DJI Action 2

Name: DJI Action 2
Brand: DJI
Rating: 7.8 (1 reviews)

DJI

$199.00 – $299.00

Ultra-compact modular action camera with magnetic attachment system. Can add a front screen module or battery module for extended recording. Tiny 39g body fits anywhere.

Good

Consensus

Our Analysis

The Action 2 is clever but polarizing. The modular system is genuinely innovative, but the tiny battery and overheating issues in standalone mode hold it back from the top tier.

Pros

39g standalone body is the smallest action camera available
Magnetic modules snap on instantly to add screen or battery
4K/120fps slow-motion captures fluid action

Cons

Overheats during extended 4K recording without front module
30-minute standalone battery life is impractical

Don't buy this if…

Overheating can trigger auto-shutdown in standalone mode at 4K — attach the battery module for shoots over 20 minutes
