I've got the Hero10 and the Osmo Action 3.

Hero10
— Overheats all the time, even at room temperature (24-25c)
— Literally freezes to a degree that you need to take out the battery to reset
— Has some very annoying USB issues when connected to the MediaMod
— Literally loses files if you get unlucky with freezing
— Picture quality and HDR was better before the recent DJI Action 3 update

Action 3
— Never ever overheats, even in way worse conditions. If it does, it's probably a faulty unit
— Has a lot more resolution / frame rate combos than the GoPro's
— The menus are so much quicker, intuitive, and just work without lag
— The mount is so much easier to work with than GoPro's
— Picture quality was noticeably worse before the latest update, but it's great now
— Don't even get me started on usability of USB-C mics, or even the DJI Mic (wireless)
— Vastly superior battery life

From where I'm standing, it's really weird that no really big channel made a follow-up since the update. This does feel like they're on the GoPro payroll.

Since the update, this isn't even a question for me to be honest.

Either you want a camera that works in any environment and (since the update) offers some banger picture quality.

Or you want a camera that works in very specific scenarios, for short videos, with limited resolutions and frame rates, all while clunky/slow menus and always at risk of losing videos, freezing or overheating.

DJI takes the cake here and the next generations of the DJI Action cameras will (in my opinion) force GoPro to get a grip, fix and innovate, or die.

Great review as always.

You make great points on 'who you can trust' when it comes to reviews. Lots of reviewers out there will post a review with lack of details, bias towards the product, 'reviewing' without even using the product etc etc.

The difference with your reviews in my opinion is that you have no bias, you thoroughly test before reviewing and you go into depth with the reviews without alienating even 'newbie' viewers which has to be commended.

I am testing both cameras (Hero 11 and Action3) and you absolutely nailed all the points on this, including the image quality. I am going to return on. The Hero 11 seems to have been image quality at least close up, but the Action 3 is so much nice to use and handle, and quality is still good. I just updated to the new build and will retest.

Dropped my action 3 (well accidentally flicked it out of my motorcycle pannier) approximately 3 weeks to a month ago, directly on to concrete from about 1.5m in hight.
As you look at the camera lens toward you, the protective lens cover with the rubber surround got dented on the top right hand corner, looks a bit ugly but the camera has not missed a beat, I was amazed how sturdy this camera is as you eluded to in your comments, Im very pleased with my action 3, it is my first action camera, I have upgraded the firm ware but not trialed it yet.
Great review, thanks.

I’m no expert on photography but I really liked the mounting of this camera. I used it first time on my MTB altered some settings and think it came out pretty good.

[THELONETRAVELER]

Very good and detailed review. Can you do the same with Insta 360 X3 ?

[aladinbenz]

Great job bro i would like to know the ND filter that you used are of the DJI osmo action 1 ? it work in osmo 3

Супер преглед, абониран.
Доколкото разбирам, камерата е значително подобрена с пускането на нова версия на фърмуера. Чакам да се появи в Dji Sofia Store.
Приятен ден!

Can you use the action 2 head gear for the action 3?

[aaronmelson]

I am still testing my action 3. I never owned the hero 11 but I have had 4 other gopro over the years. 5 black, 7 black, 8 black and 10. Had MAJOR issues with the 5, 7 and 8 were reliable but I didn't use them all the time and the 10 was the first action camera that I used as a vlogging camera and I had MAJOR overheating issues. So far in testing the action 3, I have gotten about 35 minutes recording 4k 120 before it stopped recording. The camera never shut off. Just stopped recording. When I filmed in 4k 30 in more cooler temps (40 degrees F) I have gotten over 80 minutes of record time. Both times were far better than the gopro 10 I had no matter the temp. So far I am very happy with my Action 3. I got the adventure combo as well as the DJI Mic. Awesome setup.

Hey, Great video. Good insight on the instant "reviews" around release date. I had a followup on your side-by-side with GoPro 11- at timestamp 9:34 you showed a zoomed in from video at 120 FPS. Could you show the same zoomed in comparison (outdoor, full sun / shaded) at lower FPS - like 60 and 24 even? I can see that the GoPro is superior here (this is very helpful, no-one has posted anything like this). But I am curious if it also carries into different frame rates. Thanks!

Think I'll get one of these I also have a DGI OM 5, thanks for your review. I like to stick to same brands when it comes to content creation 📸

It has been really confusing few months with some reviews being on the side of GoPro, and others on the DJI side. In the reviews Hero 11 is almost always the winner when he is compared to the Osmo Action 3. But watching some Youtubers using Hero 11 for vlogs and some daily videos a lot of them complain about overheating, turning off, bugs, freezing etc etc. Also there is few videos complaining how Osmo Action 3 overheats more than Hero 11, and even more videos praising both cameras how good they are with overheating and how long can they record with zero problems. I was really happy to see that DJI went back to the original Action look, and Osmo Action 3 ticks really almost every box in my wishlist of what I want in action camera. Focus/sharpness is the last thing that I am missing. I was really satisfied with DJI Osmo Action 1 image and hoped that Action 3 will be just a little bit better. I am still hoping DJI will either fix this problem by replacing possibly faulty cameras or at least make a statement that camera is supposed to be like that and that is what you get. It is really weird because there are some videos taken with Osmo Action 3 with a later production date and people are in focus and picture is sharper.

I just ordered my osmo action 3 advance.. It's my thirst action camera let's hope it works 100%

I'm still looking into whether to buy this or not. Image quality is the most important thing to me so it's a bit of a worry that you say the quality isn't as good as the GoPro 11. I'm new to action cameras and I'm already making major sacrifices in what I'll accept compared to what I'm used to, which is FF and APS-C. I'm so impressed by many features of the latest action cameras though, I'm anxious to get my hands on one. It would be nice to know what sort of sharpening and noise reduction is done in camera, and if you cannot set that in D-Cine profile, they may introduce that option in later firmware (as they did on the Mini 3 Pro drone). Thanks for the review!

I want to use this to record my daughters volleyball games and my GoPro tends to overheat to the point between sets i have to swap battery’s and blow on the can to cool it as much as i can. I tend to shoot wide or ultra wide depending on the camera angel i am forced in to. And have had to shoot in 2.4K 60 to get thru a 3 set match. With that in mind does this sound like the possible focus issue would be an issue for my use case?

[ovegustafsson]

Hello, I live in Thailand and have used a GoPro 7 on my motorbike trips there. But finally just have to give up, mainly because the overheating problems. And as I hear, the same problems still exist on the GP 11. So now I have an OSMO 3, and love it. Can drive all day with screen on, never an issue about overheating. But what I do not understand, how can a fix focus lens be in focus from 30 cm. to infinity? In my mind, adjusting the lens, will it help about the focus issue? From closeup to infinity? Anyway, my knowledge in camera optic theories is a bit limited.
I remember had some Kodac Instamatic in the early 80´s with fix focus lens, and it was never in

Здравей Михаил!Купих си ОА3 от първите бройки на пазара.Последните две видеа в канала ми са заснети с камерата и не мога да преценя да ли съм от "късметлиите".Според хора гледали видеата, кадрите са супер.Кои според теб са най-добрите настройки за заснемане на видео съдържание, имайки предвид, че ползвам камерата предимно статична на тринога.Благодаря!

[videoholics]

Curious, what kind of camera did you use to record this? I notice when you do a close-up of the Action 3, you go out of focus!

I purchased my A3 from B&H in downtown Manhattan manufacturing 9/22...focus was soft, not horrible...updated to the newest firmware and didn't really notice a meaningful difference. Tried calling DJI to open up a ticket but 4 phone calls and two emails later they have yet to open a ticket...this was 5 days ago...today to recorded a time lapse of my last ride with the 9/22 to return it to B&H...asked them to check inventory for an 11/22 manufacturing date A3 and less than five minutes later the sales person returned with one! Haven't taken it out for a test run but I'm optimistic.
