Hi Brad, thanks for your video on the Go3S. I have the Go2, and use it a lot on the pendant in a vertical position. Can you also video with the Go3S in a Vertical position on the pendant to get horizontal 16:9 video? I prefer to have the camera in a Vertical position whilst wearing the camera on the pendant to get horizontal POV shots. Thanks.
thanks for this review! My DJI Osmo Action 4 just arrived this week. I had ordered the chest strap. based on your review, I just bought the "around the neck" accessory and also the quick release accessory. How do you receive funds as a show of appreciation. I'd like to send you a couple of dollars. I'll also be looking for any videos you may have done as a use guide for the DJI Osmo Action 4.
Thanks for the video. I have the Go2. We enjoy a number of its features and it is super handy for interesting product shots and animal perspectives. I have always hated that it shuts off randomly. If I have recordings over 4-5 minutes it will be a roll of the dice whether it got the whole shot. Sometimes even shorter. I am still happy with the investment. And glad my teens have a camera to shot action and hobby type work with it. Would love to know how the Go3s handles longer clips.
Actually fantastic! The record limit is adjustable and the longest clip I have filmed so far was 17 minutes with no shut off or over heating. I have gotten to test it fully to see where it stop or over heats!
Great personal opinion review... I'm on the fence, already with a G02, and X3, and a GoPro 12 but I'm leaning toward upgrading to the GO3S. I like the black option and the various other improvements between the GO2 and the GO3S. I tend to reserve my GoPro for vlogging, but it might be time to switch it up. You've earned a subscriber.
I would say the go 3s has a lot more features but the action 2 has overall better footage. But that comes with a more complex modular setup. The go3s allows you to reframe after the fact little. It also has a wider field of view. I would say it’s better for pov. Also there were some overheating issues with the action 2, but they may have resolved those by now
@@johnorton4418 you are right I had to go back and look at my action 2, but with all the cropping for stabilization, both of them are just about the same
@@johnorton4418 it’s not a bad camera, but it is out of date and had issues that I’m not sure if are resolved, my vote is no, but if it’s what you can afford, that is still a fantastic camera
Great review, I appreciate you putting it together. In the two videos I've seen of yours, I can say you earned my sub. I look forward to going through your library and your future vids!
I have the Telesin neck mount and it is a bit too small for my neck, and I see DJI neck mount is not bigger. I know Telesin have a bigger one, but it doesn't look big enough to cover my neck with jacket up to my chin. But they are perfect for POV and give more stable footage than using a head-mount.
Hey dude, did you ever get any driving footage of this? Would really like to see a pov position as I'm considering getting this for pov videos plus a action 4
Have you encountered any flickering during sunrise with the OA4? Was using the original OA no probs but since upgrading to the OA4, I've encountered flickering a few times. I have an ND32 filter on and have tried shooting manually at 1/30 and 1/50 yet still encounter flickering.
Telesin had this long back... very feasible for straight views... luv it for the ease of use....but if u want to give a realistic pov u need head or helmet mounts as they turn left or right with your head...
Hey Brad 👋🏼 greetings from Australia, I just purchased the Osmo 4 a week ago as it’s my first action cam! I was tossing up between the Hero12 & the Osmo 4. Due to my DJI ecosystem already which includes 3 drones, Dji mics and a gimbal, the action4 was the easy decision in the end. I’m glad to say I’ve been away in a different state vlogging and recording on it and am absolutely loving it! Definitely keen to get some accessories for it. Just been watching a couple of your videos and am loving what your doing mate keep it up!! Colour grading is something that I also want to learn so I am more than happy to watch your process and learn along the way with you 😊 Keep up the awesome work and I’ll catch you in your next video 😅 Cheers
Nice video, well done! One suggestion, this camera doesn’t have Dlog, it’s dlog-m. Dlog is different color profile that you can find in more expensive cameras from DJI.
Can someone tell me why I can’t adjust the video in the app ? It is there. I tried both. Before it is uploaded and after. When I click play it’s a black page no video
I was a bit skeptical at the start of the video, there're a lot of DJI and GoPro fanboys out here on YT. But I must say it actually looks like good video with a verry honest look to it. Especially when looking at the recommendations at the end. Myself I'm actually disappointed in both DJI and GoPro (on the actioncam field). They both just bringing up updates without actually solving problems much. It just looks like a yearly run towards new income. And maybe GoPro is a bit more extreme in that than DJI... But it's on both of them. At least DJI makes slightly changes... I owned an OA3, but I had returned it because of the soft image (focus problem). Even my $50 SJcam M10+ from 2016 had a sharper image with more detail. Then I went for the Hero11. Which felt kinda decent. But old when looking to the housing. They have used it for 4 cams now (including the 12). And they all share the same overheating issues and terrible battery door. I must admit that the build quality on the OA3 felt much more durable (probably the same on the 4). But I had overheating issues with the 11 too, so I was able to sell it for a good price. And finally went for the 112 again after looking at DJI and Insta360 too. Also because I still had all the accessories. But they're just all the same... The Hero12 is literally a software updated Hero11. They only reduced processing and heat generation by lowering bittrates. So they could also "fix" the 11 by doing the same (but a firmware update will not generate them income). I believe the 9 had a different CPU, but the 10, 11, 12 are basically just the same camera's. DJI actually doing the same here, only less obvious. The Osmo Action 1 was a verry good camera. Then the Action 2 was a bit of a failure with overheating etc. and the people didn't liked the design much. Then the OA3 was actually the Action 2 but in the body of the OA1 again. But it had that focus issue. I feel they had to recall them to fix and check them and replace them with a revamp, like a OA3 v2.0. But instead of that they just compensated things with firmware updates (I believe after that overheating issues started to occur). And they just pushed it towards a new release (hoping that people soon would go for the new cam and forget about the OA3, which is still not fixed). So now here it is, the OA3 v2.0, but they only call it OA4. Although the good thing is that they've enlarged the image sensor. GoPro did nothing new, they even removed the GPS unit. So both camera's are not worthwhile upgrading no. Although they can be fine if you're completely new and need to go for one of them. But if people can wait buying, it probably could be more interesting to wait a year. Then there will probably be a new Insta360 (X4?) and hopefully both DJI and GoPro will come with a serious update or improvement. Even buying an older and cheaper cam will bring you the same and decent image quality. Like a Hero10 is like almost half of the price of the Hero12. And you won't see much difference in them when comparing. This is just a terrible year for action cams...
