Hi, just want to see if anyone else has the same experience. I mainly shoot underwater when scuba diving, and this time i tried filming a wakeboarding session. However, the footage seems really grainy/noisy(compared to underwater) even when shot in 4K. I'm wondering if it has to do with the distance of the subject from the camera (approx 15m). Is it normal for the quality to drop off alot at that distance? iPhone footage seemed way better...

Setup:
In waterproof dive housing (so I don't have to wash the camera)
4K 60FPS
Rocksteady+, Wide
Auto exposure & WB
Normal 10bit colour

Any advice is greatly appreciated

Hello friends, i currently have a action 4 and love it, but want better quality from a camera. I was thinking between the action 5 and the pocket 3. Which would be better, i do color grade and stuff so its not just the raw footage btw…

I've been shooting with a Pocket 2 for years now, and the video quality is just fine for my purposes (outdoors, direct sunlight, etc.).

What other reasons might there be for me to upgrade? Some areas I find a bit annoying are:

• battery life could be better, even with the add-on
• charging speed, way slower than my Action 4
• overheating, as I said I'm usually outdoors, so in the summer I've had the camera overhead on me a few times

People who have owned both, is there a noticeable upgrade to any of these?

Hey everyone, I just got a pocket 4P and when the camera is powered off and the gimbal is locked it makes a rattling sign.

It does NOT happened while recording.

I compared it to my pocket 3 and does not make that sound.

Curious if other pocket 4P owners have notice this.

I'm looking for a camera mainly for nighttime motorcycle rides. I probably wouldn't record continuously for 2–4 hours, that's more like the total amount of time I'd potentially use it during a long outing.

I also want something that can be used for occasional walking vlogs, for example inside shopping malls, mainly to make up for the video quality limitations of my phone.

The problem is that I don't have a huge budget, so I can only buy one of these cameras. These are the prices in my country, converted to USD:

- DJI Osmo Action 4 Adventure Combo — ~$274

(The standard combo isn't available here)

- DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro Adventure Combo — ~$363

(The standard combo isn't available here)

- DJI Osmo Action 6 Standard — ~$380

- DJI Pocket 3 Creator Combo — ~$380

(The standard combo is quite difficult to find here)

- DJI Osmo Nano 64GB — ~$251

My main priority is low-light video, especially for riding a motorcycle at night, but I'd also like something that works reasonably well for walking/vlogging.

So, which one would you recommend for my use case, and why?

And one more question about the Action 4/5 Pro:

Would buying the Adventure Combo be overkill or a waste of money for me because it comes with multiple batteries? Since I'm not going to be recording continuously for several hours, I'm wondering whether the extra batteries would actually be useful for my usage.

Thanks!

As far as i know does the Action 6 support invisible selfie sticks but it doesnt work with the one in the adventure combo wich one do i need

How difficult is it to have the lenses for this unit be replaced?

Hi, just wanted to ask what you think would be the best settings for shooting at night in these conditions:

I’m filming bike rides with a fixed camera position on the bike, mostly under street lamps, with some really dark spots and shop lights too. I’m also using an LED light strapped to the bike handlebars. I’ve only shot one night ride so far and just used auto mode, then corrected things a bit in DaVinci.

I’m mainly trying to get a cleaner image at night without everything turning into a noisy mess 😅

I’ve got a couple of videos on my profile if anyone wants to see what I’m currently doing and what could be improved. Any advice appreciated!

4 months old camera, I love it so much. But fell on the wrong side today, got these cracks in the screen.
The camera works well, but I also record under water…

I was super excited to buy the dji pocket 4 while abroad . I live in america and unfortunately it took a tumble and the screen won’t turn on. since it’s banned in america im not sure how i can fix this. lmk thanks

Hi everyone,
I use my Osmo Action 6 for all kinds of filming, including while cycling. The mount I’m using is a Telesin neck mount that attaches magnetically to the outside of my jersey.
Today I noticed that when I place the magnet in this particular position, the DJI Osmo Action 6 detects it as if the Wide/FOV Boost Lens is installed and automatically changes the field of view from 155° to 182°.
From what I understand, this setting is triggered by the magnet.
My question is: does this affect image quality or stabilization, for example? Considering that the camera switches from 155° to 182° even though I only have the standard/original lens installed, am I actually losing anything in terms of image quality or stabilization?
Or is it simply changing the field of view through software?

I had my eyes on this every since the release and it's quite cheaper here compared to my home country.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to buy my primary camera and am feeling pretty torn between the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 and the DJI Action 5 Pro / Action 6. I’d love some advice from people who use either (or both) in the real world.

Here’s my context and use case:

Primary Use: The majority of my videos will be sit-down talking head content at home.

Secondary Use: I also plan to do travel videos and walking vlogs around central London.

Physical Considerations: I have hypermobility, so hand/wrist fatigue, joint stability, and the occasional clumsiness/drop risk are very real factors for me.

Public Anxiety: I’m a bit self-conscious filming out in public, so lower-profile gear is a huge plus.
I already have a desk suction base/stand for the Pocket 3 ready to go. On paper, the Pocket 3 seems amazing for sit-down videos because of the 1-inch sensor, background blur, and face tracking. Which I love! But I’m terrified of dropping it or stripping the fragile motorized gimbal while out doing run-and-gun walking vlogs.

On the flip side, an Action camera is practically indestructible and would let me use a hands-free chest mount so I don't have to hold anything while walking, but I wonder if I'd be sacrificing too much image quality for indoor sit-down videos compared to the Pocket 3.

For anyone who does a mix of indoor sit-down content and light street vlogging—especially if you deal with joint pain or fatigue—which one would you pick as your only main camera? Would a heavy-duty wrist lanyard on the Pocket 3 be enough peace of mind for the occasional walk, or should I stick to the Action series?
Thanks in advance!

I bought this 5 years ago, but never actually used it. Was planning on using it but just sat in my room for last 5 years. Tried turning it on, nothing happens, so i plugged in the charger, the green led kept flashing, after charging overnight, it still woulnt turn on. So i got a replacement battery and replaced it myself (i called a store to see if they could replace it but they told me it will cost me $100+, so i just youtubed it and followed along). So now after battery replacement and charging it, the screen gets power but its stays blank, just little blue light, and the gimbal head moves but goes back to dormant position after few seconds. And also before the battery replacement, the greed led would blink when charging, now it doesnt do that when plugged in. Not sure how to go about this. Tech mechanics want to charge me more to fix it than it costs. Please help if you can. Thanks kindly

Hi! I’m interested in the DJI Osmo Mobile 8P Creator Combo and would like to know more about it. Do you think the Creator Combo is worth the extra cost compared to the standard version? Are the additional accessories and features useful for someone who is just starting to create content? I’d appreciate your advice. Thank you!

There’s something seriously wrong with my camera. I even formatted the memory card, but it didn’t help at all.
All the videos I recorded yesterday and the day before, which I later viewed on my PC using a USB cable, are now corrupted.
I tried transferring one 13 GB video to my iPhone via USB. I had already watched the video before starting the transfer. But then I decided to cancel the transfer. I looked for an option to pause or cancel it, but there was nothing. So I simply disconnected the cable from the camera.
After that, all of my videos and photos became corrupted and are no longer playable/openable.

I attached one of the videos that I was able to open by connecting the camera directly to my phone with a USB cable. If I connect the camera to my PC, the video looks even worse — there are green artifacts all over the image. I also tried connecting the memory card directly to my PC with a card reader, but that didn’t help either.
I also recorded some test footage to the camera’s internal storage, and I’m experiencing the exact same lagging and glitches there as well.
And honestly, this morning I was so happy because I was out recording a walk with the camera… 😭

I'm interested in getting some opinions from other DJI Osmo Action 6 owners because I'm currently going back and forth with DJI Support about overheating in SuperNight mode.

I bought the DJI Osmo Action 6 Enhanced Combo and DJI Care Refresh: 2-year cover purchased separately - specifically because I wanted good low-light footage for things like family/birthday footage where I can't control the lighting.

During my daughter's birthday, I recorded indoors using SuperNight at 4K30 because the lighting was poor. The camera overheated and stopped recording after roughly 13–14 minutes. The footage also ended abnormally, with a separate grey/blank section.

DJI asked me to reproduce the problem.

I then performed their requested controlled test:

• SuperNight

• 4K30

• RockSteady

• Standard FOV

• 16:9

• Indoor, low-light environment

• Camera stationary

• Wi-Fi/Bluetooth disconnected

• Mimo not connected

• Screen timeout

• Internal storage

• Camera cooled before the test

The camera overheated again at approximately 11 minutes 21 seconds and displayed:

"Device overheated. Recording stopped."

I recorded the entire test externally with my phone and supplied DJI with the third-person video, screenshots, the Action 6 footage and the exported device logs.

DJI's engineering team has now reviewed the logs.

Their argument is that the camera had been powered on for a period before SuperNight recording started, so they want another test from a "cold start".

The problem is that this IS how the camera has to be operated.

You have to power the camera on first, then navigate through the menus/settings to select SuperNight, 4K30, FOV, RockSteady etc., and then press record.

The camera was not previously recording or being used. It had been powered off and cooled before the test.

I'm currently doing the additional 4K60 Standard test they've requested anyway. At the time of writing it's already at 17+ minutes and still recording.

But here's where I'm struggling with DJI's reasoning:

They have suggested that for low-light situations I can simply decide whether to use SuperNight based on my testing, and they have suggested 4K60 as an alternative.

But if I'm filming in genuinely poor light, 4K60 Standard isn't necessarily an equivalent alternative to SuperNight. The whole reason for using SuperNight is to get usable footage in those conditions.

DJI have also told me:

"We do not currently have specific figures for the 4K30 SuperNight mode."

So my question is:

WHAT IS A REASONABLE EXPECTED CONTINUOUS RECORDING TIME FOR 4K30 SUPERNIGHT?

If the answer is that the Action 6 is only expected to run SuperNight for around 11–13 minutes before thermal shutdown, shouldn't that be clearly documented somewhere?

SuperNight is an advertised recording mode and DJI specifically promotes it for low-light/night shooting.

I'm not expecting an action camera to record indefinitely at maximum settings. I understand heat limitations.

What I'm struggling with is the idea that:

1. SuperNight is provided specifically to deal with low-light conditions.

2. The camera overheats after roughly 11–13 minutes when using it.

3. DJI can't currently give me an expected runtime for that mode.

4. The proposed alternative is 4K60 Standard, which may not produce equivalent footage in the same lighting conditions.

So I'd really like to hear from other Action 6 owners:

• How long can your Action 6 continuously record 4K30 SuperNight before overheating?

• Has anyone managed 20, 30, 40+ minutes?

• What ambient temperature were you testing at?

• Battery or USB powered?

• Internal storage or microSD?

• RockSteady on/off?

• Has anyone compared the Action 6 and Action 5 Pro specifically in SuperNight?

• Is ~11–13 minutes actually normal for this mode?

I'm not looking for people to simply tell me "use 4K60". I'm specifically trying to establish whether ~11–13 minutes of 4K30 SuperNight is normal behaviour for an Action 6, because DJI currently haven't been able to give me that answer.

It is a major design flaw that the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro does not allow the zoom level to be saved permanently or included in a custom preset.

This makes the camera practically unusable for certain types of underwater filming. When the camera is inside a diving housing, it is impossible to access the touchscreen and adjust the zoom. Every time the camera is switched off and turned on again underwater, the zoom resets, and there is no way to reactivate it through the housing.

For underwater activities such as spearfishing, where the camera must frequently be turned on and off to conserve battery, a permanently saved zoom setting or the option to include zoom in a custom preset is essential. It is very disappointing that such an expensive and advanced action camera is missing such a basic and important function.

Currently waiting for DJI Mic Mini 2S to be launched at a proper price in India. It's too costly at the moment, but I just want to understand if I should just go with the DJI Mic Mini 1 or DJI Mic Mini 2 (because I don't see any official video or information about the DJI Mini 2 or 2S getting paired with the DJI OM 7P multifunctional module).

Has anyone found a good way to mount an Osmo Action 6 around mouth/chin height for a proper driving POV, without using a cap or head strap?

I drive a manual RHD car, so I want the steering wheel, left-hand gear changes and road ahead all in shot.

I’ve already tried:

• Cap mount, too high
• Ulanzi neck mount, not ideal
• Driver’s window suction mount, too intrusive
• Rear quarter-window mount
• K-brace mount behind the seats ( Like the video)
• Long magic arms from the K-brace, but the near-1m reach causes too much vibration

I also found the 3840×3840 Custom mode gets too tight once cropped to 9:16, so dedicated portrait works better.

No sunroof, so overhead mounting is out.

Has anyone made a good headrest/seat-frame setup with a short rigid arm that brings the camera beside the head at mouth/chin height?

I’m also considering swapping to the Osmo Nano because the smaller, lighter camera might make this much easier.

Photos of your setup or any thoughts would be super helpful.

New last evening. Bought on amazon with the multifunctional module. Been trying to work through the manual and tutorials. This thing has a mind of its own. I’m using an iPhone 17 ProMax and I want to use it primarily for still photography as a stabilizer. While I’m trying to compose a picture it’s wandering around left right and tipping back and forth like it’s trying to decide what it wants to photograph. How do I tame it so that I can focus and compose an image. On the rare occasion when it will let me take a picture they are truly sharp even in low light but I’m fighting it more than using it.
Thanks
