The one and only difference that matters to me is the software stability. I started my youtube channel with a gopro but I lost tons and tons of footage as the cameras kept crashing and needing a battery reboot. I've used DJI cameras almost 2 years now and I have NEVER lost s single clip with any of my DJI actioncams or the DJI pocket 3. The stability is incredible and I put my money towards reliability every time.

I can only back up what you’re saying mate. Not a single loss or hiccup since I’ve been on team DJI. They took a little while to sort out the audio for in helmet, but now it’s solid as far as I’m concerned. I also only need 3 batteries and the charging case for an entire days filming. Before it was always a challenge to get by with 5 batteries and TWO Gopro charging docks. It’s a no brainer for me.

@@AndyManCam The gopro bluetooth support is not even on the same planet as the DJI mic in quality.

Great Review 👍 much better POV than 360 cam. We have Action 4 to capture off road trail rides. Noticed you choose 4k / 25 fps but mostly ride on road vs. extreme trails. We use 2.7k / 60 fps in Pro D-log settings. There was a conversation on DJI forum stating 4k is internally upscale from 2.7 to 4k. One reason we use 60 fps is better frame grabs for stills. Can ad motion blur in post but cannot convert it to sharp image. Thank you, enjoyed riding along. PS: We have BMW R1200gs

I almost always use 2.7k aswell. Best balance of quality and size. Plus, as you mention, it’s a true 2.7k, rather than the crop for stabilization. I‘d very much like to do more offroad with the Aprilia but it’s sadly not very easy here in northern Germany.

Great comparison Andy that was obviously a lot of work! I tried the Action 4 but (without boring you) had trouble with the way it connects to the DJI Mic 2 which I've stuffed into my crash helmet :) So I'm still using a Hero 10 and Media Mod on my helmet, connected to a Purple Panda Mic. That's the backup audio really because I'm also using the Mic 2 and it's internal 32-Bit float recording which is very impressive! I now record in 4k 4:3 which allows some flexibility to reframe the footage in post. I'd never upload a 1080p motovlog video to KZitem as their compression ruins the footage when it comes to faster motion. 4K is best IMO, for future proofing against whatever tricks YT may pull in the future reduce their video streaming costs... 1080p videos used to look fine in YT till a few years ago!

I do need to see if I can get the wireless mic in my helmet somehow though but don't think I can make it fit in a sports helmet.. great review Andy 👏 Also with the external mic takes the camera 30 to 50 seconds to switch to the external mic from the internal.. means if your on a tour can miss what your riding past if you quickly turn the camera on

Thanks Chopsy. You’re absolutely right, the equipment had to fit the person using it and if you can’t get the mic in your helmet then it’s not going to work for you. For me i tend to have the two cameras so normally turn everything on and off together, so it works. I can confirm the delay though, it was usually about 20 seconds for me. Do you use any audio compression in post? I never really felt like the lapel mic method with the DJI lost any ambient sound, but with the compression, the noise floor is raised which brings up the background noise a fair bit.

DJI has good reason to be confident. I didn't quite catch the logos immediately at the top of the screen but when you went back and forward at the very start I could tell the DJI was a better quality. It just looks more natural. The Gopro looks okay but has a gross fish eye effect and makes everything look wider than they outta be. When you move your head the Gopro also gets really jello-y. For the DJI camera to be the better camera to live with, better quality and then cheaper. Yikes, Gopro. What are you lads doing over there? I also agree that 4k is overkill. Unless you have an enormous TV you are just not going to see a difference in pixel density between 2k and even 1080p with a lot of screen sizes. I have a 4k ultrawide monitor and a 1080p monitor right beside each other. You could accuse me of having poor eye sight and you'd be right but it is indistinguishable. The main advantage of 4k when it comes to editing your projects is that you can digitally zoom a 4k video without losing quality because of how overkill it is.
