Customers regard the Action 2 Power Combo 4K Action Camera favorably for its video quality and ease of use, with many praising the crisp footage and user-friendly design. However, concerns exist regarding overheating and battery life, particularly during extended 4K recording. The camera's small size is also a frequently cited advantage. Some users have experienced significant heat generation and short battery durations.
Over the years I have owned several different brands of action cameras including GoPros. For one reason or another I have not been 100% satisfied with any. Either too large, or too difficult to use, or too short on features. When I saw the DJI Action camera I was immediately interested, as I fly DJI drones and been impressed with their features and their cameras. Although I have only used the camera a handful of times, I find it has pretty much everything I was looking for. Small, light, amazing resolution, tough, easily mounted, water-proof as-is to a reasonable snorkeling depth and with optional case, can be taken 3x deeper. When configured properly, there is a learning curve here, it is easy to use. However it is designed as an action camera, and if you intend to film 5+ minute videos you may want,to look elsewhere. At 4k the memory fills quickly and the internal battery lasts maybe 30 minutes, but recharging from the additional video or memory module is simple and transferring videos to that or your smartphone by WiFi is simple. I have typically used 15 second clips, with a few extended to 3-4 minutes. It comes with a magnetic neck strap holder that works great. It. An be setup to start/stop using voice commands or start and record a defined length of time and then shut down with a single press of the easily accessed button. So far very pleased with the device.

Purchased this camera to take with us on vacation trips and it's definitely worth it. The price has dropped considerably so it's worth picking up!

The magnetic quick release feature is a game changer. No need to unscrew the camera from said attachments every time you want to switch up your shots. Haven’t used underwater yet.
