Action 4 has to be the finest action cam out. Love that it streams while recordng to your phone. Something GoPro stopped after the 8.

Thank you, perfect video. Can I ask you? Time 8:40 Noise reduction. What does it mean this function?

Thank you so much for sharing this necessary information about Dji Osmo action 4 💞

1:24 Actually like the old style magnetic mount as they snap on faster and detach easier. Yes they are a bit wobbly…

Another informative video from you. Simple and well put together. Got the tips across well in a relaxed manner. Thank You. 👍

Dude you are on it! I am getting a Action camera 4 to mount on my e-bike this friday

[RobinHoller]

Very nice tips! I was unsure whether I should watch yet another OA4 video explaining how to set resolution, framerate and other basic stuff ... because it's rather self-explanatory. But instead this turned out to be quite useful. I tend to never read manuals, so I would have missed changing the screen off time while recording ... Thanks!

Gracias a tu video ahora se como activar el modo de poca luminocidad, buen video y con grandes tips!

[StarWarsJay]

Great tips. Cheers mate. Can you still come t the mic receiver with a cage on (or the silicone case)?

[KevinHall-xtlo]

Good and helpful video Shawn. Just taken delivery of mine to upgrade from the OA3. Is just a shame that the ND lens screw mount does not allow the ones i had for the OA3 to be used. Will need to buy a full replacement set! Both cameras look the same except for the lens filter screw size. A very marginal difference. Hadn't picked that up before.

Very very helpful Sean. Thankyou very much. I've been sitting on the fence as to whether to get the OA4 or wait for GP12 to come out.

[KevinByrne-lt]

Absolutely brilliant, what a fantastic little camera, I'm gonna get one now. Thanks, Kev.

Late to the party. GoPro's kinda ruined the action camera thing for me. Not recording, overheating and sometimes just not working at all. I'm back on the wagon with the Osmo action 4. These videos are a huge help. Thank you.

Does it have anti shake in video or picture mode ?
Or video stabilization ?

[DonJoyce]

Great tips, Shawn! I recently bought an Action 3 (which probably triggered the Action 4 release!) but many of these tips still apply!

[TenaliRams]

very good, all important tips are explained very well. Good shout out... for new users like me.

[Tenalirama]

Thank you so much for this Video. I am having Osmo action 1 and now using Osmo action 4

Wonderful tutorial, thank you for sharing your expertise

I just want to add that nothing is "water proof" they are water RESISTANT up to 60ft (18m) only if the lens cap is on tight and battery door shut properly. any deeper you need the dive case that is good for 197ft (60m) if I remember the numbers correct. Main point is some people get confused due to marketing saying water proof or water resistant and not making a standard saying and causing people to damage equipment due to negligence of actual manual reading for products. Over all great review and enjoy the videos, they are super helpful.
