    Not bad. Was $296 delivered before. Missed out on that. So $299 Will do me. Now time to look for must have accessories.

    Memory cards, extra batteries and possibly a gimbal.

    • YellowKnight on 08/07/2020 - 22:45

      Why would you need a gimbal? The reason people get this is for the image stabilisation.

      • xoom on 08/07/2020 - 22:55
        +1

        I guess maybe not a gimbal. Selfie stick then? Or one of those floating plastic handle things.

        • Hugh G Rection on 09/07/2020 - 11:24

          the image stabilisation isn't that good, you're probably going to still need a gimbal.

          • legelas on 10/07/2020 - 17:02

            @Hugh G Rection: agree. Build-in digital or optical stabilization would never able to beat a gimbal

    I got one for a bit less than this on that first responders discount day. So far so good. Also got this accessories kit. Very good value and the pieces fit this camera nicely. Although I reckon the metal bits will rust if your prime use is near or in saltwater.

    • kldog20 on 09/07/2020 - 02:52

      How good is that accessories kit?

  • YellowKnight on 08/07/2020 - 22:46

    Is this better than the Osmo Pocket? What about low light?

    • Buy2Much on 08/07/2020 - 22:52

      It depends on your definition of better as they are for different use cases. Pocket has 3-axis stabilisation so is better than the Action's image stabilisation. On the other hand Action can go underwater and supports HDR. Have a look here to see which features suit you better.

    • ISO9002 on 08/07/2020 - 23:25

      I did the same. I bought this few months ago and sold it, thinking i might get the GoPro 8, but then never happened. Now i might get this again, unless GoPro 8 is now $299.

      Memory card you definitely need.

      Extra batteries would be good too.

      The rest like tripod, helmet mounts, water proof case etc are also nice to have.

      • zacsg1 on 09/07/2020 - 00:25

    does it come with the selfie stock?or something to hold on?or just camera?

    • xoom on 09/07/2020 - 00:12

      Just the camera. You would need to buy accessories which luckily there's plenty off eBay or Amazon.

  • Do I NeedThis on 09/07/2020 - 01:15

    Great deal, bought it from the last Amazon $296 deal. Just tried a few times and I love it. Now just waiting a holiday to try out more :D

    I bought the osmo floating grip, didn't want to buy a third party ones which would have been a quarter of the price just for the extra security . Bought a Samsung 128 GB u3 card for $35/36 but now it's on special for $25. Also bought a extendable pole hope I could use them.

    Now just trying to find a decent head strap that won't break the bank

  • kldog20 on 09/07/2020 - 02:54

    I was thinking about either this or the insta360 one x. I suppose for the price of the action right now, it’s heaps better?

    • The Value on 09/07/2020 - 09:32

      In terms of value, this a lot better but if you need 360, you need 360.

  • Aerith-Waifu on 09/07/2020 - 03:13

    Odd question, I know its meant to be used as an action camera, but can I use this as a Dash Cam? I need a Dash Cam for my car but I wouldn't mind having it used as an action camera when travel resumes.

    • The Value on 09/07/2020 - 09:35

      You can but it won't have a lot of the conveniences of an actual dash cam.

      But if You don't drive a lot and don't mind putting it in and turning it on every time you drive, it'll work.

    • IIGnomeII on 09/07/2020 - 09:40

      There is nothing stopping you from mounting it and using it as a dash cam but I don't believe it will loop record to overwrite what was on the card.
      Essentially you have to manually start the recording and card wipe etc. (could be wrong if this was a feature added in a recent firmware update however)

    How does this compare to GoPro?

    • [Deactivated] on 09/07/2020 - 06:17

      Search comparisons on YouTube, there’s plenty of reviews. Picture quality wise the Action seems more neutral, but just as good. This has a screen on the front as-well which I think is it’s best selling point.

      • 1st-Amendment on 09/07/2020 - 08:28

        What about the software? I find the GoPro editor very clunky to the point of I can't be bothered using it.

        • [Deactivated] on 09/07/2020 - 09:19

          Good question. Not sure, but I gotta go pick mine up now. I’ll see if I can provide some small insight into the software.

    A link to read if you are interested in protecting your data and security while using DJI apps such as Mimo that is used with this cam:
    https://www.riverloopsecurity.com/blog/2020/05/dji_mimo/

    But you could just plug straight in and download without using their app.

    • cerealJay on 11/07/2020 - 17:00
      +1

      Thanks for link. I no longer install apps like this on my primary phone where all my contacts and personal stuff is. I use a separate phone/device for the purpose of using apps I don't trust, but may need.

      The benefit of having a second device for "utility" purposes is you can leave in flight mode, and never get bothered by calls or texts; the battery will last longer, and there's nothing sensitive for apps to harvest. And you can leave on coffee table etc, and it doesn't constantly want attention because its role is limited.

      Smartphone manufacturers and mobile OS tech giants including Apple have failed in protecting user privacy. People don't demand a "privacy policy" they want actual privacy. Apple are claiming they are cracking down on privacy. Not only is this way too late, but it's a lie. They don't go far enough. Apps still have unlimited access to the internet without asking, and there is no concept of a firewall on Apple devices. The whole industry is corrupted by marketing and dollars. User choice and privacy is on the bottom of the privacy scrap heap.

      That's a Hero7 Silver. The colours (silver, black, white) are different models not colour preferences. This is comparable to a Hero7 black (which is better than the Hero7 Silver) and a great buy at this price

    man i really wanted this and was about to buy it. then i looked at the comparison videos with gopro7 :(
    this would be good for vlogging, and that's about it. i would think this action camera would be good for action, but it doesn't stack up to the gopro7 and no where near the gopro8. i really need the stabilization and the gopro7 can do slowmo in 1080p in 120fps, and osmo cant. also the colors on the osmo isn't very good, it is very washed out. i really wanted this camera because it is so cheap, but will just wait for a gopro8 sale.

    • bleemo on 09/07/2020 - 09:58

      What reviews have you been watching?

      The DJI can do 1080P in 240fps

      • MrMaxwell on 09/07/2020 - 10:33
        +1

        I would say the GoPro is more vivid by default which some may not like whereas the Osmo is more natural which can easily be adjusted in post.

      • Hugh G Rection on 09/07/2020 - 11:13

        not with rocksteady. no image stabilisation at 1080 240p, it doesn't even do it at 120.

    • zennow on 09/07/2020 - 10:28

      What do you mean?
      The post lists this "1080p - 120, 240fps" for this camera.

      • Hugh G Rection on 09/07/2020 - 11:15

        that's with out rocksteady image stabilisation. rendering it useless for me for an action camera. also with the rocksteady on it is really cropped while the GoPro is wider and can do it with more fps

        • klonky on 09/07/2020 - 11:27

          Why would you even need IS for 240fps footage? It's so slow you wouldn't see any shakes

            @klonky: youtube the examples of is 240 and you can see. it doesn't look like you use this feature so it won't pertain to you. so your camera only has 1 setting? you never use any other settings, lmao.

        • zennow on 09/07/2020 - 11:31

          You should have said that in your original post.
          Anyhow, I tried to find the specs for hypersmooth for the gp8black and can't find it, even on their website and manual.
          I think this is one of those things that aren't documented, but can only be found out after usage, and in reviews.
          So what is the technical fps limitation on the DJI vs GP when video stab is turned on?

    Good price. But my SONY FDR-X3000R is still rock solid and not losing to any competitors (or not much at all) after spending 3+ years by my side. Can't find any reason to pull the trigger, even if this deal is really tempting. When these little buddies are still playing with digital image stabilization such as "EIS" and "HyperSmooth", the X3000 has been using OIS - the real optical image stabilizer which requires a subtle and complex physical structure to achieve since 3+ years ago. Not just algorithms inside the chip. This is the real deal and far more advanced than the digital trick. SONY is just ahead of time. I guess that's part of the reason why they didn't release any new sucessors to this model X3000 ever since then.

    Check this side-by-side comparison for GoPro HERO8 Black VS GoPro HERO7 Black VS DJI Osmo Action VS SONY FDR-X3000:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e85BccwIWCM

    • MrMaxwell on 09/07/2020 - 11:34
      +1

      Each to their own.

      I found the X3000 performance to be average and the side-to-side wobble on playback is terrible which is clearly visible in your example link. Also the menu system is typical Sony (sucks) and features are now long outdated.

      • WayneOZ on 09/07/2020 - 11:48

        It is obvious that in daylight, the SONY's OIS is not as good as today's chip and algorithm any more, I don't doubt about it. But check the video from 6:16, and you can clearly see the benefits of having optical image stabilizer rather than solely relying on algorithm.

        The semiconductor industry has been greatly developed in the past 4 years (when it hasn't? lol). And no chip can handle such great amount of processing load for image stabilization back to the time X3000 was released (Sept. 9, 2016). If this camera was released today, it would be easy for SONY to incorporate the new chip and algorithm and then make it outstanding by featuring OIS.

      • igerstep on 09/07/2020 - 13:48

        Agree, certain action sports benefit more from software stabilisation than OIS.

    • nomoneynoproblems on 09/07/2020 - 11:39

      X3000 is an absolute beast still. It was up against the go pro 5 when it came out and wiped the floor. The 7 and 8 have definitely caught up but easily trades blows with them.

      • MrMaxwell on 09/07/2020 - 11:55

        Yes the X3000 was ok when released years ago and the OIS held great promise but saying it’s still rock solid and not losing to any competitors is wrong. Also where are the model updates x4000 x5000 etc??

        • nomoneynoproblems on 09/07/2020 - 14:17

          It was best in class when it was released, so how was it "Ok"? It's still rock solid and definitely loses to the go pro 8 but it can still go toe to toe. Night performance and sound is still better and some prefer the colours of the Sony. I think they've actually thrown in the towel for action cameras and decided the rx0 line is their niche small body cameras.
