Thank you for including your personal settings at the end!! I'd love to hear you go into more detail on when/why you use horizontalbalancing vs rocksteady+. I'm aware you explained the differences between the two, just would be nice to hear use cases. Cheers!
Great information and content. Thank you for making this excellent DJI Action 4 Introduction video. Easy to follow the step-by-step settings with my own camera. Comments based on your experience help me as a beginner. Thanks again.
Once again thank you! Just purchased Osmo 4 hoping to upgrade from my GoPro 10. So far no overheating!!! also controls, app and wireless mic is night and day compared to the GoPro. YOU ROCK!
My test, experience: this information is hardly mentioned on TH-cam. Set your OSMO Action4 to at least 1/160sec or better 1/200sec in Rock Steady mode (digital stabilizer). The stabilizer is overwhelmed with longer exposure times and you get unusable, blurry images. So you can forget about the often recommended 25/30 images with a 50/60sec exposure time with ND filter "Motion Blur" (180 degree rule) for smooth images. You almost always need digital stabilization switched on with an action cam.
Great timing. Just made the switch from GoPro for the OA4 and straight out of the box I LOVE this camera. Audio, picture, the magnetic mount, wow. Everything I ever needed. Thanks for taking the time to make this. Great job and much appreciated 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
I want to ask your opinion. It seems that the camera focus and resolution seems a bit bad. I tried vlogging my self and my face is out of focus. NGL, It's really bad. My samsung Note 8 (it's old) phone camera is much more focused and high res than this. I was hoping a lot since it's not exactly cheap, and I want more than my phone camera, since I'm willing to spend more. I'm thinking of returning it and buy a gimbal instead for the stability.
Great tutorial for adjusting your settings, to fit your style of shooting. I will save this video if I get the Action 4, I’m still waiting to see the specs on the Hero 12. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, are any of you're custom settings for low light ? If so please let me know which one; im real having trouble learning settings. I'm used to apertures and shutter speeds from the old film cameras😮. Thanks again!!!
Hi congrats for the very edugationals videos. One question i have for you. Mainlly i am recording continuesly for hours with various resolution settings even 2k or 4k or 1920 . i notice that the camera it selfs splitting the video in various duration like for 1920 x1080 and 60fps are clips of 1 hour clips. Is there any setting which can made the long recording in smaller clips like 6 or 8 minutes duration? Not with loop recording because i am loosing clips with it if i dont press start and sto recording. Thanks please advise me
Great video! Any reccomendations for less noise at 4K/60fps when shooting in really low light with flickering nightclub lights? Curious to hear your recommendations. We have everything on auto profiles now with the low light enabled
Does HEVC drain more battery that h264 on my DJI Osmo Action 4? If so, do you know approximately how much? Find this the case in both 30 and 60 fps. As always, thanks for your videos.
Hi! “A day late a dollar short” as they say, I just bought A4 and came across your video. I appreciate the custom personal settings, very helpful for me to follow. I don’t have much experience nor knowledge in shooting photos or videos using all the settings available. Is there a particular setting u can recommend for me to customize when shooting in low light ? Like strolling around after sunset with just artificial lights around the city. Thanks in advance if you’re able to help. If not I will learn through trial and error. Lol
I have a Saramonic Blink 500, what is the Saramonic mic adapter for use on Action Cam 4? Can I use Saramonic SR-C2001?Does the mic icon appear on the screen?
I haven’t snorkeled with this camera, but I’d recommend the max resolution 4K and slow motion (120fps), plus a wide or even ultra wide field of view. There’s no telling on when to expect a new model, but DJI tends to not do yearly releases like GoPro does, so I think you’re safe to get this model now.
HI, what do you think of a gimbal for the Action 4, especially for shooting in very low light. I researched and see more options are available on the camera w hen used. I love your channel more and more❤! Thx!
Hello. My 10 year old granddaughter uses iMovie and films with her iPad. We want to get her a rugged camera- considering the DJI Action 4. She does not have a computer, only an iPad. Will she be able to use iMovie or will the app you described in this video work for her?
The question I have but have not yet found an answer to regards the playback mode. What is the purpose of the yellow rectangles? They can be added during playback, but what do they do?
Thanks for your complete turorial and setting suggestions. But I have one question; on Osmo 3 anti-flicker can be adjusted, while on the Osmo 4 I cannot see this option. How can I change the anti-flicker from 50 to 60 Hz and viceversa? Thanks for your answer
I have a question, how do you keep the screen from going into Sleep mode when I'm videoing? I do 10 to 11 minute videos, no editing, I like the camera I wanna know how you can keep the screen going while I'm videoing. Not going dark and I have to touch you to make go back. How can you do that like I'm my GoPro 10. Thank you very much good video I just bought yesterday
How do I record videos ? Clicking the red button on top or any other convenient ways ? I am planning for vlogging. If the red button is only designated, it means there is a bad ending unlike pocket 3 video button. Please suggest me. TIA
Great video. Question what tripod are you using for your action 4 on here it looks cool. Another question, we always compare 1080 vs 4k but what about filming in 2.7k no one ever seems to talk about that. Thanks
I was testing the camera in 4k 30 walking around my city and when I turn the camera I feel like the motion blur is a little mushy and nauseating. I was basically using all default settings, what would you recommend to fix this? Maybe change the shutter speed?
Some of the mounts can, but you’ll need an adapter to convert the DJI magnetic mount to the GoPro finger mount. Should be a cheap accessory you can find via third party sellers.
@@animesh8101 problem with activation, overheating, low light is sh*t quality.. and finally you are not sure if old go pro isn't better. Most of this reviews are paid I think
@@animesh8101I have one. Activation took like 2 minutes; the app basically does everything for you. I had to download a firmware update which took a couple extra minutes max. Overheating doesn’t happen, low light mode I haven’t really used yet. I bought this just to film fishing videos. “onepointeight” is just regurgitating GoPro fanboy nonsense. GoPro is great and I have no idea which is better. Quite frankly I don’t care. I chose the DJI because of the battery life and better reliability which is proven. Everyone knows GoPros overheat easily.
Im a Dj and planing to film my gigs in clubs and around night time when its not that musch light around. Will anyone recomend this camera for that or the Gopro 12? I have a Canon 50mk2 but its to many settings on it and i can only record for 30 min at the time. One more thing can i film longer them 1h on the DJI 4 ?
Would you please do a follow-up video on low-light & night mode settings? With Pro, ISO, WB, and stabilization settings? My semi-auto, Pro mode results haven’t been as good as I’ve expected with the larger sensor size. Thanks!
I have watched so many how to videos and this is by far THE best in depth and informative one I've seen so far. Thank you so much!

As always... loved your video. Keep up the great work!
by far the best video for the menu system and showing results..THANK YOU...
Thanks so much for your this! What setting would you recommend for a roller coaster?
Thanks very much for that video. It showed me anything I need to know to operate my new Osmo Action 4 and it only took 15 minutes 😀.
i just received my camera yesterday. Thank you so much, this video has helped setting up my new action 4!
Nice video 😊 what settings do you recommend for street vlogging in 4k can you please write me down the best settings ?
Very Helpful!!! Just got mine set up watching your video!!
Do you recommend the the DJI Refresh 2 year plan? Thanks for the great product reviews! 📸 💕
Great video, it's great we can stop and start when we can as there is so much information to absorb. Thanks for the video!
Very informative....you get early access to the action 5?
Excellent video and very very helpful, thank you. Just one question. Do you know any smal gimbal that we can use with action 4 ?
Thanks I appreciate the info on settings. Great video!
Hiya cool video. If city vlogging what do you recommend the gain for fulaim x5 wireless on a action 4 to be set at. Thanks😊

If you’re shooting in really low light, you’re going to get noise - the only way to reduce is to use a camera with a bigger sensor.
Nice video!! How do I quick start record with the front small screen turned on by default since I want to record myself?
Does HEVC drain more battery that h264 on my DJI Osmo Action 4? If so, do you know approximately how much? Find this the case in both 30 and 60 fps.

Now you have really helped me make up my mind. Thanks for your help.

I watched a lot of videos for this camera & Gemini is tops for me! Great job 👍 📸
Hi, could you tell me which one I can use for cycling in flat road? is it C1? and second what about if I am just walking outside? thank you
Thank you for a great video! I use osmo action 3 now, not sure if I want to upgrade yet
Wonderful video - thanks!
what you use your custom video C1,C2,C3,C4 for can you little explain to me
What tripod are you using in this video? (When you have the camera sitting on the table) It looks like it still uses the magnetic connection
Excellent tuition, thank you, will save this to guide me through my new camera.
Lots of features. How is the battery life compared to go pro when let's say just shooting mostly in default mode?
I have a Saramonic Blink 500, what is the Saramonic mic adapter for use on Action Cam 4? Can I use Saramonic SR-C2001?Does the mic icon appear on the screen?
Great video! Thanks!
Excellent video, thank you
Thanks for your tutorial👍👍
Is this same or applicable with the new DJI action5?
Thanks for the tutorial 🙏
This is called x
Comprehensive intro
Thanks for sharing
Hi, do use use a cage? Doesn't look like it. Any thoughts if any on a cage and recommended brand? Great video, so good I subscribed❤
What settings would you recommend for snorkelling? Also should i buy this or wait for the newer model?
I haven’t snorkeled with this camera, but I’d recommend the max resolution 4K and slow motion (120fps), plus a wide or even ultra wide field of view. There’s no telling on when to expect a new model, but DJI tends to not do yearly releases like GoPro does, so I think you’re safe to get this model now.
HI, what do you think of a gimbal for the Action 4, especially for shooting in very low light. I researched and see more options are available on the camera w hen used. I love your channel more and more❤! Thx!
I’d go with the Pocket 3 instead. It has a bigger sensor and gimbal so it will do very well in low light compared to the Action 4.
@Gemini_Connect Awwww, too late already vested in the Action 4!
Are there anyway I can save the settings, so that I can replicate on another unit?

Hi, why don't DJI have a spot for shutter speeds on their custom settings 😮? Love your knowledge, hate mine😢. Thank you!😊
Idk why, but I’d love it if they gave shutter speed control too.
I'm sorry I meant to ask you another question, is there any way you can tell me what situation each one of your profile settings are for? Thx

Go to setting mode scroll down to screen off when recording and select never.
What about recommend night settings? I read they should be entered manually,
How do I record videos ? Clicking the red button on top or any other convenient ways ? I am planning for vlogging. If the red button is only designated, it means there is a bad ending unlike pocket 3 video button. Please suggest me.
TIA
Hello, is it possible to record at 4k 60fps Ultra Wide with Rocksteady?
Yes
Great video. Question what tripod are you using for your action 4 on here it looks cool. Another question, we always compare 1080 vs 4k but what about filming in 2.7k no one ever seems to talk about that. Thanks
Great tutorial, have used camera yet. I'm still confused😢😢😢
Absolutely fantastic. Thankyou very much for this.👍
Useful informative video
Great review. Can you edit the video of your phone? I'm not really into editing and don't own a computer.
You could edit on your phone - I often use CapCut to do basic edits.
Thank you for this video :)
I was testing the camera in 4k 30 walking around my city and when I turn the camera I feel like the motion blur is a little mushy and nauseating. I was basically using all default settings, what would you recommend to fix this? Maybe change the shutter speed?
Same here..
H264 or HEVC?
Will I be able to shoot in 2.7k60 16:9 in ultra wide fov ?
how do you get the camera to go into photo burst mode?
I noticed the zoom function you used went up to 4x zoom mine only goes up to 2x zoom how come?
Any idea how many pixels are on the photos?
by the way how to create and save custom settings?
Can you shoot 10 bit color with the normal color profile?
Woowww so great,,so awesome tutorial
does standard fov reduce resolution ?
with dji mic, what gain in mic and in camera do you recomende ?
It really depends on how loud your subject is. For me personally, I have a +6dB gain on my transmitter and a +3dB on the receiver.
@@Gemini_Connect thanks a lot :) I will try it this evening ^^ with some +/-
Does the Action 4 have any focusing issue like the Action 3 when it was first launched?
Very helpful thank you x
In what programs can I edit the photo's RAW? I use davinci resolve studio. Can I do it in there?
For RAW photos, you need a photo editing software like Luminar or Adobe Photoshop.
@@Gemini_Connect Aah okay, thanks! So Davinci doesn't work? Heard you could do it in there as well. But I'm still learning so Idk for sure xD
Thank you, finally a sharpness comparison. Sadly, even -1 is totally over-sharpened. :(
EXCELLENT JOB !!!
thank you so much!!
To the point...........Thanks
Do accessories from gopro fits dji osmo action 4?
Some of the mounts can, but you’ll need an adapter to convert the DJI magnetic mount to the GoPro finger mount. Should be a cheap accessory you can find via third party sellers.
I hope DJI can also enable including custom presets under Snaphots in Action 3.
