detailedReviews: detailedReviews 1: content: Have GoPro 8 for several years and one frustration I have is the overheating and extreme cold shut down issue with GoPro. Even in an air conditioned place, if continue recording, GoPro will overheat and shut down. Recent trip to Iceland where temp drop to -12F (~24C), GoPro shuts down at the critical moment of the Geysir spout and other times where it shuts down due to overheat or cold and cause lost of precious video footage where some moments only happen once. Had DJI Action 4 for about 2 months. Compare GoPro 8 which I still have to DJI, both video and photo quality are good to a causal user like me. Advantages DJI have over GoPro is when it gets hot, it continues to record (both DJI and GoPro gets very hot during continues recording); DJI's magnetic quick release adapters make changing from one setup to another SO MUCH easier. DJI has a little better footage when shoot in dark areas vs GoPro. DJI has a better value combo for about the same price as GoPro, DJI combo gives user 3 batteries+charger+selfie stick. The extra batteries will allow recording for a long time with each battery provide continue recording at 1080 60fps last about 50minutes from my experience. DJI provides a better true color than GoPro and has a better wide angle fish eye effect rendering. I haven't had a chance to test the extreme cold condition yet, but so far I like DJI more and I use GoPro 8 I had as my backup recorder. Knock off a star due to DJI Action 4 still gets pretty hot during continues recording.

detailedReviews 2: content: Image Quality:Exceptional
Performance:Great as advertised
Second purchase from DJI Official Store and I'm really impressed by their efforts in delivering your order safely and secured. Kudos!!!
Here is my unbiased review after 2 weeks of usage:
Build Quality: Solid, rugged and lightweight
- DJI hold up their promise and quality assurance on their action camera lineup, ensuring you have the best experience in video and photo shooting wherever you are. I tested out in rainy, hot sunny days and it is still working perfectly fine. While content creators do recommend buying a third party metal cage to further enhance protection, but that is an optional choice. Occasionally I dropped my DJI Action 4 on cemented ground and asphalt by accident, it works just as fine right after picking up.
Camera & Video Experience:
Exceptional, but with a shortcoming.
- With the release of Rocksteady+™ and HorizonSteady™ on DJI Action 4, I hope they implement SubjectTracking to DJI Action 4 as well, but that would make DJI Action 5 Pro becoming less prominent.
I like both RS+ and HS(360°), but specifically I find RS and HB(45°) are more than enough for my daily needs. Personally I do videography in school for stage performance and sport field. These features made my video buttery smooth and I get to do a little cinematic trick without worrying extreme shakiness.
You can do video recording up to 4K 120fps 16:9 aspect ratio, however in 4:3 mode, you're limit till 4K 60fps. Personally, I choose 2.7K/16:9 30fps with RS mode for general uses. Each steady mode affects lens FOV zoom, for example HS zooms in the most, while choosing "Off" retains the original zoom.
Camera & Video Quality: Great, but camera mode may be good for near to mid range shots. More zoom = Less quality shot.
- Thanks to it's 1/1.3 sensor, you can expect your video in great quality. In low light condition however may proven to be a little challenging to capture good shots, though this can be compensated with a few light sources. Personally I choose D-Log M 10-bit for more ease of adjustment on post processing, thus in low light condition, I can still capture a few significant details. Don't worry about the washed out effect, you can edit your produce through DJI Mimo app.
Battery Life: 2 hours is more than enough for my needs.
- With the latest software update, you can swap in DJI Action 5 Pro battery for DJI Action 4. Although there are third party companies which offer high mAh battery volume, but I prefer using in-house battery for warranty assurance.
Of course, battery depletion highly depends on your usage. Higher resolution recording drains battery faster. In one of my uses, (2.7K/16:9, RS, 30fps, non-continuous recording, at most 8 mins duration for 2hr30mins ) battery drops from 98% to 74% under A/C general hall. Device got warm after yet it is still ok to hold on. No stuttering frames.
Miscellaneous
- You get a few essential accessories for general use in this package. Unless you want the extension rod and extra batteries, go for the Adventure Combo.
- Adhesive base mount adapter is ok for helmet or caps but I wish DJI includes another 1/4 screw base mount adapter.
- The plastic housing may be good enough for general protection, but it blocks the battery+microsd slot compartment. Hopefully DJI will implement a better housing case in their future models.
Overall, DJI Osmo Action 4 is great for beginners and content creators who want portability and the best bang of their bucks.

detailedReviews 3: content: 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.

detailedReviews 4: content: Returned this camera. Found that you CANNOT user this camera unless you register it using the DJI Mimo app, which was removed from Google Play because it does not comply with security standards (presumably) and needs to be downloaded directly from DJI and sideloaded onto your phone, bypassing Google Play and any security protections. Do a Google search for DJI mimo sideload security risk and you'll learn a lot. My first hit reads ...DJI Mimo may collect more data than it needs and that in-app updates are a security-risk...Google has a good reason for not allowing in-app updates on their storefront and users should not allow these apps on their phones. My next summary reads US government has banned DJI from all government phones for security reasons. Side-loading an Android app is dangerous under ANY circumstances, but particularly where the country of origin is engaged on ongoing spy activities against the US.
Redditt has tons of posts on this. One such posts points to an analysis of the app breakdown for DJI Go, which uses similar access and toolkits, found on the synacktiv web site. Check the section of Shady features
Once you install this DJI app, which can auto-update, you're giving the app permissions to basically download and install anything they want on your phone...and from a company whose apps are well known to phone home often and with YOUR private data.

detailedReviews 5: content: 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.

detailedReviews 6: content: I have been using Gopros for a good long while, was using the 9 and its served me well except in low light. I don't mean almost dark, I mean in forest canopy on a cloudy day low light mountain biking. Anyways, I figured it was time to upgrade and the Osmo seemed to really check more boxes than the Hero 13.
I had read that it can be difficult with Android, impossible is more like it. Side loading apparently has gotten much more difficult with Android, and I don't like the idea of bypassing security anyways, but I tried 2 different Androids and couldn't get it to work. Reading up I didn't find a lot of help, but I did read where someone noticed it was loading the software from Russia....yeah, not a fan of that. Also the size of the download was unreal, around 1GB, no way is there any good reason for that other than bloatware.
I did get it activated through my sons iphone and the camera worked fine, but I didn't notice any great improvement from my Hero 9 other than maybe low light, and not sure the stabilization was even as good. I did get the 13 and compared video, I think the 13 looks better overall, but didn't put it through a hard test. BH took the camera back no problem, thanks guys.

title: I have been using Gopros for a good...
detailedReviews 7: content: This is now my 4th action cam, although my 1st made by DJI. These cams are mainly used for my online videos I create that are automotive and drag racing related. While I will switch between cams depending on my need, often times, such as during actual races, I'll use every single one of my cams in various spots to get multiple angles. One of the most common views you'll see in my vids though is a POV perspective while mounted on my helmet or head strap.
With that, we may as well dive right in to video quality as that's really the main feature that truly matters with any cam. Being there hasn't been any race events happening in the short time since I got this DJI Action Cam, I haven't had a chance to try it out on a racetrack, but that doesn't mean I didn't have any content that needed to be filmed. All the footage I've taken thus far has been from a POV perspective, either while driving or just in my garage working on my car. And I have to say, I'm honestly impressed with the quality of video I've been getting so far.
Video is nice and smooth in either scenario, and the stabilization, which I almost always use, has been working perfectly. All of my surroundings while driving are coming across perfectly clear, and I'm not having any issue with light differences between my darker interior where the camera is obviously recording from, to the bright and sunny exterior. I've had cases with the outside getting washed out and haven't really experienced that at all with this camera. Then while in my garage, and especially under my hood where the lighting can get dark, it captures everything in perfect detail. It's tough to say which of my action cams has a better picture as this and my other latest Black action cam are both comparable, but I will say the video on this DJI seems to be a bit sharper with the colors just popping a bit more. I try to keep similar settings between my cams as well, although there's still a lot I need to try out with this DJI.
One issue I regularly come across with action cams is overheating. It's a battle I'm constantly fighting, especially considering all of the real-time processing these cameras are doing. While this DJI doesn't eliminate that problem, it at least acknowledges it and when you try to put it at 4K/120, it tells you right up front that you're going to have a short recording window, just 9 minutes at 77 degrees at that setting. Of course the less demanding your settings the less of a problem that is, but it's definitely something to be aware of with these action cams.
Another thing that affects recording time is battery life. The camera can't record no matter what the settings are at if there's no power. How long the battery lasts will also depend on how demanding the settings are that you're recording at, but so far it's been comparable to my other action cams and lasts plenty long enough for me to get all the footage I need in between recharges, or battery swaps. And speaking of swaps, I absolutely LOVE the fact that this DJI adventure combo comes with not just 3 batteries, but also a charging case that holds all 3 batteries! Just the fact that it comes in the package instead of forcing you to buy more separately is a huge plus. The case is pretty nice too. It's slim and compact and travels really well.
What doesn't travel well is all the accessories and hardware that comes with this kit. With all the thought and usefulness of everything that was included in this adventure combo, it doesn't make sense to me why they wouldn't include some sort of carry case for it all as well. We'll get back to the accessories later though.
In order to use this cam you need to set it up, and this is where we come to one of my negatives. First time I used this cam I was in a rush after getting it, and barely had time to unbox it before heading out the door. Turning it on you come across a message that you need the DJI app to 'activate' the camera, although it does let you skip this part. Skipping it, you get right to the full functionality of the camera, but, you can only skip this 'activation' 5 times. After that 5th time, the camera locks itself at that screen and becomes a small brick until you download and sign into the app and 'activate' the camera. I put quotes around the word 'activate' because there's really not anything being 'activated', the cam worked perfectly fine without it. Personally, I never use most of the features that come with these types of apps. I just have too many different cameras and equipment with all the content I create, that I need a different kind of software to manage it all. Plus I find it much faster and easier to transfer files directly by moving the sd card. In reality, for me at least, the only thing I would use the app for are firmware updates. Even then, there's no reason to brick the camera if you can't or don't 'activate' it with a forced app. Rant aside, the app does at least provide some good tips on using the camera and there was in fact a firmware update already available. Then another minor issue popped up, as soon as I updated the firmware, all of the settings I had configured were gone and I had to redo them all.
Now onto the accessories. Besides the camera and batteries with case mentioned earlier, this adventure combo also comes with a stick-on helmet mount, mount hardware, case, extension rod, and a lens hood with some nifty mount pads. First thing you're almost definitely going to use is some kind of mount. Which brings me to another thing that I love with this cam, the quick release magnetic mount! For one, it's compatible with all my other action cam accessories. This is a huge deal as I have already have suction cups and other various straps and mounts for my other action cams and I'd hate to spend more money to buy them over again. The other thing though, which is just as big of a deal for me, is the ingenious design of the quick release mount and how easy and fast it allows me to remove and attach the camera. I can't tell you how often I'm rushing to screw on my other action cams between races or when I need to re-position something. This quick release mount is going save me a lot of time and aggravation when I'm time constrained and can't afford to waste time fidgeting with a camera.
As for the rest of the accessories, the body case is pretty nifty too in that it lets you mount the camera on its side, but also isn't required to be used. Last but not least we have the extension rod/handle. When I first opened it up, it felt like that never-ending handkerchief magic trick, as I started extending the handle, more and more just kept sliding out. I was legitimately surprised by it, so much so I had to grab my tape measure and found it extended a full 48"!
There's not much more to talk about with this DJI Action 4 Adventure Combo. It has all the features I would want and need in an action cam and most importantly gives me great quality footage to use in my videos. The activation requirement through the app is really my only big issue, but as it has nothing to do with the functionality of the camera, I can't really take away from my rating for it, even though I'd like to. Overall it's a great camera and I can't wait to get it out onto a racetrack and get some more great footage with it.

detailedReviews 8: content: The DJI Osmo Action 4 4k camera continues DJI's reputation of creating high quality products that offer a great value at a good price. The adventure bundle is quite impressive upon inboxing as you receive 3 batteries with a charging case that can charge and store the batteries. The package also includes a action horizontal-vertical protective frame, a quick release adapter mount a mini quick release adapter mount, a action curved adhesive base (can be attached to a helmet), 2 locking screws, a type C usb cable, a extension rod that can be mounted to a tripod, a action lebs hood and a anti slip pad. You will also find some paperwork as well as a DJI sticker.
The set-up process is quite easy if you follow the on screen directions. You are required to download the DJI app in order to activate the camera however that is not a problem because the app allows you to remotely control the camera. Once the SD card is installed you are ready to go.
The Osmo action 4 has quite a large sensor that allows you to capture footage at a high quality regardless of the lighting. The low light imaging is quite impressive as the footage was very clear when I took the camera out an early morning bike ride and I assumed the footage would not be great because of lighting but I was glad to be proven wrong. The color performance of the footage also allows you to keep great quality upon editing. If you are into snowboarding or skiing the camera is able to with stand temperatures up to -4 F while allowing you to record for 150 minutes. The camera records at 120 frames per second with an ultra wide 155 degree field of view. The stabilization is also unmatched as the footage was smooth even when running with the camera. DJI also indicated the stability control works even with full 360 degree rotations. You have the ability to record time lapse or slow motion videos as well as take pictures. The camera itself has a viewfinder on the front and a touch screen on the back. You also have the ability to view the camera on the app via your phone.
I am excited to continue using the DJI Osmo Action Cam 4K as DJI has hit it out of the park with another great product. I'm excited to continue to capture high quality footage with this camera and my DJI drone for years to come.

detailedReviews 9: content: 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.

detailedReviews 10: content: The camera works fine... not great for close-up work, but that is to be expected... but what nobody tells you when you purchase it is you HAVE TO DOWNLOAD an App on a mobile device AND REGISTER THIS CAMERA TO EVEN USE IT! It allows you to turn it on 5 times before locking you out COMPLETELY unless you download the app and "Activate" it. I couldn't download the app on my Samsung phone for some reason so I can't even use it? Why? Can't we just purchase a camera and take pictures without having to use an app and sign up and use passwords and register... dang, I paid $300 for this thing, just let me use it! Now until I can spend MY time and energy troubleshooting this camera and the app situation to find a solution, my expensive camera is unusable. Great. Nice job OSMO. I hope I can take this thing back and get my money. I'm frustrated! can you tell? :) Seriously, I think it's a really good camera, I did take a few videos that were good before it 'locked' me out. Now what do I do with it?
