No matter what camera you use, there are a few easy ways to make the most boring location look cinematic, even if you’re a complete beginner. See how

Great video Tamara, thank you. The Action 4 looks awesome, but I too am waiting eagerly for the pocket 3 before deciding.

[LeftThisBLANK]

I think OA4 + Pocket 2 is the best combo for vloggers. They compliment each other very well and can also serve as back ups.

If that pocket 3 comes out though with DJI's technology now...

[TheIntendedOutcome]

First time on the channel, your studio footage is superb. The colors, the mood. The comparison of the cameras is amazing too!

Great video Tamara I've used the pocket 2 for years with all of my vlogs but now I just ordered the action 4 can't wait 🔥🔥🔥

[editorskeys]

I've got the Action 4 and used to own the Pocket 2, I think in some places the Pocket 2 looks nicer! (almost looks closer to a real camera)

[maxbernyk]

I was expectng a bit more sharpness from Action 4 after all the focusing problems with Action 3. Pocket 2 focus on closer objects is still better, imo. Can see it very well in the "Audio" section of the video, where Action 4 have better details in the background, but Pocket 2 is way better for the actual vlogging object.

I was literally comparing the 2 yesterday from purely a spec sheet, so it is great to have a real world scenario where the 2 get compared to each other. Great video and really helpful!

[Youngcamping]

I got pocket 2, never thought I needed an action cam, but now I think I need one😂 Great video!

[JustinPulitzerTrades]

One of these Action cam makers should make a 1" F1.8. Maybe even ASP-C, that's game, set, match.

[kikoubun]

Great review thanks for comparing those 2 cameras, seems to me though that the Pocket 2 is still the king in low light, cannot decide on which one to get!

[juhaaavalaakso]

So Pocket 3 is coming. Retail box can be seen in DJI forums. Sharing your thoughts? It is raining snow and water now. OA4 is made for outdoors it is 0 Celsius. What I noticed OA4 colors are great with white snow, green grass and blue sky in the same picture at the same time. Recorded yesterday 2 hours 4k 50 fps continuously in tripod kids making snow mans. Was a great purchase.

Would love to see a review of the Action 4 using external battery setup to see how long it can record without overheating if you ever get the chance.

Thank you so much for this Tamara!
Short version: P2 is brill, Tamara's LUTs are ace!
The pocket 1 (lives at the bottom of my bag basically unused) got me right out of a pinch at a wedding recently where there was just no other option. It did well but needed quite a bit of work in post on noise reduction. Then the Action 4 dropped and I got excited, on asking around on social media became apparent A4 is good but not quite there on low light.
Thanks to this review and info gathered on some groups. I've upgraded the P1 to the P2, this evening downloaded your LUTs tested the P2 on a dog walk at sunset and they are perfect! Ty! 🥰🙌

I’m loving the Action 4. Lovely, sharp footage with that dynamic range. I tried your Action 4 LUTS this morning and boy, they look good too.

Following quite a negative experience with the Action 3, my confidence has been restored by the 4!

[mickue]

Turn RockSteady off in low light situations on the Action4 and use GyroFlow in Post to stabilize the footage. That way, you get rid of the jitter.

[ezer-tech]

Thank you so much for such informative and professional content! You deserve much more audience and subscribers for all the effort you put into your content.
Just discovered your channel, and I'm going to recommend you! 🙂

[ArmandSalmon]

After nearly all of August looking at reviews for Action 4, Pocket 2 this is a great side by side comparison.
Remarkable how well the Pocket 2 still holds up three years later and in some instances, it looks better than Action 4.
Personally, I like the FOV of the Pocket 2 as the it looks more of what your eye actually sees.

Tamara
I asked you the question which was better to buy last week and I feel over the last 6:01 mins you have answered that now many thanks

[philsgarage]

Hi Tamara. Thanks for the review. Just received my OA4 this morning and I plan to do a side by side comparison with my Pocket 2 (Or even 1), OA2 and OA3 (And maybe my Mavic Air2 drone) . If I have time, I’ll publish it too on my channel, even if it’s more motorbike focus… For those who read me : Do NOT hesitate to purchase Tamara’s new LUTs. They are absolutely easy to use and efficient. I tried many others, sold by packs of 50 where you finally get lost !! I’m now editing my next movie with Tamara’s luts only. If I wan’t to bring my personal touch, I just play with the basic parameters of my editing software (Lumafusion) but Tamara Luts bring a perfect base to publish like that or to customize. The blue sky or Vegetal boosters are a great idea. I just purchased the D-Log luts for my OA4 and noticed that they perfectly match with the Log profile of my Canon XA70 camcorder … Can’t be more happy . You won’t regret your purchase !! ( Last comment : Tamara does not pay me nor offer me anything to write this !)
