Here's everything you need to to know about the new DJI OSMO Action Camera, from the detailed specs to how it compares against the GoPro Hero 7 Black. I've got comparison footage between the cameras, but more importantly - I tell you think that others don't: What works well, and what doesn't. I dive into RockSteady, HyperLapse, photos, quick shots mode, the dual-screen display, 4K/60 non-warped view, and plenty more!

Hey folks - thanks for watching! Don't forget to check out the full written review, as well the massive comparison footage pile here: czcams.com/video/9d8JB9_cfUg/video.html
External Audio??? Can a lavalier mic plug right in and work via the usb c or do I need to purchase the DJI equivalent of the gopro mic adapter brick that NEVER works??
@@gromzen Yup, with their adapter. I cover it around the 5:50 marker. :)
@@Dcrainmaker You spoke about needing an adapter, however it not being available... does this mean we will have the same issue with the Gopro? a massive adapter that is $50 a pop and works 50% of the time? I heard you say it will be smaller but contacting DJI they literally were unable to give me any info on said "adapter"
Gromzen I talked to the DJI folks in charge of the adapter and they said it should be pretty similar to the OSMO Pocket adapter (which is tiny, but also hard and non flexible). So we’ll have to wait and see...
@@Dcrainmaker and no idea on release date? All I received was a bunch of "I don't knows" from local store and DJI main number.
Hands down the best DJI Osmo Action review on YT
Thanks, much appreciated!
Thanks for the comprehensive video, Ray. I've watched many other reviews from people who didn't go as deep on the feature list. You answered my questions and I'm probably going to hold out for a bit and let them update a few things before pulling the trigger.
Thanks - appreciate it!!!
Thanks, guy; good info. I think competition is great, I've been putting off buying a go pro for several years, hoping they would put a screen on the front side; well lo and behold DJ I did it so I bought it and I'm loving it so far. I'm sure other vendors are going to come out with lenses, just like the DJI screw-on filters. And firmware updates will add to the equation. And one more thing that I didn't particularly care about go pro was the fisheye look, I'm glad that now it's an option with the Osmo action. Again my friend thanks again for the pros and cons of both units, I'm glad I had patients!
I appreciate your high pace and straight to the point style. Thank you.
The most honest and deep review i've seen in days. And that's why, i'll subscribe now. 😃
Well done! You put some time and thought into this, and it shows. Thank you.
loved your video. so much easier to understand for beginners like me
cant wait to use my osmo!
Fantastic video, the app interaction is something I really wanted to hear about. If they straighten that out, yeh I’d buy one.
very good review. just got my osmo action and am super stoked about using it on our trip in a couple days. great movies coming up on our channel
Great info! Thanks!
Best review so far (with REAL pros and cons). Thank you :D !!
I watched 4-5 videos so far to get a good idea of it, and you are the first to not be obvious hype-train-up-selling-osmo-youtuber :D
Thanks!!!
Stjepan Antivo Ivica im agree 👏🤘
Finally the honest review! Good job!
Thanks!!!
Got one of these coming today to intersperse with drone footage.
Thank you so much DC Rainmaker I'm glad you spoke about the audio adapter on this. I'm buying the camera, but I want them to come out with the audio adapter first before I do so. I watched so many youtube videos on this OSMO action, but no one mentioned that you can't use the Osmo pocket audio adapter with it. Thank you so so much for this information. Great review!!
Thanks, appreciate it!
Very good video! I have watched 4 videos on this subject and this is the best. Kudos!
@Leila Rose Asselin I am happy with it. Still, I probably would go for a Hero 9 now.
I heard things on this review that were not so well addressed (or mentioned at all) on other CZcams channels. In hope we'll see long-term use as well as microphone test as well soon. Great work! Thank you.
Thanks!
Great video - super slick and lots on information - thanks!
Thanks - much appreciated!!!
Best review I've seen so far,,, thanks
Thanks, much appreciated!
Straight to the point review. Well done!
Thanks Anthony - glad it was helpful!
Thanks. Very usefull information. I will go fetch a osmo motion
Most real review I’ve seen on it so far. Still don’t know which one to get tho 😂
Great review! 👍👌
Thanks! I use my gopro 7 black for solo hiking in Russia. And I dont plan to move to the new version of gopro because of unstable work of these cameras in the temperatures near 0 C. Now I will move to this DJI camera because of its ability to work up to -10C and 4K+60fps+dewarp+rockstady. All these features are exactly what I need! Thank you for your detailed review.
great review
Informative...thanks Buddy 👍
Thanks, appreciate it!
So much help thanks
Osmo IMHO is about a year or more out from me wanting one. Excellent review and very factual. Gives me a good idea about the new Osmo. Thanks!!
Ray is the clear master of this genre.
Great video - thanks. Did you have any issues with overheating/shutdown?
Great review, thank you.
Thanks Roberto!
Great review. Cheers, buddy.
Thanks!!!
Nice video thanks your sharing
That was great, much, much better overview than the other big name youtubers who have put out theirs as well.
Thanks - I really appreciate it!!!
Agreed.. watched a whole bunch of them.. this is the most grounded and least "hype-trainy" one so far.. thanks.
Indeed, hands down the best overview, no nonsense
You review really fast and I love that. Thanks. 👍
Thanks!!!
A proper comparison between the HDR and regular modes would be appreciated. Not all HDR is created equal, and if it is decent it may be worthwhile using it with a gimbal over the baked in stabilization.
Great review.. you mantion the dewarp in 4k/60, does it works olso in 1080/240?
New sub just ordered it tgank you
i love these videos you do like this.. hopefully it gets as many hits as the gopro one did.. it deserves it!
Haha..thanks - me too!
Great honest look at the new Osmo Action. I have watched a few reviews with the 'Gopro Killer' tag but looking at the real world videos you took they are very similar in terms of stabalisation. You also mentioned some of the shortcomings too which a lot of reviewers (or are they more 'influencers') have glossed over or just not mentioned.
Competition is good for everyone from a features point of view to pricing so I am happy that DJI entered the market but some less sensationalized reviews would be great.
Thanks - appreciate it! I agree, they're pretty similiar in most cases for stabilization. Some quirks on both, but pretty close.
Excellent presentation skills.
Thanks!
Great factual review! FYI, I just read DJI pushed out an update for the Osmo Pocket a couple of days ago (shares the same app) which includes Hyperlapse and downloading to your phone up to 4k 30fps, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the Action gets these updated sometime soon.
Yeah, I’ve been testing Hyperlapse and so far mostly so good (on Action). Hoping for 4K transfers soon, it really is bad to not have it.
Glad to hear a hyperlapse is a coming .
How wide the lens on this bad boy?
Thats great idea using Nd filter
This looks like a dream vlogging camera! Me
I saw many video´s on DJ Osmo actioncam , but your video is much better , we have a better view and ideas on the DJ Osmo
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Nice review covering a lot. I just want to know how it works with adapter while mounted to "something"? Can you access the hatch for usb-c port while using the frame? Mostly a question for adding ext. mic while vlogging or charging while vlogging. Both would in most cases mean I would like to have it mounted.
Yup, you can remove the door entirely, identical to HERO7 Black. That way you can have something plugged into the unit while in case.
Really great comparison of the two, glad you shared the settings when you did comparisons. They seem comparable quality-wise, where I've seen other videos where the GoPro is totally soft, and it seems like people tanked the quality to make the DJI look good, especially when those same people normally produce amazing GoPro footage.
Thanks, appreciate it!
Any word, since you had a beta testing opportunity, when the hyperlapse will be added to update? I am close to being convinced to purchase, especially when it’s now available on Amazon with 40+ accessories (chest, flexible tripod, etc.) for $329, but really want hyperlapse for our family vlogs.
Do you know when the usb c adapter is going to be available?
Hi, just one piece of information. I would like to add in overlay the telemetry data transmitted by the Garmin sensors (cadence, speed, watts, gradient etc ...) to the videos of my bike rides. What camera would you recommend and, above all, what types of programs are available today? I know that it is possible to use the Virb Edit program, but I don't know how complicated it is to use it. Thank you for your answer.
Did you try to download the videos using an Android device? Do they still covert to 1080p?
Does the Hyperlaps mode have Stabilization (Rocksteady)?
IMO it's well review. and btw, do you have any solution about gopro app who doesnt sync at all with samsung a50? thank you in advance
Does this one have the Hyperlapse that was introduced on the GoPro Hero 7?
DJI had it on their OSMO series long before GoPro, so I guess Yes.
@@vivealexcheng the answer is NO... not at launch. Just regular time-lapse that needs the camera to be kept on a tripod. They have provided beta software to reviewers like DCRainmaker that has hyperlapse just like Hero7 but it won't come out till sometime after launch and appears to be limited to 2.7k/30 not the 4k that GoPro allows but the results appear very similar to GoPro in the beta so the assumption is you won't have to wait long as it appears to be near ready for release.
I would choose this over the hero 7 right now but I would choose the Sony RXO 2 over this because of the one inch sensor!
yeah, but RX0 2 has terrible stabilization.
Great video. So much useful information here 👌
Thanks, appreciate it!
How to activate the hiperlapse movie recording function. Why my action cam does not have this function.
1 question...is there support for multiple cameras? start/stop simultaneous record?
Does this have a camera timer/countdown to take pictures with?
Loved the presentation straight to the point
It seems great but idk if it beats the hero 7. It certainly matches some of the features but that doesn't mean it beats it, and both have some advantages going for them, and GoPro already has set their name and if I get another action cam, I'll still use my hero 5 as a secondary and having them both in the same app would be nice, and having the same ecosystem overall.
Great-looking piece of kit, but a glaring minus for me is that there is no HDMI output. I use GoPro 6's as fixed cameras into a NewTek Tricaster mixer for web-streaming. Having looked at DJI's website, I can't see a hardwire video-out facility.
L Backer This is a show stopping limitation of the Osmo Action.
One thing all reviewers appear to miss with DJI kit is the lens glass durability. Mavics and the Osmo pocket are notoriously easy to scratch. I know the lens covers are replaceable but this is a major concern for me considering my GoPro lens hood is almost indestructible?
thank you
Great work !
Thanks
Are you 100% sure you didn't mis-label the footage at 5:25 ? I notice that usually the GoPro footage has hyper-saturated reds and I can't help feeling that the GoPro shot is the one on the left in that instance.
Osmo action can transfer 4K videos to iPad Pro/iPhone or not?
Wow! You appeared to be in Helsinki, quite close where I live, a quite familiar river with the bridge which marks the border btw Helsinki and Vantaa 🤟
1:46
When writing this I still struggle which one to choose Osmo or GoPro 🤨
Great review! Just had a quick question, I havent been able to find any info online about... What are the interval options for the time lapse mode? Is there a maximum time lapse duration? And technically can I run the camera on external power over usb?
There are two timelapse modes (video and photo). For photo the interval options are: .5, 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 8s, 10s, 15s, 20s, 35s, 45s, 65s, 125s. For video, it's .5s, 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 8s, 9s, 10s, 13s, 15s, 20s, 30s. For max duration, there's none for photo. For video, the options are: Infinity, 5m, 10m, 20m, 30m, 1hr, 2hr, 3hr, 5hr. I actually kinda like these max duration options. Neat idea.
@@Dcrainmaker amazing, thanks for the reply :) I've bought one today, ha
Great honest (maybe only honest one out there) overview! I just don't understand why you left out that it has no GPS?
Yeah, just not enough time in the day to cover some of the smaller nuances I unfortunately. Would have loved to dive into lack of GPS, overlays, live streaming and plenty more...but was trying to keep video to watchable length. Cheers!
@@Dcrainmaker Thanks for the reply! No worries! Keep up the good work!
Lovely review, ta. Did you shoot in Netherland?
Yup, and a bit in Finland too. I live in Amsterdam.
Excellent Video...I'm subscribed!!
Thanks!!!
time 7:57 i saw a hyperlapse option.., but i can't see it in my osmo action,.. how to get it?
Nice Review!! Can I use this camera in 2,7k 60FPS?
Yup.
@@Dcrainmaker 2.7k 60fps wide angle?
thanks for your reply friend! Thank you so much
@@JpFishingBrasil Wide is all relative on the OSMO Action - but there's no difference in crop between 4K/2.7K/1080p resolutions, however, this is crop when you go to RockSteady enabled (the same on all). There's technically no 'wide' option on the OSMO Action like there is on the GoPro. It just is what it is (whereas you can turn on/off Dewarp to remove the warping).
You must be the only influencer in the world not "owned" by Frank. Respect dude...
Thanks! I just call it like it is.
I was thinking buying it but FOV is too narrow for action camera. Gopro dont need front screen because its wide. I will wait for Gopro 8
Thanks for this perfect video. Don’t you think osmo action stabilization is working very close to the new one on gopro8?!!!
Probably close but hero 8 is on a different league.
I know this may be a dumb question but can the camera shoot at 24fps?
Why would you want that?
@@gamingvariation1323 i'm presuming it's to have that movie/cinema feel to the video.
I love my GoPro Hero 7 Black! There is not yet an action camera on the market that can overpass the quality of the GoPro Hero 7 Black.
Do you need a separate mic attachment.
Does it split the video files like go pro's do .
Great review. I'm sure DJI will be releasing software updates to improve.
At 7:57 how did you have a hyperlapse option?
ow do you upload share the videos from osmo action on social media and CZcams? You need laptop or desktop computer? I only have iPhone . Been taking videos from my iPhone and edit on iMovie app on iPhone and upload from iPhone. Can you edit upload videos straight from the osmo action without the need of other device ? Thank you
Does it work with plugged in power?
Uhg, I used this for the first time and getting "transcoding" errors in kinemaster. Can't edit!!
Any thoughts?
I was going to get the hero 8 but i saw this for 300 new and had to grab it lol.
No one is talking about capturing portrait mode? Does osmo support it ?
I think I'll wait for generation 2 or 3 before I buy one.
Thanks for your review. Is the microphone mono or stereo?
@RED DRAGON Thanks
How is it on battery life and overheating? Both of which seem to be a problem with my gopro.
same problem here
I totally whacked that like button, and hands down you're the best at action cam break downs. I'm very excited about the dual screens, but I'm quite disappointed that we'll need to buy an audio adapter. :( Furthermore, I like to vlog with the Rode Wireless Go and my GoPro7, so adapting the receiver is gonna be trick because I'll need to buy new mounts. Should I just stick it out for the GoPro8 and pray that they have a 3.5mm jack and dual screens built in. It's not impossible now that DJI made dual screens and GoPro have had a 3.5mm audio jack before.
There will be a something released either by DJI or aftermarket that we will be able to use with an external mic to mount to.
Just a few more months until GoPro releases their new cameras.
@@JudoSurfer , yeah. That's why I'm waiting. There's no rush to get this camera. the main attraction is the front-facing camera. That's about it.
@@thournheng731 There will not be a Gopro8. The company has just filed for bankrupcy. Hypersmooth looks like crap!
Samnang T , when did they do that? Like, right now right now?
I like the more natural look of the OSMO, detail & sharpness is Great! The mic is not bad either for a small action camera. Makes me wonder what Hero will bring for the 8? The Hero has a real competitor with the OSMO now.
Hero 8 already baked in design....so too late to "respond" to OSMO. They're probably all pretty bummed over at GoPro right now, realizing they've been one-upped for the next year at least.
@@lynnewheldenthat is true they better have thought ahead on the Hero 8. If the changes are minor Hero is in trouble. We shall soon find out.
@@lynnewhelden if you don't think big companies like GoPro don't have inklings of what their competitors are making long before those competitors announce them, you are wrong. GoPro knows what is in this camera and has for a long time. In fact DJI announcing the Osmo Action NOW as opposed to in later summer / early fall for the holidays is perhaps due to them KNOWING the Hero 8 will best their Osmo Action and them wanting the Osmo Action to instead be compared to the Hero 7 at launch. Look, GoPro has NOT performed well for years, the Hero7 was their first good update in many years, and DJI is a formidable competitor that may well be the death knell for GoPro as a company but I wouldn't write off the future of GoPro automatically just because the Osmo Action came out with a front screen 4 months before we find out about a new Hero camera.
David Corsi ☝️ I agree. I would not be surprised if the executives of both organizations agreed with each other on each other’s release dates. May even be strategizing together on their future similar products so that each product has distinct better qualities in different ways.
Very good review 👍👍👍
Thanks - appreciate it!
I know this review a month old.. I take it it didn't have voice commands when you go it ? To be able to say " start recording" and "stop recording".. that sounds extremely handy.
It did, it’s just so-so in accuracy. Not really a new feature in the action cam world.
Làm sao kích hoạt chế độ hiperlapse ? Camera của tôi k có chức năng này
G'day From QLD Australia.
what i want to know is thus,
What is it like paring with a mobile phone ?. because i need to download to edit and upload to ytube.
Gerard.
I think it all depends whether you prefer the wider fisheye rendering of the GoPro, or the less curvy look of the Osmo. The front display can help you compose more precisely, but many people just point it towards themselves and they'll be in the frame anyway. I prefer the Osmo's lens, but I may be the minority. Defishing the GoPro costs too much resolution for me. I have the Osmo Pocket, and I rarely use the phone app, I generally transfer the card to a computer for editing. Again, I'm probably the minority here.
