Transcripts
all right it's the battle of the action
cams we have the DJI action 4 and the
GoPro hero2 black we're going to see how
these bad boys perform today we're
behind the boat we're going to take them
wake surfing after that we might go do
some skim boarding do some snorkeling
underwater let's see if you guys can
spot a difference on quality and I'm
going to see if I can spot a difference
on performance and we will tell you what
the unanimous decision for the ultimate
winner of the battle of the action cams
after this video so at the end of this
video we're going to reveal which camera
is the DJI action 4 and which camera is
the GoPro Hero 12 but without skipping
forward I want you guys to comment below
which footage you think is the GoPro and
which footage you think is the DJI
action 4 but right right off the bat I
noticed that camera a is a little bit
more bright I could see my face and
details more however cam be had a lot
more color and a little bit more
contrasty feel which almost looked like
it was already color corrected in a way
so I would say camera B looked a little
bit more true to what the day was like
seems to be like a little bit of like a
pinkish red tint on camera a and on
terms of exposure I definitely give it
to camera a but in terms of true color
and what that day looked like I would
say I'd have to give it to camera B and
even though the exposure is a little bit
lower we can always bring that up in
post editing it's going to be a lot more
difficult to change the colors around on
camera a in post editing so both these
cameras shoot 4K 120 and I have to say
they both look buttery smooth I have to
give it a tie on that
one all right you saw it in slow-mo with
the pull now it's time to go POV behind
the boat from my point of view so POV
shots are really important to me on what
camera comes on top because that's when
I get opportunity to really use the
action cam as you can see there's not
too much of an exposure difference on
this shot I think the lighting might
have been better compared to the
previous shots so camera B definitely
isn't struggling with exposure on this
one and in fact I think it might be
excelling on color if you look closely
at my board and the boat you'll kind of
see like a pinkish reddish tint but the
whites and the Grays are coming out much
more true on camera B so keep in mind
these settings are straight out of the
box and set to the exact same settings
especially on field of view so you'll
notice that one camera has a slightly
wider field of view which is exactly
what you want for POV shots um and
they're both set to wide so audio can be
pretty important for people sometimes if
they're vlogging uh especially if the
camera's wet so we wanted to put that to
the
test so while we're here why don't we
test out the audio give her a little
Shake I've been really trying baby
trying to hold back these feelings for
so
long and if you feel like I
do oh come on come
on let's get it
on oh darling sugar Let's Get It On
all right we are at the beach we made it
I'm going to get some skim Clips
POV and see how they compare so we got a
lot better lighting this day with the
skim session and you could tell right
away the colors significantly different
from camera A and B I personally think
that camera B has a lot more vibrant
colors to it uh not as washed out as
camera a uh both look great in this
lighting but I think camera B is still
coming on top all right so let's go back
to the studio reveal which camera is
which footage and there was some things
I liked about both cameras but really
ultimately come to decision which camera
comes on top all right so it's time to
reveal the
footage camera a is the GoPro Hero 12
and Camera B is the DJI action 4 and
clearly on the footage I think out of
box the best most vibrant colors goes to
camera B which is the action 4 because
it has this dedicated temperature sensor
the colors just seem a lot more true to
reality color excelled on the action 4
thanks to that dedicated temperature
sensor I'd say overall quality on both
cameras they're insane I mean the fact
that footage can be this good and we're
having to look at those small fine
details to figure out which camera is
best between the GoPro and the action 4
I mean you're not going to go wrong
getting footage with either one I think
there might be a slight advantage to
GoPro on the exposure side but it's such
a slight difference um I'd much rather
go in and bump up the exposure on the
DJI if I was going to do any post
editing then go in and do a bunch of
color correcting so overall I'd still
much rather have really good true crispy
colors as far as usability goes on these
two cameras at first I was a little
biased towards GoPro because that's what
I was used to using uh but once I got
used to action 4 I realized it was
really easy to go into the settings
change them to what I wanted and ended
up being a little bit easier than the
GoPro and especially the quick capture I
really like that function where as soon
as I push that record button when the
camera was totally off instantly started
recording compared to GoPro had that 3
second delay or so uh another thing too
is I have to give a point to GoPro on
the playback so when we're filming in
slow motion there's nothing better than
getting that sick shot and being able to
play back super buttery slow-mo on the
actual camera and unfortunately on the
DJI it comes through really choppy so
DJI I would love to see a firmware
update where we can actually play back
our 120 4K footage uh in buttery slow-mo
like we can do on the GoPro uh it's
really important to be able to when
you're using ashon cam to be able to
change the mounting systems whether
you're doing POV handheld maybe a pole
right now we have the DJI and the GoPro
on this dual mounting system and maybe
sometimes you want to shoot specifically
for social media and you want to mount
it vertically and with the GoPro we have
your standard kind of classic setup
where you have to unscrew the little
mounting system find your other Mount
and then screw it back on like that but
what I love about the DJI and I think
this is one of the coolest features I
mean they're they both kill it on
quality of footage but to me this is so
important for an action cam to be able
to switch from mount to mount is you
just un
snap and then it just snaps right on
magnetically boom I just changed it in
about three or four seconds so as far as
mounting and usability goes the DJI for
sure gets this one so we are going to
give GoPro a point for the case that it
came with I mean we got the DJI it
didn't come with a case so thankfully
Connor had a extra case that I could put
all of my mounts and batteries and cords
and SD cards and stuff in point to GoPro
for what it comes with when you do
actually purchase the camera okay so
battery life uh compared to the GoPro
standard battery DJI definitely takes
the cake on battery life however when we
compared it to gopro's Enduro battery
the one with a little white ends on it
um I'd say they're pretty much the same
we didn't really go we were so focused
on getting shots we didn't really put
the batteries to like a long lasting
test but I think uh if you have the
Enduro battery for the GoPro then you're
probably just in line with the DJI
action 4 camera as well so apparently
DJI has this deep freeze technology on
their batteries where they last longer
in cold weather I'm really excited to
try it uh right now it's summertime so
we're not going to be snowboarding
anytime soon but maybe we'll do a video
kind of putting that to the test in the
future and like I said I'm not a techy
guy I just want something that I can
take out there conveniently have it
perform in some rad conditions and make
sure that I come out with the best Clips
possible but my camera guy is a total
nerd when it comes to this stuff so I'm
going to let him talk to you about some
of the intricacies of all the specs that
the cameras have to offer all right so
I've been filming with Austin for a
really long time using bunch of
different cameras whether it's my big
camera or these small action cameras uh
so I got really comfortable using a
GoPro but when it comes down to which
camera I think is better I'm giving it
to the DJI it does have the dlog the 10
bit and while GoPro does have a flat
profile and actual log footage something
that's easier to convert to rec 79 I'm
going with DJ on this it had great
dynamic range which means if the Shadows
are a little too dark and the highlights
are a little too bright it's a little
bit easier to recover with the DJI in
post production now the mounting system
while I'm filming him like he said it's
gamechanging I always want to get as
many different angles that I possibly
can sometimes I'll set up mounts on the
boat and then I'll hand it to him for a
mouth Mount and then I also have a pole
so to save that time and just be able to
just click it on and be ready to go
massive point to DJI for that um using
the camera switching between settings he
might go from talking to wanting some
slow-mo Clips uh couple clicks on the
back of this touch screen here and you
know it's locked in and good to go the
GoPro still really good you can still
save custom presets but it's a little
bit clunkier easier to hit the wrong
thing so given the the point there again
to the action 4 and another thing that I
love with the DJI is they make a lot of
great products like these microphones
we're using right now so if you're a
vlogger it's great to be able to use
this microphone and just instantly
connect the moment you hit record it's
recording the audio as well so in terms
of usability and using other things like
microphones DJI has the point there but
I will say with the touchcreen in the
water sometimes you want to switch
settings in the water uh once there were
any water droplets on this camera it was
really hard to change the settings to
unlock the screen to do anything the
GoPro definitely gets a point on in
water being able to change settings uh
yeah it was a lot more reliable while it
was wet the coating on the lenses water
droplets definitely stayed on the DJI a
little bit more uh caught myself having
to either wipe it or try to blow the
water droplets off a lot more now they
that's going to happen with whatever
action camera you have but the uh the
coating that comes with the GoPro lens
is a little bit more water resistant and
kind of beads off just a little bit
easier K in that is a massive deal okay
I mean sometimes you get that shot and
that it's only happens you all day
trying to get a barrel and you finally
get that barrel shot and there's a water
droplet on the r lens it just ruins your
whole video so got to give it to GoPro
on the hydrodynamic coating on the lens
yeah so Austin seems like a really nice
guy but if I miss the shot because
there's a water droplet on that he gets
really mad he starts screaming at me I
don't want it to be my fault I'm just
constantly scared that he's going to get
so mad at me cuz I missed the shot cuz
of one water
droplet so all in all as a tech guy I'm
going with the DJI but GoPro still a
great camera all right thanks Connor uh
actually just for the record I never
yell at
Connor um anyway so get back to which
camera we think is better obviously I
think both cameras have their
advantages uh but the DJI is $100
cheaper keep in mind you're going to
have to buy a case because it didn't
come with one but all that being said
we'll let you decide which camera is
right for you
