Yes but did you record 20 - 30 minute long videos ? i think not.
But this is a common problem, even for a camera like the Osmo Action made with a 14 nm SOC.
The problem i think the Osmo action are able to transport that heat to the outside of the camera housing faster,,,,, which in general are good as it should mean it should last longer before temperatures inside force it to do a thermal shut down.
So what can we / Dji do in this regard :
1: Make it so people can choose lower bitrates, but that can impact image quality depending on what you shoot, some things you don't really need 100 mbit.
2: Make a new camera with another SOC made on say 7 nm, but this are not given that it mean less heat generated, just look at new AMD navi GFX cards ( 7 nm ) Vs Nvidia comparative cards made on 12 nm fabrication.
The AMD GFX cards do get just as warm if not hotter, and power consumption are not smaller in spite of using 7nm Vs 12 nm
Problem is i don't think there are a SOC on 7 nm yet, and if there it it are probably a lot more expensive than what is currently used.
So yeah it suck things get so hot, but you cant just wave some magic wand and make that heat go away, if is there and it have to go somewhere.
I think as long as it don't thermal throttle / shut down in mid recording its fine, but you might need to watch your fingers or operate camera with the APP on the phone so you don't have to touch it when it is warm.
And if you know a cool running camera in this class do let people know, but just don't go gopro 7 black, cuz that sucker have problems of its own in this regard.
searching ( google ) :
gopro 7 black overheating = 267.000 hits
dji action overheating = 131.000 hits
And you will find the same issue with other lesser / older cameras too.
So don't like hot camera, record smaller clips, or use another camera,,, just don't expect miracles.
Maybe use a larger cage, maybe ALU to safeguard your fingertips.
