As a lot of people are asking, here are the settings I used in this video: 4K25, auto exposure, -0.7 EV, Normal colour, 5500K WB, auto low light image enhancement enabled, -2 Sharpness, -1 NR, RockSteady, Standard FOV. I added no colour grading.
I love how you take the time to produce quality videos with different vlogging tools that do not cost an arm and a leg! Not only that you show us how to get the best quality video out of them.
So far this is the best review for product ngl. You cover everything and it's easy to watch. Gone get myself one and the Mic 2 as well. For Daily vlogs and travel vlogs. Thanks :)
Great video. There's always the temptation to think 'I just need to acquire xyz piece of kit and then i can get started', but you've proven that great content is possible with relatively simple equipment. Well done!
@@quaseemsiddiqi helo there, action 4 is my first camera for vlog, usually me use my Iphone XR for vlogging. from my experience, the backlight situation when use action 4 i think the reason why i choose action 4. so many reviewer highlight that situation.
@@quaseemsiddiqi You can chek in my video, the sumatera vlog all of video i use XR, and other video Still Action 4 have best stabilization compared to iphone (litterally its not apple to apple hehehe)
I got the combo to have the extra batteries. Right off I hadn’t used them, but it finally caught on with me to do some vlog practices! Great to see the call box with the flowers growing out? That’s a UK treasure! So Love your voice, and personality! The editing is amazing! You are a treasure to be around even just on TH-cam!!Another great post!🇺🇸
I thought my eyes were going wild with the emoji flashes. Hahaha. I got the adventure with the 3 🦇 🌳 🌳 🌳 and your videos have really helped. Thank you!
You should do a video of how you would set it up in an indoor youtube vlog setting!!! I was planning on using it for that in a pinch until I purchase a Sony ZVE10. Baby steps, haha!
Thanks for this video! I travel several times a year and was debating between this or the Pocket 3 for a small and discreet setup on the go. I love my Sony ZV-E10 for video when I’m sitting down for long periods of time or when I’m taking photos, but I also wanted something to complement that. The durability, weatherproofing and seeing you go out and about with the Action 4 sold it for me. :)
Great Video Tamara. These little, budget friendly cameras are definitely the way forward for new creators and/or vloggers. I've got the DJI OP3 and its phenomenal
Always love your local backdrops for your videos, and the train ride and visit was first rate! Also really like the way you use the DJI Osmo Action 4 while on these excursions. Your results are always superb and I'm betting you seldom have to throw away any low quality footage. Thanks for the tips- I've found them to be true with my A4 also.
I've taken my Action4 to Iceland, including into the lagoons, into 8 hour hikes in the dolomites, surfing, skiing, you name it and I never felt like I needed more than the single battery. Plugging into a tiny USB-C charger, 10 minutes later you're back at or almost at 80%. I may get 1 spare battery and wrap it in cellophane to have next time for tough mudder :) - not sure quite who the 3 battery case is for!
@@BluntConvozPodcast I’m getting annoyed taking it out of the case to use it… and the gimbal’s a bit annoying… I’m thinking of switching to an action cam…
@@raymondhewitt I understand, I can't really compare the 2 because they have their uses. To me the Pocket 3 is the king of vlogging (To me)..But the action 4 is great!
I love how animated you are, I just realized that when you say battery, you included the images of a bat and a tree, which I find very funny 😂 a great way to keeping one engaged 💍 --- 😎
Really helpful as an OA3 owner and been happily using for holidays and my motovlogging, with great results and durability, I was holding off for the OA5P. All really hinges on the low light developments. Thanks for your easy to follow relaxed style and continued content Tamara 👍😎💯
Hi! Im planning to get Action 5 when its release thanks for this video because Im really torn between Action 4 and Osmo Pocket 3. My question is, did you layer some colors on your edit or is this a raw shot coz it looks so good!
Thanks for sharing.....thinking of getting the Action 4 to handle some low light situations that my Go Pro can't handle. The mounting on this camera is waaaaay better than the GoPro.
Travel, general use and moto vlogging, brilliant camera especially paired with mic 2. I always have it with me and love it to record motorcycle trips, especially as I can adjust the gain settings for the mic in camera without using the full transmitter set up, I just bought the stand alone mic as I have the original mic kit which still works great with its separate transmitter mounted on my ‘old’ Action 3.
So, this is the video where I've read about the 🦇🌳🌳🌳 from your other video. Anyways, thanks a lot, Tamara. You've influenced me a lot with getting the OA4.
I just got one myself, looking forward to test it out. Thanks as per usual Tamara…by the way, I hope Shifcam sends you their mobile photography bag…is amazing
Hi! I actually thought the same, chose to get the action 4 instead of the pocket 3. May I ask your action 4 settings for this video? And do you color grade?
Hi Tamara, first of all thanks for the great video, thanks to you I started using this camera and microphone. I have a question. What setting do you use for the Mic 2 for sound? Some channels say to lower it to - levels, I'm not sure. Also, do you leave the noise cancellation on while recording and then add extra noise cancellation in FCP? Your voice sounds great in the video, I'd be glad if you could help. Have a great day !
Hi. I tend to have my mic set to +6dB (but also depends on the environment). I don’t use noise cancellation in the mic or camera, I add a little in post if needed. And I also adjust the EQ a bit if necessary.
@@TamaraGabrielUK Thank you very much for your comment. Thanks to you, I made both products more useful and became a close follower of yours. Have a great day from Turkey !
I agree on your points. I bought one some 3 mos ago and love it. A couple bad points IMO. Splitting large files, I shoot in 4K, and it splits the files at about 25 minutes, my shooting practices often just turn on the camera and let it run, I just find this annoying, and unnecessary. Second point, after my own findings, and some extensive forum searching, I agree D Log M sucks. No meta data is recorded to the file, either fumble around grading it yourself, or use a LUT to convert it to REC709......not everybody wants to output everything in REC709 :(
Loved this and will take a look at your other related vids. I have the original Osmo Action and love the simplicity and quality (in decent light). Also liked your bits about audio. Such a well produced video and you’re so natural with camera conversations. Wondering about that FCPX voice isolation effect - need to look into that. Any colour grading at-all? If not and SOOC, superb.
Big Thanks for sharing your great knowlege in Videography! Im Cyclists' for video I had used on & off the Google 7 Pro it was ok! but bulky for carrying around especially @ long distance rides wasn't too practicle. 10 days ago I purchase the Dji Action 4 too many WOWS!!!I couldn't believe that small action camera was that good! Honestly it blow my mind Of course Im regular Joe, not plan for Vloggings or anything related only for my personal use especially for long distance rides.
Very good video, thank you so much! I've got a question though.. when you say you had to stop recording and resume while inside the train (or vice versa) for the Low Light Enhancement to work, do you mean you stop the video and start a new one? or is there an option to pause and hit 'record' again to continue on the same video file including the low light enhancement?
Great video! I have this and the Osmo Pocket 3 - I think when used in tandem they are great for vlogging. When there’s plenty of light - the Osmo Action 4 blows me away versus other action cams.
Thank you, very clear review. I just picked up the DJI Osmo Action 4 Adventure Combo and a DJI Mic 2 Transmitter. For my use, it'll be more worth than buying the DJI Pocket 3 or a Sony ZV-1, which both lack the ability to be resistant to harsher conditions
I have both the pocket 3 and action 3. I end up using the action more often even though I need an external mic on it because I find it much easier to film with. Waiting to upgrade it to the 5 and sell my pocket 3. Great video as always and hope it helps DJI rid some of the last stock of 4rs 😉
Thanks for this video! May I ask if the audio in this video is directly from the Mic 2 bluetooth connection with the camera, or did you take the audio files recorded internally on the Mic 2 and sync them with the video files in editing?
Hi, did you use the diving kit while filming under water? Do you think its necessary? I know its waterproof up to 18 meters anyway but i wonder if i should buy it or not, if its worth the money? I dont really like that i cant make "standing" videos for instagram and tiktok if i use the waterproof case, but if its good for my camera i maybe should buy one anyway.
Hi Tamara - Thank you for a great quality video. Can you confirm if you are able to record the Audi on the DJI Mic 2? One whilst using the DJI Mic 2? If you use the Internal MIC on Action 4, could you use the DJI MIC 2 to record the Audio, so you have a backup?
I had my Dji Osmo Action 4 and my Dji Mic 2 for 6 months and after the latest firmware update I had big issues with the video recording freezing and the Audio suddenly stops after a couple of seconds when recording with the Dji Mic 2. When I just bought it and made many videos in Thailand I had no problems and reallly enjoy the setup, now I having problems relying on it. Hoping Dji finds out in my logs what is the problem! Cos when it works I very much enjoy what comes out of the Dji and Mic 2. I like your videos, keep it up😊
Literally ordered earlier today the exact set up you have there, including the DJI 2 TX mic. I did get the Hero 12 but I sent it back as it just fell short of what I was expecting. I decided to get it now as I've read that the action 5 isn't going to be a massive upgrade apparently and the price is nice right now. I have the Hohem iSteady pro 4 which I'll break out on special occasions. Thanks for the video, it's made me confident I've made the right choices.
@@ИванИванов-ш3э7ш I really wanted to like it but it wasn't very good in low light and had tearing in the video due to the stabilization. I got the creator bundle and found that the mic picked up far to much ambient sound with no option to adjust the gain. So I got the DJI Mic 2 but for some reason GoPro wouldn't allow it to connect via Bluetooth. By this time I had enough and sent I back. Add to that the front screen wasn't a touch screen whereas the Action 4 is. I also prefer the general colour and look to the DJI that I've seen here on YT. There's possibly more but that's all I can think of for the moment, I'm sure the DJI isn't perfect but from what I've seen since buying the GoPro, the Action 4 is a better choice.
@@ИванИванов-ш3э7ш DJI don't sell the receiver separately so you would have to buy the full mic system rather than just the Transmitter. You also have to use the Media mod for the receiver so it starts getting expensive. Also I can't use the Hohem Gimbal with the Media Mod attached. Honestly, I just wanted a simpler system that works and the DJI works best for me at an overall lower cost.
Great video! My main camera is the DJI pocket. I actually have the pocket ONE! With the 3 on order. But I'm going to be living in Thailand and Bali for a couple months in 2025, and wanted something I can recklessly bring into the ocean or pools with me. This seems like a great option. I love the pocket, but it's fragile, you don't dare get that guy wet! I was looking at the Insta360 Ace Pro as well... it's maybe a better action cam (although it's minimum focusing distance I think is a deal-breaker for vlogging when you talk to the camera). When my pocket3 arrives, I got the package that includes the DJI mic, so the fact that I can use that same mic with this camera... I think you sold me! hahaa. Plus... I don't know, something about having both cameras be the same brand, I think will just make my life / vid production workflow easier. Love your videos by the way, just subscribed.
My pocket 2 was a constant worry about the battery draining. Action 4 with the three batteries makes it a much more comfortable experience when shooting all day.
Hi Tamara! After using your DJI underwater, was the speakers the same?? Mine has never gone back to what it was like originally.. whatever I do it, it sounds muffled :"(
Hello Nice review What was your settings for diving? Full auto, or Pro (Auto exposure 100/8000 and auto iso 100/800)? Sharpness and noise reduction? Normal color or dlog? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the video, for a few months I have been wondering which small camera to choose for recording motorcycle riding and POV from photo walks, at first moment I wanted to buy insta action camera but it doesn't offer much more and has a problem of focus for objects closer, on August 28 is supposed to come out DJI action 5 for now I am waiting at most I will buy Action 4
I'm loving your content, so helpful for a newbie like me. I just record myself busking, so camera isn't really moving. How do you do that "speed up" thing at 2:28? (Boring for people to watch me setting gear up)... would love to fast forward that! Great content well made!
Thank you ☺️ The change in speed was created using a speed ramp. How you do it will depend on what editing software you use. But yeah just look up “speed ramp” and you should find a tutorial for it for your editing software.
Great video ! Thanks to you, I bought an Osmo Action 4 to record my travels on bike and I'm so pleased with the footages... Which software do you use for editing ? DJI Mimo ?
Thanks! I edit in Final Cut Pro. If I’m editing on my phone to upload to Instagram, I use CapCut. But for quick family videos, I use DJI Mimo or LightCut.
Tamara, in your opinion, do you think it's better to not color grade when using dji osmo action and/or pocket 3? Considering if I'm a new youtube. Just curious on what you think!
It’s up to you whether you want to or not. If you’re happy with the look that you get in the Normal colour profile then there’s no need to. If you want to learn to colour grade so that your footage looks exactly how you like, then you can.
🦇🌳Love my adventure bundle! I bought the two mic dji mic 2 set too. Love that receiver that you can attach to your iphone in a pinch too. I can literally vlog/podcast anywhere now!
Please. Rayban meta, go 3/3s, osmo action 4. Which do you use more and less (not asking which is better I'm just interested in your use case) Thanks in advance Regards
Thanks! I used the same settings throughout the entire video. 4K25, auto exposure, -0.7 EV, Normal colour, 5500K WB, auto low light image enhancement enabled, -2 Sharpness, -1 NR, RockSteady, Standard FOV.
Just one suggestion. When you record the video then please mention the frame rate and resolution and settings you are using for your video on screen. That will be really helpful to get footage like you. Love from India ❤️
Any idea when will dji action 5 launch. I am just waiting for it instead of getting pocket 3. Since pocket 3 lots of movable parts and there is no service center in my country
I have 2 main cameras and I dont use them much at the moment just because I have gone camera shy a bit but plan to get over it and get back to it (lol) But I have Sony ZV E10 (MK1) and the canon 200D. I like the idea of the car window mount as I could make use of my drives to and from work to vlog my thoughts. The Action 4 seems ok. Is the DJ Osmo Action 4 better than the Insta360 Ace Pro Action Camera?
Thank you for such an informative video. I’m looking to vlog (mostly to journal) and I originally felt the insta360 was more suited as I wanted something to use on the go. But I know taking files off of it can be an issue. The other option was the Pocket 3. But this video helps. So thank you. The only issues I have is the wider shot and the fact that the outer edges get somewhat warped.Any advice on that? Another thing is how long doesn’t it take and how easy is it to transfer videos out ?Also if I just hold it at arms length without a gimbal or anything how will that be in terms of video quality? Thanks again
As a lot of people are asking, here are the settings I used in this video:
4K25, auto exposure, -0.7 EV, Normal colour, 5500K WB, auto low light image enhancement enabled, -2 Sharpness, -1 NR, RockSteady, Standard FOV.

Reason 7. Unlike "some other" action cameras the software is stable and won't glitch or crash on you at any moment 😁
Never had it crash on me ever. What a reliable action camera.

Literally ordered earlier today the exact set up you have there, including the DJI 2 TX mic. I did get the Hero 12 but I sent it back as it just fell short of what I was expecting. I decided to get it now as I've read that the action 5 isn't going to be a massive upgrade apparently and the price is nice right now. I have the Hohem iSteady pro 4 which I'll break out on special occasions. Thanks for the video, it's made me confident I've made the right choices.
@@WalkingDevon Why didn't you like go pro12?
@@ИванИванов-ш3э7ш I really wanted to like it but it wasn't very good in low light and had tearing in the video due to the stabilization. I got the creator bundle and found that the mic picked up far to much ambient sound with no option to adjust the gain. So I got the DJI Mic 2 but for some reason GoPro wouldn't allow it to connect via Bluetooth. By this time I had enough and sent I back. Add to that the front screen wasn't a touch screen whereas the Action 4 is. I also prefer the general colour and look to the DJI that I've seen here on YT. There's possibly more but that's all I can think of for the moment, I'm sure the DJI isn't perfect but from what I've seen since buying the GoPro, the Action 4 is a better choice.
@@WalkingDevon So it would be possible to buy an adapter for go pro 12 and connect dji mic 2 to it?
@@ИванИванов-ш3э7ш DJI don't sell the receiver separately so you would have to buy the full mic system rather than just the Transmitter. You also have to use the Media mod for the receiver so it starts getting expensive. Also I can't use the Hohem Gimbal with the Media Mod attached. Honestly, I just wanted a simpler system that works and the DJI works best for me at an overall lower cost.
@@WalkingDevon how do you charge dji mic2?
Hi Tamara what mount is the on the windscreen at 9s into the video
Hey! The mount that came with the Action 3 or Action 4.
I'm a big fan of the action 4! Less to worry about than the pocket 3 when going outdors! :)
Hey Tamara, great vid. How do you turn noise reduction on and off?
By pressing the power button.
Great video! My main camera is the DJI pocket. I actually have the pocket ONE! With the 3 on order. But I'm going to be living in Thailand and Bali for a couple months in 2025, and wanted something I can recklessly bring into the ocean or pools with me. This seems like a great option. I love the pocket, but it's fragile, you don't dare get that guy wet! I was looking at the Insta360 Ace Pro as well... it's maybe a better action cam (although it's minimum focusing distance I think is a deal-breaker for vlogging when you talk to the camera). When my pocket3 arrives, I got the package that includes the DJI mic, so the fact that I can use that same mic with this camera... I think you sold me! hahaa. Plus... I don't know, something about having both cameras be the same brand, I think will just make my life / vid production workflow easier. Love your videos by the way, just subscribed.
Thanks so much ☺️ Yeah, they’re a really good pair and compliment each other well, especially for matching footage.
My pocket 2 was a constant worry about the battery draining. Action 4 with the three batteries makes it a much more comfortable experience when shooting all day.
💯
Hi Tamara! After using your DJI underwater, was the speakers the same?? Mine has never gone back to what it was like originally.. whatever I do it, it sounds muffled :"(
Hey. Mine sounds fine since being underwater.
“Did I lock the car?” 😂 . I get that a lot too.
😂
Hello
Nice review
What was your settings for diving? Full auto, or Pro (Auto exposure 100/8000 and auto iso 100/800)? Sharpness and noise reduction? Normal color or dlog?
Thanks in advance.
Hi 👋🏾 4K25, auto exposure, -0.7 EV, Normal colour, 5500K WB, auto low light image enhancement enabled, -2 Sharpness, -1 NR, RockSteady, Standard FOV.
@@TamaraGabrielUK Thank you ! No issue underwater with manual WB to 5500K? Auto WB is not better?
I had it on auto WB underwater.
@@TamaraGabrielUK And you keep -0.7 EV underwater?
Yeah, it was on -0.7 EV under water.
You have a go 3 I seen the magnetic attachment
Yeah, I've been using the GO 3S lately.
Thanks for the video, for a few months I have been wondering which small camera to choose for recording motorcycle riding and POV from photo walks, at first moment I wanted to buy insta action camera but it doesn't offer much more and has a problem of focus for objects closer, on August 28 is supposed to come out DJI action 5 for now I am waiting at most I will buy Action 4
I'm loving your content, so helpful for a newbie like me. I just record myself busking, so camera isn't really moving. How do you do that "speed up" thing at 2:28? (Boring for people to watch me setting gear up)... would love to fast forward that! Great content well made!
Thank you ☺️ The change in speed was created using a speed ramp. How you do it will depend on what editing software you use. But yeah just look up “speed ramp” and you should find a tutorial for it for your editing software.
Hey! How many watt charger I should use to charge DJI Action 4 battery case?
Great video ! Thanks to you, I bought an Osmo Action 4 to record my travels on bike and I'm so pleased with the footages...
Which software do you use for editing ? DJI Mimo ?
Thanks! I edit in Final Cut Pro. If I’m editing on my phone to upload to Instagram, I use CapCut. But for quick family videos, I use DJI Mimo or LightCut.
Is it waterproof like GoPro?
Yes, I mentioned this in the video.
@@TamaraGabrielUK thanks 👍
Amazing review❤
Thanks!
Are you using rocksteady when walking? X
Yes
how do you get such smooth footage? mine is always alittle bit shaky with both my action 4 and pocket 3
What settings do you use?
Tamara, in your opinion, do you think it's better to not color grade when using dji osmo action and/or pocket 3? Considering if I'm a new youtube. Just curious on what you think!
It’s up to you whether you want to or not. If you’re happy with the look that you get in the Normal colour profile then there’s no need to. If you want to learn to colour grade so that your footage looks exactly how you like, then you can.
Great information, always enjoy your videos
Thanks!
Simply beautiful footage and video❤
Thanks ☺️
🦇🌳Love my adventure bundle! I bought the two mic dji mic 2 set too. Love that receiver that you can attach to your iphone in a pinch too. I can literally vlog/podcast anywhere now!
I love my Action 4. I am curious how the Action 5 will compare to the 4. I am a DJI buyer for life after this camera. :)
Hi, Tamara.
Which memory card are you using in your Dji Osmo Action 4
Hey 👋🏾 Either this Lexar one geni.us/YItQZp or this Sandisk one geni.us/WACND. They both work well and transfer footage fast.
@@TamaraGabrielUK Thanks for your advice
Please. Rayban meta, go 3/3s, osmo action 4. Which do you use more and less (not asking which is better I'm just interested in your use case) Thanks in advance
Regards
I use them all for different scenarios.
@@TamaraGabrielUK sure! Thank you anyway and thanks for your work
Great video Tamara once again. May I ask specifically, what was your Action4 settings during the intro when you were recording driving in your car?
Thanks! I used the same settings throughout the entire video. 4K25, auto exposure, -0.7 EV, Normal colour, 5500K WB, auto low light image enhancement enabled, -2 Sharpness, -1 NR, RockSteady, Standard FOV.
@@TamaraGabrielUK thanks so much sis
You’re welcome.
Just one suggestion. When you record the video then please mention the frame rate and resolution and settings you are using for your video on screen. That will be really helpful to get footage like you.
Love from India ❤️
These are my settings geni.us/878R 😊
@@TamaraGabrielUK Thank you so much for the quick reply.
Hi Tamara, will my Mic from the pocket 3 work on the Action 4?
Hi 👋🏾 Yes.
@@TamaraGabrielUK thank you!
Any idea when will dji action 5 launch.
I am just waiting for it instead of getting pocket 3. Since pocket 3 lots of movable parts and there is no service center in my country
Good image quality, I was especially surprised by the stabilization, it looks great.
It still impresses me.
What is the car mount you are using?
It’s an adhesive one that came with my Action 3 or my Action 4.
Do you got upcoming action 5 for testing?
Hi, do you vlog in 24/25 or 30 fps? Thanks!
4K25
I have 2 main cameras and I dont use them much at the moment just because I have gone camera shy a bit but plan to get over it and get back to it (lol) But I have Sony ZV E10 (MK1) and the canon 200D. I like the idea of the car window mount as I could make use of my drives to and from work to vlog my thoughts. The Action 4 seems ok. Is the DJ Osmo Action 4 better than the Insta360 Ace Pro Action Camera?
Thank you for such an informative video. I’m looking to vlog (mostly to journal) and I originally felt the insta360 was more suited as I wanted something to use on the go. But I know taking files off of it can be an issue. The other option was the Pocket 3. But this video helps. So thank you. The only issues I have is the wider shot and the fact that the outer edges get somewhat warped.Any advice on that? Another thing is how long doesn’t it take and how easy is it to transfer videos out ?Also if I just hold it at arms length without a gimbal or anything how will that be in terms of video quality? Thanks again
Got it and love it!! 🦇🌳🌳🌳
