No matter what camera you use, there are a few easy ways to make the most boring location look cinematic, even if you’re a complete beginner. See how kzfaq.info/get/bejne/itmfl8uWnc61qqc.html

Yesterday, I bought the Action 3 adventure pack and came home, happy with my purchase. Then I watched your video. I hadn't broken the sealed wrapper on the package, so I went straight back to the shop this morning and upgraded to the Action 4 pack. When I'm riding my bike or running, I'm going between bright daylight and shadow, and what made my mind up was the huge difference in low light performance that you show in the video. One other point I learned is that the GPS remote control only works with the Action 4. Thanks very much. I would have been really unhappy if I'd seen your video only after I'd opened the package.

@TamaraGabrielUK Ай бұрын

There’s nothing like that feeling of buying something and then realising that you made the wrong choice and can’t take it back, so I’m glad the video helped in time 🙌🏾

I got the action 3 at the beginning of the summer and I am very happy with it for my first action camera that I use on the motorcycle .. I will wait to next spring and see if I need to upgrade, I find that they put almost 2 upgrade a year maybe I will wait for action 5. I am looking at the set-up for the audio and the action 3 is ok , even under the helmet with a 3.5 micro adapter , good comparation and video .

Thanks for this side-by-side comparison. My assessment of how these 2 action cams compared is identical to yours. I still happily use my DJI Osmo Action 1 and for my purposes it's not given me enough reason to abandon it for an upgrade just yet. But, if/when that time comes, it'll be to the Osmo Action 4 of course. Well done. Liked and subscribed.

@IsomPhilips 10 ай бұрын

Seems to me adding sharpness & noise reduction settings would be an easy firmware update for the Action 3 and I hope DJI will do this in the future. I was really impressed with the low light footage on the Action 4 and if money was no object I would probably upgrade but for now I'm happy with the Action 3

@thewellbeingc9258 9 ай бұрын

don't forget that the physical sensor is bigger on the action 4 than 3 which helps in low light conditions (the pixel size is bigger for action 4 and it collects more light)

Great review, many thanks. After 2 years I’ve started to have memory card issues with my Osmo pocket 2 and so I’m in the market for a new camera. I can’t believe DJI made the new Osmo pocket 3 without any water resistance 🤦🏻‍♂️ Because of that I was debating on the Action 3 & 4. Your nighttime footage has just sold the 4 to me, so thanks very much. Have a great day 😊👍🏼

Thank you! Regarding the sound, wind noise in particular, do you think the action 4 can be improved by adding some foam at the mics holles? Because from what I've seen on other videos, with bikes and speed, the action 4 captures horrible wind noise compared to action 3. Fact mentioned repeatedly in the comments of those videos as well. I'll be using it in high speed applications and this is the single puzzle I have regarding which one to choose.

As for what I thought about the shots in the beginning of this video, I actually thought camera 2 was the Action 4, and the reason was because it produced a brighter image, although I didn't notice much of a difference in the sharpness/detail. Thanks again for the video.

I haven't been using the normal colour mode but the 4 seems a lot better with that in your example. The new feature to pre-record/cache up to one minute is quite good I was using it to catch lightning the other evening. Audio seems noticeably better. This video does show the Action 3 is still pretty good though.

I have both of them, along with the mic and 3 of their drones. Really amazed at the quality of video in 4k that can soon be viewed on KZfaq, without the waiting that used to be had. The closeness of the cameras in some scenes had me fooled and I got the camera 1& 2 wrong. Was only on reviewing that I realised that I'd been lulled into a rash decision. Not got around to using the D-cine and then grading. Maybe when the Grandson who is at college doing media studies comes here, we can do some tests. Love the way you do your analysis. Best Dave

I actually think I preferred the look of 3's daytime shots in ur vid but the low light improvements really are pushing me in 4's direction!! Although kinda bummed that I'm even entertaining the prospect given that I only became a 3 owner a couple of months ago before losing the b*****d within weeks!!! Maybe I'll hold out for the 5 and pray to god it's geo-taggable 😅🙏 #idontdeservenicethings

Great review! I was thinking about upgrading to an action 4 today, but to be honest your information has answered that question - specifically no, I'm not going to see much difference! I do a lot of filming from my bike, and I've found the HDR mode on the action 3 isn't that great for this, it shows a lot of grain in shadows that isn't there in D-Cinelike. Really pleased with the results of the Action 3 with Rode Wireless go 2 mic's.
