Hey folks - thanks for watching! Don't forget to check out the full written review, as well the massive comparison footage pile here: th-cam.com/video/9d8JB9_cfUg/w-d-xo.html
External Audio??? Can a lavalier mic plug right in and work via the usb c or do I need to purchase the DJI equivalent of the gopro mic adapter brick that NEVER works??
@@Dcrainmaker You spoke about needing an adapter, however it not being available... does this mean we will have the same issue with the Gopro? a massive adapter that is $50 a pop and works 50% of the time? I heard you say it will be smaller but contacting DJI they literally were unable to give me any info on said "adapter"
Gromzen I talked to the DJI folks in charge of the adapter and they said it should be pretty similar to the OSMO Pocket adapter (which is tiny, but also hard and non flexible). So we’ll have to wait and see...
Thanks, guy; good info. I think competition is great, I've been putting off buying a go pro for several years, hoping they would put a screen on the front side; well lo and behold DJ I did it so I bought it and I'm loving it so far. I'm sure other vendors are going to come out with lenses, just like the DJI screw-on filters. And firmware updates will add to the equation. And one more thing that I didn't particularly care about go pro was the fisheye look, I'm glad that now it's an option with the Osmo action. Again my friend thanks again for the pros and cons of both units, I'm glad I had patients!
Thanks for the comprehensive video, Ray. I've watched many other reviews from people who didn't go as deep on the feature list. You answered my questions and I'm probably going to hold out for a bit and let them update a few things before pulling the trigger.
Best review so far (with REAL pros and cons). Thank you :D !! I watched 4-5 videos so far to get a good idea of it, and you are the first to not be obvious hype-train-up-selling-osmo-youtuber :D
Thanks! I use my gopro 7 black for solo hiking in Russia. And I dont plan to move to the new version of gopro because of unstable work of these cameras in the temperatures near 0 C. Now I will move to this DJI camera because of its ability to work up to -10C and 4K+60fps+dewarp+rockstady. All these features are exactly what I need! Thank you for your detailed review.
Thank you so much DC Rainmaker I'm glad you spoke about the audio adapter on this. I'm buying the camera, but I want them to come out with the audio adapter first before I do so. I watched so many youtube videos on this OSMO action, but no one mentioned that you can't use the Osmo pocket audio adapter with it. Thank you so so much for this information. Great review!!
Really great comparison of the two, glad you shared the settings when you did comparisons. They seem comparable quality-wise, where I've seen other videos where the GoPro is totally soft, and it seems like people tanked the quality to make the DJI look good, especially when those same people normally produce amazing GoPro footage.
Great honest look at the new Osmo Action. I have watched a few reviews with the 'Gopro Killer' tag but looking at the real world videos you took they are very similar in terms of stabalisation. You also mentioned some of the shortcomings too which a lot of reviewers (or are they more 'influencers') have glossed over or just not mentioned. Competition is good for everyone from a features point of view to pricing so I am happy that DJI entered the market but some less sensationalized reviews would be great.
I heard things on this review that were not so well addressed (or mentioned at all) on other TH-cam channels. In hope we'll see long-term use as well as microphone test as well soon. Great work! Thank you.
A proper comparison between the HDR and regular modes would be appreciated. Not all HDR is created equal, and if it is decent it may be worthwhile using it with a gimbal over the baked in stabilization.
Great-looking piece of kit, but a glaring minus for me is that there is no HDMI output. I use GoPro 6's as fixed cameras into a NewTek Tricaster mixer for web-streaming. Having looked at DJI's website, I can't see a hardwire video-out facility.
Great factual review! FYI, I just read DJI pushed out an update for the Osmo Pocket a couple of days ago (shares the same app) which includes Hyperlapse and downloading to your phone up to 4k 30fps, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the Action gets these updated sometime soon.
One thing all reviewers appear to miss with DJI kit is the lens glass durability. Mavics and the Osmo pocket are notoriously easy to scratch. I know the lens covers are replaceable but this is a major concern for me considering my GoPro lens hood is almost indestructible?
Yeah, just not enough time in the day to cover some of the smaller nuances I unfortunately. Would have loved to dive into lack of GPS, overlays, live streaming and plenty more...but was trying to keep video to watchable length. Cheers!
I like the more natural look of the OSMO, detail & sharpness is Great! The mic is not bad either for a small action camera. Makes me wonder what Hero will bring for the 8? The Hero has a real competitor with the OSMO now.
Hero 8 already baked in design....so too late to "respond" to OSMO. They're probably all pretty bummed over at GoPro right now, realizing they've been one-upped for the next year at least.
@@lynnewhelden if you don't think big companies like GoPro don't have inklings of what their competitors are making long before those competitors announce them, you are wrong. GoPro knows what is in this camera and has for a long time. In fact DJI announcing the Osmo Action NOW as opposed to in later summer / early fall for the holidays is perhaps due to them KNOWING the Hero 8 will best their Osmo Action and them wanting the Osmo Action to instead be compared to the Hero 7 at launch. Look, GoPro has NOT performed well for years, the Hero7 was their first good update in many years, and DJI is a formidable competitor that may well be the death knell for GoPro as a company but I wouldn't write off the future of GoPro automatically just because the Osmo Action came out with a front screen 4 months before we find out about a new Hero camera.
David Corsi ☝️ I agree. I would not be surprised if the executives of both organizations agreed with each other on each other’s release dates. May even be strategizing together on their future similar products so that each product has distinct better qualities in different ways.
@@vivealexcheng the answer is NO... not at launch. Just regular time-lapse that needs the camera to be kept on a tripod. They have provided beta software to reviewers like DCRainmaker that has hyperlapse just like Hero7 but it won't come out till sometime after launch and appears to be limited to 2.7k/30 not the 4k that GoPro allows but the results appear very similar to GoPro in the beta so the assumption is you won't have to wait long as it appears to be near ready for release.
Are you 100% sure you didn't mis-label the footage at 5:25 ? I notice that usually the GoPro footage has hyper-saturated reds and I can't help feeling that the GoPro shot is the one on the left in that instance.
@@filipinophreak ohh. I read about that 512 didn’t work. And the better one is 128 so I got the 128gb. Then it works so good. I love to. I used dji osmo action to all my videos.
Nice review covering a lot. I just want to know how it works with adapter while mounted to "something"? Can you access the hatch for usb-c port while using the frame? Mostly a question for adding ext. mic while vlogging or charging while vlogging. Both would in most cases mean I would like to have it mounted.
@@customrd Front screen = vulnerable glass. What happens after it gets cracked (hence the reason for the replaceable protective lens)? It's not touch screen, pauses video for 4 seconds when switching from back, and.... Who looks at the front of an Action Camera? When mounted, you can't see it. Oh, for vlogging? There are many cameras much better for vlogging.
DANIEL Rogness I find it extremely useful for framing. I had many occasions where I eyeballed the framing and wasn’t super pleased with it eventually. Examples :mounting on the car dashboard, a canoe, snowboard, top shelf to get an overall view of a room, b camera placement if there s a wall or you can get behind the camera to frame. (Yea you can use the app with gopro but it kills the battery life)
Any word, since you had a beta testing opportunity, when the hyperlapse will be added to update? I am close to being convinced to purchase, especially when it’s now available on Amazon with 40+ accessories (chest, flexible tripod, etc.) for $329, but really want hyperlapse for our family vlogs.
It seems great but idk if it beats the hero 7. It certainly matches some of the features but that doesn't mean it beats it, and both have some advantages going for them, and GoPro already has set their name and if I get another action cam, I'll still use my hero 5 as a secondary and having them both in the same app would be nice, and having the same ecosystem overall.
I think it all depends whether you prefer the wider fisheye rendering of the GoPro, or the less curvy look of the Osmo. The front display can help you compose more precisely, but many people just point it towards themselves and they'll be in the frame anyway. I prefer the Osmo's lens, but I may be the minority. Defishing the GoPro costs too much resolution for me. I have the Osmo Pocket, and I rarely use the phone app, I generally transfer the card to a computer for editing. Again, I'm probably the minority here.
Hi, just one piece of information. I would like to add in overlay the telemetry data transmitted by the Garmin sensors (cadence, speed, watts, gradient etc ...) to the videos of my bike rides. What camera would you recommend and, above all, what types of programs are available today? I know that it is possible to use the Virb Edit program, but I don't know how complicated it is to use it. Thank you for your answer.
I totally whacked that like button, and hands down you're the best at action cam break downs. I'm very excited about the dual screens, but I'm quite disappointed that we'll need to buy an audio adapter. :( Furthermore, I like to vlog with the Rode Wireless Go and my GoPro7, so adapting the receiver is gonna be trick because I'll need to buy new mounts. Should I just stick it out for the GoPro8 and pray that they have a 3.5mm jack and dual screens built in. It's not impossible now that DJI made dual screens and GoPro have had a 3.5mm audio jack before.
I tend to record all my cycle rides usually for about 4 or 5 hours. Can this be charged with a powerbank while recording? I am a fair weather cyclist so rain isn't a problem!
Great review! Just had a quick question, I havent been able to find any info online about... What are the interval options for the time lapse mode? Is there a maximum time lapse duration? And technically can I run the camera on external power over usb?
There are two timelapse modes (video and photo). For photo the interval options are: .5, 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 8s, 10s, 15s, 20s, 35s, 45s, 65s, 125s. For video, it's .5s, 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 8s, 9s, 10s, 13s, 15s, 20s, 30s. For max duration, there's none for photo. For video, the options are: Infinity, 5m, 10m, 20m, 30m, 1hr, 2hr, 3hr, 5hr. I actually kinda like these max duration options. Neat idea.
I know this review a month old.. I take it it didn't have voice commands when you go it ? To be able to say " start recording" and "stop recording".. that sounds extremely handy.
Wow! You appeared to be in Helsinki, quite close where I live, a quite familiar river with the bridge which marks the border btw Helsinki and Vantaa 🤟 1:46 When writing this I still struggle which one to choose Osmo or GoPro 🤨
NOTE there are no lens option to zoom subjects in only very wide view (subject looking far away) is what these cameras can do. Lets say you're flying a RC modle it will look too far away.
@@JpFishingBrasil Wide is all relative on the OSMO Action - but there's no difference in crop between 4K/2.7K/1080p resolutions, however, this is crop when you go to RockSteady enabled (the same on all). There's technically no 'wide' option on the OSMO Action like there is on the GoPro. It just is what it is (whereas you can turn on/off Dewarp to remove the warping).
Does DJI or GoPro allow you to just plug in a microSD card, record, then pull out the SD and get the video files manually? Are the video files proprietary formats? I just want a prosumer option. I don't want to mess with apps.
Yup, you can simply take the SD card out and stick it in any computer and download the files. That's how I mostly do it (partially because the app is so bad).
Love the touchscreen and RockSteady but I'm still not convinced looking at the color and audio. It's not the GoPro killer yet but given time and DJI may just be on top
Likely - given the CEO has noted they plan to do annual release cycles. However, as always - if you plan to do stuff this summer with an action camera, then I'd look at the options on the market today.
GoPro doesn’t release new Stuff with the customer in mind. They release it with the upcoming „Sale-season“ (Black Friday, Christmas) in mind. But hey,... maybe GoPro 8s Software is debugged right for Summer 2020.
@@MiikaWasHere actually no, they always get the most sales leading into the holiday season for christmas. DJI likely launched now primarily because their new Osmo Action competes well against the Hero7 Black and will get a lot of attention right now while if they too launched for the holiday season it will be facing the Hero8 Black which we have to assume will be more competitive with Osmo Action, perhaps with its own significant advantages and steal quite a bit of press from DJI. To me DJI launched now because the story of their camera is better NOW than come September when the competition makes their own leaps.

Very good video! I have watched 4 videos on this subject and this is the best. Kudos!
@Leila Rose Asselin I am happy with it. Still, I probably would go for a Hero 9 now.
I would choose this over the hero 7 right now but I would choose the Sony RXO 2 over this because of the one inch sensor!
yeah, but RX0 2 has terrible stabilization.
I saw many video´s on DJ Osmo actioncam , but your video is much better , we have a better view and ideas on the DJ Osmo

There are two timelapse modes (video and photo). For photo the interval options are: .5, 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 8s, 10s, 15s, 20s, 35s, 45s, 65s, 125s. For video, it's .5s, 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 8s, 9s, 10s, 13s, 15s, 20s, 30s. For max duration, there's none for photo. For video, the options are: Infinity, 5m, 10m, 20m, 30m, 1hr, 2hr, 3hr, 5hr. I actually kinda like these max duration options. Neat idea.
@@Dcrainmaker amazing, thanks for the reply :) I've bought one today, ha
I know this review a month old.. I take it it didn't have voice commands when you go it ? To be able to say " start recording" and "stop recording".. that sounds extremely handy.
It did, it’s just so-so in accuracy. Not really a new feature in the action cam world.
Wow! You appeared to be in Helsinki, quite close where I live, a quite familiar river with the bridge which marks the border btw Helsinki and Vantaa 🤟

When writing this I still struggle which one to choose Osmo or GoPro 🤨
So much help thanks
Did you try to download the videos using an Android device? Do they still covert to 1080p?
Does the Hyperlaps mode have Stabilization (Rocksteady)?
New sub just ordered it tgank you
NOTE there are no lens option to zoom subjects in only very wide view (subject looking far away) is what these cameras can do. Lets say you're flying a RC modle it will look too far away.
going in deep again with the little things like the lack of bluetooth
Thanks! Indeed, sometimes it's the little things that make a big difference!
DC Rainmaker didn’t mention gps though?
@@sircoynie It doesn't have it. :(
….and GPS
IMO it's well review. and btw, do you have any solution about gopro app who doesnt sync at all with samsung a50? thank you in advance
Nice Review!! Can I use this camera in 2,7k 60FPS?
Yup.
@@Dcrainmaker 2.7k 60fps wide angle?
thanks for your reply friend! Thank you so much
@@JpFishingBrasil Wide is all relative on the OSMO Action - but there's no difference in crop between 4K/2.7K/1080p resolutions, however, this is crop when you go to RockSteady enabled (the same on all). There's technically no 'wide' option on the OSMO Action like there is on the GoPro. It just is what it is (whereas you can turn on/off Dewarp to remove the warping).
Does it work with plugged in power?
Does DJI or GoPro allow you to just plug in a microSD card, record, then pull out the SD and get the video files manually? Are the video files proprietary formats? I just want a prosumer option. I don't want to mess with apps.
Yup, you can simply take the SD card out and stick it in any computer and download the files. That's how I mostly do it (partially because the app is so bad).
yes, that's the only way I do it, it's a lot faster copying the files with a good USB 3 card reader.
Thats great idea using Nd filter
Love the touchscreen and RockSteady but I'm still not convinced looking at the color and audio. It's not the GoPro killer yet but given time and DJI may just be on top
Hero 8 will be release this coming September 2019 so will wait for it instead. 4 months to go...
Likely - given the CEO has noted they plan to do annual release cycles. However, as always - if you plan to do stuff this summer with an action camera, then I'd look at the options on the market today.
@@Dcrainmaker touché
Quite strange release schedule when talking about company like GoPro. Wouldn't releasing stuff like they do make most sense just before summer.
GoPro doesn’t release new Stuff with the customer in mind. They release it with the upcoming „Sale-season“ (Black Friday, Christmas) in mind.
But hey,... maybe GoPro 8s Software is debugged right for Summer 2020.
@@MiikaWasHere actually no, they always get the most sales leading into the holiday season for christmas. DJI likely launched now primarily because their new Osmo Action competes well against the Hero7 Black and will get a lot of attention right now while if they too launched for the holiday season it will be facing the Hero8 Black which we have to assume will be more competitive with Osmo Action, perhaps with its own significant advantages and steal quite a bit of press from DJI. To me DJI launched now because the story of their camera is better NOW than come September when the competition makes their own leaps.
Which ND filters did you show in this video?
The stock DJI ones.
@@Dcrainmaker At the 10min 24sec mark, which filters are those? I googled stock ND filters for Osmo Action but came up with nothing.
@@jnhphotography Here ya go: store.dji.com/product/osmo-action-nd-filter-kit
I have a question. Would raw footage from a DJI Osmo Action camera be able to be edited on the Window's Video Editor?
Yes, it records std mp4 or mov files.
Will the rock steady work in 1080p?
Yup!
what about the quality of the photos? size? raw?
Oki, a see photos on your website...looks pretty bad...Do you have any smart proposal for road bike photography?
I’d honestly consider the HERO7 Black. It’s what I use for almost every pic you see on my Instagram or Strava pages, while on road/running/swimming.
Loved the presentation straight to the point
I was going to get the hero 8 but i saw this for 300 new and had to grab it lol.
Great work !
