DJI Action 2 v01.04.05.10
26 Feb 2023
After what feels like an eternity, the update for the DJI Action 2 has arrived, which now also supports GyroFlow. The update is made as usual via the DJI Mimo app.
Release Notes:
- Video will include gyro data in following camera settings: Stabilization: off; FOV: Wide; Resolution: 4K (4:3) 24/25/30/48/50/60 or 4K (16:9) 100/120. Gyroflow version v1.4.2 or above is recommended for gyro-based video stabilization.
- Improved compatibility with Android 13.0. Note:
- If the update fails, restart DJI Action 2 and DJI Mimo and retry.

- Users with Emax 900Mhz transmitter modules
- Users with Radiomaster Zorro, TX12 or TX16S handsets, with internal ELRS modules
- Users within the EU_LBT region
