What are your thoughts on both of these action cameras?
The DJI Action 4 has come into the spotlight really quick in comparison to the GoPro Hero 12. It has taken far more versions to get the Hero 12 to where it is today.
These cameras are extremely beneficial to a lot of people in so many different situations.
I loved the images coming from the Action 4 in the underwater tests.
Please let me know your thoughts in the comments section below about what you think is better. The DJI Action 4 or the GoPro Hero 12?

Im a kiteboarder and mostly using action cameras for shooting my kiting videos. Most important feature for me is horizon lock. Somehow DJI cameras resolution is very low in this mode (2.7K only) compare to 4K for Gopro. Very strange than none of the reviews mention it. It is important not only to kiteboarding but for many other board sports. So for me DJI not even the option to consider.

Great comparison... one important note. Action 4 DOES NOT have GPS either. What Action 4 has is the ability to connect to a remote control with GPS sold separately that allows Action 4 to record the GPS data from the remote (not the camera, the remote... so it won't help if trying to record the speed of a drone etc.). There is no internal GPS in either the GoPro Hero 12 or Action 4.

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS???.........This is the 2nd video where I keep seeing the DJI Action 4 have completely smudged areas where the GoPro has details. For example. Pause the video at 3:10 and look at the ground especially as it gets further and further away. The Action 4 is almost just a solid grey smudge while the ground is clearly not just a solid grey smudge as the GoPro proves. The other video I saw of the same thing was the Action 4 being compared to "only" a Hero 9 and the same thing happened; with the DJI Action 4 a portion of the side of a man's face was almost just a solid skin-coloured smudge while the GoPro Hero 9 looked "normal" and captured the details properly. It's not a case of digital (ie. post-process) sharpening, the details are simply not being captured by the Action 4 AT ALL (also, the DJI was set to the sharpest mode just to be sure). It's like the Action 4 is in some insanely low bitrate mode or something - I don't know how else to explain it.

@theamateurguitarist6187 2 ай бұрын

That could be shutter speed and motion blur. If the GoPro has to run with a higher shutter speed it will have more detail in movement, but this is not pleasing to the eye or cinematic. You could get that level of detail by turning up the shutter speed on the Action4, but more natural motion blur would be the goal.

@gurahamu4718 8 ай бұрын

I recently got the OA4, after my old GoPRo7 died on an epic waterslide. Thanks for the analysis - I think you hit the use case scenario well. Like anything, it's how you use it. For me that means helmet mounts on motorbikes, cycles, snowboards, family outings. In these scenarios, the magnetic mount and front face touch screen I thought would be a big help - and yes, it's been great, also being a little smaller is good, and that low light sensor ability is great at dawn and dusk, so for me, the OA4 has been the right purchase so far. Not really any disrespect to the GP12 - still a good camera, and if you swap orientation of footage a lot, especially in post, that might well be enough to justify that camera choice. Sad to see the GPS go on the GP12 - I never did the overlays but it was nice to know where the picture or video was taken.

I recently switched from a Hero 7 to an Action 4, and two things really stand out to me on the Action 4: The quick record button is way faster and works every single time (My Hero 7's sometimes would do nothing and require a reboot - missed many shots because of this) and the magnetic mounting system is FAR superior. I actually had two Hero 7's so I didn't have to switch mounts often because it took forever and was just simply inconvenient. With the Action 4 I only need one camera and I can switch it from a selfie stick to a tripod or suction cup in seconds. Never going back.

Have the hero 11 and got an action 4. Both are good but the action 4 audio is way better however I think GoPros menu is more clear and more information. For example I get conflicting information on action 4 are both color options 10bit or only d log? The way the menu has it I would assume only the d log which would then be a win for GoPro since you can have 10 bit in all color modes but then I hear others say both dji are 10 bit and even hear dji has hdr on all the time but then other say no only the 3 has hdr. Dji specs are not the clearest in terms of what are the actual settings. Functionally the camera is great and I’m liking it however the record button is much harder to press especially with any kind of glove on (we’ll see how it goes with a snow glove). I think go pro wins on better textile feel of buttons (something I’ve heard others complain on the action 3 and didn’t get fixed in the 4), GoPro wins on a more clear settings menu, GoPro wins stabilization having an auto boost feature. Dji wins on boot up and responsiveness, FOV, Audio, white balance and low light. On the FPS menu I kind of think it makes more sense to split them by region otherwise you may find yourself with an odd outcome if you don’t know the regions use, not everyone understands😊 what or why to use what FPS. I know I don’t so having it broken down as 30/60/120 eliminates me from messing up accidentally. Both great cameras but the low light in the woods, better FOV and better audio has me using the dji more.

EXACTLY. No one is talking about this. It's like the DJI Action 4 is in some insanely low bitrate mode or something. At 3:10, the ground with the Action 4 is just a huge, solid grey smudge blob while the GoPro shows the ground much better. I saw another video of a guy comparing the DJI Action 4 to "just" a GP hero 9 and it was the same thing. There were parts of the side of a man's face that were just a solid skin-coloured smudge with the Action 4 yet, with "just" a Hero 9, the "information" on the side of the man's face was actually captured properly (ie. showing all the details). It has nothing to do with sharpening settings, it's like the Action 4 isn't capturing the information AT ALL (sharpening has nothing to do with it.

Been a GP fan since Hero 2. I have the GP Mini 11 it's nice, but the overheating has killed my desire to grab the 12. I just purchased the DJI 4. I am excited and can't wait to test it. Thanks for this video.

Having both, I find each of them to excel in different situations. I think the GoPro does a much better job handling skin tones and creating an overall more cinematic image. The resolution is also helpful. In regard to the DJI, it's good, but the ecosystem isn't as diverse or wide as GoPro's current eco system. The addition of LOG profile, the ability to view on the app while recording, and the built in 1/4 on the bottom of the GoPro might not be the jump people wanted, but I do use every one of these features every single time I use my GP12. If you are already in the GP ecosystem, it's an easy upgrade, if you are new, DJI might be the better choice.

Totally agree. I have both and find myself reaching for the GP more often, primarily because of its superior (IMO) image quality. Both are very good, but if I could only keep one, I would keep the GP.

I have ZERO experience with any camera or any type... I do think about buying one as I ride a little mauntainbike. My only input on this is that i think the picture and color looks better on the GoPro when there is good lighting. (the other way around when its dark/bad light) But what is best on a MTB when you often ride in a place with lots of trees and its bright sun, dark shadow, bright sun dark shadow, shifting many times often within seconds?

All I want are cameras that I can connect to external batteries so I do not have to stop and get off my motorcycle every time to change an internal battery. I have been doing this with my GoPros for the past four years, but now three of them are acting up - turning off and on indiscriminately. I was looking at the DJI cameras but not sure if they can run on external batteries.

Actually thinking about maybe going back to a Gopro. Have the 'Osmo Action 4' and its pretty good but the background is blurry in the corners on mine although the face is in focus. Also have the new 'Insta Ace Pro' and my face is not in focus but the background is pin sharp. Think it is all to do with the new larger sensor size that those two cameras use and the issue with the optics. It can either be aligned to get your face sharp or background sharp, also a bit like the issue that 'Insta' had with the 1" sensor camera as well where face wasn't in focus unless you held camera over a metre away. At least with GoPro and the smaller sensor the optics seems to have everything sharp. Some people are not really fussed but for myself when vlogging out in the wilds I want everything to be sharp and show my environment clearly. Have a fix for the Osmo in Davinci Resolve where I put a rectangular mask on the outside area of footage to sharpen that up separately. Have done that as well with the Ace Pro where I have a tracked oval mask to sharpen just face.

@RealDaveTheFreak 5 ай бұрын

Wondering: does the Action 4 has an option to not sharpen the image like the GoPro does? Cause the main reason I got the GoPro is that I can have minimal sharpening. I just hate this kind of over-sharpened, smartphone like image. Oh and 5.3K is great for post-production. Other than that, I'd go for the Action 4 no question.

Insta360 has the best low-light capabilities. I own the GoPro Hero 10 and it does a great job but it will shut down when you least expect it.

So I think that I will either switch to Insta or DJI but not until GoPro Hero 13 comes out and I see some major changes.

Action 4 is tempting for several reasons. But in the underwater shots it looks too magenta and contrasty compared to the GoPro. 5K is useful for cropping/zooming in post/editing or getting screen grabs that can be printed at a good resolution

I want the best value for my money and best video quality as well.

Sony ax700 or ax53 on a tri-pod would be best for you, man. You can sit in the bleachers and see the whole field or zoom in real tight and see the snot drip from his nose in high definition. GoPros would kinda suck for filming baseball cause once they get more than 10-15 feet away from the camera you really can’t see that well.

You mentioned the Action has GPS but I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Not my one anyway! They sell a separate GPS Bluetooth remote if you want GPS. I also think your GoPro is faulty because even my Hero 11 (with GPS) seems to outlast the battery and over heating on my Osmo Acrion 4. What nobody is talking about is data rates. My Hero 11 (basically same as Hero 12) gives me about 150mbps over about 90mbps on the DJI. I find that colours crush much easier on my DJI and attribute it to the data rates but maybe that's just me. I do prefer to user interface and frame rate options on the DJI though. It's both more simple and gives more shooting options at the same time

@mediacreationsusa 6 ай бұрын

I think the Action 4 is a better camera - more contrast in lower light - more color detail - and the grading comparison was night and day! - I wonder how long it would run on a USB powered source before overheating? does 1080 allow it to run cooler, or does it matter? will it run 2hrs stationary continuous I wonder?

How is the DJI better when it completely doesn't even capture what it's filming and instead just makes things look like a solid coloured blob? Look at the ground at 3:10 for example. It's just a grey solid smudge with the DJI. I saw another video of the Action 4 being compared to "just" a GoPro Hero 9 and the same thing was happening to a portion of the side of a man's face. It was just a flat, solid, skin-coloured smudge on the DJI Action 4 while the Hero 9 actually captured the face normally. It's got nothing to do with sharpness settings, the DJI is simply not capturing the details at all. It's like the DJI is set to some insanely low bitrate or something. I have no idea what's going on but NO ONE is talking about it.

Once I have my presets I dont have to alter anything on the back screen if my gopro is mounted and the inclusion of the quarter inch thread means it now attachs to all my camera kit. I think the gopro looks sharper and the slow mo has always beat Dji (and yet ive owned both). Also the Gopro is cheaper and with my max lens mod 2 it is soooo useful. I like the Dji but IM still sticking with my Gopro for now.

Been having issues with my gopro lately. Tried to use it skiing over the past week during some colder days and it died which really sucked becuase I would of had some great footage. I used it a bunch in cold weather last season but after watching this video I realize it probably worked becuase I started filming straight away and filmed for longer stretches each time, which probably kept the battery warm. The other day there was a delayed opening at the mountain so I stood there for about an hour with the camera exposed to the elements before I turned it on. Then I only had it on for a few moments before turning it off.
