Trying to make a longer hyperlaps, with the Action 2 mounted on my bike, so cooling is not the issue. But it stops recording at random intervals?

Hello, there. Sorry for the late reply. Is there any error message prompt? Besides, are you using the camera unit alone? Please tell us more details about it. Thank you.

Hello All
Why when I connect Action 2 directly to PC Windows 10 to transfer the files, it killed my Wifi! This is unthinkable but it is true. Have you ever experienced something like that?

Hi, there. Sorry for the late reply. May we know whether can the computer recognize the device or not? Please tell us more details about your issues. We will try our best to help you out.

actually I've tried a couple adapters that are used for both Samsung S21 Ultra and Xiaomi at home.  Neither worked on the Action 2 with my Rode Smartlav + (TRS) or another no name TRRS lav mic.  I've also tried a Saramonic USB C to TRS,  and my DJI pocket adaptor, neither of which worked. I've since "heard" that it must be a USB C to TRRS adapter, but cannot find DJI documentation that specifies if it must be TRS or TRRS and don't know if any of my adapters are TRRS (except the Saramonic TRS).  
However, I can use a Huawei USB C phone "small talk", with no problems.  The sound is crap, but it works for both recording and listening to videos.  No monitoring though.
I've ordered an Saramoni USB C lav mic and expect/hope it will do the trick.

I'm trying to sort it out as well.
I got this adapter:

and it is working... but only with trrs head/earphones sets (with mic present) connected. I want to connect my trs microphone without success. I tried various trrs to trs adapters with no success. So basically I am sure that the port in action 2 works and can grab the mic signal but no luck with connecting anything better that those crappy mobile earphone/mic sets like the one below:




Did you had any luck with that Peter? Or anyone else?

It seems many people on here are not too happy with the fact that this new edition is very different from the GoPro .... Well ... almost. GoPro has a smaller camera called Hero Session, and I see the latest DJI camera as a competitor to the session. It is much smaller than the regular GoPro, and has many commendable features.

I just want to buy a camera to shoot the fish underwater. I just go diving

Sorry from my side, not to react. It seems after an update that the problem is solved.
Ther was no error message, by the way. The apparatus just switched off.

I had the original Osmo Action and loved it.  Until my house got broken into and it got stolen.  Since then, I've waited for over a year for this Action 2 to come out with high anticipation of buying it, but sad to say, I'm going to have to do a hard pass!!  Slick design, I like the magnetic feature, but only 32gigs internal storage for a 4k 120fps camera and no memory card slot to expand it?  I have to attach the external battery in order to gain additional storage that, in turn, makes the device too big for action use?  How am I attaching all that to a helmet, or ski's, surfboard, etc?

Here is the scenario I would have to do:  I put this on my helmet and go shoot video for about 20 minutes, come back and be like, "hold on, I have to offload this video footage before I can go back out and shoot more because this thing ONLY has 32 gigs of storage".  I'm NOT doing that, that's an epic fail!  The main body should have 128 gigs minimum if you're not going to allow for a memory card slot.  (probably an exaggeration, but you get my point)

It sounds like you're feeling frustrated and disappointed with the design choices made in the DJI Action 2, and I can totally see why. It must have been exciting to anticipate the release of a new product, especially after losing your previous Osmo Action. The limitations on internal storage and the lack of a memory card slot can be significant drawbacks, especially for high-resolution video recording where space fills up quickly.

The point you make about having to offload footage frequently is a valid concern. This could be a real hindrance during action sports where you'd ideally want continuous shooting without interruptions. The need to attach an external battery to expand storage can indeed make the setup bulkier and less practical for action-based activities like skiing or surfing.
