After using GoPros for over 10 years I think DJI just came out with the first action camera that I can authentically say does LITERALLY everything better than the current GoPro! Let's get it mounted up and see how well it handles all the unique challenges of recording while riding a motorcycle (in this case our 2023 Yamaha MT10 sp)

A note on the charging case. It intelligently charges the highest level battery first, that way you have very quick access to long term shoot. Neat thinking from DJI there ✌️
I have the Osmo action 3 love the camera I am very pleased and the settings are very easy!
OC: I'm getting this over the GoPro
OC: Gotta give the Action 4 a try. That nighttime footage looks so much better than my Hero 10.
OC
I got my DJI Osmo action 3 about 6 months ago and havent touched my gopro cameras ever since. Actually I've been giving them away to my friends who started riding to get him started. It does everything GP does but better IMO and the battery life... DJI almost 2 hours and GoPro 45 to 50 minutes. Looking forward to getting action 4 soon.
Does it require a subscription like GoPro?
@godzeus9702 nope. No subscription.
@@hyunkang5628 thank you 🙏🏽 so definitely 💯 beats GoPro
Waaay better than any go pro
This is the second long ad (entire youtube video) I've seen on this camera. I'm sure there is more to come. With how amazing they make the camera sound in these ads I'll wait until I hear someone do an actual review after a year or so.
Great review Chase.
Looking forward to some user recommendations on this new cam.
Keep up the good work.
Been using an action 3 this entire summer and I can honestly say yes it’s WAY better than any GoPro I’ve ever used. I’ve need a 2nd camera but I’m considering getting the insta360 x3.
OC
X3 is 10+months old. Expect an X4 soon. Don't buy an X3 and suffer from buyer's remorse.
360 content is super annoying to edit.
OC Thanks, great video. Was looking into my 1st go pro and glad I ran across your video!
Man, I would love this camera. I am so tired of losing video, and the go pro freezing between quick shots in some weird power down loop that can only be fixed by pulling the battery.
Which GoPro are you using? I don't know how the Action 4 is, but my Action 3 has actually frozen 3 times since I've had it. My hero 11 hasn't.
The sweet spot with the hero cams are 128-256 GB cards rated A2 U3 Class 10. I like the Samsung High endurance cards as they seem to work well or the red/brown Scandisk Extreme cards.
The next secret is to offload/delete footage off the memory card once your memory card is around 80% used. Also format it within the camera itself everytime you empty it out.
Ever since I've done these things, my hero cams hasn't frozen up on me at all.
As far as nighttime footage goes, record in 4:3 ratio with the lowest fps and use the least amount of stabilization as you need and see how it play out.
Or.....
Cough up $430 after tax for just the Action 4. (Btw, if you decide to go Action 4, I'll highly recommend getting the adventure combo. It is very much worth it (don't let me be the 4th person you've heard that from and still not get it)
@@Jonasegway I offload my video after every ride. Many times the GoPro has frozen or locked up with a single video on the card or nothing at all. Shut down loops, being locked up after shutting down so I can't power it on unless I pulled the battery, or just randomly shutting off in the middle of recording. I work in IT so I'm not a technological idiot, but that also drives me to understand that while the software and the hardware is getting upgraded, the CPU is not. The CPU is overheating for a lot of these issues . For the record I have a hero 10 black
@@theorthobiker gesh. I just don't get it. I think my hero 8 was freezing alot. I started using the new features GoPro released who knows how long ago where they give you (High performance/extended battery/ low battery consumption) for the type of recording I want to do. I guess GoPro has been milking that CPU and just upgrading the processor. Ever since I started changing the mode, I haven't had any freezes at all so I don't know. I also don't record 4k footage either so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I am a 2.7k or 1080p kinda guy. I would recommend trying the hero 11 but if you don't care about telemetry data in your footage, I'd easily tell you maybe the A4 is a better choice.
Better than a GoPro… 👂
The thing with onboard is that it almost match with the riders's view. Thanks and cheers from Uruguay !
Thanks for the review. Camera looks awesome and I’m so done with my GoPro. When using for the helmet camera is the set up and mic connections similar or do you need and adapter etc. Thanks!!
How good is this. Can’t wait to get this for my channel as well
OC I am seriously considering picking this up solely for the battery life. I am so sick of carrying like 5-7 batteries with me when I go out on a days worth of riding and changing the battery out every hour or less on higher quality settings
I use only 2 batteries and a 10k mAh powerbank to recharge while driving.
How we gonna recharge on a motorcycle?
@@HeldIntegral smart cable management
OC , I still have the GOPRO 8 and I just get too much wind noise. Since last year, I have been thinking about getting the DJI but, now I really think it's confirmation. So ,I will get now for sure. Thank you for making this video. Shout out from Santa Clara, CA (Bay Area)
Oc amazing review!!! I was wondering about this camera
hey Chase thanks for the review. Is there any way to plug an external mic to capture the sound from the helmet? if yes, then can the gain be adjusted? I am struggling to get a nice sound at high speed/wind with my Hero10.
Exactly whatb i was looking for. Thanks. What chin mount were you using?
9:22 that dude squidding on a moto2 Street triple is crazy lol
OC: Yes Chase. Please do a deep dive on how to use the Action 4. I'm also done with GoPro shenanigans. Also for aspiring motovloggers, what's the mic situation like with this camera?
@@godzeus9702 Got it. Will check it out. Thanks
Footage finally looks decent, no more oversharpening like on all action cams before this. It really shows at 10:10, gopro completely oversharpened to compensate for the tiny sensor & poor lens performance.
Elephant in the room is the external lav mic situation. Have they fixed it?
Good video. No doubt this will be my new go to for motocross
Would be interested in how it pairs with in helmet audio. The setup, which mics to use etc. I know there lav mics are awesome so hopeful that there is a good helmet setup.
Nobody talks about the audio distortion inside the helmet compared to the previous models. I am guessing that they just don’t know about all this. I use DJI camera since model 1. Audio has always been a problem for DJI. There is a work around that of course. In my videos, audio is pretty good (most of the time 😂). I really want to see if they fixed this issue.
Wire adapter with regulated volume is the workaround ?
the audio looks amazing to me. saw some audio clips from potato jet
@@EzioTroito86 Yes, it is.
@@MotoPavilion in theory Action 4 has -20 db instead of -12db for mic regulation so it should works better , imho but I don’t know till I have it
What about the audio as far as any adapters you may need, what type of external mic will it accept, are there settings for wind reduction? Does the external mic pickup the sound of the bike well?
Great channel by the way.
Great , What is the camera which you shot the first rollers of the bike?
OC
My boy who is photographer i told him i was gonna buy the hero 11 and he said they are trash and then u showed this video because i wanna start filming my journey from newb to track day runner on my zx6r. Thanks for the video brutha🫡
OC! Yeah brother would love to see a full in depth on how you use this considering you don’t use a Media Mod and also maybe what mic are used ❤
Can you tell what size of step up ring fits OA4? Thanks!
OC - Great video! I have a question - Will the Action 4 work in a workshop under LED lighting without causing banding?
I live in the UK and want to start recording my own project builds for my own reference and have tried to record using a cheap Akaso Brave 3 camera but get banding. FPS only goes as low as 30, I'm not sure if that's why. Any help would be greatly appreciated 👍
Dang didn’t know you were at Get on Adv Fest. Would loved to have got to visit with ya. Thanks for your take on the 🎥
Do you have the option of editing your footage in the DJI app right from your phone to upload videos?
Hello, thank you for the video. It's a great video. I use a Honda forza scooter and it is not as spacious in front as a naked motorcycle. That's why I don't find it logical to mount the camera on the chin of my helmet because I won't be able to photograph the road well. I use Shoei GT Air 2 helmet. Do you have any suggestions for mounting the camera securely on the top of the helmet? Thanks in advance.
OC. Can't wait to try one
Does the case have a spot for security wire aka mounting to aircraft? In case the mount comes off or camera comes off the security wire is going to catch it. Footage and stabilisation looks great
I'm pretty sure the 4x3 recording mode is a full sensor read out whereas 16x9 just crops the top. So field of view (width) will be the same on both with the 4x3 having more height.
It's also more stretched(fish eye effect) with the 16×9 using ultra wide than the 4×3
OC: looks great. I'm usually shooting in 2.7/120 on the Insta. How does the footage compare directly with that?
I see OA4, i subscribed haha
I agree. No comparison between the 2 in reliability.
the lowlight footage of oa4 is so decent!
Would be awesome if you can do a deep dive on your camera motovlog setting!!
That battery info alone is wildin….. 🔥🔥
Does the magnetic mount reliable on hi speeds (60-85 mph)?
Thank you for the video!
What was your gain settings when recording? having trouble getting my purple panda mic to stop clipping
Hit us with that deep dive Chase!
The battery pack can also be used as a powerbank too! And if you have a micrphone adapter on the camera you can attach the battery pack to the USB C port so you have almost unlimited battery time.
What about external mic audio manage? Is it crisp or over gained ?
Nice work. OC! BTW, your website doesn't seem to be up and running from the link in your last frame.
OC!!! The main issue i had with my gopros where the clop always breaking off. Gopro always acted like it was my fault even though its cheap plastic. So I'm excited to get a action cam that has essentially fixed that issue.
You said the clop breaking? What clop
how's the built-in microphone? can that be used for TH-cam videos?
After struggling reliability and software glitches, over heating and poor battery life with each iteration of GoPro over the years I've just switched to DJI Action 4 and their new wireless Mic 2. Very happy 👍
Also are you using moto mounts for the helmet attachment?
No complains with my GoPro hero 7 black... been using it for hiking and MTB. 4k 60fps
what jacket you are using for the motorcycle? Would love to get it.
Does it record sound? If so, what is the sound quality? Helmet mics? OC🙂
gopro hero 11 or dji osmo action pro for moto vlogging ? which one will you suggest ?
How’s the external mic situation with adapters
Hello from Portugal!
The video is more than 5 stars!!!!
You never record the sound diret from the action cam? You have a extra sound recorder all the time?
Thanks. OC
What’s ur shutter speed and iso for when using nd filter?
One thing you touched on but need to go into more detail is Jitter problems when say on your bike following some one else and riding through mixture of shade and sun from trees this causes severe jitter on the other person and ghosting i believe from watching other videos this is because stabilisation cannot keep up it is a really bad fault that no one wants to talk about and dji need to come up with a fix hope you will look into this because you say you only want the very best footage straight out of the camera it is whats stopping me from buying the action 4 at the moment thank you cheers
Is it good camera to mount on your helmet ?
Your stabilization test looks great but I hear of people saying it’s a problem…. something in the settings? I’m in the market for a new adventure camera for off-road trips. Cheers
How is the microphone sound. And how it handles the wind noise
With Instago 360 2 or 3 you can choose between horizontal or vertical video without post processing
OC this camera looks great be interested to see how its holding up over time, mainly to see if the battery life holds
So far it’s amazing
Personally in terms of motovlogging, the 4 (black or silver) was the last and best since it gave option of using the Sena backpack. After the 5 and beyond, it became a joke on having to spend $50 on the mic adapter plus whatever for a decent microphone. I can’t say I no longer motovlog but not really much in a hurry to do it again. (I have the 7). Anyway lil rant over and hopefully the dij works out for users for sure 👍
Wich sd cards to you use with the dji action 4?? ❤❤
OC
Would be great if you could eventually do a kind of guide of how to get started motovlogging with this for us newbies...!🙌
That would be a long video. lol. You learn a lot doing something for over a decade. If the people would wanna see something like that I’m sure I could work something into the schedule.
I got you covered. I kinda have videos on this but I can get one published this week and loaded either this Friday or saturday
When you said "I have the gopro 10 it is my trusty sidekick" I had to giggle a little at the trusty part LOL
Is there an app to download the footage too?
OC. ya might get this over the Insta360 ace pro just bc of the field of view. Would like to get the ability to see the handle bars from end to end
i love this cam only i have mic problems, it filters background sounds :( dont know how to fix this
For moto vlog set up which mic would you recommend?
In a future video that I'm working on I'll go over all the details of that. Currently testing!
Shoooooot. That camera is pretty sweet.
9:14 is there a way to fix the terrible lens flare when going near lights? I've never seen a camera make such a weird looking flare and its making me not want this camera. Everything else about the camera is amazing and perfect for what I want, but I film a lot of flashing lights at EDM shows and have a feeling this might ruin every clip
Hi! Could i know how strong is the magnetic mount? Specifically will it still mount strong going at 250kmh on bike?
the mount itself is not magnetic. the magnets align the camera, it has two hook like thingies that hold the camera. if you watch the entire video he shows how it works
Just got bought the dji osmo action 4, Can anyone help with What setting do you recommend to get the best smooth 4k settings for street vlogging ?
How's the camera audio with mic adapter? This was the weak spot for earlier versions - no auto gain.
Great video. We have hero 8 and they glitch allll the time. Might be time to switch
Really the camera and great has always been, but the biggest problem was always even for the motovloguers microphone connection on the helmet, it was always inferior to go pro, during this video coincidence or there was no mention of it strange??? Battery time ratio it is important to note that the less resolution the more time but never all this time mentioned. I would like to see test with direct mic on the camera thank you
What chin mount do you use?
Mic in for motovlog mic ?
i have much problems with external Mic, all audio clips are clipping, i cannot use it. I test 2 mics, with gain from 0 to -15, all the same, did you have a idea.
OC: I’ve been thinking about getting a camera to record my rides, and I was always considering a GoPro. I guess I have a new camera in my sights. This camera looks pretty good when compared to the Hero 10, even watching it on YT.
What’s the price with all the add-ons included
Can you review Scorpion Covert FX? It looks like a Ruroc
What helmet mount are you using ?
What about external audio? Like motovlogging? Can you use an external mic? Surprised you didn’t cover that!
on my Action 3, the only mic that I have found, that works well, is the DJI Wireless Mic. It allows you to take the audio gain down another 12 decibels and get it to a usable level, but it's expensive. There is a thread in the DJI forums with several angry motovloggers who have tried many different types of lav mics with little success. DJI support seemed to indicate the they may be working on some kind of patch cable to fix this issue, but they never said it formally, nor gave any kind of time line.
If they fixed the low light issues that the Action 3 had, then the 4 should be really good...besides the awful audio issues. I'm also not too happy that the app for my Action 3 (DJI Mimo) is only available for iPhone, but luckily my work phone is an iPhone.
Thank you for real world criticisms. I'm leary of a "review" that only says positives. This was more of an ad video imo
I've seen at least one video doing a bunch of tests and they seem to have fixed the gain issue so you can use wired mics no problem. I'll have to test it myself though. In the meantime, I'm also testing a cheap wireless mic (FULAIM X5) that works with the Action 3 and costs less than the DJI Mic.
@@Ride_XP Spite's video looked promising. I will have to find my box of lav mics to try them out again.
Chase, my man! Hey, how does a LAV mic work with this camera? I had the DJI Action 3, and plugging a wired LAV mic in, even with the gain control all the way down, would blow out the audio once I was over 30mph... It was a known issue with the DJI... The only solution was to get the DJI wireless mic setup for $330, and it was clunky because you had multiple things to charge and mount, and I got caught in the rain and it fried.
I found the wired LAV with two wind socks on it to work ok in the garage or sitting at a stop light, but the second I would get rolling and the exhaust and wind noise would rise, the audio would crackle and distort and be unusable...
I’m seeing a ton of questions about this so I’ll handle that in the deep dive since I’ll have more time to experiment 🧪
@@chaseontwowheels Thanks man, I appreciate that. Getting good audio quality from a LAV plugged directly into the camera while ripping down the road is essential to folks like me... The noise of an MT-10 with loud exhaust and wind noise is a real pain and the audio would blow out and not be usable with the Action 3... been struggling with this for a long time...
@@zzzz893 Got a link to any of your videos where I can hear how it sounds?
@@zzzz893I’m also interested in the sound, any video?
There is a work around using the action3. The rode micro ai audio interface slots between the camera and the lav mic. There are 2 inputs which means you can hook up your lav mic and also your intercom speaker output and record this at the same time. There are a few YT videos of it. I bought one and it works perfectly….
OC Oh man the action 4 has got it dialled in. That quality looks amazing and the colour difference is incredible.
I would like to see a better example of the wide and ultrawide picture with rock steady on.
I was wondering what mic set up you use Chase as I was thinking of the getting the gopro as you can plug a mic into it. Can you do that with the action 4 or need an external mic?
You cannot plug a miic into a GoPro WITHOUT adding a media mod case
OC: So, now you've had the Action 4 for a while is it still as good as you thought? Does it randomly turn off, or corrupt files, like the Go Pro products?
chase, what about the mic situation? do we still need stupid adapters and crap to record in-helmet audio? its a very important talking point when it comes to motovlogging. many of us are tired of adapters and/or dont want to record the audio seperately and sync it later in post
Gunna cover this in a longer more in-depth video now that the initial impressions are out
@@chaseontwowheelsthank you so much for this answer 😃 you have 1million user asking same thing 😂
Can you do a osmo action vs insta 360 ace pro comparison?
Can you put this on a selfie stick and attach it to your bike?
OC: What is the SD card situation, how large of a card will the camera support, and also does it break down the video files like go pro does? Please tell me there is a mic adapter?? Wireless mic?
I have Hero 3+, 5 Black, 7 Black and a couple of sessions. I'd love to ditch the go pro brand, but have so much invested. Swapping batteries every 30-40 minutes is a pain.
I have put 256GB in my action 3 without any issues. Yes, it breaks the clips up in the memory.
You can use a TRS mic with a usb-c adapter or USB-C mic with the camera, but it's highly susceptible to wind noise. The camera allows you to turn the mic input down -12dB, but you really need about -24dB if you plan on using it motovlogging. The only mic that I have found that works well with this camera, for motovlogging, is the DJI Wireless Mic. Sorry. Hopefully DJI can get off their asses and get this issue fixed. Until they do, I would just record to an external recorder and not waste any money trying to find something that works, and then just fix it in post.
@@DonkeyDongDoug - thanks for that info!!
Does it overheat?
