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.

[@maxdeniel]

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

[@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.

[@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

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

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

[@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 ;-)

[@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?

[@briannowaye]

[@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. :)

[@akarshs9552]

[@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!

[@iantheinventor8151]

The clocks just went forward an hour & I can’t see how to alter the time, just checked the manual online & don’t see any mention of altering the time. 🤔

[@carr16k]

What is that auto function of the hyperlapse. Is it similar to the go pro where the hyperlapse slows down at certain point of the video?

[@RetireYoungAndCheap]

I have a wearable camera now and I use it for photos mainly. It has the ability to constantly take photos 2sec, 5sec, 10sec apart and will continue until I stop it. Does this camera have the ability to do that?

I am stuck at getting the DJI MIMO App on to my Samsung Galaxy A23 5G. How do I do it?

[@timmyturner6996]

Cool! Ready for Action!

[@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.

[@louie081]

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

[@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 🙂

[@billc7765]

Does swiping the screen work if its wet? Surfing, kayak, yada, yada.

[@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.

[@kanehi]

Both module has a microSD card slot. Can you place a microSD card in each module and work in tandem? Great review.

Good tutorial Aldryn.

[@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.

[@jocelynlunaesparza3852]

does it have portrait mode to shoot vertical?

[@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.

[@jaynus08]

Dude have you reach out to DJI if they are already working on the firmware fix for the overheating issue of Action?

[@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?

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.

[@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.

Love your videos. Keep them coming. Question. I purchased the action 2. After using the action 1 and using the rode wireless go, they went perfect together. Now with the 2 the rode go doesn’t work. Do you know if they will make an adapter for the rode or do they have to invest in the wireless go 2? Or even the DJi wireless mic. Love to hear your thoughts.

@@truthseeker6804 i know it’s called an action camera. It doesn’t feel like one. I’m not the only one who thinks like this. Considering I have most of the products of DJI I can assure you this modular camera is not going to be a successful “Action Camera”

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.

Is this going to be like Apple, where the updates slow your device down. If so how long will it last before the slow down starts and will this be a device that will not work without constantly updating or can you just use it like a stand alone device 🤔 Edited: and just incase you think I'm being odd with my questions. After seeing a country being banned to do business etc... keep in mind where most things are made. Anyway make Stand Alone Tech great again 🙄

[@ミリオンサーフ]

session 5 is still far better that has better battery life and SD card built in. I purchased this hoping to replace session 5 for my surfing POV but fully disappointed with such a low battery life and really easy to mis-use. Action 2 is somehow suddenly becomes photo mode from video mode when you frequently start and stop recording. The lock screen to avoid unintended control is not well thought out that it easly unlock and puts you in stupid complicated mode selection. This is the camera designed by Chinese nerd who never engage in action sports. The name "action 2" is simply misleading where the camera is totally not suitable for action sports recording.
