I found this video extremely helpful for someone (me) who is completely new not only to action cameras, but filming in general. Really appreciate it!
That's awesome!
I am really new to recording my rides on my PEV, this short video has actually been the most helpful out of the dozens I have watched before hand and I agree on the neck mount. Thanks
Thank you so much for this! Really appreciate you sharing your workflow and tips. All your videos are absolutely beautiful and amazing.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for this. The tip about the snapshot function was really useful.
Who would have thought that you can make a beautiful cinematic video with an action camera.. This is really awesome..
It is awesome, indeed!
Wow! More quality information in one video then in 10 other I watched.. Awesome
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for your great videos they are so informative.
I was all set to buy the GoPro but have just ordered the DJI 4 after seeing your videos and work.
The colours and ease of use look fantastic.
What stood out for me in this video is to keep the shutter speed above 200 for the stabilisation. I would have always gone down the standard shutter rule rate so increasing it is something I never would have thought of, thank you.
Can’t wait to try it!!
Great work my friend, you know your stuff and that’s what comes through on your videos unlike the majority of people of here.
Well done!!!
Thanks. The shutter speed is something many people overlook with action cameras. I hope you’ll enjoy the Action 4. It’s a great camera!
Great video Roma - super helpful! Thanks mate.
No problem 👍
Thank you Roma for this amazing video which highlights all the critical components that are required to understand how to use this product !
You are welcome!
Excellent thank you
The only video I needed to see on my new action 4. Thank you
Cheers!
This is the best and very useful video about OA4 settings! Thanks!!!!
Cheers! Thanks for watching!
Fantastic and very helpful video. One of the most helpful I have seen.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, and thanks for sharing that LUT for free, super helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
A great instructional video about image quality and colour grading on the DJI Action 4. Best I have seen!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very informative thanks i learnt a lot
Glad it was helpful!
A good video, thank you, and your footage looks excellent from such a small camera, congratulations.
Thank you very much!
This video just made my day. I bought action cam 4 instead of Pocket 3, and now I am confident I can take cinematic shots following your tips. AMAZING. thank you brother. :)
Have fun!
Very, VERY useful, thanks a lot😊
You're welcome 😊
i really apreciate your video! subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
Thanks alot!
Thank you so much for sharing such a useful information.
Could you elaborate on the specific conditions for which you've created three profiles? Additionally, could you specify which profile is optimized for daylight Ready-to-shoot scenarios? I'm currently facing challenges in creating profiles for various conditions, such as daylight and low-light situations.
Thanks Boss🎉
Excellent Tutorial........ thank you very much.
Cheers!
super good ur setting & explaination ! im start thinking twice to upgrade other gopro 😅
Thanks!
footage is FIRE
Cheers!
🔥🔥🔥👍Спасибо!
CẢM ƠN THANKS
Ром, спасибо, полезное видео) Тоже купил себе такую камеру, тестирую) Ты молодец)
я даже подпишусь, буду по тебе английский учить)
VERY NICE FOOTAGE
Cheers!
great job Mr Roma
Thanks!
Hello, can you recommend the settings for filming a motorcycle trip with Action 4?
THANKS
Very beautiful video
Thank you very much
Very beautiful! Will you do the comparison between OA4 and GP12?
Yes.
the footage you provided at the start looks very cinematic; but from your video it looks like you are generally keeping the shutter at 1/200 or above. So are you doing anything in post to get this cinematic effect? Thank you
Great video man! I have osmo act3, and the same your nd filters, i have a problem to set correct set for have motion blur on my motorcycle video without sacrifice rocksteady stabilization...you can help me!?
hello can you give me a best setting for moto vlogging at night using dji action 4 , for some reason using auto the result are so muddy and nice video btw
Is there any other setting to be made if i am from India?
Hi. Thank you for your always good explanation. I have a question, is there a reason to set FPS to 50? I live in South Korea and I am using the ntsc method, so please let me know if it is correct to use 24, 30, and 60 as a basic. I wonder if you are using 25, 50, and 100 specifically for the CNEMATIC effect.
nice content for beginners like me.
Great video and thank you for the information. If your close subject is too dark compared to your background, you can always use a light on your subject to be able to fully expose both close subject and background :)
Cheers. That's true, but most people won't carry a light with them..
@@RomaFedorov also true
Very much appreciated for your insight and detailed settings!
But I have one or two questions to something I get a misconception: sharpness & noise cancellation - I mainly record in low light surroundings so should I keep both at -2 or rather NC at 0 or 1? I just wanr to get sharp and clean visuals but sharpness adds the corniness on screen.
Thanks in advance
I prefer to have the sharpness at -2 and NR at -1, but you can try setting both to 0 and see if it works better for you.
@@RomaFedorov Greetings Roma,
very much appreciated for the quick response. Well there is the thing - I don't see a huge difference but I just ask myself 'Why do some good videographers curse sharpness and NR?'
Is it because they rather work with post editing or is the function adding too mich distortion or make it look artificial?
Thanks in advance
@@Necrotias, in-camera sharpening and noise reduction are bad if you are going to post-process your footage because they distort the raw image and it might lead to information loss and image artifacts when editing, if you are not going to post-process the footage and going to use camera video as-is than it's completely ok to set in-camera sharpening and noise reduction on your taste, just note that high noise reduction makes image softer and eats details and over-sharpening usually looks worse than under-sharpening
@@irarabescGreetings
Thanks a lot! That's a great and useful insight and aounds logical. I used sharpness at -1 and NC eithee at 0 or -1 but since I couldn't tell a big difference and as I'm a post processing guy I changed it all to -2 in all my profiles when I read your comment yesterday.
Very much appreciated
Great vid. Great info… Makes me wish I hadn’t stayed with GoPro’s and bought the GP12 this time around 🤦🏻♂️
Yeah, I’m not too keen about the HERO12 either..
What are your reccomendations for filming in low light and at 4k60FPS?

Yo - I recently bought this camera, whenever I want to play videos I recorded on my computer it will lag doesn’t matter what size 4k or 1080. Any solution tnx
Hi all. For me, 200 shutter is a real minimum for stabilisation. It works only if you really take care of limiting your moves. I would rather set it to 400 to have a stable image when walking. Riding a motorcycle, 640 is a real minimum, but 800 is the best. Now, if I use my NDs, it’s only with a static camera (or almost static) to follow the 180° rule in manual settings. I would had that I find better to switch Rocksteady OFF and accept some natural jitter that trying to keep it with a low shutter because the result of a failed stabilisation gives unwatchable image as it’s not « natural ».
great tips
Thank you for the awesome tips ! Just started my channels and need all the help I can get
What is the best video editing suite for this camera, with my go pro i use action director, i tried to use it with this and it will not load files, well it loads some but other only sound, my videos can be upto an hour long. Cheers
There are so many options right now. I use DaVinci Resolve (it has a free version), but you also have Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, CapCut, Lumafusion etc.
Nimman area Chang Mai. I really missing it.
Thanks bro
U are the best!!! Bog help! Would be nice to have best custom button for photos bro 🙏🏻
Dji d best...
Really amazing video! The sample videos you shared in the beginning have such a high amount of detail and no noise at all even though some of them were shot in low light conditions. Not sure how you manage to do it. I am using the same settings for the videos for my youtube channel and the quality doesnt look anywhere close to your clips. So jealous 😭
The main trick is to manually expose your shots and lower the ISO as much as possible. Cheers!
Will do my best! Keep rocking 🤘
does standard fov reduce resolution ?
I think it does because it crops in. However, it's not something very noticable..
does anyone know what cage he's using for the osmo at the 4 minute mark?
Ulanzi Action 3/4 cage.
What settings do you make to shoot a panorama?
I have no clue. I never do panoramas..
❤❤
Hi! Is this video straight from the camera? Or you made enhancements/adjustments before uploading?
Not straight from the camera, all of the footage was color graded.
Yea i see at the end of the video.. thank you
😍
Рома, нужно что-то с твоей Р делать. Сильно грубо она звучит.
So you do not double your shutter speed as everyone else?
Ideally, I would, but it negatively affects stabilization performance, which is why I don't. However, if you're using a gimbal, then it makes more sense.
Bro, i have ordered a DJI ACTION 4 recently. Can you help me , i want to buy 256 gb sd card, but i dont know which is the best. I need fast and nice quality. Is it good for this action camera? San disk extreme pro 256 gb. 190mb/s/130 mb/s.
Sandisk Extreme Pro is really good. That's what I use.
If we reduce the shutter speed, and we turn OFF the stabilization, could we have a good stabilization with gyroflow?
Probably better. I'm not really sure. I still think it's going to be the best to use an actual gimbal for the best results...
@@RomaFedorovdid you use a gimbal for some of the initial footage in this video?
No @@arunr5529
@@RomaFedorov amazing. You’ve got some very cinematic footage if that’s the case quite an achievement
Can you share me your export settings to CZcams? Mine seems bad even at high bitrate export
I just use the default FCP H.264 MP4 preset. It looks something like this:
Format: Computer
Video codec: H.264 Multi-pass (Better)
Resolution: 3840 x 2160
@@RomaFedorov thank you. You made the final push for me to buy Action 4 last week. I even got it a lot cheaper from a DJI distributor
Awesome! it's a great little camera!@@TerVentures
@@RomaFedorovhi Roma, can you colour grade 10bit with H624 codec.?
I thought you could only colour grade 10bit with HVEC codec, I’m confused
Do you use ND filters while moving?
Yes.
with variable shutter speed from 1/200 to 1/8000?@@RomaFedorov
and the nd filters?
FREEWELL nd filters
Am I crazy for thinking an action camera can replace a mirrorless for studio and general videography? Yes you lose some quality and things like the bokeh effect, but the versatility and portability is insane, especially when I'm already carrying an action camera on my helmet (motorcycle). The mirrorless is big and tripod bulky. Another great video, Roma!
I’d never do that, but that’s because it’s my work to film. However, if I wasn’t doing it for a living, I’d rather have both an action camera and a compact mirrorless camera with variety of lenses.
Why mine seems out of focus when i vlog?
Maybe because you're too close to the lens? The minimum focus distance on this camera is 40cm I believe. Are you staying at least 40cm away from the lens when vlogging?
@@RomaFedorov means that i should extend my tripod to 15+ inches ( 40cm+ ) to be in focus? I vlog to to close from the lens. Im gonna try tomorrow at least 40cm away. Thank you so much for replying me!!! more power and more content! 🖤
why not lock double the framerate with your shutter? Gives way more cinematic look
Because it decreases the stabilization performance...
@@RomaFedorov I really have no problem with that at all
I paused @2:48 to see Manual Exposure vs Auto Exposure.
Literally 0 difference!
Does anyone else see any differences? And if Yes, where?
Очень полезно! Спасибо! Жду свою камеру в ближайшие дни. Уже есть план и я буду его придерживаться)
Best of luck!
I’m giving up my laptop just to get Osmo Action 4 and rebuild my channel 😢
Unsure if it’s even a logical question, however, any iPhone App you’d recommend for video editing?
Lumafusion!
VLLO
amazing, I don't know by IMO this footages looks better than if you use hero 11. do you have in plans test hero 12 ?
I also like the footage from the Action 4 more. I just got the HERO12. I'll start testing it today..
Can't find a sample video of dji osmo action 4 in sunny day, you all guys doing it in a cloudy days WTF
better than Gopro Hero10?
yes
Very nice result 😊
However, I am questionning the use of ND filters in this case...
You say you shoot 25p, but keep the shutter above 1/ 200 to avoid ghosting due to stabilisation, fair enough.
But then the ND filter is pretty useless because anyway you are not following the 180° rule...
So even tho you reduce the light, you actually DON'T WANT to have the correct motion blur, therefore, the only use of the ND filter in this case is to crank up your ISOs, which nobody wants 😅
Otherwise, awesome work, I'll follow you 😊🙏✨
Cheers! Even though I don't strictly follow to the 180-degree shutter rule, I think shooting as close to a 1/200 shutter speed as possible produces plenty of motion blur in the image while still providing excellent stabilization results. And I won't be able to do so without ND filters.
@@RomaFedorov Actually, following the 180 rules would be 1/50 (in 25p) so, by setting it up to 1/200 (and for good reason) your shutter is 4 times higher than the 180 rules.
At 1/200 you have absolutely no motion blur on "normal" speed motion, especially with a wide angle.
You can check that on still pictures:
1/200s is enough to get sharp image of people walking or even running (on wide angle and depending the distance).
The angle being so wide, I am pretty sure that even a car driving around 50-60km/h would be totally sharp.
Don't get me wrong, I am also blocking my shutter at 1/200s, I am just saying that the use of a ND filter is not really adding anything in this case. This is precisely why this is good for the digital stabilisation to work properly, because since the blur is eliminated, the algorithm can track the pixels better.
From there, shootinc 1/200 or 1/1000 would add or substract more motion blur.
Or only in very special case (for example if the action cam is only few centimeters above the road on cars/bicycle or skate board fir example).
Increasing the relative speed of the foreground to the camera.
But for most "normal" movements, like the one you showcase in your video, the ND Filter is more an annoyance than anything else.
@@TaoCovillault ok captain obvious lol. every above average camera enthousiast knows this and of course a youtuber talking about action cams
@@TaoCovillault You are exactly right. I like this video and i think Roma does a great job with the A4 but the ND filters are not necessary. I bought ND filters too, never use them because they mess up the stabilization, and locking the shutter speed makes the iso go nuts too XD So they're kinda pointless tbh. Adding motion blur digitally is much better and it doesn't ruin the footage, which ND filters might do if the light changes dramatically.
@@TaoCovillault You're right. I use the stick on ND filter to keep the lens cap free from finger prints.
Why 25/50 instead of 24/60/120?
I live in a PAL country.
This is irrelevant nowadays, especially on computers.
It's still relevant if one want to avoid flickering due to artificial lighting @@laurentQLD
Chiang Mai its my home
It's my second home :)
Thanks for the video! This looks like a great little action camera. I have a GoPro Hero 7 and it does ok for my videos. I mainly place it on my vehicle and drive off-road trails in the mountains. I also run a DJI Mini-3 Pro and shoot in D-Cinelike and I want to make my workflow easier and thinking about switching to this Action 4. I like that you use manual exposure but does it do good enough in auto exposure for videos like this? This is a draft intro for my next video czcams.com/video/8-Ja3rB5PgA/video.htmlsi=UcH0Hc6VT4mObqdq
Probably better off using a smartphone camera instead of an action camera for cinematic
That’s true, especially with newer phones. However, if the only thing you have is an action camera, you can still get great results.
@@RomaFedorov jak to nastavit to focení u DJI osmo4?
Sure you can F around with manual exposure, manual WB, negative sharpness, manual iso, ND filters and all that to record a stationary, or slow and controlled shot.
BUT! You loose the core purpose of Action camera, which is: press-rec and forget, waterproof device. Yes, you can dig a grave with a spoon, but there are better tools for that. Action cameras in general ARE NOT purpose maid for "cinematic" shots, and considering that ND filter renders your camera basically useless by disabling RS and Waterproofing, just to make shutter longer defies it's core purpose.
No respect for correct shutting speed?
Ideally I'd have the shutter at double the frame rate, but it significantly degrades stabilization performance..
stopped watching after 5 seconds. that tinted look is awful
ok
Why does every youtuber make "how to make an action camera cinematic" tutorials - nobody is using action cameras for this.
Well then ask yourself Mr. Harem - because people like to try it that way too and the camera has enough room for testing and to fiddle around with the settings.
People who hike do. We don’t always bring big fancy cameras on trail. Especially when it’s a multiple day / week hike or a thru hike

Easy tiger, did you not think that the footage was very good given it was from an action camera and given this when you interested how he makes it look so good.
Great video! And are the settings the same for night situations? And about the free Action 4 D-Log M LUT, what is this? Something for Final Cut Pro?
The settings are mostly the same for night conditions, but the exposure method is a bit different. I’ll make a video about that in the future..
The free D-Log M LUT adds saturation and contrast to flat D-Log M footage, which makes the footage look more “normal” and not as flat. The LUT works with any editing software that supports LUTs.
Yes adding black bars is bery cinematoc
Without the black bars it's not cinematic!
