Everyone is waiting for the premiere of the Mavic 3 drones from DJI, but this will happen a little later, and today the company introduced the Action 2 action camera. And, I must say, the new product is completely different from its predecessor. Moreover, the very concept of an action camera has changed.
For example, in some cases, it does not need any mounts at all, because there are powerful magnets in the case. Installing a camera on a car body is generally easier than ever. However, Action 2 is also compatible with standard action camera mounts.
The second important point: the camera has become modular. On the bottom panel of the case there is a contact pad for connecting and communicating with additional modules. Such a module can be a battery or, for example, a built-in battery with a front display (it will make it easy to shoot yourself, since, unlike Osmo Action, Action 2 does not support a front screen).
The camera’s own display is characterized by a diagonal of 1.76 inches and a resolution of 446 x 424 pixels. It uses an OLED panel, protected from the outside by durable Gorilla Glass. Of course, the screen is touch-sensitive. Its own rechargeable battery with a capacity of 580 mAh provides the camera with 70 minutes of autonomy. With an additional display module, autonomy increases to 160 minutes, with a battery module (the battery capacity of both modules is 1300 mAh) – up to 180 minutes.
The DJI Action 2 features a 1 / 1.7-inch optical format CMOS sensor that supports 4K 120fps or Full HD 204fps video recording. The angle of view of the lens is 155 °. There is no optical stabilization system, but there is electronic RockSteady 2.0, which works in conjunction with the horizon leveling system HorizonSteady. DJI will optionally offer a macro lens for the camera – it, like some other modules, will go on sale later.
The camera is equipped with a Wi-FI 802.11ac adapter and supports microSD memory cards up to 256 GB. Protection from water has remained the same: the DJI Action 2 itself can dive to a depth of 10 meters, and with an underwater box – up to 60 meters. Dimensions of new items are 39 x 39 x 22.3 mm, weight – 56 grams.
DJI Action 2 is already available to order from the manufacturer’s website. The Power Combo kit, which includes a camera with an additional battery, costs $ 400. A Dual-Screen Combo kit, in which a camera with a display module, is priced at $ 520. But the Dual-Screen Combo will go on sale in early November, and, for example, the mic model will be delayed until December.
