Which would you buy? GoPro Hero 11 or DJI Action 3 ?
Action 3
Dji
colour on the Gopro has always been superior to the alternatives and still seems to be. The DJI has that blueish tint that is present on many Gopro alternatives. Looks fine until you see it next to the king. It would be the only reason I would still choose a Gopro.
Last week i bought OA3 with care refresh. Great camera.
Was about to go get the Hero 11 till I watched this, think I need to find me the action 3 instead, great vid bro, life saver
I have 2 gopro hero 10 cameras on a long term (2 years) timelapse for a client and both have suffered from either overheating in the summer or being too cold in the winter and have shut down. Now I need another 2 action cameras for long term timelapse at another site and your video has really got me thinking about the DJI Action 3. I used to have the original Action and it was sooooo much better to scroll through the menus whereas GoPro still has a problem with menu scrolling - thanks for this video
I have the GoPro 11. I mainly use it on my motorcycle where it never overheats, but I have felt the heat it generates in other situations.The actual footage is superb, and thankfully I haven't lost any yet. I never leave the battery in the camera as it does seem to discharge quickly even when the camera is turned off. GoPro are falling behind now, and if they don't address these issues then I will definitely look at the DJI next time. I have the DJI Mini 3 Pro, and the footage from that is excellent.
You paid $400 for your 11?
@@JimyOfficial Yes, it was £400 (UK) including the accessories bundle and one year GoPro Subscription.
@@rickparkinmoto Would you recommend the Hero 11 over the DJI Mini 3 Pro?
@@GamIngDoge.mini 3 pro is a drone.
Thinking of getting go pro for 350$ Canadian should I I’m hearing a lot about it overheating and have horrible battery life
On some reviews I find the GP 11 footage slightly better, on the others the OA3 the slight winner. Likely depends on settings used. Here I tended to prefer the OA3 more often. It terms of usability GP definitely a step behind. As you noted, both are good for an action camera so neither is really better, more about what fits your needs the most. Nice review!
Video quality seems pretty different. GoPro win. I don’t have a GoPro 11 but I wander if you shoot in 4k if it’s still overheat. The 8:7 aspect ration is great to shoot one clip and being able to use it both as 16:9 and 9:16
GoPro definitely overheats in 4K.
I think the overheating issue is mitigated on the Osmo series due to their alloy cases. They dissipate heat way better than the Go Pros with their plastic insulated cases.
I had both sent back GoPro 11 because it overheated and still locked up.. I kept the action 3 and love it. It did overheat once at 120 fps but never at 4K 60 FPS. I am going to get another action 3 (I need two)
I just purchased a DJI Action 3 over Hero 11!!! Why? I have a GoPro Hero 10 and can’t use it. It shuts down due to over heating or due to low battery, even though batteries are FULLY charged. I went as far as purchasing new batteries too! GoPros customer service is also one of the WORST. Sadly I’m staying away from GoPro until their cameras actually work and their customer service is at least decent.
I switched from gopro cameras to DJI a year ago. I am not joking when saying I lost at least 1 video EACH DAY filming with my newer gopro cameras and I have lost 0 in the whole year while using the DJI Osmo Action 3. The software alone in the DJI is well worth it to abandon Gopro completely.
Also LOVE the snap on mount of the DJI. Would never go back to the traditional screw in screw out system of a Gopro. Especially using helmet mounts it's a breeze as I don't need to adjust the field of view every time I put it back on.
DJI Has some issues that they need to sort out considering motorvlogging. I'm gonna make a short about them soon. But generally I'm fully in love with this camera after using Gopro for years before.
Hi. Purchased a hero 11 in Dec 22 and its been replaced twice and the new one I've just received does exactly the same, freezing, shutting down. I probably have only 2 hours of footage in 6 months. Getting my money back through credit card. I've messaged go pro three times for a call back and I've had nothing today. Last time to get exchange I continued to message for two weeks before someone phoned back.
Anyway lol, I'm looking to replace with the osmo 3 and have a purple panda mic with trrs 3.5mm. What mic do you recommend for motorcycle vlogging and connector.
Thanks in advance. Tim.
Yes, the DJI looks like when you are looking through your window shield in the car, and Hero 11 looks like when you're actually outside your car everything is vivid and more colorful. (I hate overheating though and mounting so am looking more into action3.
Thanks Darren for the great insight, Go pro has better image quality but only by a feather, in terms of realilibty, User interface and practically DJI OA3 wins hands down.
My Action 3 is still as good as the day I bought it, I bought the Adventure combo version. All my videos in a past year have been done with it. I like the Horizon Steady mode, and 2.7K. It means no matter how bad I hold the camera, as long as it's in the right direction, then my frame is level. One button recording is a game changer. I can switch on and auto record footage one handed without even getting off my bike. I generally use a chest mount, a mini tripod, or just hand hold it. I'd like an Action 4, but this works very well, so I will just keep on using my Action 3!
I have the Osmo Action 3. I use it in Canada for content on my fishing channel, and drone channel. The intelligent batteries work phenomenal in sub zero temperatures, and has never froze during shooting.
I think the best decision is to buy one of each and use the one that is best in the situation you need it for just like he did.
Great review. Bang on the money. I’ve had GoPros since their first one. Never again. Lets me down 50% of the time. Loving me Action 3. The difference in quality and reliability is night n day
Great video and I completely agree with everything you mentioned about the DJI Osmo Action 3, and as a moto vlogger, I find it to be the perfect choice.
One of the standout features for me is its quick start-up time, taking just one second from off to recording, which helps save battery life. Additionally, the camera allows for direct external microphone input without the need for any media mods or adapters. When mounted to the chin of my helmet, I can easily see the microphone icon on the screen to know the external microphone is working. In contrast, I've had issues in the past with media mods failing to recognize the microphone, leading to hours of wind noise on my recordings.
The only missing features on the Osmo Action 3 that would make it the ultimate camera for my needs are the ability to charge and use an external microphone simultaneously and a remote that can control multiple cameras.
Does the osmo 3 have a remote that can control 1 cam?
@Daviddear30 yes, although it is marketed for the Osmo Action 2. The Osmo Action 4 is now available and has a remote which also captures gps data and can control multiple cameras 😀
Gopro still seems to have a better sensor, more details on the ground on the face on the skin etc. but i do prefer A3 for battery life, reliability and color accuracy and for the magnetic mount. I'm not a fan of gopro's orange color tint
thanks for watching !
I purchased the GoPro 11 last year. The video quality and stabilization are better. If I had to choose again, I will still choose the GoPro. Personally, I haven't experienced overheating or any issues. If the Osmo Pocket 3 comes out with a 1-inch sensor and decent frame rates, I might go DJI but for now, I choose GoPro.
Are you recording go pro on the highest quality possible?
Quality wise is exactly the same
Only difference is the saturation on the Go Pro is dialled up
Where as the DJi gives you the natural look
I disagree with this, I had to return my OA4 as even that didn’t match up to GP11 quality in reality. I got hooked into what all the influencers were saying and went for the OA4. Soon noticed that road surfaces, snow, grass etc all lacked the texture and detail that the GP11 manages to capture keep. You just have to look at the above footage on a decent monitor as oppose to phone screen and it’s obvious. Even the hills in the background in this footage look like they’ve been painted. Personally I think the OA3 and OA4 are more comparable to the like of the GP 7/8
@@avxngersgo 5:07 and compare the asphalt and the wooden railing. GoPro 11 got more details captured.
But I will still prefer the Osmo Action 4 for lowlight and freediving/scuba footages because of that white balance correction feature. But if im out in a sunny day riding my mountain bike, I would settle on the GoPro 11, dont even need the GoPro 12 no difference on image at all
GoPro cameras just suck. I started with the GoPro hero 5. GoPro keeps putting out new cameras, and never fix the problems with the previous ones. That just shows is a piece of garbage company that does not care for its customers.
I don’t have either of them but seeing the footage you show the GoPro seems to have better quality in terms of clarity, colours and sharpness, it looks crisper while the DJI seems to be all very softened loosing details, maybe I’m wrong.
You make a valid point, what for having a camera that will overheat and then won’t be able to use but, does it happen to every single one of them? Or is it kind of a lottery in terms of a percentage of them not having the overheating issue?
from looking at the feedback and forums seems to be 99.9999 of them lol
@@DMProductions I’ll just keep using my Insta360 X3, for now it’s enough for what I need, thanks for replying and keeping creating great content 😉
I HATE so many things about GoPro design and operation, but the colors really pop over the Action 3 in your comparison.
The GoPro renders details better than the Action 3. Overall the GoPro has better image quality.
Awesome videk Darren. I definitely love the action 3. Loving the quality of it and more importantly the magnetic switching. Its so fast ans easier.
DJI osmo action 3 anyday. Reasons
1. Better battery backup
2. Extra wide view
3. No heating issue
4. color production. Gopro has a orange tint. Dji has cooler tint which is better in my taste.
5. Less price
6. Magnetic mount, easy to fit in vertical mode
7. Smaller size
Not here for the comparison (already own the GoPro Hero 11) but wanted to share with You that UA-cam Analytics show that my viewers are also watching Your content. When I noticed that it meant the world to me as I've been watching Your content for such a long time already !
Keep it up! 😄
haha nice one !
Excellent review (/rant). But yes. I like what yu are saying. However. Wha about ND filters. Did you try any on these two and then compare. DJI does lack some oumpf in the colors (that is the non-pro term of saturation?) DJI looks a bit blunt on your side by side comparison. You can fix these things in the post on the other hand, but why should I? I would choose the Action 3.
I love the Action 3 but end it up bought the GoPro 11 just because they have The Wireless Remote Control ❤ its so convenient when you can hang your camera anywhere and control it without touching your camera ❤...DJI please release your DJI wireless remote control for action 3,4 and up ... a lot of customers are say NO to your camera because of that reason 😢
You can control your OA3 through DJI Mimo app - dunno what would be missing from that feature, or what's your specific usage that doesn't work with DJI Mimo.
My Action 3 overheats after around 29 minutes hanging in the car by the window mirror. Consistently. 4K60 and both displays turned off. Will test 4K30 next time and also a PGYTECH aluminium frame for better cooling. But it is not true that overheating is no issue on the Osmo Action 3. It is, at least under some circumstances. One has to take this into account.
Just did a test: OA3 on a tripod on table, ambient temperature 22°C, recording in 4K30/RS (not plus) with both screens off, mostly static view (smartphone with timer app), the camera stopped recording because of OVERHEATING after 30 minutes 27 seconds).
So it is a MYTH that the OA3 does not overheat at all. It does and it does it much too fast. I am very sorry I did believe all those influencers about not overheating and bought two OA3s. I do record the view in front of my car when travelling on a regular base and only having half an hour before the camera shuts down is VERY BAD.
Tested 4K30 without stabilisation: overheating after around 42 minutes. Then same test with PGYTECH aluminium frame for cooling, overheating after 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Result: without any forced airflow the OA3 overheats easily. If you don't believe me, try it out by yourself!
@Speedster Turbo Berlin I've never had a overheating issue. Not yet anyway I'm outside in humid Louisiana weather. So far so good.
My DJI 3 overheats usually at 25 minutes while recording at 4K HDR 30 fps and 20 min at 4K 60 FPS. However, While recording timelapses I never had a problem over 1 hour and Still running.
Thanks for helping me decide to go with DJI
The GoPro exhibits much more detail but I like the colors better on the Osmo.
Why always so much publicity about the DJi Action 3. The DJI action 3 have still a focus problem. I had one and i bring him back to the shop. I wanna buy a DJI action 3 but for the moment there are problems with the DJI. Nobody can't tell me when i buy when that i have a good one.
any focusing issues have been sorted in firmware updates a month ago
I don't think so. Bought DJI last week, did update and still focus issue. The lens is apparently not seated correctly
@@Danny_en_Patricia_onderweg just got a 2023/03 (Feburary 2023) build and its pin sharp - hope that helps.....
@@Bokooda Thanks. I had one from 10/2022. I hope i can found a new one with a new production date
I have a GoPro 11, the overheating issue did not come so often but the battery drainage is really a problem. I hope one day I will update to a DJI action. You did not talk about the apps, I am a little disappointed of a GoPro app.
Yeah I mentioned that in my original video few months back, the Osmo app is good but I still can’t believe you can’t live view on the GoPro app 🙄
When you compare the price…Why did you use Dollar on Go pro and pound on action 3… very miss leading… I can’t help to think you’re bias here
Perspective changer thanks🎉
I dont understand... Whats wrong with colors on DJI? the color of the sky is awful. Not natural... oversaturated....
Good enough review. I agree with other's comments that I like the Hero 11 images better that you showed. However, let's not ignore one important point regarding the overheating - it depends on how you use it. I've watched other's videos regarding this issue and they talk about how the Hero 9 sucks because it shuts down after recording at 5K for 29 minutes. That doesn't matter to me. I've never recorded for more than 5 minutes in one go. And here's a bigger point - why shoot in 5K? The lenses aren't that good enough in these cameras to make that mean a damn thing. If you really want good 5K video (or 4K for that matter), buy a DSLR. The images will be incredibly crisp.
Yeah I don’t record long either and it still has too many overheats, for me the biggest pain is the battery drain. The video quality is very good tho, I just wish they improved the software side
I definitely prefer the flatter look of the DJI
For it not to overheat you need to be an active person, not a seat at your desk guy. Action camera! Or get the Sony alpha 7a or something like that.
I dont get it. I see tons of these people getting “Action cameras” to simy “vlog” or record while they are stationary at a “party” or whatever 🤦♂️and then wonder why it overheats on them😭
I am a video creator online - I have never had an overheating issue - why? 4k and 5k are both reduced online to 1080 p - so I shoot at 120 1080 - super wide - the GoPro is #1
Both of these cameras have dropped in price recently, the Hero 11 Black is now $399 and the Osmo Action 3 Adventure Combo is $439. The video listed the GBP price for the OSMO.
Because new models are releasing soon
Great advice Darren, love the rant too.
DJI is the winner for me too.
No need to reply - focus on more of your videos please (I saw your tweet earlier) :)
Haha 😂 oh on Twitter , you see I’m stuck as replying to you guys only seems right, if you take the time to watch I’ll do my best to reply to the majority
@@DMProductions I'm going to ignore this and I may reply in a few days.... 🤔😂
I don't know what GoPro does but they somehow make their video images pop more they're more vivid .....
Even though it may not be the realistic color profile of what your recording It just makes for more eye-catching video especially for UA-cam purposes without any color rendering need it in post....
Although so far using the DJI osmo I've not had one problem with it overheating or glitching or just simply freezing and losing any content that I've shot....
Does go pro battery drain more while not using iz because it had voic command option on standby?
Yes
The color looks more saturated on the GoPro. I’m going to switch to DJI Osmo 3.
Let me know how you get on
thanks for your review
Pleasure
Insta360 x3 for 360 video and DJI Action 3 for standard video for me
Good combo 👌
Dynamic range much better on GoPro
Too bad. I really wanted to buy dji. I am coming dji and like it usually better but how it looks the image quality looks really good on gopro
DJI put out a firmware update last October for 10 bit and increased dynamic range!
To me there’s a pretty large difference in quality. Just take a look at the hills in the background at 2:07, the OA4 is one mass of green, the GP11 shows texture. Again at 2:11 look at the ground, OA3 shows it as almost smooth, GP11 shows how rough it is. I wish DJI would stop asking promotors, sponsors etc to compare their camera to the high end GPs just because they capable of 4k resolution.
Yes I am frustrated as I went out and purchased an OA4 after watching all the comparison UA-cam videos only to find out myself that the quality has a fair why to go yet on even the OA4 before it meant that of the GP 11 9 or 12. I ended up returning my OA4 and getting a GP11 in the end. Just wish I’d used my own eyes in all the comparison videos rather than the ‘influencers’ narrating.
Reading other vlogs that say the Action 3 has a slight blur to the video. I have a GoPro 11 and it takes great video but sometimes it freezes up and other times it overheats. But I just can't buy a camera with poorer video quality. I think I'll delay my Action 3 purchase until the video quality is solved.
What resolution do you record in? I’m trying to decide between the Action 3 or Hero 11 🤔
@@xxsilver_gamingxx389 4K at 30fps and use Divinci Resolve for editing. I have a new GoPro 12 and have tried the 5.3k and that's very nice too. Gone are the freeze ups. I really like the 12.
DJI Action 3, got the adventure pack for 299, 100 cheaper than the Gopro hero 12 and comes with 3 batteries and also I dont have to worry about overheating, I already own the DJI mini 2 drone and Osmo 2 - they just make quality products. Gopro had the market but have dropped the ball for a long time now.
Gopro 11 overheated every time i took with me. Was so FRUSTRATING i sold it on ebay less than a month old. Bought the OA3 and just smiling ear to ear now.
Thanks for the review!
GoPro wins hands down on video quality. If you can’t see that you need to have your eyes checked. But it overheats way too fast? Lost footage? I’ve lost batteries because of 2 minutes of recording time!
just got the DJI Action 3 from my wife as a gift. Have the Pocket 2 & Mavic Air (first Model). For me, DJI is in any case and function better than GoPro (whatever Number).
Further to my comment below, the action 3 may not be what I need after all . . .let me explain, my client has a site in Scotland (I'm in Yorkshire)that needs to be visited every month to check that the GoPro hero 10 is capturing a constant timelapse at one photo per hour for 4-5 weeks at a time. The GoPro is plugged into the mains and Ive removed the batteries as one of the units overheated and the battery swelled meaning it had to be replaced. In the videos Ive watched after watching yours there doesnt seem to be a dedicated timelapse with photos option rather than a video for the Action 3. As you have the camera can you tell me if the A3 has a photo timelapse mode and will it take a shot every hour like the GP 10 ? thanks in anticipation - Nick
Prefer Gopro but DJI action 3 has better mount. It’s so handy when you are using the same camera to vlog in a car to capture your and the road. Seemless transition.
They haven't addressed any of the over heating or frezzing on the 12 still the same , i will be changing to DJI .
I think the GoPro is slightly better video but the dji action 3 doesn’t overheat and I like the magnets too
yes the gopro produces some lovely colours but now both has 10 bit but the day to day advantages of the Action 3 I think that give it the edge
Got bored of GoPros and sold them - sick of them crashing, freezing, not recording when I needed them to. Overpriced, underperforming cameras. Better more affordable options available.
thanks for watching
is it really that bad…. i might hv to go for Action 3 then but then some people say A3 has hardware focusing issue… may be insta 360 is the better of these two.
I really like my DJI Action 3. I still have my Osmo Action 1st Gen. I mainly use mine as a dash cam and it will start to over heat if you have suction cup mounted on the windshield with the defrosters on. That's on me. I did find a different mount where I can mount it to the windshield and have the defrosters on and no overheating. DJI all the way.
I have a GoPro 11 and HATE it. Overheats, batteries don't last and the mount is the absolutely most frustrating part. I have to change batteries so often and I cannot wait to throw it off a cliff. For the pure mount issue, I am getting a DJI. I've buying GoPros since the original, and the newer they get, the more frustrating they become to use. I don't wanna buy 10 cameras and multiple batteries. Charging takes too long, it's too expensive, I don't need the absolute best of anything... just want something easier than my phone. I'd rather use my phone than the gopro.
For underwater footages GoPro 11 has better quality of the video, especially, after the editing.
My GoPro 9 has an annoying occasional audio popping noise and from what I heard, it's a hardware issue and there is nothing that can be done about it. I think I've just been convinced to get the Action 3. Thanks for this great review.
Thanks for the overheating thoughts. GoPro have been maddening with their overheating all the way back to Gopro 3 in my experience! Glad we have a DJI alternative. Do better GoPro.
I have a vintage Hero + that's been collecting dust for a long time, I stopped using it due to how much of a pain it is to operate. I've been wanting to upgrade to a GoPro 11 for some time. But once I saw the Action 3 at Best Buy and read a few reviews, I made my mind up to go with the Aciton 3. Thank you for the video.
My hero 10 has been very frustrating just to get the footage downloaded onto my computer. I had to remember to cancel my subscription so they didn't charge me another 50 dollars for their glitchy software. I have not tried the DJI yet. Have you had any trouble downloading files?
Any updates here? :D
Does the DJI overheat in warmer climates, MTB riding? I had a couple Hero 10s but all failed overheating after 15-20 mins.
Small chance, but onlu if it’s super hot and your shooting in max resolution
Very nice review man. Ill go for dji action 3 even its not 5k.😍💯
After you talked about the overheating and the mounting system u sold me into getting DJI action 3
Never had a single problem with GoPro overheating.
How does dji magnets work under the water
Works fine it also has clips on the side for extra security.
Sold!
Me (6/2/2023, 2:26:08 PM): GoPro shuts down because of overheating
Eugene (6/2/2023, 2:26:33 PM): Hi Michael. This is Eugene, apologies for the delay if ever that you had to wait for a chat agent to be available.
Me (6/2/2023, 2:27:06 PM): Hi, the GoPro is getting overheated way too fast. It just shut down twice within 30 minutes
Eugene (6/2/2023, 2:27:43 PM): Is this in regard to a HERO11 Black camera?
Me (6/2/2023, 2:27:47 PM): Yes
Eugene (6/2/2023, 2:28:11 PM): Your HERO11 Black camera heats up and powers off by itself, correct?
Me (6/2/2023, 2:28:16 PM): Yes
Eugene (6/2/2023, 2:28:59 PM): I'm sorry to hear about your HERO11 Black camera, but no worries, since you have me here, I’ll make sure that your concern will be taken care of.
Eugene (6/2/2023, 2:29:04 PM): How long have you had the camera?
Me (6/2/2023, 2:29:59 PM): March 29 this year
Eugene (6/2/2023, 2:31:34 PM): When did you first experience the problems?
Me (6/2/2023, 2:32:42 PM): 6th of may it happened the first time.
Me (6/2/2023, 2:33:30 PM): I mainly use it to make pictures and Short videos. The shutdown occurs when I use it for longer videos
Eugene (6/2/2023, 2:33:37 PM): Did you receive an error notification from the camera that says "camera is too hot"
Me (6/2/2023, 2:34:03 PM): But that's actually where the device is intended for right? Making videos
Me (6/2/2023, 2:34:27 PM): Yes the camera gives the error and shuts down
Eugene (6/2/2023, 2:35:26 PM): HERO11 Black contains the GP2 processor which enables high-performance recording options and better image quality. If you are shooting long clips at the highest resolutions, or are in a static environment, we recommend taking some of the steps listed later in this article to provide additional airflow.
Eugene (6/2/2023, 2:35:43 PM): Please refer to the steps in this link:
community.gopro.com/s/article/HERO11-Black-Camera-Is-Too-Hot?language=en_US
Me (6/2/2023, 2:36:29 PM): Airflow? It's happening when mounted on a headstrap moving almost continuously
Eugene (6/2/2023, 2:38:07 PM): How about the settings?
Eugene (6/2/2023, 2:38:36 PM): Please adjust the camera settings as recommended by the link
Me (6/2/2023, 2:39:09 PM): I'm sorry but it's kind of weird buying a camera that doesn't function of can't function with its capabilities
Me (6/2/2023, 2:39:23 PM): Is there an option to return it?
Me (6/2/2023, 2:39:40 PM): I didn't buy it to record in low res
Me (6/2/2023, 2:40:50 PM): You basically sold me something that doesn't work

Me (6/2/2023, 2:44:41 PM): Then I could just buy a camera that is for full hd or something

Me (6/2/2023, 2:52:42 PM): Yup well I'll just throw it in the trash or something.
Me (6/2/2023, 2:53:12 PM): Never thought a brand like GoPro would be like this towards their customers

All my mountain bike footage like this: ua-cam.com/video/InUVuyqNve8/v-deo.html has been done with a Hero 8. Only real issue was a couple batteries bloated up over time which GoPro just replaced even though out of warranty time period. It does feel pretty hot sometimes if I let it record non-stop while riding.
I loved my DJI Mini 3 Pro but I'm still going with GoPro for this one.
At around the 2:53 mark the ground on the A3 is horrible! There are green flares in it and it doesn't look natural. That is what keeps me from getting one. There are too many times that I have seen things that just look off.
Awesome video. You just helped me decide which camera to go with. Not to mention the fact that you have to spend an extra $79 to attach a 3rd party mic. That was pretty much a deal breaker for me.
Had a number of early model GoPro's but none since GP4, concentrating on full frame gear. Checked a lot of recent video comparisons and bought the DJI Osmo Action 3 for a couple of surf and snorkeling trips. Just used it in Fiji for 7 days and it was flawless, giving fantastic underwater footage without needing full waterproof cage. Great stills also for quick snaps along the way. Battery life was excellent, no shutdown issues at all. Really happy with the choice.
I’m in the same situation, actually lost my GP4 last snorkeling trip 😢
Looking for some other options, really considering this one. Have a trip to Hawaii coming up.
I had a gopro max and recently purchased a DJI. The main reason I bought was because DJI has the absolute best customer service. I can’t say the same about gopro from personal experience. I also have a dji drone and they have a great warranty program
Thinking of getting go pro for 350$ Canadian should I I’m hearing a lot about it overheating and have horrible battery life
At first I thought wow those both look kind of bad. Then I realized for some reason UA-cam decided this video should play at 720p for whatever reason.
yes haha I've had that, first thing I do now is change each video to 4k
Thank you for the excellent review!!!
thank you !
I went down the rabbit hole of action cams. Some cheap companies have 100 models. I ended up going action 3. I didn't need something so nice, but screw it. It was the same price as a high end akaso but 100 times better.
You do realize that when you compared the prices the GoPro prica was in USD and the Action 3 price was Pounds?
Sometimes really Disappointed with my goPro units.. 1st the OVERHEATING 2nd it hang up if I'm using the MEDIA MOD 😫 3rd about accessories that need to detached from time to time you need to change battery .
The Action 3 out of focus hardware issue is wide spread & continues to be an issue. GP11 is only $350 with subscription (includes camera replacements). I’d say the info is very one-sided & misleading. Great channel, but this video def seems a bit off.
excellent ideo. I have both the original Osmo action (which has travelled to many expeditions) and now the Action 3. Just great camreras and the menu interface is very easy to use too
Glad you like them buddy
Who doesn't love the GoPro 11? Give it to me, please, otherwise I do not have enough money to buy it.
why does both video clips during your 10 bit update comparisons tear up like shit?
That mount system on the DJI is jenk. Rather have the way more secure screw in.
To me, your sample videos show a much better image quality from the GoPro.
good video .... hope dji improves on the color science and keeps on inovating ... still think thant hero11 color is still beter. I'll buy both... more points for dji
Thanks 😊
The Action 3, but it needs a better case for mounting.
I the Go pro has more features but the battery life short, unreliable, the mod microphone mount is not good when the usb is connected to the creator pack battery charger. Price is better.
Bro, your audio is very low compared to other videos
The GoPro is far superior.
1 thing I know is that Go pro customer service became non-existent. They've become contact via email only.
I think your footage looks too sharp in both cameras. 3:49 The gopro is limited to 200mbits/s if you install the Gopro Labs firmware.
They are both great cameras which one is best? All depends what work's for you?
Vlogging ?
I want that hero 11 mate haha
haha let the bidding commence.....
Thank you. It looks buying DJI is more makes sense to me.
The firmware update for the Action 3 does not fix the issue, the issue is HARDWARE BASED. The fixed lens is off on them. I even got an 11/2022 OA3 build with the latest firmware and still horrible focus. I had to return it and Amazon now takes forever to process any electronic returns. Not worth it. Going for the GoPro Hero 11 + go pro subscription for only $347 now. Dynamic range and overall quality is much better with the GoPro. DJI should be honest about the issue.
