But, please note that while the main unit is waterproof to 10m (just like Hero 5 Session), its modules aren’t water-resistant without a case. You get one of two additional modules in the box, either a front display with a battery or just the battery. Design-wise the DJI Action 2 is quite similar to the GoPro Hero 5 Session, but it features a premium, smart modular design. In comparison, the DJI Action 2 comes in at a feather-light 57 grams. It is waterproof to 33 feet (10m) without housing. The shutter button on the top also acts as a power-on switch and will start recording video automatically. It is, literally, a small cube that features just two buttons and one side flap that houses the USB-C port and MicroSD card slot. The Hero 5 Session is a really simple action camera.
