External Audio??? Can a lavalier mic plug right in and work via the usb c or do I need to purchase the DJI equivalent of the gopro mic adapter brick that NEVER works??

@@gromzen Yup, with their adapter. I cover it around the 5:50 marker. :)

@@Dcrainmaker You spoke about needing an adapter, however it not being available... does this mean we will have the same issue with the Gopro? a massive adapter that is $50 a pop and works 50% of the time? I heard you say it will be smaller but contacting DJI they literally were unable to give me any info on said "adapter"

Gromzen I talked to the DJI folks in charge of the adapter and they said it should be pretty similar to the OSMO Pocket adapter (which is tiny, but also hard and non flexible). So we’ll have to wait and see...

@@Dcrainmaker and no idea on release date? All I received was a bunch of "I don't knows" from local store and DJI main number.

Thanks, much appreciated!

Thanks - appreciate it!!!

Thanks - I really appreciate it!!!

Agreed.. watched a whole bunch of them.. this is the most grounded and least "hype-trainy" one so far.. thanks.

Indeed, hands down the best overview, no nonsense

Thanks!!!

Stjepan Antivo Ivica im agree 👏🤘

Thanks! I just call it like it is.

Christopher Hall 1 min in and I'm already drunk :/

yeah, but RX0 2 has terrible stabilization.

Thanks, appreciate it!

Thanks, appreciate it!

Thanks, I appreciate it!

L Backer This is a show stopping limitation of the Osmo Action.

@Leila Rose Asselin I am happy with it. Still, I probably would go for a Hero 9 now.

Thanks!!!

Thanks - appreciate it! I agree, they're pretty similiar in most cases for stabilization. Some quirks on both, but pretty close.

same problem here

Thanks Anthony - glad it was helpful!

Thanks!

Hero 8 already baked in design....so too late to "respond" to OSMO. They're probably all pretty bummed over at GoPro right now, realizing they've been one-upped for the next year at least.

@@lynnewheldenthat is true they better have thought ahead on the Hero 8. If the changes are minor Hero is in trouble. We shall soon find out.

@@lynnewhelden if you don't think big companies like GoPro don't have inklings of what their competitors are making long before those competitors announce them, you are wrong. GoPro knows what is in this camera and has for a long time. In fact DJI announcing the Osmo Action NOW as opposed to in later summer / early fall for the holidays is perhaps due to them KNOWING the Hero 8 will best their Osmo Action and them wanting the Osmo Action to instead be compared to the Hero 7 at launch. Look, GoPro has NOT performed well for years, the Hero7 was their first good update in many years, and DJI is a formidable competitor that may well be the death knell for GoPro as a company but I wouldn't write off the future of GoPro automatically just because the Osmo Action came out with a front screen 4 months before we find out about a new Hero camera.

David Corsi ☝️ I agree. I would not be surprised if the executives of both organizations agreed with each other on each other’s release dates. May even be strategizing together on their future similar products so that each product has distinct better qualities in different ways.

Thanks Roberto!

Thanks!!!

Thanks - much appreciated!!!

DJI had it on their OSMO series long before GoPro, so I guess Yes.

@@vivealexcheng the answer is NO... not at launch. Just regular time-lapse that needs the camera to be kept on a tripod. They have provided beta software to reviewers like DCRainmaker that has hyperlapse just like Hero7 but it won't come out till sometime after launch and appears to be limited to 2.7k/30 not the 4k that GoPro allows but the results appear very similar to GoPro in the beta so the assumption is you won't have to wait long as it appears to be near ready for release.

Thanks!

Yeah, I’ve been testing Hyperlapse and so far mostly so good (on Action). Hoping for 4K transfers soon, it really is bad to not have it.

Thanks, much appreciated!

Yeah, just not enough time in the day to cover some of the smaller nuances I unfortunately. Would have loved to dive into lack of GPS, overlays, live streaming and plenty more...but was trying to keep video to watchable length. Cheers!

@@Dcrainmaker Thanks for the reply! No worries! Keep up the good work!

Thanks, appreciate it!

Why would you want that?

@@gamingvariation1323 i'm presuming it's to have that movie/cinema feel to the video.

Thanks!!!

Haha..thanks - me too!

👆🏻 That. 👆🏻

The stabilization looks much better and front screen is so good to have, what makes the H7 better ?

So, by the time DJI gets the firmware up to speed with HERO7 the HERO8 will be out (September 2019).

@@customrd Front screen = vulnerable glass. What happens after it gets cracked (hence the reason for the replaceable protective lens)? It's not touch screen, pauses video for 4 seconds when switching from back, and.... Who looks at the front of an Action Camera? When mounted, you can't see it. Oh, for vlogging? There are many cameras much better for vlogging.

DANIEL Rogness I find it extremely useful for framing. I had many occasions where I eyeballed the framing and wasn’t super pleased with it eventually. Examples :mounting on the car dashboard, a canoe, snowboard, top shelf to get an overall view of a room, b camera placement if there s a wall or you can get behind the camera to frame. (Yea you can use the app with gopro but it kills the battery life)

There will be a something released either by DJI or aftermarket that we will be able to use with an external mic to mount to.

Just a few more months until GoPro releases their new cameras.

@@JudoSurfer , yeah. That's why I'm waiting. There's no rush to get this camera. the main attraction is the front-facing camera. That's about it.

@@thournheng731 There will not be a Gopro8. The company has just filed for bankrupcy. Hypersmooth looks like crap!

Samnang T , when did they do that? Like, right now right now?

Probably close but hero 8 is on a different league.

Thanks, appreciate it!

Their plan is to, and in fact they included a bunch of information on it. It's just not listed yet for some reason (it was supposed to be at launch).

Thanks - appreciate it!

Likely - given the CEO has noted they plan to do annual release cycles. However, as always - if you plan to do stuff this summer with an action camera, then I'd look at the options on the market today.

@@Dcrainmaker touché

Quite strange release schedule when talking about company like GoPro. Wouldn't releasing stuff like they do make most sense just before summer.

GoPro doesn’t release new Stuff with the customer in mind. They release it with the upcoming „Sale-season“ (Black Friday, Christmas) in mind. But hey,... maybe GoPro 8s Software is debugged right for Summer 2020.

@@MiikaWasHere actually no, they always get the most sales leading into the holiday season for christmas. DJI likely launched now primarily because their new Osmo Action competes well against the Hero7 Black and will get a lot of attention right now while if they too launched for the holiday season it will be facing the Hero8 Black which we have to assume will be more competitive with Osmo Action, perhaps with its own significant advantages and steal quite a bit of press from DJI. To me DJI launched now because the story of their camera is better NOW than come September when the competition makes their own leaps.

Yup, you can remove the door entirely, identical to HERO7 Black. That way you can have something plugged into the unit while in case.

Thanks, appreciate it!

Thanks! Indeed, sometimes it's the little things that make a big difference!

DC Rainmaker didn’t mention gps though?

@@sircoynie It doesn't have it. :(

….and GPS

Yup.

@@Dcrainmaker 2.7k 60fps wide angle? thanks for your reply friend! Thank you so much

@@JpFishingBrasil Wide is all relative on the OSMO Action - but there's no difference in crop between 4K/2.7K/1080p resolutions, however, this is crop when you go to RockSteady enabled (the same on all). There's technically no 'wide' option on the OSMO Action like there is on the GoPro. It just is what it is (whereas you can turn on/off Dewarp to remove the warping).

I actually purchased a 512gb and i was told it only works up to 256gb, so i just bought 256gb cards and 3 extra batteries

@@filipinophreak ohh. I read about that 512 didn’t work. And the better one is 128 so I got the 128gb. Then it works so good. I love to. I used dji osmo action to all my videos.

Yup, and a bit in Finland too. I live in Amsterdam.

Yes..I also think gopro 7 still no1 better dji osmo action

If you already own a Hero 7 stick with it. I've been using GoPros since the Hero 2, 3, and 4 and the Hero Session 5. I'm sick to death of the battery life and reliability issues. So much so I was this close to pushing the button on a Sony and I'm glad I waited for the Osmo Action. I've ordered one and look forward to using it. Hoping it doesn't screw up my footage like the GoPro always does.
