Looking for the Action 4? I got it right here! ua-cam.com/video/k7kqpONznAE/v-deo.html
Another great video, I hope your voice has recovered since. I also really like the DJI mounts so much that I swapped out the folding feet on my GoPro to the DJI base, game changer for ne.
Thanks!
Wait...what? How you do dat?
Pretty straightforward and honest review however no mention of the lack of customer service support from GoPro or the issue of overheating with the GoPro. . These two areas were dealbreakers for me personally and that is why I will be buying the DJI Osmo Action 3.
I have never had issues with overhead, and have had good experience with their customer support.
I watched a lot of comparison videos between Gopro 11 and Action 3. I preferred the video quality from the Gopro. But the magnetic clips, the batteries, the overheating, front touch screen, made me buy the Action 3.
So in my opinion, very accurate assessment, my friend. All the best!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
İm thinking the same,mybe wait action 4 new model if it comes closer date.
Go pro got the better, but not that big difference. Convenience is what the ACTION 3 way better. Also, ACTION 3 is less cheaper than GO PRO.
WOW! Awesome review! I have just started doing reviews myself - flashlights - and it is SO much harder to get a good production than you would think. Cameras have infinitely more variables. You covered EVERYTHING so thoroughly! Super impressive! Any thoughts on low light comparison?
Thanks! I think the DJI does a bit better in low light.
Dji has ev compensation it also has d cince 10 bit color space, similar to the gopro flat or log. It also got updated with enhanced image quality with impoves the dynamic range, so the shadow and highlights are more correctly exposed, it got updated 1 month before the realise of this video.
Thank you, this is a very helpful comparison. I think I’m edging towards the OA3 for the lower price and the easier setting up as I’m new to these sorts of things 👍🏻
You might want to check out the Action4 before you pull the trigger.

Which lens/ cropping were you using on each? kinda interested in the Osmo for the super super wide
Hypersmooth and RockSteady.
Man this is awesome. Ive been looking for an MTBer perspective on the Action 3 (especially relating to the magnetic attachment and how strong it is) and this is perfect. Glad to see DJI taking it to GoPro and hopefully this will garner a competetive response from GoPro (win for us).
Glad you dug it!
Yeah, DJI did a good thing.
I forgot to mention. What camera you get. You need the program to make it better. Along with a camera. Cameras to apps to edit. Both can make or break the video.
I have the A3 and love it. Had 4 different gopros over the years and had issues with all of them.
🤘🏾
When the DJI came out I did watch a video of a guy running over the DJI multiple times with his car and the body held up amazingly well and was still working. I believe he set it on fire also and it was doing well...See if you can find that reliability test for its ruggedness
this is a great review of both. that was a lot of editing !!!! impressive. For us, we are tiny. we spend more time getting the gopros to work that we waste time and battery tinkering due to the "glitching". Got fed up and got the Action 3 and we haven't been happier. We have given up a tad bit of quality but I will take the Action 10X over GoPro now.
Totally makes sense.
Use the kit that fits.
Great editing as always. Cracking up at the dial up modem sound. Great video as well, my son wants a GoPro so hopefully he actually follows the link I sent him and watches this vid for himself….
Ha! Glad you dug it. Best of luck to your son!
Very good comparison. + 1 subscription
Thanks and thanks for subscribing! 👊🏾
Great comparison, thanks!
What bike park is this?
Thanks! A lot of the footy was from Skypark at Santa’s Village.
Great video! I'm seriously torn between these two cameras. I ride an ebike as my weekly commuter, and I just need a camera for safety purposes, so I suppose either would do fine. But I'm really leaning towards the gopro 10.
I think if it's for safety purposes, the DJI Osmo Action 4 is a better choice. The HERO12 with Enduro Batteries has gotten better with battery life, but just talking battery life, the Osmo Action 4 still has it beat.
What editing software do u use?
Adobe Premiere Pro.
What about over heating? My Go Pro over heats constantly. I've tried everything from super fast high quality memory cards to lowering my settings. I hear the Hero 11 over heats more then any Go Pro ever. Does the DJI over heat as often?
Interesting. I've never had issues with overheating with my GoPro. But yeah...neither camera had any heat issues.
it must have been propaganda, because hero 11 is the most stable camera since hero 4. Many reviewers and users of many generations of gopros talk about it.
@@xXadambXx No it's not a propaganda. My fiend and I bought it for our moto adventures travels and after 3 months of use we sold them. Overheating and stop recording, glinching were some of the causes. Now I have used osmo 3 action for 6 months and everything is fine. Yes, gopro has a better dynamic range and slightly overall better footage, but everything can be be fixed in post edit. For me who travels with my bike and makes so many road trips filming the routes and the points I stop, durability and battery life is a matter of primary importance. Also most reviewers on youtube mention all these issues with the gopro as well as the oa3 focus issue. Βy the way I didn't face this focus issue with my oa3. Maybe I was lucky buying from the lots that didn't have the problem.
I totally dig where you're coming from. Use the kit that fits.
I haven't had overheating issues with the GoPro, but I mostly run it while riding the bike. I did actually have the OA3 overheat once, but it was while vlogging with the camera mounted on the dash of the truck, so it was a bit of a harsh scenario.
As far as image, I'm currently editing a bunch of OA3 footage, and no amount of post processing can fix a loss of image information. When the highlights get blown out and the shadows get crushed, there's no image data to grade.
Now, the lower image quality probably won't take away from the overall story in that video. But I was logging my GoPro 11 footage from this last weekend, and wow is the image quality ever better. I really liked the convenience of the OA3, but I think I'm going back to the GoPro with all its issues just for the higher image quality.
@@mtb_alan Ιf you're referring to me, I'm from Greece which is generally a warm country and especially in summer months, but my worst experience with overheating happened during my trip to Norway in July and you wouldn't even call it a warm country. On the other hand, I didn't even think taking gopro with me to the Greek islands with a temperature from 30 to 40 degrees of Celsius.
great review! I use the Hero9 black, haven't had a reason to upgrade yet... i am considering the DJI action 3
Thanks! Hope this helps.
What about external MIC (Wired and Wireless) set up?
A couple other MTB Yoobers like NRML MTBER and Bobo covered that.
Thanks man.
Regards from Brazil.
No problem.
Hi! 👋🏾
It's not a glitch. You just didn't press it hard enough.
idk if you heard it. but he definitely pressed it the first time and it clicked.
Savage
@@melparayno21 rather deal with that then my GoPro randomly shutting down or saying my sd card is not present or Wi-Fi disconnecting mid media transfer or just overheating in hot summer bike park days and battery lasting 1 hour I got a GoPro 11 and a 360 max
Oh man!!
Disk defragging!!!
The good ol’ days 😂
Brilliant comparison, bro👊🏻
H.A.R.D. 🤙🏻
😆💾👊🏾
I am a little surprised you said the GoPro had the better image, I have gotten the exact opposite feedback. Even in the two examples you showed the DJI footage looked much better(to me anyway)
The GoPro footage objectively has more detail and a better dynamic range. The DJI is more contrasty and punchy. But as you say, you like the DJI better, and that's valid. I think both cameras do a solid job, but there's a lot to be said for personal preference. 🙂
I am considering a more in-depth look at just the footage comparison. I might do some filming using the DJI's "pro" settings.
@@mtb_alan Did you find a difference in production time between the two when editing from a desktop?
@@BadLineMTB I am assuming you mean post-production. good question. I talked about it in the extended members-only version. No difference in post-production.
On the Action 3, I'm wondering if you downloaded their latest firmware that was release a few weeks ago? If so, perhaps that's causing the power button issue? So far I've had mine since December and I haven't had any issues and I'm loving it. Great video!
Ah yes...that's the thing. We could have the same conversation about the GoPro. I've seen all different frequencies of glitches on GoPros from none to too many and across a span of generations, firmware updates, microSD cards, etc. It's an electronic device. It's gonna buzz-crckcht sometimes. 🤷🏾♂️
I want to buy an Action 3 but they are sold out everywhere. Ordered right from dji and got and expected ship date of july15th. Ugh
Dag.
Hey bro i think when you talked about the action 3 glitching when you hit the record and took you 3 times i think that is unfair you were holding the osmo 3 upside down and that could have conflicted the gyro sensor great riding shit i wish i could do that but hitting some of those berms work make me. Packing some tp lol
Great vid! Which wind muffs do you use for the GoPro?
I use the little 3/4" Micover things. I have to cut one in half for the mix under the lens.

GoPro 12 vs dji 4 comparison ?
I prefer the GoPro 12.
what trail park are you at 8:00?
This is Skypark at Santa's Village. See here: ua-cam.com/video/dIOG9LMfCco/v-deo.html
@@mtb_alan Thanks, I've not hit up any of the parks up in big bear but I'm trying to get out to summit either wed or thur this week. I'd like to try skypark but I feel like to want to wait for some rain first so I have good dirt like in this video. I so tired of dry and sandy in socal
@@rojoracing53 it just dumped in Big Bear. Not sure but I’m guessing Skypark got rain too.
Please sir in the future if you do happen to do product reviewers always i mean always mention what type of memory card is best for what type of footage you're shooting at it is a super important key point that many many youtubers miss. Over 50 videos i watched not a single person said. This is the correct SD card most people just do the' This is where the memory card slot is and that's it LOL just a friendly tip. ty
Location of the memory slot is pretty straightforward and instructions for that come with the camera.
As far as what card, everyone has their own choice, but for your benefit, I use a
SanDisk Extreme Pro MicroSD with a capacity of at least 128GB and as large as 512GB.
@@mtb_alan Lets go that's what i like to hear appreciate it
Men your driving is crazy. I panicked only looking on this via my living room. Both image quality is smooshed and fail to keep your intense rate
Your voice sounds like you went to a rock concert last night. Great video anyway.
😆🤘🏾
Love the disclaimer but rarely-if ever have I seen a review or campion that doesn’t side with the sponsor or “freebie”.
I didn't side with DJI. I made it clear that the Action 3 matches a particular mindset..one that is not mine.
And to be clear, they are not a sponsor. And it ain't a freebie. A few hundred bucks of camera gear is far below any reasonable compensation for the skills, gear, and hours put into a detailed review.
But here's a bit of insight into how I operate. I start by ensuring that the brand knows that their product is NOT compensation since I can't review it if I don't have it.
And if I don't like a product, I let the brand know that I won't plan to do a review on it. I don't enjoy making content about stuff I don't like. And doing so takes time away from making content about stuff I do like. It's more valuable to share stuff that my audience might actually want.
Believe me, I have a lot of cameras and kit sitting on shelves whose reviews will never see the light of day because I thought the product wasn't good.
I feel it's a cheap move to spend time saying something is crap. Nobody benefits from that unless there's some sort of safety concern that people need to know about.
Looks like that was a GoPro 10, why did you not compare it to the GoPro 11? The reframing alone makes it much better not to mention the stabilization is also improved
I don’t own an 11. 🤷🏽
Lol “hit stuff” hear that 🤙🏻
like, you shared awesome masterpiece-dear! ;))
🤘🏾
I'm thinking about choosing dji OA3 or hero 11. Complicated menu is not a problem for me (I use sony a74 on a daily work, so 😂), but the significant difference in dynamic range and more details in the video makes me not know whether to take the risk and buy a dji, but I'm afraid of being disappointed. I have been using the sony x3000 for years and its strongest points are the colors, a lot of details even at night, but it is old, stabilization not good, I want something new 🙂Great channel, I will be visiting it intensively from now on 😅
I think coming from the X3000, you're gonna be happy with either the DJI or the Hero 11.
FWIW, I am planning to do some tests with the OA3 with its "pro" settings and see how the compares.
@@mtb_alan I'm interested to see your "pro" settings comparison! @SuspensionTraveler did a video a couple days ago going through the settings on the DJI comparing it to the Hero 11. He has links to all his settings in the description. I hope that helps kick start your review
Thanks!
So they gave you a free camera and you expect us to believe you’re not bias lol 😂 yeah okay …
I am worthy enough of trust to not need yours.
I was thinking the same thing. 😅
Hahahaha the answer is we dont know but likenthe dji xP
We need a wireless remote control for it ... I bought GoPro 11 just because of that reason... it's very convenient 😢
Good point. 👌🏾
You lose me at magnetic parts. After loosing and having to find my GoPro 10 when it came off the magnetic mount That came with my helmet. I will take more durability and security any day.
I hear you. FWIW, the magnet is partly there to make it easier to align the clips.
hey man I love ur videos but what’s up with your nails?!?
Why do you ask?
gopro quality looks so much better
🤘🏾
Glitches are NOT acceptable. Its not normal. GOPRO sucks hard, they abadom stuff to get money for "vew"version. Never updating their older (obsolete) model. Terrible behavior!!!
May you find technological nirvana.
I’m not sponsored by go pro or Dji. I back go pro. I own all the go pros. Been through every bad thing on thing and learned how to fix them. Why Dji is being a threat kinda new to action cam but not really. They have the drone the phantom it came with a camera so they have knowledge. However. To me go pro is the way. From 5 to 8 batteries are the same 9 to 11 same battery. The different on eyes. Dji has more glass to break. I’m just a go pro user but again go pro to me the camera has been bashed thrown ran over. Crash in cars on bikes. On drones. Try the Dji in the same settings. Would it last. …you could go on n on about which is better. But it just depends on what people can afford. And like. I have a friend still using a go pro 4.
🤘🏾
Love how detailed the review is! really seems like you have spent time with both of them and compared all the specs and features. I am still running my HERO 7 black and and will wait for it to die before I think about an upgrade lol. Subbed.
Thanks for the sub!
The 7 is a solid machine!
Did you use the DJI app at all? I'm curious how it compares to the GoPro app. I'm a huge fan of the GoPro cloud, and I don't know if I would consider switching unless the other camera/app had something similar in place. Thanks for the awesome breakdown!
I haven't used the DJI app. I do all my editing on desktop.
But I've heard the DJI app is pretty good.
I prefer the app much more than GoPro, but I use it for a different audience than you do. The AI editor for making quick shorts is amazing, though.
As a matter of principle, I'd rather support the American based company rather than a Chinese based company who likely "acquired" the IP and technology from the former
I don't know about any IP theft, but I hear what you're saying about supporting US based companies.
How do you suppose they’re even getting the IP? And how do you suppose the IP even helps them?
@@ethanrevitch it's more of a guess since IP theft is rampant in the tech sectors. I personally know many principles who have told me this has been a problem for years- they set up plants in China, then the plants simply stop making the products for them and sell them under their own brand (typically flagship products), leaving the companies without recourse. These companies are so fully invested that they just accept the loss as cost of doing business. A locally based national window manufacturer I know just closed shop for this same reason
@@rowenhorner7353 I don’t fully disagree with you. I have supported DJI and GoPro for years. I’d say someone needs to break it down and look at every individual piece.
@@rowenhorner7353 I agree that IP theft is a real thing and that it's good to support US companies. In this case though, we're speculating. Without any specific info, IP theft is not relevant to a discussion about DJI.
Best review! Honestly like the coloring of the GoPro better. But color correcting in editing is a thing so…great job!
Thanks! Glad you dug it.
Yeah...funny how things are nicer when you work for it. :)
3 grams is a lot in cocaine
You're not wrong.
