Great video with lots of helpful information. I need one more piece of information: what is the maximum resolution for loop mode recording? Can we record in 4K loop mode?
Great video. Nice looking camera. Thanks for letting me try it out on Sunday. I have to say, as a GoPro lover I was really impressed. The big ✅ for me is the super wide angle at 4K 120 Amazing !!
After shooting my first underwater footage with the Action 3 (that I was lucky enough to win on Danny’s channel), I’m excited to see how good the Action 4 video works underwater. That larger sensor should make a huge difference to the quality. Plus the white balance sensor on these things rock. It kicks the GoPro’s backside for accurate white balance underwater to be honest!
Cool review. FYI on the Light flicker, its not the voltage, its the frequency of the power, which is 60Hz US, 50Hz most other countries. your generators spin at 3600rpm ours at 3000rpm.
Best Osmo Action 4 review I’ve seen so far, and I’ve watched most of them. You taught me some new things and skipped the stats that everyone else run through. Great job. I’m subscribed and looking forward to more videos. Please share a link to tripod base you show in this video. I like how it just screws directly into the handle without adding addition height. Thanks in advance!
At 2:49 you say it "will flip the orientation for you", why would it want to do that when clipped to your shirt in the upright position? I just bought a Snapmount necklace do do what you did but it's more sticky. It seems to be more stable if I mount it upside-down. But the camera doesn't flip it automatically. Is there a setting for that? No problem to do in Premiere, but would be nice if it did for you. Thanks- great video!
Woah, woah, woah! We just glossed over Timecode! Does it have the ability to sync across cameras or does it just let you set it as time of day? Those are two different things. One would get you in the ballpark and the the other is frame accurate +-1. Does showing it let another action 4 scan it in or is there a wireless sync? Thanks!
Cool video. But i have to ask , whilst vlogging on the streets of big cities with a action 4 should is it possible to add an external mic that records front and rear. For example when i flip the camera away from me or towards me then the sound still is even. What's your thoughts? Or should i just use the built in mic and fix in post? Thank you so much as always
Спасибо за информацию) Для меня еще было открытием: блокировка ориентации видео) Везде где смотрел обзоры говорили, что это для блокировки интерфейса на экране, но нет. Она блокирует именно ориентацию видео)
Yes I would. At least in multiples of it.. so 25 / 50 / 100 fps . And if you are editing the footage, make sure your time line is set to 25 fps and not 30..
Does loop mode work in every resolution/fps? How is the timecode synchronized between multiple cameras? Also, #13 - you can control up to 16 OA4's with the new GPS/Bluetooth remote!
Can use usb c mics but not a mic and usb c power bank at the same time. So if you wanted to record for long sessions like on a boat or kayak and not have to swap batteries and use a deadcat you can't. You can with the gopro even though the adapter is a bit bulky..
man this looks so good but man so expensive. I got a insta360go3 as I like the small pill for a lot of shots I would be doing. but having this as a stream setup would be amazing. now to win one before Nov when I go to Japan lol
Thx for the question yes you can use it as a webcam using the usb but you will been a different mic to do so if you only have one port I would recommend buying and hub with multiple ports in it hope that has helped
Great video. One question. Can you do an overnight time-lapse with a USB-C cable plugged in to keep the camera on overnight? We shoot our hermit crabs for our channel with our phones but it would be awesome if I could use the Action 4 to do the same. Thanx and new sub here!
Seems a few weeks early to decide. This is comparing the new DJI model to the old GoPro model. It seems as many free cameras as DJI sent out they may feel the need to get some cameras sold early! Maybe they know something we don't. 😉 7:47 If we wait a few weeks we might be able to make a more informed decision. I don't have a dog in the fight but I'm also not in a hurry and this seems rushed to market. It might not change anything when the 12 comes out but I'll wait and see. All I'm saying is most companies understand timing. 🤷♂️
Took my new Action 4 out today. Um. Step back a bit, I have owned 3 gopro's, last one is the 10. I bought them, turned them on and they worked, I filmed stuff, I took micro SD card out, popped it in my MacBook pro. downloaded footage. Simple, it works. GoPro app is also simple, it turns on the go pro, it does everything you need so. Action4. Took it out and filmed, ok so far, came home, took card out popped in Macbook, "incompatible" What! Went to app, had to turn on camera first, then found it seem I have to download to my phone first. This is where I stopped. I want simple. There's nothing that m,akes me want to put up with more complicated camera. Hero 12 please! I honestly think all the DJI action 4 videos are a waste of time right now as Hero 12 is due anyday now
you can use the audio through the Webcam mode by the way. This is something that was not included in the action 2 or 3, but can confirm it is included on the action 4
i think all of them is still in Osmo Action 3 Except Portrait Mode, and for Webcam im not Sure if i can change settings but im not interested in that yet but its still useful to me.
I don't understand why DJI missed 5K in 2k23 and also there are very similar features of Action 2 which was launched in 2019. Very slow update from DJI every year. Nowadays these action camera companies are also behaving like smartphone companies, very slow updates and also every year they launch similar products with some small changes
Danny, I am just being picky for overseas travelers ,Australian standards require electricity to be supplied at 230 V. (+10% to -6%), therefore providing an allowable voltage supply range between 253 V to 216 V. I bet all those that bought the Hero 11 wish they bought a just cheaper better camera now! Love the vids as usual.
Hi, im so stupid. I didn't realize the camera had a built in microphone thinking i will always have to use my brand new wireless microphone (still in the box). Thanks for mentioning the built in microphone, i panicking!
7:20 actually you do have to have that accessory dongle thing hanging off the side of the camera. USB microphones are non standard stupidity. Why can't they just put a 1/8" plugin power stereo microphone jack on the side?
Somebody pls challenge this camera no professional lighting simulation us viewers. Just one cheap keylight or no keylight at all using only sun light. Lets stretch this
Hi there. Thank you for the video! I was wondering how to attach the DJI mic wihtout the cover getting in the way. Is the cover detachable?
After a year, still learned new stuff here. Thanks!

And you can change your shutter speed to correct this not just the frame rate.
Yeah...I knew these...
(but only because this is the second time I've watched this video)
Thx for vid!
Question... can you disable wifi on dji action 4?
To help the battery last longer...?
Thx!
Thank you great stuff! Can you do a video on the GPS features, I'm really interested in them and the new remote.

Tnx, I ordered A4 after you vid. I do own 3 of Act-2. My basic usage underwater. Does magnetic mount from Act-2 works for Act-4 ?
Great information Danny, and thanks for sharing.
I want to run multiple cameras on my motorcycle, drag bike, is there a way that when I start 1 all will start at the same time?

Thanks
Wich sdCars capacity do you have(64gb, 128gb or 256gb)?
I'd like to know how much 4k video time a 128gb card can hold.
Can’t you please do a video on best setting for audio on the dji action camera 4 with the dji mic please how to best setting or some thing cheers
Very well said, very well done, great editing job. Thanks, subbed. First time to the channel. 😀
Danny, great run down of features! This camera looks to improve over the action 3 quite well
If you plug the wireless dji mic into the camera will it recognize it for the livestream function?
Can you record video while using webcam mode? Would be a gamechanger for streaming.
Great video. Love that you get straight to it :)
Great video excellent explanation thanks
Please can you link the magnetic medallion neck lanyard you demonstrated with? Thanks!
The quick capture is game changer.
Always informative entertaining videos 👍🏻
Hello,
I bought action 4 and getting blur videos not getting proper focus what could be the issue could you please help me
Thanks for the video!
Danny B is handsome once again in this video
Greta vid .. where did you get the bottom tripod bit from ?.
Thanks for the great video Danny, please do show the livestream feature to youtube.
Can it be used while charging from my car ? I would like to use it for a long driving timelapse video, over 20 hours of recording.
Great content love your reviews u just got a new subscriber
hey thanks so much! i really appreciate it :) Trying to keep up with it all is Fun but tough but your comment made my day!!
Awesome features. I would like the option to pause the video instead of stopping creating a new file.
I have the GoPro 11, I use the Timelapse, vehicle lights & time warp a lot. Does DJI Action 4 also have these options?
Yes it does
regarding the loop record, does it takes couple second to start the next record ? thus missing that few second in between videos.
nice, tnx for the information. i’m new to action cam, this helps a lot 😅
Happy to help!
Good for University lectures ?

Will have one of this hopefully 🎉
Hi Danny, to avoid the light flickering effect in Australia, do you recommend to shoot all the videos in 4k 25 frames per second?
Yes I would. At least in multiples of it.. so 25 / 50 / 100 fps . And if you are editing the footage, make sure your time line is set to 25 fps and not 30..

How solid is the mic adapter holding up in shaky conditions
Good question. I will test it out . I’ve taken it on a skateboard and it held up, but I didn’t like try to rattle it off
use the Ulanzi OA-19 cold shoe Adapter with the cage. Or with the magnetic battery door Ulanzi OA--16 and OA-19
Good job. A lot better than the rest of these copy hacks.
Can you view the camera on a tv while recording?
no unfortunately they do not have an HDMI output or wireless transmission (that would be so cool though)
So, you can use it as a webcam by using the USB-C port, but how do you also connect a USB-C mic? My laptop only has 1 USB-C port..
Thx for the question yes you can use it as a webcam using the usb but you will been a different mic to do so if you only have one port I would recommend buying and hub with multiple ports in it hope that has helped

When I plug my action 4 into the computer I don’t get any options showing up it just starts charging
Dose the pocket 2 mic useable on action 4?

What's wrong?

Thank
DJI just made the best webcam you can buy!
no one is showing loop mode in detail.. you blocked the screen where the options on resolution showed up. I only saw 2.7K
Can i connect to phone and control by phone?
Where is the video about Live Stream with DJI 4?
Can you control the camera from the mimo app?
Yes you can
i think all of them is still in Osmo Action 3 Except Portrait Mode, and for Webcam im not Sure if i can change settings but im not interested in that yet but its still useful to me.
Can anyone tell me what is the audio metering device attached to the camera at the beginning of this video?
It’s the dji wireless mic system … awesomely you can just connect usbc mics (I tell you more on the 12th cool thing )
Wow I didn’t know it can be a webcam

I surprised they do not have a lens that you can zoom in. Not ever shoot you want wide.

7:20 actually you do have to have that accessory dongle thing hanging off the side of the camera. USB microphones are non standard stupidity. Why can't they just put a 1/8" plugin power stereo microphone jack on the side?
only reason is that it's much more difficult to waterproof?

Hey Danny
If you set the OA4 to its widest FOV and turn dewarp on, will the dewarped FOV be wider than GoPro's linear FOV ?
