DJI, the world’s leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, today announces the launch of the new action camera DJI Action 2. Featuring DJI’s unparalleled expertise in stabilisation systems, DJI Action 2 is smaller, more versatile, and more powerful than its predecessor, giving everyone the tools and the confidence to capture life’s adventures in crystal-clear 4K.
The interchangeable and adaptive magnetic design opens new vistas to make every video compelling, with unique tools to frame, shoot, and monitor a camera. “Whether you’re racing down a mountain or playing tag with your kids on a playground, everybody deserves an easy and intuitive tool to capture and remember life’s beautiful moments,” said Paul Pan, DJI Senior Product Line Manager.
“We stripped our action camera down to its fundamentals and rebuilt it from the ground up to create DJI Action 2. You can configure this camera for neighborhood walks, hang gliding off a cliff, music festivals, and countless other action-packed moments. DJI Action 2 embeds DJI’s legendary technology in a revolutionary new series of mounts and fittings, making it easier than ever to see your life in action.”
Modular, Wearable Design
Weighing 56 grams, the new compact and innovative modular design allows users to take DJI Action 2 anywhere. With multiple configurations and mounting combinations, users have unlimited control over how they want to creatively capture the world. It has options to attach to a helmet to film an FPV bike ride, mount on a surfboard to get right next to a breaking wave, and wear securely on a shirt to create an easy, hands-free timelapse of a tour in a new city. From vlogging to extreme sports, Action 2 is a triple threat – dustproof, waterproof and drop-proof – and robust enough to withstand the ups and downs of life’s adventures.
DJI Action 2 comprises the camera unit and various modules – the front touchscreen module, power module, and various mounting peripherals – that can be interchanged. DJI Action 2’s touchscreens are redesigned to make it easier and more convenient to control. The camera unit features a 1.76-inch OLED touchscreen with an additional OLED screen on the front touchscreen module, which attaches securely to the bottom of the camera unit via magnetic locks, allowing users to set up a selfie and vlog instantly. Protected with Gorilla Glass, the touchscreens usehaptic feedback for more precise control, allowing one to navigate through the camera settings quickly. Users will not have to worry about missing any of the action with SnapShot, which allows them to turn the camera on and instantly begin recording in just 1 second by holding the power button down.
Powerful Imaging System
A 1/1.7-inch sensor records up to 4K/120fps video for incredible detail, and a super-wide 155° Field of View (FOV) captures your entire surroundings for immersive footage. A newly implemented Colour Temperature Sensor helps the camera restore colour tones in complex lighting conditions and underwater recording for more natural, vibrant results.
Following its predecessor, DJI Action 2 incorporates RockSteady 2.0, DJI’s proprietary Electronic Image Stabilisation (EIS) technology. For a new level of smoothness, HorizonSteady maintains a level frame throughout the shot, even while capturing dynamic moments. The DJI Action 2 Camera Unit has a battery with a run time of up to 70 minutes on its own, 160 minutes when connected with the Front Touchscreen Module, and 180 minutes with the power module.
Using DJI Action 2 with the front touchscreen Module also incorporates DJI Matrix Stereo technology, first seen in DJI Pocket 2. The single microphone from the camera unit combines with the three microphones from the module to record audio from every direction, creating immersive sound during playback.
Packed with Intelligent Features
DJI Action 2 offers a variety of intelligent features, including:
- Slow Motion: Record video in slow motion (4x in 4K/120fps and 8x 1080p/240fps) to capture lasting moments
