[Supreme] Why I Chose Osmo Action 4 for My S2000 Driving Videos! A Practical Review After Ditching the “Overheating King”

Farewell, G*Pr*! The Story of How I Almost Threw That “Overheating” Piece of Junk Out the Window on a Perfect Driving Day.

To everyone who watched my videos, thank you. But do you have any idea how much despair I tasted behind those few minutes of footage?

Once, I was undoubtedly a “G*Pr* believer.” But that thing never does its job when it counts. In the middle of a midsummer open-top drive, at the very moment the VTEC reached its climax, the screen would cruelly display: “Recording stopped.” It wasn’t capturing anything. My soul’s scream was lost!

So today, I’m going to clean my slate and reveal my current “Final Destination for Driving Videos.”

Don’t Underestimate It Just Because It’s “Two Generations Old”! The Osmo Action 4 is the Only Partner That Can Witness the Midsummer VTEC Sound to the Very End.

I’ll be honest. Some of you might be thinking, “The Osmo Action 4? Now?” As of January 2026, with the latest “Action 6” already out, choosing this is like “choosing to drive an S2000 today”—it’s a choice for adults who actually get it.

• Advantage: Even if you leave it under the scorching midsummer sun in an open-top car, it keeps recording until the battery dies. You have no idea how precious this “obvious” feat is in the world of driving videos!
• Self-Deprecation: Image quality or stabilization? It’s harder to find elements where it loses to the latest models. Honestly, at its current lower price, I’m tempted to buy another one and start a “Two-Camera setup.”

Wind Noise is Just “Noise.” The DJI Mic 2 is the Shortest Path to Capturing the Sensual Muffler Sound.

If you’re a beginner who thinks the camera’s built-in mic is enough, throw that idea away right now. The wind noise of an open car turns your VTEC sound into mere “static.”

• The Solution: The “DJI Mic 2,” which can be placed anywhere wirelessly. The connection is laughably easy.
• The Pro Tip: Of course you can set it inside the car, but if you tuck it near the muffler, you can harvest that sensual exhaust note directly. Don’t talk to me about driving videos until you’ve tried this.

Like the camera itself, this mic is technically “outdated” as of January 2026. That is absolutely not a problem. You can go for the latest DJI Mic 3, or choose this model with its more reasonable price. Pick whichever you like.

The mark of a wise owner is using points on Rakuten or Yahoo! Shopping to get a deal. In fact, I bought mine through a link on someone else’s blog!

Stop Spending Tens of Thousands on “Specialized Mounts”—Use That Money for Gas! The 100mm Camera Shoe Style for the “Face-Free” Golden Angle.

If you’re about to buy one of those expensive, S2000-specific mounts, wait a second. My “correct answer” is an ultra-practical style: “clipping a camera shoe onto the wind deflector.” It looks a bit dorky, though.

• The Obsession: The magic is in the 100mm protrusion. This is crucial. Even with a wide-angle lens, it doesn’t catch “my face,” yet the sense of being inside the car is maximized. It’s cheap, but its stability surpasses expensive dedicated mounts. Besides, nobody wants to see the face of a middle-aged man like me. This setup brings peace to the world!

The Maze of Gear Selection Ends Here. All You Need to Do Now is Open the Roof and Floor the Pedal.

If you don’t want to taste the despair of finding out “it wasn’t recording” after skimping on gear, choosing this “DJI Set” from the start is the wise man’s path.

Latest or outdated like mine—it doesn’t matter.

I’ve put links to the gear I use below. Only those who want to avoid the “Hell of Recording Failures” should click and buy.
