Hero 12 vs Action 4 - One is Good, The Other is GREAT!

Gopro has long been the heavyweight champion of the action cam world. Practice makes perfect so, seeing as they’re now on their 12th iteration of the Hero, that ought to be no surprise.

But the times, they COULD be a changin‘.

With the fourth generation of the Osmo Action series, drone giant DJI is putting forward a strong contender for Gopro‘s title.

The question is, which one is best for use on and around a motorcycle?

Also, which has the best battery life? Which has the best video quality? Which is the easiest to use? Which one will I choose for my videos?

All of these questions and more will be taken care of in this video!!

DJI provided both of the cameras in this video, free of charge. They did not, however, pay me for a good review or tell me what to say. All opinions are my own and, I think, all of them are very fair!
