Great video! I bought an Action 3 last year and I use it only for travel so I don't use it very often (maybe 2x a year). Videos like these are great for reminding me how these cameras work. Going to Australia in 2 weeks and I need to remember the 'how-to' on this camera. Thanks!
Thank you Simon for this. I've been viewing tutorials on the DJI 3 camera. Yours is clearly the best. I've been watching your tutorials for years, specifically for filmic pro which i will be dumping. Great job on this thorough video. Your style is unique.
i owned, the DJI action 1, and loved it. I like doing video on action cameras and stills on iphones or samsungs. I found when I owned a Canon G7x Mk2 it was prone to dust inside it, even when I was very careful
Love the Video . Yes agree the DJI action 3 is the best. Was loyal goPro user had 7-8-9-10-11 and several of each cameras. Ran in to purchasing problem with company store worked for months trying to get it fixed no luck was loyal customer. Moved to DJI 100% fantastic customer service and DJI action 3 so much better than the GoPro 11. Will be ready to order DJI osmo action 4!
Brilliant stuff! Bought myself one at a runout price due to the 4 being released. Trying my hand at Motovlogging, I'm a massive technophobe so this was a great primer. I'm off on a 12 day ride thru the high country of Victoria (Australia) so I'll see what results I can achieve!
Great informative video and will be watching your videos from now on. I recently got myself a Action 3 and really am a virgin when it comes to settings and what i should be using for certain conditions. Im going to Switzerland in a couple of months and really want to capture some great footage. Could you please advise me on what basic settings i need to use so i dont mess things up. Id like to get some slow motion scenes too,so would you recommend using the slow motion feature on the camera itself or shoot in another setting and slowing down in editing. To be honest it seems quite daunting to me ,so i need help in a easy standard setting i can go to quickly.Hope you can help. Graham.
Just found your channel. I appreciate the quality of information shared and your calming communication style. Subscribed. Looking forward to find out more about your channel. All the best.
Day before yesterday I bought DJI osmo Action 3 and I was worried about Tutorial etc. You one video helped me a lot. I have one question about charging batteries, can I charge 1 or 2 batteries in box but not 3 at one time or can I charge 1 battery in box?
good tutorial video.. what is the best settings to record during motorcycle ride? How can i make the recording in short clips? such as 1 minute or keep file size within certain limits?
Excellent video tutorial, I would like to see some landscape video shots to compare with other cameras. Thank you very much Simon. Adolf from Argentina
Hello, thank you for the video. I have a question, If the purpose is to post 1080p videos, is it better to capture in 4K, 2.7K or 1080P ? Thank you Simon
Really helpful video, for me the DJI was almost a foregone conclusion, I have had several GoPro Cameras but they are very clunky and if something goes wrong then support can be non existent as I have found out on two occasions. One question ..... do you have any recommendations for a gimbal for the Camera, I have had a look on Aliexpress but they seem to be minimally compatible with the DJI and more towards the GoPro. Any advice would be appreciated
Hello Simon, I have just watched your fantastic video on this camera. I have been using my IPhone 6s Plus to record all my UA-cam content, but the camera has just started the 'death wobble'. I am looking for a super simple, almost 'point and go' like my IPhone camera to keep making my videos. All I need to do is record myself working on my bench and talking to camera at my table. I use a Blue Yeti mic when I'm talking to camera at my table. would this camera be as good (or better) than my now dead IPhone 6? This maybe more camera than need, but the prices all seem to start for £240 anyway. Any help would be fantastic from you, thank you 🙂
I am planning to buy a second-hand Dji Osmo Action 3 Adventure Combo tomorrow. Any tips on how to check or inspect it? This would be my first camera. The owner is selling it for PHP 16,000. The current brand-new price is PHP 23,190 here in the Philippines. Thank you!
Do all the tips you share in THIS video the same for the DJI Action 4? I REALLY like all your tips and instructions in this video however, I just ordered an Action 4. I've NEVER used an Action camera in my life.
@@SiHorrocks than you for the answer Simon. That's really not an issue for me.. the only thing I'm curious is how it compares to GoPro 11 with the max lens and horizon lock since I have one but I'm considering the action 3 because my GoPro's are simply not reliable and I use them professionally.. Would love to see how the image cropping and quality compares since in reliability it's a hands down win to DJI from all the reviews I saw.. What's your read on that?
Thank you for this video, it's really helpful and professional!! I have one small question, is it possible to power this camera with an external power source? I want to record continuous shots for longer than 160 minutes
Yes, via USB-C port. You can use powerbank, any DJI battery charging case or even wall charger. The only issue is overheating while charging and continuously record in 4K in warm ambient temps. Works no issue for me in lower resolutions and hyper/timelapse.
Hello Sir ,Need your help , today I bought dji osmo action 3 when I transfer my videos to MacBook Air old or I phone 14 video is not streaming well. Sometimes it is too slow or lagging in between, playing like frame to frame kind of, but same video when I uploaded on UA-cam, works fine. Do know the problem or should I replace my gadget.
Have you found any close focusing issues on the Action 3 while vlogging? Ive heard others mention this and the solution is a +1 close focusing filter from Vivitar etc, is there a way a filter adaptor can be fitter to the Action 3 for Glimmer Glass/Black Mist or +1 filters?
I have a problem. Using dji osmo action 3 recording in HDR setting. Then when i upload, later i check the setting after upload on youtube all i get 4k 2160p view, not HDR. It does not recognise HDR . Why is this anyone help? Thanks
I cant change to 264, this camera is giving me alot of headace. Can i edit the file on the app on android and change the codec so i can play it on windows media playes etc?
Nice Video! I just bought a Action 3, and it is a great thing. But specs tell me that I can use SD card up to 256Gb? But my old GoPro 7 can use both 512Gb and 1Tb cards. As far as I know, there is no limit in the file system at 256Gb? SDXC cards upper limit is 2Tb. Anybody know the reason for the 256Gb limit on the Action 3?
You underplay the mimo app not being in the appstores anymore. That is actually a huge red flag. They are doing something seriously fishy not to be allowed on the stores.
this is 320 dollar right now consider matching it along side my g7xii also this is the video for people who dont like being shouted at by a over zelious "yootubber"
Step 1. Buy camera step 2. Realise focus is fugged. 3 See DJI try and address a hardware problem with a software fix to sharpen the picture. 4. Send camera back for refund. 5. Really liked this camera but they have multiple cases of focus problems in hardware. 6. Don’t buy an action 3 until they address this glaring issue
@@MarkLeBlanc 🤦♂️I bought mine THREE weeks ago. What’s the date of manufacturing on your box? Mine was September 2022. I guess some idiots get lucky and some don’t.
Excellent tutorial. Covers just about every camera mode. I now know why my museum video had motion blur and how to correct this with the EIS mode. Thank you sir.
@@Life_of_John tbh it was cost, approx £100 more expensive for the 4. But I did watch a review that said there was not much of a difference between the 2 models, they both had the ability that I was looking for and the 3 was just in budget 👌😄📷

1st time viewer of Simon. Wow, that is how to make a clear tutorial video. Excellent work.
thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you! just got this camera and your video helped me a lot
Terrific, Simon! You explain this camera like no one else. Thank you.

This is a perfect tutorial. I was considering buying this camera to replace my GoPro 7 Silver. No more hesitation.
Your sound quality is next level

5:53 that looks my messy LTN converted hood! I'm N17 though, this looks Dalstonesque
turnpike lane 🤓
Thought it looked familiar! @@SiHorrocks
There is actually horizon steady which stabalizes 360 degrees horizon, but I think it gotta be 2.7k or lower

Can you use action cameras for moviemaking? i mean like indiemovie with friends etc

Great video, new sub. Bought a d j i action 3 today
how do i set it up to record clips where when the memory card is filled up, it overwrites the oldest. i am going to be using it on my bicycle
Does DJI action have a pause function while recording videos? Zoom in zoom out?
I am planning to buy a second-hand Dji Osmo Action 3 Adventure Combo tomorrow. Any tips on how to check or inspect it? This would be my first camera.

Thanks for this perfect review! 🤩 I have a question that I know for many is not important. Can this camera record inside the video the time and date?
Thank you for the video Simon ;) I thought the Action 3 Horizon steady had that feature of rotating 360 and still keeping the image steady..
I think it does actually, but limited to 2.7K resolution
@@SiHorrocks than you for the answer Simon.

What's your read on that?
I love my action 3. Love everything about it. Even the sounds. I hate the gopro and the sounds and just the useability of a go pro.
Can you make vídeos and recharge at same time?

Can you zoom while recording? Is the top level 3x now?

Once you get the little door over the USB port off, how do you get it back on? I wish you had explained attaching the DJI sound module.
On the search line type in (How to remove and reattaching USB 3 door on DJI Osmo)
10:18 Question: Does GoPro also crops the video if horizon mode is applied?
I have an Osmo Action 1, and now the version 3. They are fab but my Samsung A12 just doesn't want to work with the camera. Any suggestions?
Thank you
If I hit pro and it turns yellow I can't do anything with the FOV. How do I put it in linar mode like I can with the first osmo action?
my god amazing video
Have you found any close focusing issues on the Action 3 while vlogging?
Ive heard others mention this and the solution is a +1 close focusing filter from Vivitar etc, is there a way a filter adaptor can be fitter to the Action 3 for Glimmer Glass/Black Mist or +1 filters?

great camera but good luck getting the doors for it if u lose it, can't buy it anywhere
I cant change to 264, this camera is giving me alot of headace.
Can i edit the file on the app on android and change the codec so i can play it on windows media playes etc?
Does DJI action 3 have pre recording as in DJI action 4?
Nice Video! I just bought a Action 3, and it is a great thing. But specs tell me that I can use SD card up to 256Gb? But my old GoPro 7 can use both 512Gb and 1Tb cards.

Merci pour la video.
Y a t-il une fonction de zoom sur cette camera ?
----
Thanks for the video.
Is there a zoom function on this camera?
yes
Comment s'en servir ?
How do you use it?
Hi
Do i need to use waterproof case for shooting in raining condition ?
its waterproof to 16m depth underwater
What post edit software would you recommend on windows ? For the DJI, also do you have any grading profile ? :)
you can try CapCut and DaVinci Resolve for free
Any opinions!! Would you sell the GoPro 10 to buy this?
Yes
Would sell gopro 11
You underplay the mimo app not being in the appstores anymore. That is actually a huge red flag. They are doing something seriously fishy not to be allowed on the stores.
My action screen turned off while recording what am I doing wrong ? Is it on my setting
Yes maybe u set it, like after a minute the screen turned off automatically but its not a problem it saves from over heating and battery draining
@@DavidAdlawan_ can you tell me how to get into that settings ? just bought mine yesterday 😅
Oddly enough I am taking one of these to europe for a while on my bike EUROPEAN divide Trail route . Or part of it.
fun little cameras
