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.

        Hi John, which option should we select?

        • John on 10/11/2022 - 15:47

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

          • yeviisxc on 10/11/2022 - 15:47

            @John: awesome, thanks!

          • yeviisxc on 10/11/2022 - 16:07

            @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

            • rbargaineer12 on 10/11/2022 - 16:30

              @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.

              • yeviisxc on 10/11/2022 - 16:46

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

                • bchliu on 10/11/2022 - 18:07

                  @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 on 10/11/2022 - 18:22

                    @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.

                      @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.

                      @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.

                          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.

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

    • eug on 10/11/2022 - 15:49

      Will that code negate the cashback?

        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

    • John on 10/11/2022 - 15:56

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

      • J6 on 10/11/2022 - 18:37

        Would definitely get the extra screen.

        • shinig3mi on 10/11/2022 - 18:48

          What is the reason for that?

            @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??

    • John on 10/11/2022 - 16:10
      +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.

  • SS625 on 10/11/2022 - 16:07

    do they need a housing for water sport ?

    • John on 10/11/2022 - 16:15

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

  • ChatCPT on 10/11/2022 - 16:10

    Yes. Says on their website

  • sanow on 10/11/2022 - 16:11

    Damn, just saw the coupon after I ordered.

    • John on 10/11/2022 - 16:14

      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.

      • Serathis on 10/11/2022 - 16:16

            Looks like digiDirect includes them then.

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

            • brosk1s on 10/11/2022 - 18:39

              @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.

              • eug on 10/11/2022 - 18:44

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

  • littlesoldier on 10/11/2022 - 16:51

    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

  • gmail92 on 10/11/2022 - 17:34

    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!

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

  • Rich82 on 10/11/2022 - 19:21
    +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.

    • Jackgumtreeau on 10/11/2022 - 19:56

      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?

      • Rich82 on 10/11/2022 - 20:27
        +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:
