DJI ACTION 2 - How to Setup the Action 2

[@jrm8206]

Is there any sort of security on that 'Network the device is pushing out"? 3:51 Can anyone just connect to the camera if they have the app installed? Missing some crucial information on connectivity in this video.

[@bkackman]

Terrific overview. The manual (hard and digital) is so inadequate providing menu locations and picks. This video gave outstanding and easy to follow operation and menu information. Great job and thank you.

[@maxdeniel]

After 3 years of this video being realized, still very useful. Thanks for the video bro.

[@Yorkie-9668]

Returned mine, sadly the option to use the TEMP High is not available in the UK, Geofencing apparently, pointless release from DJI if it cannot be used as an Action Camera!

[@marcw6072]

Thanks for mentioning this Yorkie. I am from the UK as well and what you posted is what has stopped me from getting one. Shame as I was looking forward to the release so disappointing.

[@Yorkie-9668]

@@Chuck8541 Not too sure it is just the UK, I do believe it is the whole of the EU too, there was another YT video advising people in Europe not to buy the Action 2, wish I'd seen it before I bought mine

[@openroadtravels181]

What’s temp high?

[@Yorkie-9668]

@@openroadtravels181 On non UK/EU models there is an option to ignore the high temp turning the camera off, if is greyed out on the UK/EU models so they will turn off as soon as they get hot

[@chlbtn]

Also, this camera does not work with the Samsung Galaxy 21

[@SpectrumInsights]

Dang, I wish I saw this video when I got mine. I spent a lot of time trying to figure how to get the firmware. DJI's instruction video was not working. Your video was so much better and easier than the steps I took to figure it all out. great videos, very helpful for new owners like me, thank you!

[@FlytPath]

Glad to help

[@chrisboyce4222]

just bought the Action 2 after seeing your review and now watching this and setting it up. You are amazing and thorough, thank you so much from Chris in Perth, Australia:)

[@JimFlanneryDRONES]

I always like your TO THE POINT reviews! They're well put together and don't take up all my minutes. :D

[@petrix4]

Seems od, you don't tell, if it is possible to connect the camera and the battery module and charge them both at the same time? or not?

[@ManShed]

It is possible. I just always just connect the two modules and plug the bottom one in and they both charge. The battery/second screen module will charge first and then the main unit/camera will charge.

[@Ozpeter]

I don't know where he got the idea of charging the base, and then discharging it into the camera. Just charge both together, and you end up with a fully charged system.

[@petrix4]

@@Ozpeter Thank you. that makes a lot more sense ;-)

[@dougcooper4917]

Excellent Tutorial Video Aldryn! Well Done!! First Video That I Have Seen Where You Can Clearly See The Set Up!! Thank You!!

[@FlytPath]

Glad it was helpful!

[@artstech]

I'm surprised there is no rubber grommet to cover up the SD card slot and USB port. I understand that DJI want us to only use the camera module for "action" footage but dust can still accumulate over time in the battery module. Not too smart if you ask me.

[@tonixpto1]

How time does it need to full charge the extended battery?

[@larrywolf2417]

Great Video thanks, one thing i ran into was pairing. I had to uninstall my current mimo and reinstall it. Smooth sailing after that..

[@deTOUR_PH]

Thanks Aldryn for this wonderful video, ingat!

[@agentspion]

Another great video Aldryn! Keep it up.

[@jeremyk2740]

Hey Aldryn thanks for another informative video. I have the dual screen combo. Is there no way to turn the front screen off when not needed or are both screens always on when the module is attached? I would like to save battery by only using one seen at a time. So far it seems like battery life sucks.

[@briannowaye]

such a good channel! AMAZING video, the only videos that actually helped me decide!

[@FlytPath]

[@Ozpeter]

[@Think_Bike]

Great video, I have mine set to PRO and on latest firmware but can not see the Microphone setting icon?

[@kksydesweskety2227]

Finally just a paid hype review. Getting sick of the influencer crowd selling out and hiding obvious flaws. Keep being real and honest. Followers appreciate it.

[@spirittravels.]

is it ok to charge the battery with the camera module attached? Or must you charge the battery first then add it? Then further charge it to top up the base power??

[@Ghost_Of_FPV_1151]

When you are recording on the camera itself and you want to make more room on the camera once you click in power bank or the additional screen, can you transfer those files over to that SD card to make more room on the camera itself or does it need to be connected at all times?

[@jeffsancricca7041]

The video showed a firmware update. In the release notes it states: Optimized power consumption to reduce overheating. Does this take care of the overheating issue that every KZbinr has mentioned ad nauseam?

[@arupdas4237]

Thanks. Found it very useful. 👌🏻

[@timmyturner6996]

Cool! Ready for Action!

[@ajiz425]

What charger you use for the action 2? Is it safe to charge action 2 with mavic mini charger?

[@Shiftandride]

The wind noise reduction option is not there in my action 2 power combo..

[@TrainactionSonnmatt]

Good morning I am not sure but is it correct that this cam can not record without wide angle? I need a cam to take recordings in standard angle. Thank you very much for an answer and kind regards from Switzerland Thom

[@schlingelgen]

Is this camera able to record 4K with every fov? Or am I loosing quality when using a smaller one?

[@louie081]

Does the temperature increase when recording on high resolution or in any?

[@mcbiofa]

Hi, is there a 'one button record' option like in GoPro? It's the functionality that permit to keep the camera off and switch on and start recording with one click of the button...thank you!

[@akarshs9552]

What is the benefit of dual display?

[@tannerjim]

I am connected to the Action 2 via their wifi SSID. I was expecting the system to then prompt me to change over to my home wifi....but it never does. How can I be online and check for firmware updates, if it only allows me to connect to the camera via the camera's wifi? Please help. :)

[@Demelo_Online]

Hello there, very usefull this video.I have an issue.When i am doing videos with the screen only without the module the sound isnt recorded.I dont thing its onboard microphones problem, i think its something on the settings.May do you know what it is? Thanks in advance and Greetings from Greece 🙂

[@eri7-11]

[@mikemarsland3156]

Might be just me but when I rotate the action 2 with the screen attached and orientation unlocked it still doesn't switch the format of the screen when you lay the camera horizontally rather than vertically. Have you found this or is it just my unit.

[@noelrogeliosupetran486]

What is best power combo or dual screen?

[@FlytPath]

I like dual screen

[@jocelynlunaesparza3852]

does it have portrait mode to shoot vertical?

[@afanadorcarlos]

Great video, a question: this camera, with the sd card loaded will record in both memories (internal and sd) when one get fully ocupied? or just internal or sd, it would be great if there were a chance to record in both storages without stop to change the choice. Thanks

[@FlytPath]

Card in only in second module. Main mod only has internal memory.

[@altair_de_sevens]

Can I charge Action 2 while recording?

[@tonysimon8060]

One question tho! If you are using the camera without the additional screen or battery and you run out of storage, can you then attach the screen or battery and dump the files onto the sd card on the attachment? Or if you fill the camera up you are pretty much screwed and need to use it with the attachment? I mean 22gb for the 4K 120 fps they gloat so much is just kinda stupid in my opinion, if you can move the files onto the additional sd card on the go then it is not that bad, I mean I just want to use the camera without the attachments but not run out of storage after a couple of minutes of recording.

[@EricCrofut]

How long does it take to save internal storage to SD card?

They dropped the ball a little on this for my use case. I'd want to just use the main module attached to my helmet and plugged into an external battery. What they should have done is allow you to plug a usb into the mount and have the ability to add the SD card to the main module. This would mean I could have a smaller more lightweight camera for my helmet rather than having to use both modules.
