    Again guys, sorry for the late review on this one, I thought one was coming from DJI, but I ended up buying one. And considering it was so many monies, maybe throw a like up there for me🤣👍Overall though, what are your thoughts on this thing? Yay or nay? Or just for specific use cases?

The battery situation is a no go as well, way to pricey. such a shame i wanted dji just to come and compete with gopro. I reckon this camera is going to be the FPV drone pilots camera of choice though. Great vid 👍

No sd card on the actual camera, low internal memory, dual screen addition isn't even water proof.

    Great honest review. I found that Amazon Prime is not accepting returns for this unless it is damaged. “This item is non-returnable, but if the item arrives damaged or defective, you may request a refund or replacement.” Which was the final reason for me to keep using my Osmo Action. The memory, vulnerability of the screens, the battery situation and the price, which you discussed, all stopped me from giving this a try. I ordered the 64gb 360 Go2 instead. Thank you!

    You brought up some great points that made me think twice about forking over 500+ for the A2. Each one of those point (not waterproof with added modules, lack of removable lense, no external batteries like A1, no SD on main module, no quick switch) are the main points I thought of when they released it, and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a deal breaker. Too many features were removed to make this an "upgrade" and evolution from the first action. We have to literally dig to find reasons to justify buying this over the action 1. And the 500 + to get a front screen when the action 1 included it with paying extra. To be brutally honest, they dropped the ball big time, and I already had plans to buy it at launch. It's a nice camera, don't get me wrong, but I think this is NOT an action "2". Maybe maybe a dji "session" 1? Totally bummed after waiting so long. 😔

    My suggested name for this should have been Osmo Action Mini or Osmo Mini Sports but you are correct that it is not a version 2 of the original. A part from all the other issues my biggest gripe is what you do when the internal battery dies? Will DJI offer a premium price to replace the battery or will you have to buy a new main unit? Regardless of the answer this is why I won’t buy one. This is what also separates the A2 from being a action camera, which btw you can still get replacement batteries for the 1st Hero.

    You make great points about the battery swapping. The only reason I would consider getting one of these is the size, it would be nice to have a smaller helmet cam for my motorcycle.

DJI just needs to make it bigger to hold both those items.

The battery module would be essential for longer rides. I'm afraid I will be tipped towards the GoPro 10. No doubt DJI will address these with their Mk2 or Action3. Shame they didn't consult you before they launched it. They would have had a winner!

Never have own a gorpro but looking like I might have to. DJI had a couple years and just missed the mark completely. This should have been a new release of some other type of camera. All we needed was a action two with a bigger sensor, horizon leveling, 4k 240 or at least 2.7K 240 and all the other great features of the action one.

    Hi David, this is Denny. I am a subscriber and enjoy your well-done presentations and upbeat personality. The DJI Action 2 is appealing to me as a bicycle tourer. I like the concept of easily switching between handlebar magnetic mount and helmet magnetic mount while riding. Can't do that with my GoPro screw mounts and it's a bit heavy on the helmet anyway. I tried the Insta 360 GO2, but its strong magnet, curved body, and half-shell mounts made it difficult to remove from a mount one-handed while riding. Dropped the camera twice! The DJI Action 2 looks like it might be easily switchable between mounts, although intuitively, switching is two-handed, one squeezing the clips on the module and one lifting the camera. Can you tell me if it's easy to use ONE hand to release the Action 2 from a magnetic mount, maybe squeezing one clip and angling it off the module? Another question you would likely be able to answer: When the Action 2 is joined with a module, in Settings, you can choose to record onto the camera internal memory OR the SD card in the module. But if I released the Action 2 from my handlebar(where the SD card was being used) and transferred it to my helmet magnetic mount, does the camera automatically switch to the camera internal memory, or would I have to stop, go to settings, and choose the internal memory? If it's an automatic switch and I can switch one-handed to a different mount while riding, the Action 2 will become my new favorite for bike tours and hiking, too! Thanks in advance for all the cool presentations you make!

    Great honest video as always David!! +1 to everything you said, I don't understand why they adopted this choice instead of following the form factor of the "old" Action. Basically they wanted to do a PRO and bigger Insta360 Go 2! but left a lot on the table for the old DJI Action users. They should have both product lines IMHO.

    Good review. Honestly I just wanted v2 to have longer battery life (I film my bike races which are usually about 2-2.5 hours long), and the ability to have HDR and Steady Shot on at the same time. I'll probably just pick up another action can 1 because I need a second. If the small form factor had an SD card slot and a USB charging port, I would still consider it

    As somebody looking to upgrade from a Hero 4 before my honeymoon in the Bahamas, really sort of torn here. Needing to have the additional battery for the SD slot and any sort of substantial storage, thus then needing to have a water proof housing also, which now impacts the audio, it seems like this is not even the best option. Honestly makes me consider either the first action or the Hero 10...

    @@rjsvids, way better than the GP? Compared to which GP? And what is better than the GP10? For sure definitely not on price, overheating, swappable battery and memory, more fragile without spending more money on adding warranty coverage or waiting on other 3rd party cages or magnetic covers? Seems for your use case, form factor, wider FOV if not using other modes, magnetic design, weight? Seems like mostly style points form over function. Am definitely not a brand worshipper but as a consumer, you got to compete in performance and value and if these manufacturers are not competitive, you gotta call a spade a spade. I have both GP and DJI products and criticized the GP8 for that reason and returned it to eventually get the GP9/10 but definitely not dismissive of that weakness. Besides GP8 was released what 2yrs ago and if anything, DJI should have learned from that mistake, not repeat it and then expect consumers to be forgiving just because we love the brand. I’m on the fence with the A2, maybe wait for more 3rd party accessories like the GO2 recent power module. On a good note though if you need external audio, A2 accepts digital connect. Meaning use say a Rode GO2 (GO1 does not), just connect a USBC to the A2 USBC port and the USBC from GO2 receiver and you’re good to go without a 3.5mm audio jack. DJI did well with the P2 and should make that into a waterproof A2

    For an "action cam" without an easily removable lens/lens cover, that's a dealbreaker. These types of cameras go through the most abuse, so it would suck to have to baby it when you're snowboarding or ATVing. These things will fall off! Plus, I'm clumsy... 😅

    3-5 minutes before overheating in 4k120 seems to be the reality. Honestly, while that sucks big time compared to the Hero 10 (with stock firmware), its not the end of the world. You should never need more than 1-2 minute clips of 4k120 in any real world usage. The real dealbreaker is how short it runs in 4k24/4k30. Mostly are claiming 18-20 minutes. Terrible, terrible product.

    @@KungPowEnterFist True. Good point. But I do not agree to the 1-2 minute clips point. Most footage before editing is much more than that in my humble opinion, frankly. I position Gopro cameras at the Target position on my "range", it takes me at least a minute to get back on foot to firing position - then before I prepare and fire, correct and fire, several times... At least 10 minutes have gone by on a good day. Well for me, I do not need 4k. I am very happy with 1080p, and so I just bought the older Gopro 8 to add to my two Hero 4 Sessions. I also have a Garmin Action Cam too. All these serve me well enough.

I was gonna wait for the release of the action 2 instead of buying the GoPro 10 but went ahead and bought GP10 a couple months ago and so glad I did. 399 w/ their promo thien so actually cheaper plus vastly superior. I havent had any issues with the over heating (maybe 1x) but not a big deal. Plus, they just released firmware to address that (havent seen reviews though). I;'d defintely go for it. Buy an aftermarket 128gb SD and you can shoot forever.

    They have a magnetic macro lens that snaps onto the front of the camera so I'm really hoping they come out with a magnetic lens cover or polarized lens. That way you have something to protect the lens. I'm also really concerned with the modules not being waterproof because my wife wants to use it for horseback riding and would need the extra battery life. Unless it was a typo, you are also the first video I've seen that show horizon steady works in 4k 24fps. Every other video said it has to be in 2.7k or less. I look forward to the comparison to the insta 360 go2.
