I bought the Osmo Action 2 Instead of the Osmo Action 4 | Hear me out! 

What brand are s that if I may ask?

Yeah, right! When you need a small camera, this is the best thing going...especially if want slow motion frame rates.

Thanks for the tip. I'll look into it.

The remote sucks -- if you have it in your hand its range is like 5 meters.

I really appreciate that. But check out my latest update (just posted) before you make any decisions.

I'm enjoying it as well...now that I understand it.

Good info! Thanks!

These days I think the best money you can spend in cameras is on a really good cell phone. These are all special use and/or Plus 1 cameras in my mind. And iphones are waterproof since at least the Iphone 8. I wouldn't take mind in the ocean but it fine in the pool. But yeah, If you don't need 4k/120 or horizon leveling stabilization and you aren't looking for a camera to free up your phone, you are fine with your cell phone.

Yeah, You kinda have to be patient. I would not have bought it had I not run across the deals I found, but I'm glad I did now. Most of it was with the built in mic. Thank you for watching

I've seen low light footage on YT - it looks terrible - I'm going for the 4!

@@everyonehatesfrauditors765 Yes, it does not look very good. I want for the Osmo Action 3 since it was on sale. Low light not much better than the Osmo 1, but I have a ZV-1 that I can use for the night shots.

Well - I've just pressed the buy button on a couple of 4's - on sale here in the UK for £279 - I used gopros but they have just been so unreliable - my 8's now on the red light of death - fingers crossed DJI be better! Nice presentation - subd. All the best.@@MartinFransson

What do you think so far?

@@babybackmaniacleftoversReally like it so far. Great color profile right out of the box, no heating issues. Image stabilization works great. I am happy I waited but my Action 2 is staying too.

@@djsomers100Great to hear! If I get another action cam, it will be the 4. I swore off GoPro a few years ago because It failed in a critical shoot. Recorded audio and a black screen. That wouldn't have been enough by itself to make me swear it off...but then I found out it's kinda "GoPro's thing" and instead of fixing it in firmware, they just come out with new camera and say that will fix it...but then the new cameras have the exact same problems. I hear the 11 is better but I'm done with them. They sucked me in twice. lol So glad there are alternatives.

@@babybackmaniacleftovers My first action camera was a GoPro. Still have it. Had it mounted to a DJI Phantom 2 drone (which I also still have). The GoPro had its issues and DJI stuff has always been rock solid for me. Always seem a better value and a bit in front tech wise. It's all good. Amazing technology that is advancing so rapidly its crazy.

Das stimmt so nicht, die Kamera-Module werden durch die Klammern gehalten

How are you mounting for run and gun? I'm looking at one for Idpa

Are you serious? Like 100% sure that works? Because I read pretty much every thread on the DJI forum and everyone said that's a 4gb is a DJI software thing...no work arounds.

@babybackmaniacleftovers Hi Well that's very odd as when i had my dji Action 2, I reformatted the sd card to exFAT via laptop and ran tests (as I do a Tech channel) and it worked fine with me, as I was getting the same issue with only being able to record silly clips of about 4mins The reason behind why the DJI action 2 formats the card in FAT32, is so that if the device does overheat and shut completely down, you'll have at least some files to work with, otherwise there is a possibility that the full recording could be lost if corrupted (effectively DJI are playing it safe when you reformat the card with FAT32)

@babybackmaniacleftovers Here is what I found on the web (as it's got me curious now) couldn't post screen shot I'm afraid so I had to copy and paste it onto this message Does DJI support exFAT? DJI Paladin Online You can do format your SD card using your computer, patdig, and please note that the SD card that is less than or equal to 32GB should be formatted into the FAT32 file system while the SD card that is larger than 32GB should be formatted into exFAT file system. 3 Jun 2021

@@lets-talk-tech-uk right. But does that prevent the clips from breaking up? Because I think that clips breaking up are at this point as much about DJI's software as the the hardware/formatting...at least according to all the threads I read. That's why I was hoping you had done this and not had the issue on long clips.

@babybackmaniacleftovers Tbh with you, I sold my DJI Action 2 a few months ago (due to the overheating issues that I was having and Dji doing nothing about it) so I can't put that to the test, but after running through some of my old clips on the sd card that I only used for my Action 2, it seems that it was continually recording for over 6 mins @4k 60fps , when the card was formatted to exFAT, where beforehand when the sd card was formatted in FAT32 I was barely getting 4 mins before it started a new file recording, so I'm assuming that's a clear fix to me, but without having the Action 2 overheating a Fraction over 6 mins its hard to really know. Either way for me anyways, I couldn't resume recording if it was fixed or not due to the overheating issues that this little device was experiencing. Im a little bit sad really as this was one of my favourite action cameras to date and in my experience it thrashed my Gopro's, insta360 x3 and One Rs, due to its perfect size and high-quality video and sound quality and I do miss it very much

the Osmo 2 is still lighter, longer and more narrow so I still think it's more "pocketable" but you make a good point. It's probably splitting hairs at that point.

@@babybackmaniacleftovers Im just wondering as Im upgrading my GoPro 6 to something Newer. The Reason I loved the GoPro is I just stuck it in my pocket. I have a much better camera. D850 from Nikon. But to just carry around it big. I like leaving my Cell Phone at home. Let the Answering machine do its job. But I still want a Camera. Small, OSMO4 is better than GoPro now in low light. Which you can attach a zoom. Oh well. But dam OSMO2 just one block looks supersmall. But if you need both blocks. Im going with the Osmo4. I ll just left more weights in the gym to be able to compensate for weight difference. ;p lol

I don’t have the action three, but I understand what you’re saying The two is substantially smaller and lighter than the four. And the camera unit is the smallest one I know of that shoots 4K 60 and or 120 frames per second in full HD. If none of that appeals to you, then they probably isn’t a point… Except that it’s substantially cheaper if you find a used deal

Yes sir
