Just curious ~ Do you create all contents by yourself ? Or work with others ? So informative and so much better than other hyped reviews with many dramas ~
Well, for me, OP3 + OA4 is the best combination choice. I don't find - again, for me - too much value in these 360 videos. As for being present in the family videos too, I think that OP3 with the active tracking does a great job plus, I can leave it on a tripod and not having it always in my hands. Thanks for the info 🙏😊
@@shivamnandiofficial same, as vlog camera I would prefer DJI osmo 3, or action 4 if budget won't allow the osmo 3, but to be honest it's still a hard decision for me to choose, like I live in mountain area, it's always rainy and wet, + I am more interested in filming nature, especially the underwater ecosystem, planning to start spearfishing, so I need a camera that: 1- waterproof 2- good image quality 3- survives the heats and the colds 4- eazy to use 5- compact So I will wait for DJI action 5 and go pro max, then I will make my decision.
@@kingofdarknes2505 agreed!! Coz osmo is not waterproof and fragile… i chose dji action 4… really liking its performance and versatility. The only issue is that these camera are not useable in the dark - a point many influencers conveniently skip. Iphone or fast focus lens with dslr is then a better option.
The x4 is my go to camera atm. I love it because I focus on what I am doing, not what I’m shooting. Reframe in post if I catch anything good.. it’s perfect for what I’m using it for. I can always put it in a nice 4k action mode if I want better quality. Not to mention bullet time is really kewl with this thing.. lol but really.. it’s just a one size fits all camera.. and if I need a camera that is static.. I have action cams too.
Found your channel recently and just want you to know you're extremely helpful even to us motovloggers, you give out some very useful information and tips and it's very much appreciated!
For me the image quality just isn’t up to par. The insta 360 has this combination of distortion and degradation that is not visually satisfying. It just feels like it’s 4 years behind. However, action 4 definitely feels like the sweet spot value wise, with the added benefits of weather proofing and small form factor.
OA4 is very reasonably well priced at the moment 👍 It can produce very nice image compared to Insta360 cameras like the Ace Pro or X4. Insta360 looked too digital in most situations. X4 starting price tag is also a major turn off 😑
@@LouisLuzuka also it will be better to buy sony zv-1 m3 or zv-e10 m2, to get another focal length, cuz action 4 its 17mm and pocket 3 20mm (not big different).
Firstly, thanks for exploring the sharpness settings in the X4. While I understand the concept of shooting low sharpness first then adding sharpness in post, I'm not sure that it's the right approach with the X4, as it may lose detail as well as sharpness when set low, and that might not be recoverable later. And adding sharpness in post might add even more to the longer post production time that any 360 camera will require. Generally, I think it comes down to a choice between a 360 camera, for the advantages that 360 videography can bring, and an action camera - and while the X4 can't beat a non-360 camera in every aspect of picture quality, I don't think that there is another consumer 360 camera which could beat it at the moment. So that choice is kind of easy. For those not wanting 360 features, it's a bit harder as there are many action cameras out there and the choice between them isn't so simple. I particularly liked what you said about family occasion shooting with the X4 (ideally in reasonable light). Indeed, it's great to be able to capture everything, without having to miss the occasion due to having your eyes glued to a viewfinder or screen. With a 360 camera it's almost like having a time travel portal to enjoy years later as if you were there.
I just bought the osmo action 4 with the mini tripod.. i will be getting an extra battery.. i am going to london this weekend lets hoje i got it setup correctly.. wish you well
Thank you for your video and nice comparisons between these 2 cameras. Could you please let me know if there is a massive difference in regards of the photography? I am looking for a compact travelling camera and these two cameras fit perfectly. I don't use this cameras for jumping on the airplane, riding motorbike, vlogging etc. but mostly for my personal travels and have great memories. I record more videos than taking pics but I am wondering about the quality for photography. I would really appreciate If I could get your feedback about this. Thanks
Happy OP3 and OA4 user. I'd really want to like the X4 but maybe it's the way i'm used to shot videos, the X4 looks like more for a "passive" user (allow me the expression) and all shots i ever seen from X4 don't give me that feeling i'd like to get from a video. In my opinion X4 is good for occasional scenes in a video, just for the "wow" effect, not for the entire video. I have the feeling that an entire video shot on X4 would be somewhat "boring" with all that fisheye distortion (which you cannot eliminate without losing tons of image quality). Don't know... mixed feelings.
For the X4, there is option on the screen to choose the FOV (Mega, Max or DeWarp) and the latter will give you no distortion. But I agree, if the IQ of the X4 was on par with the Action 4, then there would be a clear choice for me to choose the X4. As it stands, I am undecided which to get. The X4 has multiple shooting opportunities with reframing etc and it's the more "fun" option, but it also require more editing afterwards to get the desired effect.
love both cameras! But I feel like the X4 is actually a better deal cause the single-lens mode can do 4K as well. Can't agree more about being the photographer in the family haha! I actually bought my X4 because of the same purpose, to be able to capture everything is more valuable when you come back to those footages 10 years later...
If am not using my pocket 3 as its not waterproof then my go to camera is the action 4.. I hope dji makes the next version of the pocket series waterproof.
Hi Tamara! I'm also looking forward to this product, I've got a lot similar porducts and is enthusiastic in outdoors, is it possible to have a talk with you on these products? This would be really helpful! (I can pay for your help if you prefer
The latest scandal about Insta 360 is the photo on their TH-cam community page showing how the X4 can be used to capture an upskirt photo of a young woman. While i confess that i have caused offence with a couple of my videos - and taken them down - I really think it is unacceptable for a company like Insta to be posting such stuff, especially as their reputation has already been damaged by the sponsorship controversy. It really makes me wonder about continuing to be a customer....
I can see getting the X4 to record my corky REELS/SHORTS music videos when I don’t have anyone to film for me. BTW is that a magnetic 🧲 mic on your sweatshirt (car narrating part)?
@@TamaraGabrielUK I gotta say thats my favourite setup and shot, I can't believe how good that holly land lark mic is, and the wide angle at 16mm doesn't look distorted, WOW. my question is, do you ever feel the need to have a backup recording or no need to have that in the lark m2 man that mic sounds so good!!!!
To be honest. The footage of the X4 looks like it came from a camera from 2010. If you don't need 360 degree shots, you're even better off with a better no name cam.
hello Tamara. I subscribe to your YT channel. I am impressed with your work. Would you be so kind and tell me if it is possible to combine videos from osmo action 4 and insta 360 x4 so that the same color profile is used? BR, Marek

Yeah, I’m a solo creator. I don’t have a team.
What app do you use in editing your videos??
I edit in FCPX on my computer/laptop, and CapCut on my phone.
Also i would like to know on your own sentiment what is the best app for creating some outstanding reels and short format videos????
Tamara, a good test, but the X4 is probably intended mostly as a 360 camera. Thinking for just vlogging action 4, more creativity X4
OA4 user here. And i really enjoyed it a lot.. can’t wait for OA5!😍
Same. Looking forward to seeing what’s new.
@@TamaraGabrielUKdo you think OA5 is coming out anytime this year?
I like how You use different microphones for individual shots. It remainds me how much gear I didn't use at all 😬
You’re certainly making the most of the Temple Meads line in this one 🚂😃

Action 4 quality is so much better than x4. All paid TH-cams are just skipping that part for x4.
I would still go for the x4, cuz 360 looks like something that will give me unmatchable experience.
@@kingofdarknes2505 of course the perspective of x4 for some shots is really good. I can’t use it as a primary vlog camera.
@@shivamnandiofficial same, as vlog camera I would prefer DJI osmo 3, or action 4 if budget won't allow the osmo 3, but to be honest it's still a hard decision for me to choose, like I live in mountain area, it's always rainy and wet, + I am more interested in filming nature, especially the underwater ecosystem, planning to start spearfishing, so I need a camera that:

The DJI definitely sounds like the better option as far as value but the 360 degrees from the X4 is a game changer.
💯
For those of us who can’t afford OP3,the action 4 is the real deal for us
Yeah, it's a great camera
indeed, I had both, but I sold pocket 3 and kept action 4 with dji mic 2. the image quality is same during day, but at night action 4 is still good ^^
@@KikoPLhmm I’m surprised why did you sell it 😮

Great video. And Swindon has never looked better.
Loved the more chill personal opinion and experience. also, how many mics total were in this video. 😂
More than I realised 😂 Best way to test and compare to save time in the testing phase 😆
Thanks for your continued reviews! I like that you put products in different contexts. Curious to know what your ideal product might be.
It depends on the situation 😊

I think the photo quality of the Action 4 is slightly better than the Action 3.

Hi, what about mounting the Action 4 on a gimbal or kind of steady cam stick - is that possible? Thanks
got the X4 and been lovin it. thank u for the comparison, tamara!
hi. i live your video. i want to ask everytime you record using action 4 do you use any nd filter ?
Thanks! Mainly if I'm shooting timelapses.
The OA4 is far better in term of resolution, it's a true 4K no a 2.x K resolution from reframing Insta x4 8K.

Hi. I used several mics in this video, at what point?
If am not using my pocket 3 as its not waterproof then my go to camera is the action 4.. I hope dji makes the next version of the pocket series waterproof.
If they do I will definitely be getting that or at least rain proof

can't theinsta also be used as a webcam? that would make it more versatile.
