Loved the review and used the link to buy one. Perfect timing as I get my new Yeti SB160 in just over a week. Pleased to see how well your channel is doing.
I just bought it in the morning here in Thailand. I have never had any action camera before and I think my smartphone is too old because I cannot download or export the files. I definitely will need to learn how to use the Action 4 as a very beginner.
@@r00kiet80 I just went to the DJI store in Centralworld Shopping Center in Bangkok and I bough it haha, I just checked the receipt, it was 10:30:22am on 02/08/23 and they were just opening the store. Fun! Maybe I was the first official buyer of a DJI action 4 hahaha
I'm honestly sick of gopro, I've owned many and the battery management is terrible and I can't believe all these years later the new cameras still have the same problem. If the camera is off the charger for 3hrs it will drop from 100% to 70% then I go to start filming at 70% and it just shuts down on low battery. This is the Hero 10 with brand new batteries. My dad has used the original osmo action and never had any problems with battery life, it will drain all the way down. The gopros just love shutting down if the battery isn't full.
I only used the DJI mic (which works very well) BUT check out this video, the concepts should still apply (Although I've not personally tested): czcams.com/video/nFy41dQShDA/video.html
Yes, for biking I went a whole day and got 35 clips approx 30-90 seconds long, with a few timelapses and static bike shots and had a load left in the tank. I also noticed it charged really quick, from 20% to 80% i timed it and it took 21 minutes.
@@RobRidesEMTB Thanks for the reply. too bad, the 422 and a clean HDMI port and we had a real Action CAM for cinematic action scenes. let's hope in the next versions, in the meantime the sensor could still grow up to the One inch 🙂
Everything is great except video quality 😂 I understand DJI paid now many youtubers but unfortunately the pov bike shots are pretty not worthy to watch. As a CZcamsr I would rather put video quality first for the long term benefit rather than a sponsorship of an action cam brand 😊
Possibly, I think when editing back the image quality and dynamic range on the Osmo is better. Also, that was 1080p, and couldn't get anywhere near the low light capability of this one.
Yes, there are always parts, that look extremely blurry (nature on the side), not sure why dji is not able to fix it, was also a problem on the previous model 🤔
I also use GoPro, great camera, but all depends on what features you like / need! The usability of the DJI is perfect for me, the way it mounts is extremely quick and easy. It makes it much easier to film content, especially speaking to camera on a bike 👍 We have great choices now though for sure!
it has about 10 mp in 4:3 sensor, so not enough pixels for true 4K 16:9 video. It uses interpolation! Sensor resolution is 3648×2736, for 4K you need at least 3840 pixels width. Also the video is pretty blurry on the borders.
@@RobRidesEMTB Don't get me wrong. I normally appreciate the concise and lucid manner in which you elucidate the products you review. However, in my perspective, it would have been more appropriate to commence this promotional presentation by clearly stating that it is a sponsored promotion from the very outset, rather than briefly a quick 4 seconds on-screen reference followed by a fleeting absence of acknowledgement.
Quite a few unbiased vloggers say that the GP11 is still better than the OA4 ' and when the GP12 is coming very soon, I'd wait a few more weeks to decide...

Pretty cool action camera i have to say ❤
You're the first review I've watch on this Rob. The Action 4 sure does make a compelling case for my next camera👍🏻
The usability of it makes it really neat, it just works, and the UI is intuitive and easy to get on with. Its a really decent user experience overall.
It's not really a review though, more of and advert when it's sponsored by DJI (lol!)
@@iloveloam276 all the other videos are from people who were given the camera at the moment.
Time will tell though.
@@McTrailRider I assume Rob has been given one too, as he stated the vid is sponsored by DJI. But yea time will tell, they do look good.
@@McTrailRider Hero 12...

It got released an hour ago how did you purchase it in the morning lol

New camera on the shopping list 👀
and it live streams to your phone while recording, very important when mounted outside my Jeep off roading.
BTW, here in Vietnam, the basic camera costs 380$ not 399$. I wonder how is it cheaper than in the US, Just bought it for myself
Hiya!. you made best footage- 😮
Oh thank you

Does dji osmo action 4 have any issues ?
Is it possible to connect 3rd party wireless mics to it? (Not the DJI mic)
I only used the DJI mic (which works very well) BUT check out this video, the concepts should still apply (Although I've not personally tested): czcams.com/video/nFy41dQShDA/video.html
So… how does image quality compare to GoPro?
Im still using the 3, full manual settings are the only way to go. Can control iso and keep stablization in dark woods. Usally 4:3 and 4k @30fps
Is the speedometer native to the DJI app? My Gopro is not working well, I want an Osmo! greetings from Brazil!
How long does it last before overheating?🤔 they’ve always had issues with that!
Yeah, GoPros tend to crash and overheat.
I did 45 minutes non stop for several times and zero overheating problems. DJI OSMO 4 doesn’t overheat!
that canyon screeems to me buy me
I hope that Gopro Hero 12 is "the bees knees" because I might have finally been pulled away as a customer...
how much is it
does it support 10bit 4k 60fps
Yes, I just checked, 4K60 in D-LOG M 10 bit
Battery life good?
Yes, for biking I went a whole day and got 35 clips approx 30-90 seconds long, with a few timelapses and static bike shots and had a load left in the tank. I also noticed it charged really quick, from 20% to 80% i timed it and it took 21 minutes.
I LIKE 🧡
4:2:0 or 4:2:2 ??
4:2:0

Actually the video quality on the raw shots are pretty good. Make sure you select 4K on CZcams settings if you haven’t already!
@@RobRidesEMTB yes, always 4k, I watch CZcams videos exclusively on a big 4k TV :)
The dark side of CZcams. Sponsored videos. Hint: keep your money, Hero 12 is around the corner ( but DJI OA4 is not even as good as Hero 11 lol).
your normal camera is sharper when going down trails

A nice try, but definitely _not_ the king of action cameras :) Hopefully next year they will have had time to catch up to GoPro and GoPro Labs.

You don’t need to put paid promotion because everything is better than Go Pro 11!!!
absolutely everything is better than gp rubbish.... there is simply no competition.. dji best though 😄

Also the video is pretty blurry on the borders.
Unfortunately dji completely destroyed image quality by over sharpness, and is a bit worst stabilisation than hero11, we waiting for hero12
hmmmm paid content. skip this (AD) review.
Have they fixed the focusing issues that plagued the 3?
You ought to have started this video, sorry, promotion, saying that you are being sponsored by DJI.
Clearly says it on screen at 0:16 and also is tagged as a paid promotion

No one is talking about how squished the picture is compared to gopro. Rob is not that skinny 😅
