If you are looking for a Diwali gift for someone who likes to remain in action and also record it while being immersed in it the card soirées and festive indulgence in lip-smacking Diwali delicacies – the DJI Action 2 can be a great option (yes, this action camera is not GoPro.) The DJI camera we’re talking about has a dinky cubelike main unit weighing just 57g, it has a highly adaptive design and rocksteady 2.0 stabilization. It can record 4K at 120 in 16:9 or 4K at 60 in the 4:3 aspect ratio. With this camera you’ll get a magnetic lanyard, a magnetic ball-joint adapter mount with a sticky base and a magnetic adapter mount. It’s almost one-third the weight of the GoPro Hero10 Black. The DJI Action 2 (56g) has a perfect size and weight for mounting on drones. You cannot charge the camera module without the Front Touchscreen module, and neither can you add additional storage without it. The magnets also have a clip with quick release to hook onto the modules and mounts. So it uses magnets and hooks to stay in place.
