Thank for this video Jordan, you talk at a nice pace without being fast. I have watched quite a few reviews of the Action 4 camera and they’re mostly American people and found they talk way too fast. I recently bought this camera for POV Surfing and have had the battery die without realising during my surfs as I was recording in 4k then the same thing happened in 2.4k. Someone recommended to me to record in 1080p to get more battery life in which I am yet to try. Hopefully this will help me get more footage of me surfing.

I looked at many videos about the Action 4 and THIS is the one I needed! Thanks! Only thing I'm not clear on: Do I have to format the SD card before recording the first video (or photo)? Or format it afterward? Is it easy to find the formatting option on the settings screen? I had a cheap dash cam once and never got it to work, I think because I couldn't get the card formatted properly.

Thanks heaps Jordan. My DJI Osmo Action 4 arrived today and as a newbie, this video made it so easy to set up and to find my way around this camera. It would have been so much harder to have accomplished with the few brief pointers DJI offer in their little paper fold-out. And though you’re Kindle guide to this new camera on Amazon won’t be available for another 3 whole months (November 15th), I’ll buy it if for some reason I haven’t got to know my DJI OA4 by then. But thanks once again for a very informative video 😊👍

@JordanHetrick 9 ай бұрын

Thank you! I will have to test it out some more under LED lighting, but I have had really great results so far with very minimal banding even in low light. And, yes, the lower fps you use, the better results you will get in low light.

Make sure your phone permits downloading files that are not supported. You need more than 5gb storage left on your phone. Once installed the app will delete the apk file automatically.
