4. Maintenance

Waterproofing & Overheating:

The Action 2 camera unit is waterproof up to 10 meters. The front touchscreen module and power module are NOT waterproof. For prolonged underwater use (e.g., diving) or high water pressure, use the DJI Action 2 Waterproof Case (sold separately).

The DJI Action 2 camera unit is built tough and waterproof up to 10 meters.

The camera unit may experience overheating during prolonged high-resolution recording. Using the DJI Action 2 Magnetic Protective Case (not included in this combo) can help reduce surface temperature and optimize recording length.

Cleaning & Storage:

  • After aquatic use, ensure the camera unit and any connected modules are thoroughly dried, especially around the magnetic contacts, to prevent corrosion.
  • Clean the lens and screens with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive materials.
  • Store the camera in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

5. Troubleshooting

Overheating Issues:

The DJI Action 2 is designed to stop recording when a set auto-stop recording temperature is reached to prevent damage. This is more noticeable when recording in 4K/120fps.

  • Solution: Reduce recording resolution or frame rate. Use the Magnetic Protective Case to help dissipate heat. Ensure adequate airflow around the camera.
  • Recording Times: At 4K/120fps, recording may stop around 3 minutes (Standard Auto-Stop Rec Temp) or 5 minutes (High Auto-Stop Rec Temp). With the protective case, recording time can extend to about 10 minutes indoors at 25°C.

Connectivity Problems:

  • Issue: Camera not connecting to DJI Mimo app or computer.
  • Solution: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device. Restart both the camera and the mobile device. Check USB cable connection for computer transfer. Update DJI Mimo app and camera firmware.
