hero 12 is coming soon

Will this camera record right-side-up even if it's upside down while recording? And does it do it automatically like the Gopro does?
Yes it does, tested this already.
Can you monitor audio with the mimo app live view and while recording by pluging headphone to the phone?
Does action 4 shoot raw in time-lapse
Thank you. I looked there 6 times and never saw it😀
Great Video!
what is the best settings manual for action 4 on low light that you use? Or did you just you the auto low light?
If you set it manually - use a low frame rate (24,25 fps) and set the shutter to 1/50
@@MountMediaChannel do i need to change anything else, like the ISO?

no
when narrow?

Is there a pc app for windows to remove the selfie stick as well? Also in 4k?
No, I think this only works in the mobile app (and in 1080)
thanks. this is something that DJI should update soon i hope @@MountMediaChannel
Helo, where i can download DJI memo app for update the firmware? Appreciated if you can give the link to download. Thanks

No

Any UHS I, v30 Card will be fine: Insta360 Cards or SanDisk Extreme (Pro)
