Video Hummus Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Guess the drone market is slowing down. Why on earth would they want to get into the action camera market, especially with these rumored specs? Last GoPro I bought was a Hero 3 Black. Was never impressed with the footage. You seriously need to be jumping out of a airplane or doing a 360 degree backflip triple reverse spine bend on a rocket powered arm chair for the footage to look good. The hero 7 changed some of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with many others here that if the hardware is similar to the GoPro and taking into account GoPro seeming to do pretty well on the software side, there doesn't seem to be much chance this offers much that GoPro doesn't. Interesting to hear that you're happy with the images - I know things have changed a lot since my Hero 3 Black but looking at the footage from that thing is beyond disappointing. I tried recording myself and a colour chart under controlled lighting high DR scene and cycling through all the main resolutions and combinations of Protune and different WB settings. Then I took them into Resolve and tried colour matching the Protune files to the normal mode and I struggled to get results as nice as the normal mode, and also couldn't see any improved DR either. Needless to say that none of that footage matched anything like the glorious ads they make. RAW or high bitrate files would be something interesting, one of the cool features of the X3000 is the 100Mbps codec, which combined with the OIS and less clipped DR (see iPhonedo GoPro review videos) makes for significantly cleaner images, especially in low-light. If the DJI action camera had RAW or a nice codec then I'd be quite torn between it and the X3000, but so far there's nothing interesting about it. Does anyone know if the Ambarella H2 image processor is particularly powerful? If it is then maybe there's advanced software stuff going on.... @androidlad ? GoPro's last ad was created entirely by all of us, the consumers. Not a single clip was made in house. kye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webrunner5 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 It looks like it has a front facing Selfie screen on it. Well that might be a bigger deal overall. Maybe not to us but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisaha Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 The most interesting takes of the subject are from Sony. The 1" one and the BOSS one. But 1" sensor can make me invest on something, anything smaller is just smartphone territory. kye and deezid 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanRevert Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 It's a little funny to me that GoPro tried to enter DJI's territory and almost lost their ass with the Karma. So now DJI is returning the favor by trying to enter GoPro's territory. Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deezid Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 1 inch sensor 10 bit recording D-log 4k60p with stabilization Non-fisheye lens At least one of these things won't happen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, but it's the wrong shape for a start. 6 hours ago, Kisaha said: The most interesting takes of the subject are from Sony. The 1" one and the BOSS one. I completely agree. I'd happily sacrifice size (they could make it twice the size and I'd be fine with it) if it had a stabilised 1" sensor. But, it's not xmas apparently... 1 hour ago, deezid said: 1 inch sensor 10 bit recording D-log 4k60p with stabilization Non-fisheye lens At least one of these things won't happen... IIRC, currently every option is missing at least two of those, some more, so if it was only missing one that would be a step forwards.

I guess we will soon find out. But that has been a bitch about the GoPro is you can't see what the heck you are shooting in selfie mode. I have no clue why the dumb butts that design cameras have not come out with a Selfie camera from hell. They couldn't make them fast enough if they did. There must be some stupid ass people at the top of some of these companys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make complete sense, to repackage the existing components you're already using and have bug fixed and written software for. That would be pretty cool. Does anyone know if it has the same number of buttons as the Osmo Pocket? If so, it might be a gimbal-less version of the same imaging pipeline. webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This photo was posted by OsitaLV on twitter (serial DJI leaker.) He also referred to the OsmoSport as a repackaged Osmo Pocket with wider angle lens. This also looks very small to me. Looks like an interesting product (but, then again, I am something of a DJI fan boy!!) kye and webrunner5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like it to actually go the other way, and put more features into something very compact, rather than same features as GoPro but in much smaller size. I mean, who has looked at a GoPro without any accessories or mounts or microphones and said "jeez, that thing is just too big" ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanveer Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 I hope it had better quality video than GoPro, at a better price point. The shape is very curious. I am assuming it doesn't have that terrible fish eye effect, and that's why the lens protrudes so much from the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
