Fine for me on recent black Friday , I wasn't blown away by the 5 , battery life is fine as I've 3 of them from the 3. All the issues that DJI had with the rushed 5 release cheesed me off . I'm happy enough
Owned a GoPro hero 12 and this camera. Returned the GoPro after how bad the stabilisation was in low light. Only thing I’m not a fan of the DJI is how much storage each 4K clip uses compared to the GoPro. Also battery life never lasted on the GoPro was was super slow to charge compared to the rapid DJI
@ 4k 30. GoPro lasts for 10h 49 ish on a 256gb card. DJI lasts 4h 30. Issue is DJI records in such a high bitrate and you can’t change it. They just say knock down to 1080p
If you use these cameras professsionally, the OA4 is better, you’d want the least in camera processing and higher bitrate, casual users would benefit from the OA5 more. OA5’s better DR is fake, its just the camera boosting the shadows. With LOG, its basically the same DR. You can achieve the same ‘better’ DR by increasing the gain in shadows in post
New subscriber here. Best Buy was out of stock indefinitely on the $209 deal and Costco had it for $200, but they ran out as well. I bought the Action 4 Adventure combo for $309, which I still think is a great deal. Having the extra batteries with the charging case is great. I tried the Action 5pro and I don't think it's any good. The HDR is so heavy handed and the colors out of camera are way too saturated. The Action 4 is the best action camera value on the market. All the 2024 action camera releases were terrible in my option. Which ND filters do you have?
It is definatly the best buy at this point. Video is much better than on Action 5 Pro. I Got Action 5 pro and it is so frustrating because it has this aggressive HDR processing in all color profiles. It looks so unnatural and trashy. It amazes me that they released a new camera with worse video than the older one. And also...reds are so bad on action 5 + you have to do lots of work to color match Action 4 and 5. I hope they will fix it in firmware.
It's not worth it anymore. The 5 can connect 2 mics to it while also recording the internal audio. That feature alone makes the 4 not worth it unless you can get it for $200 or less.
Türkiye is coming and you didn't add Turkish subtitles to your video, which is a bit upsetting, but thank you for the quality images you took, my friend. :)
The Action 4 is definitely worth it for daytime action videos, low light videos are not anything I'm interested in. This link is to my video I made just a couple days ago. ua-cam.com/video/KF2gzkFHbRY/v-deo.html I also have the A5 but I like the normal color profile of the A4 better so the A5 just sits in the box.
Thanks. I was going to buy a second A4 and do some multi-cam videos but then the 5 came out so I bought one. I didn't care for the A5 HDR effect in the normal color profile and I don't care to color grade so I just keep using the A4. There have been 2 firmware updates since I used it last so next ride day I'll try it again.
hahah if you can still create cool stuff on that thing keep it man! I find I don't always bring an action cam with me so it depends how much you have a need for it.

Yeah the 5 seemed like a mid upgrade

Yeah true the battery life alone led me to the Osmo
how much storage does it take? Would 256gb be enough if I always backup?

Gone for the 4. i would pay for a one inch sensor but not the same sensor size at double the price as well
Totally agree

Yeah I've heard a lot about that processed look :(
What LUT do you use for your DJI action 4?
Just the Rec 709 and then a LUT by a guy named Rob Strok
I have one of these here in the UK and love it. Thanks for sharing these tips. Do you have any more info for editing and using the app?
Hey Alan, I haven't used the app to edit unfortunately but thanks for the support on the channel, it means a lot man
How to avoid camera shake, is there an internal gimbal?
No internal but I've seen people use mobile gimbals!

Glad you got a good deal man and yeah the Action 4 is just such a good value, we don't always need the latest and greatest.
Costco $199 includes sd card and tripod
A steal at that price
I can’t find it on the site ????

Yeah the 5 is awesome if you need wireless mic options.
Most people don’t need two mics lmao

Thanks for the kind words about the images! Sorry about the no subtitles!
The low light performance mode is 8bit
Yeah the low light on this thing is kinda crippled.

My channel content fully recorded using this camera. Just a simple editing using capcut.
Just looked at your channel, awesome stuff man! Keep it up!
Your footage looks awesome bro. I’m still on the Osmo action 1 maybe it’s time to upgrade. 🫶
