DJI Action 2 ₹54,990

The Action 2 is the second version of DJI’s action cameras. The Action 2 has a refined and unique design, unlike the Osmo Action, DJI’s first action camera, which broadly resembled GoPro’s Hero series cameras. The latest version has a square cross section with a lightweight aluminium alloy body. The device measures only 3.9 x 3.9 x 2.2 cm and weighs just 56 g. The Action 2 has an innovative magnetic locking system to attach the camera with any of the wide range of accessories available. The camera unit is built sturdy and is drop, dust and waterproof up to 10 metres. The touchscreen and lens cover glass are constructed with Corning Gorilla Glass, though DJI does not reveal which series. The camera has a premium matte finish. The small form factor allows only a lens and an LCD, apart from a multifunctional power button on top. The camera module is completely sealed, without even a charging port.
