DJI Action 4 vs GoPro • Which is BETTER for WATERSPORTS & UNDERWATER Footage 🌊

Рет қаралды 1,696

Күн бұрын

DJI asked me to review their flagship action camera (Osmo Action 4) in this video I put it to an unbiased test against the GoPro 12 on several ocean adventures • Freediving, SUP Paddleboarding, Kayaking & from a Boat 🛥️ its good for 60m deep with the diving case and 18m without! The underwater footage is phenomenal comparing to the insta360 One X3 and GoPro 12! What do you think to the magnetic mounting system? Is this the Action camera to dethrone GoPro 🌊😎👍

Which footage did you prefer on the side by side? GoPro vs Action 4

@OliT06-jd7fs Ай бұрын

Action 4 looks great

@BLACKBOGUSDOG Ай бұрын

The action looked phenomenal under water. Best review of the Action 4 i have seen, im still rocking a Gopro 10 might get me a Action 4 now.

Looking at the price it’s very similar when you get a combo pack, cheapest I can see is £280 on Amazon cam only with a few attachments

I think if I was to choose between the two, I'd go for the Action 4. I'm actually glad that I didn't buy a Gopro now, particularly as I have been mulling over it for a few years. The Action 4 seems to depict natural colours significantly better than the Go pro, it looks robust, I like the quick-change mount and battery-life is superior!

Nice video, the cameras looked pretty similar until you did the underwater test then the action 4 seemed a lot better, that water looked so inviting in this hot weather.

I recently switched from a GoPro to the action 4. Really nice build quality and UI is nicer than the GoPro IMO. Great camera for freediving too.. Takes nice footage and the colours seem much nicer. I really like the magnetic mounting system too but i havent used it much as it is always in a dive housing! Battery life and reliability so far has been great too.. Its not randomly freezed up on me in the water thats for sure!! I'm sure other GoPro users are familiar with that! 😅 Great comparison vid! Cheers!!

Cheers Matt, I agree I had no idea how much difference there would be from a GoPro, I was always happy with the footage but once you see it you can’t unsee it 😬

@OceanicMatt Ай бұрын

@AirbornePirates So good, I'm going to stick with DJI for now! I upgraded from a hero 7 so it was a massive improvement for me. Do you get to keep the camera? Also, liked your little transition from civvies into wetsuit! Almost didn't even notice 😅

The action 4 looks awesome mate, fed up of my go pro having problems. Think i may have to invest in one of these. Great honest and fair review 👍

Ps what mic do you use

@AirbornePirates Ай бұрын

Defo mate! Its better than the GoPro 12 in my opinion, reliability is key isn’t it

@welshadventurer4639 Ай бұрын

@AirbornePirates For sure reliability is the key buddy, nothing worse than filming then the footage is corrupt 🙈

Looks much better to me... If I have a pound for everytime I heard a KZfaqr complain about GoPros losing footage or overheating.. I'd be a rich man ;-)

Awesome bro. Do you ever use ND filters?

@AirbornePirates Ай бұрын

I’ve got them but never used them. Good for motion blur ?

@AirbornePirates thanks mate, hope you're getting commission! Just ordered it, get some quality into my own channel! Love yours by the way, one of my favourites actually so keep up the excellent work pal 👍

I love the camera, main issue was with the underwater housing, leaking through the port, nothing a bit of epoxy resin did not sort out. Mind many GoPro housings I have had did the same. Really impressed with the underwater quality though.

@AirbornePirates Ай бұрын

Cheers Simon, I didn’t get any leakage issues (yet) but that’s great to know! Thanks
