    Hi from Wisconsin

    I live in Ohio, but am from Wisconsin so I bridge the gap between the two of you.

    Osmo action worth it?

    I like it and use it/have it as my go to action cam solely because of the door issue when using the GP with the Karma. The thing I really, really hate about it is if you any of your subject matter is within 10 feet you get distortion.

    ???

    DJI is running into a problem in the action cam game that everyone else runs into in the drone game: fighting the big dog. GoPro still owns this space. Probably more so than DJI owns the drone space. Add onto that DJI's lackluster support and follow-through on products and you have some...

    Unannounced physical change to the Osmo Action

    Find a serial number of the update and make sure that the one you are buying has a higher serial number?

    Used Osmo Action at mud run

    There were a handful of people that had them that I noticed. A couple of people commented on the one I had and without fail referred to it as a GoPro.

    Osmo action worth it?

    If you have a GoPro (depending on which one you have) there really isn't a compelling reason to swap it out. I have both. I leave the GP tethered to the Karma drone. They are very similar and tend to have some of the same shortcomings (lack of linear mode in multiple resolutions) and each has...

    Used Osmo Action at mud run

    I ran a warrior dash with my youngest (14) last weekend. Had a few thoughts on what I did right and what I did wrong. As prep I got a waterproof case (needed for sure) and one of those million and one mount kits. I was torn between the headmount and the chest mount. I opted for the chest...

    Duck timelapse

    I would do it when she is away (the setup), but she's living rent free in my yard...

    Duck timelapse

    The action has a 1300 mah battery. My battery packs are over ten times that. I don't know what the battery life in timelapse is, but for video it is less than an hour in real world conditions. Extreme heat will lessen that even more. The ambient temps are my concern, not the heat of the...

    Duck timelapse

    I have a duck that has decided to put its nest right under a bush under the overhang of my house. The duck will periodically leave for a bit (going to get food) and I was thinking about doing a timelapse. Obviously this presents some challenges. 1. Power - I figured I could mitigate this one...

    Osmo Pocket or Osmo Action?

    I honestly think these are for two distinct markets with some overlap. The Action is, well, an action cam. You get it wet, you get it dirty, it is designed to be rattled around. The Pocket is more for panos, stablized movement (can do with Action also) and motion timelapses. The question...

    Got my third party underwater housing today

    I did finally receive my underwater housing today (and it wasn't a squishy ball this time). I will post pictures and thoughts later.

    Mud run suggestions

    I'm doing a mud run (Warrior Dash) with one of my kids in a couple of weeks. One of the reasons I got the Action was in anticipation of this. Of course given that my waterproof housing I ordered ended up being a Panda bear squishy ball (?) I don't know if it is going to be possible. My...
