Thank you for comparing all four!! So helpful 🙌🏼
So Im interested in GPS and other telemetry overlay - are you saying that the gopro11 is the only option for this? (Is aftermarket SW available for the GP12 to add in telemetry data) ? (Think motosports racing - track position, speed, rpm overlays, etc)
Super happy owner of an OA4 and never regretted after H12 came out! Ease of use, reliability, magnetic mount, battery life, low light capabilities, 10 bit dlog-m (which will match with my next dji mini4 pro), i already have an insta GO 2 for the “impossible” shots and i’m good to go! Use all of these stuff for my gravel bike rides and on vacation and i can’t be happier than that
What do you mean with impossible shots?
Wouldn't it make more sense to compare the Hero 12, Action 4, and the One RS instead (both 4k and 1" mod)?
Does it necessary to use dji mic? Is it better than just using the action 4 cameras built in mic?
Great video and all... But where did you get the Minion skin for the go3?!😮❤
Great comparison. Thank you for sharing.
I haven’t purchased any action cameras yet but based on your reviews seems like any of these would get the job done.
Curious to know what you’d recommend for a beginner.
Thanks for watching. Honestly, I'd say they all are pretty beginner friendly
Great video! I'm thinking about buying my first action camera, I'm planning on using it mainly to record my son's volleyball games. Which one would you recommend? Thanks.
First video I’ve seen in a while that’s not biased toward GoPro.
Thank you heaps for that amazing Comparison 👍... I do a lot of Drone Videos 📹 and RC Plane and was looking for doing some videos of me flying my Drones and RC Plane... which one would you recommend me ? Please... i bought yesterday the GoPro Head Strap 2.0 and would like to know if the Non GoPro Cams will fit on it ? ...awaiting your swift reply , thank you in advance
What can you suggest for snorkeling/diving action camera?
Great review. Thanks.
Also can the Insta GO3 be mounted inside a Helmet (think motorsports racing for track days)?
Great video as always Ben😃
Thanks
what are you using to edit gopro videos? It seems like the gopro computer program is gone.
I am looking to purchase one of these, it will mainly be used for snowboarding. Which one would be best? I go once or twice a year so not much, but want something i can film on that is good quality and the stills are good enough (doesn't have to be perfect).
Thanks , looking for a good comparison for my travels with family and GoPro was originally on my list but its busted support is everywhere,
DJI is great, but pre-ordering only in asia, so its also out
that leaves the GO 3 which seems to be more accomodating for everyday vlogging
I'm currently trying to use microsoft clipchamp to edit my motologs togeather but the program doesnt like my .mp4 files. when i use clipchamp i get so frustrated because hours of waiting can go up in smoke at any moment. i use a gopro hero 10 in 1080 rez at 120 frames. any recomendations on a editing program?
Ben is one of the go to when new tech goodies come out
what is the best camera to capture some cool vids for a car
Great comparison, Ben! Thanks for sharing. I got all three (Gopro 12, Action 4 and X3). Only thing is I stick with my Go2 since the Flip Up screen was not enough improvement for me to upgrade to the Go3.
Wow, that's a lot! Many fun options to chose from
Порядошно!!
which is your favorite?!
What are your overall thoughts on the action 4 you think I should get it over the hero 11/12 🤔
thank you a lot for this content...i have a question if you can help. after 1 month from now i will start bike packing trip for one year or may be more.. so what do you recommend for me from this choics?
thank you so much
Very nice video indeed. My main objective to get hero12 or action 4 is to record time lapses. As you've mentioned Gopro had more resolution in this category. I also have s22 untra which i use for fantastic timelapses . Do u think getting Gopro12 will provide me even bett e r resolution than s22?.
I think so, yeah. the 5.3K is noticeable from a jump like 2.7K or HD. The stabilization on TimeWarp is absolutely incredible, especially with a gimbal. Then again, S22 can record 8K, I believe.
This didn't help me. I still can't decide. They're all great. Thanks for this excellent comparison!
You covered everything i needed except for battery life... currently use GoPro 7 and 8's for racing but they only last about 45 minutes when shooting in 4K. I need something with a lot longer battery life as its a pain to swap batteries while the cameras are mounted.
Use a power pack straight to camera without battery
I think that you should go with the 12. the Enduro battery really makes a difference, atleast in my experience. I own a Hero7 Black and a Hero11 Black. The difference is clear; I mean, stabilization on every mode! I’ll take that. Also overheating. I’ve found that the 7 overheats and separates your recording into multiple different videos.
the lowlight possibility of action 4 is insane! 5:42 i'm amazed.
X3 and dji I left gopro last year and have been super happy
Ухожу из 360х3 в прого12
GoPro sucks
@@AVG1899W.
@GATORSK8TER I understand that
Wonder if the 1/4-20 can be retrofit onto an 11.
Great video as usual.
Thanks. Yes there are third party adapter mounts you can screw in
Does the Insta 360 One RS twin edition make sense?
Can you compare the action 2 to action 4 please?
Have all 4, For me both insta360s especially the X3 is king especially for travels. It catches literally everything 360 degrees. "Record now and frame later" is incomparable. For example,jump skydiving - only to find out gopro not framed correctly- not gonna happend in X3.
How convenient is it doing post framing in the app.. ??
@@THEDJM_ very easy and fast. plus you can make several clips by just using one captured video by reframing different angles.
I'm mostly looking for an action cam to record my travels, hotels, beaches, live events, etc... The X3 looks awesome. I'm not super savvy with technology like I used to be when I was younger, so I am looking for a cam with the easiest/least hassle program to edit and upload content to youtube, facebook, and instagram.
I still have the original Osmo Action, still works pretty good. I would like to get a GoPro. Looking at this video though the Go 3 looks pretty good, however, not sure I would want it for my main camera
Main camera to me would be a Nikon or Canon. Not these rinky dink cameras.... If you don't have a real viewfinder, how do you manage to separate and compose the image from reality ? Plus the lack of actual manual controls on the fly makes them "awkward". But that's me.
Dji action 4 is so good but I need the 8:7 5.3k from gopro for both social media platforms. Hope the iphone 16 allows for it or the DJI action 5.
I went DJI 4. I’ve never had anything to compare to but from the reviews it had enough to make it the better choice. They’re pretty neck and neck for my needs (an off-road motorcycle trip next month). I may add a 360 at a later date.
Probably a cellphone user… you would see the reality on a big screen
Go pro is more consistent in Dynamic range but dji just edges on its sensor and mounting system
@@manijasjibrylkhanl.7761 Thanks! Those were my key takeaways especially the mounting system. Also the touch screen on both sides.
Just back from my bike trip and every happy with the practicality and results. I’m an iPad user as it happens. I need to spend more time to explore it’s potential but so far so good.
How are you liking it now months later
Can I combine Insta360, Gopro, Phone, and Dash Cam videos together?
*I had the X3 but found out I don't use it as much as I thought I would have an got the GO3 which I LOVE...ALOT*
Great Jon.. action 4 for me As a predominantly recording in low light, because I’m a wedding DJ. And it looks great. But I do have the Insta flow 360 and you are right the Insta 360 app is the best by far. I will never waste money on GoPro again everyone I’ve had has been glitchy software interface is horrible.
Which of these would you say has the easiest transitioning from editing to uploading onto youtube, instagram, and facebook?
Thanks for the comparison tests but I think I’m even more confused now than I was before 😂. I need a camera to capture 4x4 videos (internally and externally) and videos on my Triumph Speed Twin 1200. I’m happy to commit to specific ecosystems. I.e I have a DJI Drone, does that have any relevance to going with the DJI Action camera? It seems GoPros are more popular where I am, however that makes me want to go with another brand even more.
Really? I think the HyperSmooth and the 5.3K is an absolute game changer.
I have a hero 10 black. Thinking about making the switch over.
Hey thanks for the Review. Could you pleased pleas make a lowlight Comparison between GoPro 12, action 4 & insta360 rs 1inch mod? The Leica mod not the 360cam.
Hmm... I could see that 1-inch winning possibly
I have seen many videos but never test a battery back up😢
Hey awesome stuff. I have the original Osmo Action, and now The X3. Wanting to get the Go3 for it's versatility.
Have you released that Google maps video you mentioned? I don't see it and would like to learn about that!
how long the battery last for single charge?
I like the Go3 but one thing that's stopping me from getting one is the built-in battery.
For real.
Hello nice video very informative.
What camera are you using in this video?
Thanks
iPhone
That Frontside 180 Kickflip tho!
Which one is best in low light?
Thank you for sharing. I'm a runner, which one of them will be the best for me?
insta 360
where can i find the video about google maps 360 please thanks
For better photo and video shooting indoor, which one is the best?
Side note, I'm using Gopro 5 now and needed an upgrade for much better video stabilisation, brighter colour (I always have to tune the video and photo brighter, just hate it).
I feel ya. I’d say go for a GoPro if you really want to because of that switchable battery.
Bro thank you for making a good video under 10 minutes!!!!
No problem! 👍
the best one for dirt bike or mob for you?
So i just upgraded from the gopro 7 to the action 4, and i'm really happy so far, i wouldn't mind a 360 camera one day, but i wanted to upgrade my normal action cam first. i do wish the OA4 had some of the modes like startrail and light painting but ah well, if dji don't then ill go back to gopro in 5 years when i upgrade again haha
GoPro 7 to GoPro 12 is a massive upgrade. I’d consider selling that DJI camera, only because of the 5.3K and HyperSmooth.
@@realbouncy Honestly i'm loving the action 4,
@@AnksRandomShenanigans If you love it, then keep it.
All I need is action 4 and insta360 x3 😊
Great video ! I use X3 Action 4 and Go3. Each of them have their own identity. I can say go3 is maybe the more easy and discret to use and really suprise also by the quality of the footages. Action 4 was a big suprised when they released it and modes are really easy to use. X3 still great also for 360 insane vdo.. about gopro I gave up after Gopro 8.. not a big evolution from 11 to 12 at my opinion .
I’m deciding between the dji action 4 and GoPro hero 11, don’t know which one to get
@@xxsilver_gamingxx389 action 4 is miles better than the hero 12 itself.
thank you very much, this was very helpful,, can you guide us how safe 100$ on gopro12 by subscription, i tried it on gopro website but it didn't work
Hello my friend, I want to ask you. I work in the field of tiles and I want to photograph my work. Is this camera suitable for me or not?
(7:22) They actually did listen... I wonder how the newest 360 holds up to the test.
I maybe missed the part where you compare the batteries of the all
Hi, quick question. Does the DJI Wireless Mic system work if you also plug it into the USB-C of the GoPro12, under the battery cover? Thanks.
It doesn't. You'd have to go 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable into the MediaMod.
Sadly, that dumb Media Mod is required
Go pro big no.. But i am super confused between x3 and action 4.. But my heart says x3 but mind says action 4. i wanna use it for moto vlogging and normal vlogging... help me plz
I would go with X3 in the day light to shoot my skating videos and the Action 4 at night
I use the 12 for daytime stuff. I’d use the a4 low light and use my x3 for hand held action (snowboard stuff).
I find the 12 to have better audio than the rest though. Which surprised me.
For indoor camera and video, which one is better, I'm a property agent and only need these for my work, no need for a 360 camera
@@klpropertylistings7094GoPro 11 🤔
@@klpropertylistings7094Definitely GoPro.
Awesome job. thank you so much.
Thank you!
You're welcome
which one would you say is the best for daily general constant casual use. Please comment your opinions
Tell me you’re a GoPro fanboy without telling me you’re a GoPro fanboy
What about you? Are you keeping any of them?
I'm shopping for a good action cam, and your video came up. Honestly I'm just super impressed of your comparison vid.
Which did u decide to go with?
i would pick dji for now
watching this review vids always make me think what if went I was on my exchange semester abroad and I use x360 instead of pocket 2 then I could ve gotten all that beautiful looking scenery everytime and I dont need to think about which angle i need to record from T.T but yea pocket 2 is nice too, and the idea of using selfie stick in a crowd kinda embarassed me XD
People complain about Gopro's mounting system, but basicslly is designed to use it for action sports, so the magnetic one from DJI is not that safe... just my opinion
What about taking photo frames from videos? How is the quality?
Im new to GoPro. Can u use them for normal day to day no action footage
Yeah, just make sure to not record in high resolution for long periods of time
Awesome video
Thanks for the visit
Insta 360 SINGLE LENS FOV + is wider than the gopro
I read that the DJI Action 4 is the only one that doesn't overheat and shut off... I was excited when the GP12 was announced but this doesn't work for longer form stuff... Plus the larger sensor makes this a no brainer... I shoot in 4K60 usually Do the 360 cameras had issues with battery life and or shutting down or record time limits?
Gopros only overheat if you shoot for long videos like 30-40 minutes and there is no air circulation whatsoever or if it's really hot already. In 25c taking 1-2 min clips is no issue, only long takes I take are timelapses and those have not been an issue. If your cycling down the mountain you will have plenty of air to cool down the camera. The X2 that I have had no issues of shutting down, just make sure you have proper speed SD card. Though I don't film more than 1-2min clips with X2 and only longer takes on timelapse (though timelapse on any camera does not heat the camera as much as video like 4k60).
@@kaltask1 I need it to run for 2 hrs so 40 mins is not long enough... my use is not as an action cam per se - more as a mini version of a camcorder... but good to know that it will at least run for 30-40 mins -
@@mediacreationsusa with light breeze it runs double that, though for 2h 40mins you will need external battery in any action cam. Taking battery out and having external power might be cooler than charging and running the camera at the same time. If you do not have any breeze or timelapse or timewarp wont do for your recording, then get the action 4.
@@kaltask1 No breeze it's inside for theater use... yeah I was gonna just run it off a bigger ext power source - the Action 4 has a bigger sensor so that's important to me too... The GP12 had the best IS though on all of them that I saw for sure...
Why do I only have to pick one? ;)
you forget battery comparison...
all 3 cameras have something better in offer then gohome12 with dji being the best for years now
Need subtitle option on - bro, please.
Can you make a video for GoPro photography ❤
What sort of things would you like to see? What subjects are you photographing?
tu sabes mucho mi primo
Insta x 3 and go pro 12 and 4 bag
5:38 do you think DJi is a good camera to use for low light shops or do you think it’s just a marketing gimmick from DJi? I’ve seen lots of videos that I’m not convinced it to Low light camera yet. Nice video!
I circled the couch (and even though it's a quick shot), if you pause you can see how much more detail can be seen in those dark shadows on the DJI. Honestly though, it's VERY similar, and I almost never shoot in low light on my action cam anyway.
@@AuthenTech thank you for responding
the dji osmo 4 in 4k 120fps vs 5.7k 30fps I would like to see that.
great comparison :) 1:16 dji looks the most sharper and details 😅hero 12 has almost 3x more mpx with 10% better image quality ! good work :D from your video i think dji is the best for me, for me image quality is the most important, not only with clean sky :D
DJI usually seems to add a tad more "digital sharpening" over the others. Sometimes I really like it... and sometimes it's just a tad too much. All personal preference at this point :)
@@AuthenTech did you not change sharpness in action 4? because medium sharpness in gopro (in 4k very visible) is way too sharp, low it is quite too soft.
You put me confused. I'm a teacher, and I go out and drive and do all these things. Which Kakira of the four nominates it for me to photograph the natural and the external trick and also shoot educational videos? And which Kakira in them has better battery life?
After shooting with my gopro and missing the shot because it was not pointed down far enough...I'm going with my X3 from now on...never misses anything.
😆
X3看起来很清楚！
Battery life???
GoPro is always best ❤
I like the versatility of the insta360 but i cant get over the video quality compared to the action 4.
Gopro hero 11 and maybe the 12 I might purchase
All are super
I was sold in the first 20 seconds..
Well explainedddds
Which good for vlog ?
Yeah 😅 I’m also deciding between the osmo action 4 or GoPro hero 12
Switched to DJI. No more overheat 😙
Hi AuthenTech. Firstly, love your videos. I was wondering if you had any extra gopro's laying around to give away? I am 16 and really like action videography, but my phone just doesn't cut it. Let me know, thanks.
