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.

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 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

Casual user here too. - OA5P - More affordable - OA6 - More expensive, a “little bit” better in low light but still inferior to the Pocket 3 Based on what I’ve watched so far, the quality difference is honestly negligible aside from a little low light boost. Personally, I always have a cold shoe light attached to my OA5P since it’s pretty underexposed in certain scenes, like walking around a dimly lit park at night. I like shooting in low light, so the OA6 kind of piques my interest a bit. I imagine I’ll still have the cold shoe light on for the OA6 though. I bought the OA5P a month ago and didn’t wait for the OA6 since I had some vacation trips I wanted to capture. If I wanted to upgrade, I can sell my OA5P later and just top up a little for the OA6 once it’s available here. TL;DR: OA6 if you’re willing to pay more for a low light boost

Man, thats not what one wants to hear but I understand it. I have a side by side comparison coming out on Friday between the Ace Pro 2 and the Action 6. I've been looking over the footage captured from both of them (side by side on my camera tray) and you can clearly see that the action 6 is way way brighter. I guess that a lot of this is personal preference when you arent a professional but honestly, I cant see how DJI puts out a camera that isn't considerably better than 2 year old tech from Insta. Overall, I'm not unhappy with it though. I really wanted to be blown away but that didnt happen. I know the challenges and issues with designing it but I wish that a company would come out with an "action cam style" camera with a larger sensor even if it meant that it got a little bit bigger.

We run an action camera and a 360 on every dive to make sure we dont miss anything. lol. Glad you found the video helpful. I have a a review of the pro dive case with the insta360 x5 on the same channel that makes the X5 look real good. But I'm still torn on if the 6 is worth the upgrade. Full side by side review of the ace pro 2 and the action 6 coming friday

I sold my Hero 13 and kept my ace pro 2 because the performance was that much better. then the osmo action 6 came out and I jumped at the chance to test it. Here is some of the action 6 with some ace pro 2 comparison at the end. [https://youtu.be/J\_uSzR3w72k](https://youtu.be/J_uSzR3w72k)

Here is a look at the new DJI Osmo Action 6 on a dive. [https://youtu.be/J\_uSzR3w72k](https://youtu.be/J_uSzR3w72k) the comparison video to the ace pro 2 is coming next week. As other have said, I wouldn't be looking at gopro at all. both insta360 and DJI have far better offerings for under water video

Don’t get it. Get the osmo action 6

well, it's a pov camera. you aren't really supposed to have the screen attached anyway. it's just used as a monitor to reframe. if you're not going to put the camera on your shirt for first person hands free filming then get the Action 6. for me... I'll probably buy both.

you want to do POV shots and you also want to vlog. so get a Nano for POV and an Action 6 Pro for vlogging. yes it's true that the sensor of the Nano matches the current Action Pro 5. But the Action 6 Pro which will be released in less than a month is going to match the "Pocket 3's" 1 inch sensor and it will come with 2 screens. they are not going to cannibalize their flagship Action series by putting 2 screens on the Nano plus you are now significantly increasing the cost when the point is to compete against the insta360 GO Ultra for market share.

oh, I see you're one of those fanboy techie freaks. I'm just here to buy a new camera. and that will probably be the Action 6 Pro. see ya later fanbot.

honestly? Action 4, 5 or 6.

right, well.... they're almost all the same. 4 has better color, 5 has better lighting in dark environments and bluetooth microphone ability. 6 has open gate so you can crop horizontal or vertical and automatically adjusts aperture (according to a hands on video I saw just 10 minutes ago). But you can film horizontally or vertically anyway with the Action 4 by just turning the camera horizontal or vertical. Each one goes up in price with minor improvements. If you're going to use it mainly for surfing just get the 4 it's quite inexpensive and can take a beating. It just depends on how much you want to spend. Get the 6 and it does everything. If you only care about filming surfing then get the 4 and save your money for accessories. If you can afford the 6 then get the 6. no doubt it will do additional things but you're probably never going to use them. If you have absolutely no idea just get the latest and the greatest. On the other hand the price will probably be twice that of the 4. Black Friday sales are very soon don't forget.

I would say the 5 pro had negligible improvements. If you’re going from the 4 to 6 this is huge, 5 to 6 this is meh for sure
