- Whether you are a mountain bike rider documenting their adventures with friends and family or a full time content creator. A high quality reliable action cam setup is one of the most often used pieces of gear you will bring with you. For years GoPro has dominated the space even though there have been many complaints of freezing, over heating, or losing footage all together. Lately we have been hearing a lot of good things coming out about the DJI Osmo Action 3 and we were lucky enough to get our hands on one to test for a little bit. In this video we just wanted to take a look at some different cameras head to head on the same trail with similar lighting conditions and setups. We are really curious to hear your thoughts on what looked best!

The DJI is really compelling. Something about how it smooth-tilts the footage when you corner looks really good.
Thats awesome feedback! Thank you!
if he use wide or superview settings on gopro stabilization will looks also more smooth.
Hey Everyone, Hope you enjoy this video! It was really cool getting to ride and hang with Nik, Kailey, & Joey. We hope you enjoy the multiple camera format as well. The trail we were riding ( Levitate ) was so much fun! Here is a link for anyone who is curious about it. www.trailforks.com/trails/levitate-92231/ . We honestly are always trying our best to provide the best experience for the people who watch our videos and one of the biggest things is having watchable footage that is smooth but engaging. Its always interesting to see what the footage looks like after it goes through CZcams compression but so far our pick for quality was
#1 GoPro Standard Lens, #2 Osmo Action 3, #3 GoPro Max Lens, #4 Iphone 14 Pro.
When it came to Horizon leveling we felt like
#1 GoPro Max Lens , #2 Osmo Action 3, #3 GoPro Standard Lens , #4 Iphone 14 Pro
Finally For Use-ability , Reliability , & Battery It has seemed like this so far
#1 Osmo Action 3, #2 GoPro Max Lens, #3 GoPro Standard Lens, #4 Iphone 14 Pro.
Let us know what you think or if you have any other questions we missed, we would love to hear what looked best to you!
Should have come a few weeks later after the rebuild. Trail conditions are much better now.
@@wasatchbackmtb4312 Dang! We were just so happy with how it was! Such a fun trail, it was cool getting to ride in Salt Lake area for the first time!
GoPro 👍🏻
Osmo is amazing camera, it is not overheating like GoPro. With GoPro there is always something so if you ask me DJI Osmo action will be my next action camera.
@@AprilRideMTB hi could I ask what iPhone case u r using and where could I buy one
Thanks
Thanks for the video and it kind of helped me decided that I should be getting the Osmo due to:
+ magnetic mounts
+ no over heating issue (yet)
+ longer battery life
+ $100 cheaper compare to GoPro
@DJI, please continue to sponsor Kyle & April with more gadgets.
Thanks Jon!!
They both looked really good. The color on the GoPro was a bit better on my screen but if it wasn't there to compare with the DJI, I don't know if I would see any difference. From a viewer perspective, it seemed pretty comparable.
Thanks! Yeah its only if i really stare at the pixels on full screen when i can start to see a tiny difference haha.
I agree that the gopro color is better, and pretty significantly to me. May be monitor dependent though. I ended up going with the GoPro after watching this video. Appreciate the video @kyleaprilrideMTB
@@Shnozzeltaff I believe the Osmo was recording in a color setting that is meant to be color corrected in post, it looks like raw footage to me or very lightly corrected. So comparing color between the two isn't exactly fair.
I just love watching you all shred those trails. Such excellent riding skills. I'm slowly getting better but will likely never get near your smooth positioning and great line choices.
Finally this seems like a real-ish comparison between GoPro and DJI. Most/every other comparison are sponsored so they don’t give u accurate information. IDC what u get athough personally I choose GoPro because of its quality, horizon lock/stablisation, and the ultra wide lens.
Been making videos with my osmo 3 for a few months and it has been awesome. No complaints at all, and it did well in super cold conditions while snowboarding too
I actually think the DJI looked the best. And you two are shredding!
Thats awesome to hear! Thanks Derek! Yeah we had a super solid crew that day!
I agree, I think it was a bit crisper - especially on the HDR mode
Great video. I'm amazed by how smooth your riding is, its as if you're gliding over the trail. You match the landings so well... it's a joy to watch. :)
Once again a great video showing all the important stuff and actually explaining things fully.
Thanks Dan! You are the best man, hope you have a great weekend!
great test . Thanks for posting
really glad you did this video i bought an action cma for this main purpose. though i did get an insta360 go2 ('cause i can use it for traveling), i'm looking for an additional one which will replace it for trail riding videos! this helps narrow down the pros and cons! thanks a bunch!
i think the DJI looked best. I have the action 1, works well, reliable, just wish the battery life matched that of the 3
After seeing the Max Lens version in the quick comparison I'd say it looked best. April really is a legit shredder now!
Love the audio quality of the dji wireless mic setup. Can't believe how easy you are able to talk while shreddig.
Liking the osmo quick mount for the vertical view, this alone could bring to the purchase due to most often uploading shorts, etc. Thanks for the work here.
Hey there, amazing comparison, thanks a lot. I also loved you mention the dji mic. May I ask where you put it that it records such amazing clear sound? I'd also like to know if you think it could be use for motorcycle videos (audio) as well? Is it so good in filtering wind?
Thanks a lot, cheers
Ótimo vídeo. Com certeza vou comprar a Action 3 para usar no meu canal. Sucesso pra vc
I think the GoPro and the DJI were almost identical, to me. Except the first GoPro footages had more lens flare. Use whichever is easiest for you I'd say.
This video was helpful for me. I'm leaving on a trip to Sturgis SD next week for motorcycle week and I was thinking about getting an action camera to document some of the riding. I was looking into the Insta360. I just couldn't get myself to pull the trigger on the camera knowing I probably wouldn't use it much after this trip. I am however due for an iPhone upgrade (I'm still on the 12). I decided to order a good RAM mount for my motorcycle.. and I'm just gonna upgrade to the iPhone 14 Pro before I leave for my trip. I also ordered an external wireless mic to use with it. Anyway... I appreciate you taking the time to make a video like this.
Glad it was helpful and hope you have a great trip!
I liked the DJI and the GoPro. The DJI wasn’t quite how I hoped at first but when you angled it up it was great. I think the thing I found most interesting was the sound quality and I’m interested to know what the GoPro and separate mic set up was as it looked like DJI mic and GoPro. I’d love to know about reasonably priced additional mic solutions. Bearing in mind mine is for fun rather than needing the quality you guys have. Really interesting vid, cheers
He didn't even use ultrawide on dji
Thanks for the insightful video! Next time, I'd like to see the Insta360 added to the mix using the single lens mode.
I noticed that the iPhone gave the viewing feel a little more raw like in the old days but kind of in a good way. The Osmo Action 3 looked really good as well and so excited to see someone put the pressure on GoPro because companies get stagnant if they aren't being pressured by someone else to be better. Not saying they are horrible and haven't come along way but when you have two people in competition things move much quicker. Great video by the way and I liked how you had different riders in front each time.
Thanks for the video! , do you recomend the chest mount over the helmet one?
April you was sending it i 😊 and Kyle just doing his thing very well as usual i enjoyed the video guys 👌🏾
In the world of youtube compression, its picking nits.
We(youtubers) obsess a bit much. The vid quality on either action cam is very acceptable.
The ease of adding audio on the dji is a nice touch. Audio, imo, is practically more important that overall vid quality. I can deal with a less than stellar image, but nothing gets me to stop watching a video faster than horrible audio.
That said, ive been using the foam covers (wind slayers?) on my gopros for a long while and they really make the gopro on board mic sound pretty clear and block wind noise.
Anyways, just wanted to leave my .02 to offer feedback.
Best of luck.
Thanks so much Dave!! Yeah the windslayers make a world of difference!! Agreed on audio as well
I honestly think all the cameras look great. Great video!
Thanks so much Carlo!
The first run with the OSMO seemed a tad overexposed.
I go for GoPro 11. Nice review mate.
Was watching your video on an iPad limited to 1080p. The GoPro footage looked the best, mostly winning with the colors and details it provided.
I would like to hear a bit about the mounts you are using. Having trouble finding a mount I like.
Thanks!
That's my first time seeing that DJI cam and for the price it seems to great value.
Plus it seems like a huge win that the DJI mic receiver can plug right into the camera. At least that's what it looked like from the momentary view of that.
Hey Kyle, I checked your links but don't see that Phone body strap? What is that full set up? I want to use it, not for action pov, but for Vlog Pov. Thank you!
The mount and phone case is Peak Design amzn.to/43Z61la

Having used both GoPro and DJI for a while, I personally prefer DJI if I know I'm going colour grade it afterwards. I usually film D-Cinelike with the 2.7k full frame capture do get the ability to reframe later. Never really found any of the HDR modes to my liking though.
Portrait orientation is also available on the action cameras, if mobile media is your prime audience.
The fact that you can get three DJI cameras for the price of two GoPro is also quite nice.
GoPro, however, makes instant-pop video for direct sharing easier imo. I prefer working with DJI video, but for someone who just wants to download to phone and send to some social media with minimal editing, I'd say GoPro has the edge.
Great information. I am guessing if you used your DJI Mic into the iPhone 14 you could then have great audio. Enjoyed watching 👍
The clarity and colour of the iPhone is best/amazing if you could get the framing right. But I liked the Action 3 over the GoPro I think?
On the GoPro 11, with the Quick app you can make the 8:7 video have HyperView and horizon leveling. It will also let you get a really good 9x16 show all with the same video. This way you get the good 5k 8:7 which you can than reframe any way you like.
Good comparison.
Next Assignment
Insta Go 3.
Urgent😊
I enjoyed the videos with the GoPro Max lens.
awesome vid as always. the gopro seems to have the edge on video quality (just) however there is more to filming than just the quality, the user experience is important, if your camera overheats... then you have no film at all. the DJI seems to have great features, easy to use, and partnered with the audio attachment that seemed to be the best all round package. Its only the colour that seems to edge the gopro ahead for quality. great comparison though, i have a gopro and am looking at what to have next the gopro 11 is great but the DJI is super tempting.
I will help answer your choice, preferably DJI, more features
My Gopro Hero 7 Black broke down and i am really thinking on upgrading to the Osmo Action 3. Gopro tends to have heating and software issues. I already experienced that with mine... Nice video and great riding skills👍
DJI has an action 4 now too if you want to check that out! czcams.com/video/MRcAReXBFQY/video.htmlsi=ZtwwSAGzVVaZVbVO
As a long time subscriber I have to admit I don't watch all your videos, so just wanted to say I think switching the format up a bit with more tech-y content is a smart move and got me to click on this one for a change.
That’s awesome to hear! Thank you, yeah we have been kind of quiet the last couple years as well with some health issues and are just finally getting into some more content we are excited about! Hoping we can continue to grow and serve new people this year. Thanks for clicking and watching this one!
My next cam will be the DJI for sure
GoPro looks good as usual but it’s not much different from every other year . You could put a hero 9,10,11 footage side by side and people wouldn’t tell them apart immediately. I like the dji plus it’s interface and magnetic mount plus the stuff it comes for the price is a no brainer😊
@Miscapades native standard footage yes but a good edit on either can come close . Still not enough reason not to try the dji the value for everything it comes with and superior app is a no brainer . Before the stabilization was nothing compared to GoPro but now it’s 👌🏼
Nice shredding guys. Hoping action 360 please 😮❤❤
First comment! Definitely still like the angles of the GoPro 11 the most, DJI's action 3 has an amazing available mic setup though...
Second
Thank you for the comment! Yeah I agree, I think the 8:7 aspect ratio really helps with always getting the best useable angle! I hope DJI does bluetooth mic integration on their next version too! That would be a complete game changer for work flow and editing
@@marcusabela9626 Thanks!!
@@AprilRideMTB Yeah, I agree. I would buy and test between my current camera (Hero 10) and the DJI OM3, but I can't justify buying the cam and the mic (If you buy the OM3 you NEED the DJI mic as well....) I only make a little money per month and need to save for a car 🤣
Thank you for the comparisons. I have been thinking about going with the Action 3 over the GoPro because of the cost difference. I am a retired photojournalist and I never really shot much video so really the cost is a deciding factor. Watching the video on CZcams it’s hard for my eye to tell that much of a difference between the GoPro and the Action 3. Thanks again, pedal safe
No problem Gary! Thanks so much for watching! Glad it could be helpful a bit!
A bit off topic, but im dying to see a bike check video on your new Delano Peak bikes.
Nice comparison!
Glad you think so!
Color and exposure (highlights) on the GoPro appears superior, but the standard Rocksteady stabilization looks awesome and in some cases better than Hypersmooth, at least to my eyes.
Well, the IPhone is out of the question - but the Osmo vs GoPro Max Lens is a bit trickier to choose from. Both looked great, but somehow it may be the Go Pro Max Lens that I like the best. Don't know why, it just felt better somehow. Cool trail!
I liked the DJI and GoPro about the same. The phone worked well for vertical but hard to watch horizontal, and I would say if you are throwing away resolution and natural aspect by going vertical anyway then you might as well use the Insta360 for the versatility, unique angles & lower replacement cost if wrecked. I hear your point about already having a phone, though! I loved and still use the Osmo Action 1. WAY more reliable than the GoPro Hero 7 that I got around the same time. I wonder if the Osmo 3 will be as reliable. I haven't had much trouble with the Hero 11 Mini, though. That is probably my current fave.
Both all cams views u used were good views and stuff
I couldn’t agree more with your conclusion. I own the Osmo Action 3 because my GoPro 8 died and that’s not the first GoPro I’ve had die on me. Additionally, the connectivity between the GoPro and their Quik app can be super finicky and I don’t have the same issues with the DJI app/camera. I also really love the DJI accessories and the magnetic clip mount thing that works with both their camera/accessories as well as all the GoPro accessories so I’m able to use all the existing GoPro accessories I already owned. That was a smart move on DJI’s part. Great video!
Here I am thinking I’m searching something novel and probably won’t get many results. Nope, instead one of the best MTB (and overall) channels has a video comparing the exact activity, mount, and phone model I’m researching. Not to mention I’m already subscribed. Haha too good. Thank you guys for putting this out, looks like my 14 pro max will be just fine to capture me sending it literal inches through the air on my next ride!!
Haha glad this video was useful!
The first video and slight angle looks the best for me. I wish you could do a side by side screen between the 1st video and gopro. May be it's just me but I prefer to watch a riding video with less view of the handle bar. I prefer not to see it at all unless it's a product test. I feel that when I'm watching a ride video with just the trail and horizon, I feel like I was the one riding, even though I cant ride that good or even that fast😂😂😂
I really liked the Osmo in the higher definition. I didn't miss the horizon compensation at all. The Osmo in standard was ok. But like the GoPro in most settings, you can (or at least I can, cause it drives me nuts) see a decent amount of over pixelization (or blurr) in the perifrey items in frame (clouds, mountains, rocks...items farther away). The iPhone is probably fine for the weekend warrior. I wouldn't want to make a living (or part of one) doing action stuff after I've used superior equipment in the past......Keep up the good work!!! You and April are always fun to watch!
Thank you!
Am going to get the iPhone 15 Pro Max and shoot stereoscopic. This is a great reference for framing issues.
The battery life and tolerance to a wider temperature range make me favor the DJI. I've had so many rides I couldn't record on because the GoPro was hanging/not starting, or the cold made the battery life plummet.
I think the GoPro looks better when it's in Hyperview (I always do this in Premiere Pro with the GoPro FX ReFrame plugin and I record in 8:7). Make sure to record in Natural color mode because it has local tone mapping to preserve those highlights more than the flat color mode. LTM was introduced in the Hero 11 and wasn't present in the Hero 10. Also the cinelike colors really should be reserved for color grading. It's difficult to compare ungraded footage side by side. Both the GoPro and the Osmo looked like they needed contrast and saturation boosted, the iPhone stood as a pretty good reference point when comparing colors. Look at the deepness of the blues and greens and how rich they are on the iPhone and how dull the colors appear on both action cams.
That said, I think the GoPro still has the best detail and highlight recovery with local tone mapping on it's sensor. 4k60 hyperview (or 5.3k 24p if you're in the forest/lowlight) from the 8:7 sensor gives you the best of both worlds for posting on CZcams and gives you the ability to go vertical for mobile. I think regular hypersmooth is still best in class. I saw a couple moments where the rock steady would flick a bit on the lip of a takeoff. And it doesn't seem to have the same depth in the small details on the trail.
I'm not a huge fan of the max lens mod for MTB fov footage. 2.7k is okay, 4:3 isn't super desirable if you're cross posting on different platforms, and keeping the camera level removes the sense of the rider's field of view. It has a tendency to point the camera left or right during or after a berm which just feels weird. It's better used for capturing video of someone else where your own body isn't in view.
I'm still on the GoPro but this definitely makes me think😮
Does GoPro 11 support other wireless mic (Type C) without media adapter ?
Thinking the Osmo 3 gets my vote. I do like the taller frame of the max lens, but you can see a little better quality from the DJI. The standard lens go pro was visibly shakier than the others and during an extended video that might get annoying. Since you use the separate mic audio quality may not really be an issue, but for those who use the camera mic, I think the DJI had better audio. The magnetic mount is also a really nice feature. Curious if the DJI allows voice commands like the go pro, I use the voice command feature quite a bit so i don't have to keep pressing buttons.
DJI has had voice commands since Action 1. And my Action 3 is more responsive than the 1.
Still choose the Gopro, the colour is better and the stabilization is more raw (not oversmooten) in my opinion. Still loving them all tho
I'm a fan of the GoPro, but I didn't notice much of a difference between the Max lens mod. I was impressed with the iPhone, but we definitely need a wider angle. I personally tried the DJI recently, and while I loved the user experience, mounts, accessories, software, etc. I couldn't get past its performance in less than ideal lighting. Under dark trees, or at dusk, the camera lost its ability to stabilize. In perfect lighting conditions it was great, but when things became less than perfect the GoPro took a very demanding lead. For my use case this was a non-negotiable. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for pointing out the darker lighting conditions on the DJI, we will have to look more into that!
Mark from Southampton in the UK here. The DJI wins hands down especially with the post edit software which is vital to either social media or anything bigger you're doing. Leave the phone in the bag/pocket and use the right tool!
While I'm here - love the channel and if you're in the UK (especially south coast) drop me a message 👍🏻
OA4 🙌🏼🙌🏼
For looking the best, it's gotta go to GoPro, I mean, it's very expected because of how long they've been top dogs. BUT, for me personally, I would get a DJI Osmo Action 3 because of battery life, overheating, and errors with losing footage from the SD card. I'd rather take a more functional and practical camera than a 5-10% better video. (You can also color grade the DJI footage to have more saturation and contrast which would get you even closer to the GoPro)
Thats great feedback! thank you so much, i agree, functionality over slightly more quality, especially when it comes to being able to record good audio directly to the camera with the usbc port
What exposure control does the DJI have? Most (maybe all) action cams tend to expose way over, the GoPros allow you to compensate the exposure down, does the DJI offer that?
Nice video Kyle! What I was wondering is whether you guys rode back up the mountain to the top of Levitate every time or shuttled it :-) ?
Thanks! We shuttled it haha
The sideways rear wheel flick the Nik does at 0:53, what's that skill called? And how do you do it? :)
The iPhone would be another bottom for me but the other two were near equal even when casting to TV.
All are “plenty good enough”. Pick it based on what gives you the best workflow?
I would say the DJI for a couple of reasons. First off the quality is equal to that of the Gopro if not slightly better. Second, the mount system, come on this is a no brainer to be able to just set it once and forget it. Third, pricing...Gopro nickle and dimes the customers to death with every little gadget just to make the thing usable such as the Max lens mod, extra batteries (DJI gives you 3 in the box) and the media mod if you want to attach external audio. My next action cam is going to be the DJI for these reasons mainly but also a few others that just add up to a failing QoL with Gopro, I am just glad there is finally a competitor that can be taken seriously.
GoPro with Max Lense was the smoothest to watch.
camera seems great! Just not sure why we can't buy it yet in Canada... so weird. (Action 3)
D-cinelike mod in Osmo Action is a flat profile made for color correction in post, it offers more dynamic range in exchange of more time editing, that's why it looks very bland, I think this should have been mentioned :)
Which chest strap are you using with the Osmo?
DJI: buttery smooth on big hits, trees don't look grainy especially when you're going fast. For the audio, since it's a dedicated one, is superb. Color is muted, might need to fiddle with the settings a bit.
GoPro: smooth as well, color is vibrant. Background trees look grainy when you're going fast, only the foreground looks detailed.
I'd take the DJI tbh, I'm convinced because of how EvansMTBsaga showcased it though I think he's using a diff GoPro. It's not bad for the price and the stuff you're getting.
Currently I think the Action 3 has the edge, it's just a shame that confidence with DJI has took a real bashing with regards to the focus issue :( It was obviously a hardware issue and not software but DJI refused to officially state it. There are lots of videos on CZcams showing the fix which was just a minor turn, anticlockwise, on the lens to correct the error as it was set too close to the sensor. I'm now hearing that some Action 4's are also being released with the same issue, I hope they get a grip of QC soon as they could really hurt GoPro this year or next with the Action 5, let's hope so.
Ive used the older dji action and loved it but it would overheat. If they fixed that combined with that sweet magnetic mount, i say go withbthe dji. The video is so close that any difference in quality could be made up in post.
Thats good to hear too Steve! Thank you!
The Max Lens could show a better pov when you take curves. I love Max Lens
I think the quality and color of the osmo is my personal favorite but the audio could be a bit better, GoPro has great quality and great audio but I feel like the color is a little dry, color can always be edited but it’s definitely nice when there’s one less thing to edit. The iPhone is good but doesn’t really compete against the GoPro and DJI. It’s hard to say which is the best but I think with a separate mic the osmo might be the best option. Either way I’m excited to see what the future has for action cameras!
Thanks Ryan!
I’ve used go pro and had nothing but headaches, the picture quality is fine but everything else that goes with it is not, battery life appalling, over heating every 30 minutes and turning itself off randomly, then I brought a DJI action 3 with the DJI remote mic and have had no issues what so ever, they are much cheaper as a bonus.
Shit, I don't know...lol...april looks good as always
I’d be afraid of losing the camera on a crash with the magnetic mount but I suppose they designed for that….
Yeah it has the magnet plus two small clips that attach into the camera when docked, you have to actually press the buttons to disengage the mount
Hi, can you share the Iphone mount you are using? I didnt found it on your amazon list@@AprilRideMTB
Gosh April can jump well. Kudos to April and coach
Thank you!
Was not preapred for the iphone footage, thats good enough for me
Hello! colleague,insane ddji-I'll be back,:))
In terms of footage, it's a wash between the go pro and dji. If the battery life and quality of life is better with DJI, then...i think it's very compelling
What is the external Mic in the GoPro? Very clear voice!!
We use the DJI mic for external on all options.
24fps or 60fps for high speed biking?
I like gopro colour
What do I think - shooting into the sun can be an issue - SOMETIMES - a better video would be 1080 p - super wide 120 frames a second - also mount the camera on the front of the handle bars and have 2 Bose Resolve Plus Speakers for music
WHY NOT ULTRAWIDE ON DJI? And compares with max lens mod?
What is the mount you used for the iPhone on your GoPro chest harness?
The mount and phone case is Peak Design amzn.to/43Z61la
amzn.to/43JJRmY
Awesome
My main question is, Was there more glitches with the DJI or GoPro? My issue with GoPro is over heating, freezing, and glitching and has made me lose my desire to film on my MTB4L mtb channel.
