It probably has something to do with the computing power or the Osmo Action. It would be great if they could optimize RS to reduce the lag. Would be great to have an option to record with RS enabled, but preview the 'un stabilized' footage for no lag. I'd use that option all the time!

I don't own a DJI Osmo Action But I've been so obsessed with it these days so I'm just watching random TH-cam videos on it. This one was the best one I've found.

Hello, you make really cool tutorials. What is the hardnest you use for your dog Lola ? I go really often with my gog in water and i'm intersting by this product. Thanx
Just ordered this camera to replace my gooro hero 5 black. Records beautiful videos but losing audio now. So I ordered this one. Does this snapshot (quick start) set to video, do you have any issues with audio? I’ll have this on a chest mount for fishing.
I do wish the osmo action when you plug a rode video micro into the cynova official mic adapter... wish there was a dB and or audio boost settings like the gopro hero 6 and 7 and 8 and 9 were you can boost the dB of the audio whether it's a powered mic or non powered mic I noticed audio is super low on something as simple as filling outside in a quite place while doing gardening with my wife even during editing I boosted audio but still wasn't very loud wish there was more options like gain and everything for the mic
Both are pretty similar, osmo action has a color front facing screen you can use to see yourself while filming and I think is slightly easier to use (pretty negligible though). The hero 8 is out now? I don't know much about the 8. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hello, Bought a few days ago an osmo action cam. After updating the firmware and take a look on the different settings i have some issues with the cam. 1. After a full charge of the battery (first use) and playing a little bit with the settings, battery level goes realy fast down. The cam seems to drain also the battery while powered off. 2. Voice control works a little bit strange. Stop recording doens't work properly. "Take photo" turns the LCD screen. I have to repeat the command the most of the time. 3. I like to use the osmo for cycling trips. How i works with my old "drift action cam"? When mounted on my helmet, i turn the cam "on". The cam goes into standby mode during the whole ride (several hours). When i push the rec button (remote control, this cam doesn't have voice control) the cam start recording, pushing the stop button, it stops recording and goes into standby mode. Does the osmo works the same way? I tried, but...once the LCD goes off, the voice command doesn't react, i have to manualy push the rec button. With the cam mounted on my helmet... it's not practical during cycling.
Hey there, this is very strange and I havent had this experience. Are there any firmware updates available? I don't use the voice controls at all, so maybe someone that does can elaborate more here - but if you're still experiencing issues, I'd reach out the DJI. Those are some very strange errors
Thank you!! I started dabbling in mechanical keyboards, and it's all been a never ending rabbit hole since. The wrist rest helps take some of the strain off of my wrists, I just like the bread wrist rest the most!
Just got an Action, very happy with it but it needs a micro sd card in to update the firmware, but if I then change cards, does it revert to old firmware again or will I have to update the firmware for each card?!
I'm not sure you need to use the same SD Card. I cycle my SD cards through my cameras and havent had a problem yet. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I love good audio too! Thanks for the feedback - I try to get my audio as clean as possible. Most people focus on just the camera. Thanks again for the kind words and watching
Hey there Hen, I made this video before that firmware update. Thankfully we can film and switch screens at the same time now! Thanks for pointing that out and watching!
THE VOICE CONTROL option is confusing it seems! you can only use it after stopping the recording. I tried saying " switch screen" " take photo" but it didn't do anything except for just recording. If I say " stop recording" it stops and then take photo and switch screen works! Am I right? Thanks
Hey there David, to be honest - it's something I havent really played around with. I typically turn the voice control off. I'm not a huge fan of it but if you're mounting it in a remote location I could see it's use. Wish I could help you more - I always found it more useful to use the app or on screen controls. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Is there any way to take photos for every x seconds? I plan to take photos by leaving the camera and going to in front of the view. Then i want the camera will take 5 photos of me with 5 seconds, so i can use the camera when i travel alone.
Great video - Thanks! I just ordered an OSMO Action Camera to use on our farming videos. If you have time - question ... One of the things I will do with this camera is via a magnetic mount, attach the camera to our tractors and implements. Lots of vibration and with respect to our square baler, a lot of hard jerks (for lack of a better word - you might look at one of our baling videos to see this... ). I was thinking I would want the rock steady to help smooth out the vibration, baler motion and just bumpy terrain. I’m not so sure after watching your camera mounted to a car dash filming the road ahead. Any recommendations for setting up this camera for our farming videos are much appreciated. Should I use rock steady? Thanks again?
Hey there JHJ Farm, this is a cool question! Checked our your videos, you need something much more aggressive than rock steady to smooth out the bumpy vibrations and jerks or the equipment. Rock steady is good for minor shakes, but for your application you're going to need a gimbal to smooth out those shakes, and maybe even then it wont be silky smooth footage. Rock steady wont hurt, it will help to a point - but if you're able to drive slower, use rock steady or a gimbal and work on steadying your camera and your filming techniques while farming/filming that will go a long way. You can also try to use Warp Stabilizer in Premiere Pro or After Effects, but again that will only help so much. The best way to get smoother footage is to smooth out the camera first and only rely on technology when all else fails. You have a very unique situation, please keep me updated on what you come up with! Thanks for asking such a great question and watching.
Aerial Guide - thanks for the reply and recommendations. We are going to be cutting and baling hay hopefully around Memorial Day weekend. FYI - the guy that recommend the OSMO to me is farmer who lost his arms at around 2 years old. He does everything with his feet. I’m talking about driving big farm tractors and doing repairs, etc. He also drives a tractor trailer hauling corn from their farm. Unbelievable inspiring man. Checkout his channel, Harmless Farmer. Thanks again for your reply!
thanks to your tutorial I have understood why I did't get to use 1/50 shotter and it doesn't work at 4k at 60p and it stop at 1/60 shooter but if you go lower than 4k 60p and you go and you set it a 4k 50p or also less 30p or 24p it works good also at 1/50 or even 1/20 second . so thanks because with artificial lights when you use 1/60 shooter it starts flickering while at 1/50 and 1/100 the flickering disappear .
Hey there, Tony. If you're shooting at 4K 60, you'll want your shutter to be around double your frame rate - so your ideal shutter would be about 1/120th. Any lower than that you'll get pretty blurry footage. Your camera typically wont let you lower the shutter as far as you can while shooting photos, while youre shooting video based on your what frame rate youre using. Thanks for watching and commenting !
Thanks for your tips & tricks. I ordered the camera on Friday, but it won't arrive till mid Jan (a bundle deal).. So I'm still doing research & such. I did order a cpl filter. I might get the ND filters later? We'll see how much I actually use the Osmo camera first vs my Lumix camera. Someone in an Amazon video said the stock filter is UV. Do you know if that's true? Thanks for your time. I like that you reply on comments! 👍
Honestly, I'm actually not sure what the stock filter is. I thought it was clear glass, but I could be wrong. I haven't done any testing myself on that. If you find out let me know! It's not going to replace your lumix, but it's a great B cam! Or great camera for strapping it to something and filming stuff you wouldn't want to subject your lumix to! Thanks for the kind words and watching!
@@keith-knittel I tried researching, could not find any info. If I do, I will pass it on. I took my Lumix out yesterday & had fun with it. Of course, a totally different camera for different purposes. I use my phone for vlogging often too. It's just easier to grab. 😉 Am anxious to play with the DJI Osmo Action camera when it arrives!
I don't know if this has been asked yet, but is there way to prevent rain from getting in the USB-C port while you're using an external battery, like for timelapse? I was thinking of doing a sunrise, or just a moon timelapse, but I don't want moisture getting in the camera.
Hey there Ken, with the door off it’s not waterproof. The door has the gasket in it that makes it waterproof so if you damage that or remove it it’s no longer water resistant
Hey there Tendencias, thanks for the kind words!! I did attach the camera to Lola in this video! There are a few clips here! Would you be interested in seeing more clips from her perspective? I have a ton of clips from the Osmo Action attached to Lola!
Aerial Guide a POV from your dog would be amazing. No voice just cool “Moby” music and your dog POV with the Osmo Action! I’m a Spanish speaker vlogger as well and I love both of the cameras from DJI. Cool videos man, keep it up!
Hey there Gerald, not sure of the compatibility but definitely check out the app store for your device. There is usually a compatibility list on there at the bottom of the page! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I DID! I always experiment with this youtube channel, and this time I turned up my light and added an ND filter. I like experimenting with these youtube videos since they are for fun and not a client. It's a stylistic choice for sure. By that emoji I'm assuming you didn't like it. Haha. Thanks for watching and commenting, good observation too. You're the first person to call that out.
A little odd that this vid looks as if it has not been colour graded at all. Also...if you are pro why would you not edit the freewell almost dropped part at 2.21 ?
This is one of the videos I did some color grading on. Straight out of the camera, the image did not look like this. Figured dropping the filters wasn't a huge deal so I left it in.
I understand where you are coming from on the filters but at the same time Freewell doesn't do a good job of labeling the filters. So picking the wrong filter because it is not labeled well would be an issue with me but I'm not mounting my camera on a dog. haha... Good video good input just my 2 cents.
My filters are labeled in white text on the sides of the filters - most filters (especially at this size) are pretty tough to read. The Mavic and Osmo Pocket filters are even smaller type! But I totally see where youre coming from. It's not ideal to be so small. Thanks for watching and chipping in your two cents! It's a valid point
Hey thanks for sharing. I just purchased the osmo action. I want to use it to film scenic walks around London. What settings would you recommend to get the best quality while avoiding distortion?
The settings really depend on your lighting conditions and what you're trying to achieve with your footage, I would definitely enable Rock Steady and try to keep your ISO as low as possible. You probably wont need a really fast shutter speed since you're walking - but the exact shutter speed / frame rate is up to you! Congrats on your new camera and have fun filming! Thanks for watching and commenting.
The trouble with the Mimo app is it only pairs with certain phones. DJI gave me a list of phones it pairs to and my Samsung wasn't one of them, so I uninstalled it and had to a firmware update manually.
For some reason, DJI seems to work better with iOS devices. I'm not sure why, but android users are reporting a lot of problems using their apps. Sorry you're having issues with your phone - that is very frustrating. I hope they will better support android devices in the future.
@@keith-knittel Yes the list I saw it appeared all ios phones were compatible, and on the Android side, mainly Chinese brands like Huawei, Honor etc and Google phones. They said they would be adding more in future.
Yeah, that is one of the main reasons I turn it off. Can lead to weird things happening but can be helpful in a few select situations. Thanks for watching!
Great videos! If you had to choose your top two or three ND filters that you primarily would use on average, what ND filter numbers would you recommend...ND 8, ND 16, ND 32, 64....? Thanks man! Again, awesome review.
Thanks for the kind words! If I could only have 2 ND filters, I'd get an ND8 and an ND 16. If you're filming in really bright conditions (I'm typically not) I'd go with an ND8 and an ND 32. I typically like to film towards the beginning or end of the day, so I mostly use my ND4, 8 and 16. ND 32 and 64 is pretty aggressive, but if you're in direct mid-day sunlight you'll need them. Thanks again for watching and the kind words, hope that helps!
@@keith-knittel Thank you so much for the fast response! Last question... have you noticed ND filters affecting your Rocksteady stabilization at all? One TH-cam review said that it affected it but I wasn't sure how accurate that was and if you noticed any of that at all when you use them. Thanks again!
@@keith-knittel Stalker 2 is a PC game that we are promised for more than ten years, but still can not release. They say it will be released in 2021. The developers once showed some screenshots and models, including a model of a loaf, while they boasted that they would make the graphics as detailed and realistic as possible...
I totally do not understand why in this day and age this camera does not come with a wireless remote control. with all the TH-cam vlogging etc it is pretty much a must-have for any action cam these days DJI Osmo has missed the boat. They need to include a remote control with all of their cameras
@@keith-knittel True, but phone apps for action cams are iffy at best. You need to rely on being in a good spot to get the camera app to work. With a remote, that is never a problem. GoPro, DJI Osmo need to learn this is the age of vlogging, and a reliable remote is a necessati these days.
Thanks for the tips, just brought the Oslo action with Christmas money I received, I was able to buy it for £229 at Curry's/PC World here in the uk. More than happy with the footage it records for the price. Happy new year...📷
@@keith-knittel some vlogging, some photography, some different perspective videography and also strap that on my pet😁.. means i will use it as much as I can... atleast it's cheaper than hero 8 but still a hard competitor 🤘
@@mrbobo6257 Honestly, any action camera will be able to do what you need it to do. I like the Osmo Action because it's easy to get the settings and the Mimo app is pretty simple to use and connect the camera to. The Rock Steady is good enough for me, but I haven't tested the stabilization on the go pro and this camera side by side. I've seen some videos of action cameras on cats and it's pretty wobbley - my german shepherd didn't seem to mind the camera on her at all. But then again, shes used to wearing a much heavier life jacket too.
We Lost you buddy right at the moment you started marketing ND filters for Osmo Action. It is the WORST recommendation ever. The ROck Steady stab relies on sharp frames to detect objects so it can actually shift and stabilize accurately. As soon as the shutter speed drops to 1/60 or 1/30 and motion blur sets in Rock steady cannot work properly - that is why you start to see glitches in stab in low light footage. What you propose is to manually create the low light situation by screwing on the ND filter. You will get many stab glitches and artifacts in your footage this way. Bottomline - don’t use ND filters with action cams that rely on electronic stab to keep things steady!
Hey there Shura, I haven’t ran into the glitching rock steady footage situation you’ve described. I use ND filters when filming in bright situations to cut down the total amount of light to properly expose the image - I typically don’t use Nd filters while filming in dark environments. While using Nd filters and rock steady (on the boat for example) I didn’t run into any glitching and the rock steady was working pretty hard there hanging over the side of the boat. Can you make a video showing the glitching? I’m interested to see the glitching results you have gotten. Thanks for bringing the glitching to my attention though! I’ll see if I can find out more about this.
@@keith-knittel just compare low light footage from osmo action with daylight one and see the difference in smoothness of movement. Look at how bright lights are sometimes jumping or jerking. Then you”ll understand what I am talking about. Then go to manual mode and shoot 1/30 shutter in sufficient light - you”ll find that you start to get glitches in stab just like in low light. Also take a look at how aggressively the auto exposure tries to keep high shutter speed at all costs raising iso to max even in medium lit environments. That is because rock steady (and all other electronic stabs) need sharp frames to properly evaluate objects movements.
I shoot using the 180 degree shutter angle - the lowest I would shoot is 1/50th, at 24fps. I’d recommend shooting in manual and not auto settings. I don’t turn my iso up over 400/800 in extreme cases. Try to keep the iso at 100/200 - if the situation is too dark, ND filters won’t matter here. If you’re using Nd filters and have to turn your iso up over 100, your ND filter is too strong and use a less aggressive filter. Can you show me the results you’ve gotten with this? If you have to turn your iso up over 800, then it’s too dark to get reliable footage with the osmo action in my opinion - it’s not a camera that’s made to shoot in low light situations and deliver cinematic results. If I’m misunderstanding you, can you make a video showing the glitches so I can see what your experiencing? Thanks for commenting.
@@keith-knittel well, your footage is gonna be less smooth than on full auto, that is one thing, and another is - degrees? 180? Shutter? All that bs is from olddays analog film cameras with rotational shutter. NONE of that is valid with modern fully electronic shutter. Also shooting 24p for youtube? I can see now why you never noticed the rock steady glitches, you have worse issues with shooting 24p, since not one in a hundred youtube viewers watches it on 24 frames refresh display. 99% of regular pc and mobile displays WILL HAVE ISSUES with displaying smooth movement with 24p footage. It will be jerky. Try shooting a smooth slow pan from left to right - it should look perfectly smooth with no jolts in movement. Only Shooting 30p or 60p will ensure that most viewers get smooth movement.
There is a lot of personal preference in filmmaking. Each of these different settings have their place depending on what you're filming and the outcome you're looking to achieve. Can you please provide a sample clip of the glitching of the Osmo Action and let me know the settings you were filming at? I'm genuinely interested in the problem you are having with your camera.

Hey there, yes that means FPS. Some resolutions only have a few frame rates while others (1080p) can go from 24-240 fps.
great video ! more DJI stuff !
Thanks Ellen! I'm working on more videos now!
Whats the deal with the bread wrist pad? Amazing video as always
Thank you!! I started dabbling in mechanical keyboards, and it's all been a never ending rabbit hole since. The wrist rest helps take some of the strain off of my wrists, I just like the bread wrist rest the most!
Aerial Guide wow didn’t realize it’s an actual product! Amazing
That’s hilarious!
Just got an Action, very happy with it but it needs a micro sd card in to update the firmware, but if I then change cards, does it revert to old firmware again or will I have to update the firmware for each card?!
I'm not sure you need to use the same SD Card. I cycle my SD cards through my cameras and havent had a problem yet. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I love a good video with great audio. So important. Why do people not focus on their audio/mics?
I love good audio too! Thanks for the feedback - I try to get my audio as clean as possible. Most people focus on just the camera. Thanks again for the kind words and watching
@@keith-knittel you bet!
Excellent video and info. Thanks
Thanks for the kind works, peter!
Also a good point is to switch video options to DCinelike, then you can colourgrade better
Actually you can record and switch screen while recording with the quick switch button.
Hey there Hen, I made this video before that firmware update. Thankfully we can film and switch screens at the same time now! Thanks for pointing that out and watching!
Can it record using the front screen while the screen is switched off? Just curious.
The screen can dim after a certain amount of time to save battery life. Thanks for watching!
@@keith-knittel Thanks for the info.
THE VOICE CONTROL option is confusing it seems! you can only use it
after stopping the recording. I tried saying " switch screen" " take
photo" but it didn't do anything except for just recording. If I say "
stop recording" it stops and then take photo and switch screen works! Am I right? Thanks
Hey there David, to be honest - it's something I havent really played around with. I typically turn the voice control off. I'm not a huge fan of it but if you're mounting it in a remote location I could see it's use. Wish I could help you more - I always found it more useful to use the app or on screen controls. Thanks for watching and commenting.
will camera save video its self if battary is dead? thank
I haven't tested it on this camera, but my Osmo Pocket will stop recording the clip when the battery dies. Thanks for watching, Gash.
Thanks for your tips bro.. I just click the red button already.
You're welcome - thank you for watching and subscribing! Means a lot, I truly do appreciate it!
Is there any way to take photos for every x seconds? I plan to take photos by leaving the camera and going to in front of the view. Then i want the camera will take 5 photos of me with 5 seconds, so i can use the camera when i travel alone.
Hey there, yes - you can timelapse on this camera
Great video - Thanks! I just ordered an OSMO Action Camera to use on our farming videos. If you have time - question ... One of the things I will do with this camera is via a magnetic mount, attach the camera to our tractors and implements. Lots of vibration and with respect to our square baler, a lot of hard jerks (for lack of a better word - you might look at one of our baling videos to see this... ). I was thinking I would want the rock steady to help smooth out the vibration, baler motion and just bumpy terrain. I’m not so sure after watching your camera mounted to a car dash filming the road ahead. Any recommendations for setting up this camera for our farming videos are much appreciated. Should I use rock steady? Thanks again?
Hey there JHJ Farm, this is a cool question! Checked our your videos, you need something much more aggressive than rock steady to smooth out the bumpy vibrations and jerks or the equipment. Rock steady is good for minor shakes, but for your application you're going to need a gimbal to smooth out those shakes, and maybe even then it wont be silky smooth footage. Rock steady wont hurt, it will help to a point - but if you're able to drive slower, use rock steady or a gimbal and work on steadying your camera and your filming techniques while farming/filming that will go a long way. You can also try to use Warp Stabilizer in Premiere Pro or After Effects, but again that will only help so much. The best way to get smoother footage is to smooth out the camera first and only rely on technology when all else fails. You have a very unique situation, please keep me updated on what you come up with! Thanks for asking such a great question and watching.
Aerial Guide - thanks for the reply and recommendations. We are going to be cutting and baling hay hopefully around Memorial Day weekend. FYI - the guy that recommend the OSMO to me is farmer who lost his arms at around 2 years old. He does everything with his feet. I’m talking about driving big farm tractors and doing repairs, etc. He also drives a tractor trailer hauling corn from their farm. Unbelievable inspiring man. Checkout his channel, Harmless Farmer. Thanks again for your reply!
what would be the best setting for underwater video?
i think its better all in all,i have got one already.
It's a great little camera - thanks for watching
Nice content. Thanks for the tips
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and commenting, means alot!
Excellent - thanks
You are welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
As I was watching your video, my Osmo Action started recording. Voice commands were turned on, and it was responding to you!
Hahaha! I'll have to keep that in mind while recording my next video - sorry about that!
thanks to your tutorial I have understood why I did't get to use 1/50 shotter and it doesn't work at 4k at 60p and it stop at 1/60 shooter but if you go lower than 4k 60p and you go and you set it a 4k 50p or also less 30p or 24p it works good also at 1/50 or even 1/20 second . so thanks because with artificial lights when you use 1/60 shooter it starts flickering while at 1/50 and 1/100 the flickering disappear .
Hey there, Tony. If you're shooting at 4K 60, you'll want your shutter to be around double your frame rate - so your ideal shutter would be about 1/120th. Any lower than that you'll get pretty blurry footage. Your camera typically wont let you lower the shutter as far as you can while shooting photos, while youre shooting video based on your what frame rate youre using. Thanks for watching and commenting !
how did you do to make 1/50 shooter - mine arrive untill 1/60 so where I'm wrong ?
Your shutter speed will vary based on your frame rate youre shooting at. Thanks for watching and commenting
Thanks for your tips & tricks. I ordered the camera on Friday, but it won't arrive till mid Jan (a bundle deal)..
So I'm still doing research & such. I did order a cpl filter.
I might get the ND filters later? We'll see how much I actually use the Osmo camera first vs my Lumix camera.
Someone in an Amazon video said the stock filter is UV. Do you know if that's true?
Thanks for your time. I like that you reply on comments! 👍
Honestly, I'm actually not sure what the stock filter is. I thought it was clear glass, but I could be wrong. I haven't done any testing myself on that. If you find out let me know! It's not going to replace your lumix, but it's a great B cam! Or great camera for strapping it to something and filming stuff you wouldn't want to subject your lumix to! Thanks for the kind words and watching!
@@keith-knittel I tried researching, could not find any info. If I do, I will pass it on.
I took my Lumix out yesterday & had fun with it. Of course, a totally different camera for different purposes.
I use my phone for vlogging often too. It's just easier to grab. 😉
Am anxious to play with the DJI Osmo Action camera when it arrives!
I don't know if this has been asked yet, but is there way to prevent rain from getting in the USB-C port while you're using an external battery, like for timelapse? I was thinking of doing a sunrise, or just a moon timelapse, but I don't want moisture getting in the camera.
Hey there Ken, with the door off it’s not waterproof. The door has the gasket in it that makes it waterproof so if you damage that or remove it it’s no longer water resistant
@@keith-knittel it's just a bummer, because to do a decent time lapse, you need to use a larger battery
You should attach the camera to your dog! Great video man as always!
Hey there Tendencias, thanks for the kind words!! I did attach the camera to Lola in this video! There are a few clips here! Would you be interested in seeing more clips from her perspective? I have a ton of clips from the Osmo Action attached to Lola!
Aerial Guide a POV from your dog would be amazing. No voice just cool “Moby” music and your dog POV with the Osmo Action! I’m a Spanish speaker vlogger as well and I love both of the cameras from DJI. Cool videos man, keep it up!
Tendencias Tech If you watched the video you would have seen he DID attach it his dog! FFS!!
You are amazing bro! I love the cinematic look in your video, what ND filter you use?
Thanks, Sam! I use the Freewell filters for my Osmo Action, and polar pro for pretty much everything else. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Aerial Guide thanks bro!👍😊
Во время записи экраны можно переключить боковой кнопкой немного удерживая её.
Appreciate the tips 👌🏻
Thanks for watching, Steve!
Osmo Action is so amazing quality
It's a great little camera! Thanks for watching, cary!
Amazing 😳

Hey man! Do u know any info if the mimo app is available in oppo phones such as reno 3 pro? Hope you’ll reply. Peace!
Hey there Gerald, not sure of the compatibility but definitely check out the app store for your device. There is usually a compatibility list on there at the bottom of the page! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Aerial Guide okay thanks man!
Is the camera waterproof when using a filter?
Yes, but make sure the SD card door and battery are securely attached
@@keith-knittel ok thank you
Did you use an ND filter for this video set? 🙄
I DID! I always experiment with this youtube channel, and this time I turned up my light and added an ND filter. I like experimenting with these youtube videos since they are for fun and not a client. It's a stylistic choice for sure. By that emoji I'm assuming you didn't like it. Haha. Thanks for watching and commenting, good observation too. You're the first person to call that out.
Awesome dog! Good video
Thanks for watching! She’s a good girl
A little odd that this vid looks as if it has not been colour graded at all. Also...if you are pro why would you not edit the freewell almost dropped part at 2.21 ?
This is one of the videos I did some color grading on. Straight out of the camera, the image did not look like this. Figured dropping the filters wasn't a huge deal so I left it in.
720p at 60fps would be nice for continuous recording.
I understand where you are coming from on the filters but at the same time Freewell doesn't do a good job of labeling the filters. So picking the wrong filter because it is not labeled well would be an issue with me but I'm not mounting my camera on a dog. haha... Good video good input just my 2 cents.
My filters are labeled in white text on the sides of the filters - most filters (especially at this size) are pretty tough to read. The Mavic and Osmo Pocket filters are even smaller type! But I totally see where youre coming from. It's not ideal to be so small. Thanks for watching and chipping in your two cents! It's a valid point
Great vid
Thank you! And thanks for watching
@@keith-knittel you're welcome and ty for making 🙂👍
You can change screens while filming now. It changed with a firmware update. Lag is gone now too
Yes! Thank you for pointing that out!
doggie cameo, best cameo
She’s the best girl! I wish I could put her in all of my videos but she’s afraid of the drone noise. :( thanks for watching and commenting!
3:35 the old dji screen lag has mutated to a physical lag now😂.
😂😂😂
Hey thanks for sharing. I just purchased the osmo action. I want to use it to film scenic walks around London. What settings would you recommend to get the best quality while avoiding distortion?
The settings really depend on your lighting conditions and what you're trying to achieve with your footage, I would definitely enable Rock Steady and try to keep your ISO as low as possible. You probably wont need a really fast shutter speed since you're walking - but the exact shutter speed / frame rate is up to you! Congrats on your new camera and have fun filming! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Awesome video... new sub
Glad you liked the video and thank you for subscribing!
The trouble with the Mimo app is it only pairs with certain phones. DJI gave me a list of phones it pairs to and my Samsung wasn't one of them, so I uninstalled it and had to a firmware update manually.
For some reason, DJI seems to work better with iOS devices. I'm not sure why, but android users are reporting a lot of problems using their apps. Sorry you're having issues with your phone - that is very frustrating. I hope they will better support android devices in the future.
@@keith-knittel Yes the list I saw it appeared all ios phones were compatible, and on the Android side, mainly Chinese brands like Huawei, Honor etc and Google phones. They said they would be adding more in future.
Is that wrist rest in the shape of a baguette?
It is!! It's a great wrist rest. Thanks for watching
When i have voice command on it randomly turns off my recording.
Yeah, that is one of the main reasons I turn it off. Can lead to weird things happening but can be helpful in a few select situations. Thanks for watching!
The bread wrist rest though
🤌🤌🤌🤌
Great videos! If you had to choose your top two or three ND filters that you primarily would use on average, what ND filter numbers would you recommend...ND 8, ND 16, ND 32, 64....? Thanks man! Again, awesome review.
Thanks for the kind words! If I could only have 2 ND filters, I'd get an ND8 and an ND 16. If you're filming in really bright conditions (I'm typically not) I'd go with an ND8 and an ND 32. I typically like to film towards the beginning or end of the day, so I mostly use my ND4, 8 and 16. ND 32 and 64 is pretty aggressive, but if you're in direct mid-day sunlight you'll need them. Thanks again for watching and the kind words, hope that helps!
@@keith-knittel Thank you so much for the fast response! Last question... have you noticed ND filters affecting your Rocksteady stabilization at all? One TH-cam review said that it affected it but I wasn't sure how accurate that was and if you noticed any of that at all when you use them. Thanks again!
Author, is the loaf on your table from Stalker 2?
Hello there, I'm not sure what this means. This baguette is for my wrist rest for my keyboard! Thanks for watching and commenting
@@keith-knittel Stalker 2 is a PC game that we are promised for more than ten years, but still can not release. They say it will be released in 2021. The developers once showed some screenshots and models, including a model of a loaf, while they boasted that they would make the graphics as detailed and realistic as possible...
12:10 Dude we can switch the screen while we are recording by pressing quick switch button🙄
This video was made before that firmware update, good that we can switch the screen now though!
I totally do not understand why in this day and age this camera does not come with a wireless remote control. with all the TH-cam vlogging etc it is pretty much a must-have for any action cam these days DJI Osmo has missed the boat. They need to include a remote control with all of their cameras
I totally understand, but I think the idea is to use the DJI Mimo app for remote controlling
@@keith-knittel True, but phone apps for action cams are iffy at best. You need to rely on being in a good spot to get the camera app to work. With a remote, that is never a problem. GoPro, DJI Osmo need to learn this is the age of vlogging, and a reliable remote is a necessati these days.
Tip #0: Use french bread as keyboard arm rest.
Carbs on my mind!
Thanks for the tips, just brought the Oslo action with Christmas money I received, I was able to buy it for £229 at Curry's/PC World here in the uk. More than happy with the footage it records for the price. Happy new year...📷
Congrats on the new osmo action! It's a great action camera! Happy new year to you too, thanks for watching and commenting!
Is it still a good buy this year?
I still use mine, and these are getting pretty cheap. I'm not sure if they are going to release a new one soon though? What will you be using it for?
@@keith-knittel some vlogging, some photography, some different perspective videography and also strap that on my pet😁.. means i will use it as much as I can... atleast it's cheaper than hero 8 but still a hard competitor 🤘
One more question will it work with cats?
@@mrbobo6257 Honestly, any action camera will be able to do what you need it to do. I like the Osmo Action because it's easy to get the settings and the Mimo app is pretty simple to use and connect the camera to. The Rock Steady is good enough for me, but I haven't tested the stabilization on the go pro and this camera side by side. I've seen some videos of action cameras on cats and it's pretty wobbley - my german shepherd didn't seem to mind the camera on her at all. But then again, shes used to wearing a much heavier life jacket too.
@@keith-knittel thanks for helping sir 😊
More Lola please !
Search “go pro on a German shepherd home alone” for Lola’s more cameo is video on my other channel! Thanks for watching!
We Lost you buddy right at the moment you started marketing ND filters for Osmo Action. It is the WORST recommendation ever. The ROck Steady stab relies on sharp frames to detect objects so it can actually shift and stabilize accurately. As soon as the shutter speed drops to 1/60 or 1/30 and motion blur sets in Rock steady cannot work properly - that is why you start to see glitches in stab in low light footage. What you propose is to manually create the low light situation by screwing on the ND filter. You will get many stab glitches and artifacts in your footage this way. Bottomline - don’t use ND filters with action cams that rely on electronic stab to keep things steady!
Hey there Shura, I haven’t ran into the glitching rock steady footage situation you’ve described. I use ND filters when filming in bright situations to cut down the total amount of light to properly expose the image - I typically don’t use Nd filters while filming in dark environments. While using Nd filters and rock steady (on the boat for example) I didn’t run into any glitching and the rock steady was working pretty hard there hanging over the side of the boat. Can you make a video showing the glitching? I’m interested to see the glitching results you have gotten. Thanks for bringing the glitching to my attention though! I’ll see if I can find out more about this.
@@keith-knittel just compare low light footage from osmo action with daylight one and see the difference in smoothness of movement. Look at how bright lights are sometimes jumping or jerking. Then you”ll understand what I am talking about. Then go to manual mode and shoot 1/30 shutter in sufficient light - you”ll find that you start to get glitches in stab just like in low light. Also take a look at how aggressively the auto exposure tries to keep high shutter speed at all costs raising iso to max even in medium lit environments. That is because rock steady (and all other electronic stabs) need sharp frames to properly evaluate objects movements.
I shoot using the 180 degree shutter angle - the lowest I would shoot is 1/50th, at 24fps. I’d recommend shooting in manual and not auto settings. I don’t turn my iso up over 400/800 in extreme cases. Try to keep the iso at 100/200 - if the situation is too dark, ND filters won’t matter here. If you’re using Nd filters and have to turn your iso up over 100, your ND filter is too strong and use a less aggressive filter. Can you show me the results you’ve gotten with this? If you have to turn your iso up over 800, then it’s too dark to get reliable footage with the osmo action in my opinion - it’s not a camera that’s made to shoot in low light situations and deliver cinematic results. If I’m misunderstanding you, can you make a video showing the glitches so I can see what your experiencing? Thanks for commenting.
@@keith-knittel well, your footage is gonna be less smooth than on full auto, that is one thing, and another is - degrees? 180? Shutter? All that bs is from olddays analog film cameras with rotational shutter. NONE of that is valid with modern fully electronic shutter. Also shooting 24p for youtube? I can see now why you never noticed the rock steady glitches, you have worse issues with shooting 24p, since not one in a hundred youtube viewers watches it on 24 frames refresh display. 99% of regular pc and mobile displays WILL HAVE ISSUES with displaying smooth movement with 24p footage. It will be jerky. Try shooting a smooth slow pan from left to right - it should look perfectly smooth with no jolts in movement. Only Shooting 30p or 60p will ensure that most viewers get smooth movement.
There is a lot of personal preference in filmmaking. Each of these different settings have their place depending on what you're filming and the outcome you're looking to achieve. Can you please provide a sample clip of the glitching of the Osmo Action and let me know the settings you were filming at? I'm genuinely interested in the problem you are having with your camera.
