Everything about this camera is great. If you want to know all of the specs there are a lot of good videos out there. Ill just give some of my viewpoints as someone who takes pictures and videos for fun. Good solid metal camera that is pint sized and can fit almost anywhere. The size, the different shooting options, the fact that you can pair it with the bottom battery to extend shooting times and it also allows for an external sd card for continuous shooting as well. Theyinclude a bunch of different mounting options and the magnetic clips feel very secure. Now some cons. It gets extremely hot when shooting longer videos. The main camera is waterproof but the bottom battery and sd card are not so you have to remember to take it off before going in the water. Didnt come with a case and i had to purchase tempured screen protection for the lenses and screens. Also you cant charge just the top part of the camera. You have to charge it trhough the bottom battery. For me the pros outweigh the cons and for the sheer size and what it can do, ill be keeping the camera.

Great camera for FPV. Coming from the Runcam 5 Orange and Hero 8, I can say this little camera is a game changer. The only gripe I have is with the limited space it has internally and with the overall run time when trying to capture 4K. I get about 30 mins of use at 4K60 before it either fills up or dies. The magnetic screen attachment provides about 2 recharges for the camera which makes it usable enough for me. Recharging only takes 30 or so minutes and this can be easily solved by connecting the camera to a power bank.

I have mixed emotions with the Action 2. I want to like it but it keeps falling over itself. I'll start with my biggest gripe. They want you to use the camera by itself. If they didn't then why make it standalone, with memory built-in. It is extremely small and light. Also it's completely waterproof when it is just the camera AND it also has a screen. It all sounds too good. Depending on the situation, it is good. Very good. That's where I start to have my issue with it. It is an action camera. Action means riding a bike, skateboarding, skiing, etc. I attached the Action 2 to my chest mount and went for a ride. The built-in memory is good for about 25 minutes of footage. That lasted me about 40 minutes of real-time riding. Then the memory and pretty much the battery was exhausted. Sure I can tack on the power module or front screen module. I can copy the footage off the camera onto an SD card. To do that though, I'm not riding any longer. I'm now changing my behavior due to my device. Now I can also simply attach the front screen or power module to the camera and ride. Then I have tons of memory and about 1 1/2 hours of battery life. When I use it like that, I've lost one of its major features, its size. I've attached a picture to show the difference in its orientation vs. my other action camera. Again, mixed emotions. Let's go through what I do like about the Action 2. It's small and light. You can wear the lanyard, attach it to your torso and get some really cool 1st person footage. You can't even tell you are wearing it, it's so light. The voice control works very nice and the commands are very simple. When doing action sports, being hands-free is a big plus. The footage is nice. Good color. I did have to set the EV to -0.3. When doing vlogging of myself, the sun blew out my face in several spots. Kicking down the EV just a touch helped a lot. The ability to do 4k @ 120fps is awesome. If you aren't into video editing, the Slow Motion mode is very cool. It will record in 4k also and do the slow-motion rendering for you automatically. Using a button while recording you can toggle between normal speed and slow motion for some really cool effects. Photos come out nice as well. I use another product that allows me to use my action camera with magnetic mounts. The Action 2 stepped it up a notch though with its locking mechanism. I have had my other camera jar loose from the magnetic mount and that is never fun. With the locking mechanism, I don't see that occurring. The Ultra Wide angle is very wide. Things get distorted around the edges a bit but for doing MTB videos, its exactly what you want so you can the handlebars shaking all over with the road ahead. I found the RockSteady stabilization to work well as long as there is enough light. The sound is good too. It was almost like I was wearing a microphone. I could keep listing more items. The point is, the camera and system are good in the right scenarios. Then there are the things I didn't like. Overheating. I've had it shut down twice due to overheating. DJI explains in their manual or literature, paraphrasing, "it's a small device in aluminum and it will get hot". Yep, sure does. It probably takes either about 20 minutes of mostly shooting to get it to occur, or constantly using it for a couple of hours, shooting, uploading videos, going back out, and shooting. The good news is, it does cool pretty rapidly. It's just something that I've never seen to this level in an action camera. Next up is the Mimo app. It doesn't work for me. After checking with DJI, my $700 Motorola phone that I bought last month, that has been out for only 2 months, and runs Android 11, just can't cut it. That was disappointing. I've already discussed the insufficient battery life/memory when just using the camera. It's an action camera and when you go and do action sports, chances are pretty good that you aren't just doing them for 15-30 minutes. You are out for 1, 2, 4, 8 hours. Therefore, you really need to use the camera with the power module. In that configuration, it is still smaller than the competition but not by too much. The HorizonSteady is awesome. Absolutely brilliant. The problem is, you have to be in 2.7k mode and it super zoomed in. Probably half as wide as the ultra wide mode. I don't know what kind of activity I'd be doing to warrant that narrow FOV and most importantly, the reduction in resolution. I shoot exclusively in 4k now. One final biggie is the camera glass. It's huge...and completely unprotected. I do not engage in radical sports. I ride a street and mountain bike and I'm not that daring. In the last 4 years, I've had to replace two screens on my action camera. Once due to a fall, once due to the 3rd party magnetic mount failing. $20 later I was up and running again because I could buy a new lens glass. The Action 2 will require that you send it in to DJI. You better take the DJI Care refresh insurance. Just one fall and it will be worth it. In conclusion, the camera definitely has a place in my arsenal for some situations. I will need to see if this works in my mountain biking activities. I definitely need the power module attached. It's really nice to easily pull the camera off my chest and do some vlogging. The big, unprotected, non-user-replaceable lens glass is scary.

This is a great little action cam. I bought one and when I showed it to my wife, she wanted one, too! So I bought her one. We took both of them on vacation and got excellent action videos.

I have multiple pieces of video equipment and some of them (like my GoPro9) can get hot when recording in 4K. The Dji action 2 camera can get hot, but for what it can do, in such a small factor, is unbelievable. The ultra Wide angle option you can activate is SO good and video quality is good and crisp in my recordings in 4K. But the draw back is the heat once its been on for a while and when it charges. Im sure a software update can fix this later on. But the accessories are all great, especially the magnetic lanyard. This is meant for quick action recording without setting up a lot of stuff. Grab and go. Im enjoying it a lot.
