    Thank you, good review, but there is one big inconsistency with the quality of the shooted image in this review. Your Gopro shots are with a resolution of 5.3K, compared to Action 4. The 5.3K image quality is different to 4K by Gopro. So it would be worth comparing the image with Gopro 4K vs Action 4. The Sharpness is much higher and the image look nearer to the action footage. I suggest to watch my comparisons for the differences. I personally prefer 5.3K image which Action 4 doesn't have - and this is the biggest advantage of the Gopro.
    And as you mentioned, Gopro has a lot of setting options, which action doesn't have.

    The Action 4 has HDR on all the time. I think a small EV boost will brighten it up to a satisfactory level. I've seen a few videos that shows HDR mode helps the night mode on the GoPro 12. The Action is still better, but it's a lot closer.

      @canyonblue737-8 8 місяців тому +1

      The Action 4 does NOT shoot in HDR or apply HDR techniques of any kind. What DJI says is this: "Videos recorded by Osmo Action 4 have a high dynamic range making an HDR mode unnecessary." ... basically what this means is "our sensor captures enough range in one shot we don't need to apply HDR techniques of capturing multiple ISO's and blending them together"... while it is likely true the sensor on the Action 4 does capture more dynamic range in a conventional video than a conventional video from the Hero 12... it is no substitute for HDR and it is disingenuous for DJI to claim it wouldn't offer their camera an improvement in image quality or for anyone to say "Action 4 has HDR on all the time" when it offers NO HDR at all.

    • @JustinPulitzerTrades
      @JustinPulitzerTrades 8 місяців тому

      @@canyonblue737-8 Yes, they baked the HDR into the video setting. It's not a separate mode anymore. It's very obvious when put head to head w/ the Action 3 in standard video mode. HDR tends to expose a bit darker.

    The overheating is really controversial and it's really bad. The Action 4 that I bought here in Japan lasted over an hour at 4K 60fps in a room temp of 25℃ as I was recording a video of me repairing electronics. definitely you guys in the EU has a problem with DJI action 4 overheating and I think you all need to voice it out to DJI

    Exceptional video, as always! You are so right regarding these two cameras, and it boils down to one small feature over another as to what one covets the most in making their videos. IMO, one really can't go wrong buying either the Action 4 or the GP12.

    After two weeks of watching all kinds of UA-cam “over hearing test” I opted for a minty used hero 9 and for the life of me I can’t get it to over heat. Battery dies or card gets full but never shuts down due to over heating. That’s indoors with no airflow only ac on at 75 using max bit rate, 5k and 4k at 30 fps. Hasn’t overheated outside during mountain biking either.

    So, I've had a GoPro since the 6th, and this week I bought the hero 12 at BestBuy, I put it to film in 5K, and in 20 minutes it heated up and turned off, really the GoPro has been a disappointment in recent years, the touch on the screen as Sometimes it doesn't respond, and now it overheats after 20 minutes on a 5k, I've already ordered my DJI osmo action 4 and I'm going to return this hero 12.

    you are missing out on so much stuff if you don't play around with the gopro labs firmware QR code possibilities, for example the EXPX=120 QR command allows you to limit the shutter speed to not go any slower than 1/120, different than just fixing the shutter speed at 1/120 at all time in the default settings, another one i like is the EXPS=1 QR command, it displays real time iso and shutter speed values on the LCD.

    I have two GP11 for travelling and capturing live music shows. I have not encoutered any overheating issues yet, but to be on the safe side I bought usb powered cooling fans to make air move around cameras in band stage enviroment. On loud stage fan noise is not an issue and I hardly ever use GP sound in those projects. Overall using these small sensor cameras with lesser quality optics have limitations, but small size, light weight and ease of use make them ideal for this use also.
    What comes to getting them with me around the globe, there is no better, or at least easier, cameras. In good lighting conditions and right settings picture quality is good enough. What I have learned is that watching videos here in UA-cam about getting the right settings really makes a difference in video quality you get out of these.
    As the result of the video shows, any of those cameras will do the job as action camera or travelling companion. I didn't have to break my bank to get mine, thanks to newer models.
    If I was now buying my first action camera I would consider both brands.
