GoPro Hero 12 vs DJI Osmo Action 4 - OverCast Daylight Tests

I test the GoPro Hero 12 vs DJI Osmo Action 4 during the day to see the difference. It's so hard to choose between them, maybe you guys can...

I really like the way you stayed unbiased and I like your format. Thanks for the video.

The story is always the main character. Both cameras have their strengths. I like the Dji Action 4's image more than the GoPro, but it's about what you like. To be honest, the GoPro Hero 12 looks good. But the colors are more correct on action 4. I think many had hoped for more when it comes to hero 12. But some improvements are better than none, GoPro did a good job. But if I could only choose one, the choice would have fallen on Dji

[Viosified]

Both cameras are good. However, the audio sounds louder on OA4 and FOV seems a bit wider as well than GPH12. GPH12 image is good but OA4 image looks more "real" (natural). I guess it boils down to reliability, usability/ease-of-use, and personal preference at the end of the day.

Great Video! I will use an action cam for snowboarding and probably diving (not too deep). Anyone an idea which one I should buy?

[WoodooAlien]

Does OA4 has option to record videos with turned off screens and all lights/leds? Sometimes don't want questions why i am recording if i stopped somewhere with camera on scooter and need to reply ruining recorded audio with it

[neilhenshall]

Like the HDR in bright light on the GoPo very much but i tend to feel that the Action 4 is by far a more rounded user friendly action camera that is equal if not better than the GoPo for the every day person that uses one of these type cameras. The DGI just gives great quality and superior reliability in a user friendly package that has been designed for Mr or Miss Normal to use . Fantastic video presentation yet again, thank you

[Timw]

Very well made comparison thank you. Does the DJI have the ability to adjust the exposure compensation in video and stills? Some of the sky footage looked a little overexposed so i thought having this feature would be useful. I'm working my way through all your comparison videos trying to decide if one of these will work for me. Best wishes.

good evening, please tell me what kind of computer or laptop you can buy to mount a video shot on a Gopro camera 12, I will use frames 5.3K and 4K 60 frames. I have a Huawei laptop and it refuses to play footage from Goupro 12, I do not know what to do. Thank you very much...

[Usiakewycz]

well, obviously Action 4 takes adventage on every single shot. It's just physics - bigger sensor don't lie. More natural dynamic range, and looks like there is more flexibility on grading later. Sometimes gopro HDR doing some great job, but - there is no HDR in higher fragmrates than 25, am I right? Also, Gopro looks more blurry and soft like after some processing, and Action is more raw. I would like to see some testing on editing log footage, and how far they can be pushed. On highlights recovery etc.

[tukkit]

Thank you for your comparision. It’s gonna help me a lot to choose between OA4 and GP12. How was the battery when you were using HDR mode on GP12??

[babenkoff]

Your front lenses on both cameras were too durty. The footage is ruined. Do not touch lenses with the fingers.

[RH_]

Thanks for another great review! As a newbie to action cameras, which one would be the best for MTB and will give you the best still pictures or photos?

[kamilhusna]

Delivered as always. Which camera represents your face better?
Its either the oa4 squeezed your face thinner & longer. Or gopro compressed your face rounder.

[EONE]

Aloha~anyone can suggest best wireless and wired mic for gp12...I have rode wireless latest and dji mic2...thanks.

[hellounclesim]

Both look great! I think DJI still isn't as good as GoPro when there is a lot of camera movement. GoPro 11 and 12 may or may not freeze, depending on who you ask. I've not heard anything about the OA3 and OA4 freezing up, so I switched to DJI (from GoPro HB 7). It's so reliable, it's almost boring now!

Cześć, nie wiem czy pisać po polsku, czy po angielsku? :) Pytanie z czapy, gdzie właściwie mieszkasz? Jakoś tak pusto wszędzie, bez ludzi. Dzięki za nagranie, właśnie przymierzam się do kupna gopro do nagrań. Ale waham się, zazwyczaj będę nagrywać w ciemnym niedoświetlony pokoju, jakieś moje akcje "simracing'gowe". Dzięki za te testy, jeszcze tylko sprawdzę gorpo max recenzje i chyba zdecyduje się na 12tkę. Miłego dnia!

[timmark]

Action 4 is better. GoPro seems to be a bit soft and had more distortion. My monitor is calibrated. Have a strange feeling you mixed up the footage. Action 4 looks more vivid than GoPro 12 except in the shot where the little girl ran

[dishxpert]

which Polish city is this? was looking to see if it was warsawza. Action 4 leads the GP in most tests except the 8:7 and 240fps slo-mo

[NiteshSharma-djkr]

Thanks for the comparison

Without any doubt i am going for the Action 4. It has better exposed scenes throughout and has better natural color profile than the GoPro. It's wider than the GoPro, it's better and doesn't have that fisheye effect like GoPro

It performs better in low light too due to bigger sensor size. It has way better battery backup than GoPro. It has better software experience.way Faster charging speed than GoPro and still is cheaper.

Undoubtedly the best value for money❤

Have you done a video on Hyperlapse and Timelapse. I have had a Action 3 since March and they are the two things i haven't really got to grips with. I like your videos, they are easy to understand and straight to the point. Are there any tips you can give me please.
