DJI Action 2

Compact size ; Clever magnetic modular design ; Extra wide field of view ; Effective horizon levelling EIS

Prone to overheating ; Poor performance in low light ; Add-on modules not waterproof

The DJI Action 2’s video performance may be respectable rather than groundbreaking, but its pioneering magnetic mounting and mod system not only works brilliantly – it also serves to set it apart from all its rivals in the action cam market. This is a...

Wer eine kleine, leichte und unauffällige Action-Cam sucht, ist bei DJI genau richtig. Das modulare System ist clever, je nach Einsatzgebiet dockt mag(net)isch das passende Zubehör an. Durch Magnet-Module mit Zweitbildschirm oder Zusatzakku wird sie...

När DJI klev in på actionkameramarknaden med sin Osmo Action så fick den goda omdömen i vårt test. Nu, drygt två år senare, har uppföljaren Action 2 kommit och det är i princip som om de har börjat om från början när det gäller design och...

Quid de la robustesse ? ; Autonomie limitée ; Problème de chauffe ; Stabilisation encore imparfaite ; Horizon Steady en 2,7K seulement ; Module batterie et écran secondaire non étanche
