  • Soooooo the Action 2..
    I recommend the Front Screen module - amzn.to/3dD1oYW
    the Power module - amzn.to/3ClJynx is good,
    but i think its worth the extra bit for the front screen!

    Always surprising that these CZcamsrs never mention that recording videos on internal memory and then moving to external overwrites the recording date/time metadata on the files. Almost as impressive as DJI getting this basic part of the firmware absolutely wrong. I returned mine for a GoPro 10 and couldn’t be happier.

    The more I use my Action 2, the more I am falling in love with it. No glitch of any kind, everything works smoothly and efficiently. The user interface is user friendly, simple. and overall a pleasure to use. The App is superb! It starts instantly. Now as to my GoPro hero 10? Not a bad action camera but it is glitchy, interface is not smooth, it takes for ever to start and to connect with the App. It is simply not as well thought out, not as well engineered and not as user friendly as the DJI.

    I was hoping for a video that talked about some of the cons and if they've improved. As far as I can tell the only reason actual worth considering this now is price. Everything else was just features.
    Has firmware improved functionality?
    Is it easier to use?
    Has the workflow improved?
    Or maybe this title is not the best fit for this video.

    I have to say that this is an excellent high-speed summary of the features and benefits of this little camera. The Action 3 is said to be due for release in a couple of weeks or so, so people might want to hold onto their wallets to see what that has to offer if a more conventional action camera format appeals to them - and just maybe the Action 2 price will fall even further then?

    *The DJI Action 2 is a "sleeper" of a camera indeed ! 👍😃 This camera has a slightly higher bit rate encoder than the Action 1, and OSMO Pocket 1 & 2. Has much higher resolution Time-Lapse movie output (2.7K & 4K UHD) versus 1080p only on the OSMO Pocket 1 & 2. The Action 2 has a slightly sharper lens and larger sensor than the OSMO pocket 1 & 2.*

    • @delasse3178
      @delasse3178 Před rokem +3

      the 3 is really a different camera and a mix between the 1 and the 2. The updates for the 3 are really action-cam oriented.
      I think the action cam 2 was begged for due to the reality of the videography market, vlogging and so on, and I think this market needs to be further realized by Shenzhen as well as larger companies. While action cams are a huge seller that might sell units to many traditionally non-videography oriented people who just want to capture their sport of whatever variation. But there's a growing segment of people who want to document their travels, sights, reflections; often those making a "fly on the wall" experience for the viewer. Sony has done extremely well selling the ZV-1 and the ZV-1 directly applies to this market segment that I'm talking about. But we're also at the point where vlogging cameras don't all need to follow the model of the DSLR/compact camera world, and that's where DJI has the Action 2 and the Osmo pocket banging on the door.
      In terms of Action 2 vs 3 -- Bigger screen so that is nice, longer internal battery so that is nice, more resistant to temps and elements, so that's nice, but pretty much none of those things replace the functionality of the Action 2 for people who aren't hiking fridgid mountains or surfing -- and for those rather uninhibited by the lil ol external battery. And, when it comes down to it -- and regardless of durability -- the Action 2 is the sneakier camera. If you want to wear it, it's smaller. If you are traveling, it's smaller. And if you don't have much mounting room to work smaller is going to be better.
      As some one else said -- getting hot and things like that don't seem to be perfect about the Action 2. The Action 3 is going to prove to be a better action camera than the Action 2 in most use-case scenarios. But the Action 3 is probably not as good of a travel/vlogging camera beyond it's bigger screen, so it doesn't make sense for all potential buyers to simply buy the Action 3 because it's newer*; at the given moment, there's a use-case dilemma and the Action 2 may be a better option in some ways.
      Also, I don't think I understand dual screens on the new model. While they may not have been able to charge more for the Action 3 without stuff like the dual screens, I think a lot of action-camera people have expressed over the years that there's something nice about just hitting a button and recording because the user is trying to live in the moment, and not think about their experience from a videography standpoint. So I don't understand the decision on screens. Dual screens makes considerably more sense if they were to rehash the Action 2 and make it more of a vehicle for minimalist vlogging. People using action cameras can't look at one screen, why are there two?

      I might get one now they're cheaper (and you can pick up barely used ones for really good money). I feel like most of the complaints come from people wanting 4k all the time (or bizarrely people filming going through the airport at 4k 120). I think I'd just stick to 1080p 30. I haven't got the means or desire to work with anything more and I only realised recently that I've been watching most of my YT videos at 720. I didn't really notice. I'd like to think that at 1080 30fps most of this stuff goes away.

  • @nomad0714
    @nomad0714 Před 2 lety +2

    Hey Danny,
    Yeah I came to same conclusion even though I have GP10 because of it’s magnetic design and all the positives you mentioned in this video.
    I was able to buy 2 dual combos for the price of 1 on Ebay as lots were dumping it because of the overheating negative feedback from key influencers. Gotta thank them!
    Before the firmware upgrades to allow the temps to be higher with the DJI cage, I used the Xioami’s fun cooler magnetic fan with a velcro strap and plugged into Ulanzi’s BG-4 power battery grip and tripod and run it without any overheating whatsoever.
    DJI added the cage did not improve the overheating. All they did was use the magnetic detection from the macro to know that the cage is on and therefore allow for the temps to be higher than 53degC and with the cage, your hands will not burn or you may let go and drop the A2 and have a lawsuit.
    Sony had the standard temp for handheld and high temps for tripod mode. Then GP added it to GP10 and now DJI. GP just turned certain features like GPS, BT, wifi, etc that will cause overheating faster. It’s like turning on airplane mode and so only the processor, LCD screen, and microSD are working hard (writing to card).
    But I believe in UK, EU, and maybe Oz, their safety regulations are more strict and don’t allow above 53degC and hence why high temp mode is not allowed.
    Anyhow, glad you’re sharing this lower price makes the A2 a good option to have.
    I think the best accessory aside the magnetic cooler, power battery grip and tripod, is the headband because the viewing angle moves with your eyes (more natural) while the necklace pendant bounces when you run or the backpack straps only moves when your body moves (unnatural).

    Here in Rip-off UK I just bought this (with screen module) for £319. Not sure what that would be in $ just now but it's a fair price, at last. No doubt DJI are looking ahead to its next expensive iteration. In my opinion it's always been an impressive (semi-)action camera, and heat issues were always related to bad shooting choices. While this video runs like a glowing endorsement-cum-advertisement I'd have to agree that at current prices it's a good buy.
