When you make a comparison video can you stop switching the camera sides in the video. Keep one Camera on the left side and the other on the right. And stick with that. Don't keep changing sides. It disrupts the flow of your video.

The very few times we can see tech-youtubers exercise, is when a new action camera is released.

DJI could win by simply including a 3.5mm jack

i own a gopro hero 7 black and i can guarantee that the video is much better than what it shows on your videos, there might be something wrong with your gopro.

Your gopro image is so soft, that is not like what comes out of mine or any other I've seen! Either you had a greasy lens or more likely that ND you put on is rubbish

3 things I noticed right away - 1) the GoPro footage appears soft 2) the color of the Osmo looks washed out 3) the stabilization of the Osmo background image is stable. Very cool camera!

Do a comparison of pocket, 7black, rx0ii and osmo action for low light scenarios.

Great and detailed review and NOTHING to complain ;) Rocksteady mode is really amazing! Can't wait to test it out - my Action will be here on Monday, if the tracking information is right :) Thanks for sharing!!

MUCH sharper image coming out of the Osmo Action. Stabilization also looks slightly better on the Osmo, looking at the background. DJI seems to have mostly nailed it.

Really nice but too much on par with the go Pro 7. I think I will wait and see who upgrades to a 1 inch sensor first. And then I will go with that. Until then my I phone x does just fine. Thanks

It would be cool to see the OSMO Action vs OSMO Pocket for the travel/daily vlogger. So Hard light, Low light, Workflow, Straight out of camera image, timelapse, audio. It would be interesting to see a video made exclusively with them, and edited on mobile apps too. Like play on Hard mode with no desktop NLE. From pocket to publish.

how come you didnt mention that the DJI don't have timewarp or live video stream? gopro does and that's a big selling point for some/

I have been using the DJI Osmo Action almost daily. The video quality is amazing and the stabilization is excellent. Overall the Osmo is simply better - maybe until the release of GoPro Hero 8.

Thanks for the comparison video, man! Much appreciated as the start of Summer begins!

I understand the hate on the previous video, but this is what could happen when you rush a video and an emabargo is lift and you have to post, you handled it well and responded with 2 awesome videos, nice one!

What do you expect when GoPro7 was out last year September... Of course competitor brands will look into doing it 1000 times better, they had all that time until now right? The thing is, GoPro did it first with an in-camera stabilization.. Hypersmooth and now DJI, Rocksteady (very cool BTW)... I'm not surprised... But I do expect technology to always keep getting better and better... GoPro has been through 7 models to get here... DJI, it's first action camera and working off what's already been done, improving it and giving more... It's easy to go from "1 to 2" ... The hard part and hard work is going from "0 to 1" - Creative term.

Every video I have seen comparing these 2 cameras, I much prefer the look the of Hero 7. Osmo looks colors look dull in every shot. Am I crazy?

Some low light indoor/outdoor footage would be nice

Some of that Hero 7 footage looks very soft and out of focus. Ive never seen GP footage out of focus before. I’m not saying in comparison to the DJI, just that it doesn’t look right.

If I didn’t have to have one for reviews in the snow and snowboarding your review would have made me choose the GoPro easy over the osmo. Unless you had to have a front screen. Great video.

I did some in depth research and I love the osmo but there’s a couple things that stood out to me. the viewfinder is not real-time with EIS on(lag that makes tracking action difficult), no hdmi out for quick plug and play to TVs, EIS crops 20% of image, no EIS with HDR Video, read that the image compression codec results in a lot of lost detail 100mbits/sec looks worse than GoPro’s 78mbits /sec because of this. any uploaded video to phone ends up 1080p or less, regardless of resolution of file.

You made a major error in your testing. The monopod mount was under one of the cameras leaving the other hanging from the horizontal bracket. The hanging one would definitely get more roll .

Could you please do a walking comparison between the Osmo Action and Osmo Pocket. Just simply walking for a minute with the cameras pointing forward to see if the Osmo Action with Rocksteady and Dewarp turned on can compete with the Osmo Pocket in terms of smooth 4K 60fps video - and whether the OA can match the gimbal of the OP.

Awesome stuff - totally nailed this one! don't worry about the other comparison - people are way too entitled ! you hit back with this video 20x harder than you got knocked down for the last! ps - would be cool to see a low light comparison + Dynamic Range ( indoors or night ) Seems the Osmo has artificial in-built sharpening cranked to 11 , so the gopro appears pretty soft but has more Dynamic range + better out of the box colours ? interesting stuff.

How's the GPS, 2.7K/120fps, Hyperlapes, Auto cloud uploading, Instant (Quick) video creation, 30/1 second Burst, and HEVC on Osmo Action?

Thank you for your mistake about Rocksteady on the first video! Now I don’t make same mistake. I like your video so much! Sending tons of love from Japan💕

Great video, In terms of stabilization I only see a great advantage on the dji when running fast, when walking not a real difference imo. I also see a poor image quality on go pro this time, good colours but poor definition. Yesterday I was sure to sell my gp7 because the new rocksteady but today I have my doubts... What do you think? Which wins in stabilization?

I prefer the Gopro because I have one and don't have the osmo :p

DJI: surprise！ Gopro: mother fk, dont touch me

which one we chose for vlog

This looks like a dream vlogging camera!

Good channel guys. Keep up the good work.

From your comparisons, looks like the Osmo Action is the better cam. Thanks for this!

to be honest extra display is not that big of a deal , gopro app offers liveview which is usually better than looking at a half inch screen.

Thanks for the re-make. It would have been great if you didn't use any ND filters on so we could actually get a good idea of colors. I can see the color cast these ND's have in some of the scenes.

So, which do you think is good for me?

I haven't seen much that the Osmo Action beats go pro at.. Image stablization (much greater crop) HDR video (no stabilization and bad color profile out of the camera) No TimeLapse No Wifi No superwide Ability to charge and use external mic at same time??? So on and so on, GoPro Hero 7 Black beats this camera, Oh wait... Soon Hero 8 comes out! Gotta admit that image was sharp, If Dji releases a firmware update giving it a nice color profile and a wider field of view I would be considering this camera.. though I do need long battery life with a external mic.

I'll wait for the Osmo Action 2. . .

Hello....I thought all the tests....were hard to read each text line and then look at the video. Question....With those external filters....will they FIT or NOT FIT....if I buy the underwater housing ? I scuba dive.

Very good comparison. My only complaint is the focus on the GoPro is soft. Seems you "bending" your review on the side of the Osmo Action Camera a bit. I do have a GoPro Hero 7 Black and I have never had a soft focus issue as you've shown here on your comparison video. As for the "Rocksteady" feature: GoPro Hero 7's video clips can be (anyone with editing software can stabilize their clips) stabilized. The plus for GoPro Hero 7 is that the colors are more accurate. In post, the Osmo Action can be color corrected at the expense of time to so. I have nothing against DJI, in fact, I hope their sales volume is profitable, but I'll stay with my GoPro Hero 7 Black.

Why is nobody taking about the GPS and meta data that's missing from the Osmo?

Do you have a Field of View comparison with/without Hypersmooth enabled for the Gopro Hero 7 as well? Just like in this video at 2:20 resp. 5:53 for the DJI Osmo Action, which shows a crop of about 18% when Rocksteady is enabled - on my 1920x1080 monitor the Field of View with Rocksteady enabled is reduced to around 1576x886 and then scaled up again. From the comparison shots I've seen the Hero 7 has a bit less cropped area, but I couldn't find any good FoV shots for the Hero 7 yet as there are in this video for the DJI.

Does the Osmo Action have a "vivid mode?"

With the osmo lag does it effect the audio being synced on an external mic? Maybe that’s why they haven’t talked about a mic adapter because they need to sort the lag out. Does the osmo do 2.7k? Does the rock steady work in all resolutions? The color isn’t as warm on the osmo and needs to be color graded.

do you think the screen lag will be fixed with a firmware update?

I like gp7 1 touch recording and 1 touch to stop/off the device, not necessary to turn it on and off. Same function on dji action ?

Dave- BAM! You killed it on this one! That was a great review & exactly what I was looking for! I loved that you compared the video modes back to back- RS off, RS on, RS + Linear, etc. the GPH7 is my current primary vlogging camera, so I was really interested in seeing an apples to apples comparison. While iPhonedo is SUPER entertaining, I feel like a got a better feel for performance & actual usage & video capture quality from your review. I’m surprised at how soft the GPH7 looks compared to the Osmo Action. I think I’ll be getting one as soon as they release the camera & external mic adapter! Thanks! Oh- & how many takes did the “Peter Piper” line take? That was legit! LOL. Keep up the great work!

Osmo have good stabilization but gopro have good videos

the go pro has warmer tones but otherwise DJI kicks ass

In my opinion gph7 has a better dynamic range but dji is better otherwise, what do you think

Dji is my choice agree no happy about the lag. Update in software may fix it

I disagree that the osmois better over all, but as you said, you're going to use it for vlogging. As a true action cam, i think the 7 black is better from what I've seen. They're both pretty good little cameras though.

Would like to see a detailed comparison about 100mbit h264 osmo vs. 75mbit h265 hero in fast moving action scenes.

Recently I bought the Osmo pocket and I’m wondering do I really need another camera? Review between the two the action and the pocket would be great

Oh yesss that was my exact thought. Would love to see the Osmo Pocket vs. Osmo action. Because I’m really unsure which one to get 🙈😊

Great review. The screen delay on the Osmo would be a big issue for me to keep framing accurate for a moving subject. Is the delay the same in 1080 as it is with 4K? I plan to shoot mostly in 1080 is why I ask. THANKS

As u have mentioned you have got your OSMO Action for over a month. You should have reshot the video with Rocksteady on. So people wouldn’t dislike your first video 😉

People these days judge what they see from smartphones and tablet. Get a computer with a good monitor and you'll easily see that DJI Osmo Action image quality is far better than GoPro 7 Black Edition. GoPro 7 BE is soft compared to DJI Osmo Action

did you notice that when videoing with the gopro 7 for a long time continuing it get hot and when you are outdoors in the sun and turns itself off .i sometime use it as a dash cam and get this problem with the gopro 7

Stabilization is a win for the Osmo. You will need to look at the background of the video to see that it is more stable. Also the GoPro tend to be warmer in color tones. The deciding factor is the front screen. That is something the GoPro can't compete against unless they have one on the new GoPro 8.

THOSE POOR FLOWERS!!

Personally i think go dji osmo is much better than the go pro. New competition has arrive..

GoPro built-in beauty mode. Osmo video has sharper image, better video quality, color science, and detail.

I got a gopro and i am totally satisfied. The dji looks really handy but if you are travelling, keep in mind that its a lot easier to get cheap accessories for your gopro everywhere arround the world

Is it possible to have an external mic? Is there a usb-c adapter or something?

Would love to see a low light comparison indoors. We use GoPros to record live shows for KZfaq and whilst I’m not disappointed with the GoPro, they could definitely be better. I know action cameras are meant to record, well, action, something that had a great low light capability as its speciality would be a boon for the likes of us who want to be able to record our shows and have them deal with some of the more erratic lighting changes from the stage lights. Plus, as we have to set them up and basically leave them to run, the form factor is perfect for us, but the set and forget nature does make it difficult when lights change. Btw, I do appreciate this might be extremely wishful thinking!

Hi, Great comparison. I'm hesitating between the 2 cameras, because I need a large battery and the H7B has the option of the Wasabi Power extended battery, while the Action doesn't. In my planned usage I can't swap batteries.

2:50 why is the go pro blurry af on some videos? too bad i ordered the go pro and now i am stuck with it

Great Video Dave!

Is there an option to decrease the sharpness on the DJI? Looks too artificial...

The Osmo is better for vlogging. But action cameras are made for action. If you’re attaching the camera to your helmet and filming something epic, the GoPro wins hands down. I used my 7 for skiing last winter, and it performed awesomely. The front screen is not necessary.

Super nice review! Hard to choose tho but think I might get a Osmo this Summer :)

Can you do a video detailing the app capability with the osmo action? I use my Sony action cam on my airplane and I’m able to wake it with Bluetooth, it connects to WiFi automatically then I can start recording on all the cameras at once. I haven’t seen any videos detailing if the osmo action is capable of this. Huge deal breaker for me if it can’t.

Looked very complecated turning on that rocksteady ...🤪🤣🤣 We all have ower mondays right

Osmo action crops way more than Gopro... Obviously action will be more stable. Gopro can change field of view narrow, medium, wide, superview and osmo action nothing. Dji failed to convert me from Gopro. + Gopro after sale service is wayyyy better. Love my Mavic Pro though.

No 3.5 jack and no GPS stickers?? Nah I’ll rather be a Hero and forget about my other side. Good video!! Thanks but I still think GoPro is superior and will stick to them.

Do you think I should buy osmo action?

This is strange in this video, gopro had better colors, osmo had natural color and more detail, go pro had better dynamic, osmo sounds better.

What is the optimal setting for the Rocksteady?

Not familiar with osmo, but the interface seems laggy, is the gopro worst than that?

Great and helpful review. Thank you!

Hey dave I was planning to buy my first ever action cam this month for my upcoming ride. Before Osmo action i was damn sure about hero7 but now I'm all confused which one should i buy. Also osmo action is not available yet in India and my ride is in 2 weeks, so what you think should i wait a little for osmo action or should i just buy hero7? Help me, I'm so confused🤯😵

Great comparison,I prefer the video from the Osmo,it has a few kinks to be addressed ,but overall it's better.

Can you record continuously or does it make short videos?

Hello Does the ND filter not affect GOPRO's Hypersmooth?

I was holding out on an action cam as I’ve always found the go pro to be way overpriced for what it is...I don’t want to drop that much for something that won’t be used all the time, since I categorise myself as a casual user. the osmo is bring on the competition, I think that will be my choice to go for. The front screen is a nice touch

Osmo Action can take video live steam ?

Hw mch osmo action does it cost?where to buy?

Contrary to your eye, I find the color science much, much better on the GP7. There are now all kind of problems surfacing with the OSMO. Personally, I easily went with the GP7. A more rock solid decision, so to speak!

why is the skin so smooth at 2:17 on GoPro?

Good job! much better than your first review..I gotta get me that Osmo Action..never bought a GoPro in my life.

Great video, thx. In terms of stabilization I only see a great advantage on the dji when running fast, when walking not a real difference imo. I also see a poor image quality on go pro this time, good colours but poor definition. Yesterday I was sure to sell my gp7 because the new rocksteady but today I have my doubts...

Can you use the polarization filter with water or swimming as well?

You should do another stabilization test. Osmo action camera is father from the center of your hand than the GoPro. This will change the relative displacement when twisting your hand.

Where to buy the dual handle for camera

Where can i get the baseplate? 😅

I have go pro accessories and most will work with the Osmo Action because of the mount.. I just want them to come out with an underwater housing stat.. I know it's water proof.. but. Salt water will mess it up.. I have the Osmo Pocket now and I like it.. I want the Osmo action and will be buying it in the next week or so and will be using both of those for most of my vlog work for a bit.. I will eventually Buy an RX100 V I like it more than the VI and I want the EOS R from Canon as well.

Can you record video and timelapse (taking photos every 0,5 / 1 or 2 seconds) AT ONCE with the Osmo? If yes, which resulotion / frame rate combinations? And is there any remote for the wrist available?

This was awesome info. Thank you I’m trying to decide which one to get. Can you zoom while recording on either camera ? Also can the osmo do a hyper lapse ?

Hi friend do youthink they will make firmware update to fix the image corps while on rocksteady and dewrap mode
