They had the Action 2 available on the DJI store before the reveal video was released so I took the plunge and ordered the dual screen kit. So I guess I'll see if it is as Potato Jet says, it has horse power, lol. I tend to watch his videos and Flytpath. Potato Jet and Aldryn are usually pretty spot on with their reviews. In Aldryn's video he demonstrats the horizon lock feature and that to me looks cool as all get out, he rotated the camera a full 360 and it looked as though it never moved. The FOV looks great too. Was hoping for a higher resolution but for the size it is, I don't think I can complain a whole lot there. Can't wait to get it in and give it a go.

Thanks, DAFlys. Hopefully I'll get it in pretty quick and do my own review on it. See if it stacks up like the rest (influencers) are saying only thing I'm afraid of is it being modular and not being able to keep track of the parts

I've ordered too, after some initial misunderstanding about the SD card slot situation (which is on both the clip on modules).

Yeah, the SD card slot is either on the front facing module or the battery module depending on which kit you get or in my case, I'll probably end up ordering the battery module later and having one on each. But that is a maybe seeing what the price of the battery module is going to be. Accessories seems to be a little pricey if you ask me. That's why we have third party companies though, lol.

This looks like a really useful product.  I can't wait to get my hands on the dual screen version.

I think the battery module was said to be over $100 but I can't point to a link.  It does seem that it can be added to the screen module making a three tier device - which seems odd but that would make a good handle in effect.  Not so good for mounting of course.

Edit - $89 Australian in the store - reserve only.

I think it’s $75 to reserve one in for the US. Initially I thought that a little pricey, but DJI batteries have a history of that, plus for what it does, I guess that isn’t horrible

Good day to you and yours DJI Stephen. I trust all is well! I do think the action 2 will be a good investment, although I do have some concerns with the Modular design. Thank you for the link to the FAQ page too!!

Not right now.
I have a Pocket 2 that I really like.
And don't really have hobbies where I need an actioncam.
When I do need that, I have an Olympus Tough TG5 (for swimming trips etc.)

That makes all the sense in the world. I don't have many hobbies that I actually need an action cam, but I traditionally use my original osmo action for lots of other things than action cam type stuff.

I received my DJI action 2 via FedEx today. Surprisingly as I haven’t had much luck with FedEx as of late so my hats off for them delivering on time this time around. I’m working up an unboxing/review and so far I can say I’m mostly pleased. I can say the part that I’m not pleased is that none of the external audio input solutions that I had for the original osmo action does not work at all with the action 2 so I will have to figure out a way to solve that it face purchasing a new much more expensive wireless solution. I like the looks of the DJI mic but at $369 is more expensive that’s what I’d like to spend. The ride wireless go 2 is less expensive but still up there in cost. I’ve got it charging up so I can play with it a little later.

Well I was going to do an unboxing but my portable ssd decided to take a dump and had to be reformatted so I lost my video of the actual unboxing. But that’s ok, not like there isn’t a ton of unboxing videos already. That will let me focus on other things. I may do a re-unboxing not sure though.

Personally, when I see reference to unboxing, I tend to not watch the video!  It's a strange phenomenon.  Maybe just show the contents on a tabletop and briefly explain the functions of each part, but that's been done a lot already too.  The YouTube 'market' might now be moving to footage examples, though I admit reception of mine has been somewhat short of viral.  But me talking for 5 minutes about the A2 a couple of days before launch got 850 or so.  YouTube is weird...

YouTube is weird. My very first unboxing/review is still getting hits while others, not so much. My guess is that it maybe content relevance dependent or something. I don't have a whole lot on my channel nor do I have but a handful of subs and I don't even have a specific direction that I'm taking my channel in. I guess it's kind of an experiment to be honest. i created the channel a long time ago and when I first started it, I didn't do anything with it because I didn't know what I wanted to do with it. I still don't in a way but over the last year, I've got a base idea of the direction I would like to go and who knows if it will mesh with YouTubes weirdness, LOL.
