I wish you did another setting as well(slow motion)due to the fact your videos more articulate than others for me. Gracious!😊
I bought my Action 4 and full DJI Mic 2 kit a few weeks ago. Your channel has been my goto. You are clear, to the point and no bullshit. Subscribed. Great Content. 🙂
Thank you. I appreciate your support and hope you enjoy your Action 4 and Mic 2.
Hello. I just got an Action 4 after much research. I've had a Gopro 9 and an Insta 360, but just couldn't get the quality I wanted for recording rides on my mountain bike. I took the Action 4 out for its maiden shoot using a chest mount and all of your settings--no filters yet, but I'll probably eventually get some. The footage was nothing short of beautiful. I got right out of the box what in the past I had been spending hours in post failing to achieve. A tweak here and there needed in places, but really I love this camera. Thanks for getting me started on setting it up. I'm looking forward to seeing your future work with this camera.
Great. Straight to the point! thx 👋
Thank you.
Great tips much appreciated. loving the DJI mic 2 stop start feature on the action 4. I bought the ace pro first then the action 4 later they both have their merits and cons. These settings tutorials help immensely. Well done 👍
Thank you. I agree about the Ace Pro and Action 4 both having their merits and cons.
Always enjoy your videos!
Thank you!
I get used to use GoPro 11 last months’ I planed to shift dji osmo action 4 will you make Vidoe comparing standard compo with adventure compo?
Hi, great video! I am filming running videos, just want to ask what is the difference between ISO settings 100-800 VS 100-400?
Going to use these settings on my day out tommorow thank you!
You’re welcome. Have fun!
@@GreatDayForAHike Im in England, UK so should I do 30 FPS or 25 FPS?
@HonestTraveller Either one should be a great choice. I personally prefer the 25fps look but both look good.
Hi,
Still learning the settings. This channel helped a lot. I don’t do any color gradings. My old GoPro 4 looked a lot better than my Action 4 footages. So I’ll try this setting u just put out. Thanks!
Thank you for your feedback. I hope you find these settings yield better footage for you.
Thank u man. U just saved me from going ther channels wasting the time. I got my settings for vlogging. 👍
You’re welcome.
How does your ulanzi tripod fair against harsher winds? How do you stop it from falling when its windy but you want to travel ir hike light. Do you have a hack to secure the tripod stand or you just use a more expensive heavier one?
Too vid as always buddy. How steady do you find the tripod for stability on rough ground? Is there enough clearance with the base?
Thank you. Yes I find the tripod to be pretty stable, especially with how wide I can spread the legs on it. The base can also be adjusted to have less of a spread depending on the need. For a less than $30 tripod that also doubles as a selfie stick I’ve been quite happy with it.
@@GreatDayForAHikethanks for the reply, that’s useful info.
Ive upgraded to the 4 so will put these settings in. I upgraded because the 4 was supposed to be better in low light than the 3. What low light settings would you recommend?
I do find that the 4 does better in low light than the 3. In this video I outline my best settings for low light filming: th-cam.com/video/d36laQxaRHA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PZ5mcfe-xLs6tivF
@@GreatDayForAHike Thanks👍
I’m thinking of getting an action camera and torn between the Gopro hero 10 and the Osmo Action 3. I’m a beginner that wants a easy camera and won’t have to do any editing . Which camera do you recommend that would be a good choice?
Great question. Between the Hero 10 and the Action 3, I like the Hero 10 better. However, if you are considering the Action 4 I do like the Action 4 a lot more than the Action 3. It has some nice improvements and better image quality.
Do you know a way to get rid of lens flare in the trumpet-shaped sun? They are unbearable.
Recently I purchased action 4 . when I play 4k clip on cam my action 4 and forward ⏩ suddenly my cam hanged
Solution plz ?😊
Please suggest an action camera between GoPro Hero 12 and DJI Action 4 which do you think is better to choose as I am confused between the two? Tank's
I like both and own both. I like them each for different strengths they have. If you want a good overview of what strengths each has to figure out which matter most to you, I recommend checking out this video: th-cam.com/video/mmK72Nu8v00/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9FjLGMvYobIeJPz2
OK, thank you very much, continued success with your channel

I used this and it really looks great, and then I applied original dji lut from the official dji site and prepare my video on davinci resolve (4k 25fps)H265 and upload to youtube. The problem is that the file on youtube doesn't look as clear and as rich coloured as the file on my disk, I can see like 10-15% difference. Should I set some bitrate limits or what should I do ? I mean your files look a lot more saturated and I do not know if this is because you do it manually or it's just a youtube conversion loss for me.
Great question. So the file I uploaded to TH-cam was exported as h.264 and had a bitrate of 56Mbps. I did add some saturation to the level of my liking. It is worth noting that TH-cam will apply some compression to your video, so even this file here looks better on my computer than it does on TH-cam.
@@GreatDayForAHike Okay thanks for the fast response. So as far as I checked official yt limits, for 4k 25 fps they recommend max 45 Mbps and for 60 fps max 68Mbps.
Of course we also have HDR settings that are max 56 for 25 fps and max 85 Mbps for 60 fps but I assume that we cannot upload in hdr with this camera.
Maybe putting an upper limit on the bitrate when exporting to 45 Mbps will force youtube not to compress this agresive ?
@Mr.Flex1992 I’d say that is worth testing out to see if it gets you better results. It certainly could.
@@GreatDayForAHike will do . Thanks !
Hello ,
What is your kamera 📷 in this video?
In my studio I use the Sony a7S III.
My big complain about Dji action 4 it's because I am underexposed most often ; In theory the EV should compensate to capture more light on the subject at +, but it's overcast, it goes to minus and even lower.
Thanks for the tips,
But the Action 4 video quality specially at 4K is very bad,
Comparing my cellphone video quality, which is more smooth and clear.
It depends on several different factors, including lighting and what you are filming. Also, smartphones are not meant to be action cameras. In other words, the Action 4 can do things and go places a smartphone cannot. However, if you’re just vlogging, a smartphone may be all you need. Then again the Action 4 costs less than $300 and most smartphones with a decent 4K internal camera cost at least twice that, so the cost is also a consideration.
Kann man eigentlich ausversehen gelöschte Bilder / Videos auf dieser Kamera wieder herstellen? Wenn ja wie ?
Hi, may i know if your Action4 unit have hot pixel issue during long exposure photo or time lapse shot? I tested 3 units and all have some form of hot pixel at above 10 sec exposure, even at ISO100. Keen to know if other owners have this issue too. Thanks.
my cam arrive yeterday and I cant activate it because my phone is not compatible with their app. Ill try using sd card. hope it will work. Im here to see how this camera work.
Hope you’re able to activate it.
I think no need to adjust WB, coz DJI handle it very well..
Yes, this camera does handle Auto WB pretty well. I simply like setting it static so I for sure have the same WB for all scenes I film in a particular location or time of day.
Hi. What is the settings for full screen video?my action 4 is not full screen?
is it ok if I dont buy mic? Im not actually going to talk while filming.
Absolutely. The mic is mainly if you want great audio while filming. Anytime I’m filming where I don’t need the audio I don’t use the mic.
Internal mic of this cam not bad at all
Yes, it is pretty good.
