Just bought this on prime sale for around 38k INR (Standard Combo). I don't know any thing about action camera or cameras overall. I thought about buying a mirrorless camera around the same price. But I cannot afford to buy accessories like good lens. Also I can mount this on my helmet and it's waterproof. So I don't have to care much about. How I am going to store it.

Now I am planning a trip to a hill station. It is monsoon season over there. So it's gonna be mostly rainy (Sunlight gonna be like minimum to nothing at all). Kindly share your experience with this camera and best settings for video. Also is it any good for taking pictures?

Do I need to buy ND filters? I did some research on these and my conclusion is ND filter is only useful. When outdoor light is too bright. As I mentioned, the place planned go is not gonna have that much of harsh sunlight. If ND filters are really must have for this. Please provide your suggestion on which brand to go with.

I have an Action 4 for climbing, hiking yet I am off to China for a city trip and want to do some vlogs without buying a new camera. I got a smallrig 1/4 black mist filer to soften up my image and added a bit of motion blur (mostly in post to allow my stabilisation to work better).

This was a practice vlog from my day out in London.

Please let me know what you think and if you have any feedback regarding settings/shot ideas or if I really do need a pocket camera.

Just bought this for an island trip next month. I absolutely have zero knowledge about any camera. For someone in the PH can anyone pls recommend a nd filter for this? I dont even know if they come in a 4in1 adjustable or do I have to buy a set of 4? Pls anyone

Hello everyone, asking for help with this yellow colored setting ?

It's happened twice where I'm running and put the action in my vest and somehow this comes back on , definitely something is being pushed while I'm running but yes can anyone help tell me what this is for but also how to toggle it on/ off ? I've had to remove the battery to get it off lol thank you !

Very happy with results!! Amazing quality. But does anyone know why it does that sudden slow motion towards the beginning? On the DJI mimo app it’s regular speed but when I download the videos they all come out with this slow motion take.

I use my Action 4 in a rally car that means it experiences huge vibrations. My previous camera (Drift Ghost S) had a 1/4-20 mount right on the camera and there was no significant visible vibration in the shot (https://youtu.be/1LMfIAxeb0E) but moving to the Action 4 and its Quick release magnet/clips on the same mount I get lots of camera shake (https://youtu.be/NAo_pgmkUsk).

I don't want to turn the in-camera stability on because I much prefer the car interior is locked and the outside moves, I think it conveys the experience better. Having stability turns on makes everything 'floaty'.

Are there any good cages or rigs that I'm not finding in my searches with a solid 1/4-20 mount? They all seem to assume you're going to keep using the quick release adapters.

Just posting a few clips from a family trip to Japan, and after watching them back I’ve noticed that panning left and right often looks pretty rough. Is this just normal for action cameras?

On the trip I was shooting in 4K 30fps with RockSteady enabled. My shutter was set to Auto (1/100 to 1/8000) and ISO was Auto (100 to 1600).

Since getting home I’ve been experimenting with other settings. I tried following the 180 degree shutter rule by shooting 25fps with a 1/50 shutter, but I found the stabilization looked much worse while walking. I’ve since been testing 1/100 and 1/200 with ND filters, but even then, pans can still look a bit unpleasant.

I’m trying to work out whether this is:

Just normal behaviour for action cameras,

Something in my settings,

RockSteady interacting with shutter speed,

Or simply that I’m panning too quickly.

I guess I expected an action camera to be a bit more forgiving, but if it’s mostly technique and I need to slow my pans down, I’m happy to work on that.
Any advice, recommended settings, or filming techniques would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I think I like the black color better but the white version is better for hot and sunny days. What’s your preference?

Me acaban de regalar esta cámara, totalmente nueva comprada desde la página oficial de Dji, todo venía en su respectivo empaque y sellos, es la primera vez que se va a usar la cámara, me percaté desde abrirla que en los botones está así, es normal ? Pd: no se quita, no es mancha, no es grasa de mis dedos, así está totalmente limpia y nueva !! Saludos

Finally got the 4P. Gonna open it up to play. Will try my best to answer questions.
