DJI Action 2 - Remote Control Extension Rod & Tripod / Selfie Pole : REVIEW

I like it however self stick is so short 😮

Finally ! A useful video on the DJI Action 2 remote control. I was waiting the 30 seconds for the remote controller to connect to the camera. LOL Ah just pressure the red dot. Thanks!

Great review… by the way there is no s at the end of anyway

Is it waterproof .? Fail as an action cam right ?

Great with the Action 3 too👍

Can i use this while using dji action 2 Waterproof Case?

Can you use the remote with a phone as well or is it exclusively for the Action Cam?

Will the remote fit in the handle with a tether attached to it? 🤔

Great review. I've just bought this for A3 and works brilliantly

감사합니다.

Please reply 🙏 how switch off the beep sound,it will blow my cover

How long before it turns off? and how easy is it to start recording again? Do you have to press the camera on/off button each time?

Insta360 Go2 or Action 2 which one you suggest to go for?

How far away can the remote still operate the camera?

Thank You. I also thank you for your chanel, very well done.

Nice review. I can not see the positive aspect of the DJI action 2 because the module to view what you are filming is facing
the front. To see what I am filming I would want the screen facing me and the camera facing the front. Am I missing
something ? I don't have a cell phone either.

What about the range of the Bluetooth, this is surely one of the key questions? Have you tested the distance?

Bez sensu że górny przycisk sugeruje tzw. możliwości np. zoom. To mógłby być zwykły przycisk bo nic nie daje! Tylko przełączenie pomiędzy trybami nagrywania. W goopro można włączyć i wyłączyć kamerę a tu tylko sam pilot : ( chociaż jest zdalny (ale to mamy w aplikacji) to jednak "kijek" nie ładuje kamery jak Volta z GoPro : (

It would be nice if the remote could turn on and off the camera. Deal breaker for me

there needs to be a pause system on it.

if you use a Hand Wrist Strap Lanyard on the small control you can't push it back into the Extension Rod as the Lanyard is in the way.

I agree, a motorcycle, bicycle etc handlebar mount for the remote can be an invaluable accessory when it comes to controlling 2 or more cameras. It would be very cool to sync recording for front, rear and POV cameras. Thanks for the meticulous review!

they missed the boat with this if you were using it over the crowds heads you no way of seeing what on the screen, yet we can use your mobile, the pocket style extensions with the ability to hold your mobile near the handle so you can see whats going on.
The PGYTECH Action Camera Extension Pole Tripod Plus,makes a better blogging and general tripod holding your mobile for control.

can you start the recording while the camera is powered off?

They could have made grip as a power bank. DJI intentionally not doing that while the GoPro does.

Excellent review--thanks! Very disappointed the remote is not IP65. An action cam not designed to be used in the rain?

Why could DJI provide firmware for webcam functionality on the DJI Osmo Action 2 but not the FIRST DJI Osmo Action? What about the consumers who already have the first DJI Osmo Action? I believe it would be possible since they already managed to put the webcam function in the Action 2. Come on DJI, why you gotta do your consumers dirty! We’ve been waiting 2 WHOLE YEARS.

so You say'ing One Remote can control up to 8 CAMERAS ???? also it will be able to change settings over 8 cameras ? P.s. well I am planing to use 2 cameras with one remote

Mine has arrived - and I love it - but...

- It's a great pity a cold shoe wasn't moulded into the side of it to accept accessories such as a mic.
- When attaching a 3rd party cold shoe between the tripod and the camera, the little locking pins get in the way of the cold shoe (which of course doesn't have the necessary sockets). It's a pity the pins don't retract. I'll have to improvise some kind of pad between the cold shoe and the tripod into which those pins can push.
- The remote control is designed to handle up to 8 cameras, but I suspect the number of users who will use that will be miniscule. However, when you turn on the remote, it starts hunting for extra cameras every time. When it finds the first one, a figure 1 appears on the display, and unless you then press the red button to stop the hunt, it will continue for 30 seconds. No big deal, but perhaps the button on the side should have been devoted to multi-camera use, rather than the device defaulting to expect multi cameras, which as I said will almost never be present.
- The lanyard attachment holes are so placed that you can't put the remote into the tripod if you have a lanyard attached.

Plus point - I could imagine using a bit of sticky putty to attach the remote to a car steering wheel, and then you attach the camera in the car out of reach somewhere, and you could control the camera from the steering wheel as desired. I'm sure many other such scenarios could be dreamed up. Given that many users are finding that the Mimo app no longer works with the Action 2, this way of having at least a degree of remote control is very welcome.

Wish list - I wonder whether a firmware upgrade could enable the remote to work with the Pocket 2 as well? Yes, I tried it and no, it doesn't pair.

Nice review - tells you everything you need to know. I have the remote control extension rod. To prevent losing the tiny remote control pad I have tried connecting a wrist attachment - with the thinnest loop I could find. However, it was then impossible to get the remote controller to fit back into the handle because of the very snug fit. Shame because I can see me dropping the little pad accidentally and never finding it again. Perhaps I should paint the remote a bright yellow!

I just got this extension rod and remote! I love it!!

Nice review!
