DJI Action 2 Long Term Review | 6 Months Later

This is my long-term review of the DJI Action 2 after using it extensively over the past 6 months. This tiny modular action camera was met with skepticism and negativity when it was launched due to its many limitations that can be frustrating if you want a full action camera. However, this camera has some unique features that make it one of the best POV and wearable cameras on the market and for that, it has become one of my most used cameras when filming content and B-Roll for my KZbin channels. In this video, I go over all the things I love about the DJI Action 2 and a few limiting factors that you should be aware of.

[@Ozpeter]

Very good summary. Note that the extra mics are only on the screen module, not the battery-only module. And the range of audio devices and adapters that can be connected to the USB-C port is considerable. I don't think there's any other camera of any type or price which offers USB-C audio support.

[@Inspirewithdrones3342]

Besides dropping and denting the battery adapter, I’d say the camera is very useful and I agree that it would have been better if they just had the one camera module. Sometimes I find myself just wishing I could just bring that with me without having to worry about the other components. All that said, I don’t regret purchasing it and will continue to use it. Great video also.

[@NewDayOutdoors]

I absolutely love my Action 2. I didn't think I would like it as much as I do. Like you, I don't use it for long recordings. I mainly use it for 15 seconds or less clips. The sabilization is second to none. The video quality is excellent. Image falls apart in low light, unfortunately. But all in all it is great. My one complaint isn't overheating, it is actually when using it in the cold. The screen shuts off when recording in cold temps. Anything below 40F out and the screen will shut down. Very frustrating in the winter months. But yeah it is overall a great little camera.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you again Shawn. This is a great update. I'm just getting used to the Action 2 and am finding it useful.

[@AirPhotography]

Thanks Marcus. I do enjoy using it I find both go pro hero 10 and action 2 Both have their strengths and weaknesses. But I have found myself using my action 2 a little more recently these days. I tend to wear my canera when filming b-roll so I like how it’s not so bulky and heavy however the video quality on the hero 10 is a little better I think

[@MrColdcloud]

Completely agree on the missed opportunity of them selling just the camera itself as a standalone option. Would be more appealing to me to get into the ecosystem and then possibly adding the extras in future.

[@subrec]

except that, as designed, without the battery/screen module, you would have no way to charge or download video since there isn't a USB port on the camera. But I do agree...that would be nice...but so would making the mandatory add-on waterproof like the rest of the "action camera". That may sound like I'm down on the camera, but I'm actually about to purchase one today....just checking updated reviews first.

[@JustinPulitzerTrades]

Any tips on brightening up the video? It looks a bit dark in a lot of reviews.

[@Bellairvideo]

Many thanks for you honest & thorough review. I am tempted to get this as if us on sale on Amazon Australia for A$375 as i would use it alongside my GoPro 10 & Insta G0 2 that i attach cameras to RC aircraft for my youtube channel. The GoPro 10 used for head-cam & larger planes & Go2 for smaller ones, so shooting for only 3-4 min duration on each flight position re the over heating problem, would not be an issue. Di you use a screen protector? Regards & thanks Bellairvideo

[@TopblokeGolf]

Big point you missed is that it’s now a 70 pound cheaper (uk) than it originally sold for

Has anyone managed to find a waterproof housing for this camera that you can use with the magnetic case on? I just got DJIs one and am really disappointed that I'd have to keep taking the case on and off to put it in the waterproof housing.

[@ahmednabikhan6883]

Any idea if DJI is working on the next version i-e Action 3?

[@markr041]

There is no follow-up of the form factor of the Action 2. 3 and 4 are just like GoPro's. But, there is a new version of the Action 2 - with 128GB's of storage in the camera module, at the same price. So, it is a current model, just with a lousy name.

[@martincobb6937]

Wow... The moving footage was terrible.

[@mustlearnmore4884]

I thought the same thing! Very off-putting, as I've been considering buying one of these since it first came out. I already have the Pocket 2, so I might be able to get by with just that as my 'action' cam.

[@martincobb6937]

@@mustlearnmore4884 I have the Action and Pocket and love them both... Glad I didn't pull the trigger on the Action 2. But I have to admit I do throw $$$ at the latest shinny thing.

[@AirPhotography]

I think KZbin compression does have something to do with that. But indeed as mentioned in the video you do get better video from a GoPro. I film with both cameras depending on the situation and what kind of content I need they both have their strengths and weaknesses

[@ForsgardPeter]

I have had it for about 6 months also. Bought it last year in early December. Been very happy so far. The only problem I have had is cold weather. It stops recording when it gets too cold. It does not have to be very cold a few degrees below zero is enough to stop the recording. It is ok for about 15 to 20 minutes, but after that it needs to be warm again.

[@miket1064]

That is typical of batteries in cold weather. The little battery will cool down pretty quickly. This is a battery issue, not a camera issue as such.

[@miket1064]

My comment was in the context of “below zero”. I am also thinking in Fahrenheit not Celsius. I agree 100% that 40 f is. not particularly cold.

[@richardhassinger8827]

You keep saying "little bit" and "quite", sometimes within seconds of already saying it. It gets a little bit annoying quite quickly.

[@AllAboutSpainbyBarryHaylor]

Just another thing, just got a ND 16 they are not safe are they, it pops off so easy, not good at all.

[@TwoFeatherChannel]

Question: What is the time limit of recording until it gets too hot to use? I have the first DJI action cam, the one designed like a Gopro but I like the DJI 2 for it's size would like to know before I purchase it, if I have enough recording time before it gets heated up

[@AralHaykir]

This question. Also, what is the highest quality that you can record if you want to longer without overheating? 1080p120fps for 30min for example?

Great video Shawn! The fact that the camera is a sealed unit and you cannot replace the front cover/ lens cover is a bummer. As a content creator, the size and weight of it are very atttactive. Not to mention the versatility of the magnetic bottom with the various accessories you showed.

[@joematiacio3449]

Tried to buy one from DJI and what a cluster. Was charged, order ship data kept changing until it was out of stock. Cancelled order and was told it was in stock the same day I was notified it was out of stock and same day as I cancelled., DJI couldn't be honest and tell me why it didn't ship. Sour taste with the VERY POOR customer service. Looks like a decent camera but I'll probably just keep rocking my GPro Hero 7.

[@gregstotts1638]

Thanks for the great follow up. I have the action 2 and it works great for me as a helmet/ chest/ and handlebar B-Roll camera. It compliments my RS 4k boost and 360 X2 nicely. You didn't mention that Smallrig also makes some excellent magnetic UV and ND filters for the Action 2. This fact and the Smallrig USB-C charging mount that you showed, were the deciding factors that made this purchase a no-brainer for me. I only use the power mod to download video from the Action 2 to my card, thus freeing up my A2 for more shooting. Love your channel. G

Indeed smallrig actually has quite a few nice accessories

It's available for a pretty good price now, so I've purchased one just now; the insta360 go3 is too expensive for my taste and still not the same image quality. It's odd they didn't market this more against the Go 2 as you say.

[@Ozpeter]

It's power only.

[@korpulian]

As much as I find the idea of "off-you-go-filming" (pick it up and hit record) great, imho the best functionality comes with the Mimo app, which has all the controls and can record live from a distance. You're absolutely not bound to the camera's whereabouts. With a GoPro (and its app), you have to press the button on the camera, or hit record on the app on a blank screen. - My question about the SmallRig: can you download the footage from the camera using the usb-c cable?

[@dennisfrancisco213]

Excellent review, Shawn. I found the Action 2, as you mentioned, great for POV. The magnetic mount allows easy switching between helmet, bike handlebar, and selfie stick. Go Pro may learn from this design and bring back a Session that's lighter in weight. I found my Go Pro 8 is slightly clearer and more colorful than the Action 2, but they are close. DJI sent me a questionnaire about the Action 2, indicating they are interested in improving it. I asked for a small waterproof door as the Session has, to keep a micro SD card and small battery. That would make it the best darn POV camera, period. Thanks for your well-done video, Shawn.

Btw, I got all these new accessories for Action 2 that I'm not even using, remote stick etc... must try my Rode video-mic ii as usb on Action 2, just to look see...

[@RonaldBrown59]

Nice long term review of the Action 2, and I'm glad you have been able make it part of your workflow. I keep thinking I should order one, but I'm not really a POV type shooter, so I don't know what niche it can really fill for me. But I know it's the perfect size for many users, and it's great we have so many choices in small pocket cameras these days. Great video Shawn, and thanks for sharing.

[@wewantpeaceandhappiness6281]

it is recording in H.265 so my mobile and computer is not playing it properly, can we switch from h.265 to h.264?

[@thenikhilray99]

Yes you can use h.264

[@thewindrises]

Thanks for the review. My impression is that you can't really use this camera for extreme sports such as skiing and you have to be gentle with the camera. It seems the recording time is too short with just the body but if you attach the power module to the body then it's more likely you would lose them when you take a fall skiing. If you can only use it when you are walking around, it seems everything Action 2 could do could be done just as good on a phone with a good camera? I've been eyeing on DJI action camera for a while, but I honestly wish they released an upgraded version of the Osmo Action, I would even buy it now if it's priced reasonably, it's too expensive for an old model of a few years old. Any other action cameras you would recommend for recording skiing, hiking, tennis ?

[@SniperPFL]

With Prime days on while I write this, I find myself thinking the same thing; can't my Galaxy S22Ultra do the same damn thing? Maybe even better?

[@martincossette3025]

It was 250$ off on Prime Days in Canada last week. After playing with it for a week, it is excellent for biking footage. It came with a case from DJI and I got a third party screens protectors. It sustained its first tumble on the bike yesterday. I forgot to put the pin back (i use my GoPros accessories with it) and it detached itself the first jump I took. Nothing happened. Maybe I'm just lucky. But so far, it feels sturdy. If the magnetic clipping system feel too insecure at some point, i might get one of those cage which wrap the whole camera with a GoPro connector.

[@عقليةصالحصالح]

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ForjdAmerica]

This camera is anything but "Action". This camera is great... in theory. It's just not ready for prime time. $600 for a camera that overheats 5 minutes into filming at 4K 60 fps leaves this at amateur level. The mics are weak as well. We filmed a firearms training video and the gunshot from a 9mm completely destroyed the mics. Pure static now. That's not a game changer. since we use external audio I just hate hearing it when in post editing. The Osmo Action 1 is a beast compared to this. If it would work as it was intended it would be great. It was basically a complete failure for us at the beach shoot we did last month. We needed slow mo up close surfing footage and within 10 minutes the camera was useless. I had to put it in a cooler for 15 minutes just to be able to use it again for 5-10 minutes. I really wanted to love this camera but it's basically an overpriced B- roll camera.

Is this camera still worth the purchase in late 2022 going into 2023? Or would you suggest waiting for the Action 4?

I am looking for a small camera with the magnets that has slightly longer run time and storage options than the Insta360 GO 2. I love my GO 2 I just wish it had more storage and at least 5 more mins of run time before it over heats and cuts off. But, I have learned to record shorter clips and I love the fact that it has its own battery case.

[@gamingvariation1323]

Honestly i just bought and from what I can tell it is a lot better than 360 Being able to use the versatility of a small action camera which can record for an hour by itself, and then boost it with the screen module or battery module whilst also transferring and adding ssd storage is on another level. For my part, I honestly think it’s awesome, and a nice addition to the osmo 1
