Just so you know, there was an firmware update this week, you can now switch screens without having to stop the video. It just keeps recording.
YES! Finally! Thank you for letting us know, Max!!
@@keith-knittel If they yet manage to get rid of the horrible lag between recording and whats showed up on the screen with RockSteady enabled, I'm totally happy with it. ;)
It probably has something to do with the computing power or the Osmo Action. It would be great if they could optimize RS to reduce the lag. Would be great to have an option to record with RS enabled, but preview the 'un stabilized' footage for no lag. I'd use that option all the time!
@@keith-knittel yes. Something like this would be a good compromisr
@James Bond i guess we're talking about different Features and different Updates

Thank you for the information. It's a great action cam for me.
Thanks for watching and hope you found it useful! It's a great little camera
Appreciate the tips 👌🏻
Thanks for watching, Steve!
Hey Keith! Thanks for this video! I’m coming a bit late but I have a question, what’s the minimum focus distance? If you fil your self are you in sharp focus? Thanks!
Nice content. Thanks for the tips
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and commenting, means alot!
Hello, you make really cool tutorials.
What is the hardnest you use for your dog Lola ?
I go really often with my gog in water and i'm intersting by this product.
Thanx
Thanks Peps! I linked Lola's camera harness in the description!
Excellent - thanks
You are welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Awesome dog! Good video
Thanks for watching! She’s a good girl
GREAT TIPS BROTHER ❤❤
Appreciate it!
Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for all the great tips!
Watching in my car at lunch with my phone connected to car audio, I was getting a lot of rumble from the sub. It probably wouldn't affect most viewers on their computers or devices, but you might throw a low-cut filter on in post just in case. Thanks again!
Thanks for the feedback, Tim! I edit my videos wearing headphones, so I don't really have any rumble while editing. I'll definitely have to look into getting some speakers to test out my audio so subwoofers arent picking up my voice. Thanks again for the helpful info, and watching my videos!
Great vid
Thank you! And thanks for watching
@@keith-knittel you're welcome and ty for making 🙂👍
Amazing 😳
Thank you!
This is some clear, concise information.
However, what I am confused about is that thing next to your computer keyboard.
Is that a cushioned hand rest or a loaf of french bread?
LMFAO
Haha, yes to both! Well, it's my wrist rest that just happens to be shaped like a french baguette! Haha Thanks for the kinds words and watching!
That “thing” deserves its own review video
Subbed for the dog!
Shes a good girl!
great video ! more DJI stuff !
Thanks Ellen! I'm working on more videos now!
Very usefull video, thank you!! what is this bread on the desk? Lol!!
Haha yes! That is my wrist rest! It does a great job believe it or not! Thanks for watching and subscribing.
Solid tips, and still a solid camera in 2023. ✊️
Yeah! I still have and use this camera for behind the scenes stuff!
I'm still rockin it. I don't see much reason to get the newer ones really...
Also a good point is to switch video options to DCinelike, then you can colourgrade better
Awesome video... new sub
Glad you liked the video and thank you for subscribing!
I do wish the osmo action when you plug a rode video micro into the cynova official mic adapter... wish there was a dB and or audio boost settings like the gopro hero 6 and 7 and 8 and 9 were you can boost the dB of the audio whether it's a powered mic or non powered mic I noticed audio is super low on something as simple as filling outside in a quite place while doing gardening with my wife even during editing I boosted audio but still wasn't very loud wish there was more options like gain and everything for the mic
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Maybe next time just wait till you have finished filming before 😚💨 ☺️
Youre welcome - thanks for watching and commenting. What do you mean wait until i;m done filming?
You are amazing bro! I love the cinematic look in your video, what ND filter you use?
Thanks, Sam! I use the Freewell filters for my Osmo Action, and polar pro for pretty much everything else. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Aerial Guide thanks bro!👍😊
I just purchased my DJI OA4 and would love a tutorial on how you download, edit vids and what video editing program you use. I really wished there was a Mimo app I could use on my MacBook Air. I prefer to do editing on a larger digital platform and not on my iPhone.
Just ordered this camera to replace my gooro hero 5 black. Records beautiful videos but losing audio now. So I ordered this one. Does this snapshot (quick start) set to video, do you have any issues with audio? I’ll have this on a chest mount for fishing.
hi, do any of these have a sensor for motion, so the camera can stay in standby mode and start recording if something moves ..
Which one is better this action or Go PRo 7. I l already have osmo pocket...but I am looking fo action camera...Thank you for your reply.
Both are pretty similar, osmo action has a color front facing screen you can use to see yourself while filming and I think is slightly easier to use (pretty negligible though). The hero 8 is out now? I don't know much about the 8. Thanks for watching and commenting.
You should attach the camera to your dog! Great video man as always!
Hey there Tendencias, thanks for the kind words!! I did attach the camera to Lola in this video! There are a few clips here! Would you be interested in seeing more clips from her perspective? I have a ton of clips from the Osmo Action attached to Lola!
Aerial Guide a POV from your dog would be amazing. No voice just cool “Moby” music and your dog POV with the Osmo Action! I’m a Spanish speaker vlogger as well and I love both of the cameras from DJI. Cool videos man, keep it up!
Tendencias Tech If you watched the video you would have seen he DID attach it his dog! FFS!!
Great video - Thanks! I just ordered an OSMO Action Camera to use on our farming videos. If you have time - question ... One of the things I will do with this camera is via a magnetic mount, attach the camera to our tractors and implements. Lots of vibration and with respect to our square baler, a lot of hard jerks (for lack of a better word - you might look at one of our baling videos to see this... ). I was thinking I would want the rock steady to help smooth out the vibration, baler motion and just bumpy terrain. I’m not so sure after watching your camera mounted to a car dash filming the road ahead. Any recommendations for setting up this camera for our farming videos are much appreciated. Should I use rock steady? Thanks again?
Hey there JHJ Farm, this is a cool question! Checked our your videos, you need something much more aggressive than rock steady to smooth out the bumpy vibrations and jerks or the equipment. Rock steady is good for minor shakes, but for your application you're going to need a gimbal to smooth out those shakes, and maybe even then it wont be silky smooth footage. Rock steady wont hurt, it will help to a point - but if you're able to drive slower, use rock steady or a gimbal and work on steadying your camera and your filming techniques while farming/filming that will go a long way. You can also try to use Warp Stabilizer in Premiere Pro or After Effects, but again that will only help so much. The best way to get smoother footage is to smooth out the camera first and only rely on technology when all else fails. You have a very unique situation, please keep me updated on what you come up with! Thanks for asking such a great question and watching.
Aerial Guide - thanks for the reply and recommendations. We are going to be cutting and baling hay hopefully around Memorial Day weekend. FYI - the guy that recommend the OSMO to me is farmer who lost his arms at around 2 years old. He does everything with his feet. I’m talking about driving big farm tractors and doing repairs, etc. He also drives a tractor trailer hauling corn from their farm. Unbelievable inspiring man. Checkout his channel, Harmless Farmer. Thanks again for your reply!
Beside for smartphone, can osmo action be connected to other monitor as a 2nd monitor, instead looking in osmo screen itself (coz it as a small screen) ive rather to look in a 2nd monitor while taking a video...thanks!
I don't own a DJI Osmo Action But I've been so obsessed with it these days so I'm just watching random UA-cam videos on it. This one was the best one I've found.
Wow - thank you for such a kind comment! That really means a lot and it pushes me to make more videos. Thanks for watching - especially since you don't own the camera!
hi Keith, quick question, what is the best option to record you and scenery when hiking and using a stick on camera, thank you!!
Hey there, I use 4K 60 most of the time - or 4K 24 if I'll be using the video in real time and not using any slow motion. Rock steady is almost always on!
Hello .... Can you please tell me if it possible to activate this camera via PC because I dont have a Smart Phone and also can I do updates via PC ?
what would be the best setting for underwater video?
Thumps up for Lola 😅👌🏼
She's a good girl!
Question i downloaded that rock steady guide, But im new to all this camera stuff so 4K From first to last? 24 - 240
does this men FPS?
Hey there, yes that means FPS. Some resolutions only have a few frame rates while others (1080p) can go from 24-240 fps.
It's there a way to snap pictures from video like In Gopros?
thanks to your tutorial I have understood why I did't get to use 1/50 shotter and it doesn't work at 4k at 60p and it stop at 1/60 shooter but if you go lower than 4k 60p and you go and you set it a 4k 50p or also less 30p or 24p it works good also at 1/50 or even 1/20 second . so thanks because with artificial lights when you use 1/60 shooter it starts flickering while at 1/50 and 1/100 the flickering disappear .
Hey there, Tony. If you're shooting at 4K 60, you'll want your shutter to be around double your frame rate - so your ideal shutter would be about 1/120th. Any lower than that you'll get pretty blurry footage. Your camera typically wont let you lower the shutter as far as you can while shooting photos, while youre shooting video based on your what frame rate youre using. Thanks for watching and commenting !
Thanks for your tips & tricks. I ordered the camera on Friday, but it won't arrive till mid Jan (a bundle deal)..
So I'm still doing research & such. I did order a cpl filter.
I might get the ND filters later? We'll see how much I actually use the Osmo camera first vs my Lumix camera.
Someone in an Amazon video said the stock filter is UV. Do you know if that's true?
Thanks for your time. I like that you reply on comments! 👍
Honestly, I'm actually not sure what the stock filter is. I thought it was clear glass, but I could be wrong. I haven't done any testing myself on that. If you find out let me know! It's not going to replace your lumix, but it's a great B cam! Or great camera for strapping it to something and filming stuff you wouldn't want to subject your lumix to! Thanks for the kind words and watching!
@@keith-knittel I tried researching, could not find any info. If I do, I will pass it on.
I took my Lumix out yesterday & had fun with it. Of course, a totally different camera for different purposes.
I use my phone for vlogging often too. It's just easier to grab. 😉
Am anxious to play with the DJI Osmo Action camera when it arrives!
Thanks for your tips bro.. I just click the red button already.
You're welcome - thank you for watching and subscribing! Means a lot, I truly do appreciate it!
Во время записи экраны можно переключить боковой кнопкой немного удерживая её.
Hey man! Do u know any info if the mimo app is available in oppo phones such as reno 3 pro? Hope you’ll reply. Peace!
Hey there Gerald, not sure of the compatibility but definitely check out the app store for your device. There is usually a compatibility list on there at the bottom of the page! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Aerial Guide okay thanks man!
Can we see more of Lola, I love this dog
She’s the Goodest girl. Search “go pro on a German shepherd home alone” on UA-cam for Lola’s most popular video on my other channel!
Go watch a dog video! FFS!!
What is the best software for watching the video footage and editing...? Thanks
I like premiere pro, but Final Cut Pro and davinci resolve (free) are popular options too
I like how your wrist rest looks like bread
It's a great wrist rest! I'm still using it (although I probably need a new one, it's pretty old at this point!)
🤣😂🤣
You can change screens while filming now. It changed with a firmware update. Lag is gone now too
Yes! Thank you for pointing that out!
doggie cameo, best cameo
She’s the best girl! I wish I could put her in all of my videos but she’s afraid of the drone noise. :( thanks for watching and commenting!
Whats the deal with the bread wrist pad? Amazing video as always
Thank you!! I started dabbling in mechanical keyboards, and it's all been a never ending rabbit hole since. The wrist rest helps take some of the strain off of my wrists, I just like the bread wrist rest the most!
Aerial Guide wow didn’t realize it’s an actual product! Amazing
That’s hilarious!
Hey thanks for sharing. I just purchased the osmo action. I want to use it to film scenic walks around London. What settings would you recommend to get the best quality while avoiding distortion?
The settings really depend on your lighting conditions and what you're trying to achieve with your footage, I would definitely enable Rock Steady and try to keep your ISO as low as possible. You probably wont need a really fast shutter speed since you're walking - but the exact shutter speed / frame rate is up to you! Congrats on your new camera and have fun filming! Thanks for watching and commenting.
I don't know if this has been asked yet, but is there way to prevent rain from getting in the USB-C port while you're using an external battery, like for timelapse? I was thinking of doing a sunrise, or just a moon timelapse, but I don't want moisture getting in the camera.
Hey there Ken, with the door off it’s not waterproof. The door has the gasket in it that makes it waterproof so if you damage that or remove it it’s no longer water resistant
@@keith-knittel it's just a bummer, because to do a decent time lapse, you need to use a larger battery
The osmos action is also a great camera to make footage at night.
Hello,
Bought a few days ago an osmo action cam. After updating the firmware and take a look on the different settings i have some issues with the cam.
1. After a full charge of the battery (first use) and playing a little bit with the settings, battery level goes realy fast down. The cam seems to drain also the battery while powered off.
2. Voice control works a little bit strange. Stop recording doens't work properly. "Take photo" turns the LCD screen. I have to repeat the command the most of the time.
3. I like to use the osmo for cycling trips. How i works with my old "drift action cam"? When mounted on my helmet, i turn the cam "on". The cam goes into standby mode during the whole ride (several hours). When i push the rec button (remote control, this cam doesn't have voice control) the cam start recording, pushing the stop button, it stops recording and goes into standby mode. Does the osmo works the same way? I tried, but...once the LCD goes off, the voice command doesn't react, i have to manualy push the rec button. With the cam mounted on my helmet... it's not practical during cycling.
Hey there, this is very strange and I havent had this experience. Are there any firmware updates available? I don't use the voice controls at all, so maybe someone that does can elaborate more here - but if you're still experiencing issues, I'd reach out the DJI. Those are some very strange errors
What is the safest ND stop filter I can use on a bright sunny day? Id like to buy a single piece instead of a pack of NDs just to test waters. Does ND/PL 16 works?
Depends on how sunny the day - nd16 is a pretty safe bet for most sunny days though. I have an nd vs ndpl vs no filter video that I go over this in more detail. Thanks for watching
@@keith-knittel i'll watch it! By the way, does the nd filter still the same even it came from a non reputable/ not known brand?
Osmo Action is so amazing quality
It's a great little camera! Thanks for watching, cary!
Actually you can record and switch screen while recording with the quick switch button.
Hey there Hen, I made this video before that firmware update. Thankfully we can film and switch screens at the same time now! Thanks for pointing that out and watching!
Great videos! If you had to choose your top two or three ND filters that you primarily would use on average, what ND filter numbers would you recommend...ND 8, ND 16, ND 32, 64....? Thanks man! Again, awesome review.
Thanks for the kind words! If I could only have 2 ND filters, I'd get an ND8 and an ND 16. If you're filming in really bright conditions (I'm typically not) I'd go with an ND8 and an ND 32. I typically like to film towards the beginning or end of the day, so I mostly use my ND4, 8 and 16. ND 32 and 64 is pretty aggressive, but if you're in direct mid-day sunlight you'll need them. Thanks again for watching and the kind words, hope that helps!
@@keith-knittel Thank you so much for the fast response! Last question... have you noticed ND filters affecting your Rocksteady stabilization at all? One UA-cam review said that it affected it but I wasn't sure how accurate that was and if you noticed any of that at all when you use them. Thanks again!
how did you do to make 1/50 shooter - mine arrive untill 1/60 so where I'm wrong ?
Your shutter speed will vary based on your frame rate youre shooting at. Thanks for watching and commenting
As I was watching your video, my Osmo Action started recording. Voice commands were turned on, and it was responding to you!
Hahaha! I'll have to keep that in mind while recording my next video - sorry about that!
will camera save video its self if battary is dead? thank
I haven't tested it on this camera, but my Osmo Pocket will stop recording the clip when the battery dies. Thanks for watching, Gash.
Can it record using the front screen while the screen is switched off? Just curious.
The screen can dim after a certain amount of time to save battery life. Thanks for watching!
@@keith-knittel Thanks for the info.
THE VOICE CONTROL option is confusing it seems! you can only use it
after stopping the recording. I tried saying " switch screen" " take
photo" but it didn't do anything except for just recording. If I say "
stop recording" it stops and then take photo and switch screen works! Am I right? Thanks
Hey there David, to be honest - it's something I havent really played around with. I typically turn the voice control off. I'm not a huge fan of it but if you're mounting it in a remote location I could see it's use. Wish I could help you more - I always found it more useful to use the app or on screen controls. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Author, is the loaf on your table from Stalker 2?
Hello there, I'm not sure what this means. This baguette is for my wrist rest for my keyboard! Thanks for watching and commenting
@@keith-knittel Stalker 2 is a PC game that we are promised for more than ten years, but still can not release. They say it will be released in 2021. The developers once showed some screenshots and models, including a model of a loaf, while they boasted that they would make the graphics as detailed and realistic as possible...
I love a good video with great audio. So important. Why do people not focus on their audio/mics?
I love good audio too! Thanks for the feedback - I try to get my audio as clean as possible. Most people focus on just the camera. Thanks again for the kind words and watching
@@keith-knittel you bet!
i think its better all in all,i have got one already.
It's a great little camera - thanks for watching
3:35 the old dji screen lag has mutated to a physical lag now😂.
😂😂😂
More Lola please !
Search “go pro on a German shepherd home alone” for Lola’s more cameo is video on my other channel! Thanks for watching!
I understand where you are coming from on the filters but at the same time Freewell doesn't do a good job of labeling the filters. So picking the wrong filter because it is not labeled well would be an issue with me but I'm not mounting my camera on a dog. haha... Good video good input just my 2 cents.
My filters are labeled in white text on the sides of the filters - most filters (especially at this size) are pretty tough to read. The Mavic and Osmo Pocket filters are even smaller type! But I totally see where youre coming from. It's not ideal to be so small. Thanks for watching and chipping in your two cents! It's a valid point
Is the camera waterproof when using a filter?
Yes, but make sure the SD card door and battery are securely attached
@@keith-knittel ok thank you
Is there any way to take photos for every x seconds? I plan to take photos by leaving the camera and going to in front of the view. Then i want the camera will take 5 photos of me with 5 seconds, so i can use the camera when i travel alone.
Hey there, yes - you can timelapse on this camera
Thanks for the tips, just brought the Oslo action with Christmas money I received, I was able to buy it for £229 at Curry's/PC World here in the uk. More than happy with the footage it records for the price. Happy new year...📷
Congrats on the new osmo action! It's a great action camera! Happy new year to you too, thanks for watching and commenting!
Very clear informative video. But your lighting and contrast seems to be low. Thanks alot for sharing. I'm planning to buy this microphone - Saramonic LavMicro U3-OA omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with Type-C Connector for DJI. Any comments?
Hey there Jagdeep, thanks for the kinds words. I love the low-key look, but that might not be for everyone! I have never used the Saramonic mics before. I've stuck the Rode, sennheiser and deity microphones and have had great results with them. Thanks for watching
Greetings to Lola :)
Will relay the message!
Did you use an ND filter for this video set? 🙄
I DID! I always experiment with this youtube channel, and this time I turned up my light and added an ND filter. I like experimenting with these youtube videos since they are for fun and not a client. It's a stylistic choice for sure. By that emoji I'm assuming you didn't like it. Haha. Thanks for watching and commenting, good observation too. You're the first person to call that out.
720p at 60fps would be nice for continuous recording.
How about zoom ?
When i have voice command on it randomly turns off my recording.
Yeah, that is one of the main reasons I turn it off. Can lead to weird things happening but can be helpful in a few select situations. Thanks for watching!
The trouble with the Mimo app is it only pairs with certain phones. DJI gave me a list of phones it pairs to and my Samsung wasn't one of them, so I uninstalled it and had to a firmware update manually.
For some reason, DJI seems to work better with iOS devices. I'm not sure why, but android users are reporting a lot of problems using their apps. Sorry you're having issues with your phone - that is very frustrating. I hope they will better support android devices in the future.
@@keith-knittel Yes the list I saw it appeared all ios phones were compatible, and on the Android side, mainly Chinese brands like Huawei, Honor etc and Google phones. They said they would be adding more in future.
😁👍🏼
❤🙏
Is that wrist rest in the shape of a baguette?
It is!! It's a great wrist rest. Thanks for watching
HI KEITH! Great name!
Hey there Keith, this is Keith. Great name, you even got the spelling right! It's K-EI-TH not K-IE-TH! Haha thanks for commenting and watching!

🤌🤌🤌🤌
Is it bread on the table??? 😁
Thats my wrist rest! Haha
I went for the polar pro magnetic filters. And they were screw in!!!
Is the adapter screw on, but the filters are magnetic still? Or did they update their design? How do you like them?
