As someone who uses an action cam mainly for roadtrips, I picked the Action 3! Key features I considered are great stabilization, reduced wind noise on audio and longer battery life!
I've seen this before and my thoughts remain unchanged. Compared to other stabilization tech on cameras, DJI's Rocksteady is the most effective and solid performer. So it's no surprise for me that the Action3 wins in the comparison here!
I've never owned an Action Cam so I'm not coming into this with a pre-existing bias. That said, looking at the sample footage, pretty much all the imagery from the DJI seemed sort of mushy to me. I can't say that I was impressed. The Insta360 looked waaay too sharp with noticeable haloing in most of the samples. I was a little surprised to find myself preferring the Hero 11 footage most of the time in this video. That said, I thought the colours from the DJI were generally better, especially in low light. With all of that said, I've been watching video reviews and I get the sense that the GoPro has issues with reliability. Is that true? I also get the sense that the Insta360 probably has the most difficult interface due to its small screen. The other thing that concerns me is how intrusive each camera is when you're setting it up. Do some, or all, of them require registering before they will function? I want to feel like I own the camera rather than the manufacturer owning my data. Finally, there is price. The Insta360 seems like the best value. I'm wondering what others who have used these cameras think. If you were just starting out with an Action Cam, which one would you choose?
Yeah, the Hero 9 was so buggy and glitchy -- it was basically unusable. I can't believe how unreliable GoPro cameras are after 11 generations. You'd think they would have figured it out by now.
For the price and sharpness, Insta360 ONE RS is the best out there. I never trust any gopro after owning 8 and 10 before, so for stabilization I really like Osmo Action 3.
thanks for the comparison. I have used cameras from all three companies but it is good to see a direct comparison. It appears to me that go pro still produces the most solid pictures overall. I wish all these cameras solve the camera overheating problem when recording for an hour indoors.
If you are a serious vlogger, gopro heats up very easily which can screw up your recording and you might lose some important shots. Not a good choice for travel vloggers. DJI are better for youtubers
Thanks so much for the comparison. I really want someone to perform better than GoPro, because I hate their design. That said, I see a few issues that are definitely going to turn me away from the One RS. You talk about the sharpening, as if it is a little better, but what I see is that the sharpening radius is WAY to large! There is a very distinct halo around almost everything and in the stills at 2:28, the sharpening has distorted the grass into worm shapes. I see a lot of other issues with the RS and a few less with the Osmo, but, sadly, neither is producing images or video that is as good as the GoPro 11.
The action 3 you have, was that after a firmware update? Because the focus on the action 3 was so off through the fpv and was wondering if you thought the same?
All new careas are good enough. The problem is SW. GoPro cameras are hanging and mobile app is not good. DJI apps does not work on Android, Insta 360 I dont know. The SW for each camera is very important for the product
With DJI you need to register a user account and use it in the app to activate the camera, otherwise it wouldn't even work at all. They say it's to control aftermarket sales. Which, even if it was the one and only reason (and likely is not), would be already plenty crappy as a policy for my taste. Even if they had the best actioncam in the world at the best price, no thanks, I'm good
The Hero 11 just overall always looks solid and the native amount of HDR and sharpness it has just edges the others out. Price is ok with the subscription. You basically get what you pay for with all of these
Yo... The Firmware for the Dji has been updated to show the 10 bit image quality, and also they have 2 stabilization modes, one at 4k up to 45 degrees and the 2.7k going full 360 degrees
The DJI Osmo Action 3 also has the Horizon Steady which works the same way as the Go Pro does where it keeps the image leveled even if you turn the camera 360 degrees. But it will only work if you go down to 2.7k resolution or lower.
Go pro is old brand and they have 11 generation in the market, but still struggles in many conditions. I will go with DJI and Insta 360 .. DJI is cheap in front of go pro and insta 360 is advanced
Very helpful content and very detailed coverage.... Which one you will recommend for a live camera streaming.... I am looking for something low light and slow motion streaming. your recommendations will help.
User have to consider that the insta 360 has only one Display while DJI and GoPro have two Touchscreens. And the price difference between insta and DJI is on the 30 Dollars!
Useful video, thanks! I was looking into action cams and forgot about the OneRS. But when searching around, did look at the x3 for a bit though. But for sure the OneRS has got me quite intrigued as either a 1st one or the 2nd one for later. The newer GoPro's look good but the 7/8 black aren't shabby at the slightest either. But since the new DJI is out i'm torn in what to go with yet again, lol.

Gopro's biggest problem seems to be that it stops working all the time. Overheating, freezing, crashing, software problems, whatever. Sure, the image quality is pretty good, but what does that help when it cuts out just before the cool moment?
A GP Hero 11 is waiting as a birtday present in a drawer somewhere in the house… end of the month is my birthday… I just had to give a big like for this review. #gettinginthemood :))
That was a great comparison of video footage. I appreciate the great lengths of detail you provided, where it counts, no fluff. I'm a casual user, not an action user. I like the live preview while recording my previous pocket camera had. I used to have a Hero 8 Black, and that had live preview at 1080p30fps or lower. Do the Action 3 and One RS have live preview and at what settings? Thank you sir!
Hi I have a very old Gopro 4, and Iwant to upgrade for Easter. I have a budget of max 350euros. In that budget, Ifound the Gopro 9, the DJIAction 3 and the Insta360One RS. I am not interested in 360video, but Ineed a action camera for hiking, skiing, mountain bike and scuba diving. Ihave watched lot of tests, but I am lost because all cameras have their pros and cons. Any advice could be welcomed.
Hello... nice job on the camera review. I would really like to know what firmware is on each camera. My next question is... are you sponsored by any of these companies?
I love travel and I after a solid road trip action cam with slow motion clip produce and time lapse. And not after the best audio quality but need at least average.. What do you guys find best for my goals? Cheers...
I am not a GoPro fanboy, but it will be my first camera even if it gas freezing issue i can see those problems are more of software. But the quality is definitely great. I like it and has more natural colours. Insta 360 is overexposed for me. The dji is excluded because of lack technology. So GoPro 11 for me.
can anyone tell me how much time he spends in post production on his 360 degree camera compared to an action cam osmo 3 or gopro? That's the main thing for me...
GoPro is good for "action", but average usage it doesn't have anything special to offer vs insta360 1". Also Insta360 is a rather older model, so if they ever decide to upgrade their 1" module like they did with the 4K boost, they can beat GoPro for the average user that just doesn't go skydiving or motocrossing and simply loves to have an action cam style camera for tourism and vlogging outdoors. At 2:28 that photo on Insta360 looks utter garbage, the grass looks like green worms and the leaves look like a Vincent Van Gogh painting. Unless you did some wrong settings the Insta360 should have better clarity in photos due to the larger sensor.
gopro is waaaay overpriced and they demand extra 50$ for ext. mic adapter......I had hero 7, still have Insta 360 OneR and now I`ll go for OA3 adventure kit. but Insta have the best picture most of your clips, looking on samsung G7 monitor.
Yeah, the GoPro is junk. The footage looks great when you can get the damn thing to work. Most of the time it is overheating or locking up the touch screen. I switched to the RS, it is way more reliable
@@Vxla0001 the sound actually isn’t atrocious anymore they fixed that apparently, it’s rarely decent. But you do need to buy an extra piece to use an external mic
Insta360 is the best bang for buck for personal use; but if you're a professional videographer and want taking good shots of other people and of landscapes (and not of yourself), then go for GoPro DJI goes to trashbin🚮
Honestly, I'm a Professional and I prefer the RS. Being able to shoot in LOG and color grading the footage makes it look amazing. I owned two previous GoPro's -- they are so glitchy that you don't even know if it's recording properly when it's not locked up on a blank screen.
I don't care I'm going with insta360 ...... DJI I have a problem with them being connected with the government and GoPro is just a biggest pile of crap ever I don't know what they're doing but they sure aren't updating their software and hardware countless articles and videos of the GoPro 11 still freezing losing video LED screen gone blank and so on and so forth.

Yes DJI is best option for motovloger
What about the focus issue?
@@mikeceebo8611apparently it’s a hardware issue? Try to get one yourself and see but with a return policy if you want 🤷♂️ or get the A4
For me Insta360 One RS is a complete and reliable action cam for all actions. Love Insta360 One RS
I've seen this before and my thoughts remain unchanged. Compared to other stabilization tech on cameras, DJI's Rocksteady is the most effective and solid performer. So it's no surprise for me that the Action3 wins in the comparison here!
just use gyroflow for stabilization

GoPro Hero 11 is the best except that it sometimes fail to work during important moment. I rather have DJI or Insta for consistency.

We actually don't really like the extreme sharpness, just that in some circumstances, it's better than the blurry image of DJI's camera.
that's the way it is, my favorite in this test is the GoPro 11, unfortunately it has heat problems...

OA3 do looks to have best stabilization, but overall I think Insta360 is sharpest.

❓Is it possible to charge the "DJI Osmo Action 3" via USB-C while it's recording? (e.g. via a BatteryPack or an outlet)?
