  • The DJI Action 2 will be the first action camera to support Gyroflow, an open-source video stabilization program used in post-processing.
  • The Action 2’s new firmware package has two standout features: the camera can now embed gyroscopic data straight into video files, and Android 13 compatibility has been improved.
  • You can purchase these bundles for $304 or $404, accordingly.
  • Users of Action 2 can now obtain better post-production video stabilization.
  • The most important factor to consider when trying to take a smooth, cinematic film is video stabilization. Gyroflow is a post-processing video correction tool based on motion data that has been recorded.
  • Gyroflow can create gimbal-like stabilization with no or little weight penalty thanks to precise lens calibrations, rolling shutter correction, and tweakable stabilization algorithms (including horizon leveling). It also functions in spite of poor lighting or moving objects.
  • Use the camera in a particular way to include gyro data in the video. Use the following settings:
  • Stabilization: Off
  • FOV: Wide
  • Resolution: 4K (4:3) 24/25/30/48/50/60 or 4K (16:9) 100/120
  • Additionally, you’ll need to obtain and set up the most recent version of the Gyroflow software, which is v1.4.2 or higher, and confirm that the necessary DJI Action 2 JSON files are already present. The DJI Action 2 movie can then be opened in Gyroflow, where relevant parameters can be set to stabilize it.
  • The Avata FPV drone and O3 Air Unit are two additional DJI products that enable Gyroflow in addition to Action 2.
