I own a GoPro 8 and 10. After having had the opportunity to play around with a DJI Action 2 for 6 months, and now with DJI’s coming out with the new Action 3, I don’t think I will ever buy a GoPro again. The DJI is so easy to use, so flawless with an intuitive and smooth interface, a superb App and connection. It makes it hard to go back to GoPro glitchy firmware, long start-up process, frustrating App and overall overtly complicated interface.
Gopro Hero 11 still have overheating and crashing problems of previous models. Sure, they have 5 or 6k, but how many of us film in that resolution with huge files?
Really, DJI connection to phone app is quick and easy you say? My Hero 8, I hold my breath every time I'm trying to connect to Quik app, it's a crapshoot, if only it could connect as well as my $20 Yi 1080p home camera.
DJI action cameras are better than GoPro. Better stabilisation. Better colours. Better low light. Better audio. You can even see/hear this directly in this very video. DC Rainmaker claiming DJI cameras are worse than GoPro is laughable.
Today's reactions,: GoPdo Hweo 11: keep up the great work... DJI Osmo Action 2: holy shit! Welcome to the action camera game!! This thing is wild! I assumed I wouldn't be interested based on the last two iterations... They NAILED it... And price is crazy good!!
Nice review - I have always had confidence in my decision to buy and still use my original Osmo Action. Glad too that they really have moved on from the horror of the 2
A nice little review. I actually preferred the the original Osmo Action to the GoPro at the time. Sure, I didn't bother with the Action 2, but this new camera will be a great addition to the kit bag. The picture quality of the Hero 11 does look crisper in strong daylight, but in low light situations the Osmo Action 3 actually has the win. I also think the Osmo has a more true to life colour profile too.
Love your conclusion. I think that speaks volumes to a potential buyer ---- " DJI has actually built an action camera that I'd recommend buying " - That is a big leap!
Even if the Osmo Action has picture quality that isn't as good as GoPro... If it works without glitching and freezing and losing footage like the GoPro Hero 10 - it's the better camera.
in another Chinese review of this camera, they submerge Osmo Action3 in liquid nitrogen, the screen froze but the camera was still recording until they pulled the battery and reset. Everything worked once back up in temp, amazing stuff
I used DJI Osmo Action since last year. I totally satisfy with its stabilization. I don't need any stabilization stick during an adventure recording. Thank you.
Sold! I've got the Action, Action 2, Osmo Pocket, Mini 1& 3, ... Definitely looking to toss the Action 2 in a dumpster. Thanks for this amazing video. I'm sold.
I kept an open mind when I bought my DJI action three. I ran a comparison in every way shape and form. It didn't take long to figure out, I bought a paperweight. I returned it and bought the GoPro Hero 11..... No regrets.
Been using the Osmo Action 1 for years and Just received my Osmo Action 3 td. Im glad I waited and didn't buy the action 2. The new features on the 3 are just what I need. The quick charge feature is so necessary! I'm super happy with my purchase.
Love the content you put out mate. Cheers! The action 3's low light performance, its front touch screen, magnetised oem system, cheaper price for me makes me better than the go pro 11
I was looking all over the Interwebs trying to find specific, real-world battery life numbers for the various camera settings. Thank you very much for providing this. - subbed
DJI seems to have done an amazing job! I wish I had waited a bit more than going for the Hero 10 Black, I love my GoPro but it looks like DJI are actually far more innovative & reliable. Looking forward to their future offerings!
I dunno if innovative is the right word, maybe "customer focused", they seem to be looking to give people what they want, not just bumping specs. For certain people and I am one, that attitude is gonna win every day of the week.
I have two original Osmo Actions and they are the most used cameras in my kit. I don't care if the GoPro is better I just know the Osmo is good enough and I enjoy using it. Glad they came back with an upgraded original version because I never for one second considered buyimg the Osmo 2.
I still have my DJI OSMO Action 1 in my bag, OSMO Action 3 as always... Simple, strong, stable, reliable. Maybe Gopro's video quality is slightly better, but talking about overheating and some interesting glitches, Gopro is definitely the bitch.
GoPro’s videos are definitely better, with a more accurate dynamic range. But this action 3 with that price is really worth it, and the audio quality is far superior, in comparison GoPro’s mics suck really bad
if it overheats and shut off, or freeze - who cares about "better footage quality"?? fortunatly Hero 7 never overheated, Insta 360R never overheated but after Hero 9 and 10 overheated I`ll take no chance - I`ll go for Osmo 3
@@quazar912 To be fair, the Insta360 OneR absolutely overheated, they just simply don't say it overheats - it just quietly and randomly shuts down. But it wasn't hard to get it to overheat.
@@Dcrainmaker I have Insta 360R over a year and it never overheated at me...even entire day on a bike on summers day - you can see on my YT channel, I wouldn`t repeat some tracks if it shuts down just to recored them again.
I'm very interested in the practical features. Especially the magnet mount. I don't enjoy having to use a tool with my GoPro to take it off my k-edge mount every ride. Also thanks for the like notifications. They do help me hitting the like button.
The magnet mount is good, but I'd like it to be a bit thinner somehow (whole setup). My challenge is by time you add the magnet mount to the bottom of an Action 2, and then mount that to something else, you've pretty significantly increased the stack height over other action cams with built-in mounting.
I bought a GoPro 4 Black years ago and it did great for me but last year I bought a DJI Pocket 2 and fell in love with the DJI ease of use, stability and quality. It may not be picture quality up to a Hero 11 but GoPros usually have bugs or goofy, unpolished things. Watch Worth It Or Not? for his deep dives there. I pre-ordered the Action 3 and will buy the Pocket 3 when it comes out too.
I had Hero 7 and never had problems, infact it did feeze 1 or 2 times but in a 3 years that`s no big deal...worked excellent for me (you can see my videos on my YT channel), now I have Insta 360R dual lens combo and now I`ll go for Osmo 3 adventure kit
Bought one of these for my new channel. Thanks to your review and some others I decided on the Action 3 over the GoPro 11. I've only had it a few weeks and so far I'm not disappointed. The Insta360 Go2 was also in the running due to its very small size.
Thanks for the insight to the new action cam, DJI action 3 seems more appealing, its cheaper in price point, more reliable than Go Pro and will have many better firmware updates in future that will make it a much better action camera. When DJI mavic 3 was released it didn't come with many features, now after many firmware updates with extra features it's a monster drone.
Thank you very much for your impressive review. This is the first time I am referring to this product in a formal way. I liked that she competes in GoPro. There is no doubt that Gopro is old and high quality. But this time she will have a difficult task than competing against a new student in the class.
Go pro light flicker is 50 or 60hz, dji pocket 2 is 50 or 100Hz what about this one? This is super important when recording indoors and my main problem with my go pro as it gets major flicker. Is the low light on this as good as the pocket 2? Thanks
I love that I'm not the only tech reviewer that gets excited about charging! Another great review - I don't know how you do but I can only speculate that you have more hours in the day in Holland 😊! Keep on setting the benchmark for tech reviews 👍.
Excellent video. I watched your Hero 11 Black review just prior to this one. As someone making a decision on a first action cam, I am eagerly awaiting your comparison video of the two! There is no clear answer for me yet and I hope to purchase one very soon.
For what it's worth, both of those horizon features were also available on the Action 2 (which as an owner of that device I agree was a dumpster fire, but the overheating was the least of my concerns with it).
Nice video. One thing I really dislike about the Action 2 is the stability of the modules, if I want to film a long bike ride with it mounted on my handlebars, it disconnects with the slightest bump. Might stick it out for a bit longer but I definitely like the look of the Action 3.
@@cyber8019 yes I saw. But it would have been cool if the osmo action 3 ad it’s own transmitter inside the camera directly that would have been awesome 🤙
Yeah the this camera does what I need and way cheaper than the GP11, had so many glitches with GoPro over the years that I guess it's time to try something new.
Thank you for putting this review and comparison together. If possible, would you share out links to the original camera footage like you did for the Hero10 previously.
Great video; made me finally click the Sub button! I thought that while the video quality in bright light wasn't as good as the Hero 11, the low light quality was MUCH better. The Hero 11 footage looked very dark in comparison. One question: Does DJI have a good companion app for your smartphone, like the GoPro Quik app?
Indeed, the low-light performance did better than I expected. DJI does have a companion app, but honestly, it's pretty limited in comparison to GoPro Quik.
Bright light differences, particularly in default modes, are largely reflecting choices in signal processing. Go Pros generally saturate and (un)sharpen more, most prefer that, particularly for videos aimed to 'pop' on social media. Not sure it's exactly 'better' from an objective/accurate perspective but most do prefer it. It would be interesting to see whether this apparent quality difference stands up once both are outputting 10bit data. I find it a little odd that dji simply doesn't add a "over saturate/sharpen my videos" mode, it was easy enough to make action 1 videos 'pop' far more in post if that was the desire and post processing with both brands will have far more headroom with 10bit outputs. Most users however just want something that looks good to them out of the box. Night time differences are driven more by sensor size and the action 3 with a 1/1.7" sensor simply has a physical advantage against the gopro's 1/1.9" (and 1/2.3" in hero 10) . Much like insta's 1" has even more so. They're all basically using the same underlying sony sensor series (i assume! the older 1/2.3" ones certainly were)
I am so hyped to see your comparison between the new DJI and GoPro action cam. Until then I will not buy any of those cameras altough my Hero 4 needs an urgend update 😅 Just one question in advance: Did you noticed any rattling noise from the DJI Osmo Action 3 while mountainbiking?
dji mini drone also does the same thing with the battery charger accessory turning into a powerbank. some version of this was also present with the original mavic pro accessories. this is like an updated version of that power bank feature.
I have a Gopro 10 with so many issues that I gave in a bought an Action 3. First impressions are that it is better than the Gopro. I recorded video for 45 mins with no over heating, no shutting down and the stabilizing on the Action 3 seemed better than the GP10. I want a camera that I can trust, with the GP10 I have none, with the Action 3 I know I can turn it on, press record and it will do that. With each firmware it gets better.
hm not sure how well the WirelssMic system will last just secured by a USB C plug, seems like it will cause issues if you, for example, use it on a corrugated road or during action sports and have vibrations. A built-in receiver would have been killed feature or at least having a hot or cold shoe mount on the case and then a short cable to the wireless receiver
You make some great points in this video. There are many reasons to get the new Action 3. I love the part a the end when you ask is this a better camera than the Hero 11, LOL. Nice video, and thanks for sharing.
Dropped GoPro for the original Action for moto vlogging and it was great even if the FOV is relatively narrow, Action 3 on order, it’s the original on steroids👍
Anyone used this for cooking video since mirrorless cameras are way more expensive than this. Just curious if it's any good for that application? Thanks.
I'd be interested to know how the new version of rocksteady compares to the previous version regarding the laters horizontal jump/stutter when panning. That's the only thing I never liked about the original osmo action.
You forgot to mention a pretty big feature. The Action 3 will allow you to view what your recording on the phone app. While the GoPro 11 still will not. And my GoPro 10 still overheats at 1080p, mounted on my hat and walking, at 4k/60 it'll overheat in 19 minutes walking, light breeze out. No mention from GoPro regarding these issues (and I watched your GoPro 11 video). Great video covering all the features.
out of the box I seem to have this confusing operation 1 - the record button on the top only start the recording quick pressing it again does not stop the recording. I have to press the quick switch button at the side to stop the recording. 2 - quick pressing the quick switch button only start/stop video recording. it wont do the mode switching am I missing something?
Hi Rainmaker, does it do selective-manual mode? (where you can set some things to manual, such as ISO100, while keeping other things such as shutter speed auto) GoPro can do that, but then I bought Insta360 which turned out to be useless because they don't have that function
Is it possible to pause while recording video on this camera , to be able to change position during a session without generating multiple files ?? Most newer smartphones have a pause feature.
Great review. DJI 3 trashes Gopro 11. What a big difference in sound no-wind-noise quality and colors look so much better than on GP. Glad I switched from GP years ago and although I skiped DJI Action 2 as it's useless for me this one seems a big step. Can't wait to get it. Greetings from Paraguay.
One of the better videos I've seen thus far since the Action 3 and Hero 11 launch. Can't wait to see more direct comparison between both camera.
Agree, this is one of the best comparison videos so far!

Tovarishch, thank you for the very useful review!
You should make a first time guide for this like you are planning to do for the GoPro 11.
Yup! Hoping too!
Anyone used this for cooking video since mirrorless cameras are way more expensive than this. Just curious if it's any good for that application? Thanks.
As long the place well lit it will perform good.
But action cam not design for stand still, as it generate heat need to be dissipate
"This case fits in any of the fun spots"
Can't wait to test it out! Haha
But for real now, killer video.
The fact that it does not overheat for my kids indoor sports is worth it!!!
Thanks for the video. definitely grab one.
Thanks again Ray! I’m gonna stick with GoPro, but it’s interesting to see what the competition is up to.
Thanks Karl!!!
While your Go Pro freezes I'll still be shooting, ha ha
I'd be interested to know how the new version of rocksteady compares to the previous version regarding the laters horizontal jump/stutter when panning. That's the only thing I never liked about the original osmo action.
You forgot to mention a pretty big feature. The Action 3 will allow you to view what your recording on the phone app. While the GoPro 11 still will not. And my GoPro 10 still overheats at 1080p, mounted on my hat and walking, at 4k/60 it'll overheat in 19 minutes walking, light breeze out. No mention from GoPro regarding these issues (and I watched your GoPro 11 video). Great video covering all the features.
out of the box I seem to have this confusing operation
1 - the record button on the top only start the recording quick pressing it again does not stop the recording. I have to press the quick switch button at the side to stop the recording.
2 - quick pressing the quick switch button only start/stop video recording. it wont do the mode switching
am I missing something?
Hi . When in vertical position, can you video in landscape mode ..as camera will be mounted on side of helmet . Thanks
Great video, wondering how the case impacts the cooling. BTW do you ever post affiliate links with any of your review?
Hi Rainmaker, does it do selective-manual mode? (where you can set some things to manual, such as ISO100, while keeping other things such as shutter speed auto) GoPro can do that, but then I bought Insta360 which turned out to be useless because they don't have that function
You missed the auto white balance sensor. It's important too especially under water
The flat adhesive mount that it comes with. Is that for dash or helmet
Realistically more dash, helmet is better with curved mount.
Will the accessory from Action 2 also work with Action 3? Meaning mount is the same? Great video btw.
Thanks, all good information. Cheers! 😀
Can you plug a mic in without a bulky adaptor like the GoPro?
Thank you for another awesome video review. Time to upgrade from my Osmo Action 1 to this. 🏆🍺
GoPro execs when seeing the Osmo Action 3
Coming to a future GoPro, firmware or accessory soon....
Quite a lot for them to think about
Is it possible to pause while recording video on this camera , to be able to change position during a session without generating multiple files ?? Most newer smartphones have a pause feature.
I use my GoPro to livestream to twitch, via the quik app. Can this do the same?
Yes... w/ the dji only, i think.
Great review. DJI 3 trashes Gopro 11. What a big difference in sound no-wind-noise quality and colors look so much better than on GP. Glad I switched from GP years ago and although I skiped DJI Action 2 as it's useless for me this one seems a big step.
Can't wait to get it. Greetings from Paraguay.
One question 3 battery combo kit how fast to charge all three batteries
Where (roughly) were you cycling? Stunning scenery!
Is the livestream FOV fixed like it is on the GoPro?
