    The Action Cam To Have

    I'm starting to think that this is the year for great tech. At first glance, this just seemed like any run of the mill action camera. A copy of that other pro brand. But after simply opening the box, I found myself looking into the headlights of the Porsche of action cams. The Osmo Action 4 is a for lack of a better phrase. A shear beast of a camera. And the combo pack is the way to go, when you make your purchasing decision. This thing comes jam packed with everything you need to get your adventure started, filmed and posted on the platform of your choice right out of the box. I was skeptical at the idea , as I've had a couple action cams in my time and this on didn't scream unique to me. But with an always on HDR mode, and an invisible selfie stick in the box, I started listening. Then I found 3, count em. Three rechargeable batteries in a charging case( that can also charge your phone).. Hold up. WHAT?? Yes. iIn the box. Then you've got two magnetic attachment grips, two connectionscrews and a helmet attachment,a projective case for water filming and more. The picture quality is top-notch. The sound quality is amaz-bawlz. It can be easily connected to your mobile device for mobile remote recording & quick downloads to your device for easy editing. Did I mention Three whole batteries? Oh, I did? Just checking. There are a couple things that keep this from 5 stars. One being We've got all of tis and no micro SD card? I can even forgive that, but tell me why, as an Android user, do I have to resign myself to going to the Osmo website to download the much needed app? Apple has it right there in the App store. Now, I'm sure this will get fixed soon....hopefully.. But for now that's kind of a pain to find and download the app to even get started. However, once it's installed, You are golden. At the same price point as its nearest competition, It's really a no-brainer as to what to do at this point. You've made this far. Put it in your cart.

    My last action camera, the GoPro 10 Black, was excellent...when it worked. When it didn't it was extremely frustrating. So far, with the Osmo 4, all the hang-ups of my GP don't exist, and in relation to other features, the Osmo is in a league of its own. First, the givens and the "supposed to". The Osmo works when I need it to, and does what I want it to. No freezes. No stutters. The battery life is true to the display. If it says I have a certain amount, I haven't had a wild swing stating otherwise from video to video. Connection to the app is flawless and does what it says with little to no lag, this includes Android. I feel this was released as a finished product. Now, the actuals. Battery. Battery life varies from mode to mode, but thus far, I'm impressed. Charges quickly and has given ample notice when a change may be needed. Once again worth mentioning, no wild changes in percentage from minute to minute. Video. Stellar. Vivid. Gorgeous. Photos. Rich in color and depth. Beautiful. There are so many modes and settings to toggle, I still haven't mastered them all. But for whatever type of shot I'm looking to set-up, I've been able to set-up just what I need to get it...the first time. Another win is the software. Being that I am also a veteran DJI user, I find their software very intuitive and easy to use. Transfer and viewing has been seamless. No oddities when connecting with a USB-C. This includes connecting to Windows. Plugging the camera up, it goes straight to storage with no need to handshake with any other software. Quick and easy. The live view on the phone is amazing. Clean image and virtually no lag. Again, amazed and thrilled in versatility as a content creator. Another genius feature, is the magnetic mount. Often when changing the GoPro it can be tedious to unscrew, re-screw, unscrew, re-screw attachment to attachment. With this magnet mount I literally keep it in the case, undo the magnet, and connect it to the next thing. This is such a welcome feature. And the magnets are strong enough that I have no worries of it coming off. This is great. I'm also extremely thankful that the screw base is compatible with all of my GoPro attachments. It would have been such a nuisance to have to re-buy everything just to fit a camera that fits the same dimensions. So just know, all of your GoPro gear should fit the Osmo. Touchscreens are ultra responsive with no lag, even with screen protectors. And the displys are true to view with the FOV being mind-blowing! The only thing missing is the 5K video from my Hero Black 10. But I rarely had the display to take full advantage nor did anyplace I was sharing, so not a big deal. The Osmo is truly ready for whatever you throw at it, and I'm about to throw a lot more. This one is hard to beat!

    DJI MIMO App Not in The Google App Store

    REVIEW: EASE OF USE: After the initial DJI MIMO app download and connectivity, this camera is very simple to use, with excellent default settings, for an immediate out-of-box experience. And for more advance users, extreme flexibility for numerous outdoor settings in most every lighting conditions. Bottom line: The DJI Osmo Action 4 camera is a GPH10B killer if you do not require 5k recording. BUNDLE: I believe the 3 batteries in its dedicated charging base was a very smart move. Easy to store and fairly quick to charge depending on your charger (not included). The 1.5m telescoping rod can be used beyond just taking selfies; think monopod use. Plus, the assortment of mounting attachments covers the basics. Including the camera protective outer ring for additional water proofing, and/or side mounting, is commendable. Nevertheless, I do wish this bundle included a quick-release adapter, with standard ¼” screw mounting capability, for my existing accessories. CAMERA: The dual (front and rear) touch screens are quite easy to navigate once you have watched a short tutorial if you are new to DJI’s cameras. Top of the camera has a quick press button to immediately begin recording when powered off, very sweet indeed. The doors for the battery and USB-C connection may be a tad stiff to open (being waterproof) until you get the hang of them. And let’s not forget the unique combo magnetic with dual side clips attachment system. So easy to use. VIDEOS: I am still amazed at the overall quality of the videos this Osmo Camera is able to capture in such a small sized housing. DJI really stepped up their game using the new 1/1.3 sensor. Excellent in low lighting conditions. Add in the onboard multiple image stabilization options (RockSteady, RockSteady+, HorizonSteady, etc) and there is no need for an addon gimble, at least for my intended use. PICTURES: Now using an “action video camera” for still pictures is always an afterthought. Nice to have the added reflexibility to take a quick-pic if you already have the camera in hand. But these will never compete with a mirrorless, DSLR, or even some current phone cameras that all can take superior stills. ANDROID APP ISSUE: (iOS users skip down to “RATING”.) The DJI MIMO application (app) for the OSMO Action 4 camera, that is required for activation, firmware upgrades and additional functionality, is not available through the Google Play store. After reaching out to DJI Support, one must download directly from their DJI web site and “sideload” the APK directly to your Android phone. My Google phone defaults to disabling all “side loading APK” installations as a safety feature. This is for protecting a user from installing applications from sources not cleared by the Google App Store and that have not passed Google’s security analysis. Now I was able to work around this issue by using my wife’s iPad and downloading the DJI MIMO app that is available through the Apple iOS Store. That allowed me to register the Osmo, update the firmware, and view a basic tutorial. Now I will need to search around the house for one of our older retired Android phones, devoid of personal information, and dedicate for only DJI MIMO Osmo camera use for the added functionality. Bottom line: I believe users should not be required to sideload an APK just to use a vendor’s product. But hey, that’s me. RATING: If you are an iPhone user, a solid 5-Star rating, and I would recommend. If you are an Android user, a 3-Star rating due to DJI’s choosing to bypass the Google App store for their applications, and I would not recommend. Nevertheless, I will average the ratings to a 4-Star. .

    Action camera in search of adventure.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I used to have an adventure camera from a well-respected manufacturer that suffered failure due to water intrusion. So, I flirted with owning a few cheap adventure cameras that I would not be so upset about losing if things went awry. Plus, for a fraction of the cost of the industry leading camera that was now out of action, I could buy many cheap action cameras. Well, those cheap cameras don’t really deliver the features or quality in audio or video that we’ve all come to expect, or need. So, enter the DJI Osmo Action 4 4K Action-Adventure Bundle. DJI, the popular drone manufacturer based in China, has a great deal of experience with quality 4k cameras in their drones, as well as previous models of action cameras, so let’s see how they’re doing with creating their latest generation of standalone action camera systems. Keep in mind that although owning dozens of cameras over the years, I don’t consider myself an expert in photography by any means. In considering the Osmo Action 4 series, we should weigh all the options, as in selecting the right set of accessories for this camera in the form of bundles that may save you some money or add versatility. There are five combos targeted towards different users; Adventure, Standard, Diving, Road Cycling, and Surfing. You can also add individual accessories to any of these bundles to achieve some of the other bundle’s capabilities. The package reviewed today is the Adventure Bundle. It is the priciest, but includes a really good selection of accessories that will be useful to most users. To start, this bundle comes with three batteries and a case to charge and coddle them. This is very useful for recording during those all-day adventures that would mostly be missed with the use of only one battery that would limit you to a purported maximum of about 150 minutes of use. Other items included in the bundle are two locking screws, anti-slip pads, a protective frame that can be rapidly positioned to either horizontal or vertical orientation, an action lens hood, a short type C to type C USB cable, a curved adhesive base, a quick release adapter mount, a 1.5-meter maximum adjustable extension rod, and a mini quick-release adapter mount. After charging the batteries and installing one of them in the camera, as well as adding a memory card, (By the way, this model now has a higher capacity memory card capability of 512 GB.) I was greeted with a warning that there would only be 5 uses of the camera allowed before software on a phone would need to be activated/registered to continue using the camera. The software is called DJI Mimo that is available on both Apple and Android systems. Upon review of the software agreement that is as egregious as most, advising of privacy incursions, the use of your private information, binding arbitration, and the usual lawyer lullabies, I reluctantly signed. What makes this agreement different from perhaps domestically controlled/designed products, is that there is the possibility of the government of China gaining access to the use of your data from DJI if they request it, as per China’s current laws. Depending on your employer/use, you may be subject to restrictions regarding this company’s product/software being installed on business phones, etc. There is still controversy regarding the use of DJI Drones for government use, but as far as I can see, cameras do not currently share these restrictions despite their similar collection of exact geo-positioning information. With all that said, after jumping through all the legal hula hoops, granting permissions from here to eternity, creating a DJI account, and filling out a survey of what type of user and preferences I am/have, I could finally use the camera! Why does it need to be so difficult? Getting to the goody features of this combo, we have a camera with a maximum resolution of 4k, and selectable up to 120 fps that also has up to 4x zoom capability, an ultra-wide field of view selection of 155 degrees or a de-warped standard view selectable in 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratios. There are color touch- screens on each of two sides and magnetic/mechanical latches to quickly switch between vertical or horizontal orientations with the use of either of the two quick release mounts included. The camera is capable of withstanding a depth of 18 meters submersion without an external protective case, but with numerous small print caveats. A more protective case with deeper dive capabilities is also available. An additional design attribute is that the mounting hardware is mostly compatible with other manufacturers making similar products, so some previously-owned accessories can be repurposed/shared for use with the Osmo Action 4. Another aspect to keep in mind, is that when there is a battery in the camera, it is subject to slowly draining as it awaits use. So, take the battery out when not in imminent use, for maximum use per charge. The manufacturer has a number of other technological claims for this device such as the use of a 1/1.3 inch sensor that they credit for the remarkably good, low-light imaging that this device delivers, as well as just generally good-looking video. They also have an option for either normal, or a 10-bit processing proprietary and somewhat controversial color space they call D-Log M for up to one billion possible colors that theoretically allows for more flexible post-production processing and more dynamic color. Unfortunately, it seems not too well understood outside of DJI how to best utilize this extra ability. Look on the DJI forum for additional information using look up tables (LUT) with this color space. Regarding stability, there are several options to keep things on the straight, steady and wide when the world is getting narrow and rapid. You gotta love the Rocksteady, Rocksteady Plus, and Horizon Balancing monikers/features that they use to describe keeping a shaky, unbalanced video world from looking too much like the reality experienced. Also, when your butt needs to land softly on butter, their frame rate options, in conjunction with the ultra-high-definition slow-motion, will do the job admirably. In addition to sensing the need for underwater color correction and applying it, the camera will also enable you to select from five, quick-access custom presets, that you can store, consisting of commonly used selections like resolution, frame rate, stability settings, and light sensitivity that can be accessed from either toggling through the side quick switch button or with a voice prompt. Charging of the batteries can be achieved quickly in only about 18 minutes for approximately 80% of a charge. Fortunately, with the 3-bay bassinet of batteries, you can charge them all simultaneously to get some lengthy power for your next impending session. If the session is outdoors in the cold or inside a freezer, those batteries are tough enough to still function at -4 degrees Fahrenheit and still record your time-lapse frozen popsicle experiment or maybe skiing, you choose. Some other clever tricks are a selfie stick removal function that will have everyone wondering why one of your arms is so stiff while making cool videos that will be hard to figure out how the shot was made. There’s a pre-recording function you can enable that will activate a tiny time machine (kind of) that goes back a minute, so you can capture the start of something that you had no idea was probably going to happen a minute ago. You can also highlight video with editing cues using the quick switch button or the optional Bluetooth remote controller while recording or add markers in playback mode to help locate editing locations later. There’s also another element to the optional Bluetooth controller called Sports Track that will superimpose relative environmental and physical aspects from GPS onto the video for use in recording outdoor adventures. Regarding audio recording, there are three microphones on the camera used to attempt to capture a semblance of direction as in stereo, but due to the close proximity of the microphones, I wouldn’t expect it to result in a very broad sound stage. There is some degree of wind noise reduction, but in my experience, not enough to eliminate it as much as you would probably like. Optionally, there are wireless microphones sold by DJI (two mics max) that are compatible with this camera, that have a whopping 250-meter range. If you want to go with a wired microphone(s), you can use an optional USB-C to 3.5mm adapter cable sold at the DJI online store. On a more ambitious track, there are also Wi-Fi livestreaming and timecode sync capabilities for those multicamera shoots or assemblage of shots in editing. The available Lightcut App software is capable of all kinds of AI-aided editing goodies including the use of available templates and suggested automated shot sequences. The DJI Osmo Action 4 is obviously a very powerful and technologically complex device capable of some very high-quality output. In my use so far with the camera, I feel like I have barely scratched the surface of all of these features. I can definitely confirm that the camera has very good quality output with a variety of resolutions and frame rates. One of the big advantages this camera has, is the low-light video quality. It’s very good. The fact that the accessories utilize the same mounting format as many other cameras is really helpful, as it may allow a number of situations to be recorded without having to order/run out and get additional accessories. My main use of action cameras is on vacations and doing activities that are typically new to me or my family. So, I look forward to learning even more about this camera then. My opinion is that this camera is a bit overpriced compared to some others, but has some advantages in low light sensitivity and software flexibility. In my opinion, it’s a very good product, but its going to take some time to learn and use all of its capabilities.

    Now a days there are a few options for action cameras. Here comes DJI with their Osmo Action 4 and they blow the competition out of the water with their performance alone. When unboxing this, I was impressed with this bundle providing everything you need to get started. Extra batteries are a must now a days and this kit includes 3 and a charging case for them. They throw in an extension rod that also serves a great purpose when out on an adventure to get the right shots and angles. The included frame for the camera looks like it can hold its own if you drop the camera with it on even though it is plastic. What I am most excited for is the performance of this camera. It claims to hold battery life of 2.5hrs. Which, depending on your recording settings varies but considering that I have played around with all the features I love that I have 10-bit & D-Log M Color for color grading in post production. Also, having the different stability options makes jittery footage a thing of the past. In low light, the 1/1.3-Inch Sensor suppresses image noise for very usable footage.

    Tiny Camera That Packs a Punch!

    Osmo’s latest Action camera has a few upgrades from its predecessor that set it apart. Upon opening and setting the camera up, it comes that a protective frame that helps shield it from drops and I recommend putting it on before using it. With its small size, I almost find it easier to drop! It easily fits in the palm of my hand and has a textured rugged hard plastic feel to it. When I first turned the camera on, I was prompted to scan a QR code to create an account and view a website DJI created as a start guide. I found it to have useful tips and information and helped me finish setting the camera up. After this step, I was then able to begin taking pictures and record my adventures. This action camera comes chock-full of great features. Without trying to make it all about specs, I will limit them to this paragraph. The Action 4 has a 2.4 micrometer pixel size, f/2.8 aperture, 155 degree field of view, and 10-bit D-Log M color mode. This helps capture better pictures in dark settings, capture more color, and have a wider viewing angle. The camera can go up to 18m deep in water (about 59 feet) and can even record in -4 degree Fahrenheit weather. Lastly, it's battery can last up to 2hr 40min (depending on video resolution/quality). Using fast charging, it's replaceable battery can charge up to 80% in 18 minutes. While this isn’t the camera to use for a personal photoshoot, it is definitely one to use for first and third person recordings. From fun nights playing hide and seek with my kiddos to biking or needing a hands free recording session to document a memory, this is an amazing camera to do so with. I have found it easier to use than my phone’s camera when at places like at the beach and can handle all of the elements my other cameras can’t. It has its different use cases and can record those fun memories that regular DSLR or phone cameras can't. While not a DSLR, it does take very clear photos and even nicer videos. I did notice its larger viewing angle does help to record wider environments up close. It can record from 1080p at 240fps up to 4K at 120fps (in 16:9 format, also can record at 2.7K at 120fps). This is especially useful to capture slow motion video. It also has video stabilization for rapid and 360 degree movement. I loved using this camera and even more when I was able to look back at the videos I recorded. The 4K video color and clarity was beautiful. (Note, it is best to use a higher quality SD card to record at 4k, I would recommend a SanDisk or Samsung SD card that writes at least at 120 MB/s with UHS-I and V30 specs). As for the audio of recordings, it was clear and precise. I found that it helped keep in focus the audio of the person using the camera versus picking up background noise. DJI has many cool and practical accessories to help record when doing different tasks. The camera itself has magnets on the bottom and side to help keep it mounted and steady onto accessories. This was beneficial since it allows for recording in both orientations, vertically and horizontally. With each accessory, there are quick release mechanisms (magnetic adapter that snaps onto the camera and can remove it by squeezing the sides of the adapter) that help to remove the camera very easily. This helped to quickly use another accessory or put away the camera. A few accessories DJI has for the camera are a bike mount, a chest strap mount, a waterproof case for deep water diving (can reach a depth of 60 meters), a GPS Bluetooth Remote Controller (allows you to add and record location, speed, direction, elevation, and distance traveled to videos) and more. I found the additional accessories included in the adventure bundle to be very useful and have used them all. I used the extension rod the most with my family and appreciated its sturdy quality. As for the battery case and travel pack, it keeps my three batteries stored and ready to go or charge at a moment's notice. My only gripe with the battery travel pack is that it doesn’t tell you the battery’s percentage. DJI also added cool features to help when recording. A feature called Pre-Rec (recording) allows you to pre-record a moment. You can record the start of a process for 60 seconds and instead of recording the time until something is finished (or cutting this out in post production editing), you can tap the record button again to start and then finish the video recording. This helps cut editing time and saves space on your memory cards as well. You are also able to set highlight markers on videos that can be seen from DJI Mimo’s editing app. Lastly, if you would like to use this camera to livestream, you are able to do so through the DJI Mimo app. The app connects to your camera wirelessly to stream. Overall, this a small camera that is fit for its action camera name. Its uses are different than traditional DSLR and phone cameras and can really record fun and beautiful memories from your own perspective. This was my first action camera and can already see myself using it more often for vacations and to document personal life memories. I recommend it for anyone looking to record up-close and personal videos and photos and for those looking for a nice camera that can handle Earth's elements.

    A most excellent action camera. Since GoPro 12 is its competitor, I'll make some comparisons. The battery lasts longer, it doesn't overheat as badly as the GoPro does. In fact, I've recorded up to 75 minutes on 4K at 30 fps and the battery was at 9% and it didn't overheat. The camera itself was very hot, but it didn't shut down. The RockSteady functions performs remarkably well and the images are crisp, clear, and recorded images retain true-to-life colors better than the GoPro. The spare batteries and the charging box in the bundle comes in remarkably handy and the selfie stick is high quality. I bought it instead of the GoPro Hero 12 without hesitation, and am glad I made that choice. Some have complained that it only has a 2X zoom, but it's not that kind of camera. The lack of a strong zoom feature shouldn't bother you if you're using the camera for what it is intended for. I have bought a lot of accessories for mine and am completely satisfied with its performance in every way.

    Amazing camera. The colors i get in the 10-bit D Log M profile is excellent. It has brought back much interest to video editing that I long abandoned before the smart phone explosion. Now I'm back to shooting life events with this very small camera that has some of the best image quality I've seen as well as great stabilization I would expect from action cameras in this category. The battery life has been amazing but I still bought the 3 pack battery so I don't miss out on any of lifes events. I've yet to shoot at night but read that it's far superior to GoPro. I would have gone w the Insta360 Ace Pro but the lack of 10 bit color made me choose the Action4 instead. No regrets so far

    There are many things to like about this camera and a couple of things that could be improved. - The video quality is great. Everytime I pull a clip from the camera, someone will point out how clear the image is even at 1080p. - This camera has good battery life. I'm able to record at 1080p 60fps for about 100mins on one battery. - The controls on the camera are intuitive. Settings are easy to change without having to read the manual. - The app is easy to navigate and offers you a way to trim a video to save an important clip. I do have an issue with needing to sideload it on Android. Why can't it be on the Play Store? - The mounting clip is much more convenient than GoPro's. You can use all of your existing GoPro accessories but the DJI's mount is attached with clips and magnets, making it easier to remove the camera and mount it on another accessory. - The included case provides some protection and is easy to remove when you need to access the battery. You can still get to the USB port of the camera without removing it. - The adventure bundle accessories are actually useful. a charging case and 3 batteries means I can record for a while before needing to recharge and I can charge 2 of the batteries while using the camera. This package is very good for the price. I've had this camera on the wishlist for a while but was waiting for the right price. I bought a GoPro Hero 11 at a discount as well a few months prior and the similarities are what makes them easy to use. We use both of them as dashcams when riding bicycles. It works great.

    Originally purchased the GoPro Hero 11 creator bundle but immediately noticed how hot the unit got during the setup process. I looked around at reviews and found that it’s a very common issue with GoPros in general. I searched for competitors and found this DJI Action 4 bundle. I have a DJI mini 3 pro drone and felt dumb not turning to DJI first for a camera since i love the drone so much! While you do lose a few cool attachments compared to the GoPro creator bundle like the light mod, tripod with battery, and wind cover for the mic; the DJI action 4 is where you should put your money. You get 3 batteries which are more important if you’re on the go. Even then you might not need them because the battery life on this camera excels past the GoPro. The included battery charging accessory is a blessing also! Let’s you charge three batteries at once similar to the Mini 3 pro battery charger. Finally the selfie stick included is super long and lightweight. If you spend some time in the Mimo app you can even make the selfie stick disappear in your shots! A quick detail for people not too camera savvy and new to action cameras like myself; the camera sensor on this model is bigger than the GoPros which simply put is better. A bigger sensor gathers more light and therefore will perform better in low light situations. I also mentioned the overheating issue on the GoPros. When compared to the GoPro, the DJI handles the heat better and when it does get near to overheating the screen will simply shut off but keep recording. The GoPro will shut down altogether and stop recording! So good job to DJI for withstanding that annoying feature in the GoPro! There are a few YouTube videos that compare the two brands and i suggest watching those to see the quality yourself. The DJI should’ve been a no brainer for me but i acted on impulse first. I highly recommend this camera bundle! Well worth the money!

    Android doesn't support the app, but it works fine downloaded onto my phone. No guarantees that the chnese gvmnt isn't watching me type this right now, but we're in the technology age so who knows what's really going on. Oh and it won't connect if you're using a VPN. Other than that it's pretty straight forward. It's a good camera, great picture, and doesn't seem to have as many hiccups as a gopro might. Battery life is pretty good but it overheats quickly filming on a hot day just like any piece of electronics would. Mine came with three batteries and the portable charger. That thing charges slowly but it's awesome to have. It charges pretty quickly connected to an outlet though. Just buy the thing and go film stuff.

    This blows away the competition. It's much more user-friendly, and has awesome 4K video quality. I love that it comes with the extension pole. It makes things so much easier. The 3 batteries AND the little triple charger is a must-have. It's very easy to load the videos into your laptop. I just connect the Action 4 to the laptop via USB-C, and that way you're not removing a small little Micro SD card every time you upload video clips. I was really impressed with the stabilization, too. Even indoors. I plan on using it for real estate work on the rare occasion that someone wants some interior video footage. I do the exterior with a drone, but there are times and circumstances where a drone is not a feasible option. I hope it goes on sale, so I can get the 60 day price match thru Best Buy Total Tech! That would make it even better. But honestly, even at $399, this package is the way to go...

    Overall happy with this camera. Far larger sensor vs. the other major brand and I like DJI's mounting system. The extra batteries and charging case are super useful. Haven't played with all the modes yet, but seems more thought out that the "market leader" with DLog options so you can edit later. Overall very happy with the purchase

    I got this camera a little over a week ago, and it already seems like a great camera. It's nice to have so many settings, not to mention Rocksteady and Rocksteady+ which do not compare to GoPro's level. The extra batteries are a must-have, and the charging case charges all three in less than an hour. The extendable selfie stick seems like it's great quality, with it only being slightly flimsy at the max level. Another reason this camera stood out to me was because I could plug in the camera directly to change the battery without removing the one inside. The compatibility with GoPro mounts such as the suction cup, which I already had, and this constant charging function gives me the opportunity to use this as an excellent dashcam. The only downside I can see is the fact that to use this camera, you must have an SD card. This did not affect me because I was already buying one, but for someone else, this may not be as appealing. Overall, this seems to be an amazing camera, from good footage at 5:00 AM to the DJI Mimo app which gives you the option to see through the camera from your phone. If my opinion changes in the future, I will update my review, but for now, 5+.

    DJI Osmo Action 4 review

    I've had this camera a little over a month and have had ZERO issues filming my son's basketball games. This is my first action camera and I have to say that I am not disappointed in the purchase. It serves its purpose and is very easy to use, even for a first-timer like myself. It came with 3 batteries and each battery can film up to 2.5 games before I need to switch out. Video quality is as advertised so make sure wherever you film there is good lighting. I would definitely recommend to anyone in the market for this type of camera and its purpose.

    Went from a gopro 10 to this. Got this open box at a great price. Comes with three batteries and a charging case which is awesome. The selfie stick is cool too. Works great, video quality is great and doesnt overheat like my gopro 10 did. Only con. You have to disable celluar network to download videos from camera to phone via app.

    From the moment I unboxed the DJI Osmo Action 4, it was evident that this wasn't just another action camera. Designed with the user in mind, this camera breaks the stereotype of complicated setups and brings simplicity back into action photography. I have had a blast with this camera over the past week! I went on a hiking/camping trip and this camera was perfect for capturing some of those incredible moments. There were so many fantastic things about this camera, here are some highlights: Seamless Setup and Use: For many, the often-complicated setup and fiddling with settings can be a deterrent. This is where the Osmo Action 4 stands out. It’s refreshingly straightforward right from the get-go. With intuitive settings and a user-friendly interface, even the least tech-savvy users can get started immediately. The inclusion of autofocus, combined with minimized fish-eye distortion, is a clear nod to those who want clear, professional-looking shots without the hassle. Adventure Bundle - Comprehensive and Thoughtful: The bundled accessories, including a long (~5ft) selfie stick, three batteries, and mounts, are not mere add-ons but essential tools for all-day adventures. The magnetic mounts are a brilliant addition, making attaching and detaching the camera a breeze. The 3-bay charger is fantastic for its ability to simultaneously charge and indicate battery status via LED - essential for long excursions. Performance in Action: On testing the camera on my camping trip, the results were nothing short of spectacular. From hiking trails to fast-paced runs, the digital stabilization ensures that every shot is as steady as can be. A special mention to the front-facing screen – it’s a game-changer for framing those perfect selfies or vlogs. For those ever-changing scenarios, the auto-rotate feature ensures that every shot, be it portrait or landscape, is captured with precision. Portrait mode is also a GREAT option when posting so some social media sites. DJI's Complementary Apps– The Perfect Complement: The DJI Mimo and LightCut apps act as the perfect companions to the camera. Their easy-to-follow UI design paired with a plethora of tips and a dedicated learning center ensures that users become great photographer/videographer with the Osmo Action 4. Technical Specs Highlight: Ultra-clear 10MP shots with a CMOS sensor. Stunning image resolution of 3648 x 2736. Broad 2.25" LCD touchscreen with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Versatile shooting with 4X digital zoom, f/2.8 aperture, and 400mm minimum focal length. Advanced features like up to 240 fps video frame rate, HDR mode, slow motion, and MP4 encoding. Reliable wireless connectivity via Bluetooth and WiFi. A sturdy 1770 mAh battery ensures prolonged shooting sessions. Conclusion: The DJI Osmo Action 4 Adventure Bundle is a must-have for those passionate about capturing life's thrilling moments without the hassle of complex settings. Whether you're scaling mountains, capturing cityscapes, or a grandparent capturing family moments, this camera is your trusty companion for all your adventures. It not only delivers on performance but also ensures you enjoy the process. DJI knocked it out of the park with this camera! Happy recording!

    The Osmo action 4 is a great on the go camera, I found it much easier to use than the Prev GoPro. The on screen navigating & menu alone is already ten times better. While the megapixel and resolution is lower than the GoPro. I found the camera to be able to perform better in dusk / low light scenarios. It also works well with the DJI mics.

    I love the quality of this camera. The battery life is great and and the new magnetic mounting system is awesome. The picture quality is even better than the 1st DJI Osmo Action which is what I replaced with this one. I love that both the front screen and back can both be on and that you can take pictures in video in portrait mode as well as landscape.

    Almost bought a GoPro, last minute decided to check out the DJI and so happy I did. Quality is outstanding, the user interface is incredibly easy to use. Phone connectivity is rock solid and the stabilization is unbelievable. Battery life was the main reason I bought it and it last. Excited to take it to the extreme!
