DJI Action 4 vs GoPro Hero12 Black – Which Action Camera Should You Get?
-> Get Paid To Take Photos <-
Was waiting for this!
overheating issue is due to EU regulation with Action 4, my global Japan version is just as long as what you had with GoPro 12 (I can even go 4K60 without a problem), I find that no one is complaining about it in the dji forum at all. all of the OA4 model that is outside of EU doesnt overheat fast like that
Luckily, there is a fix for it. 🙂
DJI overheats as well?? Dang it, I thought they hadn’t copied that flaw from Gopro, which is what I gathered from people around the internet..
@Zyx it does overheat if you use 4K 120fps in the middle of the sunny day no doubt about it
@Better Than a Thousand but that fix haven’t reach these reviewers/influencers at all
lol running after his hat at the end priceless 😝
Kai, nice comparison but one key benefit of the OA4 is the ability to easily use it with external microphones like the DJI lav mics. Would have been nice to mention that since you have used it in some of the shots.
But not without the transmitter correct?
Extra 🤑
Yeah but the way the receiver connects is really silly and fragile. Stick the media mod on the GoPro and it’s so much better for external mic connection
I wonder which one would be better for the Backbone – ribcage mod.
Hi Kai. I’m a big fan. I’m planning on upgrading from a hero 10 (over heating issue and poor battery performance). Having a subscription, I can purchase a hero 12 for $299 or switch to OA4 for $399. I have the gopro media mod. What do u think?
Dang. The in car footage looks way. better on the 12. Wasn’t expecting that.
I so want to want the Sony action cam for the sensor and lens.
Sony has not made another SteadyShot camera since the FDR-X3000, which was released in 2016 and discontinued in 2019.
And it is still the champ when it comes to low light cameras in it’s class.
Why can’t either of these companies develop a camera that has 4k60 and 120? I would be willing to pay a little more for it.
Do you mean 4k120? The GoPro has had it since the 10.
insta360 deserves to be in the competition
Very nicely made video!
Its clear youve made too much effort into making this one! 💯
That horizon lock is nuts.
The reason the dji was never an option was the lack of gps….now GoPro did this…..
First time ever that I heard that GoPro don’t overheat
GoPro is screwed, literary ! 😁
In car shots always look very weird filmed with GoPro, since they tend to steer the image a lot.
Turn the air con on for the windscreen and the Osmo won’t overheat 😊
he’s proving a point 🙂 I’m sure you can also open up the case up put some copper plating in there to spread the heat better to the case
Thanks for the comparison 😊.
some even say DJI action 4 have no overheat issues and last longer than hero 12, think it depends on the use of the camera then ayy
Great job on the comparison. One feature I’m curious about is the UVC output mode on the DJI and whether it still supports stabilization while in that mode. Could be great for IRL streaming with an external encoder. I don’t think the GoPro offers UVC as all.
