![]() I was a bit worried if the magnetic quick release would really keep the camera in place, but it did (otherwise I wouldn’t be able to show you any footage of the DJI in this article…). The DJI magnetic quick release – very useful! Image credit: CineDĪ special mention goes to the DJI magnetic quick release mechanism. However, make sure to have the exposure compensation set to -0.3 stops otherwise you risk burnt highlights on your face as the DJI auto exposure is a bit too hot for my taste. Still, when comparing both cameras in terms of v-logging, the DJI Action 3 is the clear winner, as the audio is overall clearer. Of course, they have their limits, for example when it’s very windy, but have a look at the video above to judge for yourself. ![]() This helps massively to improve the audio, and I have to admit that the audio coming from both of these cameras is very usable. In the past, audio quality was typically the Achilles’ heel of all action cams, especially back in the day, when an additional waterproof enclosure was needed.įast forward to today, neither one of these cameras needs an enclosure unless you go deeper than 16m underwater with the DJI Action 3 or deeper than 10 meters with the HERO11. Furthermore, image stabilization and solid auto exposure are needed as well. When looking for a camera to use for v-logging, good audio quality is essential. Video-logging: GoPro HERO11 vs DJI Osmo Action 3 Snorkeling – using mostly a selfie stick and static placement.Windsurfing – again using the chesty plus mounting the cams on the boom of the sail.Mountainbiking – using my chest harness (the chesty) and different other mount options.V-logging – testing mostly the audio capabilities (a traditional Achilles’ heel of all action cams).In case you are looking to invest in one of these cameras, my goal is to help you make a better decision by demonstrating the main differences between the HERO11 and Action 3 in the following use cases: Why manufacturers wait for extensive user feedback after releasing a new product to implement firmware updates instead of releasing a fully functioning product in the first place is beyond me, but that is something I will have to learn to live with. overall better image quality for video (if you don’t use D-Cinelike)Īs much as we look forward to updates, they don’t necessarily make my job as a camera tester any easier.adds RockSteady+ (which crops more into the image).adds HDR recording (only up to 4K30), no D-Cinelike 10bit possible.adds 10 Bit video recording when using D-Cinelike.So, I decided to test them both thoroughly by using them in different scenarios and over a longer period of time to really test how far I can go.Īs it ever so often happens, DJI released a new firmware (V) for the Action 3, just as I was about to finish the video and article. Image credit: CineDĪs technology proceeds, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to clearly distinguish any major differences in feature set or image quality when looking at the DJI Osmo Action 3 and the GoPro HERO11. The DJI Osmo Action 3 and GoPro HERO11 – Slightly used after two months.
