DJI - DJI Action 2 Dual-Screen Combo

The action 2 is sick. Almost the same image quality as a full GoPro with 1/3 the weight at 55 grams. And it has a battery and is full metal unlike naked gopros

Action 2 is great for FPV drones (albeit its limitations) as are the go pros.

I grabbed an action 2 a couple months ago on sale and prefer its footage vs the o3 or o4 mainly because I like the prop noise🤷🏼‍♂️

All SOOC underwater photos will come out as bland or too green or too blue to your liking, if there isn't proper lighting and accurate white balance. For videos I would recommend a DJi action , which has a bigger sensor and more accurate underwater WB. And stabilization. Has the best straight out of camera videos in my opinion I personally use a DJi action 2 , shoot photos in RAW ,which then goes through some post processing to bring out the colours. For videos I keep it as it is. Or sometimes crank up the magenta to put Reds into the scene.

It’s not good for me. No inbuilt stabilisation. No flat color profile. Outdated sensor. Yeah nah. I like to color grade my footage now, and just to add stability you have to transfer footage via app add stability and then move footage again to edit it out. Yeah no thanks. I get the appeal of low weight but dji action 2 is so much better at that same price point in that case.

Some people do use them, but most don't because: The video quality isn't as good. They tend to overheat. Storage space isn't very large and it takes forever to transfer files off of the built in storage. They are pretty lightweight, tho. So some people use them just because of that. This is all speaking about the action 2. If you're talking about the Osmos, then most people don't use them because they have a built in gimbal.

The GoPro 12 without a battery is only 120g, less that the hero 11 mini at 133g. You can also turn a fullsize into a naked down the line.   The best quality right now is between the GoPro 12 and the DJI action 4, both have their own strengths and weaknesses.   If weight is a concern, the DJI action 2 is the best quality camera I've found <60g stock.

I posted this last week but, the DJI Action 2 is the smallest and lightest 4k cam out there. I've been using it all season and love it. No issues at 4k at 95 degrees summer weather in socal. MattTheGymRat from YT also runs the same camera for his games. Here is some sample footage I have taken recently. https://youtu.be/OigH0PQfJt0?si=JNOFbFKlVcp1o4Tz

Not on your list but I have an Osmo Action 2. If you like the concept of having the camera centered, it's maybe something to consider. Apart from that, Osmo Actions are great, Insta 360s are also great, GoPro has lost a lot of it's reputation. But I never had a GoPro, so maybe I'm not the best to judge.

For light build (freestyle) the DJI action 2 For cruising the action 4 or 5

I've used GoPros for 12 years to record my kids growing up. It's so good to have the camera handy to grab out of a pocket, in the rain, beach, pool, Even great to have the camera to kids without fear of wrecking something expensive. I've toyed with other action cams like action 2, insta360 go land ace pro but always come back to GoPro. Low light sucks but otherwise they are great for catching the kids in the moment. Minimum fuss and easy to use in all conditions. Hang off until September to see what GoPro and DJI bring out. The 360 ace pro upped the game with lowlight and new features so let's see if GoPro can up their game.

That's great! I made my first video on dji action 2 yesterday only.

2 different cameras geared towards different things. I have both plus the action 2 and 4. The action cams are used when I go riding or swimming. Pocket for travel and family events etc. Pocket has better image quality because of the 1 inch sensor

I just got the Action 2 and it's awesome. The file syncing between the camera and SD card isn't ideal if you're trying to record every flight but you'll get the important ones

The action 2 is awesome!

best image quality is the gopro8, then gopro7 than the runcam thumb pro w. the dji action is good but not as good as a gopro. but the image quality isnt the only concern, you also need to think about weight. if you want to make real estate you cant use a 5 inch that can carry a full size gopro. and a small 2.5 inch cinewhop struggles with a full size gopro. so you need something lighter, either a naked gopro or the dji action 2 or the runcam thumb. so there is no best, thats why people are rocking different cameras for different Situations and different quads.

If you want no brainer just get the dji action 2. Its far far far value for money than anything in the market. Trust me you will not regret. I have uploaded some raw footage’s straight from the camera you can check those if you don’t wanna waste time on youtube reviews.
