DJI at NAB 2024

Lots of cool new products at the DJI booth during NAB 2024. They had a subway scene where you could test stabilizers and other cameras for that fun urban shot. But I was more focused on the mobile cameras – using the Pocket 2 for my video capture, I wanted to see the new Action 2 Dual and Pocket 3, along with some other items for my production.

DJI Action 2 Dual

This is a small camera – only 1.54 inches, can be placed in many spots on the body or tripod with their magnetic mount system. The back of the camera is a confidence monitor so you can see the shot you are getting.

This is 4K – 120fps camera. It also features 8 array microphones with noise suppression to get voices in a busy booth.

The camera is waterproof up to 10 meters without a case (60 meters with a case), and weighs only 56 grams.

The sensor is 1/1.7″, and the lens will give you a 155 degree field of view with an aperture of f/2.8.The camera can record up to 4K 60 fps (130 Mbps), and contains EIS RockSteady 2.0+HorizonSteady stabilization.

Connect the Confidence Monitor

The additional monitor allows you to see more for interviews or VLOG selfies. The 2nd monitor is just that – not a 2nd camera.

Magnetic Clip Mounts

The mounts are magnetic, but also have hooks to secure the device. The magnetic array allows for data passthrough for items such as the 2nd monitor.

Battery Life

Inside is a LiPo 1S battery at 580 mAh. Using 1080p/30 (no stabilization) will get you up to 70 minutes of video.

The DJI Action 2 Dual starts at $299

DJI Pocket 3

This camera has been out since November, but it’s really the first time I got my hands on one. The DJI Pocket 3 is an all-in-one 3-axis gimbal camera.

The Pocket 3 improves from the 2 with a 1 inch CMOS , 4K/120 fps video, improved stabilization, and a 2 inch rotatable screen for easier viewing (as opposed to the small screen of the Pocket 2).

Horizontal or Vertical Video

That screen does serve another purpose, and that is to tell the camera if you are making a vertical or HD video. The touchscreen allows for adjustments on the fly, but you can still connect up to the DJI app and control the camera from there (

10-bit D-Log M and 10-bit HLG

This feature allows you to record in Log format, and let the LUT or color grader make it look the way you want. The camera will capture up to 1 billion colors, and with the 1 inch sensor, capture in high or low light situations.

Pocket 3 starts at $519

DJI Mic 2

The DJI Mic 2 is a dual transmitter microphone pack that not only captures to the camera at 2.4 GHz, but also record from the units for 14 hours with 32-bit float. That way if you get into a congested area for wireless, you can use the on-board recording to post process, and not have to worry about overmodulation.

18 Hours Charged

With the charging case, the 2 transmitters – 1 receiver can be used for up to 18 hours before recharge. You will have to put the units back in the case to achieve that goal, but if you’re out on an all day shoot in the Rockies, just let the units charge up during lunch.

DJI Mic 2 MSRP is $349

DJI Power 1000

And if you need more power, DJI offers external battery power generator solutions for your shoot. Whether charging a phone, tablet, battery, drone, or small refrigerator (you need to eat), the DJI Power 1000 will give you 2200 W Max output in it’s 1024 Wh battery.

The unit is 28 lbs, with handles on the side. It can charge using the USB, AC outputs, and SDC Lite devices – it can even be charged via solar panel to extend the battery for the day.
