I've searched for solutions for POV driving videos for some time now.
The most common way is to mount an action camera on your head (inverted) so that it sits right on the nose or the forehead.
I have a few issues with this method:
[1] It hampers the visibility. I know Tedward mentioned in the video that he can see properly despite the camera being on his forehead but that's not true. Even if the visibility is at 95%, there are no chances to be taken when on the road!
[2] The setup is bulky. Decent output action cameras weigh about 140-150 grams. Factor in the mounts, the total weight of the system is close to what most phones weigh. Having something as heavy as a phone on your forehead is distracting and tiring.
[3] It is not a good look!
This one is subjective but I like my cameras to stand out less.
The DJI Action 2 is not perfect. It is tiny in comparison but:
- It is still very much a thing on your forehead.
- It overheats so anything longer than 30 minutes (power reserve mode) and you cannot have it close to your face
- "Fortunately" it only has 22 gigs of internal storage so you never hit that 30-minute mark of recording if you are seeing a good output (2.7k/60 fps)
- It is made of metal and dents easily so you can't throw it around. Definitely does not live up to its name
The output is decent though and the weight is 1/3rd of a GoPro or any of the newer DJI action cameras.
The insta360 Go 2 seems promising.
Why the GO2 and not GO3 is a topic for another video but I am looking forward to trying that out.
The less weight, ability to adjust FOV and aspect ratio in post and the rugged nature definitely make it sound promising.
