DJI Osmo Action - 4K Action Cam 12MP Digital Camera with 2 Displays 36ft Underwater Waterproof WiFi HDR Video 145° Angle, Black

This is my second DJI Osmo Action cam. I've been using the DJI Osmo Action since May 2020 to make videos to post on a popular internet website. I shoot in 4K and render the videos at 1080 HD quality. This allows me to zoom in during post production and still maintain the quality of the video. This summer my cameras experienced shut downs due to the camera "overheating". I never experienced this before this summer. Fortunately, I got that worked out with the help of an Amazon Live broadcast. I performed a factory reset of both my DJI Osmo cameras so I could set them up the same and help the video look the same from both cameras. Unfortunately, I did not change the Temperature Threshold setting after I performed the factory reset. If you use the camera outside during hot weather, you may need to change the Temperature Threshold to "HIGH". The default setting is low.Pros: Great PriceGreat video qualityA lot of functionalityand a Great PriceCons: A little bit of a learning curve to get the camera set upBatteries are expensiveInstead of purchasing a battery and charger from DJI, look at buying an Anker PowerCore Speed 20000. DJI battery cost $30 and holds 1300mAh of juice. At $60, the Anker PowerCore has 15 times the power at twice the cost. You can plug the Anker into the charger port on the camera and run until your memory card is full.

Good quality videos for the time I bought it and easy to use. However, a bit too fragile as both lens cover and screen got cracked while in use and I didn't even drop them.

This is a great little camera and it will operate while plugged into a battery Bank I found myself doing that a lot considering that I would do longer videos as well as time lapse videos but other than that all the features work great I didn't have any problems with freezing or anything like what you do with GoPro so I was quite content with my purchase

EDIT: After a few days of use, my new Osmo Action has begun to display an overheating error and shuts down after about 15 mins. of recording. I’m hoping that I just got a defective unit, since I can’t seem to find a lot of information online about this being a regular problem. I have a new one ordered and will be returning this one. I will try to update this review once I’ve tested the replacement. For now, I’m leaving it at 5 stars, but that will certainly change if this problem should also persist with the replacement!My initial impressions: I absolutely love this camera. It’s my first GoPro-style action camera and I don’t know how I could be happier. Battery life is somewhat short, but I bought extra batteries and a charger, a tripod, an accessories kit, a table top tripod, a boom mic, lapel mic, mic adapter, another case, and MORE and I still haven’t spent what I would have on the GoPro 9 camera alone, which I was also considering. Great video quality, features, etc.!! Going to order another one or two soon, hopefully.

Great little action camera. Has UHD and HD video capability. The rocksteady is phenomenal for stabilization. The app works well and not buggy like the gopro. The go pro 9 obviously has better image with its 5k. Unfortunately this camera boasts waterproof capabilities but this is not true. Water got in the first time I tried to use it in the pool. Didn’t even last 2 minutes in the water Thing broke and is no better than a paper weight now. Have sent out to DJI for repair but from what other reviews say your pretty much on your own if its water damage. So in all. Buy only for action sports and keep it away from water.Update. DJI did indeed come through and sent me a brand new camera. It took about 10 days for me to send it out and be reviewed and the new camera delivered. Super happy about it but I am really scared about putting it in water again so I probably won’t.

Really good value for money. Considering the age of the product and the features, it holds up in 2021. DJI is well known for their drones and cams on those drones. This does not disappoint. It is quick to startup, easy to understand and setup and the large screen is clear and great to view. The front facing screen is even better! The new firmware update is about 40mb and adds great additional features. The DJI Mimo app is also easy to use and connect the Osmo Action. I have tested with some outdoor activities and even astrophotography. The ulanzi mini tripod is a great purchase for this device.The device itself comes with a USB-A to USB-C cable, 2x adhesive mounts, screw, mounting bracket, battery, battery case, manual and camera.Don't be scared to try this over the GoPro. I would say it compares and is better than the H7 & H8. I also noted it does not get as hot compared to the GoPros.

I've owned two much more expensive GoPros, the last being a Hero 7 Black. The battery lasts easily twice as long as the GoPro, and the image quality is outstanding. The IS is so good, video from a dirt bike in extremely rough terrain looks like it was shot from a drone, hovering through the woods. This is a really nice action camera with a great price point. My only gripe is a noticeable transition when reviewing videos when it starts a new file. The file size is capped around 4.7 gigs *I think. I'd prefer to have the entire length of video on one larger file, and I haven't figured out how to change this setting. I also shoot video with a Canon, and there is no noticeable glitch between the two (or more) files for longer videos, but there is a slight noticeable glitch when using files from the DJI. The wind noise is pretty bad, but I was able to easily fabricate using soft foam and hot glue a wind sock that works great.
