Thank you for this review. Helped me decide between GoPro Hero 11 Mini and DJI Action 2 as helmet camera for recording my motorcycle trips. I'll definitely go for the DJI. Viel Spaß!
@@klein-concept Just wondering which Mount you used to attach the camera underneath your bars? I’ve seen handlebar mounts that sit above the bars, but they look too long and sit up too high. The Mount in your video looks nice and compact. Thanks in advance 😊🙏
On the BMC i use the stock computer mount which came with a gopro adapter. On my other bikes i am mostly using some generic carbon upfront mounts from Aliexpress which normally also come with a gopro mount. There i attach the original DJI magnetic adapter.
Thank you. So far i did not run into overheating as most of the time i use quick shot mode so only recording 30 second clips. But even on longer ones i think that the wind from riding is cooling it pretty well.
You can not adjust the angle but i pull up the pendant almost all the way up. Otherwise you can also get a 3rd party chest mount but it is not so elegant
@@klein-concept i see there a similar problem with the go 3s, some guy put some stuff under the magnet to make it point upward but i will see when mine arrives. Do you know if it is possible to add telemetry or overlay just with the camera and the app?, of course connected with the garming device, phone etc.
Hello. Do you have the orientation lock on or off when you are cycling. When upside down on the bike today I had a mixture of correct orientation and upside down. Many thanks for the video and any help.
Hey John, i have it off and i also have mixed orientations in my recordings but as these are easy to adjust when editing i didnt bother looking deeper into it. So thanks for raising is. Will try to enable the lock on the next ride.
How did you activate it? Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand, one cannot use the camera without activation, and the necessary app (DJI Mimo) is long banned from Google Playstore. Otherwise it looks to be the best fit for the bill. Thanks for the video!
Hey Toomas, glad you liked the video 🫶. I dont remember having to activate it. Im also on Android and just downloaded the Mimo app from the DJI website. Works flawlessly.
I know you can download it from DJI site, but I'm a bit hesitant to install a banned software on the same device that talks to my bank account. The must be a reason why it was removed from play store, and in all likelihood it is some security flaws. I'm not aware of any political spats between US and DJI...
Je trouve qu’il ne faut pas enlever les bruits de fond,c’est plus immersif car on entend très bien ta voix et un peu le bruit du vent ce qui est parfait. Quand il n’y plus un bruit on croirait un commentaire off ça fait bizarre.
@@klein-concept Yes sure , so i bought this camera for my vacation , and i wanted to record in there , first i didnt like the battery life and then i said okey i will use it with powerbank so i grap a powerbank and went to walk and it was only 18 degrees and i got just 8 min recording time at 18 degrees while using with powerbank thats why i returned because this summer i will go to phiiphines and the weather in there is so hot , like 25 and 32 degrees thats why i returned and i ll buy go pro
@@TheEminOfficial I fully understand. I was even able to record around 5 min in one go here but for my usecase thats not really a problem as i will be recording 30second or 1 minute clips while on the bike so there will be enough time to cool down in between. I also read that in these smallrig (or other metal) cases help with overheating but i think not to a degree that you might need if you want to use it as a proper vacation camera. Hope the GoPro will do a better job for you. Curious to hear what you think of it. Wish you a great time in the Philippines. 🤜🤛
I bought this camera, and 3 days returned it. if your looking to run the camera by itself. look for seriously 10min or less of recording time when in 4k, if that. 100% not worth it, the recording time is terrible. the work flow is so slow, transferring your files is slow.
If you are looking for long recording times in 4k i agree. For me it still works and i really enjoy it but my clips are mainly between 30 seconds and 2 minutes.
It’s not really a cyclist ultimate camera if need for safety recording for long hours. And not able to loop video if memory card is full. Was really tempted cos of the light weight,quality, functionality but put off by the short battery duration n non video looping. Basically need for any road accident recording instead of blogging.
Thats true but in addition to magnets the display module and the mounts have these little hooks that lock into the camera module. If you do not push them open you can not even take the units apart with force. 🤜🤛

Thank you for the detailed video Klein. I have ordered one now.
Think you will like it. I still love mine.
Great Video! I need to check out my action 3 for real this spring. The chest mount thing of your cam is super cool…
Also have a chest mount that fits your Action 3 if you wanna give it a try 🤜🤛
@@klein-concept yes please ❤
Thank you for this review. Helped me decide between GoPro Hero 11 Mini and DJI Action 2 as helmet camera for recording my motorcycle trips. I'll definitely go for the DJI.

Great it helped. I still love the camera so good choice. 🤜🤛

Interesting Camera but for some reason your video only gives me a 360p option. strange. Cannot wait to see the long term review!
It was still encoding i guess. Now you should be able to watch it in 4k. 🤜🤛
Great Video! Looking forward to the next one! :D.
Thanks Jacky 🫶
Amazing content! I think Im decided now on what action cam to get.
Thank you. I have been using it on a trip in Mallorca for the week and really have to say that i love this little camera.
Another good video. Keep it going, man!
Thanks a lot. Very motivating to hear that. More to come soon. 🤜🤛
Helpful video! What camera bike mount are you using for the DJI Action 2?
On the BMC i use the stock computer mount which came with a gopro adapter. On my other bikes i am mostly using some generic carbon upfront mounts from Aliexpress which normally also come with a gopro mount. There i attach the original DJI magnetic adapter.
nice channel keep making videos! great one !
Thank you so much. Messages like this are very motivating. Already planning the next one 🫶
@@klein-concept cant wait to see thanks!!
every camera purchase should have this perspective.
Hello, great review. I want to ask how many minutes until the camera overheats while you are cycling..
Thank you. So far i did not run into overheating as most of the time i use quick shot mode so only recording 30 second clips. But even on longer ones i think that the wind from riding is cooling it pretty well.
@@klein-concept Thank you for the infos again 💙 One last question how long does the camera module last without the power module ?
I think it depends on your settings. But i would count with around 40-50 min if you go for 4k and some stabilization.
Dead cat or dead mouse? A very important point to ponder....kappa. Great video.
😂😂 thank you
Excellent content. 🎉
Thank you 🫶
how can u point more upwards the camera in the chest position, for example in ciclyng when u are going fast downhill
You can not adjust the angle but i pull up the pendant almost all the way up. Otherwise you can also get a 3rd party chest mount but it is not so elegant

Thanks for the reply. Off seems to be better. Rode with the orientation lock on today and recordings were upside down.
Do you use the Mimo app to edit or another app? Thanks
Thanks for the update. I edit the footage in Resolve on my laptop. There it is easy to switch orientations around.

@@toomasvendelin good point. Will try to do some googling on that topic.
What kind of helmet are you wearing? Super nice!
It s the HJC Atara 🤌🤌🤌
nice video, thank you
🤜🤛
Are you able to grab a still photo from a video via the app, like on a GoPro?
Good question. Let me try this later and get back to you.
@@klein-concept appreciate it 👍🏻
@@StephenProffitt had a look now. I dont see a function which would allow me to export a still from a video in the DJI Mimo app 🫣
@@klein-concept Oh okay. Been looking for an answer for so long. Thank you so much for the info 😍

i bought tis camera but i returned after just 1 day of usage!!!!
Thanks for sharing but would really be interested to know what the reason was for you?
@@klein-concept Yes sure , so i bought this camera for my vacation , and i wanted to record in there , first i didnt like the battery life and then i said okey i will use it with powerbank so i grap a powerbank and went to walk and it was only 18 degrees and i got just 8 min recording time at 18 degrees while using with powerbank thats why i returned because this summer i will go to phiiphines and the weather in there is so hot , like 25 and 32 degrees thats why i returned and i ll buy go pro

Did you color grade the clips? looks pretty cool.
There is only a slight LUT on the whole video. No proper color grade.

You are right. This is not a safety camera but rather for documenting trips and vlogging.
Can recommend any budget friendly front safety camera😉
honestly i would never trust magnets enough to hold valuables. no matter how much you prove they are they will always make me too anxious
Thats true but in addition to magnets the display module and the mounts have these little hooks that lock into the camera module. If you do not push them open you can not even take the units apart with force. 🤜🤛
I trust the magnet more than my hand :D I dropped mine twice while holding it, the magnet never did XD
@@kukurbitomaximo3534 haha so true 🫣
It has the ability to have a safety loop, use mine on my bike & the mount securely holds the camera 🤔
any overheating issue? thanks!
Only when testing it with long recordings. While using it on the bike it was no issue. 🤜🤛
@@klein-concept Thanks for your reply! If i only film at 1080p 60fps, do you know the recording length?
Need to give this a try but i think you will only be limited by battery life. Overheating should not be an issue.
@@klein-concept thanks😉
@@DL-tj7wm did a quick session now and i actually got the overheat after a bit over 6 min at 1080 60fps.
