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.
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 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 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
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!
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.
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 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
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?
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
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!!!
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.
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
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.
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! 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
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?
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!
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.
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
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
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 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?
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
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 ?
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!

Me too - sick of gopro unreliability!

Thanks for the very informative content, I just bought my DJI Action 4 adventure combo, enjoying all the way from Kenya.
So helpful! Especially appreciated your personal settings!
WOW! I just bought my action 4 today. This video is so helpful. Thank you

Just acquired my Action 4 and this very professional tutorial has been very helpful! Thanks very much👍👍👍
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 😀.
Thank you. What setting do you recommend for a car POV video
Thanks! By far the best one I've seen so far!
i just received my camera yesterday. Thank you so much, this video has helped setting up my new action 4!
Great video, you clearly put so much work into these. Well done and thank you for this informative coverage.
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.
Nice video 😊 what settings do you recommend for street vlogging in 4k can you please write me down the best settings ?
Excellent video and very very helpful, thank you. Just one question. Do you know any smal gimbal that we can use with action 4 ?

by far the best video for the menu system and showing results..THANK YOU...
I watched a lot of videos for this camera & Gemini is tops for me! Great job 👍 📸
This is called x
Comprehensive intro
Thanks for sharing
Nice video!! How do I quick start record with the front small screen turned on by default since I want to record myself?
As always... loved your video. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much for your this! What setting would you recommend for a roller coaster?
Very Helpful!!! Just got mine set up watching your video!!

Any idea how many pixels are on the photos?
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😊
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!!!
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!
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.
Thank you for a great video! I use osmo action 3 now, not sure if I want to upgrade yet
Hello, is it possible to record at 4k 60fps Ultra Wide with Rocksteady?
Yes
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
Is this same or applicable with the new DJI action5?
by the way how to create and save custom settings?
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
Thanks I appreciate the info on settings. Great video!
Now you have really helped me make up my mind. Thanks for your help.
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.
Excellent tuition, thank you, will save this to guide me through my new camera.
Very informative....you get early access to the action 5?
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
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! 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
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.
Useful. Thanks.
Lots of features. How is the battery life compared to go pro when let's say just shooting mostly in default mode?
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 +/-
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?
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❤
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!
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.
Are there anyway I can save the settings, so that I can replicate on another unit?
Well explained. Thanks
What about recommend night settings? I read they should be entered manually,
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.
Great tutorial, have used camera yet. I'm still confused😢😢😢
Thanks for the tutorial 🙏
What settings do you make to shoot a panorama?
Honestly I don’t shoot panoramas with this camera. It’s easier to do on an iPhone or the DJI Pocket
Thank you@@Gemini_Connect
I hope DJI can also enable including custom presets under Snaphots in Action 3.
correct me if im wrong, the higher the fps the better video recording while on moving.
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 have the Osmo action 5 and I can’t get my dji mic to work with it. Any suggestions
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
how do you get the camera to go into photo burst mode?
Will I be able to shoot in 2.7k60 16:9 in ultra wide fov ?
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
Wonderful video - thanks!
Does the Action 4 have any focusing issue like the Action 3 when it was first launched?
To the point...........Thanks
H264 or HEVC?
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!
Thank you, finally a sharpness comparison. Sadly, even -1 is totally over-sharpened. :(
Excellent video, thank you
I noticed the zoom function you used went up to 4x zoom mine only goes up to 2x zoom how come?
does standard fov reduce resolution ?
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..
What editing software are you using? could you recommend one? Is i movie a good start?
Davinci Resolve is the best option
Thanks. I 'll try.@@1Know1tHurts
Thanks for your tutorial👍👍
I have a question, how do you keep the screen from going into Sleep mode when I'm videoing?

Go to setting mode scroll down to screen off when recording and select never.
At frame 14:44 I see you can also select below 2 sec (1 sec and 0.5 sec). I don't see this on my Action 4. Do you know why?
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 ?
thank you so much!!
Imformative video
Absolutely fantastic. Thankyou very much for this.👍
can you please suggest the best memory card for action 4
Links in description
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
Can you shoot 10 bit color with the normal color profile?
What should I get in in GoPro
Thank you for this video :)
I can't download the any videos off my action 4 can any one help it is say that my vid can only play audio
Tell me, is the picture in your d-log also making terrible noise?? In standard everything is ok, apparently the noise reduction works.
I don’t see a problem in my footage.
I got a card and card reader from your link :)
Very helpful. Thank you.
EXCELLENT JOB !!!
