I used GoPros for twenty years and made the switch to the DJI Action 4 two months ago and sold my GoPro Hero11. The one thing that I really appreciate is the magnetic mounting of the Action 4, GoPro's are a hassle to mount and dismount, old school system. I don't have to buy accessories like the media mod etc. The audio and video of the Action 4 for is very good especially when paired with the DJI microphone, they take less than ten seconds to attach to the camera withe no cables. And the big one, it does not overheat and shut down. With the climate temperatures increasing during the summer season many days in the summer are very hot and this is where the GoPro fails big time. I do a lot of ebiking so I purchased two action 4's, one each for the front and back of my ebike. If I want to shoot some B roll I pop off the camera and I'm good to go. Thanks for the review.

@@andrew_gardner you can literally unscrew the GoPro mount and put in a third party. Same with the hero 12. They could have sold it separately. It’s almost all software changes. For example. As people who regularly strip down all their cameras for small fpv drones may know, the 10 and 11 have the SAME sensor. They lied when they said the 11 sensor was bigger, it’s the same size as it was before the 11 was launched. Just software unlocked like they used to do when they had tiered cameras. Almost everything they’ve done since the 10 could have been a software update. Removing the GPS is about the only thing they couldn’t update on the 10 😅.

The double embargo seems to be a way to milk pre orders for a couple of days after the announcement before the negative reviews. Removing the GPS is lame. I do not use it much, but occasionally it is good for accurately geotagging the footage, to measure distances from a start to an endpoint later on. I was hoping in a low light improvement. The improvements over the 11 are minimal and worth only for a few specific users. Many of the new features could have probably offered to older GoPros via a firmware update. Better spend the money for an experience like a short trip and use the old cameras, than buy a new one.

Neat. Can't wait for the comparison. I'm looking to buy an action camera in the next few weeks before I take a long road trip and I'm having a really hard time deciding. I was about to drop the hammer on a DJI OSMO Action 3 bundle this morning then I learned it only takes 256gb micro sd cards and it can't use the bluetooth remote like the 4 can. Also I'm a night owl so the low light clarity is a selling point too. The Action 4 is still my frontrunner since the Go Pros seem to have worse thermal issues and I live in California where it's hot as all fuck like half of the year.
@primefocusphotography
Жыл бұрын
Same boat. Was originally looking at the Action 3 but the lowlight performance is no better than my Hero 9. Really ready to pull the trigger on the Action 4 after seeing that the Hero 12 will still be lacking in the lowlight area yet again. Plus, I really like DJI's magmount system. Agree on the heat issues as well. I spend a lot of time exploring in the California desert where temps are obviously quite a concern. On the 9 I usually have to keep the clips less than 8 mins at a time if it's 100 or less, over 100 its less than 5 mins per clip to be safe.
@THEUrinalCake

@@primefocusphotography The convenience of that magnetic mount is kickass. Switching transports or shooting conditions? Just clip that sucker on to the next mount! Also I really dig their battery charging solution with the triple case that can be used as a battery bank also. And being able to set your own custom shooting modes to set as presets. It's pretty key to have everything ready when the inspiration or the right moment to film rises. You don't have time to fiddle around setting shit up. Another pisser I saw on a vid earlier is that the Go Pro Hero 12 stripped out the GPU tagging functionality. That's lame to lose functionality with the new gen.

@eddieagha5851
Жыл бұрын
@KarlRock There are some things you can do to help overheating. Make sure the bottom lugs are attached to metal parts including the tightening knob. Turn off the front screen. The more metal adjacent to the camera, the better the heat dissipation. As an Electronics Engineer I can say that heat dissipation in such a small device is a tough design challenge. As chips get more and more complex, and higher and higher power, heat dissipation becomes a real problem. It can be solved, but the GoPro would have to grow substantially in size and weight to enable heat dissipation. This would definitely curtail its use as a light, quick action cam.

With GoPro, even if a fix is obtained later the readings would either duplicate a static location or not be available at all.

Long time GoPro fan and customer, I did not upgrade from the Hero 9 until the Hero 11 mini and I was considering diving into the 12 but then you said the removed the GPS….???, what a stupid move. So, they removed some hardware and added a bunch of software improvements and slapped a 12 emblem on it and sold it at the same price of the prior system with GPS?!?! I have no idea who is running this company but they have ZERO vision and they stink of a company who can no longer innovate, a company that invented the segment…and they now run the danger of becoming a third tear action camera which will quickly turn into becoming irrelevant. Wake me up when they actually build something new, most of this update is software that they can port to the older cameras I bet for the most part but they wont…so I wont, no need to get the 12 for me…more of the same.

I have been a GoPro fan since the original Hero and I currently have the 9 & 10 black's. We do a lot of content in Texas and south west where temps range from the 80's-110's. My question is how is the overheating and thermal shutdown on the 12? Great video thank you.

Agree, basically if GoPro does it, it increases the life of your camera. When you buy a new one, you then know that it will be better next year when new model arrives, like iPhone.

@@mtbohana wait and watch. Of course initially it’s a clickbait for people to feel they need 12 rather than 11 but once they conclude who wanted to buy bought they will enable for 11 so they can sell more mods. There is nothing in the sensor hardware different for it to not work.

Thanks for the fantastic breakdown of the new features and unfortunately one big downside. I've been waiting paitently for GoPro to add Bluetooth audio and timesync to their cameras, so these are welcome changes. However, deleting the GPS from the camera is a deal killer for my use cases in motovlogging. I can capture GPS/GPX data with a separate device, but that's just another hurdle. I'm sure there were design or power considerations for omitting the GPS, but why remove it from the "flagship" camera line? Isn't that what the "bones" or "mini" models are for? Sigh... 😒👎 --QM

I had the same reactions to BT audio (and how my headset would connect...) and the deletion of the GPS. Perhaps, given the stated goal to expand the product line, they will add a Hero 12 Black (Plus? Pro? G? whatever) model, which adds the GPS hardware back in. That way, those that care less about GPS can buy the slightly less expensive unit, and those that want it - cyclists, motorcyclists, car enthusiasts - can opt for the model that has it. Still, it's a curious deprecation.

I would be happy if we can link the cycling computer so that everything (data) is also saved while recording , linking the data with the video is time consuming. I don’t know if that’s difficult for them to do. But it would be awesome
