Maybe you have to install a new firmware and get the 4K 120fps!

[@Young360]

yeah, you are right. i just did that :p

[@caperider1160]

Magnetic mount will not work on carbon or aluminum bikes anyway. It would be nice to come up with sturdy straps with non-slip backings, possibly with some vibration damping for mounting onto creative positions on a bike.

[@Young360]

Please let me know if you have any questions on DJI Action 2 !

[@KaioshinAemi]

I want to know if the camera fall off when you wear it on your shirt? I do lots of running exercise, I need to know ASAP. Why DJi give only 32gb internal storage when 128gb is more fit in real life? Stop being cheap on storage DJi, more storage is not that expensive to put in this camera.

[@Ozpeter]

@@KaioshinAemi DJI advise that the pendant mount should be used for "leisure activities" rather than sport. But it does hold on remarkably well. It has holes for a lanyard so it wouldn't be hard to add a 'safety chain' to it.

[@fooddweller]

Does it overheated??? As many people are complaining and Amazon reviews also say that it’s very bad

Excellent review but I’ll stick with the original for now, it will be discounted in the New Year😀👍

[@campchoi]

Horizon steady mode is only active 2.7k below 60fps with 16:9 mode, it is real weird.

[@Young360]

ohhhhh i see. thanks. that is WEIRD indeed!!!

[@Ozpeter]

Not weird if you think about it. The image is being rotated 360 degrees on a 4:3 sensor, so when the camera is at 90 degrees you can't get 4K out of it. Laws of physics.

[@campchoi]

@@Ozpeter Pretty sure and fully understand, but we still need 4K 90 degrees also without face bending, I believe it can be resolved with a firmware upgrade. Thanks your explanation:)

[@psoon04286]

There’s been quite a few early mixed reviews on the Action 2 that caught my eye but you’d seem to touch on the real world situation that I’m more concerned about like the strength of the magnet connection, the zooming and the stabilization. Will be looking forward to your next more detailed video on this Action 2 and the accessories. Thanks👍👍

[@toronto-properties]

The Camera itself and quality is really good……BUT It FELL OFF from the magnetic Lanyard from just moderate activity of riding a bicycle. And with such incredible luck… it FELL exactly when I was crossing a small wooden bridge and right into the river water 😭😭😭 So, now I still have the front camera module and all the other accessories. So should I sell those parts or maybe wait for a sale and get another…. Unfortunately, they don’t just sell the camera unit itself. Also, I am not sure if I have the confident in it anymore. It branded as an action camera and the magnetic lanyard function was one of the driving feature which attracted me for the purchase. If it cannot handle the role of an action camera, they should put a big disclaimer saying the magnetic lanyard CAN ONLY BE USE for slowly walking and have a high chance of falling off with activities!! So I am pretty about that and how DJI advertise it as an action camera and with footage of its use with the lanyard being able to handle rigorous activities. Anyway, perhaps I should just sell the Dual Screen module and get a GoPro instead. As I said early on, the camera quality is very good but don’t rely on it as an action camera. DJI should take out that lanyard magnetic option to help others avoid the loss that I experienced with just moderate activities.

[@Young360]

Sorry to hear your horrible loss of the module... i totally agree with you on DJI should have put a disclaimer. i think thats why they are going back to gopro like design/osmo action design for the upcoming Action3 on 14 Sept 2022

[@ScottsReviews]

I did my review of the Action 2 vs Go2 and I love the image quality of the Action a lot more. I even like the pics it takes. I look forward to hearing what you think.

[@robinwong]

There is NO optical zoom, please.

[@wildlifeexpedition9720]

It feels hot because Aluminum transfer heat from the electronics components to outside, it's bad for you but good for the camera. The problem is plastic that is insulator and keep the components cooking inside the camera.

[@frednsound]

Amazing Video, Thank you

[@snake_eyes_garage]

I just got the SmallRig case - highly recommend it so far. I didn't realize that the case / shell has magnets built in and fits very well. I wish it came in black however - it is grey which is alright.

[@pettypoh]

i have both the action2 and go2 as well .. to be frank, i think the go2 is a lot more fun to use (especially for beginners), but both are really good action cams. glad the camera tech is improving so much. waiting to see your comparison video. for voice command, i think need to enunciate "starT" and "stoP" very clearly =)

[@Young360]

[@MrTango503]

[@FaisalDakhilBabylon]

I wanted DJI action 2 to have their old camera (action 1) body with an upgraded processor, lens, battery, and so on. This is because people like me who daily do high-intensity activities, such as cycling and stuff, won't be comfortable using this DJI Action 2. For example, I attach this Action 2 to my bike, but if any kind of bump comes on the road, the Action 2 might detach from its magnet and I won't even know about it, cuz I will be in high speed riding my bike....hence, a big action cam body like GoPro is highly recommended.

[@ricardourroz9322]

Good review, however... in my opinion the only thing the insta go2 is competition it´s in size. I think a more fair comparison would be with the Gopro 10.

[@douglasdavis4413]

I think if the power combo included the ball joint mount I would get that instead of insta360 go 2. However Black Friday deal allows for the Go 2 64 gb an extra lens protector and power mount adapter for $310. Anyone have input.... Action 2 or Go 2. I really don't care about the front facing screen on A 2, but like the idea of added microphones.

[@jessetaylor4081]

The fair review we need! Lookign at comparison videos, I still like the image quality and stabilization on the Action 2 compared to GP and insta360.

So, others are dishonest and don't pay for cameras they review. A headline like yours will definitely change that, if it weren't for those commercial amazon-links in the description. You really are riding this hype-wave, aren't you... So, no!

[@Young360]

i never said others are dishonest.. dont put words into my mouth... i also get sponsored videos for other products too.

[@bladerealm124]

Is there any way to use the Action 2 for extended periods with the power module and "high" heat mode? Once it overheats and you swap a new power module or dual screen in does it "reset" the overheating or is it the main unit that needs time to cool down? Does an aluminum case dissipate heat at all? I'd like to use to for 1+ hour sessions, even if it means swapping in a new power module. If it's unable to I'll likely go with the hero10 + Enduro batteries.

[@Young360]

if you use it on a moving vehicle, as to have great ventilation to cool down the camera, you can use it for a long time.
