At the end of the day in 20 years you’re happy with every single video you made doesn’t matter with which camera. Both are exceptionally well made. Thank you for your video.
For just over 400€ bought Action 4 Adventure pack last week. Same day tried underwater shots, was amazed how good that little thing is. Never had action camera before, super happy with this one.
Photographer, new videographer and dad here! I've recently started using the OP3 for my family camera because it was such a pain to set up my gimbal and full frame camera when I wanted to film the kids playing. The quality is right there with my bigger camera! The only 2 "complaints" I have with the OP3 is that we're stuck between 15-20mm and the 2-axis stabilization, but the majority of the bounce can be fixed in post.
great video mate! currently got 2 of each of these cameras in my kit, biggest issue i find is with pocket 3 not being water proof, living in the UK makes it difficult to film outside with the kids with pocket 3 because of that. but both of them are cracking bits of kit and highly recommend both of these !
Hey great video! What about action 5 vs pocket 3!? Im not a content creator, just a typical dad and not very creative... I want to build this memories for my kid now so i just want something with ease of use so it pushes me to finally use it. We are a Work-home-work one or two vacations a year family. The only thing that is holding my decision is that a thougher camera sounds like a smarter idea for using it around kids... Idk!!! Please help, getting both is not an option.
Hey! Yeah I get this is a hard choice. If it was me picking I'd choose the P3. I feel like the gimbal gives a huge advantage for family home video types of projects and I don't find myself needing the toughness of an action camera all that often. I equate the P3 to the old school cameras our dads had for home videos, I find it super user friendly and great quality. The only downside is I don't trust my kids with it, but my dad didn't let me play with his camera at that age either so... Hope that helps! Also I don't have the Osmo 5. Specs are a little better but overall its a very similar camera to the Osmo 4
Thanks for the video! Love the focus of family and capturing memories. Less on cinematic artistic videos. I want to focus on capturing my kid with easy of use to be with them and not so focused about being behind the camera. Haven’t found a good video on capturing family, especially kids with the pocket 3. Would love to see tips and tricks, as well as accessories.
Waiting to see if they put the 1 inch sensor in the action 5. If they do that or put it into a point and shoot body that's the way I'll go. I don't need the gimbal stabilization as much as I want the image quality. Great video.
Thanks for the video I have OP3 and I'm considering OA4 and your new insta360 go 3s. My use case is really similar than yours, so very interested which one you pick more:OA4 and Go3s. My clips are really short typically
Great video! Thank you. I am looking at these 2 options for similar use case. I have a 2 year old toddler, curious to hear what you feel about pocket 3's durability around an unpredictable toddler 😅
Haha well I don't let her play with it often and when she does get to I'm right next to her. She is getting to the point where she understands she has to be careful with it but that has taken a lot of time playing with her toy cameras and me telling her to treat them with care. I want her to be able to use it eventually but I do fear that she could damage it so I'm still very cautious with it. Other cameras like the Osmo Action 4 or Insta 360 Go3s I have no worry of her playing with them (for the most part) but definitely a little more cautions with the Pocket 3!
Just depends what you want it for. I do feel like the P3 is better for vlogging or as a traditional family video camera which is my main use for these types of cameras. My Action 4 comes out at times where I don't want to damage the P3
I agree with getting the action 4 combo. Battery on the A4 is not that great and you need at least 3 for one day. Only downside to the battery case is that it does not charge the batteries. It's simply a storage for the batteries... You however can use it to charge other devices like your phone. To me, you need both, the action 4 during the day and pocket 3 at night time.
I was hoping you’d make a comparison between an iPhone or the pocket 3. Can you share your thoughts between them? For the same use case as you, documenting life
So which one is better to have? I am starting out and want to make videos of me and partner until we have our own kids. I wanna be able to look back and remember what were like and for our kids to look back on as well.
I think it just depends on what you want to film and the activities that you are into. I prefer the P3 for the better quality and its gimbal but I don't do a lot of action sort of stuff.
Personally I don't because I don't like optical zoom. I would love it if there was a filter similar to DJI's wide filter but for more of a 50mm field of view
You did great tutorial. Thanks. Anyone please tell me, is this action 4 camera possible to use real estate/ architectural videography and photography? Both interior and exterior needed. Also, will it be possible to image the architectural elements in the houses without distortion?
Thank you! I'd probably use the Pocket 3 over the Action 4 for real estate videos mainly because of the gimbal but I'm sure the Action 4 would still do the job well. I'd recommend filming in the standard or narrow FOV in order to avoid too much warping. I'd also turn on Rock Steady to give you a smoother image
thank you so much. When watching action 4 or pocket 3 shooted 4k videos on wide screens. ( ie 55" or 65" TVs) does it look burley, law quality or noisy like videos created smart phones?
That is what on my mind (also being a daddy to a 8yo son). The pandemic has driven me to this videography world. Like you, i documented as much as i can of my son. Pocket 3 does have limitations and so fragile. I have the pocket 3, but the action 4 is so tempting as well. Im not sure if i can have both, but buying the action 4 will make ne selling off the pocket 3 (which i might totally regret).. uurrggghhhh..! It just tat whenever there's a moment i didnt get my dream shot on op3 or the gimbal fails me, or when i wanna do really crazy manouvers, i do wish i had the action instead. But, sacrifising the 1 inch? Urrrggghhh! Help!
What are your thoughts on the pocket 3 vs the GoPro? We’re expecting our first child in a few weeks and I want to make home videos worst part of my GoPro is that the battery dies so quickly
Personally I'd choose the Pocket 3. If you are wanting it for family filming, the pocket 3 is better. Great stable footage, good audio, easy to use and hold. I like gopro but the pocket 3 is the clear winner for me!
I want to buy one to take with me to Egypt. Im very thorn as P3 seems better but im afraid to drop it. I like the idea of using a tougher waterproof one, however the P3 quality is better. Ahhhhh. Cant decide.. pls help
How much action sort of stuff are you going to be doing? If its a lot then yeah the O4 would be better. But if its more tourist sort of stuff, I'd say you'd better with the P3. You could get some accessories like a lens filter and screen protector to help a little, also maybe a bag clip. My bigger concern would be sand, the way to combat would be to bring a small air blower and just being cautious. Me personally I'd go the P3. Hope that helps!
The snowboarding video looks monochrome. Contrast is so high, can’t see any details on the trees. Also the snow looks one dimensional. I guess it’s good when you compare it to other camera of its kind. I just bought mine. Planning to get a gimbal to go with it.
Am new to the camera action game. So am confused to btn action 4 or acre pro. Am into mostly capturing vlogs of my life. Could love your advise. Thanks for the video and nice editing skills 😊
I'm still new to action cam came. I haven't tried the ace pro but I've heard good things about it. I'd say the Action 4 will do great at capturing vlog content! Thanks for the compliments! I appreciate you!
Pocket 2 is still great and still very useable but the 3 just does everything better in all the right ways! I have tried any 360 cams but you’re the second person to ask so maybe I’ll need to try one out!
At the end of the day in 20 years you’re happy with every single video you made doesn’t matter with which camera. Both are exceptionally well made. Thank you for your video.
So true! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Love your videos, I have a 2yo and I really regret not getting more good videos of her first two years. Thanks for the great info!
For just over 400€ bought Action 4 Adventure pack last week. Same day tried underwater shots, was amazed how good that little thing is. Never had action camera before, super happy with this one.
great post,,whats your opinion on a family with kids tropical beach vacation, would you rather the pocket or the action?
I use my pocket 3 foot everyday stuff. I use the action 4 for traveling or anything with liquid or adventure
Pretty much the same! Both are great!
Richi rich....
ok fine richy you have everything in life

Agree! They are able to give us a wide lens, I wish they’d give us a tight one as well!

How long of a video can you record?

They didn’t

OP3 is the best family camera in the world up to this day.
I have a 4 and am debating whether to get a Pocket 3 as well😮.
Just depends what you want it for. I do feel like the P3 is better for vlogging or as a traditional family video camera which is my main use for these types of cameras. My Action 4 comes out at times where I don't want to damage the P3
@filming_fatherhood I'm finding the Action 4 is great for candidates especially with a chest mount.
I agree with getting the action 4 combo. Battery on the A4 is not that great and you need at least 3 for one day. Only downside to the battery case is that it does not charge the batteries. It's simply a storage for the batteries... You however can use it to charge other devices like your phone. To me, you need both, the action 4 during the day and pocket 3 at night time.
I know! I wish they had made that feature! Maybe the case would be more bulky if they did that but I think I'd be alright with that!
I was hoping you’d make a comparison between an iPhone or the pocket 3. Can you share your thoughts between them? For the same use case as you, documenting life
I'll put that on my video list! I'll be honest and tell you I'm not a fan of Iphone photos or video but I'll try to keep an unbiassed approach!
I have dji osmo pocket 1 and dji osmo action 4
So which one is better to have? I am starting out and want to make videos of me and partner until we have our own kids. I wanna be able to look back and remember what were like and for our kids to look back on as well.
I think it just depends on what you want to film and the activities that you are into. I prefer the P3 for the better quality and its gimbal but I don't do a lot of action sort of stuff.
If the pocket’s photos where great, it would be the perfect family cam
Agreed! I just tested the photos this week and have a video coming on that but spoiler… the photos are not ideal 😂
For purposes of family videos, do you see the lack of optical zoom on these units as a downside? Do you like these better than traditional camcorders?
Personally I don't because I don't like optical zoom. I would love it if there was a filter similar to DJI's wide filter but for more of a 50mm field of view

@@filming_fatherhood thanks! How’s the battery life compared to the GoPro 10?
Great.

@filming_fatherhood thank you. I bought the p3
Thinking about the Pocket 3. Would love to see what accessories you have for it
That video is coming!!
The snowboarding video looks monochrome. Contrast is so high, can’t see any details on the trees. Also the snow looks one dimensional.
I guess it’s good when you compare it to other camera of its kind.
I just bought mine. Planning to get a gimbal to go with it.
I saw a tail in this video ❤
Am new to the camera action game. So am confused to btn action 4 or acre pro. Am into mostly capturing vlogs of my life. Could love your advise. Thanks for the video and nice editing skills 😊
I'm still new to action cam came. I haven't tried the ace pro but I've heard good things about it. I'd say the Action 4 will do great at capturing vlog content! Thanks for the compliments! I appreciate you!
In action 4 while filming, can u see your face in the front screen??
Yes! You can change the settings so it stays on for longer or it will "sleep" after a certain amount of time
I have the DJI Pocket 2 and I love it, but of course I have my eye on the 3! Curious... have you considered or tired the new Insta360 X4?
Pocket 2 is still great and still very useable but the 3 just does everything better in all the right ways! I have tried any 360 cams but you’re the second person to ask so maybe I’ll need to try one out!
I think i will buy both hahahaha 🤣
Haha yes!
Nếu chỉ mua 1 trong 2 thì nên ưu tiên sản phẩm nào????
It depends on what you want to be filming. I prefer the pocket 3 because I’m mainly using it as a vlog/family camera
🏆🫡
annoying backgrouund music.
No 360 cameras?
Honestly I've never tried a 360 camera! I'm not opposed to using them I just have no experience, maybe thats another video in the future!
