To recap

DJI’s Action 2 has taken things in a different direction compared to its first action camera. It’s nothing like a GoPro and - instead - introduces a premium metal build and a clevel modular design. It’s not cheap though, and the fact you have to snap on a module to get achieve basic tasks like expanding storage and transferring files manually means it may not end up being the most intuitive system in the world.
