Certainly not worth the drive.

Exactly my thoughts!

There must be a sensible way to resolve it.

For me, I see no reason to get an Action 2 after getting the Pocket 2. But I am not saying it's not useful to anybody, and the modular design is an interesting idea (and probably a good excuse for DJI to make more money by selling us a bunch of additional modules and accessories )

I am not much of an extreme sports person myself, but I can see that some people have their uses for a water-proof and shock-proof camera. And even though there are user scenarios where you could use either one, both also specialize in their own purposes (the Action 2 for extreme sports conditions, the Pocket 2 for tracking, for example).

I have a osmobile mobile but Im fed up with them not supporting the latest phones,  like iPhone 13 pro max.  so a dedicated little camera is the way forward and I like to do motion lapses.   thus P3.

Those sound like plausible enough reasons. Seems to me that if you want the support for the latest ones, you'll need to but the latest tech.

Sadly though the Om gimbals keep getting released a week before the new iPhones so they are always a year behind.

If the CPU is hitting its max temp throttling and crashes tend to kick in.   Sometimes the coolers just aren’t good enough but usually the common one I see a lot is the cooler is full of dust so the airflow can’t do it’s thing.

I will check later.
It is just doing what it should do now, except for the tracking, but that is a lack of contrast.

Worth a check anyway.  It’s such a common cause of issues.

Mine was opened about 1 year ago. Not much dust behind the vents.
But I always use it in a stand that should protect it from sucking up too much.

A stand help a lot. But always worth checking those temps,  its free and easy to do.

I'm convinced it is a Davinci error.
Because it happens at a certain point in the video.
I will do more testing tonight.

Hi abe you thought about running your footage through handbrake first to re encode it in case it’s the original codec is flakey.

Nope.
I am just going to test that one part that is failing and decide what is best.
