Today we're going to do a quick comparison of the DJI Osmo Action vs
the GoPro Hero 7 so you can see the most important information and features so
let's get right into it
alright guys so we're gonna start with video both of these action cameras have
the same sized CMOS sensor for stabilization the Osmo Action uses
Rocksteady and for the GoPro it uses hyper smooth both are electronical or
digital stabilization DJI can do it however up to 4k
whereas gopro can only do it stabilization up to 2.7 k now no matter
what you're shooting 4k to 1080p no action you can only use Rocksteady up to
60 frames per second when these cameras use stabilization they crop in so with
the Osmo action it crops in eighteen percent have 4k 30 frames and then 22
percent at 4k 60 frames per second whereas gopro just crops in 10 percent
no matter what you're shooting here you can see the file length so when you're
shooting video it will record up to a certain amount of time and will stop
recording as you can see here the GoPro lasts much longer both cameras use a F
2.8 lens you can see the field of view here for both cameras now the next
category is huge hyperlapse Osmo action doesn't have it
whereas gopro uses the great time warp mode for color bow shooting normal mode
the Osmo action has decent you like and GoPro has flat mode oh shoot 4k with
pretty much the same frame rates however if you look at the bitrate the Osmo
action is much better so that's gonna give you better video quality now
because they're action cameras they both shoot wide but they also have a lens
correction mode that will straighten everything out like a normal camera the
Osmo action is called deep warp the GoPro is called linear mode Osmo action
you can use it in 4k but linear mode for GoPro you can only use at 2.7 K not 4k
they both have the same slow motion the Osmo action has two internal mics first
two GoPros one mic now to get external audio you're gonna need an adapter it's
not yet available for the Osmo action but it is for the GoPro now HDR mode is
basically non-existent for both of them the GoPro doesn't have it and Osmo
action has it but without Rocksteady mode so it's basically useless the ISOs
are about the same with GoPro going up a little high
now if we look at the shutter speed the Osmo action has a clear advantage going
from one hundred twenty seconds to one eight thousand of a second which lends
itself to much more creative shooting alright guys now we're gonna talk about
photos they both shoot 12 megapixel photos you have the option of JPEG or
Raw however with the GoPro you also have the option of HDR photos whereas Osmo
action doesn't have HDR photos like the video the shutter speed once again goes
to the Osmo Action with a huge advantage however in burst mode GoPro
destroys the Osmo Action taking 30 photos per second versus Osmo Action
only 7 both of them have a timer for 3 seconds or 10 seconds so if you want to
take a group shot or a photo of yourself with someone else and no one's around
they both have it Osmo Action has auto exposure bracketing which is great when
you're shooting in high contrast areas where you can't really get the exposure
GoPro doesn't have that but it still shoots HDR photos which will also help
in these situations now with the time lapse the Osmo Action has improved upon
the GoPro allowing it to go all the way up to 300 second intervals and ISO is
the same when taking photos all right now we're going to talk about important
information we haven't mentioned yet both are water proof that the Osmo
Action can go down one meter farther just with the unit by itself of course
the Osmo Action has that front screen whereas the GoPro doesn't and on the
back both are touch screens but the Osmo
Action is a little bigger at two and a quarter inches both have rechargeable
batteries but the Osmo Action lasts a little longer and is also quicker to
charge very impressive considering it has a
screen on the front and back both have a mount for GoPro accessories neither has
a tripod mount both have Wi-Fi both have voice control so you don't have to use
your hands for basic shooting now you don't have to use an app but both have
an app as an option however you can control the Osmo Action much further
away but the Osmo Action has no live stream whereas GoPro does have live
stream directly to YouTube and Facebook both use micro SD cards up to 256 gigs
size is about the same Osmo actually it's just a tad longer and with an Osmo
Action is just a tad heavier won't be able to feel the difference and as of
this recording Osmo action is $50 cheaper in price
though there is a link on Amazon for $50 cheaper for the GoPro Hero 7 making it
the same price this discount most likely won't last
long all right everyone I hope you found that helpful which do you think has the
edge the Osmo action or the GoPro Hero 7 if you enjoyed this video give it a
thumbs up and I put links to both the action and the hero 7 in the description
below now the GoPro Hero 7 is normally $50 more expensive but if you use the
link below for a limited time it's going to be 349 on Amazon so just wanted to
point that out so if you haven't done so please subscribe to my channel so you
get some hands-on in-depth tutorials and creative tips that I'll be showing with
the DJI Osmo Action and the GoPro Hero 7 so thanks for watching guys and remember
