what's happening everyone my name is Alex and welcome back so the DJI osmo action 3 was released
about four months ago and at the time it was released I've actually done a camera comparison
with my GoPro 11. I will actually leave a link to that in the video's description or the top right
corner now about a month ago the action 3 also got a pretty massive update that improved a bunch of
things and also added a bunch of new features so for example now we get 4k HDR videos something
that we don't have with the GoPro 11 just to give you an example we have OTG support so you can plug
in the camera to an Android device and you can move the files that way and a bunch of other new
things so we'll cover some of those new things that were added so I figured it would be a good
time to make a new video for this camera kind of like a review because I haven't done one back when
the camera was released and maybe that was a good thing because we get all these new features now
so we're gonna split this video into three sections maybe four so the first section
will have to do the internal microphone now I am recording with the action 3 right now but
I do have an external microphone connected to it so I'm using the DJI microphone connected to the
camera basically so the sound will probably be better than the internal microphone but we'll
see how that is in a bit the second section will have to do the video stabilization so
now we actually get better video stabilization I believe it's called Rocksteady plus we'll see how
that works the third section will have to do the video quality so I'm going to show you different
resolutions in different settings so you can see how the video quality has improved you know that
being said let's remove the wireless microphone and let's do a quick test so you can see how the
internal microphone in this action camera picks up the sound alright so this is our first test
for the internal microphone as you can see I've removed that wireless microphone and we are using
the internal microphone inside the osmo action 3. I also have the wind noise reduction set to on
next test I'm gonna turn that off so you can see how the recording sound if you have that on or off
it is a bit windy today but not that bad so let me turn that off and see how the sound gets recorded
that way alright so I am in the exact same spot but I did turn off the wind noise reduction we
also have some dogs barking somewhere around there so you may hear that as well as I said
it's not that wind it's slightly windy so you may hear that window in the recording as well so this
is how the internal microphone inside the osmo action 3 would capture sound so that's how the
internal microphone on the osmo action 3 would pick up sound if you are Outdoors basically now
I'm back with the wireless microphone all right next we're gonna move on and check out a couple
of recordings so you can see how that rock steady plus some video stabilization works so
let's check those out all right and we're moving on to our first test for video stabilization for
this recording I'm doing 4K at 60 frames per second and I have the level of stabilization
set to Rock Steady as you can see for yourself I am currently walking but we're gonna start running
so let's see how this works if running we'll turn around and we'll go towards my bicycle
I will stop somewhere around here for our next test we're gonna switch to rock steady plus and
see how that one works compared to Rocksteady okay and we are moving on to our second test so
I'm still recording in 4k at 60 frames per second but the video stabilization level is set to rock
steady plus and I did notice that it's zoomed in a bit so it cropped a bit from the frame that's
how it's Gonna Keep the video even steadier I am walking right now we're gonna start running
and I'll do the same like in the previous clip and run towards my bicycle and we'll stop somewhere
around them here so this is how the Rocksteady plus would work when compared them to Rocksteady
okay we are moving on to our next stabilization test for this I'm doing 4K at 30 frames per second
and using the Rock Steady level of stabilization I'm gonna ride I'm not gonna do anything too crazy
we'll basically go this way we'll go back left we'll go this way back left again and right again
and we'll turn around and we'll start from the exact same spot but you lose Rock Steady Plus
for our next test all right I'm in the exact same spot where I was before I'm still doing 4K at 30
frames per second but I have the stabilization level set to rock steady plus so of course the
video is a bit more cropped in so we'll start doing the exact same thing that I was doing before
it's all turned right we'll go back left right again I can do too crazy
things because I don't wanna fall but a good idea so go this way left again and we'll stop somewhere
around here now of course I haven't seen the footage on the computer so I'm gonna let you
guys decide if Rocksteady plus is an improvement compared to rock steady and another quick example
of the Rocksteady plus some stabilization so I'm currently doing 4K at 60 frames per second
I have the field of view set to ultra wide and we have some uneven terrain let's call it um that so
I'm just going to show you how this looks it is quite bumpy as you can see for yourself
I'm sure my bicycle is not enjoying this
so yeah Rocksteady plus 4K at 60 frames per second
so as you've seen for yourself The Rock Steady plus video stabilization does make
a difference in some situations of course not in all situations but if you're doing some crazier
things and you don't mind that extra crop it does make a difference next we're gonna move
on and check out some more recordings that I've done at different resolutions and in
different settings so you can see how the video quality is so let's check those out
and we're moving on to our next recording for this recording we are doing 4K at 60 frames
per second we also have the Rock Steady plasma stabilization enabled and we also have the field
of view set to ultra wide so this is the widest that you can basically go with this action camera
I'm gonna stop here we'll pan left so kind of towards the Sun and also the castle
so of course a bit more of a challenging situation that run because we do have the Sun
so this is how recording in 4k at 60 frames per second would look like another big change from
that update that we got was the HDR video so now I'm recording in the regular mode I just want to
show you how this looks so we'll go this way for a bit I'm turning the camera around so we have some
darker spots around here so for example here and around here just you can see the difference and
next I'm going to try to record the exact same thing but with the HDR mode turned on all right
so now I've switched to HDR video I mean about the same spot as I was before and we're gonna do the
exact same thing that I've done before so Walk This Way We are gonna turn the camera this way
and then we'll go this way once again just so you can see the difference between the
regular video mode and the HDR video model we now have um available on the osmo action tree
4K 30 Rock Steady HDR video
after the last update we also get 10 bit video recording so this is for those of you that like
color grading personally I'm not into that and this is just a quick example so you can see how
that would look on an unedited basically just um straight out of the camera and I'm
recording in 4k at 60 frames per second and I have the video stabilization set to Rocksteady
so yeah these are some of the changes that we got for the DJI osmo action today about four months
after it was released so it's definitely nice to see a camera improving with time because a
lot of other cameras don't get any softer updates and stuff like that over time so it's nice to see
a camera that gets some improvements over time I also want to mention the camera hasn't turned
off for the entire duration of this video and it is fairly hot out today well not crazy hot
but with a GoPro a GoPro would overheat after um all this time on recording and I'm also using the
same battery pack as um the one that I started even though I do have three other ones with me
alright guys hopefully enjoyed this video thanks for watching and I'll see you guys in the next one
