The DJI Action 2 is the next generation of action camera from the kings of the drone world. In a daring bid to prove that GoPro isn't the only game in town when it comes to action cams, DJI has given its Osmo Action camera a major rejig.

The DJI Action 2's main unit is compact and lightweight. This pocket-sized cube registers a mere 56g on the scales, which is fantastic news for anyone who wants to mount it on their head, chest or other body part; you'll definitely notice a worn Action 2 less than you would a GoPro HERO 10 Black, which weighs a relatively hefty 158g.

On top of the main camera unit, extra battery power, storage and even a front-facing touchscreen can be added via clipping on magnetic modules, and the mounting system is magnetic too. The magnet system is backed up by a spring-loaded catch in most cases, which means you're not totally reliant on magnetic attraction to keep your camera in place.
