GoPro Hero 11 vs DJI Action 3 - A Review for Motorcyclists

Can you please do a GP12 & Action 4 review for motorcycles?

I am planning to buy a second-hand Dji Osmo Action 3 Adventure Combo tomorrow. Any tips on how to check or inspect it? This would be my first camera.

The owner is selling it for PHP 16,000. The current brand-new price is PHP 23,190 here in the Philippines.

Thank you!

External Mic support for moto vlogging in DJi without DJI expensive wireless mic... need help

Awesome video! Is the microphone adapter you used compatible with GoPro hero 10?

It's more like Iphone🍎vs Android 📱

I found my Hero 11 overheated outside and 62 degrees. I never had an overheating issue with older GoPros. Very disappointing.

Thank you so much for your efforts

So about the Action 3 mic adapter, none of those with an extra usb c input works (that enables recharging while recording)? Only the one with USB-C to 3.5mm? Also did anyone noticed that the battery supply for this camera is non-existent right now? I can't find where to buy extra batteries. So weird.

I ride a KTM 350 EXC-F for street/technical trails and a KTM 1090 R for pavement/easier trails, so thank you for this video! I will NEVER buy another GoPro camera again after all the problems experienced with them. I prefer a top helmet mount, NOT the style you are using. Any suggestions or links you can share on a stable top mount for the Action 3 camera? Thanks!

the amount of effort you put into making this video deserves a sub!!! sheesh bro!

Mount mine Hero 7 mostly on handlebars keeping charge up with USB cable coming off Royal Enfield accessory plug or when helmet mounted off Battery Tender plug so battery life is never a problem. My concern is how long can I record on one Micro SD card, and no one ever researches that. 1080 30fps Protune off (but audio sucks) I get over 7 hours of recording time on my 128GB Micro SD card. Protune on Microphone Setting on Wind or Stero audio is better but recording drops to 5 hours. The Action 3 can take a 256GB Micro SD card and would like to know if I can get over 5 hours at 2.7K 60fps? Recently heard there is an Action 4 coming out and would love to know the specs on that. I am divorcing my Hero 7 for the reasons you mentioned, it overheats and shuts off and some time I get a love note saying it is repairing video which is code for, it just lost my video. Great video. Appreciate the help.

The overheating is so weird. What is there in Hero 11, that consume so much heat, that is has to turn off ?.

I ride in sacramento, so the heat will be 90ish degrees or more. I hope the Action 3 can withstand some 15 minute recording sessions...

Well done, great video. You covered the important things and didn't try to hide the GoPro's flaws.
With media mod on, I get 15 or 23 minutes filming from one battery on my hero 10 shooting at 5.7k or 4k 60fps, yes pathetic isn't it lol
It does, however, have excellent video quality, which to be honest, is it's only plus over a dji or inta rs, otherwise it is an unreliable, expensive, frustrating piece of ....
Also, to get reliable audio required using a rode wireless go 2 receiver on the gopro and transmitter in my helmet.
Add that to your weight and cost list lol 😢

Thanks for such detailed comparison!
What’s the settings was on Action 3 camera? I’m talking about possibility to lover the sound as low as -12db. I’m in doubts about mic for action 3 😢

Hi. Do you have a hard time pressing the record button on the OA3 with gloves on?

MAYBE a lighter bike could help. On the open road, at a higher speed could give different wind noise.

i never buy gopro again. since i use dji i feel gopro is a scam for the price the built quality is nowhere always overheat....in total gopro ios way way behind the dji.

For someone new would you recommend the action 3 , hero 10 or hero 9?

I found the Action 3's audio quality with an external microphone terrible, to be honest. I could use an external audio recorder to get decent audio, but that would mean more device to manage and charge, plus more work to synchronize stuff during editing.

Personally, I would argue the GoPro Hero 9 is still more than good enough for most motorcyclists. It has all the essentials (and then some), works reliably, and gets out of your way.

Could you make a new video comparison to include the new dji 10bit and hdr capability!

Thanks for the scoop on the Boya BY-K4, I've also heard that works.
The link in the description goes to the male K1.

Great job on the overview and comparisons. Lots of work with editing and giving us some great info.

I probably missed it, but whereabouts was this filmed? Looks very midwesty, like IL or MO...?

Finally someone👏. Thanks man.

Thanks..

Well done on the comparison.

I know your main focus here was for motorcycle riders, but which one of these cameras would you recommend for a security guard?

your stop motion unboxing animation is epic to the core

Liked and subscribed cause stop-motion unboxing. Loved it!! (Plus biker/videographer)

The GoPro Quik app sucks because it forces you to save all the big video files to your phone's Internal HDD on your phone rather than have an option to save it to the External SD Card. This makes it hard to edit large video on my phone.

By the way if you get a phone mic with the ear buds, cut the ear buds off and attach a wind sock over the mic and put that in your helmet, then you have to get a rss female to rs male adaptor for that to work correctly then plug that into your rss to usb c adaptor you will notice that the sound quality on the DJI action 3 is much much better and you won't be over talking the mic, because the phone mics already have that noise leveling built into them. Works great for me and I ride a KLR 650 and go off road all the time.

if you can't life a bike you should not ride it period. Not just on single track that is a basic rule of riding any bike because you can drop it on the street as well just slipping on sand or something, and honestly most people won't jump out of a car to help you....so if you can't lift it don't ride it ...

Percentage of hero 11 cameras overheating within minutes even in 1080k is WAY TOO DAMN HIGH.
Also, gopro having best audio is very very low argument as the best audio will always be a seperate recording system. I.e lav mic setup or dji mic.
Realistically the only pros the gopro has over the osmo is slightly less bulkier mounting system since its part of the camera and the ever slightly better video quality.
The cons are significant cons, cons on the osmo are more annoyances than cons that genuinely effect majority of people out there.

This is good though, now that there are competitors of the hero that could actually take over maybe its time they actually fix problems they've had for for almost a decade.

What’s the little tire pump you have ? Does it work ok ? All I see are to big for what I want, that looks perfect 👍🏻

The key things I'm considering on which one to get for my camera is battery life, price, and that over heating issue. Also that magnetic mount is pretty trick, so I'm leaning towards the DJI camera for my next one. Over all good video though!

DJI Osmo action 3 has D-CLike 10bit colour option for a long time now. Best thing about DJI is they keep pushing important updates.

ROFL... why does it need to pick up the motorcycles exhaust? haha... What if everything goes electric? No more exhaust... I personally don't care to hear the exhaust... hell... I'll make mine as silent as possible.

Great video, loved the animated unboxing too! I wonder if the manufacturers will ever make a Blue Tooth set up for Motorcycle Vlogging? so we can simply have a Mic in the helmet connected via BT to the camera? seems like such a logical option. I hate having to have the wire hanging out and physically connect to the camera on my chin mount! (or anywhere on the bike) would be great to be able to just jump on and connect using BT and ride away (maybe even connect several cameras at the same time) great channel keep up the good work 😁

So informative - thank you! :)

Footage is better on go pro

Okay, that unboxing earned a like 👍
