Which action camera did you go for and why???

[courtneyduren]

Dji also has the horizon lock feature and horizon balance. I think you maybe rushed through this comparison and favored GoPro a little. I switched from GoPro to dji when the first action came out, much better app, way easier user interface, and dji always catches up with software updates. GoPro is what it is the software updates are not great if any. Also you forgot to mention one of the biggest issues. GoPro still over heats and dji fixed that issue and still charges way less. Seems like a easy pick for me.

I am definitely gonna go for DJI! 18 minutes to 80% fast charge and the battery case features are the biggest reasons. 🥳

[ChrisRidesHisBike]

I like the color on the DJI more, but the sharpness and contrast in the image look better on the GoPro. It has way more detail on the ground at the skatepark.

[GoPro]

Thank you for putting us to the test, Matti! We're stoked you're stoked on Horizon Lock 🙌

[Danger_mouse]

3:19 Physical size is important to me on my dirt bike. We ride hard enduro and I mount the cam under the peak of my helmet above the goggles.
Smaller is better 👌
It's also important to me that the DJI isn't going to need the battery pulled out to hard reset the camera like every other GoPro we've had.
Awesome to see the company listened to the feedback and returned to the Action 1 Form factor.
Bye bye Gopro, hello DJI for me 👍

For the DJI front screen, you can change the view mode to get the whole image rather than just central part, it's in the setting. Also, the front screen is touchable for DJI, which is pretty useful in some scenario. The DJI still have the over-sharpen problem in this unit, hope they can fix it by firmware update later as well as the 10 bit sampling capability.

You are spot on about the details, if you look at the rollerblade b-roll between the action and the gopro, just look at the concrete surface, the gopro has a lot of details on the ground, and the action has almost nothing, just look at the ramp, on the action it just looks plain and the gopro has more details so you can see the cracks and the aging on the ramp.. huge difference, so based on this review, gopro is a 100% winner, greetings from Norway btw :D

I have a GoPro right now and my next camera will definitely be a DJI. The GoPro is just not reliable enough for me. I had too many corrupted SD Cards and lost or damaged files on it. Of course I format the SD Cards only in the GoPro itself and I only use the recommended cards for it. However, I have at least one corrupted file after every shoot. Last time I was on a 6-week/2500 miles Bikepacking trip where I almost lost a full week of footage... I also use a lot of DJI equipment or other cameras (Sony, Nikon, etc) and I may had one damaged SD card in my whole life so far on other devices. But with GoPros I'm struggeling almost every week with such issues.

I'm a gopro user for action cams but I think DJI is doing a fantastic job 👏🏻

[brettyg]

I absolutely love the magnetic mount of DJI, I wish GoPro would embrace this too

[SStrategicDefense]

GoPro may look better.. problem is that they never stay on. I've had 3 Hero 9s and 2 Hero 10s and they mysteriously just shut off even with full batteries. Meanwhile my Osmo Action 1s run without issue.

So what's the better quality image?? The one that the camera actually records.

[ParavuthTT]

I think the color out from the DJI OSMO is more natural. The GOPRO 11 looks too flat / less saturated. I love the OSMO better.Thanks for the comparison video.

[BestCutFilmsVancouver]

Excited for the Action 3! I've been using the Action 1 for years now and is still the camera I bring with me everywhere, for travel or filming behind the scenes of my work. Now the Action 3 is packed with way more useful features, and for the price, it's an easy choice for me. Action 3 for the W!

[flajflaj]

Well, actualy, you can rotate the OA3 by 360 with horizon lock, however you need to set the resolution to 2, 7K.

[tomorrowmonday]

In osmo action you can change the setting to show the full image in front screen

[AnthonyGugliotta]

The GoPro 11 with full 360 horizon levelling honestly makes it worth upgrading over any other action camera. The Max Lens is a bit annoying to keep on the GoPro 9/10.

[stefpix]

DJI has longer battery life, better water resistance to 16 meters, much faster startup time from sleep mode, the preset quick switch button. I pre ordered it, as those are all great factors in the ocean. I have the Hero 10, I like its image quality better than the DJI Action 2, which I also have. But I don’t see enough advantages for me in the Hero 11 over the 10, but the DJI OA3 has some significant usability improvements, especially or use in the water without a case.

[johnpower]

Good comparison I was stuck, I just ordered DJI, gopro makes you purchase a plan with a never ending annual fee of $49 to get a decent price, this osmo action 3 has most of the bases covered with no annual fees

[diegovalentino]

Great comparison man! If could, I would buy both!
Just a couple of things you missed:
- Battery comparison. The DJI Osmo beats the gopro like with 20% extra battery time in all modes.
- Front screen comparisson: DJI Osmo is touch screen, so it's a great adition in certain scenarios.
