Great video mate

[@GetBusyLiving]

Cheers Gav, hope you are well mate 👍

[@Hiroshi-xl1vp]

👏🏼 great job.

[@GetBusyLiving]

Thanks Hiroshi 1198! 👍

[@WeretheRoberts]

man, it's good to see you out and about again like this... Very good review of the magnet and cool truck! only issue is your steering wheel isn't on the right side.... Or is it? hmmmm The video quality seemed really good and stable also so it handled the bumps really well.... Cool stuff... Ciao! hahaha

[@GetBusyLiving]

Thanks man! Yeah we are slowly getting restrictions lifted here, more announcements coming from the government this week. Things like restaurants, picture theatres and hair dressers are still shut however. Thanks! I love my truck. Pretty sure the steering wheel is in the right place for now ha ha. Yeah overall pretty impressed with the Action 2 so far I must say! Thanks for your ongoing support and continuing to tune in, even for the non Mini 2 stuff 🙏👏

[@WeretheRoberts]

@@GetBusyLiving haha. I couldn’t tell the haircut places are still closed. Lol

[@johnford3825]

Brave. I think I would look for a secondary safeguard like a tether to the door handle. If it did fall off then it would still be hanging from the truck and not lost on the road.

[@GetBusyLiving]

Yeah it did cross my mind, but I was in a bit of a rush 🤣

[@Ozpeter]

A couple of thoughts - there's a lanyard attachment hole on the camera itself - if I were taking a risk with it I would try to use that in some way to attach a safety line to it, tethered to something inside the car. Then if it came off, it would simply dangle. Second, with car bodywork, the manufacturers would die rather than have any of it actually flat, so the flat magnet surface may not make full contact with the curvy bodywork. Great tests though - brave man!

[@GetBusyLiving]

Thanks mate. Yeah I did think of that and I actually do have some tethers, but I was in a bit of a rush! Alls well that ends well though huh!? 🤣

[@NightowlTrucking]

Wow! I thought it was going to pop right off when he closed the door…Lol.

[@GetBusyLiving]

Ha ha nope it held firm!

[@NightowlTrucking]

Excellent demonstration, it answered my specific questions. I’m planning to use one of these to help with backing up a semi truck, it’s impossible to see on one side of the trailer and a camera like this would be perfect, just slap it on the side-rear of the trailer, get back in and back up to the dock. Thank you for making this video!

[@GetBusyLiving]

@@NightowlTrucking You're very welcome! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment!

[@Atsf1976]

Good video buddy. If you mounted that ball head on something, is there a way to rotate that as you drive without getting out of your car to move the angle?

[@GetBusyLiving]

Yeah there would be if I could reach it

[@oscr_zen]

I was looking for that test! thx! however here where I live in eastern europe - a pothole in the first 100m of a road would snatch that little thing in a split of a second haha

[@GetBusyLiving]

Ha ha ravecoin, you're probably right mate!

[@uett917]

Nice Video

[@GetBusyLiving]

Thanks Uett! 👍

[@kinocchio]

Such a pretty town

[@GetBusyLiving]

Yes we are very lucky :-)

[@LANDSEAAIRCANADA]

Most excellent ! looking forward to receiving ours arriving Tomorrow ! Thanks M > Like 64

[@GetBusyLiving]

Thanks LAND SEA AIR CANADA! 👍 Have fun!!

[@Mike_Benz_]

My question is how were you filming the camera on the car door? and was your other hand under that camera in case it fell too? And then my other question would be, who was steering the car?

[@GetBusyLiving]

The truth is I have a team of 16 people help me make these videos. They were doing it all. Ha ha but seriously I had a GoPro attached up front on an even MORE precarious set up filming this ha ha. And oh yeah I was steering 😬

[@thedrivebygg]

Great video, interesting that it will stick to the side of the car. I would be really interested to know how well the head strap works for filming inside the car and the magnetic ball joint on the outside of the car again 👍. I’m thinking of buying one for my own channel

[@GetBusyLiving]

The headstrap would be good for a FPV inside the car - however I don't have one. I have ordered a magnetic ball joint - I think the magnet will be great on that, I will have to test it when I get it 👍

[@thedrivebygg]

@@GetBusyLiving would appreciate that, have you had any overheating yet

[@GetBusyLiving]

@@thedrivebygg No mate I haven't had any issues. I mean it does get hot, but it doesn't fail or stop.

[@thedrivebygg]

@@GetBusyLiving ok awesome, might buy one then, have a great Christmas buddy

[@GetBusyLiving]

@@thedrivebygg Cheers mate - you too!

[@stuartlennox66]

Damn!!! I was expecting some excitement and a few tears, what a disappointment 😂😂😂

[@GetBusyLiving]

Ha ha sorry to disappoint you mate! 🤣

[@NatesEscape]

I would have tied a string around it... You get to see if it'd drop off and you'd also save the camera if it fell 😁 I use a string even with my suction mounts

[@GetBusyLiving]

Yeah mate I have those tethers too, but I was reasonably sure it was going to be ok. Phew!

[@TheOtherPhotoGuy]

Ah that reflection off the hood (much of your audience will be like ‘what’s a bonnet?’ haha) was causing some confusion with the horizon hey.

[@GetBusyLiving]

Yeah mate it was a bit weird - ah you're right, it was the reflection - I was trying to figure out what was happening but you've hit the nail on the head! Ha ha yeah you're right about the bonnet/hood thing 🤣

[@fpvdronie9276]

Best is to put the extra magnet necklaces mount on it , that's even more stable

[@GetBusyLiving]

Great idea - thanks for that!

[@mistyme3607]

Your facial expression was great!! The depression in your eyes was killing me!!!

[@GetBusyLiving]

Ha ha thanks Misty & Me 360!🤣

[@twn2rbo]

I put a cage on my Action 2 then used the GoPro suction cup , holds up to 140mph winds even though it says 120 lol

[@GetBusyLiving]

Nice!

[@FabioMotos]

Is it possible to put a security lanyard directly on the camera?

[@GetBusyLiving]

Yes there is a little lanyard hole

[@JackMihoff6969]

Did it not overheat right away? I can’t seem to record more than 5 mins before it shuts down and this is using it on the magnetic lanyard while cycling.

[@GetBusyLiving]

Hmm, nope, I mean it gets really warm, you might say hot, but it didn't stop recording.

[@JackMihoff6969]

@@GetBusyLiving interesting. Mine consistently shuts down at around 5-7 min mark with only 1080p 60fps Rocksteady on and this was cycling at night. Saw other people with very similar experience so not sure if it's a bug on the CPU on some models overloading or what.

[@nigelwiffen6743]

OMG Mike........................................................CIAO #NOOOOOO Lol. Love these vids just testing stuff but there not seem to be a def thunk when cam attach to car not like when attach to the adapter. I would be very wary of just hanging it on side of car lol. A fab vid non the less except for the ciao. Anyway Ciao for now lmfao .

[@GetBusyLiving]

Ha ha thanks mate. Yeah the thunk was due to the hollow door I guess. Seemed pretty solid! Thanks mate, more to come 👍

[@harrychufitness]

nice test. @12:13 "did i really say ciao" lol. ....nice clickbait thumbnail- I was waiting 12minutes for it to fall off. ....also, I DO trust the magnetic adapter with clips, but not just the magnet by itself. ...I've surfed with the standalone camera module w/clips adapter and lanyard backup whilst surfing, and it held up surprisingly with constant crashing waves. ps- dji care refresh works great and water damaged power module replacement arrived in 5 days time to USA/Hawaii. ....still waiting on those 3rd party accessories, as the camera battery by itself doesn't last long for my needs. ...I hope a new firmware fixes the portrait leveling when mounted sideways. ....

[@GetBusyLiving]

Thanks mate - always good comments and summary from you! Was your damaged power module in the case?

[@harrychufitness]

@@GetBusyLiving No mate, it was not in a case because the waterproof case is not out until end November. Lesson learned- I was treating it like a GoPro lol

[@GetBusyLiving]

@@harrychufitness Oh, did you not know the power module wasn't waterproof, or you thought you would try it anyway?

[@harrychufitness]

@@GetBusyLiving oh, I totally knew it wasn’t waterproof but got caught up in the action Getting a shot of the girl lol. Water poured out from the USB slot onto my beach towel and that’s when I realized what happened! 😳 I salvaged one picture and one video from the internal via Mimo app, then battery died. I couldn’t wait to get my video uploaded, so that sequence was stuck on the camera when I sent it back. It also corrupted my 64gb microsd in the process. … i’m sure some tech repair person is getting a laugh from internal footage left on it. LOL. …and no, the footage didn’t come back, so had to reshoot. …good times! ~

[@GetBusyLiving]

@@harrychufitness Oh man!! You crack me up Harry! 🤣

[@ManBikeSwag]

at the 4:58 mark, you are just creating 2 points of possible failure instead of just one.

[@GetBusyLiving]

I did that so you don't have to 🤣

[@ThePa1nterhowto]

I purchased action 2, tried to use it for a vlog but that magnetic system sucks, took it back and purchased the osmo action. Problems solved

[@GetBusyLiving]

That's unfortunate - it's the magnetic system that most people seem to like about the Action 2. Anyway, the Osmo Action is a great camera too - I mainly use that for vlogging too.

[@EvertClancy]

Come to test on Indian Roads full of Pot Holes 🕳

[@GetBusyLiving]

Ha ha no way I'd be sure to lose it then!
