DJI Osmo Action 4 Standard Combo, Waterproof Action Camera Vlogging Camera

About a year ago I decided that I wanted to focus more on vlogging and capturing my travels. I already owned a dslr and a point and shoot, but I find vlogging in public with huge cameras to be quite awkward. Most of the recommendations at the time suggested the Osmo Pocket 3, but it was nearly impossible to find for a reasonable price at the time, so I looked at DJI's other options and landed on the Action series. The Action 5 was the newest at the time and reviews were nice, but I thought the Action 4 was the better deal for what I needed- I'm glad I made that decision! The Action 4 is very tiny and I was honestly shocked at the quality. I mostly shoot in 4k and my videos always come out very crisp and high quality. This camera works the best in very well lit environments, aka outside or in a studio setting with appropriate lighting. I noticed that my video coloring was great straight out of the box, but the settings are easy to configure should you need to. One benefit is the touchscreen on either side, it makes it super easy to alter settings without taking the camera off of a tripod or out of its cage. The camera also has decent battery life and can record a few hours of footage at a time. Another plus for me is the portability- I can fit the camera in my pocket, purse, tiny crossbody, etc! It makes vlogging less awkward and I don't have to feel like I'm hiding. Another plus is photo quality, as with video, the lighting of the environment makes all the difference. I've gotten some shots that match the quality of my old Canon DSLR and G7x Mark III! I don't have many negatives about the camera and I think it's fine as long as you know what you're getting. This is an action camera, so I works best in action settings. This isn't a camera that you would use for filming long-form stationary content. Use it how it's intended and you'll be fine. Overall I think the Action 4 is ideal for beginners in the action vlogging space with its compact size, intuitive app, and simple controls!

I’ve used this camera for travel and outdoor activities, and the video quality is excellent. The stabilization works really well, even when I’m moving quickly, and the footage stays smooth and clear. The camera is compact, easy to use, and the battery life has been solid for me. I also like that it can handle water and cold weather, which makes it great for skiing and other outdoor trips. Overall, very reliable and worth the money.

Love it! Records well, with some adaptations & accessories. Battery cover weak, order a backup right away PRO: takes direct sunlight heat like a champ!!! Would follow advice to use external battery with cord to lessen the overheating factor in outdoor sun, but otherwise lasts with own internal fully charged battery expected 1-2hrs continual recording. CON: rugged metal shell that comes with doesn't accommodate a basic port depth hollyland lavalier mic while on, so either no shell or an adapter or cord to attach mic. poor design on that casement dimension. CON: nearly first week the battery door broke off an integral tiny plastic latching nib piece during normal opening and closing, and now won't hold closed let alone won't be waterproof. Already ordered new cover, and delayed needed use-time since I can't risk it damaging internal components at all while waiting for shipment. Wish that was made with metal, or a different latch system that is not so vulnerable. Orderd another backup incase happens again. CON: Neewer filters I bought that push onto existing lens work great! BUT don't have any covers made to fit I can find on the interwebs, so after trial & error, found binocular covers/caps fit filters perfectly without slipping! PRO: Sturdy, simple design. easy to understand controls right out of the box, though need to know a little about manual camera settings if you want to customize your shots professionally. Auto mode though allows for bright light & dark light settings.

I absolutely loved using this underwater camera on my vacation! I used it on multiple scuba dives, and it performed incredibly well. The photo and video quality underwater exceeded my expectations, and I was able to capture some amazing memories. The battery was impressive too—it easily lasted through two 1-hour dives while I was recording video and taking pictures. The only thing I wish it had was a way to zoom while recording underwater. It wasn’t a dealbreaker, but being able to zoom would have made it much easier to capture fish and other marine life that were farther away. Overall, I’m extremely happy with this camera and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to capture their underwater adventures.

What an unbelievable camera. So much more than I expected. The image is so clean and no vibration at 100mph. The thing that made me nervous was the way the mount is. It didn't seem strong visually but it will survive skydiving.

The DJI Osmo Action 4 has been a staple of my videography from in the air, on land, and underwater. My main complaint about it is that I only have one. I love how it transitions from land to underwater as is. However, I brought accessories to ensure it doesn’t make direct contact with salt water during ocean adventures. The case has kept the camera dry, without fogging, every time and the water quickly flows away during the transition. The camera provides excellent stability as evidenced in the attached video from inside of a dragster speeding down an uneven drag strip in about 8 seconds at around 170mph. The camera is easy to use and maintain with excellent battery life. It seamlessly connects to my computer via USB-C, but sometimes I use the software to wirelessly transfer files on my phone with excellent speed. Even when not on sale, it’s worth the price. It fits in my backpack with ease, even though I typically keep it on an extension rod for quick access, which brings up this. There’re times when I turn on the camera before recording, but I love the option to simultaneously power on and instantly record with one touch. And kudos to DJI for its thermal management because it has never shut down on me while recording in hot vehicles in the Caribbean heat. When recording drag racing, I may use less than 2 minutes of a recording that exceeds 20 minutes. The DJI software also allows me to trim the clips and either save as a new or replacement file prior to exporting. Awesome product!

I really wanted to give this camera 5 stars. It is clearly one of the best action cams I have ever owned. The image stabilization is incredible. Even running over rough terrain on my bike comes out smooth like I was on pavement. The video is me going from a paved trail to grass to pavement again then across a small patch of dirt then back on the path. There is usually a big bump at each of those transitions but you cannot even tell in the video. I am bumping it a star because you are forced to download their terrible app to register the camera. They give you five times to use the camera then you can't use it anymore until you register it. The app is terrible. Once you launch it, there is no way to exit the app other than to force shut it down. Luckily, website say you do not need the app to use it after registering so I quickly uninstalled the app. The camera and quality are excellent but they make you jump through some hoops to remove restrictions on the camera. It is a bit totalitarian.

Even though the Osmo Action 5 is out, I chose to purchase this previous release on a sale. I am not disappointed. I had been studying these for some time, and knew this would be a good move. It was. My main use cases are: - live recording for music gigs - creative blogging - web streaming (though I have other cameras for that) Let's be clear - I have owned GoPros like the Hero Session 5 and the Hero 8 for many years. I've gigged with them, used them on vacation, and done some paid projects with them. I always struggled with the poor start up time, extremely poor battery performance, and other user interface issues on both of those GoPro models. Battery life is the main issue - with batteries running down while inside the camera while it's off. Almost every time I try to use the Hero 8, I need to immediately replace to battery, even if the battery was fully charged when I put the unit away. I finally broke down and started using a USB power pack, but that gets clunky and isn't always practical. Another big hassle was the Hero 8 web cam capability, which never worked properly on any OS that I tried, even after numerous firmware updates. Since they are now on Hero 13, there's no point beating that dead horse. I also attempted to cheap out with an AKASO EK7000, knowing it would probably suck. Honestly, it's not a bad camera for capturing squirrel videos on my porch. I love the remote that came with it. But the AKASO is not road-ready for gigs. The construction is cheap, the battery is hard to get to, and the batteries suffer from the same quick drain as the GoPro batteries. Which brings me back to the DJI Action 4. It's freaking is amazing. The immediate reaction in terms of user experience is joy. I took the DJI on a gig right away, and had no problem getting it to perform up to my expectations. Startup time is great. Battery life is amazing. The dual screen (front/back) really changes how you use a camera like this. The touch interface is a much smoother experience than GoPro. The magnetic mount is very nice too, and much less hassle (though I still use the GoPro connector on occasion). It's time to move to magnetic mounts. The *only* downside here is that Osmo still does not allow *clean* HDMI. Or so I hear. I have not tested this yet, but I imagine the web resources are correct on this. I can deal with that for now. I hear that the Action 5 is even better.... if that's true. WOW. You can even see GoPro now copying DJI with their magnetic mounts. GoPro knows they need to improve, or just get out of the way. This is my first DJI purchase, and they knocked it out of the park. Waiting for the Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo to go on sale, but I may not bother to wait. I am ready to leave GoPro behind. You should too.

La compre hace años y la calidad de videos también debajo de agua sigue viva

I really love this camera is so compact and easy to use! The quality is really is good! I film family vlogs and as someone who has kids this for me is the best camera ever! Also works amazingly under water! We had so much fun with it this summer! Definetly worth the buy! I wished I had bought the whole thing rather than the standard package! Video quality: 100% really clear, steady Picture quality: Really good and crisp Audio quality: 100% really clear, captures voices really good, pretty much no need for an external mic if you ask me Function; very easy to use, pocket friendly, can film anything almost immediately, by just pressing the record button. Perfect for anything honestly

Very happy with my purchase, great action camera and super user friendly! Great buy

渓流釣りの動画用に購入しました。凄く良いです。画像、音質、手ブレ、全てにおいてかなり良いい！価格もお手頃でこの性能はお得！2台目もDJIで決まりです。

I have been using the Action 4 for a fair while now, motorcycle vlogging on YouTube. It is far and away the best action camera I have used. It is feature rich, solidly constructed, produces great quality video with excellent color and dynamic range, and best of all--It doesn't glitch like so many other cameras. I love the magnetic clip style mounting system. It takes all of 2 seconds to mount or remove from my helmet. I use the DJI audio adapter to connect to the mic in my helmet. The sound quality is excellent and fully adjustable in Db level. Exposure control is quite in depth using auto or manual modes, and the interface is intuitive making it easy to change settings. You can also create custom user settings saved in memory to quickly switch between preferences. I do wish the battery life was double what it is, but to be fair, most competitors are similar if not worse in that regard. My last camera had a 6 hour battery life but the video quality was nowhere near this, so I'll accept less battery life for a superior end result. Just have to plan ahead and have a spare battery handy. Note: order the combo if available or at least order the battery pack accessory with the camera. You'll be glad you did.
