DJI Osmo Action 4: bit.ly/3qbgtHT
Here is a collection of 19 tips and tricks for the new DJI Osmo Action 4. This a great way to learn about common functionality and settings you should know about if you are new to the Osmo Action 4 or if you are migrating over from a GoPro. The DJI Osmo Action 4 is one of the best action cameras available right now in my opinion and a great choice for those looking to purchase their very first action camera.

Good and helpful video Shawn. Just taken delivery of mine to upgrade from the OA3. Is just a shame that the ND lens screw mount does not allow the ones i had for the OA3 to be used. Will need to buy a full replacement set! Both cameras look the same except for the lens filter screw size. A very marginal difference. Hadn't picked that up before.

Very nice tips! I was unsure whether I should watch yet another OA4 video explaining how to set resolution, framerate and other basic stuff ... because it's rather self-explanatory. But instead this turned out to be quite useful. I tend to never read manuals, so I would have missed changing the screen off time while recording ... Thanks!

Thank you, perfect video. Can I ask you? Time 8:40 Noise reduction. What does it mean this function?

@RobinHoller 4 ай бұрын

It's related to the reduction of image noise (due to low light and high sensitivity of the sensor), not related to audio, if that's what you are unsure about. With current firmware, the noise reduction is settable in the same [-2,+2] range as the sharpness. It's a matter of taste, I chose -2 for sharpness and -1 for NR.

I just want to add that nothing is "water proof" they are water RESISTANT up to 60ft (18m) only if the lens cap is on tight and battery door shut properly. any deeper you need the dive case that is good for 197ft (60m) if I remember the numbers correct. Main point is some people get confused due to marketing saying water proof or water resistant and not making a standard saying and causing people to damage equipment due to negligence of actual manual reading for products. Over all great review and enjoy the videos, they are super helpful.

@CowpotePodcast62 5 ай бұрын

Hello I just bought the camera. I like it, how do you keep the screen on the whole time? Why you are videoing so it doesn't go black. I mean so I can be doing my videos, I mainly do it for my KZfaq channel. I love the camera and my also, my GoPro channel. I want to keep the screen on while I am videoing without having to touch. It is your way you can do that. Thank you

Rocksteady plus will give you an extra layer of stabilization little smoother, but it is more Cropped in. Most of the time I use just regular rocksteady I find it works very well.

I returned back my djji Osmo pocket 3 and purchased dji Osmo action 4 instead which is much more versatile, does the same things as Osmo pocket 3 AND MORE and it is also WATERPROOF which is a huge deal for me as I do a lot of underwater filming as well. I am also not a big fan of the mechanical gimbal on a handheld camera because it doesn't seem to follow well all the time and it is too fragile. I would recommend the Dji Osmo ACTION 4 adventure package! It's cheaper than Pocket 3 and offers lot more! I it is just a better deal all around!
