DJI is aiming for the title of best overall action camera with the all new ACTION 4. How does DJI plan on achieving this? It all comes down to the one thing GoPro had over the DJI Action camera, and that was video quality. As a father of 3, I use these cameras as all-purpose cameras. In this video, I put these two camera side-by-side in a ton of comparisons. I talk about the pros and cons of video, quality, options, user experience, durability and more. Let me know who you think takes the crown.
* Note DJI did send me the Osmo Action 4, however all tests, comparisons and opinions are mine. DJI provides product specs, but presentation was all done by me.

#DJIOsmoAction4 #goprohero11 #actioncamera - Zábava
Thank you for this thoroughly thoughtful and practical comparison between those two products. I have never owned an action camera before, but am in the market for one soon, and thus have been watching countless hours of reviews such as yours. Your presentation was by far the best breakdown and thoughtful of all the ones I've watched.. I was too tired to post a comment after watching it last night. But by the end my mind was made up about which of the two to buy but I thought I'd wait to see what the GoPro 12 might offer due to social speculation of its imminent release.
And then this morning it all came together when Phillip Skraba posted an underwhelming GoPro 12 initial impression on his channel.
I will now be the owner of an Osmo Action 4 for ground media, to blend with my DJI Mini 3 Pro for the sky, which I've been enjoying for the last 6 months.
I've watched videos of your before, all good, but this was the one that got me onboard as a subscriber. I'll be digging into your past productions as time allows, and looking forward to more insightful future presentations across the full spectrum of interests.
This means a lot. It's really easy for people to write dislikes or criticisms on peoples channels, so the praise is very motivating. Thank you for taking the time to give me your feedback.
Action 4
@@ManMan-dy6tuyou think the action 4 is better than GoPro 12?
The low light ability, the more realistic color tones, and the added F.O.V. (with less distortion) make the DJI the clear cut for me. Well done video
barely any difference in low light, just wait until go pro realeases there new cam in septemener
@@amandaburleson2035why so I can watch it overheat again?
@@amandaburleson2035 you can do that, but there’s a reason Go Pro releases iterations so often and DJI is less frequent. DJI just makes a better, more forward thinking product. They’ve always been about two steps ahead of GoPro.
The first DJI Action beat them to having a screw on lens so that you could replace a broken lens or screw on an ND filter lens. It also had the front and rear camera first. Even the DJI gives you longer film times on their batteries (DJI gives you up to 170min at 1080p, while GP11 gives you up to 137min at same resolution).
Why always have to keep upgrading a GoPro when the DJI will give you more life of product for the same price?
@@pres002 thats the thing im already testing it in desert heat palm springs 118 weather with no overheating issues thats just one part of it.
@@amandaburleson2035 Are u serious? "barely any difference in low light"??? 6:11
Infact it's barely any difference in day light, obvious different in low light.
Clean winner is the action-4 with around 95% of clearance 😉👍🏽 thanks for the info and all works you’ve done, cheers
As a mountain biker, the DJI will be my new camera! Plenty of reasons, but the main one is the low light. Those low light tests you conducted showed so much more dynamic range… the GoPro looked like there was no information left in the shadows at all. This is frustrating when editing a scene deep in the woods while riding. It just looks terribly muddy. Nice job DJI. Sorry GOPRO
Have just come from another review (dplama) and he had problems with the stabilisation on his bike. Not sure if he just had a dodgy camera but I will be holding off to see if it is an actual problem.
Also, not being able to easily grab a frame from footage is a pain for me. Hopefully something that will be added to the app in the near future.
Let's see what the Hero 12 can do, that's coming soon as well as we know.
There will be no good pictures in poor lighting. This is a video ad, I have a gopro 11 and it shoots much better at night 🤣 you need to set it to 1080 to make the picture brighter
@@aladikartalso protune instead of GoPro Colors makes low light brighter
@@Leos74how do I get protune? please
another excellent video when a new action camera drops i come here first keep up the great work.
👊👊
hey do the gopro 11 have background blur ??
@FlytPath Hey
Wicked comparison video
What's the name/model number of the mini handle/tripod you're using at 9.22 please
@@heheh3996no
Great video as always! Question: can you set a time for the Action 4 to automatically turn on and start recording a time-lapse? That's a feature I love with GoPros that I haven't seen from DJI yet.
This is super helpful! Thank you so much! I never watch full videos and I actually kept watching this for the entire video because every second was helpful. You also don’t talk too slow, so I don’t fall asleep. I was engaged and interested the entire time! I think you do a great job at getting in-depth, but without making it too technical so that someone without a lot of camera knowledge (like me) can still follow and understand what you mean! I rarely leave comments, but I felt like this deserved it because of how helpful this video is! The callout and showing the comparison of the distorted view was extremely helpful since that has been the main reason I have been holding back from getting a go pro. Now with the better low light, better adjusting for the distortion from the wide views, better battery, better user experience, being able to preview in the app while recording, being easier to connect an external mic, turning on quicker, the magnetic system, etc., my choice is clear! Thank you so much!! ❤
DJI Action 4 for me, looks fantastic and the mounting system is a game changer.
Action 4 has a big advantage over Hero 11 in low light environments. Size of sensor makes a difference.
My 2 cents, Action 4 wins.
Great review and detailed info...
It would really help if you kept one of the cameras on the left or right, instead of constantly swapping them back and forth.
Great review. We all have different needs for these small action cameras. As an Adventure Motorcycle rider I find wide angle views take away the detail. Scenery and objects seem too far so I tend to go for a more natural view out the front of the bike just as your eyes see the world. I find with both gopro and dji action 3 i keep the FOV at their narrowest to achieve this
Thanks for the comparison video. Excited to get a DJI Action 4 from a longtime GoPro user. Have a bunch of bricked GoPros.
Great review. I'm hoping the OA4 with its bigger sensor will allow me to shoot video indoors and other low light situations 👍
wow, that comparison video was super helpful for my work & thanks a ton man, for the detailed analysis. love you bro, for the video
I've had an action 3cfor 12 months and it's awesome. I'll definitely buy an action 4 for my kit.
excellent comparison & review! Two thumbs Up!!👍👍
As a GoPro user from way back, plus the 10/11, and I also own the Insta360 X3, Go 3, and Mini 3 Pro drone, you sold me on the Action 4. It looks like a big upgrade from the Hero 11, all around. Honestly, a huge positive for me that some might think is trivial is how easy it is to mount everywhere. I despise GoPro's mounting system. The GoPro is also absolutely terrible in low-light(I found this out in the Paris Catacombs), but after seeing your low-light video on the Action 4, I think DJI is over-selling what it actually does. That being said your review was about as good as it gets and I'm glad I found it, as I hadn't seen your stuff before. No worries, I'm subbed now and I'll be buying the Action 4 through your affiliate link. Do you have an Amazon affiliate link? Thanks!
Great review - very thorough. Thanks!
Very informative video. I ordered the DJI Action 3 about 3 weeks ago, then saw the out of focus problems, and cancelled my order. BOY! I'm glad I did. Just ordered the Action 4 this morning.
It looks much better. Plus I have the DJI wireless mike and that will work with the 4 very well too.
I’m pretty happy with my Hero 11 but man, having the real time recording View through the app along with other cool options is pretty, pretty nice.
Good comparison, thank you! Maybe I missed it, but I would have liked you to mention if Action 4 can show preview when recording. Something that Gopro suddenly and without any warning removed from Hero 9 an onwards and at that time forced us to buy cameras from other manufacturers.
Hello, Kabayan! Thank you for this video. Been waiting for this new DJI. Your inputs are appreciated.
What a Great review! Thanks for taking the time to do this. Action 4 is a winner here.
thanks for the quick comparison video.. i literally only got the Action 4 release e-mail this morning!
Glad I could help!
Great video. It sure seems like a slam dunk for DJI. I happen to have the DJI mics so this will be a great addition. You covered so many aspects and made it easy for me to decide.
I’d also like to point out that the image quality of the DJI was much better, in my opinion, in your presentation. For example, the underwater pool scene.
Great review, answered most of the questions I would have if I was in the market for a an action cam. More importantly it didn't have any burning feature causing me to either switch or not sleep well at night..
Great review! One question though: I had compared the Action 3 with my old GoPro 9. Using the same resolution, compression and frame rate, the Action 3 file size for each clip was 2-3 times larger than on the GoPro 9. Could you please compare the same for the Action 4 and the GoPro 11?
Hey, I appreciate the side by side footage. You can definitely see the low light difference in the dji. I have the new action4 but haven't been able to use it yet because you need a mobile phone to activate it and make sure the firmware is up to date. So I was thinking about returning it. That said, I'm thinking about keeping the action4 now after watching your video. Just need to find someone with an updated phone.
The best comparison video ever. Thank you very much for helping me to make my decision easily.
Excellent video. Action 4 looks really good and has some real advantages over Hero 11. I still found myself slightly preferring the Hero 11 pop and dynamic range in most of the side by sides. Definitely a big difference in the color profiles on each. Would you say the Action 4 has a more accurate color representation?
10bit colour so you can colour grade yourself so yes
Action 4 has more dynamic range, it's a bigger sensor.
The seconds do add up indeed, I agree 100%. The speed of the buttons really matter. When you use the camera all the time, the buttons have to react immediately.
I use the DJI cameras for Motovlogging and I have been filming everyday 20-40 GB for the last 3 years. I have 2 x DJI OA 1 and 1 x DJI OA 3 and where I thought the OA 3 would be the answer to life and everything I actually went back to the OA 1 as my main camera and then I use the OA 3 as my B-roll camera.
First issue with the OA 3 was that it took forever from when I pushed the button to when it started recording. Also when I wanted to stop recording, it takes forever and I had to look at the camera several times to ensure it actually turned off. Especially when you have it in the casing, as I have. On the motorcycle I need the extra protection of the camera. But the casing made it hard to turn on and off the camera. Something I never struggle with on the DJI OA1
Second issue: When I used and external microphone it would take even longer for the audio to start recording. So first 2 seconds of every video was bad audio. A huge issue for me, when I use it as my main camera.
Third issue was that the OA3 will overheat way quicker that OA1. I record in Africa and in the Middle East, so I would happen constantly. But the OA1 will only overheat if it's standing still in the sun recording. I never had the OA1 overheat while riding.
Fourth issue is low light situations: The OA3 makes horrible footage in low light, where the OA1 footage is pretty unbelievable good in low light. I ride after dark with just the head light from the motorcycle and the light from my motorcycle dashboard and gps and it looks pretty amazing with the OA1. I can't do that with the OA3.
I do love the footage quality from the OA3 when the light is good. It's really really good. But the overheating frustrates me big time.
I also love the magnetic mount. Very strong and I never feared loosing it from the motorcycle.
I also agree with the Quick shift button. It's great.
Another point for me in continuing to use the OA1 on my helmet is that it's smaller and lighter, and it makes a difference when I ride 7-8 hours a day.
I would love to exchange the OA3 with a OA4 to see if it has actually fixed the issues that I experienced and then I would consider using the OA4 as my main camera. But as it is now the OA1 is my go to camera. It just never fails on me.
I never used the GoPro, so I can only compare the OA versions with eachother.
The remote control is a game changer! I need it!
In general I find that the Mimo app is horrible. I can't be bothered using it as half the time, it wont connect to the camera.
One thing I would really wish for is the ability to trim the videos straight on the camera.
Excellent video!
I have to admit, on your video comparison, I picked the action 4 all but 2 of the examples. That's pretty impressive.
Hi Aldryn. Thanks for this very thorough comparison. I find one thing very difficult to judge so I need you help. To your eyes, from what you were filming, which one gives out the most accurate colors ? For example, starting @14:25, the color of your hoodie seems gray on the GoPro and more blue on the Action 4.
Great video! Thanks! Just ordered my Action 4 this morning. We'll see how long it takes to get here, and then I'll put it through it's paces!
You get "express" shipping and it's free too. I think the express is from DJI to the Ship. Then a few days later it pulls into a dock on the west coast. Then UPS runs it over a few times, and in my case, will set at the local distribution center for 2 days, then and only then, you will get your crushed box.
Awesome review, thanks. DJI OA4 seems like the clear winner to me, I've placed my order.
DJI is killing it. I’ve been limping along with my half-broken GoPro Hero 7 for years now. Amazing how much *hasn’t* changed! Mainly the over-heating a crashing problems…unreal it still has trouble with basic functions. I’ll be upgrading in the next year or so, DJI all the way.
Your videos are my go to for action cameras, simply the best.
Thank you so much for this review bro very infomative and choice changing
Good review. I had action 3 and only problem is focus issue. I adjusted it with self fixing lens by screwing lens but I had big complain before that. Anyway this action4 seems to fix it perfectly. Good review and Thank you!
Great video! I like all the information and it is a clean n clear presentation.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice review bro. I've been totally against DJI Action cams because of the terrible job they did with exposure, but this, and your sample shots have kind of sold me. The warping on the goPro is crazy compared to the action 4.
Great video im seriously thinking about the Action 4
Great thorough comparison. You still are the master of high quality reviews!
I appreciate that!
Damn, I already liked the Action 3, but the Action 4, even though it's not a huge upgrade, it looks very promising, especially because DJI updates their stuff over time. The night recording on the Action 4 is very impressive as far as I can tell
Excellent comparison. I've only seen one CZcamsr mention in a video a problem that I had already noticed in other videos and that is the problem with DJI's stabilization in slightly dark environments. this is a defect that puts Gopro on a much higher level.
Not sure that one little issue puts GoPro on a “much higher level” considering the GoPro won’t even give u much of an image at all in low light. Action 4 blows the GoPro out of the water in pretty much everything. The issue u speak of could be fixed in an update later.
@@heetseeker8017 An action camera is not often used in low-light environments. The problem I'm referring to was already felt in previous models, so I don't think a software update will solve it.
Wow! The quality difference is really huge 🤩🤩🤩
Amazing videos and great comparison
So devistated I bought the action 3 a few days ago for my surf trip on Sunday 😂oh well can't wait for your comparison of the 4 vs 3 . Hope it's out before Sunday as I might have to upgrade if it going to be better😂 awesome vid as always, love your work... long time viewer first time commenting 🤙
Video quality is noticeably better on the action 4 vs 3 especially focus distance.
Return it
You get a window to return it.
Thanks! I've had the 11 black for a month, and it overheats shooting for more than 20m with no fancy features on, 4k 30 fps. I just pre ordered the DJI 4 today, and will be returning the Hero 11.
Thanks for the idea. I'm facing a choice now: GP11 for $300 or Osmo4 for $400. I guess second option is to go :)
The DJI looks like a clear winner here. But I gotta admit, in bright light settings, the GoPro video looks more vibrant and sharper due to increased contrast. Is there a colour setting on the DJI to simulate this appearance... like a vibrant color setting? Also, if the DJI (or GoPro) is on a tripod, for example, is there something to protect the lens? The case does not appear to protect the lens.
A moment of silence for those who bought the Dji Action 3 recently. 😅 Great comparison! ✊
Got my action 3, last month
@@bryankimani I changed my mind and luckly bought gopro11
Gopro will be coming with a new cam soon as well, so i would hold off buying anything right now till that comes out so it's a fair comparison.
I was about to then I realised it was slowly going out of stock in stores near me so I did a bit of digging and it was because the action 4 was imminent. Just ordered my action 4 adventure combo about 10 mins ago 😎
Going to get my Osmo Action 5 with full frame 1 inch sensor in August 2, 2024!🤣🤣🤣
Great point about not being able to unsee the GP11 distortion ;-) I have the same problem. The A4 looks great in that regard.
Great in depth look! I’ve noticed that DJI leans cooler/blueish (especially noticeable in your bike helmet and shirt), while GoPro is warmer. However, I’m not sure which is more faithful. Since you know what you’ve seen with your own eyes, which would you say is more accurate before any adjustments? And when you do color grade the footage, which would you say is easier to make it look true-to-life. Alternately, I’d also like to see which camera is easier to color grade to make footage look more cinematic and to match it with other cameras such as Canon or Sony.
pretty good comparison. have learned a lot.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video thanks!
thanks you good presentation :)
Great video thank you!
Thanks for the in-depth rundown. I needed some quick advice. On DJI Action 3, the internet is filled with people trying to motovlog with it and audio running too hot even when using different adapters or lav mics. Has that problem been resolved with this one? Also, what's the kind of adapter that you're using? Is it USB C to TRS or TRSS? Thanks in advance.
Very good video, really appreciated it💪
Great review. I used your link to order mine.
Hope you enjoy it!
DJI certainly has mastered distortion on not only super wide but also in close ups. That's a game changer for sure. Also, quite apparent the GoPro AUTO aperture is about a 1/4 stop darker than DJ!. I like the DJI vertical mode without having to do any work in post. The 360° rotation on both, that's a KOOL feature. The Magnet mount, NR & Front Touch screen, wireless audio, and ability to see what your recording on your phone in REALTIME are life changing options today. I've stayed will GoPro since the beginning, however... DJI has got my attention when I buy my next action camera.
I was sold on GoPro and thought that is the Hero 12 wasn't a decent step up, the 11 would be my choice as I like the daytime color and image quality. This comparison really covered everything and really hit with the user experience comparisons. I am now thinking I will get the Action 4.
Amazing video. Thanks! 😎
Great video you help me a lot, thx you
Glad I could help
Excellent review the ergonomics of the action 4 seem way better 👏 👍
I have been waiting to when is action 4 going to come out. I usually received emails from dji on new stuff that just come out. After Watching this video an email just in from dji Osmo Action 4 is here. Buying it now…thanks great video.
Brilliant Video Aldryn. Thank you for sharing that precious info 🙏
I'm super close to transitioning all my GoPro's setup to DJI.. super excited about their reliability the strongest point for me since i use the cameras for work and unfortunately GoPro is just not reliable. The image and colors are good but it just does not live to the expectations.
Just one think i would love to see is a side by side image between the gopro 11 with Max lens and horizon lock and DJI Action 4 with horizon steady to see how they compare in quality and specially in cropping..
That is the mode I use everyday so it's massive for me to figure this one out.
Thank you again and thanks in advance in case you do such a video 🤩💖
You don't need a Media Mode on GoPro to connect external mic. There is a small adaptor for external mic for that. Media Mode really is for vlogers who need to user mic with other accessories, like light, external screen, etc..
This is phenomenal thank you
You're the first! I needed to see a side by side because I own 2 GoPro 11 hero.
Thank you
Glad I could help
Great video and comparison. Request for the future - please be more consistent in left/right placement of the compared products. It would be a lot easier to follow if the same model would stick to the same side for the whole video. Both in the cams footage and their external views (UI, ...).
Excellent comparison.. I will try this DJI. I had a gopro7 bought on 2019, after two years the shutter button lost its function.
Great video, very helpful. I've got a couple of Hero 7 Black GoPro's that are starting to get really flaky and I was thinking that GoPro seems to have gotten enough things wrong lately that I've been thinking it might be time to abandon the brand. Looks like DJI might be getting my money going forward.
Excellent video as always. Am thinking of buying my first action camera. Thinking about the DJI 4 or the insta 360 3. I fish and ride my bicycle but want a good camera. What are your thoughts as to which one. Thanks.
@FlyPath cool review. So in-depth! How does the battery life compare with remote connection to your phone for both? My guess is the GoPro doesn't send video signal to your phone because it sucks through battery life. Thoughts or experience? TIA
Another great video man. Would my Freewell filters for my Osmo Action 1 fit on the new Action 4?
Great video! I wonder why I can't find any info about the wrist remote on the DJI site.....
Thanks for the great comparison. I have a question about the under water footage, the colour from each camera is so different could you explain why this is ?
Between the two DJI Action 4 is the clear winner. Now I am going to upgrade from a Go Pro hero 10 user.
Thanks for sharing, very detailing.
Great video review! One of the feature that I would like to know whether DOA4 can turn on with voice as gopro can?
Big thanks for the insight...
Nice video, thank you!
Great video again, than you! I was in the fence between these two, after watching the video my mind is now made up to go with the DJI, much better value over all.
Great vid! Both are great
May have to try that Action 4
Thanks for the real life examples in different scenarios. Dji slowly taking the jump on Gopro. Hopefully someone buys my Action2 so I can upgrade!
Great review!
Glad you enjoyed it
thanks for all of the details and review but please keep left and right videos consistent. it's confusing to see dji on left then right. dji is slimming for people lol, nice
Thanks for the great vid
Hi! Another good and informative video. I've noticed that in one video sequence the water in the pool is more "blue" on Osmo and greener on GoPro while on the other sequence in the pool is opposite. What do you think is the reason, time of the day, light conditions or something else?
Color sensor on the action 4 will adjust to time of day
@@FlytPath thank you for that information. I one last thing. I need a advice about buying one of the DJI combo options. Here in Croatia, DJI Osmo action 3 adventure combo sells for 515 $ which includes 3 batteries, multifunctional battery case, 2x lens protective cover, adhesive base kit, extension rode kit, protective frame, locking screw and charging cable. Standard combo costs for 405 $ and includes 1 battery, protective frame, 2 rubber lens protector, quick release adapter mount, adhesive base, locking screw and charging cable. Do you think it is better to buy separately some of necessary items like additional battery rather than buying all this at the time considering that some of the items are not essential?
Thanks for the video. It seems DJI Osmo Action 4 is overall a better camera. I do like the colors from the GoPRO Hero 11 better. On the DJI, images seem overly saturated. Perhaps there are settings that allow to be changed for better (true to source) results.
Great video and very helpful, except the fact you didn’t keep one product to one side. Ie the go pro always left of screen etc. so was left discombobulated looking to which side you were referring to at the time.
Nice vid! I’ve been looking for new action cam because I need something that has good battery life. Does OA4 have ability to turn off both screens to increase battery life even more?
Action 4 seems to add a lot of digital sharpening. What was your camera settings? High, standard or low? Would be nice to see a footage with low and professional sharpening in post production.
Wow! I already have too many action cameras - but you make a good case for the Action 4. Nice review!
Thanks Kelly
Was the DJI used in D-Log? I'm debating between the two but it seems like the gopro has ever so slightly better color science(that is up to preference of course) and it also seems like the OSMO does some sort of sharpening? Can that be turned off or is sharpening baked into the footage like most of their drone cameras? You can see it especially on shots with a lot of leaves, rocks or moving water
I’m so glad I waited!
Your reviews are simply the best. Full stop.
Appreciate that
👏👏👏 congratulations for the video
great vid, very informative
Glad it was helpful!
