Okay guys, which one would YOU choose?! I'm super curious to hear your opinions after seeing the side by side footage from this video and a ton of others that have posted. What's the verdict, GoPro or DJI?

[WheelieGoodTV]

Hi David, firstly I’m a TV cameraman for a living and can’t believe how far these tiny cameras have come. I’m also a motovlogger in my spare time and have had nothing but frustrations with all models of GoPro since the Hero 8. In all honesty I haven’t used the 11 because I’m loathe to spend any more money with GoPro so went for the DJI Action 3 and wireless mic kit mainly because of their drones which I have used for years with my broadcast work and have had zero issues. I’ve only had the setup for a week but it’s a game changer, everything works flawlessly and no freezing/crashing/corrupted files any more like GoPro. I’m delighted I’ve made the switch and look forward to an even better image when they release the 10 bit update. Thanks for a very true comparison and you have a superb channel. Dave.👍🎥

Both cameras are good, but since I live in the Philippines, I choose DJI because I am afraid of the camera overheating. Nice video!

[derekm.]

I have the GoPro 10 (and others)and honestly sick of the problems with footage loss and having to remove the battery. I’m going to try the Action 3.

Good overview. Footage differences mean very little to me when there is no footage to actually work with. Reliability and frozen/corrupted footage on GoPro is a real dealbreaker, especially on once-in-a-lifetime shots. Come home to review the footage to find the camera completely shit the bed. I am going to be selling all of my GoPro stuff and switching to DJI. I just can't work with the buggy GoPro equipment any longer!

As a first time buyer of action camera; this is a tough choose. I love the price of the DJI, but really like the colors on the Hero 11. Maybe I should wait for DJI to update the camera with 10bit color and see if their color compare to Hero 11. In the meantime I will continue to use my iPhone 13 for video.

[PackBackerTom]

Once again, awesome comparison. I see it this way: If you are a pro or a semi-pro filmmaker and you don't care about the budget, go for GoPro. Better video quality, more options for post-production and many third party accessories. But if you are a regular user who just wants to film action shoots and don't want to spend too much money on camera and accessories, go for Osmo Action 3.

A few -ve's about the Gopro that maybe the Dji solves.
1. Needing the media mod for external mikes (I love our dji radio mikes)
2. Snapmount for media mod not available in UK
3. Taking the mounts off to take the media mod off to change battery (or reboot after crash)
The integration of the dji mikes, no media mod, quicker mount are all significant +ve for dji.

David, good video 👍
I went with the DJI Action 3, it arrives this coming week.
I've had a Gopro H8 and have friends with the 9 & 10 models. They all suffer software issues, laggy touchscreen response and general user interface flaws.
We use our cams for Action footage on dirtbikes and you just want a reliable, 'press one button and it works' user experience.
I didn't want to change over to a completely new set of accessories (from the H8) and have the same experience.
The simplicity of operation and quality of footage for far less money (especially in Aussie dollars) was a no brainier for me.
I was able to get the Action 3 & adventure kit for less than a bare Gopro.

Gopro's choice to lock you into their subscription system to get the proper price is also a disincentive for the camera in my opinion.

[mag]

Im a Gopro user. But the magnetic mount of the DJI is super cool. Imagine, put a magnetic mount to your helmet, an other to your bike, one on somewhere else. You can change the view very quick an make a cool video just using one single cam. Thats something i want to have for my gopro

[Tnkcommander]

I much prefer the GoPro (and to be fair, I have a 7, 9 and 11) but something you didn't mention is the higher FOV on the DJI. I noticed it in AuthenTech's review, and it is still noticeable here. Something worth pointing out.

[GoPro]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on HERO11 Black, David! Glad to hear you're stoked on the larger sensor, 10-bit color + detailed image quality. 👏

[Netaction]

You are the only channel mentioning the bad Gopro touch screen handling when the camera is wet. Thank you! There are so many more criteria when the camera is used under rough real world conditions. We need spare parts. We need one touch recording without unintentionally switching to photo, burst, timelaps or anything. We need a camera that keeps its frame rate for the take even if it is turned on facing my dark pants. We need a water resistance that really works. We need a good microphone with windshield directly on the camera, for example in an alternative battery door. The camera must switch on and off really fast. There are so many things that really matter for an action camera. If these criteria weren't important, you could simply go for a regular Vlog camera.

[JosephMyLife]

on my last trip, my 9 and 10 started freezing.. basically unusable now, so I'm fighting with myself on losing image quality to switch to DJI... a very hard choice, I have lost so much footage in different ways over the years using gopro.

[IanTed]

Action 3 and Insta 360 X2, perfect for my moto vlogging, Action 1 never let me down, GoPro too many issues…

[yourcalpal]

As a novice, I want reliability so I went with osmo action 3. I had the hero 7 and it would sometimes turn on by itself, the battery would randomly deplete sometimes, it wouldnt shut off easily, etc. I think they need to rework it instead of adding more pro features

[PlanetDaryl]

Great comparison video once again David... nicely done! I do not own both and still deciding but two other aspects to add to all your points for the Action 3 would be 'fast charging' for both in camera and the 3-batteries case and being able to see what you are recording on the DJI App. DJI Action 3 battery do last a bit longer from what other Youtubers are showing but it's not significant enough of an advantage on that point. If those 2.5 points are important to you, then the Action 3 needs to be considered. Sort of like compromising on video quality for quality of life advantages.

[jfaifer]

One thing I noticed that not a lot of reviewers mention is the communication between Company and Consumer. I'm constantly seeing GoPro comment on their ads, and also on creators reviews which is not a GoPro sponsored video. I have never seen this from DJI.

There's still the GoPro "issues" people have talked about that I haven't seen GoPro comment on, but they still seem to be active in communication. That's something to be said.

The price point, temperature rating and image quality are the kickers for me

[RossHoekman]

I had high hopes when DJI announced the Action 2, so like @A Wilder Ireland mentioned, good to see the OA3 back on track. Both seem pretty great, so it's a tough choice. I agree with others that I'd pick the H11 based on side-by-side footage comparison, but the OA3 still looks pretty good. For me it's about reliability. I'll wait to see about longer term usage reports for the GoPro, as their cameras always seem to be plagued by bugs and "the GoPro reset." I'd be using it mostly for music, and losing footage in the middle of a show... no thanks.

[ftk-alt]

now that dji action 3 has 10 bit and HDR mode, i think it would be fair you do another comparison. cheers!
