As a professional photographer and content creator living in Los Angeles, I’m always looking for fresh ways to improve the quality of my content and provide more value to my clients and followers. I’ve always thought of camera gear as an extension of our own creativity. It doesn’t matter if I’m capturing unique perspectives far and wide or special moments found in everyday life. So, when the folks at Adorama challenged me to put the all-new DJI Action 2 Camera to the test, I was ready.
With just one day to capture content, I knew I wanted to bring it with me for a day of photography around the city. I’ve always been impressed with DJI’s products ever since the Mavic Pro back in 2016, so I definitely had high expectations for the new DJI Action 2 Camera.
Key Features of the DJI Action 2 Camera:
- Magnetic versatility
- 4K/120FPS & super-wide FOV
- Portable & wearable
- HorizonSteady
- 10m waterproof
- AI editor
- 4-mic matrix stereo
From freeway overlook time lapses, to downtown POV shots, to Venice with the FPV drone, the Action 2’s performance really blew me away. The update I’m most excited about as a content creator is its innovative magnetic design and included magnetic lanyard. This makes it easier than ever to capture versatile POV/BTS footage while out on shoots. The magnetic feature also provides versatility to swap out accessories on the go, or attach the Action 2 to a variety of action camera mounts, like I did with my tripod to capture clean time-lapse videos.
Ready to Vlog
Another feature I absolutely love is the front-facing camera that’s great for vlogging. It also has a built-in 4-mic matrix stereo that captures crystal-clear audio. The Action 2 can be detached into two separate pieces, making it perfect to attach to a FPV drone and capture awesome action shots.
I’m also impressed with how small and lightweight the device is. It makes it a no-brainer for packing in my camera bag each time I head out. The video clips and photos speak for themselves. Although, I was also stunned by the quality of the 4K/120FPS footage I captured from the DJI Action 2 Camera.
Overall, the DJI Action 2 surpassed all my expectations, and I absolutely recommend adding it to your camera bag. Whether you’re a content creator looking to get unique angles and perspectives, an action sports junkie, or just looking to easily capture memorable events — the Action 2 does it all.
For those looking to do more with the Action 2, the Power Combo includes a swappable power module with the ability to film for up to 180 minutes. It also has a microSD card slot. Designed with vloggers in mind, the Dual Screen Action 2 Combo includes accessories needed to maximize your creativity. This includes a front touchscreen module.
