Got the new DJI Osmo Action. Great video but...

I loved it at first. The video quality is quite good, but then I started noticing a very slight flicker. I messed with every setting I could think of to stop it but with no luck. It does not flicker in slow-motion. At first people loved the camera on the forums, but then the complaints started coming in. I'd hold off for a couple of months before I would consider buying one.

Nice review, I’ve got a Hero 7 Black and love it. Only downside is that it sometimes freezes.

I was keen on seeing the results of the Osmo Action so thanks for the review

Thanks. The footage is impressive but occasionally I am seeing a minor flicker which drives me nuts.

Any further thoughts on this by anyone?

Really want to pick one up but cant decide between them

Currently £229 on Amazon.  I very nearly bought the new GoPro 8, until I realised that the lens cover cannot be replaced after the inevitable scratches start to appear. So I have decided to have a go with the Osmo, as it is a considerable saving.

Been looking at more recent reviews, and it appears that a lot of the early issues have been ironed out, and new features added. It arrives tomorrow, so will be putting it to the test first-hand.
