Which would you buy? GoPro Hero 11 or DJI Action 3 ?

[FootprintPhoto]

I have 2 gopro hero 10 cameras on a long term (2 years) timelapse for a client and both have suffered from either overheating in the summer or being too cold in the winter and have shut down. Now I need another 2 action cameras for long term timelapse at another site and your video has really got me thinking about the DJI Action 3. I used to have the original Action and it was much better to scroll through the menus whereas GoPro still has a problem with menu scrolling - thanks for this video

10:53 Isn't battery drain on the Gopro due to the ability to pair with a phone even if Gopro is turned off? Is there a similar functionality in Action 3? I find it quite convenient to just set up inactive cameras and then wake them all up and start recording in the app. But yes, it probably drains batteries a little bit.

Further to my comment below, the action 3 may not be what I need after all . . .let me explain, my client has a site in Scotland (I'm in Yorkshire)that needs to be visited every month to check that the GoPro hero 10 is capturing a constant timelapse at one photo per hour for 4-5 weeks at a time. The GoPro is plugged into the mains and Ive removed the batteries as one of the units overheated and the battery swelled meaning it had to be replaced. In the videos Ive watched after watching yours there doesnt seem to be a dedicated timelapse with photos option rather than a video for the Action 3. As you have the camera can you tell me if the A3 has a photo timelapse mode and will it take a shot every hour like the GP 10 ? thanks in anticipation - Nick

Does go pro battery drain more while not using iz because it had voic command option on standby?

[gordon]

On some reviews I find the GP 11 footage slightly better, on the others the OA3 the slight winner. Likely depends on settings used. Here I tended to prefer the OA3 more often. It terms of usability GP definitely a step behind. As you noted, both are good for an action camera so neither is really better, more about what fits your needs the most. Nice review!

[aarillerajoille]

Wow, were Kelvin settings same with both cameras in time lapse sunset clips?

[ManuelGiantin]

On the same resolution the bitrate is the same? wich one have the lowest bitrate? in particular i am interessed for the resolution of 1080p at 30 fps with hevc codec! For who recording a lot is important also to have good file but with small size 😅

[sonyvalencia]

Yes, the DJI looks like when you are looking through your window shield in the car, and Hero 11 looks like when you're actually outside your car everything is vivid and more colorful. (I hate overheating though and mounting so am looking more into action3.

[rickparkinmoto]

I have the GoPro 11. I mainly use it on my motorcycle where it never overheats, but I have felt the heat it generates in other situations.The actual footage is superb, and thankfully I haven't lost any yet. I never leave the battery in the camera as it does seem to discharge quickly even when the camera is turned off. GoPro are falling behind now, and if they don't address these issues then I will definitely look at the DJI next time. I have the DJI Mini 3 Pro, and the footage from that is excellent.

Excellent review (/rant). But yes. I like what yu are saying. However. Wha about ND filters. Did you try any on these two and then compare. DJI does lack some oumpf in the colors (that is the non-pro term of saturation?) DJI looks a bit blunt on your side by side comparison. You can fix these things in the post on the other hand, but why should I? I would choose the Action 3.

[jrbrannan]

At around the 2:53 mark the ground on the A3 is horrible! There are green flares in it and it doesn't look natural. That is what keeps me from getting one. There are too many times that I have seen things that just look off.

Does the DJI overheat in warmer climates, MTB riding? I had a couple Hero 10s but all failed overheating after 15-20 mins.

[andreiungureanu]

I have a GoPro 11, the overheating issue did not come so often but the battery drainage is really a problem. I hope one day I will update to a DJI action. You did not talk about the apps, I am a little disappointed of a GoPro app.

[DavideTravelli]

Video quality seems pretty different. GoPro win. I don’t have a GoPro 11 but I wander if you shoot in 4k if it’s still overheat. The 8:7 aspect ration is great to shoot one clip and being able to use it both as 16:9 and 9:16

[andulucia]

Which one has the better battery life in constant recording mode?

[chandanreshma]

DJI osmo action 3 anyday. Reasons
1. Better battery backup
2. Extra wide view
3. No heating issue
4. color production. Gopro has a orange tint. Dji has cooler tint which is better in my taste.
5. Less price
6. Magnetic mount, easy to fit in vertical mode
7. Smaller size

[eatingsilly]

Can i use both screen for the Action 3 at the same time while recording?

[gbkiller]

I think the overheating issue is mitigated on the Osmo series due to their alloy cases. They dissipate heat way better than the Go Pros with their plastic insulated cases.

[madeiraislander]

I think your footage looks too sharp in both cameras. 3:49 The gopro is limited to 200mbits/s if you install the Gopro Labs firmware.
