DJI Action 2 - PROBLEM SOLVED!

[@km-po8se]

Thanks!

[@junchaya]

Does this camera still have overheating issues?

[@magusonline]

Found your channel months ago while trying to decide on the Acton 2 vs GoPro 10. Finally subbed, just watching your old videos. You give random knockoff brands a shot. Love it!

[@DavidManningvlog]

Stoked you're here Philip! Yeah man, sometimes those random knockoff brands produce a killer product! Love when that happens!

[@gordoncahill1170]

UV filters were an actual thing in the film days, especially at altitude. On film it was difficult to cut light to certain parts of the spectrum. Most digital sensors are already filtered at the sensor coverglass for UV and IR so adding a UV filter is like adding a clear filter. There are still a few specialised sensors without UV coatings for specialised applications.

[@insighteins1317]

What about the OTHER issues of the Action2?

[@lanamarie1092]

Are these good for rollerblading

[@AmesWay]

Which nd filter do you have on during the skateboarding clip?

[@rhyansanpedro]

I can't understand how DJI missed the opportunity to put a knock out punch by simply listening to go pro owners complaining about issues they were having their cams and build that cam. The original OA I think is still the best value action cam for most users if you can still find one for sale. I still use mine and I just works. Nice vid as always David!

[@Ozpeter]

The orignal is indeed great - I dropped mine 50 foot onto concrete and it was still running unscratched - but for people like me who cannot hold a camera horizontal to save their life, lack of horizon levelling is the big drawback.

[@rhyansanpedro]

@@Ozpeter Yeah gotta agree the horizon levelling is definitely a feature that is handy and wished my OA1 had.

[@harrishuntTV]

I thought "problem solved" here was referring to the official protective case from DJI. Been looking around if there are tests already.

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

Awesome! Absolutely buying these right now, UV and day bright pack. Not having anything in the front of this cam makes me so nervous.

[@KaioshinAemi]

How about putting a clear sticky screen protector like cellphone screen protector.

[@caveirarj]

Ya, gorilla glass is here for that. I thought the same since the very beginning. I have it, since the first day, on my GoPro4 Silver, on lens and back screen. And I don't get why this was never mentioned. Cellphones don't have "replaceable" screens too, so people protect it.

[@DavidManningvlog]

That’s absolutely an option, BUT I would warn that the stick in lens covers are not optical glass. Plus they gave adhesive for them to mount. So you’re now taking non-optical quality glass and a layer of adhesive and putting that in front of your lens. If picture quality isn’t a huge deal, then I would say go for it. For sure better than nothing! But if picture quality is a priority, then avoid the adhesive and go for magnets👍

[@caveirarj]

@@DavidManningvlog I never notice a difference on my GoPro since then. Safe and sound. There's also SmallRig case for it already that protects both parts all around.

[@jc171177]

it seems that when you would need the "protection lens" will be during action and motion and you stated that this is when you cant really use it because the stabilization will screw up?

[@DavidManningvlog]

That’s where the UV filter comes in. UV filters are completely clear👍

[@juliansaunders6163]

Can any one help. Before I buy one of these can it be paired to a TV. I want to be able to watch my vids straight from camera onto the TV if possible ?

[@dimitrimoonlight]

Ok what about over heating issue?

[@itsCamboZ]

Which one is best Hero go pro 10 vs dji action 2 dual screen

[@DavidManningvlog]

I'm a fan of the Hero 10 just for how I use action cams. I think the Action 2 has some really good use cases though, just not great for how I use them. Quality wise though, they're both about equally good👍

[@itsCamboZ]

Ohk

[@Jareknphotography]

Careful cause I picked up set of ND filters but now the camera with the filter on does not fit into my Ulanzi metal cage :( Gonna see if I can shave the sides of the ND filters to make em fit...

[@DavidManningvlog]

Is the cage that tight around the front face of the camera? I had a GoPro cage where I had to have the ND filter off to get it in the cage, but once in the cage, I could get the ND filter on. Then when I wanted to take the GoPro out, I would have to remove the ND filter first. That possible on your setup?

[@Jareknphotography]

@@DavidManningvlog yes it is way too tight, shaving the sides of the filter doesn't look like an option, so gonna take the cage to local shop to see if we can shave the inside off a bit to fit it in.

[@Zaiithaan]

What about overheating

[@LBrushane]

How is the sound with the UV-filter on? Does it cover the microphone?

[@povfootball7669]

Hi I bought the camera a few days ago, and saw that it empties irrationally, and also heats up very much, is it possible to fix it or do something that it will work, it really sucks

[@EnnTomi1]

Can you use it with the tiltacage ?

[@sirgigolo]

Is he saying DGI? what about the overheating? Is that still an issue?

[@darylkotze548]

Will this still work with the Small rig cage on?

[@doodieman4009]

Now it comes with a protective case already, right? Solves issues better

[@worldcityview9309]

Halo Sir, I just bought a DJI Action 2 & have some issues. Only about 3 minutes recording then automatically stop. I did factory reset then just about 6 minutes recording automatically stop & the warning text is "automatically stop due to overheating". Also the chest necklace magnet is upsidedown to put the camera. I tried any possibilities to put DJI camera properly but it is still a bit weird. Please help & advise. It will be nice if you can make & upload solution KZbin video for these problem. Thank you very much.

[@eprohoda]

David. Thanks- gorgeeous job, 💫

[@DavidManningvlog]

Thanks Prohodaction! I appreciate that man!

[@1981kidkamelot]

Where can I get the UV filter?

[@DavidManningvlog]

Looks like it's out of stock on their site right now. I would keep checking though for an update. If I hear any updates on it, I'll let you know👍

[@stefpix]

fixed lens cover removes chanses of leaks or condensation under the glass. A magnetic UV filter solves the problem and keeps the same level of water resistance. For actovities with risk of impact you can use some gaffer tape to secure the edge of the magnetic filter to the Action 2 . maybe there is some silicone sleeve available soon for that too.

[@jendemar5088]

Do you have recommendations for a beginner DJI drone? I’m having a hard time choosing which one to purchase and it will be my first drone

[@RobSambles]

Great video! All the best KZbin channels made a video about these Freewell filters 😉

[@DavidManningvlog]

Did you make one already??! Rob, you keep beating me to all these videos!

[@DavidManningvlog]

I'm on Premiere Pro right now, but trying to make the switch over the holidays to FCPX. Wish me luck!

Hi Dave 🙋

Abhijeet in the house!👋

[@PhillyDroneLife]

I've been using this action 2 add a go pro killer for all my fpv drones. Bro at 86grams you just can't beat this camera. Although it was a little pricy. Ugh lol. Thanks for a cool video my friend. 💙💙 Mikey

[@DavidManningvlog]

You have any protection on that lens? FPV is a scary world for a cam without a lens cover😬

[@PhillyDroneLife]

@@DavidManningvlog lol. No cover bud lol. I like living Dangerously. Lol. Hey if you don't crash it's all good . Lol. I've been using this a ton on the DJI FPV BIRD. loving the extra wide fov. WOWZERS... 👍👍👍 Mikey

[@xr680r]

If DJI is listening - make a rugged, water proof action camera out of the new Mavic 3 - micro 4/3's camera set up. The dynamic range for 🏄‍♂️ surf, 🌞 sun and ❄ snow would be much appreciated.

[@DavidManningvlog]

That would be a super dope camera!

[@JepsOutdoorAdventures]

Dont forget, they also make a waterproof case for the cam and extra pack!

[@DavidManningvlog]

Totally, but then you lose all audio on the camera 😑

[@stefpix]

@@DavidManningvlog maybe there are chaper aftermarket dive cases, you could drill holes in the dive case where the microphones are. you would have an impact resistant cage for activities where the camera can fall and have harsh impacts.

[@billimono4480]

The only thing holds me back is that I heard it would overheat pretty quick - is that still true?

[@zooooooooooooooooooooooooo9533]

Another helpful video. Thanks for this! Excited to use my Action 2!

[@arizkyhelmi]

would buy this shit!

[@jamesyates9057]

Finally, someone brought up a solution in the middle of all the whining. Looks good!

[@Ozpeter]

Having watched a number of reviews of these filters, and having had to comment on them to point out that they can seriously mess with the EIS, and that the UV filter is a good way to give a measure of protection to the lens - now you've gone and said all that in your proper review and I've not nothing left to say. Except... the UV filter is I think square, and it makes the camera look that much less like a camera. So if you want to wear it and not look like you are going round making a video of everything and everybody, then the UV filter does help lower the profile of the camera. And it shouldn't mess with the EIS, as you say.

[@Rcschim]

First I thought this will be a quite shallow review, only telling us to use the "Andy"-filters for protection, but the you explained it well. While flying my drone with the filters I didn't notice a lot of stabilization issues, but just holding it I saw some jitters... My video will be out today, greets, Mario

[@scottpiggott7600]

Love the Freewell! Do they make a lenses for Sony Rx-100? The Mag Filter I bought sticks out from the edge of my lense so it gets bumped off, hitting the ground a lot!. Sucks! I would love one like Freewell that's more flush with the edge of the lense.

[@PepsyTV]

7:21 - pewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[@rileythornton8266]

Interested to know about the protective case too, will wait for your feedback on that

[@aladdinnyc]

very helpful thanks!

[@popeyerubi1981]

I’d use the UV filter all the time to keep the stabilization. Most users of this camera need it as action camera, so no need for the cinematic motion.

[@kylethompson7254]

Man this transition of you appearing on the screen was quite cool. Also sorry for the comment spam on the last couple videos. Was on a road trip and missed the last 3 so I’m catching up 😎

[@MsoMalakand]

I needed DJI Action 2 for vlogging video

[@ericfoley3077]

Right, there must be a workaround somehow. Although I actually didnt have any major issues

[@JohnMRunk]

The irony is that, if you're not moving your camera much, you're not likely to need protection. So, really, the filters don't offer much (beyond their shutter-speed benefits).

[@yycdrones]

Great video David! Super helpful and informative - great solution to the fixed lens haha

"The United States has added drone maker DJI and seven other Chinese companies to an investment blacklist, raising even more pressure on businesses in the world's second largest economy. The US Treasury Department announced Thursday that it has placed investment restrictions on the firms due to their roles in facilitating human rights abuses against China's Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang and other ethnic and religious minorities."

[@PrestonGladd]

What does this have to do with ND filters?

[@takosan87]

sry but an action cam with no exchangeable lens is a fail, nothing learned from their own product osmo action or the go pro that failed because it hat also no changeable cover. Stupidity and greed must be high in dji these days, hoping that customers will accept it this time after they did not when go pro tried that same move.

[@bonieboy]

does anyone really order those shirts... i already dont wanna watch this video ...

[@davidxu337]

DJI Action 2 will be over heated and shut down after 4 minutes, when record 4K 120fp, take a while for camera to back to work, gopro 10 can take 4k 240fp without a problem.
