What a game changer that camera is. Love the slo-mo bits! Makes it a lot easier to see what you’re seeing when you line up a shot.

SUPERIOR WORK Aaron!!! Great shots (camera & speargun) This is a definite upgrade. That shoal of Mangroves was fantastic.

I’m so excited to see your videos done by your new camera! The details are amazing!

Really appreciate the honest and down to earth review minus all the tech speak. I've been considering alternatives to GoPro and this just rose to the top of the list.

I love DJI, been waiting for this to drop and you just solidified my decision to buy it! Great review, great action camera.

Wow!!! This cam is a game changer for diving vids. Thanks for making the review!

This camera will be incredible for your fish identification video!! The colors of the fish were spot on, and seeing a more accurate image of what the coral/fish look like through this camera is game changing! Great review, can’t wait to see more videos filmed with this camera!

Wow, Aaron 😮 the colors under the sea are unreal! Looking forward to seeing what’s next🙌🏻📷✨

The colours are astounding! And the shots are crisp. The slowmo 4k120 shot in the hole is super impressive - I think my GoPro 10 would be very grainy/muddy or too dark with the same settings. I was also surprised with how the torch light weren't blowing out the shot. Great review. I.m.o. if the next gen GoPro does not come out with an even bigger sensor they are toast.

Holy wow bubba. This camera is the future not only for you to continue to impressive us but for any outdoors man for any task. This video was so crisp they should use some of your shots if not the whole video for there commercials. Jeez dude. I’m blown away and excited for you.

Absolutely amazing features. Thanks for sharing.

My mannnn. I've been waiting for someone to use this underwater finally got to see it. Thank you. I've been researching this action cam and now that research is complete because of your vid. I'll be gettin this over 11 black

I personally believe all your videos are amazing, it’s always cool to see new things too…..

Wow! Those views with that camera is amazing!!

Im really glad that a smart photo top tech bless your hard work. The images are amazing and Im sure James and Lisa are a part of of your growth. as photographer. Please, keep this on. Its really cool. :)))

Super sick! Excited to see more!

This is awsome I will be definitely getting one soon and thank you for this video.

The colors are a game changer! Also, we need more Tipsy action😍

The camera is actually insane, you should do more of those slo-mo shots they help me see what your actually shooting at and when your shooting it.

Aaron, that was very informative video and that camera really has some great footage Thank you .

Good work dude. Nice to see your quality efforts paying off 🤙

you definitely have some of the best spearfishing channels in the world👌🏻

Wow Aaron!!!Finally some couloors😀That's a huge improovmant from the other camera. We can now see what you see and that's what I've been missing from your earlier videos. I may have to byu this camera to a diving friend of mine 😀

DJI has some quality products. Love their drones. I've been using GoPro 9's and 11's. I've had issues with overheating. I might have to give DJI a try. Those slo-mo shots are incredible! Great review Aaron.

I used to make YT videos as a Motovlogger and always used the GoPro Hero 2, I still have it but haven't turned it on in years. Well we went out to Sands Key which is south of Clearwater beach the other day and we were out in knee deep water and there were schools of what I believe were snook swimming around us, then a Manatee swam right behind me and lastly a dolphin swimming in and amongst all the people in the water(I believe it was feeding time). I told me wife that I wanted to get a good GoPro so I started doing some research on the GP Hero 11. Then I started seeing videos comparing that camera to this DJI Osmo Action 4, I had no idea they had a camera that competes with the GoPro. I own a DJI Mini Drone so I am already a fan of DJI just for their drones. Anyway, long story short I ordered the Action 4 today along with the floating grip as most of what we will use it for is in the water. I'm excited to get it and start using it again, maybe it will spark some motivation to get back into the YT thing. Thanks for your honest review on this camera sir.

Wow - that’s a serious game-changer! The color is awesome, as is the motion stabilizer!!

I’m sold. Just the amount of sharpness increase ,let alone the increase of reds ,pulled me in.

That decided that, DJI ftw! We’ll be picking one up for our FL spring trips and dives! Brevard Co checking in

Glad you made this video, this is the test that I'm looking for hope there is more video shot using the DJI 4, perhaps comparing with DJI 3 and or Go Pro will be incredible

Excellent review. Cheers

Watch your videos all the time! That camera did a great job and the colors were very vivid, bright and everything was clear. The action rock steady feature was awesome! That horizon lock was very cool too! Mounting system was great design not having to mess with hardware!

Your videos are looking Awesome here lately!

Fantastic content. I really enjoy all of your content. Keep up the great work.

I have a DJI drone and love it, customer service can be lacking at times, great equipment though. Best wishes with the new setup and look forward to your upcoming content with the camera!

I agree, I am impressed with this camera and the fact that it's on auto? Amazing.

What! That Is Awesome, Great Camera, Great Pictures Good Fortune With the New Camera!

Beautiful colors really sharp and clear footage…

Those slow mos are soooo sick!! If you ever came up w/ an intro vid before each video, something like that would be soooo cool! The colors look awesome!

Great info.. New to channel...First time i have watched someone review a camera for what i use them for... cheers!

I was to busy looking at the mangroves. Holy mackerel! That’s what I think heaven will look like. Fun vid!

Great video as always Aaron! You are an inspiration to me and many out there I believe. I’m a subscriber from an island called Bahrain. I spearfish a lot here and compare my experiences catching mangrove snappers and groupers. When are you going to review your repower of your new 225 engines? Please make one as we have been waiting for a video of your derigging and rigging experience, what fuel consumption, cruise and max speeds, time to plane from hole shot you are getting now. I always can’t wait for your next video, keep on keepin on brother and I hope to visit and get a charter out with you some time soon.

Aaron, great review! I’ve been shooting underwater footage since the dare I say the 70’s . Started with a Ikelite housing and a Kodak super 8 camera. Also bought the first film go pro camera, Relics compared to this new DJI. Looking forward to more true color content from this camera. Also liked seeing the four legged Capt on the boat. Capt Doug

I was sold at 5:15 into video! Great job!

Still going strong man. Note to self, get back into watching your content. Onwards and upwards 😍

Your videos are always super colorful, thanks for sharing

I am loving that gheenoe dude you are living the dream out there

Wow! So pristine and crisp those shots! For 400 bucks that's not bad

That is amazing looks really good

Your videos are all awesome bro!!!

You should do another review in 6 moths to a year and evaluate longevity. I would love to see a side by side split screen comparison between the Osmo and the Gopro. Should be easy to mount them both on one bracket. GoPro has been really good to me with their customer service. Somehow I now own 4 of them. Mostly that's because they end up leaking after a year or two and I just buy a new one when I run into issues. Seems like the Osmo addresses both my pet peeves about the Gopro: limited depth and short battery life. The white long lasting batteries from Gopro apparently are a lot better but I haven't tried one yet.

Great camera for sure, thanks ..

Pretty impressive camera you got there! And I agree with you (including myself) the vast majority of people would just use the auto setting. I’d say you definitely upped your game!

Such an awesome vid. I’ve been on the edge of what new camera to get because my GoPro is constantly giving me issues. Thank you so much for sharing your opinion. Also it would be awesome if you could do a video on your opinion of all the bleaching happening to all the corals. I know this year is El Niño which is supposed to one of the hottest years and it’s just insane how hot it is. I didn’t even wear a wet suit this year while I was in the keys and I only noticed one set of coral head bleaching which was south side by the marquesas.

I do like that feature when your diving that the color stands out true without buying filters for diving. I’ll be waiting to see how it does when u adjust the settings. I might just forget about the go pro that I have and switch

That camera is a game changer 💪🏻💪🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

Wow, now that’s impressive 🤙

I think its great that your last video about cameras was comparing the Gopro 11 and the DJI 3 and you didn't seem to think, to me anyway to feel that either camera hit the mark for you. My take away was the color was better on the 11 but you hated the red fade at the surface and how you had to work a little harder to get what you wanted out of the Gopro, the DJI 3 was easier to use but not giving you the colors you wanted. It Seems DJI came through with the 4 and hit the mark. I don't know if you notice but that 5:34 when you broke the water, the Osmo did the red fade but WAY faster. It seems like they are doing what Gopro did just better. I will say that I really appreciate the use of slow mo with a proper frame rate, It looks really good and I hope you use more of it. Also, that frame rate in the darker water when you shot the grouper was very impressive. Looks like DJI knocked it out of the park with this one.

Wow! Loved your feedback! (Found you from Reddit)

I've been diving and skiing with my GoPro Hero 3 for years, thinking it was "good enough" Boy, does that ever convince me it's time to upgrade. I was fixing video in post-production, but with that, you practically never have to. I noticed how it added red as you submerged, then reduced it as you got to the surface much faster than your previous camera. Everything would look pink for a few seconds until the camera adjusted back. This one was very quick. Very impressed. 👍

Colors are super good compared to what you have been filming with. Clarity seems better as well. Beautiful job!

That camera looks awesome, been planning on picking up a second camera. Seems like this one may be the one I go with.

Nice to see differnt underwater footage. Most footage have come across is shot, mainly, on GP

Those drive by’s with tipsy had me laughing pretty good 😂

Great video. The thing that would get me to buy this camera is if it actually held the color deeper than the gopro which seems like it does. I usually hang around 40-60 feet deep, so if I don't got to go in and color correct every clip so it doesn't look just blue, then that would indeed be a game changer for me.

That was an awesome review

Im actually really excited about this camera. As someone who isnt invested in Gopro I have to choose between the two and lately all Im hearing in videos I watch is how frustrated people are with their Gopro's. The price seems pretty decent too.

Good review. Camera looks good.

Great video Aaron! Wow. Love Tipsys demeanour she obviously loves the water. In 1 week, you’ve put it thru the ringer. The improvements to me are obvious but I think time will tell. Will it last? My crystal ball just exploded. God bless!!!

Subscribe due to this video. Thanks for making this video. I like to use my video camera for water activities. I was lucky that I bought the camera before see this video, but now I know Action 4 capabilities makes it even better.

yeah that camera is sick

Awesome footage!

A lot of people use that phrase game changer. I watch a lot of spearfishing vids and to me that slow mo of the hole shot truly was game changing. I don’t think I have seen a hole shot with that clarity and smoothness of the slowmo. I have a gopro 7 and I absolutely hate it. It did this battery drain thing about 10% of the time my battery would just die after being fully charged and I missed some whale shark footage one day from a shore dive! It just killed me. If i ever upgrade def be remembering this vid. I trust you more than any big camera reviewer.

Definitely see a difference

good info video Dibs

Hey Aaron, another helpful video. Thanks. I'm considering a Gheenoe for lobstering, crabbing and light spearfishing. Could you make a video on how you enter and exit yours safely? I'm sure there must be some tricks and useful tips you can offer.

will you make diving comparison with hero 11 ? amazing review :) and I love your diving movies because not many people test cam in real diving situations

Cool camera. God bless.

Great video

Cool camera!

Incredible work my guy! Nice job with the new video gear. Even greater videos for the future. Now how about some more spearing!!! For sake of the fans thrills!! Can't wait!!👍👍👍

I was looking for some subtle pros and cons with side by side go pro comparison, but that turns out to be completely unnecessary. The difference is remarkable. I've stared at editing software for hours color grading and not come come to this. Amazing.

GAME CHANGER

Tax free 😉😂 We’re still tuned in no matter what

Nice work. Great info!

So glad you made this video! I hate my GoPro Hero 8 Black because it has so many issues, but I looked at every other option on the market, and nothing seemed worth it. I was just about to upgrade to a Hero 11 this week, but thanks to this video, you made my choice a lot easier, and saved me some headaches and a bunch of money!

Curious as to what you are using to attach it to your mask. I looked at the different combos and don’t see what you would use to attach the camera. Just moved to Key West and am really impressed with the quality of your videos and the depth of your knowledge. Keep ‘em coming.

Great review; can you give us an idea of what kind of depths your underwater footage was at?

Looks impressive. Thanks for the review and link. I don't recall you mentioning depth limit. 18 meters or 59 feet is great for snorkeling, but not diving. (watched again and you surely did!). I'm sure they're working on an u/w case to compete with others though.

Hope they hook you up cause you deserve it. Thats a decent camera. What I like is more competition and no monopoly which has been the case.

Yea Boy

I love DJI cameras! Love your videos bud and of course it’s “ Mickey Mouse “ channel! Great video as always brother god bless!

I have only just now read this about the osmo action 4 when scuba diving."When diving below 16 meters with the Osmo Action 4 and the Scuba Diving mode activates due to pressure, the usual shutter/record button is disabled. In this case, you'll use the Quick Switch (QS) button to start and stop recording. The QS button is designed to work under high-pressure conditions, allowing you to control recording without relying on the shutter/record button. So, even deep underwater, the QS button becomes your main control for starting and stopping video recording".So this button becomes a universal button to power on, select video or photo, then take a picture or start shooting a video. I checked the DJI manual and it doesnt clearly say how this is achieved. I checked with dji support and they said you need to decide wether you will be taking photos or videos past 16 meters before the pressure cutoff kicks in.Then you can only use the camera as a start and stop. You cant play back videos on a dive or scroll to other presets to bracket different fstops and iso settings etc.

Mr young. You are one of the most humble, calming, and honest content creators I’ve ever watched. May Jesus bless you and if you don’t know Him I pray for you and Maddy. Peace be with you ❤

I immediately saw the difference.. Even with the filters I've used in the same type of water I never saw that degree of a depth of color like that.. Nice.. Can you give an idea the mask you use with the mount.. Have a heck of time finding a decent one.

Aaron, you’re killing me bro. Bought a brand new Gopro in June and my only gripe is the frkn battery doesn’t last at all. Just tried to return it and the window closed. This is what I need with the battery life and depth Decisions decisions

Video looks great! What are your opinions on the audio for that camera? Looking forward to trying something new.

Really good video! I think from memory you were running or trying the osmo action 3, keen to know with the DJI cameras if you've had any freezing issues like the good old gopros get, cause I've lost so many good dive and fish shot on footage because of that with the ol gopro

I got the Action 3 late last year. I love the magnetic clip, which makes switching the camera around easier. Only wish they gave us more than one clip. Thanks for the review.

how is it for taking stills or grabbing stills from videos? Great review btw.
