Yes, at this point it seems like the Hero 12 may only feature incremental upgrades but I’m really curious about that one-inch rumor. I’m wondering if this means GoPro will release a standard GoPro with the standard sensor and then a higher-end GoPro with the one-inch sensor? It’ll be interesting to see what transpires. The action camera competition is definitely heating up even more between brands.

You can further improve low light performance by removing the lens cap to let more light into the sensor. Just remember to put it back on later and remember that the camera is not waterproof without it.

I appreciate your feedback! Yes, for indoor settings where there isn’t a lot of natural light available I recommend applying one of the combinations of low light settings I discuss in this video including the limit on minimum shutter speed or using one of the modes with gyro data and then using Gyroflow later on to stabilize (if you want to do that type of editing). I hope you find these settings helpful for your use case. Thanks!

Great video. At 46:22, I would caution against using 1/24 shutter speed in low light with any camera movement. You can do this only if there is minimal camera movement You will have intra-frame blur that stabilization (RS or gyroflow) won't be able to fix. You mention earlier in the video keeping the shutter speed at 1/200 or above with RS which is a good idea. I just wanted to clarify for anybody trying to get stabilized lowlight video. (Like running marathons that start before dawn)
@GreatDayForAHike 11 ай бұрын
Thanks for your feedback. Yes, if using 1/24 in low light having that camera stationary or nearly stationary will be important. If lots of movement even with RS off the shutter speed needs to be a bit faster. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this, I watched it over and over before even buying the camera. I am pretty new to this; I only got my first GoPro about ten months ago but this camera already seems so much better. I'm going to Churchill, Manitoba, to see the Polar Bears in the wild in October and feel I'll get better footage with the Action 4. I'm also hoping to see the Northern Lights and get some good night lapse video; I'm thinking it's probably the same principle as the GoPro settings, I'll try and make it work. There's a solar eclipse in October, good opportunity to practice. Anyway, thank you again for this, and all you do for me, and others in the same boat as me.

Few questions if you don’t mind. When doing photos 1. Does it use the whole 155 Fov? 2. Does it take advantage of the EIS/Rocksteady? 3. How’s the quality of the photos compared to ultrawide of phones (either Iphone or Android). Thank you.

Great video as usual. Love your settings section. I took your settings from your tutorial on the Action 3. Are these settings basically the same as what you used on the 3? Your settings for Night timelapse are what I'm interested in. I'll be trying out some timelapse for the first time soon in Switzerland. I suppose it depends on the conditions at the time but are your settings the 'general go to' for the best results. I suppose these settings come with experience and experimenting but will give it a try. Thanks for these videos,they are really useful 👍
@GreatDayForAHike 11 ай бұрын
Thank you. The settings are similar but some adjustments due to some new features on the Action 4 including my favorite: finally gyro data again in certain setting combinations. The Action 3 had no gyro data sadly. I also outline some settings to prevent jitter or ghosting with footage if in low light/shade with RockSteady on. Night lapses I have found the Osmo Action to not be strong with. I’ve played around a bit for these settings I recommend but yes they are very situational specific and experimenting is recommended. The DNG photos the Action 4 generates do not have a lot of resulting and detail to work with for night lapses. I am continuing to experiment with night lapses on this camera to see if I can get it to produce any better results.

But when adjusting "sharpness", I noticed you could adjust through the values "+2" down to "-2" which is awesome, but I've seen on a few other reviews the options of "High, Medium and Low". Is there some kind of option that when toggled, it changes the values from "+2 to -2" to "High, Medium, Low"? Thanks for the detailed guide.

Thank you. So my thought on this is that any videos where you saw those options listed, those may have been cameras that DJI sent to those individuals before the release date. It looks like those may have been how the options were listed prior to the firmware update that DJI released at release time for this camera. My camera was not sent to me by DJI, of course. I purchased it on release day and updated the firmware during the unboxing. That is my thought on what explains this.

Hi! Really enjoyed the tutorials. I just bought my Action 4 and been trying to get knowledge from as many experts as possible. I plant to use it for minor sightseeing, nothing too extreme even if we decide to do any action sports. What is the best settings to keep footages steady? I don’t have any fancy editing softwares nor do I know how to use it. It’s quite overwhelming turning on/off certain options for other purpose to be completed in post. I was looking for best simple settings for shooting videos minus the post editing settings. Thanks… I will replay your video and try to follow some of the settings best suited.

Thanks and great question. To keep the stabilization as simple as possible and to use the built-in camera stabilization I recommend you keep RockSteady turned on but then adjust your shutter speed range to 1/200 - 1/8000. What this will accomplish is anytime you’re in lower light or shadows, your Action 4 won’t drop the shutter speed below 1/200. This will help ensure you don’t have jitter or ghosting in your footage. Otherwise I recommend using the standard color profile, white balance Auto, and Auto ISO. This should give you good footage that you wont need to mess with grading later on.

Love you channel and thanks for this vid. I’m getting into creative video and editing and this was helpful for me as a beginner. I’m realizing my windows laptop (older) isn’t setup for 4K consistently as my playback is sometimes slow, choppy, and constantly flashes with random colors. I followed your video to a T. For now, I think I probably need to shoot in 1080p until I upgrade to my Mac mini. What settings do you recommend to change “C1”. Right now it’s at 4K 4:3 60. Can I simply change to 1080 by 120 and keep exp, iso the same custom settings? Thanks again!
@GreatDayForAHike 5 ай бұрын
Thank you for your feedback and great question. Yes if you want to change the resolution to 1080 and the fps to 120, the other settings shown such as ISO and exposure should still work well with this combo.

Which action sport camera would you prefer (between H11 Black and Action 4) to capture the clearest detailed video (within at least 25ft) outside in late afternoon to evening (before sundown) out at the beach while camera is moving on bike's handlebars? BTW, Great KZfaq video presentation! I'm starting to follow your other videos now. Also if the temps are in 90's will the H11 still have overheating issues even if it's moving outside on bike handlebars with a constant breeze?
@GreatDayForAHike 11 ай бұрын
First of all, I appreciate how specific you were with your question. Both the Hero 11 and Action 4 will get good results in this scenario but the Hero 11 video is likely to have better clarity. I found this to be the case with the Hero 11 vs the Action 3 and I still find the Hero 11 clarity to be a bit better vs the Action 4. There is more detail in the footage on the Hero 11. I say this as someone who buys all of my own cameras and I want to like each camera I buy 😃 If you are moving constantly with that moving air hitting the Hero 11 the overheating risk should be minimal to none. A few other considerations worth noting: GoPro is likely releasing the Hero 12 in about a month. The Action 4 is priced $70 higher than the Action 3 and now costs the same price as the Hero 11. You may already be aware of all of this but I wanted to mention it.
@kellyfrom98 11 ай бұрын
i think if you prefer the camera with some lowlight capability, you should choose action4. the lowlight image of action4 is amazing!
@GreatDayForAHike 11 ай бұрын
Yes, so far the lowlight performance has been great with the Action 4. Of course, it is worth noting the GoPro Hero 12 is likely being released next month. It’s likely the Hero 12 will have an even larger sensor than the Action 4. This could equate to even better low light performance. Note: I have no official information. This is just speculation and my thoughts after studying the patterns of competition between these two cameras.

Yo I’m having an issue where if I change the ev comp and then go to the shutter speed the shutter just changes back to -3 in the top left corner. But if u set my shutter and go back, the ev comp is correct but I’m not too sure it’s actually at 0.7 ev comp. I can send a video of it if you want. Will make it easier to visualise.

You did cover the Orientation Lock, but is there a, for lack of a better term, a "horizon" lock? I was using the camera in a headband-type mount and when I took it off to adjust the hat, the video orientation flipped, so it began recording upside down. I called /asked DJI and they read from a script about the Orientation . . . I am going to try to replicate it. Any thoughts?

as i understood, 4:3 is better without gimbal (especially low light) and if i will edit the video after to remove all shakings and have some more field vertically? if i would not edit it 16:8 is "better" (more common) if i understood, right? thanks for answers. very usefull video!
@GreatDayForAHike 7 ай бұрын
Yes, this is generally true. However, if you film 4:3 all the time it does give you extra resolution at the top and bottom of the frame where you could add motion or reframe to the footage while editing later on if you want. 4:3 also gives more of a full sensor readout and doesn’t have the camera cropping the image internally.

What is the maximum preset that you can make and it is possible to rename the preset to your liking. 3.

I would recommend 4K 24 FPS or 4K 30 FPS as this will really capture the speeds at which you are riding with that FPS vs something like 60 or 120 FPS which can appear slower even at normal speed due to more frames per second. If you’re doing some really intense riding you may want to use RockSteady+ for your stabilization.

presetting manual video settings like ISO and shutter speed, how do you know which one would have a priority? The camera's algorithm may slow down the shutter too much bluring the video instead of bumping up the ISO and vice-versa. it's a gamble without shutter or iso priority options.
@GreatDayForAHike 7 ай бұрын
Great question. DJI doesn’t show these values live, but the Action 4 does allow for establishing the shutter speed range you want it to use. I usually set this at 1/200-1/8000 in order to ensure the shutter speed does not go slower than 1/200 which would interfere with EIS functioning properly.

is the camera doing processing to get to dewarp? (that’s what i assumed) but it’s somewhat contradicted by the fact that it will only horizon balance in dewarp and can’t do it in wide/ultrawide
@GreatDayForAHike 10 ай бұрын
Yes I believe it is doing processing to dewarp but there is also a bit of a crop when doing horizon balancing which gives the footage room to balance without cutting it off on any edges.

the ghosting is from high iso and the noise reduction. i did lots of tests after i got it and was shocked lol. few others have found the same diagnosis on the forum...having 0 for noise reduction doesn't mean no noise reduction though. you need to have it set to -2 for fully off.
@GreatDayForAHike 6 ай бұрын
That’s correct. -2 is fully off for noise reduction. I like to pick the balanced middle. If you have RockSteady on and a shutter speed slower than 1/200 there will still be ghosting and jitter even if you have a low ISO and noise reduction off but lowering the ISO and noise reduction can help a bit.

@@GreatDayForAHike i use gyroflow for more control as i use it for fpv flying. so no rocksteady on. it's in low light i notice this awful effect, never seen it on gopros tbh. i have it at 60fps as i pan at speed so 30fps doesnt have enough frames to keep it smooth, and i set shutter to 1/100 or 1/120 to let a good amount of light in and keep iso low as i have it at 100-800 range. i'll try 1/200 but it means the iso has to go even higher than 800 so could look a bit mushy. i was ready to send this back and get a hero 11 but i'll stick it out and see how it goes when flying in high contrast situations more
