Thank you for actually making a call on one at the end and not concluding with no decision like so many other videos! 👍👍
100% Agree with your review. I feel like so many tech reviewers are giving GoPro a pass on the accessory money grab, and permanent lens. Thanks for calling it how it is, EverydayDad! 👍
He always does, this is the place to come for un-biased reviews for sure.
Chuck had to return mine. That perma lens is a no go.
Becuase they are all kissing ass waiting for gopro to say thanks heres a care package but this dude is real
@@Encryptedte I see my comments about the $25 rollcage, protective silicone screen offered by go pro as a addon to protect camera and lens
IF I had to choose between getting all the extra features, including ones that dont matter to me and compromising on the final cost or specs, and choosing to have less at a lower price or better specs, then I will choose the latter over the former every time. I can choose to not buy the addons and pay the subscription for cheaper accessories and unlimited storage (which is what I need, not the "insurance" they offer) for a reasonable sub-price. The only bit I don't like is the compromise on being water-tight in order to attach the addons, even if you dont plan to take it into the water, that protection is necessary in poor weather where something could creep its way inside.
For every person whose opinion is to agree, it is another opinion to disagree. Doesn't make either more correct. Everyday Dad says himself that he has his own priorities in an Action Camera. for me, a front screen is useless because it will never point at my face so I have no need for a framing screen and as the camera will attach to my head, I have bigger worries than a damaged lens in a situation that can crack it.
The hero 8 seems built for those who opted not to get the 7, rather than those who would upgrade religiously with each new product. The Hero 9 is likely to be the next game changer for GoPro and it will be interesting to see what they come up with for that (hopefully perfect watertightness regardless of mods or not) My Hero 8 came cheaper than the OSMO Action, which decided it easier for me since I can't guarantee either in Low-light conditions.
"they're action cameras, they can take it" hahaha
Exactly! If they can't take this what can they take!
Yea except the irreplaceable lens on the GoPro 😂😂
I agree with you. Osmo Action seems to be a better choice overall.
Thank you for this video. I've been comparing both and this has helped tremendously!
I used the GoPro hero 7 as a vlogging camera in the past and the mic was its biggest weakness. So really looking forward on how the microphone mod performs. Will you be testing the mods?
A removable lens, you are the first one of all the video reviews that I watched to point this out. Thank you so much, this is actually a very big deal! Plus I wasn't a fan of the foldout GoPro mount system, but I also didn't know this made the camera that much bigger. Super review! Thanks again.
Audio is important and it would be nice to hear a comparison.
Also, some information about battery life, charging times and shooting times.
You just answered all the questions .. because i have to buy a camera for vloging thank you bro 👍🙏
Dji Osmo Action save money 💰 👍
Super glad I bought the Osmo action! Based off your first review of it! Good job!
Thanks for another great review. You are a huge help in making me decision!!!
Thanks for taking the time to do this video. Much appreciated.
thanks for the review :) il be going with the osmo action
Thanks for your video, it’s narrowing down my next choice of vlog/action cam.
Question: what are going to be upcoming competitors for the Dji action that I can look forward to?
Go-Pro had me, Hero 5 & Hero 7 Black, but they were both less than reliable, both completely failing in less than a year (of light use). so they lost me. And with this review, I know I am missing nothing new. Next 'Action camera' will be the Osmo Action. I already have the Osmo pocket and it has been totally reliable with almost daily use.
I had the cheap Gopro back in the day of forgotten things lol
I guess it was named just "GoPro Hero." Failed after few videos and never got it back from the repair.
I really like how you compare 2 brands competitively. Pillars of action has now come a long way. Always look at your videos when it comes to unbiased and real world reviews and hands on. (cheers to all everyday tech dads) 🥂
A brave recommendation my friend. Thanks for the great video.
Thanks man!
@ 3 mins 17, best line I have heard in weeks!!! Thank you!
Great review, thank you! I agree with you: I have the Hero 7 Black and dropped it while bicycling in Belgium. When I got back to my hotel room, I simply replaced the cracked lens cover with a new one ($19.99) and voila! This ain't the case with the Hero 8 Black, and again I agree: I don't like having to invest in additional gear to protect my lens cover, or GoPro's insurance plan (WTH?!). I was thinking that if I ever bought another action cam, it would be the Osmo Action, which has a replaceable lens cover, and I also like the front screen as well for framing video/photos. Thanks again for an excellent review!
You just mentioned everything I was concerned about. Great review! I'm keeping my osmo action.
Great review!! Thank you🙌🏽
Great comparison. I have been looking at the new Hero 8 for making youtube videos. But the lack of the front facing camera has continued my search. I like the features of the DJI and think it will fit my needs. Great for my videos & action when I need it. Do you know if they will be releasing a second version anytime soon? Thanks
Thanks Mate. You made my decision so much easier. I'm going for DJI OSMO ACTION.
Go pro is still my bet.. I really love your videos . It keeps me updated . Thank you brother..
just got ny Action starting to leatn how to use it stay safe oh so far love it see ya
Great comparison! Thanks for sharing this! 👍
I've used a GoPro since 2013 - and my current is a HERO6 black. I preferred the look of the HERO8 as well the audio. I'm sure both are good cameras, but I'll go with a HERO8 black.
Thanks for a great video!
Great comparison! Boost mode gave me a headache😲 Seems like the Hero 8 was designed to be accessorized for all weather vlogging more than hardcore action, assuming the add ons are waterproof.
Yeah I don’t like the boost mode that much, and for all that extra cost I wish some of those mods were built into the camera or came with it initially.
@@TheEverydayDad Yeah, for the money the mods should come with. I keep thinking G7 or something for the money, but I'm not in their targeted consumer group.
That's the video I've been looking for.
True after watching this video I bought 3 set of osmo thanks for recommending the right one
At first i was shocked about the non-removeable lens cover too on the hero 8 but then i realized i actually prefer it since im always using the dive cases with my action cameras so when i take the the camera out of the dive case to change the battery or sd-card or charge the camera on the go, i expose the lens to all kinda dirt and damage since the hero 7 and dji action goes into a dive case only without the lens cover. The hero 8 goes into the dive case with the lens cover on. But i feel yall pain there with the new design 😬
Thank you for helping me decide to go with DJI Osmo Action.
I’m curious to see if GoPro’s additional front screen will be waterproof. I want the Osmo action but have they fixed the lag yet????
When you were doing your vlog at the end with both side by side, you can see the GoPro colors are more vibrant vs the Osmo. That being said, you're right, the second screen is what makes it if you are a vlogger or are doing anything else other than action shots. Based on that and yoru recomendation Im going with the Osmo. Thanks!
Thanks Dad! The skin tone is a real consideration for people like us in the UK because more often than not, it’s cloudy and I noticed that ‘waxy’ over saturated look on the Hero 7 when the sun comes out ...... Another GP advantage is the flat profile with dial in colour temp or native. Not sure how that works on the Osmo.
Great Review. I have the GoPro 7, DJI Action (still in a box) and the Hero 8 on order. I think the stabilization from what I have seen is still better on the Hero 8 vs the DJI action. I also think for vlogging the Hero 8 will be a better option even if you have to pay more. As far as I know, the DJI action doesn't have an external mic capability yet.
Another point is even in your video, the skin colors look much better on the Hero 8 than they do with the Action.
good stuff man. hero 8 is my first gopro ever and im glad i waited haha. i love it
I like and entirely appreciate the honest comparison and I gave it a well-deserved thumbs up and subscribed as well. This kind of review that looks past the hype and breaks it down to real-world usage is all too rare these days and the positives of the Osmo speak for themselves. I'm still going to be getting a Hero8 and NOT getting an Osmo Action (or maybe I'll be getting both after all eventually) but since at this moment I own neither, the one I choose will be the Hero 8 Black mainly for the color tones seem better and the audio quality is nicer, and I intend to never destroy the lens (so I won't ever need to replace it anyway like most people won't) and it's well within my budget, so cost is not really a concern.
hmmmm there's some misinformation here at 3:00. Yes, DJI offers 4k 100Mb but it is in h.264 whereas GoPro's 75Mb (using pro mode) is in h.265. HEVC (h.265)is a newer file compression format which basically gives the same quality in a smaller file size.
The question here is whether GoPro has adopted the same older file format as DJI's or it has improved the h.265 file format. I hope you can make it clear here for us.
Thanks!!
Good! I already have the DJI Osmo Action.. no need to upgrade lol
Great and very useful comparison, thank you! I have the GP7B and yeah I love the replaceable lens cover - first day bicycling in Belgium and I dropped and broke that cover, but simply replaced it and the camera withstood the drop beautifully. Really bad decision on GoPro’s part to change this smart feature in the 8.
I think v2 of the Osmo Action will have a wider FOV or option and even nicer color profile.
I’ve have had some firmware issues with my Black 7 like plenty of other users, like the voice commands feature not always working, or not being able to turn off the camera manually and having to pull the battery to turn it off. The camera’s strengths however make these glitches more tolerable.
I won’t be upgrading to the GP8 Black, but will wait for the Osmo Action 2 instead.
Again, awesome review, thanks!
Hi my favourite is the DJI Osmo Action. I really just ordered one and it is coming the 5th.
I trust DJI more because I have had a DJI Spark for 1 and a half years now and still love it.
Hey dad. You haven't shown footages in 4k 60fps on GoPro. Does it have "linear" mode for 4k 60fps? And what about filters? If it possible to put some on GoPro 8?
4K 60 linear is possible, but 4K 60 linear with hypersmooth is not... yet? Firmware updates coming soon.
@Theeverydaydad Does the new firmware update help with the stabilization on the osmo action with ND filters on?
Are you going to do a GoPro Max review? I’m in need of a waterproof camera for a upcoming trip but I’m not sure if I should get the Max to also have a 360 camera or just get a regular action camera
I value your opinion a lot I am looking to purchase an action camera which one is the best right now
always great vids i just sent my hero 8 back,i was in 4k 60 and the camera shut off after a minute twice,plus i have a mac that's a i5 with 16gig video card on the board and a pc with 16gig i5 and amd radeon rx480 8gig on card that plays 4k with ease and on both computers the video dropped frames am i doing something wrong could it be the bit rate i had it on 100
Brilliant review.
They both look sweet. It’s not bigamy when you love them equally. 😜😂
Good stuff 👍
🤣
very very helpful, thank you! But on a side note, linear field of view is already available on the hero4 silver
I have been looking into both of these action cameras and honestly, the fixed lens cover on the GoPro is the one that tips my scale over to DJI.
How's the battery life compare? Can either be hard-wired for power?
I called it last video I knew this video was coming lol good video and Awesome shirt.
Osmo looks muddy
Best review so far 👏👏👏,can you make video about paralenz also plz
As someone who has replaced gopro lens covers, it makes the 8 a no for me.
I'm trying to get rid of that wobble caused by the stabilisation. And you said that "high settings" suppresses that, what do you call "high settings" please?
Great review btw
Great comparison Dude! As a skater, I seriously need stability in my life; my Hero 4 does an admirable job but it's time for an upgrade and since vlogging is also piquing my interest, I think you may have just made my decision a whole lot simpler. Cheers!
Great review. I’ve been thinking about adding an “action” camera to my still and video collection and with a camera show coming soon this review was both very timely... and tremendously informing.
Coming from a camera background one of the things that caught my ear/eye was your mention of replaceable filters (ND) filters. This would be a huge plus imo, especially for on the spot demos of the effects of each in still photography. Hadn’t really thought this would be an option with these tiny cameras.
I do a lot of coaching and have wanted a smaller , portable (pocketable) camera... like these I guess... to use with my athletes... instead of wearing down the battery on my phone! What do you think of using the Osmo for coaching? Most of time I can be reasonably close to the athlete, and the sport is not an action one, although either the Osmo or GP8 look like they would be able to handle it.
One thing that might bother me a bit is a comment I read here about the Osmo not having a sound jack? I noticed you seemed to be using only the built in sound, or do you have a hidden mic somewhere that you sync with the video?
Again, great review... you’ve saved me hours of research and taken me very quickly in my A-Z research to M already. I feel like I’m half way there!
The adapter is already avaliable in the market for purchase
Love the review Gary
I was close to buying the Oslo, however ended up getting a 40% discount off the GoPro Hero 8... So it was a no brainer for me :) - I don’t mind the interface on the GoPro, I haven’t used the one on th Osmo though :) as always, hey from Australia mate...
Como obtener descuento?
Interesting review; ... hmmm
Based off the many reviews I've seen here on youtube, I was more impressed with the Hero 8.
I really like the Hyperlapse feature which is a type of video I make from time to time.
It is really cool that GoPro now have it "in camera".
Anyways, both action cams are beyond what I can afford right now, so I don't expect I'll ever have either.
Here in Canada I think the cost is over $600, so it is a pricey toy to buy.
Hey buddy, in my last video I choose the hero 7 over both and the reason was the delay of the rocksteady stablizing system, what do u say about that?
My only question is how on Earth in the year 2020 do we have the capability to use a Bluetooth mic with any action camera?
But what about the the lagggg in the osmo action? As far as I know that was not solved. Isn't that a pretty big issue?
Hi I am looking to bye a camera for filming duck and goose hunting. Can you tell me which is better in low light? Since duck hunting often takes place an our before the sun goes up.
A problem whit using action cameras for hunting is that the ducks seems so small or fare away because of the fish eye lence (often ducks will be 30M away from the hunter) from your video I the impression, that bouth cameras can do this better because they bouth can record in a more linear way, is that correct ore is one better than the other here to?
Thank you for your help in advance
Hello, Can I connect the gopro 8 to my HD TV and watch the videos? If so how do I do that? I've never had a gopro before and I heard that the hero 8 doesn't have a HDMI port so I can play my videos on the TV. I'm buying it to video my 2 year old daughter and I know she will want to watch the video afterwards. Thank you for all the information!
Hi TED, I love your videos and your Potter T-shirts, where did you buy the t-shirts? Thank you.
Thanks! I think I got them at Target.
Perfect review mate. Thanks
Thanks so much!
Great video! I just asked myself who's that dude running, but then..
Really good and fair comparison!
my take away from this is that i need a hero 7 lol
Awesome review, honest and practical. Like apple, Gopro seems to try to lock us into buying more and more of their products. I think by being so greedy, they will lose a lot of their customers. Thanks for your work :-)
I like to hear the comparisons of these cameras “low light “
I agree there too
a good video. Your review is impressive and you say some things that others don't say. I also think the new gopro 8 has been created for me to pay for insurance because the lens can break. However, the osmo action still has some unresolved problems, the worst problem is the front screen delay. Finally, I have almost completely discarded these cameras when I met the 360 cameras. It would be great if you made a video with advantages and disadvantages of 360 cameras like the insta360 one x, compared to osmo action and gopro, I know they are different cameras but for real use (not as a sports camera), what are their advantages and disadvantages? I'm confused about all this. Besides, even gopro is going to launch its gopro max soon and some already say that it makes no sense to buy a gopro 8 (except for sports camera)
Thanks for the insightful and thorough review... GoPro giveth (better functionality😉) and GoPro taketh (worse form design😣).
I've heard that the front screen on the Osmo Action lags quite badly. Has that been a functional drawback for you in your vlogging use?
100k almost lets go
Lens cover options made my decission easy! I chose Osmo only because of that.
Action Cameras. I have a Hero 7 Black but rarely use it but I might have to start using it.
Here in aus the osmo action is currently discounted to 400 aud which is about $273 us. I could try and get an h8 black through the trade up system using my old broken gp session which would only be $300 usd. However, that would require shipping my old one back to the us and having the new cam shipped over here and aside from the wait, the added costs would start to get a bit pricey. Plenty of people trying to offload their "old" hero 7 blacks to upgrade and i have seen those for 400 as well so I'm tempted to go that route. Full price tho i just think there's no way to justify spending that much more for the gp. I think the lack of removable lens cover on the h8b is a huge huge misstep and pushes me towards a used h7 or an osmo action and currently I'm leaning towards a nice new product considering action cameras can be subject to rough treatment.
Appreciate this video.
How can we add an ND filter to that flat front lens? I like my screw on nd filters on the Osmo but it loses its waterproof ness. Hmm
I really can't wait for the shot mic.
Great video! Im still gopro all the way though because over all gopro still have a better quality and wider lense
I see it does have 4K linear but that not removable window is a bummer.
Great comparison. I love my Osmo action but do love the colors coming out of the GoPro 8.
I agree the colors on the GoPro are much better 👍
@@TheEverydayDad I like the more natual color of Osmo action
gopro color just look fake
14:00 now I see why you're always wearing a hat 🤣
Jokes aside great review! I have the GPH B7. Hate the new one doesn't have the replaceable lens as well.
Fishme7 don’t like the idea about the batteries either...they fit but not in an ideal manner neither about the accesorios not fitting the 8
Great review! made me decide what to buy between GP8 and DJI Osmo.
Which one is your choice?
@@rafid6419 we bought the Osmo action. We'll give it a try. 😊
Thank u.👌
Review well acknowledged and agreed upon.
I like the DJI Osmo Action vs the Hero8 Black! Thanks for the recommendation
Does the hero 8 have a stream feature where you can connect the camera to a computer, and stream the audio/video out to a live service? I know that the Osmo Action does not (and fans are anxiously awaiting THAT update.. assuming it's coming). That might make the difference for vloggers.
The Hero 8 has a 1080p streaming feature
@@FunkyExpress thanks!
Hey ... thanks for this. you, literally, hit everything I've been thinking for two weeks. First ~ have the shirt, wear the shirt, love the shirt! 'Nuf said. Second ~ spot on about the lens. I had to buy the "Plus" plan out of fear ... and because I'm not going to step back to the 7. Third ~ not quite the media release hype. Because of the modest/poor low light performance in general, and specifically with Hypersmooth 2.0, I still need a gimbal ~ but, because they made it larger, it doesn't fit any of my gimbals. Ugh! I may have to buy the Osmo Action. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your delivery and quirky touches.
Didn’t see this in your comments...Quick Select is the QS button on the left side of the DJI Osmo Action. You can set up what appears to be as many of them as you want.
What happened to 4K 60fps liner mode? They said all modes worked in all FPS in their ad.
The stabilisation comparison clips are switched aren't they?
Can it do decent still shots? Especially close range?
thanks for this review man . Now I made Choice. I want to buy SJCAM SJ8 and it is only $150. Motovlog purpose only 🙂
I love your review i am planning to buy a hero but based from your review i will now stick to my dji osmo action cam. :)
After Yi4k what do you suggest as a visual upgrade, if Money is an issue. Gopro 8 or DJI?
Did they fix the screen lag the 2 secs delay? What about live stream?
I bought the Osmo yesterday rather than gopro for the exact same reasons youre mentioning. Thanx :)
