Hey good review. But I dont understand why you recommend setting the video compression to h264, HEVC is as good as h264. You dont lose quality in that codec, HEVC is the successor to h264.
At a frame rate of 30, a shutter speed of 1/60 will completely neutralize the stabilization, and all that you'll have is artifact (distortion). Do NOT follow the 2x rule!!
Just ordered mine, can’t wait to get it. This actually will be my very first action camera ever owned. Great video, I’ll definitely refer back to it to guide me with setup.
h.265 is more efficient than h.265 that means it is at the same visual quality at a smaller file size and that is why it was invented. Bigger file size does not mean better in that case. The only point of ever using h.264 is for compatibility plug and playing raw footage on an old tv. Now AV1 codec is significantly more efficient than h.265 and that is what netflix and some youtube videos use now, and one day (I already do for video encodes) we will all use that and h.266.
I was so excited when i bought this on release day. But stopped using it for a time due to bad noise when filming indoors/home. Is there a good settings i can use? I export my vlogs at 1080/60 and have been recording with that setting as well and using horizon steady. But when watching review views such as yours, i barely see any noise at dark scenes. Can i get assistance with my settings please? Thanks in advance!
If you are seeing noise then lower your IOS but action cameras or small sensors need a lot of light too look good. Not really designed for indoor lighting really unless you have ‘studio lighting’ setup
Hey man, how do you mount the action on fpv? Tpu mount? Just picked one up strictly for a little fpv filming. Wondering if I should use foam and strap or just go w tpu mount..
Hi I just purchased the device a day back. When i record in 1080 or 4k @24fps, observed screen flickering couple of times in low light. Is it happening in all devices or mine only. Secondly if I play a clip there is no sound. How do I adjust volume
The Camera itself and quality is really good……BUT It FELL OFF from the magnetic Lanyard from just moderate activity of riding a bicycle. And with such incredible luck… it FELL exactly when I was crossing a small wooden bridge and right into the river water 😭😭😭 So, now I still have the front camera module and all the other accessories. So should I sell those parts or maybe wait for a sale and get another…. Unfortunately, they don’t just sell the camera unit itself. Also, I am not sure if I have the confident in it anymore. It branded as an action camera and the magnetic lanyard function was one of the driving feature which attracted me for the purchase. If it cannot handle the role of an action camera, they should put a big disclaimer saying the magnetic lanyard CAN ONLY BE USE for slowly walking and have a high chance of falling off with activities!! So I am pretty about that and how DJI advertise it as an action camera and with footage of its use with the lanyard being able to handle rigorous activities. Anyway, perhaps I should just sell the Dual Screen module and get a GoPro instead. As I said early on, the camera quality is very good but don’t rely on it as an action camera. DJI should take out that lanyard magnetic option to help others avoid the loss that I experienced with just moderate activities.
6:28 Haha. RockSteady does not work reliably with shutter speeds lower than ~1/300s, so you can throw the 180 degrees shutter angle rule out of the window. Same reason you shouldn't be using any ND filters with it.
why on earth do you think h264 will remain more data by recording? because files are bigger??? please read more about these codecs and then make a video
I think I’ll get this for my wife’s birthday. That way I can use it but she thinks it’s hers. Watching from Ahemdabad, India bc we lost the cricket match!
I got mine yesterday, ordered on Amazon . The product was sadly activated already, contacted customer care , at first they told me they’ll give me 60$ partial refund, I asked for more, they refunded all my money and said “ you don’t have to return the product, you can use it as it is or dispose or donate it “ 😂. So it’s technically free 😂
Well TBH, lowering your shutter speed will introduce motion blur, which is really bad for the any sort of stabilization, including rocksteady. I don't understand why everyone recommends that 180 shutter angle on an action cam. It's bullshit, don't use it, don't believe the idiotism. If the camera is on stable surface, than it's okay to do it so.
DJI Action 2 will be over heated and shut down after 4 minutes, when record 4K 120fp, take a while for camera to back to work, gopro 10 can take 4k 240fp without a problem.

Yes he has no idea what he’s talking about there
@@christangey so need to be HEVC? Which is better?
@@christangey troll much noob?
Agree, HEVC is better than h.264, you get the same quality with smaller file size compare to h264 format
I just bought dji action 2 few days ago and looking for best setting, thanks so much for your explanation! Now everything more clear for me.
What setting would you recommend for instagram reels?
X2
Thanks man! love your tutorial. SUBSCRIBED!
Ahh appreciate it 🙏🏽
when I put my action 2 on my fpv drone and record in 4k 16:9 at 30fps and shutter set on 1/60 I get a lot of motion blur / studering

Good job 👏 , very detailed and informative review thank you.
Awesome video, very informative :) Thankyou !!!
cool tips, thanks..!
Just ordered mine, can’t wait to get it. This actually will be my very first action camera ever owned. Great video, I’ll definitely refer back to it to guide me with setup.
That’s great to hear! Glad I could help :)
When you are using the screen module do both screens have to be on at the same time? Or can you turn off the back screen if, say you are vlogging?
Both screens have to be doing the same function unfortunately!
You can! Technically the back screen will stay on, but it will go black.
I don't have iso range in manual setting. Which firmware version were you using?
h.265 is more efficient than h.265 that means it is at the same visual quality at a smaller file size and that is why it was invented. Bigger file size does not mean better in that case.

Great breakdown vid man
Thanks so much brotha!
Great video and tips thanks
You bet :)
Thank you for going over the video settings for FPV, much appreciated!!!
what minimum read and write speed i need in external memory card for shooting in 4k 60 fps D log color, any memory card model suggestions
Sandisk gold
So excited about the product! Thanks for the indepth video!
Thanks so much Haniyya :)
Thank you for providing such detailed information... Recently, I bought a DJI Action 2 ... I really appreciate the information you provided ...
Great video! Thrilled to see the intro back.
I think we all are 😂
It's like an accessory, my wife is going to love this.
I totally forget I’m even wearing it sometimes! So convenient for everyone :)
This is sooo cool! Had no idea! Thank you so much for sharing such informative content!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🔥🔥
amazing and detailed information!
What is the mount called in your thumbnail? And would it work with action 3
would be even better if there was nd filters for the action 2.
I’m more than certain magnetic NDs are on their way haha
There is I have them
형 진짜 고마워
소니 fdr-x3000r 에서 dji 넘어오고 화질이나 셋팅 못해서 후회 하고있었는데
정말 형 영상 너무 잘보고
너무 최고야
화질이 달라졌어
형
사랑해
나의 행운을 전달합니다
화이팅
형 건강해 사랑해

@@StephenProffittYeah, thats what i thought so too. I still like the action 2 regardless
Great video, just picked mine up yesterday and adjusted my settings as recommended before playing around with it.

good work brother tnk u so much ❤

Secondly if I play a clip there is no sound. How do I adjust volume
why my camera does not offer 4k/120 in video?
how about the best setting if you're using polarised filters?
I wonder if it will come in different colors.
For now it seems like it’s the only colour! :)
Cant wait for the husband from Ahemdabad, India to get me DJI Action 2!! Looks sick
I’m sure he’s well prepared 😂😂😂
Sick breakdown

Missed the option where to se mov instead of mp4?
thanks mate!
You bet!
Wow so informative
just got mine. its good one.
Might cop
Definitely should dude!
I have question? How can i set Dji action 2 4k/120fps ? Pls reply
Not possible
In the settings
В 4К 4х3 не получается поставить h.264 🤷♂️
Your enthusiasm is inspiring. Speaking slightly slower would help.
Appreciate the feedback will keep that in mind :)
iso 100 - 400 is too dark, how I have to do?
why on earth do you think h264 will remain more data by recording? because files are bigger??? please read more about these codecs and then make a video
This tiny thing has a bigger sensor than the Gopro? That's a head scratcher.
Yessir 👀👀 and DJI wants you to know haha
The Moire distortion is terrible. Maybe DJI can license Pentax' switchable low pass filter?
I think I’ll get this for my wife’s birthday. That way I can use it but she thinks it’s hers. Watching from Ahemdabad, India bc we lost the cricket match!
LMAO ZAIN 😂😂

why have background music when u talk... SWITCH OFF THE BLOODY MUSIC WHEN YOU SPEAK. im off to a different channel ...
That thing is so small I feel like I’d lose it in a day tops
I currently don’t know where mine is 😅
Subarashi!!

the worst camera, a failure, it does not serve neither for action, nor for blo, it is very delicate,
Its perfect for FPV flying.
