DJIAction 2 Dual-Screen Combo WITHOUT Magnetic Protective Case (32GB), 4K Action Camera with Dual OLED Touchscreens, 155° FOV, Magnetic Attachments, Stabilization Technology, Underwater Camera Ideal

Let me start by saying I love my DJI Action 2 Dual-Screen Combo. Before diving into the purchase, I did my homework to ensure it suited my needs, and I'm glad I did. While the design has its flaws, like not being super rugged and the second screen not being waterproof, understanding these limitations and using the correct parts has made all the difference. One issue I've noticed is heating, but since I stick to shooting at 4K 30 frames per second or lower, it hasn't been a problem for me. Most of my filming happens underwater, and for that, the waterproof case has been a must. When diving, I make sure to use the waterproof case, but for snorkeling, I opt for just the camera part without the second screen or waterproof case to keep things streamlined. The microphone quality is top-notch, and the size factor is unbeatable. However, there's a crucial tip I've learned for underwater use without the waterproof case. Before connecting it to the second screen/battery to transfer files to the SD card, ensure you remove the case from the magnetic protective casing and dry the area around the pins thoroughly. Otherwise, any water trapped between the magnetic case and the camera could lead to corrosion when attached to the second part of the camera. Despite these considerations, I'm overall very happy with my DJI Action 2 Dual-Screen Combo. It's compact, versatile, and has significantly improved my underwater videography experience. With a bit of caution and proper maintenance, it's a fantastic tool.

The DJI Action 2 Dual-Screen Combo is a powerhouse of an action camera, especially if you’re after high-quality footage in a tiny package. The 4K video recording is crisp and vibrant, and the 155° wide-angle lens captures more of the scene, making it ideal for action-packed adventures and vlogging. The dual OLED touchscreens are a fantastic feature — bright, responsive, and perfect for framing your shots or switching settings on the go, whether you’re behind or in front of the camera.The magnetic attachments are clever and make mounting the camera a breeze — no more fiddling with complicated mounts while missing the moment. The stabilization technology works brilliantly too, smoothing out the bumps and shakes even if you’re filming while cycling or running.However, without the magnetic protective case, the camera feels a bit vulnerable, especially in rough conditions or when shooting underwater. The build is sturdy, but if you’re planning to take it on rugged adventures or underwater (it’s waterproof up to 10m), you might want to invest in the case for extra peace of mind.Overall, the DJI Action 2 is an excellent choice for anyone wanting a compact, feature-rich action camera. Just be ready to baby it a bit without that added protective layer — it’s small but mighty, and worth keeping in top condition!

Great build, it's almost too nice to be an action cam, more like a mobile phone quality build id be concerned that the metal body paint would damage if used hard. My issue is overheating. 5 mins of record time is useless for some of the sporting events i do. Nothing worse than wanting to watch back my 20 mins of onboard karting to find i only got 5 mins of footage. I also do lots of water sports, but to get the Action 2 to last a little longer with the heat issue i need to run it with the front facing camera which isn't waterproof. You can get a DJI waterproof case for the camera and screen module but can imagine that would only make the heating issue worse, possibly giving you even less than the already poor 5 mins record time. I have a GoPro Hero 10 and i got this as a possible replacement. The GoPro Hero 10 isn't perfect but of the two it beats the Action 2 Hands down for practicality and useability.My suggestion: Don't buy it now and wait to see if DJI release firmware that can possible fix the heating issue. I wont be waiting for that as there's no guarantee a fix will come and I'm still within the window with Amazon for a return.....and that's what i will be doing.I could possible buy again in the future if the problems get fixed (and by this time it will probably be cheaper then the current RRP of £455), but this item was rushed to market way too soon. it's just not ready !
