DJI - Osmo Action 6

If you are a videographer you of course know that you can totally get away with using actioncams for BTS. Done that a lot of times for online and TV productions, and is is pretty common to do that. Not of all of us are Ridley Scott. Personally I reall like the nano for its form factor. you can mount it pretty much anywhere and is is quite unobstrusive. Which is a big plus for behind the scene footage. You have to keep in mind that the runtime of the nano owthout the vision dojc is significantly shorter and it does have to get recharged on the dock pretty much every hour or so if you dont want to risk it shutting down in wrong moment. Also it does get pretty warm over time if you set it to record in the max bitrate. Real life performances of the nano: 1.5 hours, body mounted, indoors, low light mode (blacklighted room), no problems at all 1 hour, 240fps / 1080p, body mounted outdoors, no problem In terms of quality I can only compare it to my action 5 pro, and they are both on par under all conditions. And that is still pretty much comparable with the Action 6. The 6 has of course a better performance in low light which might be a key factor in BTS applications. In conclusion the nano is fine if you use it in a way and for a purpose that it is fit for. Like POV mount, fire and forget. For point and shoot I'd opt for the Action 5/6.

Action 6, no question. Last year I had both the Osmo Pocket 3 and and the Action 5 and chose to bring the Action 5 with me on an epic road trip from SoCal to Yellowstone. We visited and hiked 3 National Parks on that trip, and the Action 5 was amazing. I got the Adventure combo, with the 1.5m extension rod - being able to get overhead video of some of Yellowstone's wild thermal features was amazing - it was almost like having a mini-drone in those instances. And the video quality was stunning. I've since bought the Action 6, because I needed two action cams for my business - the Action 5 is equally amazing and can be purchased for less $$.

If your use purpose is strictly as a dashcam I’m sure there will be more affordable options and it won’t need to be an action camera. If you want an action camera because you want to film yourself and create content whilst also doubling up as a potential dash cam, then yeah, DJI action 4/5/6. I’ve just bought the 6

If you have the 5 pro, probably not worth upgrading, if you don’t and want to buy one, it’s worth the extra. The square sensor and battery life are big plusses for me

Action 6 is great with the new update

I’m loving it coming from the action 4. Much better in low light and crop ability now also with 8k is very useful if you do social media content. I also enjoy the macro lens ability. Not sure the image quality will be much better than an iPhone but the issue with phone recording is control of the image you want and overall durability. I also have the pocket 3 and usually grab the action 6 just bc of how quick and easy it is to throw it in my bag along w the durability compared to the pocket 3.

I took a chance on fly image tech and received it in just a few days. I’ve seen their reviews and it’s mostly negative towards drones. But I will say the action 6 came in 5 days earlier than what the shipping said

The downside to the Action 6 is the low light footage looks very un natural it over exposes the light making it way brighter then it actually is the Action 5 pro in low light conditions feels way more natural 

The downside to the Action 6 is the low light footage looks very unnatural it over exposes the light making it way brighter then it actually is the Action 5 pro in low light conditions feels way more natural and the action 5 pro has better black Friday deals right now and the osmo pocket 3 also has amazing deals right now for both the osmo pocket 3 and the osmo pocket 3 creator Combo which comes with some awesome goodies including a dji mic 2 transmitter as well as a few other accessories 

They didn't do that for OA5Pro. And, it's even worse with OA6. I guess that the only way is to just record in DLog and then mess with it in post production. Then you don't have HDR look. Sadly, OA4 do have much better looking video out of camera (and without DLog).

They are for different uses, but a static shot from the 6 should be similar. We will know soon enough, I have bought one but have to wait. I do not think it replaces the pocket, but it does some jobs better, like POV, water and sports of course. The 5 is fine in good light, the 6 should perform similar in low light to pocket 3

I ordered from Adorama this morning and it has already shipped, showing to be delivered on the 20th
