    I returned a go pro 10 for an action 2 and don’t regret it!
    A tip: you can leave the 2 modules together and just plug in a USB c cord to the bottom module, then copy all the files from the internal storage or SD card to your computer. It’s much faster than transferring the internal files to the sd card.

    I’ve had the Action 2 for more than 4 months and very happy with it except two things which I knew about before I purchased (and had slowed my purchase decision) the those are (1) not enough internal memory and (2) battery life of the camera module. These are obvious issues though. I’ve never had any overheat and all may use is very long video takes of action video from on my gravel bike, MTB and on the road.
    What I love is the form factor (for my use GoPro is too big as was the Osmo Action). The video quality is excellent and the rock steady even better than I expected. The built quality is very high end and the controls and options give great usability. Many accessories are coming being released.
    The reason I need the small form factor is for criterium bicycle racing. There can be a lot of action in these races, very fast on the edge racing and the bikes are aero and light. Everything is minimalist and about absolute speed. You can’t afford a big, chunky GoPro on you crit racing bike. Most races are 45-55 minutes so this is where the problem is if it gets close to an hour the battery will be flat and even running 1080P you cant get a lot more than 50 minutes. The video from the racing is great and I can live with 1080P for this action but on the longer races your going to not fit in the end of the race. Turn the camera on at the start line and that’s the last chance yo7 can touch it as your head down racing at heart rate 160-190 BPM for the next 45-50 minutes.
    One thing I’ve been able to do for longer rides that are not races is shoot in interval mode. For example A photo every second and that takes a long time to fill the onboard memory. These might be 3-4 hour rides. But what about battery for that time? Well I have one of those high quality Tilta cages.
    The Tilta cage has its own magnetic mount so clips under my handlebar but the great thing about the Tilta cage is that it has built in USB C charger. Instead of having to charge from the clip on battery unit you can charge through USB C direct to the camera module. So for long battery use I have a short 10cm USB C cable running to a small power bank on a rubber mount under my bikes handle bar it’s still very aero as it mounted up flush out of the way with the short 10cm USB cable running the power straight into the Action 2 camera module via the Tilta cage.
    It’s still discrete and out of the way so power is no longer a problem. But video is still limited to the small internal memory. Why could it not haven been 64GB or 128GB? On a multi hour ride there is no time to stop and offload video. So with this set up I’m limited to Timelapse with with interval photos up to running up to 5hrs.

    I run an action 2 on two of my fpv drones where weight is a huge consideration. It's half the weight of a GoPro 10 so I get considerably longer flight times and improved handling. Plus the image quality is excellent and you have a log file option if you like doing your own color grading.

    I've watched/read so many reviews on this, and the overheating thing while I understand can be a problem in mounted extreme sports scenarios, I see this as a camera to take with me to make travel film-style videos. The FOV is incredible. The portability. The stuff you could do with it for creative shots and transitions. I can't dip my fujifilm into a river stream for example. Or how about if I can't afford a £2,000 Weather sealed set up but I want something to be able to use in case it starts raining heavily, or if it's dusty outside. And why don't people understand this can go into places a Mirrorless/DSLR can't, such as a shot from inside a bag or even the ease of mounting it for scenes such as when driving etc. I see people's videos on RUclips and shots don't last more than a few seconds, for argument's sake let's say a minute. I can see how it can be very suitable in the scenarios mentioned above. Also found it for £240 on sale so it seems like a steal at that price? Thanks for your videos man!

    For your screen protector, do you recommend putting one on the main camera? I plan to use ND filters on it, so I was concerned about the image quality by putting the screen protector on it. On the other hand, it would be good to protect the front screen.

    When you said the filters can be used with a magnetic system, do they require any adapter for the magnetic filters to be held in place? I think the metal case must be sufficient for use with the magnetic filters, without anything further being required to enable the magnetic filters to be held in place.

  • @Ozpeter
    @Ozpeter 2 года назад +1

    Yet another well balanced review with samples that can be compared with those in your other reviews - excellent. But of course I have some points to mention...
    - For a protective filter perhaps a UV filter is best, as it does not have any adverse effect on EIS.
    - You don't have to move the files from the internal storage to the SD card unless you are away from your base, as the internal storage can be copied direct to a PC.
    - Overheating issues (and fragility issues) have recently been addressed by DJI who will be making a case available to existing and new purchasers without charge. The case appears to be designed to insulate rather than dissipate but the camera senses when it is fitted and adjusts its maximum running times accordingly.
    - For me the main plus points are the two options for horizon levelling, the excellent surround sound from the built in mics, and the ability to accept digital audio sources (input and output) via the USB-C connection, which is I believe unique in the video camera world. In fact I don't think there's an audio recorder with this feature either.

    • @TheHybridShooter
      @TheHybridShooter  2 года назад +2

      - sure, that was just for demonstration purposes, I don't have UV filter yet
      - you do, when you run out of storage, which don't take too long
      - The cage will act as a radiator, it will transfer the heat and provide larger surface for heat dispersion

    • @Ozpeter
      @Ozpeter 2 года назад +1

      @@TheHybridShooter Well, the case is heat resistant polymer - according to the review I've been watching it makes it more comfortable to hold rather than more cool - a bit like an oven glove. That's presumably why the camera detects the presence of the case, so it allows the camera to get hotter, knowing the user won't get burned. I guess we will have to wait for someone to apply proper temperature measuring instruments to it to know exactly what is going on.

    With the screen protector, have you noticed any haze on the edges of your videos/photos? I had another brand on Amazon (brand: ULBTER) and noticed it created a wavy haze on some of the edges. I noticed it initially when I did timelapse/video of water with a nice blue skyline. Then I went back to check other videos and noticed it slightly on those as well. It was amplified with the ND/CPL filters.
    I know the filters apply a level of protection but if I could get a tempered glass protector as well, I'd like to. Just curious if you happen to notice anything like that with the ones you linked or not.
