DJI Osmo Action 4 Vs GoPro 11 - The Best Bike Camera On The Market?

Рет қаралды 33,258

Күн бұрын

⬇️ Click 4K For Best Viewing Experience: Action Cam's are supposed to be fun and easy to use. However In recent years it feels like they have become more complex, and buggy than ever. Last year DJI brought something really cool to the table with the DJI Osmo Action 3. It seemed to solve many of the issues we have had with action cams overheating or freezing on us, and it offered a few really cool hardware improvements like the mounting interface and battery technology. The only issue we had was that the image quality was still not quite up to par with the GoPro 11. When DJI announced this Osmo Action 4 we were really excited, it claimed to have a bigger sensor, more dynamic range and an overall improved image quality. In this video we will let you see the difference and share our thoughts on whether the Action 4 is the best action cam on the market right now.

I'd go with the DJI just for the larger sensor size. That'll give you better image resolution, dynamic range, and depth of field. The footage in your video looked better than the GoPro -- just look at the blues in the ski, plus the dynamic range in the shadows. All the additional user interface benefits make it a no-brainer IMO. Very nice video and extremely helpful. That's for putting it together.

Kyle, this was seriously one of the best reviews I've ever seen. Pertinent, to the point, and covered all the pros and cons that you would want to know about. Not a lot of filler crap that just extends the video that doesn't really matter. Thank you so much for creating this video. My biggest frustration with GoPro has been all the buggy issues. It's been one thing after another for years and their batteries don't last long at all. When I'm ready for a new camera I think this is the one. Thanks again, you and April keep up the amazing content!

Great deatiled review. I have multiple GoPro's, but I'll now be switching. In the comparison videos the GoPro looks much softer in details and clarity. IMO the ease of mounting with the DJI is a huge deal. The audio is also substantially better, too. You didn't go into it, but not having to use the GoPro media mod, longer battery life, and so many QoL updates makes this the best action camera, IMO.

Really like their general UX and the white balance sensor, which made Action series easier to use. Hope guys at GoPro can wake up and work harder. Competition is always good for users like us.

@JasonFoxLCB 11 ай бұрын

Great test, Kyle. Appreciate it. From a PQ standpoint, it's hard to tell without looking at files directly instead of through the wonderful lens of YT compression/conversion, but I'd give the edge to the DJI in this scenario. The mounting system and UI speed look really, really nice -- especially for someone like me who is still using a Hero 9 (I don't use it enough to justify a new camera every year). Of course, it will be interesting to see what GoPro does with the 12 which is just a few weeks away from release. We'll see if the 1-inch sensor rumors are true. And never apologize for the ebike, says the guy who just bought one. 🙂

@AprilRideMTB 11 ай бұрын

Thanks Jason! Yeah i am excite to see what the Hero 12 brings as well. The KZfaq compression is rough too. To be honest though when looking at the full quality files they look super similar. I would just give the slight edge to GoPro in the low light stabilization but Action 4 is much more enjoyable to use.

@JasonFoxLCB 11 ай бұрын

@@AprilRideMTB At this point, I'll take a little more PQ performance in low light over stabilization. But I'm old and remember when any level of stabilization required gadgets weighing the equivalent of a thousand action cams. And if the performance is 95% there compared to the GoPro, the easy-of-use pushes it over the line.

I love seeing all the competition for GoPro lately. I recently got an Insta360 One RS, as I like the modular design to be able to sometimes be an action cam, and sometimes be a 360 Camera, but I think DJI are doing great things, especially when it comes to the price point of the 3

@AprilRideMTB 11 ай бұрын

Yeah the competition is really fun to see! I am excited to see what insta360 and GoPro bring to the table next. At the end of the day we will keep using the Action 4 for now since its so easy to grab footage with. Im excited to see if the 3 price point drops even more now that the 4 has come out.

@gordon3988 11 ай бұрын

Both looked good…my overall leaning here is the GP only as I thought the stab and colors slightly better (latter is subjective). That said, my use would be more hiking focused so doubt the stab difference would even matter and better low light in forest areas a big plus. Functionally a clear win for the 4. Appreciate the video!

@TheRicardoSanchez 11 ай бұрын

Solid test bro. I like the 4 and definitely an improvement over the 3. Audio best on the 4. Wide field view is better. The physical attributes of the 4 are for sure superior to the GP. Magnetic mounting alone would make me buy the Os over the GP. Would be great to see a good overview of your fave Boise area and other ID trails. What are best blues, blacks, tech, flow, DH, etc?

My first time buying an action cam and since the GP12 release is in the corner, I might as well wait til September to decide which to buy. The thing is, if the GP franchise has no new action cam release for this year, deciding is no brainer-- I'd definitely pick out the OA4 over the H11.

Glad to see the competition putting the heat on GoPro. GoPro build quality sucks balls if you’re the type who has the gall to think expensive equipment should last longer than 3 years. This translates into their batteries that bloat, and their core cases that crack. They would be perfect otherwise - because they have people who have a real passion for quality. Just wish their software team had the same passion for perfection. As for the build quality - that is planned obsolescence for you. Despite me knowing the build quality is doggie doo with GoPro - I’m on my 3rd GoPro now - just because I haven’t found anything better (or the same, but with better longevity). I might look into DJI now…

@AprilRideMTB 11 ай бұрын

Yeah i am so excited as well. I think GoPro had such a big head start on the action cam market that it made it near impossible for someone to come in and actually succeed in that space. Now that DJI has dedicated time and resources to the project, i am really excited to see how GoPro responds. I would love to see a better mounting interface, and maybe an entry level option around $300 and a pro level option around $600-$700 with some cooling technology and a larger sensor. Its definitely true what they say about competition driving innovation though!

The audio improvement is huge. Not sure if anything else is amazing but the audio is great

@AdamJStoryDC 11 ай бұрын

15;42 Exactly. I have an Osmo Action Camera and the adapter for the audio fits "somewhat loosely" into the side of the camera. Unfortunately, sometimes it gets a wee-bit loose and then the mic no longer works. Thus, when I'm using it, I have to squeeze the mic to the camera and make sure I see the little mic icon before I start talking. Frustrating. Does this new Action 4 have that same issue? Does the mic adapter stay in place despite (for example) riding a bike over rough roads? In a perfect world, you wouldn't need an adapter...the camera's own mic would be enough. I'm always curious how some people get great audio and then realize that they are wearing a mic adapter. The frustrating part is that it's hard to be spontaneous with the camera and get good audio.

Bigger sensor does tend to mean larger dynamic range, but DJI and insta360 also tend to have a more open aperture so they do better in various light conditions but might still get blown out going directly in to the sun. At 3:10 going in to the sun they look pretty equal which is nice because that's where previous Actions suffer.

You shoot action 4 & go pro 11 with no overheat issu?

@GhislainLeduc 11 ай бұрын

I think the dJI is now my favorite camera. I'll buy it for XMas in combo with my GoPro Hero 9. Writing this comment before the end of the video, hope you'll talk about the battery life ahahha

What software can you use to edit the DJI footage? does it comes with one that could show the GPS speed, altitude etc ? So stupid that GoPro removed that... Quick error in the editing btw :) You talked about the GoPro battery but then you insert a battery in the DJI hehehe So good comment regarding the Bluetooth connexion. Also, very sad to hear your heart is still not healed fully, I wish you all the best!

Did you get paid or gifted cameras for promotion? I still noticed a shade issue with the A4 though it is improving. Also, this explains what I've been seeing in some other videos in low lighting. But I have to admit, the color is brighter on the A4.

What's the main camera that you're shooting on 2:00?

Excellent video 👍 I'm really tired of gopro cameras myself. I guess it's time to try something else 🤔

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! They are really fun to play around with and the slomo capability is awesome

KZfaq compression doesn't do it justice but if we compare A3 and A4, it's a big improvement. As for Gopro comparison, A4 did a better job on the colour and audio side, the rest are at par w/each other, heck, Action 4 has more detail on the shadows because of the colour production.

@AprilRideMTB 11 ай бұрын

Yeah they are super similar and i bet almost no-one would really notice if you used one over the other haha.

Well I’m sold. Os4 for the win

@mallias2683 11 ай бұрын

Thank you for the excellent comparison. Audio so much better in Action 4. Also I have noticed that Gopro does not handle that good direct sunlight on the footage. So much lens artifacts. The Action 4 was much better in this situation. Very informative video. keep it up!

@andrewblackburn1426 11 ай бұрын

I noticed both of these as well - much less wind noise on the Action 4, and much better control of lens flare than the GoPro. Noticed that on several of these comparison videos now.

@andrewblackburn1426 11 ай бұрын

The Action 4 also outdoes the Action 3 for lens flare control.

How did you get that bike so silent?! Bike check video pls..

No matter how good either actioncam performs, if you go fast the youtube video-compression kills it anyway

I paused this at 9:42 before I hear your comments...... If you go back to the DJI3 review you did, I generally thought that was better than the GP11. This DJI4 is WAY better, IMO. The sound is clearly superior to the GP (with or without windbloc). The colors are better (but I have a caveat.....what does better mean? Does it look more colorful? Yes the DJI4 has superior color thus far in the video.....BUT.....(and does this matter)...Is it what you saw with your eyes??? (So is it colorful for colorful sake, or is it more realistic). I certainly think the up-close detail in the trail surface is better with the DJI4. I think the overall smoothness of the video capture is pretty similar, though the DJI seems to have better edgework if you, as a viewer, are watching the detail that is closer to the rider (I've always felt the GP was kind of blurry in this area).......In the grand scheme of things, you probably can't go wrong with what ever you choose. You're gonna have to make some "fixes" in editing no matter what. Go with what you think is best and just worry about continuing to provide the great content you do!!! (If you ever pass through St. Louis and need an easy, old man ride, let me know!!! We have some fun trails in the area) Edit - After your comments - I'm shocked that DJI did not Bluetooth enable this camera to work with their own mic!!!! I agree.....That would be the game changer at this point. (I see your concern with some of the stabilization. But, I really didn't notice it watch the first run through of this video)

@pmcmpc 11 ай бұрын

Hopefully they can fix the shadow / dappled sunlight stabilization in patches. But I'm sceptical. It's a shame, because otherwise this looks great.

@AprilRideMTB 11 ай бұрын

Yeah i'm really hopeful too! The hypersmooth is so good that it will be hard to compete with. The DJI sensor does go up to 12800 iso though so hopefully with that EIS priority mode they will be able to fine tune things a bit more too.

@kellyfrom98 11 ай бұрын

Action 4 is way better than GoPro in the video IMO.

@AprilRideMTB 11 ай бұрын

Thats awesome to hear!

@Fiztex553 11 ай бұрын

Action 4 is much better at video and audio quality. Video compression, colors, mic wind protection are much better than GoPro, even with KZfaq compression. It's quite obvious that a bigger CCD will give you that image quality, but it's a bit harder to stabilise. Still think that a final result after editing will be better than GoPro.

@RealMTBAddict 11 ай бұрын

Nope

@AprilRideMTB 11 ай бұрын

yeah i think the audio is significantly better and the video looks just as good if not 5% or so better. We have been really impressed and honestly just as long as it doesn't over heat and have bugs that alone makes it worth it for us!
