This may be my favorite GoPro 10/Action 2 comparison. No exaggeration, just commentary backed up with evidence. Great presentation, thanks. Subscribed. :-)
Thx Alan!
so do i
wow, you did by far the best and complete comparison about this two competitors 💪
Great side by side videos. Thanks for giving us the details so we spend our hard earned money wisely. Much respect! 💪

Would you please send us the original clips of the 5:13 8:43 and 9:47? You could upload it to Google Drive or Dropbox. It would be appreciated if you could help us! Thank you in advance. We would also want to know the SN of DJI Action2. Thank you very much!
theres a think that gopro doesnt do, costumer care
It’s good seeing your comment here DJI Support. Makes me more convinced I won’t regret getting the Action 2 (it arrived yesterday).
@@JegErAlan Hi, Alan. Thank you for your purchase and for letting us know your thoughts. As always, should you need to contact us for any reason, please know that we are always here to help. Thank you for choosing DJI.
@@JegErAlan buy DJI care for 2 years , and it's done .
@@rjsvids Exactly what I did. Very reasonable price for it.
Well done thorough video. Love the wider field of view and stabilization on the Action 2.
You have actually made me choose GoPro 10 after watching this! Thanks!
Wow! This review is what I need. Both cameras have strengths and weaknesses but I just can’t help but love the form factor of the Action 2.
You are so thorough and unbiased. It is really appreciated 👍
What an excellent comparison. By far my favorite one so far. Thanks a lot
Thank you so much.. this is ,THE review which I was searching...so much of minute details being covered in your review
What I was looking for. Thank you so much!
Glad i saw this video of you before making the purchase.
Exceptionally thorough and completely unbiased...You let the video quality speak for itself.
Thx Jim!
Great comparison and well done!
Thank you! This video really helped me! I also like your voice.
Very interesting comparison! Cheers from Bucharest Romania!!
great! the best review video i've ever seen so far!!!! Very much aspects shown. Perfect! Thank you very very much!
Thx Herb!
I couldn't find anyone who explained it as clearly as yours, thanks
Thankyou Man , you've done a great job 🙌
I love your videos. Awesome comparison. I've been watching your videos for a while now, can't believe i wasn't subscribed. lol
Thx mate!
Great job covering these 2 cameras. I really like how you did the overlay to show the difference in the field of view. I have 4 GoPro's and I just ordered an Action 2 mainly for it's compact size. Perfect for placing inside small RC's and getting POV. The GoPro line of cameras has been serving me well other than one that just won't turn on. Only used it 2 times.
By far the most comprehensive at no nonsense review
very good comparison..thanks!
Good job! (as usual) thank you!
Thanks, I am currently looking for a new camera and this review helped me a lot
I am watching this channel from beginnings , a wonderful guy , God bless you love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
this comparison is really helpful ==> I returned my DJI action 2 which I bought 2 days ago. Thanks
Great video thanks
thank, really help me
in deciding whether to buy it or not
Though I like the innovative design of the DJI Action 2. I still prefer the GoPro for its performance and different shooting modes. I hope eventually GoPro will add a bigger sensor!
Great comprehensive review.
I was really looking forward to seeing what DJI could do but will be stick with my GP10.
Quit disappointed with the A2, might as well use the Go 2 if form factor is important to you, it’s cheaper and smaller
Great video btw, I subscribed as soon as I watched this comparison video. I'm a gopro hero 10 black owner and I was also on the market for the Action 2 because I wanted a camera like the GO 2, but wanted to see what DJI had to offer. but upon watching the video comparison, I'd like to wait for a while until they fix the color and exposure settings on this camera. I wanted it for the "low light" capabilities since I'm not a big fan of lugging around a dslr to vlog like Casey Neistat or Peter Mckinnon. I use my action camera's mainly for vlogging anyways so I wanted a lowlight version. but it seems like the gopro hero 10 is better at lowlight. I guess the bigger sensor didn't amount to the kind of low light advantage they were hoping for.
Complimenti ottima recensione!
best video for those camera
Best comparison review so far. GoPro 10 kills it!
Really great video clip 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Gopro congratulations the king is back, there is no competition from other brands dji osmo action is dead no successor.
I’m really disappointed in DJI if we look dji mavic 3 have awesome specs and camera results but this action 2 is really a step in the bad direction.
DJI is not dead. In situation where you need the smallest form factor, its still the most viable candidate. Especially now that GoPro no longer makes the Session.
What an excellent series of tests! It seems to me that the Action 2 image quality in terms of resolution of detail is going to be adversely affected by the very wide lens - if you are trying to capture more image information onto an equal number of pixels, some details are going to "fall between the pixels", so you have to decide between lens angle and detail resolution. Generally though the larger sensor on the Action 2 doesn't seem to be leading to the expected advantage in terms of low light and noise etc. I suspect that we will see some significant firmware updates in that respect, to address low light performance and also detail in the shadows. When it comes to overheating, indeed at home I can come up with some depressing figures for running time but in real use, I've not encountered any problem, especially with the two modules connected. The camera module alone has restricted battery life, and restricted memory, so having restricted overheating limits is not such a big deal in context. And of course it's much the same with the Insta360 Go 2 (which I owned till I destroyed it...) - the laws of physics do apply to these tiny devices! Some open air, walking along overheating tests would be interesting to see. Will I do those tests? Well, we'll see... my doctor says I should walk more...
The latest problem emerging with the Action 2 is self-discharge. When the two modules are connected, the screen module appears to try to continuously charge the camera module and some users have reported that it goes flat in 24 hours. You have to keep the two separated when not in use, which is an irritation or worse. Hopefully DJI will fix that too.
Hi Peter, thx for sharing!
There was a comparison from Alaskan youtuber in a dark ice cave and Action 2 with Rocksteady turned on performed much better that GP10 with Hypersmooth on. Larger sensor clearly made a difference - GP10 was basically unwatchable, Action 2 was kinda meh, but still watchable.
I am most interested in how the GoPro 10 will behave in summer conditions with a temperature of more than 30 degrees, Since I think to buy GoPro 10 for video recording, it shoots better in color than action 2 and one question worries me - will it quickly overheat at a temperature of 35-40 degrees, our summer has been very hot for the last 3 years
Can you please do a RAW file photo comparison between Hero 9 and 10
Best information 👍❤️
I posted a link to this video on the DJI forum, and I commented there "But generally there does seem to be a problem with shadow detail disappearing, and low light performance being the opposite of what might be expected from the larger Action 2 sensor. " I then got this reaction from DJI R&D - " Thanks for the feedback, we are working on the image quality improvment in following firmware." So that's good.
Ok. Thx Peter!
This just made it even harder for me to choose action cameras for my motorcycle trip around Europe. Now i have to buy one of each. Damn!
Great video. GoPro is the winner for me...
it is good decision to buy dji actio 2 in december 2023 (how it's battery life in 4k 60 fps in just a camera mod) .i'm living Bangladesh where normal temp is 35 degree .so should i buy it ?
Hopefully they can get the heat issues under control, mine gets super hot even at 1080p 30
Why?
Interesting. I’ve found the action 2s images way too dark using the nd filters and usual ISO shutter speed double frame rate. Without filters it’s colour reproduction seems much better than my hero’s. My biggest issue with it currently is the amount of distortion on its widest angle, for my uses it’s not a patch on superview, and adds both fisheye and what appears to be motion blur where I wouldn’t expect it when mounted on the fast drones I fly. May be better using 4/3 and cropping. Overheating isn’t a problem for me. I expect dji with drop lots of updates for the darkness and fisheye processing.
Curious what ND filters you are using (I didn't realize any were available for the Action 2 yet). I've debated pre-ordering some from Pgytech (whose products I like), but I think I wouldn't have them until December. Did you get some pre-release ones? :-)
@@JegErAlan I'm flying fpv so I've just created a mount that holds tbs nd filters which are cheap.
@@CoppertopFPV Ahhh…thanks…
Just to be clear, ND filter come in varying strengths, and quality.
nice making sir

looks like the go pro was recorded in 5k, and osmo 4k?
It is possible to make a link to the source files, video in the mountains. From the camera DJI Action 2, GoPro Hero 10?
Thank you for detailed review. On the video Action 2 always lacks image details and looks washed out. Did you ensure the same ISO settings on both cameras? I can't believe Action 2 is so poor compared to GoPro
Most of the shots were taken with automatic ISO-settings but in good lighting conditions. I fixed the ISO only for the low light comparison.
@@MountMediaChannel There is a problem with current Action 2 FW - in auto-exposure it selects higher than necessary ISO that would certainly affect the picture. That's why I asked the question.
@@ioutkine i don't think thats the case, look at 3:35 , if it in fact action 2 is using higher iso than necessary, there would be noticeable noise, but there isn't and yet his skin is still smoothed out.
@@bikingchupei2447 Unfortunately I do not have GoPro to compare. One of the things that I can think of is that DJI may apply too aggressive NR (I remember there was a big problem with that for old Mavic Pro but then they offered an option to disable NR). Regarding the issue you can try yourself. Just try to shoot on a sunny day and go to exposure settings. It will display actual shutter speed and ISO.
Hi thx for a great video I'm leaning towards the GoPro as it is also $310 cheaper than the Osmo on 26/12/21, but I would like to know if you can tell me more about battery charging times as well
A better overheating test might be to put the cameras on mounts and put a very low fan on them to simulate the air flow of a normal walking pace. With them flat on the table like you showed there is no way for the heat to escape on one side.
True, but as longer as they're equally in that position, the test is still fair.
First of all, thank you very much for the information you have given, I follow you with liking.
I bought Goopro 9, I don't know its new settings, I can get better results if I take a video photo of which settings, thank you in advance
Hi Turam, there is a video about the best settings for the Hero 9 on my channel - check it out!
@@MountMediaChannel thank you so much you have a great channel
For me the versatility of the dji is definitely at the forefront. For the quality to be that close in such a small camera...
Gopro 10 👍💪🥇
DJI poket 2 as if it were better than both cameras. Or do I just think that? Will there be a comparison?
Cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẻ video so sánh giữa 2 thương hiệu gopro với dji
The only advantage for me with the Action 2 is I can add a DJI Mic kit and only need a USBC-to-USBC connector.
The Gopro 10 would need the media module.
Forget the camera. I want to go there!
can you copy data from the main modules internal memory to the secondary units memory card?
Yes
I was looking for an action cam to record some longer (30+ min) uncut videos. Apparently the overheating issue makes all the current gen action cams not a good choice for me, which is a little disappointing to be honest. Guess i have to look or wait for something else.
But thanks for this comparison video.
Hi - If you're shooting at 4K/24 or 4K/30, the GoPro doesn't have any overheating issues. However, a new file is created every 4GB. In my experience, this is not the case with the Insta360 ONE RS, for example. The ONE RS also creates files of 10GB and more.
No regrets on my hero 10. I feel DJI made this camera to meet the needs of FPV drone pilots who fly freestyle and need a more compact camera vs the Hero 10. But if they really want to compete with Gopro, they should have priced their camera 100$ or so cheaper imo. Not to mention there's the Gopro Lens Mod that wasn't talked about in the video that will bring a larger FOV and potentially horizon lock on a higher resolution then the hero 9. I'm still waiting for the firmware update to make this work
The price of the GoPro is competitive.
Gopro has more dynamic range, and I love the flatter picture it produces.
Kenapa saya belum bisa beli ini di Indonesia kok belum keluar ya untuk action cam dji 2
3:35 vloggers would love action 2's skin smoothing function.
9:52 A small crane on a construction site and we already know you filmed these shots in the Italian alps :-D
The go pro looks much better. But has dji improved image quality with subsequent updates?
спасибо
Hi MountMedia,
Nice video and detailed comparison between GP10 and A2. Well done. New sub as well.
Which will you keep? I have a GP 10 but like what DJI did with the form factor and magnets. More accessories will come out and already Smallrig has the magnets to protect the modules, Freewell and PGYTech are making the ND filters, and Titla is working on the cage. I would be interested when someone makes tele and anamorphic magnetic lenses for the A2.
The Insta GO2 just added a 64GB option with 57GB usable memory. Too bad as I got the 32GB just weeks ago so the A2 looks more like an upgrade to the GO2 in terms of small form factor, modularity, horizon leveling, and wide FOV. And it addresses the short battery life, short memory, and lower resolution that the GO2 is limited too with the added modules but more elegant design with the magnets.
One thing I forgot to mention is that Rode Wireless GO2 can be used with the A2 that allows digital input which means you just need to plug in USBC into A2 and the other end into the Rode GO2 receiver and you have external auto.
Pair this with the Instamic’s new Pro Plus and you have 32bit float audio, all day battery, wireless external audio with bluetooth, waterproof up to 1m and 30min duration, timecode sync with Track Synch E, and with small form factor mounting options, you can place it in so many places. Only drawbacks are USB micro, no 3.5mm jack input/output, and need to synch audio and video, but for my use cases the pros outweighs the cons.
Hi, for the moment I will keep both - I still have to do some tests....
Thx for sharing!
good evening i will ask you something
in sunny weather or indoors. will i lower the iso values too? thank you
You can lower the ISO values only if there is enough light - so in sunny weather for example
@@MountMediaChannel thank you very much good evening👍👍👍👍
gopro seems to brighten with IR, but controls it for long range.
The GoPro is far superior in almost every situation: color, detail, dynamic range, and lens flare. One the thing about the detail in the face. If you have to, you can always reduce detail in post; however, you can never add back that detail which was never recorded in the first place.
Of course, the DJI still has the advantage of an overall wider field of view, but that also introduces more distortion especially around the edges. So there's always a trade-off either way.
One more thing, keep in mind that the wider the field-of-view, the less small movements will be noticed. Therefore, the DJI may appear more stable at times on that parameter alone.
Dji action 2 lost it on this. Gopro 10 was predicted to lose market share but it turns out it ended up the other way round.
A2 is probably the single most disappointing cam in recent years. Having had and loved the Osmo A1, I had high hopes.
Ir is really disappointing release indeed
This was a great comparison but I haven't had that success with the go pro. Twice I've had the GoPro 10 crash from overheating in a cool room shooting at 4K and 26 frames in ten minutes. It's maddening. On top of that the back up and upload options haven't worked both remotely and in my computer. I've run entry update on the 10, my computer and phone to make sure everything is up to date yet it still fails non stop. It's ridiculous.
What do you thinks is more likely?:
A) Faulty GoPro
B) User error
@@krane15 could be either or. But as for me, I've never had a problem with my GP10. flawless.
@@CathMelVlogs Decisive: characterized by the ability to make decisions, esp quickly; resolute.
A light switch can't be off and on at the same time. Making a choice is not a sin.
will wait for the gopro 25 and the dji25 to come out ,,they might have the software right by then,,,
They can build a perfect camera for everybody for all occasion not. The catch is that it would cost a million dollars, and you would complain that it cost too much. So you see, its always something.
Gopro's dynamic range stomped the Action 2. The difference in details and low light performance were pronounced due to its larger sensor. I always use flat color profile and do color correction at post. I also use low sharpness. The flat profile has larger file size. Sort of raw file.
Its does a good job - but when I looked at its performance compared to the iPhone 13 it got trounced there. It kind of put me off it.
Sorry if I missed this... but are you comparing same resolutions in this test? If not, it would explain lack of detail compared to GP10 on a lot of shots.
Always in the highest possible resolution: 5.3k vs 4k, in low light 4k for both cameras
I found this hilarious. Sorry but why would you compare the two cameras and keep the other handicapped? LOL. The gopro hero 10 can offer 5.3k resolution. So why would the reviewer handicap the other camera to keep the comparison "fair". We the consumers should ask DJI to make a 5.3k version then. just my two cents. That's like comparing a Honda to a Bugatti and only asking the Bugatti to only run at Honda's top speed.
@@CathMelVlogs That's what I was thinking as well; but I kinda understood what he meant with his reply... However, I wish it was stated that comparison was between Max settings of both cameras. I was more confused than usually because GoPro looked a lot sharper but I had no idea that it was 5.7k vs 4k until I asked him. Maybe in future he can label the resolutions.
@@buco4316 yeah i guess he should've mentioned it. But I think gopro would still have more details with the 23mp sensor.
10:03 sao nó lắc quá vậy bạn đã tắt chức năng chống rung có phải không ?
I'm relieved to know I brought a Winner
🏆 😃 The GoPro Hero 10.
i have a dillema what to buy hero 10 or a good knife for 550euro... please help me guys and girls 😁
Don't forget to watch my new video today a full overheating test for dji action 2 👍👍💥
DOES IT HAVE ZOOM and contrast. Want picture of moon in wide and zoom/detail of moon.
15:10 is inconsistent in the background, a camera getting near and far at same time, is strange even with normal camera
Programming, is working for both. would be nice for manual controls like camera
RAW or MP4?
I want a gopro hero 10 for Christmas i subscribed
Thank you to whoever liked my comment
The funny thing is - you say gopro have clearly more detail than dji, but image say something oposite 😅 Of course it's youtube compression effect, but people may not know this :) I think this review is great and show everything important. IMO gopro is real action camera, dji more like vacation camera :) I really love design and size of DJI, i wany buy one if it will be cheaper. I'm hope DJI will selling this without additional battery pack :)
I agree as well. it's not the kind of camera you really wanna take with you, without extra protective casing, to any action sports events. Specially real action sports like motocross or downhill mountain biking.
I go for hero10
Так что по итогу лучше?)
May the problems in the DJI camera be solved by upgrading its firmware? I mean it's not bad at its hardware parameters. I'm saying it not because I'm a Chinese protecting the Chinese brand, but I'm attracted by DJI's brilliant industrial design and really want to buy this one. hhh
BEST GOPRO 10
Looks like Merano ... wrong ?
No, right!
@@MountMediaChannel I love Merano !!!

Hi bro I am your new subscriber the video from dji Acton 2 video I am so curious to know where are you
South Tyrol, Italy
I just got the DJI, in my first test with 4K/30 fps and Rocksteady I was able to record a video of 3 minutes, without the Rocksteady I got 6 minutes. This c*** goes straight back to Amazon.
GoPro 10 kills it!
you are the best
When comparing the shapeless, u should not zoom the both to same FOV, action 2 is much much much wider. It is unfair for Action 2 which is much overzoom. You should use the widest FOV for each camera and shoot a same things full of their frame ,just like dpreview.
The zoom factor for both cameras is exactly the same
@@MountMediaChannel sorry it looks very similar.
Action 2 is do dark in shadows. My insta 360 go2 does much better job. (Have them both).
If these shots are legit then DJI Sucks pretty badly 08:39 .... . Thank you Man 🍻🍕
Where do you live? Awesome place
South Tyrol - Italy
Gopro is very unreliable. It's the luck of the draw with them. You don't know if your video will be recorded or you'll have sound or any other issue. With the dji cameras I don't have to worry about that
