Good deal. First time this has been on sale since launch.
Few observations of this camera:
If you're using this for FPV kwads, mountain biking, or action sports in general suggest buying from BestBuy and order the accidental geek squad protection.
If just for FPV kwads, no need for the dual screen version unless you're going to use it for v-logging as well.
For the record, Gopro's stabilzation (Hypersmooth 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, or 4.0) still blows djj action's rock steady out of the water. And if you want to use Horizon steady, only records video in 1080p or 2.7k 16:9
Dynamic range on the dji action is not great, especially low light situations.
Heating issues when flying don't really apply since you're zipping around. Normal use there are still reports of over heating, when recording at 4k.
No SD card slot on main camera, so you're stuck with internal storage. You'll have to transfer it to the bottom module to free up your internal storage on the main cam. The power or dual screen module does allow for a microSD slot however.
Only 32gb on internal main module w/22gb useable. Recording 4k that will fill up fairly quickly.
Unlike Gopros, the action 2 has No replaceable battery that you can switch in the field (if using with it attached to the bottom module, you will have that extra battery life. Which unfortunately takes away from the smaller form factor)
Obviously the form factor and weight are a huge plus, especially for FPV kwads, or anyone just looking for something similar to the old school Gopro hero 5 session's form factor. & 4k 120fps!
Unless you specifically want a Dji action for form factor or whatever else, for the price, the Gopro hero 10 is still a way better camera.
Hopefully some of these items can be fixed with future software updates. e.g. stabilzation, dynamic range, etc.
