The DJI seemed way better but if they are not side by side I don’t think anyone would really notice. If you have a bunch of GoPro accessories already it would probably be worth just sticking with it instead of having to buy all new accessories.

IMO, Aaron, when you are snorkeling at the surface, the gopro is clearer, better contrast- slightly. As soon as you descend, the Osmo is definitely more realistic in color definition . I don't dive but, to me- I'd go with the Osmo. Nice comparison, Aaron. 😊

Thanks for posting. Very informative. Opened my eyes to sport action video equipment as novice myself. Osmo out performs the Gopro 12 hands down. In battery life and in deeper colors. In my opinion the Gopro is brighter for low light situations. Overheating and battery life did the Gopro in. And not so much the color. Peace!

Thank you so much for this video. After a few minutes of your underwater filming the answer is crystal clear: DJI in my case since I will mainly use it for diving! I have an older dji and they have much better settings for underwater. No idea why GoPro does not add such features. I must be just software. But also the bigger DJI sensor makes a huge difference!
@vytec1234 3 ай бұрын
Having had a drone videography business and having to do the editing / color correction I would definitely prefer the DJI Action 4. It has a much better coloring of the environment and you could easily lighten up the footage if it was a little dark like the shots where your face was shadowed. Having used a lot of DJI drone footage and edited, using the DLOG format makes really great footage and you can easily apply a preset to the footage and you have a lot of dynamic range for correction / creative.

@tommytsadventures 8 ай бұрын
They both have their pros and cons. I think it comes down to personal preference. In my opinion, the OSMO looks better in low level lighting situations and the GoPro looks better in high level lighting. The GoPro batteries do tend to overheat. One of my GoPros got so hot I couldn't even hold it. This could potentially become dangerous if you have one strapped to your chest or head.

Hey Aaron, I watched your video comparing Action 4 to GoPro 12 and Action 3 to GoPro 11. I'm curious if it's valid to compare videos from the same company's products across different years simultaneously. This way, we can assess the potential for upgrading to the newer product. Thanks.
@lizardkeeper100 8 ай бұрын
just in the first shots I noticed that the dynamic range of the action 4 is a lot better and so is the color reproduction. honestly a good color grader could make the shots of the action 4 fit into a movie or documentary very easily the gopro would be a bit harder to manipulate. That being said I like both but I prefer the action 4.

The color is better on the DJI 4 underwater maybe because it has auto white balance. I wish it had better photo resolution so I could enlarge prints because the low MPixels pushes me towards the GP12, then the battery is a big issue so it's hard to decide. Is the hero12 waterproof like the dji 4?

@tladams3272 8 ай бұрын
Since I don’t dive, I’m just a consumer of your videos. I have dabbled in photography so have a bit of understanding. I watch the videos almost exclusively on my iPhone. I agree the color compensation on the Osmo is better but to my eye, the level of edge detail underwater, especially at distance, is better with the Gopro. And with my old eyes and some of the murk you encounter, I need all the detail I can get.
@gmbh24 3 ай бұрын
Bedankt voor het vergelijken van beide camera's. Ben op dit moment aan het kijken welke action cam het beste is. Het zowel voor boven als voor onderwater. Persoonlijk vind ik dat de Gopro 12 boven water mooier en scherper beeld geeft... meer detail. Maar onder water wint de Osmo. Dat maakt voor mij de keuze lastig. Misschien moet ik ze maar beide kopen 😂

This was my question also. I just watched a review than said the GoPro 11 and 12 let you adjust the white balance toward red to bring out the reds at depth. I'm thinking the Osmo is defaulting to that setting of white balance.

Cool comparison. DJI def makes the race interesting. Feature-packed and crazy reliable which means a lot to a guy like Aaron who needs it like he does. On the other hand, there are some pretty serious security concerns surrounding their app and developers of it though as I’ve seen recently. I’m not a tinfoil hat fella by any stretch but security and privacy are important to me. Worth looking into if it’s something that concerns you so you can make your own decision.

I’m four minutes into the video, and I’d go with the Osmo over the GoPro. The former simply has a far better image when you’re underwater doing your thing. I offer this as someone who used work in the movie business for 16 years. Perhaps you can use the GoPro as a backup.

Years ago I studied photography with an Ansel Adams protégé. We used a definitive Gray Scale which used 10 specific gradations from white to black. The Osmo appears to be using that gray scale while the Go Pro appears to be using a digital equalizer (no black black and no white white) instead of a 10 scale it is using an 8 scale therefore, no black and no white. Although you can see more detail with the GoPro its video becomes BORING with a lack of extreme contrast and artistic flare. The colors also suffer because of this.
