Renowned drone maker DJI has updated its portable camera offering with the launch, today, of the DJI Action 2 camera. The camera is a successor to the Osmo Action camera which was launched way back in 2019 to take on the GoPro. 
The naming system for Action 2 is slightly modified from its predecessor with the removal of the Osmo moniker. That notwithstanding, the still retains the dual-display design of its predecessor. It also arrives with several accessories and add-ons with magnetic properties.
The camera features a small module measuring 39mm square and 22mm deep. The camera packs a 12MP sensor that can record 4K videos. The 12MP lens has a wide 155-degree field of view. The device also packs a 1.76-inch OLED touchscreen protected by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass.
The modular design allows users to attach a second touchscreen accompanied by an array of microphones. It is also possible to attach an extra battery and several mounts such as a tripod or GoPro mount. Users can also wear the camera like a necklace with an included lanyard.
The Action 2 camera weighs just 53 grams all thanks to the modularity. It comes with a built-in 32GB storage that can be expanded via a microSD card. The camera features support for electronic stabilization and horizon leveling. It can be used for live streaming or as a webcam.
Talking of the pricing and availability, DJI Action 2 camera is priced at $399. For this price, you get the camera along with a camera mount, a lanyard, and a power module that extends the record time to 180 minutes and adds an extra microSD card slot. Curiously, you can’t buy the camera without the bundle. There is a second bundle that includes the second touchscreen but the company will release that one on November 2nd.
