Fantastic camera as all the other reviews mention.The firmware updates have made huge improvements which address nearly all complaints from before 2021.This unit was $50 cheaper and labeled as:”Condition: Used – Acceptable – Display has cosmetic imperfections but is usable. Item will come in original packaging. Packaging will be damaged.”Check my review pictures. For the life of me I can’t find the blemish.Packaging was all original and aside from a small dent in the corner looked brand new.Hats off to the Amazon Warehouse Deals.

The camera is really good. I would recommend buying the waterproof shell as well though. Because, eventhough it is supposed to be waterproof, you don’t want to find out that yours isn’t quite as waterproof as it is supposed to be.Ask me how I know…..On a positive note, when I contacted them about the water damage to the camera, they replaced it, free of charge. That didn’t bring back the shark dive footage that I lost though.Overall, for the price, it is really hard to beat. The picture quality is stunning, the features are top notch and supporting software is also really great too.

EDIT: After a few days of use, my new Osmo Action has begun to display an overheating error and shuts down after about 15 mins. of recording. I’m hoping that I just got a defective unit, since I can’t seem to find a lot of information online about this being a regular problem. I have a new one ordered and will be returning this one. I will try to update this review once I’ve tested the replacement. For now, I’m leaving it at 5 stars, but that will certainly change if this problem should also persist with the replacement!My initial impressions: I absolutely love this camera. It’s my first GoPro-style action camera and I don’t know how I could be happier. Battery life is somewhat short, but I bought extra batteries and a charger, a tripod, an accessories kit, a table top tripod, a boom mic, lapel mic, mic adapter, another case, and MORE and I still haven’t spent what I would have on the GoPro 9 camera alone, which I was also considering. Great video quality, features, etc.!! Going to order another one or two soon, hopefully.

The media could not be loaded.  I love this camera, I just wish it supported live streaming. The image stabilization is amazing, and the wind noise removal is shockingly superb. On my motorcycle, if have this mounted behind my windscreen, put the noise is really bad on my GoPro Hero 3, and with this there is almost no noise at all. I hear my music, talking, and even my gear shifting which is so clean sounding Incan actually hear my gears drop into position and the clutch engaging — something I never hear as a rider. I have mine connected to full-time power with a 256GB Samsung Evo SD card so I can record a full days ride without battery drain. And I mounted it to my ride with a SmallRig case that makes all the features fully accessible.

I’ve owned two much more expensive GoPros, the last being a Hero 7 Black. The battery lasts easily twice as long as the GoPro, and the image quality is outstanding. The IS is so good, video from a dirt bike in extremely rough terrain looks like it was shot from a drone, hovering through the woods. This is a really nice action camera with a great price point. My only gripe is a noticeable transition when reviewing videos when it starts a new file. The file size is capped around 4.7 gigs *I think. I’d prefer to have the entire length of video on one larger file, and I haven’t figured out how to change this setting. I also shoot video with a Canon, and there is no noticeable glitch between the two (or more) files for longer videos, but there is a slight noticeable glitch when using files from the DJI. The wind noise is pretty bad, but I was able to easily fabricate using soft foam and hot glue a wind sock that works great.
