DJI Action 2 Dual-Screen Combo

I prefer a chest strap on camera like this, because I am lazy to hold a camera. But I can't find any compelling reason why I should upgrade my DJI action2 to this osmo nano. Except for the larger cmos. The DJI Action 2 seems smaller and that is with it's built in screen. Action 2 also has better video recording capabilities? [https://www.dji.com/dji-action-2/specs](https://www.dji.com/dji-action-2/specs) [https://www.dji.com/nano/specs](https://www.dji.com/nano/specs) Something I am missing here?

This looks to be more of a competitor to the Insta360 Go 3S. I have both the Action 2 and Go 3S, and the Go 3S is a much better mini camera, however the Action 2 has the advantage of being able to use the same mounts as my Action 3.

Any specs yet? My Action 2 is still going strong, but looks like it's been through a war. Will probably pass for now, as I already have Action 2, and 5 Pro.

If it were me I'd mount an action 4/5. The nano and action 2 are cool (I have action 2) but it's limited in ways compared to the larger cameras.. especially for long duration use. If budget was a concern I'd go for action 4. I see what you mean about the POV, I guess it depends what type of footage you want. TBH I was thinking purely from a stable ~~cinematic~~ footage angle. I know you say you don't like it, but they are not that uncomfortable (I sometimes wear one for 8 hours) and a chest mount is really the only option for serious POV in my opinion, the magnetic neck mounts and such are good for some quick clips in slow moving situations, but on a bike, no way. It's possible I care too much about camera stability. Get a DJI Flip to follow you for some clips to put in hehe.

Good to know, I was considering replacing my action 2 I busted yesterday with one but I was really pleased until I broke the lens glass I think ill just buy another

You're very wrong to think that a GoPro can't compete with the Insta360 and DJI. Personally, I use a GoPro because I see a difference in image quality between 4K and 5.3K videos, which neither of the cameras mentioned offer. This is especially noticeable on a larger screen. Even the sensor size won't help. While the Insta360 has an 8K mode, I think it's already too large in terms of file size, so 5.3K is the perfect compromise. Besides, the GoPro's colors and HDR-style videos are unbeatable – the colors from the Insta360 and DJI simply look worse and dull. Finally, the GoPro's sound quality is better. That's what convinces me. I hardly ever shoot night videos, and while the cameras you mentioned are better at night, they're still far from satisfactory quality – there's no action camera on the market that records well at night. So for me the choice is simple - GOPRO :) I should add that I'm not a fanboy - I also have a DJI Action 2 camera, which I love for its size, but I don't see that DJI has improved much in the video quality since then, so i have comparasion to other brands.

I am using dji action 2 for 3 years or so. It was perfect. This is the first time they used this creative magnetic quick release. You can dismount/mount the camera with one hand whick is really cool for mtb riding. You can see a couple footages on my channel: [https://www.youtube.com/@blue-wanderer4392](https://www.youtube.com/@blue-wanderer4392) There a couple of flaws/design errors. 1) It has a magnetic connection which can corrode if you don't look after. 2) The camera unit weighs only 51g which is great, you can leave it on your helmet, and you won't feel the extra weight at all (unlike on a bigger gopro). But it only has 21 gb built in memory. For 4k resolution, this is not much space. 3) You need the screen/battery unit with a memory card slot to record longer videos and it has a way better microphone. So even though you can use it as a really lightweight camera, you are forced to use the whole unit. The whole unit has a remarkable stack height. It is a lot taller than a normal action cam. 4) The DJI phone app was really bad. As bad as the gopro app. Fortunately they released a new version and it connects to the cam and doesn't close itself. I have no infos about newer dji stuff. It seems like they adressed those former design flaws. I hope I don't need to replace my cam, because it was a sh1tl04d of money. The image quality is mindblowing. I used the first gopro in 2017. Half of my footages were so shaky they instantly ended up in trash. If you compare the 2017 vs 2022 technology, I would say, it worthed every penny.

Exciting to have something new, but obviously we will have to see what the image quality is and how it handles rough treatment. If it can be as sturdy as my action2s and have some more dynamic range (my biggest issue with the a2) it could be a winner even at that price point.

The DJI Action 2 is a good pick for beginners. super easy to use and has good stabilization for family trips and winter sports. The modular design is neat because you can add stuff later if you get more into it. Could check out dronility to see how it stacks up against other cameras if you're still thinking about it...

It works but you'll have decreased handling and flight time. Slow cruising is fine. I'd recommend an Action 2 or Insta360 Go2 (or Go3). You won't even notice they're there.

Two best options based on the size of the camera are the DJI Action 2 or the Insta360 Go 3s I'm sure you could find a dji for your price range Here is some footage of my DJI from my personal play https://youtube.com/shorts/6TeB8lRFA_k?si=LU8YH6Q-3nhXNtLM
