DJI - DJI Action 2 Dual-Screen Combo

I had a hero mini 11 that died in less than 1 year, they sent a replacement that also died in less than 1 year. Then they tried to get me to buy the GoPro “subscription” for $50 and pay &100 for yet another mini 11. Found I could get an open box full size 11 on eBay for $170. My old DJI action 2 still works fine after multiple GoPros died, but the footage isn’t nearly as good.

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 Outdated sensor.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.

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

Osmo 5 is a gimbal. If you are talking about Action 5, reviews are great. I bought model 2 and 3. I still use 2 for certain needs, but gave away 3. I own a lot of DJI gear, and Action 5 looks like a great contender for GoPro. Don’t be fooled by online reviews. It really depends on your personal needs. Shooting in low light without adding light seems weird to me, but sure Action 5 does a bit better. It still can’t beat to add light. GoPro MediaMod is perfect to mount a light. I’m not sure about image quality. Yes sensor is bigger, but it’s still tiny. Algorithms do all the work.

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.

I second the action2, Check amazon refurbished ones, I got mine for $160 about a year ago and i love it!

For personal videos I can see the 03 being sufficient. For anything you are trying to sell i don’t think it will cut it. 03 struggles with different exposures for filming because it will auto adjust mid flight so the pilot can see when looking at the ground and the sky through the flight. I fly with an 03 and it’s amazing to fly with but I put a DJI action 2 on top for recording. It’s capable of 4K at 120fps and the “rocksteady” mode is ideal for FPV. I honestly can’t recommend the action 2 enough for FPV. Hope that helps

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

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

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

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.

Full size hero is too heavy honestly. I have action 4 go pro 11 and action 2. Only use action 2, can also toss it on my 3.5s

Yea I run 1950kv on my 5”s. They can handle it for sure but compared to the action 2 it’s night and day. What’s x4?
