DJI Osmo Action 4 settings: - 4K25/50p - Rocksteady On - FOV Standard (Dewarp) - Shutter 1/50 or 1/100 - WB 3500K-4500K - ISO 200-3200 (Each clip was shot at a different ISO value to test the low-light capabilities of the Action 4. I recommend not going higher than 800 for the best noise performance.) - Sharpness & noise reduction -2 - Color D-Log M Everything was shot HANDHELD, manually exposed with ISO and heavily color graded in Final Cut Pro.

See you again soon..
Big kudos for providing your exact settings and process. So often that isn’t mentioned and it is probably the most important thing to know if you want similar results.
No worries. The video is shaky because the stabilization doesn’t work well when shooting with slow shutter speeds. I just tried to be as stable as possible. However, I’d always recommend a proper gimbal for best low light results.
Thanks! Good video! I tried Osmo Action 4, i have Osmo Action 3, but still think Osmo Pocket 2 is better. Old good camera, till now best small portable cam.
amazing footage!! I was looking for this kind of material online and I couldn't find it! Also thank you for the spill on the settings! I just bought mine and I can't wait to make my own soon! Cheers!
Nice work Roma. I just picked up an Action 4 and I'm heading to India for a 19 day moto trek. I'm taking both my Hero 11 and my Action 4 but I think I'll end up using the Action 4 the most. Just curious if you thing a Gimbal is a worth while travel addition? What would be your choice? Thanks again.
Thanks. A gimbal is only worth it with an action camera if you heavily rely on ND filters or if you need it for specific shots. Personally, I don't use a gimbal with my action cameras.
very nice video!it will work correct if i have horizon balancing and not rocksteady?also the iso you manual set every time ?can you have semi auto iso(for examble 100-400)and have the shutter steady to 1/50 or 1/100?thanks
It does pretty well in low light for an Action Camera. However this makes me really wonder if the Action 5 will perform that much better. I think it's worth the wait. Nice video btw.
Wow wjat an absolutely FANTASTIC video showcasing the low light capabilities of this little (but mighty) bad boy Is dewarp only available in standard mode only or can you set the FOV to wide and use dewarp with that Also does it shoot proper HDR videos because my Samsung s23 Ultra shoots HDR video and everything looks insanely brighter, like the brightness and contrast are massively increased (but balanced well) if you kbow what I mean ??
Amazingly beautiful video. Nice job. Regarding sharpness & NR setting, do you think it is beneficial to set them to -2, or is it just personal preference? And did you apply any kind of noise reduction when editing? Thank you.
You're welcome! It's my personal preference because I like to have as much control over my images in post-production as possible. I didn't apply any noise reduction to the footage.
Hi .. unbelivable Colorgrading wow. As i tried to set the 1/50 Shutterspeed with my action 1 back in the Day. The Rocksteady didnt work at all and the picture was very muddy. Is this still an issue with the 4 ? Thank you :)
Thanks! It’s an issue with every action camera on the market. The muddy image you was seeing is because you shot at a slow shutter speed which decreases digital stabilization performance.
Shutter speed must be too low. Try raising it to 1/100 or 1/200 and also try to be as stable as possible. Otherwise, a gimbal is recommended when filming in low light with ANY action camera.
Best Action 4's night footage I've seen so far! This morning I just bought one! Is there any way to have a less "fish-eye" effect in camera, other than "standard" (something more "linear" or "narrow" like for GoPro)? Thanks
Классные кадры! Тоже хочу подобные видео снимать. Куплю себе эту камеру перед отпуском. Хотя, посмотрим, что из себя будет представлять GoPro 12. Но душа все равно лежит к этой камере и мне она нравится больше третьей
Got it today. Man am I disappointed. It's nowhere near as good as the Samsung Z4 fold straight out of the camera and the Z4 is not even a well known phone camera. I played around with the sharpening and noise but the image is simply muddy and the details just aren't there. I think you've used the computer power of your editor and D-log to get such good video. It's a fair bit of work. I'm planning to use this for diving where the light levels can be quite low under piers and caves. Looks like I'll have to learn to colour grade.
looks amazing, dji make amazing action cam ! I can't wait to see what gopro will make :D but I don't have big hope it will be much better than hero 11 :)
Incredible. Simply incredible. I was looking for a camera to record at night, and I think I don´t need to look for more after watching this video. One question, would this kind of stabilized image be possible if you carried the camera on your chest using a chest mount?
Roma, awesome! You are real ambassador of OA4! Please, try making something the same on your motorbike in low light. It was very very interesting experience!!!
When using the sharpness and noise reduction it eliminates the option for low light enhancement. Why did you choose those settings over the low light enhancement?
Because I want to be in full control of everything and I’d rather adjust things in post if needed. The low light enhancement mode probably just puts the NR to +2/3 and I don’t want that as it’ll probably introduce artifacts.
@@Romafedorovwow!!!! This camera is amazing in low light! I recently got the GoPro Hero 12 for my birthday, and I absolutely love it for videos in almost all instances of good light. Looks great in sunny days. But it falls apart in low light. I’m thinking of buying an additional camera for when I want to do low light shoots. I am considering the Ace pro, the action four and also the Osmo pocket three. Of those choices, and considering I already have the GoPro… Do you have a recommendation?
@@babyboy1971 The Pocket 3 is the best one when it comes to image quality, but it's the most fragile because it's a gimbal. I don't know about the Ace Pro, but I can highly recommend the Action 4!
Throw it on a gimbal, and it's great in low light. You can see the electronic stabilization struggling to keep a clean image at such a low shutter speed.
You mean the HERO12? 99% It won't have a 1" sensor. From what I saw, it's basically the HERO11 with blue speckles, 1/4" thread, HDR, HyperSmooth 6.0 and some other minor improvements..
@@Romafedorov Thanks so much for your answer - may I ask you to make a tutorial nobody makes and it is to show the quality of the Osmo Action 4 when we use Zoom lens with it I'm now subscribed to your channel so if you make the zoom test I will be informed
This is where you would think the Pocket 2 would shine, but in my experience it doesn’t. Still too much noise. Makes me wonder why they just don’t release a Pocket 3 with the Action 4 sensor.
@@Romafedorov Круто снято. У гопро при ручном шаттерспиде перестает работать стабилизация и приходилось использовать гимбл. У осмо такой же принцип, если выставить ручной шаттер стабилизация тоже сыпится?
Dji action 4 are still not good for low light environment and I can see they still have a blurry image.. and i Watch other reviewers here in RU-vid they also The same issue..
I think the Action is fantastic in low light, considering that it’s an action camera. These tiny camera aren’t designed for low light shooting, but the Action 4 holds up pretty well. And the image is not blurry. The minimum focus distance is a bit further on the Action 4, it’s 40cm.
@@Romafedorov Dji action 4 should not exist yet. Dji action 4 is not worth upgrading from dji action 3. My iPhone 14 pro Max can do better in night video..
In my opinion, the Action 3 shouldn’t have existed at all. It was a flop of a camera when it comes to image quality. The Action 4 should’ve been the 3.
My iPhone 14 pro Max can do better in night video.. dji action 4 is good to watch on the phone but if you look on an iPad you can see that the image quality is not good. I have an Action 3 and not worth upgrading from Action 4…
