DJI has announced their latest Action Camera - the DJI Action 2. The camera, a departure from the Original DJI Action which went toe-to-to with GoPro cameras has now followed a modular philosophy (Kind of like the InstaOne360 series and the now dead GoPro Session series) and thus is sealed up basically making it more of a cube which you can easily mount to any surface or wear easily.
The cube- which measures at 39x39x22.5mm weighs only 59g has only four noticeable features on the chassis - one is the camera - which is a 1/1.7" sensor with f2.8 aperture and a ultra wide 155 degree field of view. The sensor allows you to capture 12MP photos and it can record 4K at 120fps and has Rockstready 2.0 image stabilization and a horizon lock feature called "horizon steady".
The camera does record 4K but you can record only to the internal 32GB of storage as MicroSD cards are only available once you attach an external modular cube. Speaking of Modular, the cube has an array of pogo style connections at the bottom of the camera and it has a single shutter button on top.The rear has a 1.76" touchscreen display to preview or control some menu functions of the system.
The body itself is water resistant upto 10m, but if you wan't you can get a waterproof casing for diving sessions of 60m, but if you prefer dry land, DJI offers a plethora of accessories including a $329 DJI Mic wireless microphone system which can be used with the Action 2 or with Smartphones or cameras.
Other accessories include a Bluetooth extension grip, Macro Lenses for the Cube and external power cubes which are hot swappable. an external display for vlogging and even a lanyard to wear it. Pricing for the basic combo kit starts at $399 and it contains the said lanyard, magnetic adapter and one power module.
