Blue Shirt Advice Spot On for Action Camera

I've been using a cheap action camera off and on for several years and was tired of the usability hassles. Deciding to upgrade to GoPro, I found one on sale. But in the store, Allie showed me the DJI. Usability is great with touch screen, and the battery life is also great with three large batteries and a charging case. Wearing in a headband, the start-stop cues are memorable. Finally, the link-up to the app on your phone always works, and works quickly, so you can see what the camera sees.
I chose this model for front and rear screens, but frankly am not using them much. I link this to my phone and the phone is my viewfinder, then put the old cheapo on a tripod and use the integral screen to aim that. But if this were my only camera then it would be different, and I will have it on a tripod eventually.

The DJI Osmo Action 4 has honestly blown me away. The image quality is incredibly sharp, and the low light performance is one of the best I’ve seen on any action camera. Colors look natural, stabilization is insanely smooth, and HorizonSteady keeps every shot level even when things get chaotic.
The build quality feels solid and premium, and the magnetic quick release mount makes swapping setups super fast. Battery life is also a huge win, longer run times and quick charging mean I don’t have to worry about it dying mid adventure. The camera handles heat well too, which is impressive during longer recordings.
The UI is simple, responsive, and easy to navigate, and the front and rear touchscreens make framing and adjusting settings a breeze. Whether you’re recording sports, travel, POV shots, or everyday clips, the Action 4 delivers reliable, pro level results.

The Action 4 is a fantastic action camera. This package in particular is a great starting kit as well. The footage I have gotten so far is very high quality, the camera is easy to use, and I love the magnetic attachment system.
I also love the easy access to the USB-C port allowing for easy charging or wireless mic use too. Overall when compared to my Hero 11, I would purchase this camera if I had to choose, but the GoPro app is definitely much better if that's something that's important.
Also for intro kits this kit is awesome as you get 3 batteries and a great charger. The extendable stick attachment is a solid accessory too.

I use this for dash cam in my car and on my motorcycle helmet, Having the extra battery pack with 2 other batteries is super nice for when you are out on an adventure and the battery gets low you have 2 extra and can keep recording. The interface is easy to navigate and learn and swapping the battery out is easy and fast.

Really really good, U think even better than the hero 12, Really good stabilizer. You can record on 1080 & 4k fps goes up to 120fps. So 4k 120 fps is insane, vlogs, edits, a camera for it all and very affordable, the battery's charge a long time the camera hardly over heats. It has time lapse, hyper time lapse, slow motion, great for night use. Highly recommend. Check out my videos on Ig:JustPepzy

Moved from the GoPro 10 to the DGI Osmo action 4. Extremely pleased with the results size and quality seems to be great improvement love the battery charging case, and especially the magnetic connector, which makes moving the camera to and from attachments. The front screen, which is now touch capable, makes changing settings a breeze. The preset button makes moving from one function to another Easy.

Used daily for two weeks on vacation and underwater with the optional dive housing.
Great battery life, no overheating or locking up, excellent color accuracy and stabilization. Big improvement over the other name brand. You must download the DJI Mimo app onto your phone to unlock camera after 5 uses. Having 3 batteries and stand-alone charger is another reason to buy this kit. Very satisfied.

DJI Osmo Action 4 Review

This camera takes incredibly high quality film. It also is very user friendly and can compete with the competition quite well. The only shortcomings that I found with the device is that the Horzion Steady feature crops in the picture heavily and there are no lens attachments to help widen the FOV to compensate for this. I can live with this and edit it in post, but an accessory like this would greatly stiffen the competition against more popular brands such as Insta360, or GoPro. Overall, I really like the package and the accessories that come with it. Just invest in a case as it does not come with one.

So far after using for about 2/3 weeks I can’t say anything negative about this camera. Great battery life to begin I can typically just run off 1 battery. As far as image quality once you put it in 4K it looks amazing. Stability is good as well. It feels very well built and not something weak in what I see with the dji pocket 3 .

This camera is fantastic, the image quality is great and it pairs wireless to the DJI mic2. I like being able to set different video profiles and switch them on the fly. The adventure bundle with the battery pack is super convenient.

I bought this camera for my son, who lost his Gopro. He was talking with a friend that does a lot of videos, and the friend recommended this camera. My son is thrilled with this camera. The batteries last a lot longer than the others. The video and audio recordings are so much better. He can't stop going on about all of the features on this camera compared to the other one. It makes me happy that he loved his gift so much,

I love the camera so far for movies, the battery life and video quality is great. I had a cheap action camera before and the quality doesn't even come close to DJIs. The software is easy to use, better water proofing on this compared to GoPro also helps while using the pool etc.
The only con is photo quality, right now the situation is that you still have to choose between a camera like Olympus Tough series or an action came like this depending on whether you shoot videos primarily or take photos.

I have had this action camera for almost a year and its amazing what it can do. Video quality is excellent and audio its good as well. Having the ability to change settings its a plus for me, I like to manually set my cameras depending on lighting.
Image stabilization its AMAZING

There's something with this brand that i can't think of anything negative. I own the first gen Osmo action since it came out and it can compete with the latest action cams out there. This is my second action cam i got the adventure bundle with 2 extra battery with charging station and the stick. No need to anything extra such as charging cables, adapters etc. I strongly recommend this package if you are ready to create social videos and stories. The app works very smooth with my cell phone no need for additional software to create social vids. I love DJI products and i spent too much money to their products :)

I always wanted one of these type of action cams for vlogs and travel, and this package didn't disappoint. It's a great deal to not only have 3 batteries but also a stick that I feel are essential when filming that type of content. It's a great introduction into these type of products and glad I got this before my trip. I should've bought one a long time ago. I love that it has the quick magnetic release, it's life changing. It looks great, and MUCH smaller than I had imagined when viewing this online. The size is perfect to not feel any weight or catch much attention when doing walking street shots. My gf also wants one now. I heavily researched before buying and DJI was one of the top 2 to get, but because of the value this already came with, it was a no brainer!
