    a great survey in real outdoor conditions, which proves a great and innovative camera, especially when you compare it with the gopro 12 which just comes out now and is just a minor update to the gopro 11, and so , a great deception.. DJI definitely steals the show. I had 5 or 6 gopros before, but now I am switching to DJI

    Hi Jake, greetings from Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 loved your review as I’ve just purchased the action4.
    Couple questions
    1.. what sharpness & noise levels are you using as the quality looks great
    2.. when shooting in 4K 60fps the front screen goes blank and says doesn’t support this.
    Is this correct or do I to adjust something.
    Look forward to hearing from you.
    Regards
    Frank

    • @JakeSloan
      @JakeSloan  9 місяців тому

      I turn the sharpness down to -2 (and then sharpen a little bit in post) and noise reduction down to -1. in 4k60 the front and rear screens will go dark due to the processing requirements. It cannot show a live display and record higher than 4k30 at the same time. it would cause too much heat build up

    Great video Jake, thanks for posting. When I mount my DJI wireless mic receiver where the screen points forward, same direction as the camera is pointing, it interferes with the video recording. Happens even in dewarp. Not a big deal, I just have to turn the receiver backwards. Do you notice the same?

    • @JakeSloan

    This title is true maybe until after Sept. 15 when the Hero 12 is announced???
    If gopro will unleash a 1in sensor camera and fix the issues gopro is being criticized for then it might be a great cam. Too bad Sony missed out on that opportunity when they had the Sony RX0 II with 1in sensor but terrible stabilization and they didn't want to market it as an 'action cam'.
    I have hero 8 for a long time and now added the Action 3 i love them both, though. DJI could have added significant changes to blow out gopro but just did incremental ones.

      Besides that, DJIs exposure is wrong, clipping in highlights and lack of detail in footage. Yes it is better in the dark but in the light the parts are reversed. Anyway DJI has anticipated the release but the GoPro is supposed to have the one inch sensor, so I for one will wait and see.
