UPDATE 13/11: Looks like price has gone back to RRP in most stores except for Teds, still offering the Dual Screen Combo for $299.95 Delivered with ClubTed (may be able to stack with free $10 for first purchase). Get it while you can

——-

Both the Dual Screen and Power Combo have dropped even lower than my recent post

Thanks to skido for the coupon code tips including link to Qantas Frequent Flyer for some points.

There's also a 4.5% increased cashback via Shopback (drops to 2.4% after 10/11/22 at 11.59pm AEDT) or 5% at Cashrewards (thanks mr3v0), but it may not stack since the code is not listed by Shopback / Cashrewards. The cashback is probably worth ~$12 on the Dual Screen combo, ~$8 on the power combo.

Slightly more expensive price at Georges linked below too (thanks GermanKangaroo for the tips). Also, seems like Amazon has price matched the Dual Screen Combo at the last minute (thanks Tohnio).

Dual Screen Combo $289 Delivered with code @ digiDirect (Sold Out) /~~ $299 + Delivery (free pickup) @ Georges~~ (Sold Out) / $299 Delivered @ Amazon (Sold Out)
Power Combo $189 Delivered with code @ digiDirect (Sold Out) / $199 + Delivery (free pickup) @ Georges (Sold Out)

If you purchased recently in Amazon, I just tried to ask refund on the price difference and they were happy to fulfill it for me. I did not ask for the further $10 difference using WESTPAC10 though as I didn't know about the code earlier.

NOTE: has gone down at d1store and Teds as well, I'd expect this to go down on most other stores in the coming days.

      Thanks! Have updated post

    • Has anyone pickup their order yet?

  • How to ask Amazon for refund?

      • thanks

      • Hi John, which option should we select?

        • Just select "Something Else" > "Contact Us" then choose to call or chat

          • @John: awesome, thanks!

          • @John: Just FYI John, They refused to refund the difference, but I noticed Amazon had 2 of them for $280 used - very good condition, no decided to return my one and purchase a used on from Amazon instead

            • @yeviisxc: I got refused on my first try. I tried the second time and said "can I get a refund for the price difference instead of returning the item". It worked and I got $66.61 refund.

              • @rbargaineer12: thanks for that tip, tried again, got refused again. haha

                • @yeviisxc: Yeah.. they wouldn't do it for me and kept citing: https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/help/customer/display.html?node…

                  "No price matching" blah blah.

                  even though I was claiming "my friends who bought the same product did" etc. They asked me to do a refund process and purchase the cheaper one from their competitor instead. Pretty suck if you ask me.

                  Might have a better chance if they dropped their price to compete against DigiDirect as well.. that way, it wouldn't be price matching but customer level price protection.

                  edit they DID drop the price.. argh.. going back in to ask for price protection..

                  • @bchliu: %^$@&^.. They claim that this is STILL considered as "Price Matching" even though it's not even 24 hours since I purchased it. AND they are charging $7 to return the postage.. That's so stupid.. @#^&@& Amazon.

                    • +1

                      @bchliu: Just return it and buy it from digiDirect. Its cheaper anyway even if they price match it to $299 minus the $7 return post. Fun fact, you have until end of January to return it.

                    • +2

                      @bchliu: You can avoid the return postage on Amazon by selecting not meeting expectations from the dropdown menu.

                      • @Sharp: Thanks. I'll give it a go. Almost doing this out of principle moreso than the $66 difference since they've been d*cking me around with this.

                        • @bchliu:

                          Aren't you dicking them around instead? They advertised the camera at a certain price, you willingly purchased it at that price, and later changed your mind. A store does not have to give a refund if a customer changes their mind.

  • can you use these on motorcycles and motorcycle helmets or stick to go pro? Price point here is very good and hard to pass.

  • Thanks john awesome post

  • +2

    in addition to cashback, use code: WESTPAC10 for an extra $10 off + link your qantas frequent flyers to get some points

    • Will that code negate the cashback?

      • +1

        they say that in the terms but sometimes not always the case in my experience. no harm in trying
        code would be better for the power combo anyway, since it comes down to approx 5% off and its an instant discount rather than a 60 day wait

    • Thanks mate, solid tips!

  • +1

    What's the one to buy?

    edit: got the power combo. Buy now, regret later!

    • +1

      Was thinking the same, ended up buying the power combo, not sure how useful an extra screen will do.

      • Would definitely get the extra screen.

        • What is the reason for that?

          • +1

            @shinig3mi: I'm not sure either. It's mainly used for selfies.

            Both have microsd card slots and boost battery life.

            I'd rather save $100.

    Don’t these have overheating issues??

    • +1

      DJI Statement: “When recording 4K/120fps, Action 2 will stop filming when the set Auto-Stop Rec Temp is reached. If set as Standard, 4K/120fps video can be recorded for around 3 minutes. If set to High, 4K/120fps video can be recorded for around 5 minutes. Using the DJI Action 2 Magnetic Protective Case helps reduce surface temperature to optimize video recording by increasing recording length under normal conditions. In countries and regions that support setting Auto-Stop Rec Temp as High, the recording time is about 10 minutes in an indoor environment of 25 °C with the protective case mounted.”

      Will I use 4K/120fps for 3-5 minutes? Most likely not.

  • do they need a housing for water sport ?

    • I think the top unit don't need housing up to 10m. But the combo attachment unit does.

  • Yes. Says on their website

  • Damn, just saw the coupon after I ordered.

    • There's no minimum purchase for the coupon. I use it to buy the SmallRig case since I bought mine from Amazon and probably won't come with a free magnetic case. Not sure if digiDirect includes the free case.

      • Same case?

        What’s In The Box
        DJI Action 2 Dual-Screen Combo
        DJI Action 2 Front Touchscreen Module
        DJI Action 2 Magnetic Protective Case
        DJI Action 2 Magnetic Lanyard
        DJI Action 2 Magnetic Ball-Joint Adapter Mount
        DJI Action 2 Magnetic Adapter Mount
        DJI Action 2 Power Cable

        • Ah didn't see that. Looks like digiDirect includes them then.

          • @John:

            Looks like digiDirect includes them then.

            All of them come with the magnetic protective case since April 1.

            • +1

              @eug: Yes but have heard cases that Amazon does not include them and people not getting any luck getting Amazon to supply it for them. Some have had to go to DJI to get a free one but not sure what's the success rate.

            • @eug: Not all retailers, I bought mine from Amazon in July and while DJI live chat was happy to give me a code for one from their store, it came with a minimum spend for free shipping that made it not worth getting.

              • @brosk1s: Hmm, I wonder if it was old stock since the change only happened in March. Hopefully these are the updated packages.

    • I did the same thing. Very un Oz bargain of us haha. Oh well.

  • Thanks OP - was time to upgrade from an old GoPro and at this price, couldn't resist.

  • Awesome stuff OP, grabbed the power combo! Thank you!

  • +1

    Thanks John great post! Btw seems cashback is showing as 5% via cashrewards?

    • Thanks! Just updated

  • Thank you. My Amazon purchase just came today so I did a refund. Saved myself $80 there.

    • did it come with the overheating case from amazon?

      • No it doesnt.

  • Epic price and value .. thx op

  • IMO DJI Action 2 is an innovative but failed product
    Small body design leading to overheating issues and battery performance is bad
    Using non-standard shape and hook make it not easy to attach other in-market accessories

    DJI realised this and release DJI Action 3 which return back to DJI Action 1 form factor

  • Get it now while on sale boys since the rumour is this will be part if the DJI Pocket 3.

    Blatant rip-off of the Insta360

    • Is the insta360 better than the DJI Action 2?

    • +5

      Huh? Its a completely different product. This isn't even a 360 camera

    • +1

      insta360 is a brand, not 1 product

      • Yeah I know. Though I'm not familiar with all their line up, I believe they specialise in 360 action cam. From my quick search I couldn't find a non-360 cameras in their line up.

    • Fairly sure the insta360 ripped off the Ricoh Theta.

    • It’s not two lenses

  • What are the limitations of power combo?

  • Charging Time 1.5 Hours

    Max Runtime: 1 Hours per Charge

    Good luck 😃🤞

  • I could be wrong but from the videos and comparisons I saw the stabilisation is pretty subpar and a compromise given the size and price.

  • +1

    As an Action 1 owner, almost pull the trigger for the dual-screen Action 2, but I'll save the money and wait for the Action 3 on clearance.

    Good video for anyone wants to buy Action 2.
    https://youtu.be/natWea3s5mE

    • does the action 3 need a water housing for water sport?

  • https://www.d1store.com.au/mobile/products/dji-action-2-powe…
    Same price at source (not inc the $10).
    DJI seemingly discontinuing?

  • Can I live stream from these?

    • +1

      Like this?

      You can also use it as a webcam.

  • Thanks OP, good deal! Suits my needs for B roll footage on a mounted device/vehicle. Compliments my DJI Pocket 2 which ive mounted before on things, but with no splash proof or shock proof on that it makes me a little nervous using it in such use cases, so at a $190 price point for a mountbale camera with these specs, despite its flaws, its perfect for my needs!

  • +6

    also now available on Amazon for those who prefer their returns policies:
    https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B09F6QV13L - Dual Screen Combo

    • that dosn't seem to come with the overheating casing though

      • you can get it free from DJI afterwards

        • Not sure it works that way. D1 store does give it out as the official store, but DJI may not necessarily go out all 3rd party sellers. Let us know if you know anyone who bought from Amazon then claimed the casing pls

  • Anyone can recommend good accessories to go with it? Hiking, snorkeling etc

    • Your camera should come with it

      • Really? looking forward to get it if so:) I purchased from amazon

  • -3

    Gen 2 is not good. Hads the overheat issue which will cause it can only record 10 minutes…

    • +3

      Hads the overheat issue which will cause it can only record 10 minutes…

      It records for 1 hour 37 mins at 4K30 at room temperature with no wind. The battery died.

      At 40 degrees with no wind it records for 17 mins 25 seconds. The GoPro Hero10 stopped at 17 mins 50 seconds.

  • Got Cashrewards tracked email for the Dual Screen Combo.

    • same, $9.45 CB for Power Combo

  • +2

    After owning the power combo (originally purchased for $600 when they first released) I've just gone and bought a second one for $189 (thanks op) I use the camera for its small form when I'm spearfishing/diving and have never had an issue with overheating (the water obvs cools the unit down). if anyone is into diving I can recommend this, may not be the best in terms of quality/time recording but I only ever go as high as 1080 (not as if I'm going to be watching the videos on anything bigger than a laptop) great for its small form factor. just my two cents.

    • How's the quality for spearfishing? Been using gopro 5 and thinking of getting this one. Did you have to use the waterproof case by any chance?

      • +1

        I did buy a a waterproof case for it, it says the camera is 10m water proof but having the case means I didn't have to rely on the magnetic connector to hold if I ever bumped it. The quality is great for me but I'm no expert, viewing on the phone/tablet/laptop at 1080 is perfect for me.

        waterproof case:
