what drone was you using?

[@shawnjoy6706]

I’m so mindblown by those fpv shots. So much you can do with the Action 2. Such a good deal you get a magnetic protective case with it now.

[@raspootin2818]

"I can film better now with my Action 2 with these amazing tips plus that new protective case would be a nice subtle upgrade. "

[@SHACKVLOG]

great cinematic!!!! so nice work!!✨✨ from JAPAN!!

[@Sleeperknot]

Excellent video! What settings did you use on the action2 for the fpv shots? Manual exposure or auto? I just got one for the fpv use case. Don't have ND filter. can I still use 1/120 seconds to shoot 4k 60fps with the lowest ISO on a bright day?

[@thorodinson2530]

Getting so many creative ideas from this video. Can’t wait to recreate the shots on my Action 2. Thank you for sharing!

[@pascalbasel]

Awesome, that's good to hear

[@BunnyslippersEUC]

Great video. The protection you showed is what I wanted to see. I am commenting to add to the KZbin algorithm.

[@pascalbasel]

Haha, thanks

[@johnlake1842]

Thanks for the tips! I never thought I could go do all out cinematic volggy shots with an action camera but here we are! Thanking the Action 2 for that!

[@delmicherssen]

Very informative video. Which action camera would you suggest for some beginner photography and short videos from family vacations mostly? No extreme sports guy here. Thanks for your tips.

[@bmxwalebhaiya]

Best setting for cinimatic video in osmo2

[@BryansMusings]

Nice tips, Pascal. Love them.

[@andyAF]

im from indonesia,your videos are great,i buy this dji action cam because of this video

[@maxhammer4067]

Great vid, putting alot of other channels to shame with great content like this 😀

[@Jonny2won]

7:32 is that the Dji remote v2? Thanks

[@ShavedHead]

hi bro what lens did you used for this vid?

[@pascalbasel]

I think Tamron 17-28 and 28-75.

[@carlosjohnson8135]

I just found this video and I’m so thankul. Such excellent and creative tips! Excited to try them. I’m currently waiting for my free magnetic protective case for my Action 2. It’s going to get more fun!

[@MANOSFPV]

Nice recommendations!

[@azizutkuozdemir]

Can u explain the science behind filming as well pls

[@pascalbasel]

Photons hit the pixels on the sensor, what causes an electrical charge, that's interpreted as color information and saved to a medium such as an sd card.

[@NinaPutri-g4n]

Hi, i just bought action 2, why i can’t open setting 4k @120fps. Need help, newbie here. Thanx u😂😂

[@bmxwalebhaiya]

I shoot 4k 60fps 4:3 but after cut for vertical it lose there quality plz tell how to shoot best vertical video for instagram with action 2

[@AllAboutSpainbyBarryHaylor]

Good tips on the DJI action 2 more please

[@marctrainor5595]

Thanks, for a really well-done job on this tutorial. Love the drone shots. I don't have that type of drone, yet, but I'm interested. You know, the price is right for me to get this camera on eBay refurbished. I think that might be my move on this. Thanks again. Marc T.

[@AlexVangeenRacing]

So, even for your fast moving drone shots you use 24FPS? I’ll be using mine for karting so was thinking as it’s fast moving I don’t want less than 60 FPS

[@pascalbasel]

Yes, otherwise I‘d have to change all other cameras frame rates as well.

[@AlexVangeenRacing]

@@pascalbasel that’s really interesting, I was under the impression to be smooth you need higher FPS for faster moving stuff. I’ll give it a try

[@pascalbasel]

@@AlexVangeenRacing 60fps is smoother, but I prefer a cinematic look and that's 24P. 24P needs motion blur though otherwise, it can look a bit laggy,

[@AlexVangeenRacing]

@@pascalbasel so you add motion blur in post? Is there a happy medium?

[@pascalbasel]

@@AlexVangeenRacing Yes, I use the motion blur effect in DaVinci Resolve Studio

[@chrissyoz2496]

Which one is better Hero 10 or action 2 in your opinion? Did you encounter any overheating issues when you put the case on Action 2?

[@toronto-properties]

The Camera itself and quality is really good……BUT It FELL OFF from the magnetic Lanyard from just moderate activity of riding a bicycle. And with such incredible luck… it FELL exactly when I was crossing a small wooden bridge and right into the river water 😭😭😭 So, now I still have the front camera module and all the other accessories. So should I sell those parts or maybe wait for a sale and get another…. Unfortunately, they don’t just sell the camera unit itself. Also, I am not sure if I have the confident in it anymore. It branded as an action camera and the magnetic lanyard function was one of the driving feature which attracted me for the purchase. If it cannot handle the role of an action camera, they should put a big disclaimer saying the magnetic lanyard CAN ONLY BE USE for slowly walking and have a high chance of falling off with activities!! So I am pretty about that and how DJI advertise it as an action camera and with footage of its use with the lanyard being able to handle rigorous activities. Anyway, perhaps I should just sell the Dual Screen module and get a GoPro instead. As I said early on, the camera quality is very good but don’t rely on it as an action camera. DJI should take out that lanyard magnetic option to help others avoid the loss that I experienced with just moderate activities.

[@krakadylius1]

Hi, What display protector you are using? Any issues with video quality while using it? Thank you

[@pascalbasel]

Just the cheapest one I found on the internet. They never cause any issues.

[@latenightfortunecookie]

best tip is at the end

[@ManojaKannadiga]

Keep rocking dude 😜

[@villaribabambule]

Hi Pascal, I am looking forward to see you Action 2 addition in your Gopro- Masterclass

[@irmaindriani]

Cool b rolls 😍

[@Dykster]

What drone were you using in this video?

[@pascalbasel]

Protek35

[@skydronefpv9250]

when you set the exposer to 1/50 what do you have the ISO set to. I am using ND and only use the action two on my FPV and trying to get a great video with out the brightness going high and low. I have tried iso just at 100 looks bad then tried 100 - 800 not looking good. Any advise to get the best settings? Thanks

[@pascalbasel]

Always to the lowest iso over the day. You need multiple nd filters to match it to different lighting conditions y

[@skydronefpv9250]

@@pascalbasel ok seems the iso is lower then my GoPro 8. If it is really sunny and I have a iso of 100 locked and use a ND 16 it’s seems a little darker then on the GoPro 8

[@ofwj-ddah]

Nice. I have an idea now. Thanks gor sharing

[@clausstahl5166]

I was very excited. I own the Action 1 but I was expecting a Version 2. Die Action 2 for me is something very different...and not my thing

[@pascalbasel]

Yeah, I think it’s not for everyone. But I like the overall concept as it combines the best from the GO 2 and GoPro.

[@grRajeshmondal]

GoPro hero 10 vs DJI Action 2 video

[@FlyZoneFpv]

Absolutely awesome video . Great review on the action and tips. Waiting on mine to arrive. Thanks for you help. 🤘🏻

[@IIslashII]

Can you link the FPV please ?

[@markdenney4938]

Great stuff here. Thank you.

[@IVENtures]

Great review brother. It was smooth when mountes on the fpv drone. Best regards to monskie 🙌🏻👍🏻👏🏻🙏🏻👌

[@pascalbasel]

Yeah, no jello or anything. I'm impressed.

[@simplebutelephanttv8242]

Bro! Nice casing! Where to buy? Thanks in advance

[@pascalbasel]

As mentioned, link in description 😉

[@BB-35]

The way u use the magnetic attechment scared the shit out me the whole video 🥶

[@pascalbasel]

It's not only magnetic. There is a click mechanism. So it holds very well. Even on the FPV drone I never had any problems.

[@Geeksrik]

@@pascalbaselplease suggest the setup for fpv used by you, what all is there part of that

[@AntonFromCrimea]

спасибо

[@villaribabambule]

I think all the technical comparison between hero 10 and action 2 are obsolete. They both deliver good quality for an action cam, and everyone should feel free happy to choose the right one for the own needs.

[@pascalbasel]

Yes, absolutely

[@dana_thetutor]

nice tip at the end. drinks coffee in the morning not afternoons 😂

[@bangash55]

Love from Pakistan

[@GravitonFilm]

May I ask your exposure setting on Action2? Also, did your perform any noise reduction in the post? I tried to shoot something but the quality (stabilization and noise) is very poor. This is my sample clip (both outdoor and indoor): kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5jTp2aCesppl7M

[@krakadylius1]

In a lower light environment, dont use stabilization. It reduces quality significantly. Just turn it off. Stabilization requires higher shutter speed, resulting in high iso and bad video quality.

[@pratikpinoakawolverine]

I like your video but I did not like my dji action 2, very bad indoor result with even good lighting, very noisy image even without any steady or rock steady

[@brianpollard8277]

For me, Action 2 wins at cinematic action camera category

[@kalealee3675]

Hmmm… lost the magnet today 😅
