the ace pro's image quality is really good! Just got mine, and I'm blown away by how vibrant and clear my videos look, straight out of the camera
Too much distorsion on ACE PRO. I have ac4. And i just want dji put 1 inch on ac5 in this body or improve low light and EIS maybe and ai chip. I dont want flip screen for action camera. The body of ac4 is the best for action cam. And also add function about puase and continue record and 2x zoom with no loss quality. I dont care 8k but i need 20+ MP on picture. And ac5 should have BT to pair mic like pocket 3
Haha! Most of the things you would like to have is already available on the ace pro? 🤷♂
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Lo que pediste como la pausa de grabación la tiene ace pro.
Si el cuerpo es mejor de la action 4 quédate con esa y no le pidas mas// ¿¿no ves en el video que en la salida del túnel la ace pro define correctamente mientras que action se ve un punto blanco ?.
Vende esa cosa y compraste la mejor que es la acé pro, lo más probable es de que antes que le rompas la pantalla te rompas varios de tus huesos 😂
Trusted video as always. Helpful for me to decide which camera to get.
Thanks a lot bud🙌😊
Great honest video. Can I ask your advice on grabbing stills from video. I believe both apps allow this, but which grabs at higher resolution, and would there be advantage in shooting in 8k to get better grabs? Cheers mate.
Great video, thank you! Quick question, where did you get the carbon fiber selfie stick that you have on the rear of your motorcycle (@9:33 you showed it)? I've not found a CF stick but would really like one to increase the stability of the X3 on my motorcycle!
very informative! thanks for that! just one question, which has a wider FOV?
Action 4 has 155, ace pro has 151
Very fair on the pros and cons of each. I’m looking forward to more regular people giving their Ace Pro reviews specifically ones that didn’t get it for free or have an affiliate link. They’ve got nothing to gain or lose by giving a real honest opinion. No shade on you though. It was a good video.
100% agree with. Difference is that i say no to a paycheck so i can give my honest thoughts. Even if they send me one, i state my opinion.
I think that gives the better value in the long run, to be honest and unbiased but still share ones opinion👍
I got you lol. I'll be running mine through it's paces this coming weekend with a series of scenarios so you can make your own opinion on what camera actually fits YOUR needs
In ordered one, I should get it in a few days. Nevertheless it seems the better action can overall. I was to buy the pocket 3 but I can’t use a so sensible camera.
I ordered an ace pro as my first action cam after borrowing old hero from buddies during track days on motorcycle. Looking forward to the Ace pro for night footage in the car (middle east track days at night). My only apprehension is the soft focus on close proximity the insta seems to have. Time will tell.
I bought Ace Pro, and i use it for bike rides (mostly) to be honest so far I love it. U cant take off the lens cover part Im not too worried about( put in lens protector for scratches ) so far i did make a vid once and when sun was on front quality wasnt bad at all. State flow and horizon locked worked well. Color on HDR wasnt bad. I will try to take it out on more riding but like i said so far, I love it.
Although only comparing from Insta360 One RS (because that was my 1st and only action cam 😅 )
Thanks a bunch Rob for the comparison. Which one bends less (buildings, trees, straight structures) in linear or standard mode? I'm choosing between these two.
Thanks mate!🙌 i think they’re quite equal on dewarp. For wider shots i think there’s less bend on the action 4, but it also depends on on how you angle it
Off topic? Can I use the FALCAM F22 Quick Release Kit for Insta360 that I use with my Insta 360 X3?
Great video. Apparently you can use the dji mic with the ace pro connecting it via the airpod bluetooth method and it works without the transmitter so actually functions like the osmo pocket 3 in terms of external audio
Thanks mate! This is only the DJI Mic 2 tho! Or am i missing something in my 5 hours of trying to connect it 😅
I paired my DJI Mic 2 with the Ace Pro through the Bluetooth method but the sound quality is not great. For example, when my dogs are barking, the audio clips and sounds horrible. I have the original DJI Mics and those pair perfectly through the audio cable method and audio adapter.
I only seen the video sorry my AP arrives on Monday. I have a comica mic I'm hoping pairs without the adapter. Loving your videos keep up the good work 👊
@@markkelly7897 Thank you very much! Can’t wait to start making videos with the Ace Pro and the new Pocket 3. More to come. Happy Friday!
I have DJI Pocket 3 and its DJI Mic 2 works flawlessly with Ace Pro
Thanks for this great, well detailed comparison of both cameras!
I was so bummed by the Hero 8 Black and first foray into action cameras. The overheating, glitching, having to take the battery out to reset it and be able to turn it on again, or connect to the phone app, was one of my most dismal electronic device experiences. I've been hesitant to get back in. It seems based on this review, these cameras are fairly equal, one has a leg up on the other in one feature, vice-versa on another feature. At this point, it will largely depend on price. Right now, Hero 12 has been selling at $349 USD, surprisingly, for several weeks. Hmm, I wonder why, lol. And currently it is $399 USD for Action 4 and $449 USD for Ace Pro. Whichever between these two first offers a sale price is the one I'll go with. Sorry GoPro, even being the cheapest, full of features I might add, I just can't go back, as still hearing about glitchy-ness.
I am also a victim of the GoPro 8, so much lost footage due the stupid crashes, insane. I have been using it the last years though and will continue to use it. As a B-Roll camera and when things are geting risky for the camera. Not a big loss then 😅
When you compare resolution of both cameras. The Action 4 has what 12mp camera? That's like saying its half the resolution of the Ace pro. So that's actually hard to compare but, considering that difference it shows the Action 4 struggles a little but, not too bad. If the next version of the Action would get around a 20mp camera. It might really stand out.
They both seem great and have big pros and little cons.
While the ACE definitely looks more clear with almost no jitters at night, it seems over saturated and contrasty. The Action 4 with less details looks a lot more natural.
There was a shot where you and your daughter looked like your cheeks were on fire 😅…
The sky on that shot as well looked like there was some blue on the ACE, while the Action showed a completely overcast grey sky…
I was about to settle on the Action 4 during Black Friday, but the Ace Pro released at that time.
I’ve ordered both to compare them myself and see which one I prefer. I’ll return the other.
smthg I haven’t seen much emphasis on yet is the audio of the Ace without a mic… I have the DJI mics (1) but I don’t always take them with me when I’m out and about. Acceptable onboard audio is quite important…
Thanks for your review.
True! This is the white balance which i mentioned tho, which can be adjusted in-camera/post
Sky definitely looks more natural on the ace.
As of audio, check my ace vs gopro video. Full of audio clips from both 😎
Which did you choose?
Sticking with my H12/OA4 combo until the max2/X4 hit the market.
I know you taking this out on the motorbike is 4 months away (lol!) but which one do you think would perform better when mounted on your helmet?
Haha😂😭😭 ye… you idk. Free frame on the ace gives you yourube and instagram content tho.
But action 4 is wider 🤷
Thanks a lot. Waiting now for Insta360 to fix and come up with a good solution to protect the lens. Waiting also for a lens cap guard asap
They have already released ND filter caps for the ACE Pro, I'm just going to get a cheap UV one for mine, should do the job just fine, might snag a couple, they are $10 cdn I believe, cheapest I can find. GoPro and DJI replacement caps here are $25...hmmm
@@MiyagisRant there is no offering on a neutral lens guard cap from Insta360. Only an expensive nd set can be purchased
almost the same in low light quality but i like the white balance in osmo action 4
The Ace Pro is a clear winner imo, but something that has to be remembered is most people buy an action cam for.. action, not to color grade for 5 hours a video of a dog taking a dump
Did you film the night shots on the Ace Pro in Pure video?
Yes
Wonderful video
Thanks a lot 🙌😃
Very informative
But Does DJI Mic I work with AcePro, really?
Only DJI mic 2 as bluetooth and with adapter, the original dji mic
@@RobHK for the original, tried the adaptor but it still doesn't work
Would you record another clip demonstrating how to make it work with the original DJI Mic, thanks in advance
cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẻ ,tôi rất thích cả 2 cái
Ace Pro is the new King!! 👑
Im being unbiased, but being honest i would use the Ace Pro for all my low light shots and my next video coming up might even add more
I find less sharpness on insta than dji wich seams to go in less image detail on insta. Did you set the insta in low sharpness?
Watch the video
@@RobHK already watched before asking. I mean if sharpness was all the time in low. Anyway thanks for being so kind.
I already recalled after replying and insee I didn’t mention that and only default settings. Sorry 😅
Settings 0-0 on dji and medium on ace pro which both equals a medium sharpness
@@RobHK no worries. Thx and kept it up with the channel. Great content.
Hey man i appreciate your review, im in between buying the ace pro or the dji pocket 3 i would be using it for vlogging/public interview. Question that no one has been able to answer, can you use pure video mode while recording in free form video? I would like to get night shoots and be able to reframe later for both youtube and IG, so would that be possible? Or those recording at night in free form video looks good enough? If you could answer i would greatly appreciated 🙌🏽
Purevideo is purevideo. Its a seperate shooting mode dedicated to low light but can also be used in daylight.
If you shot is static on a tripod, free frame would be fine with manual settings
I love the Pocket 3 but I will be doing sports with this so the P3 is not an option for that unfortunately, quality on the P3 is gorgeous though.
Im just looking for best lowlight performance since i live in Massachusetts and its getting dark around 4pm and would like to be efficient shooting in lowlight for both horizontal and vertical video at the same time. Thank you guys!
Def looking to upgrade to the INSTA ACE pro. Currently running a Gopro 10.
Oufh! Gopro 10 is good tho! I really like that, sold 11 and still have 12, but 10 is definitely 10 times more reliable! Ace Pro ticks all boxes vs gopro imo tho👍
The disappointment on your face when you realized you couldn't ride for another 4 months.. Very relateable 🥲I don't have a bike these days, but I remember the excitement every spring. Great video!
Ye… i try not to think about it😒 still some months to go
If Insta360 can fit that GPS remote + screen unit back to ACE PRO Body instead of selling it as an option. that'd be close to perfect camera
because now you have duo screen front & back ( with an option to flip back screen ) + GPS .
Maybe Insta360 ACE PRO 2 will do that. thanks for your vdo & info .
Yes 🙌🙏🙏
Funny is that with my DJI Osmo with the front screen, I never use it lol Never had an issue framing shots without a front screen, don't forget, front screen tech is relatively young, we've lived with how many generations of actioncams without front displays? if I'm that desperate to frame, you can always use your phone, the sync between and insta360 and my android phone is lightning fast.
front screen is there for you with no extra cost. You may not need it ,but if you in activity like skiing , hiking , running for that case front screen is very useful . also you can film yourself with front screen without carry your phone & if you drop your Gopro or Dji Osmo from 10 ft high instead of iphone/ android you gonna be fine.@@MiyagisRant
@@MiyagisRant I use the front screen on my gopro just as much as my back screen for framing. Especially when it is mounted on the front of my paddle board. As tiny as it is, it is quite usable. So, this would be an awesome upgrade for me to have that larger screen. I also like that the remote has a framable screen as well. Last time I had a framable screen on a remote was with my Sony X3000. Like the reviewer said; inovation is inovation!
@@mstuartkendallit's funny I'm one of those old fashioned guys that I'm so used to using action cams without front screen that I don't use it to frame, the FOV is so wide and tall it's not like a phone or point and shoot. I have action cams with front display screens, never use them, maybe I just hating looking at myself lol tbh, I doubt I'll even have the Ace Pro screen up at all, I have DSLRs and point and shoot with articulating screens, never use them, but that's just me.
The biggest issue with the ace pro is the fov whilst using it on an a motorbike. I’m not anti insta because I have a one rs/boost 4k lens and 360 lens but also bought an action 3. No comparison with the view which is something most motovloggers don’t mention. DJI all the way

Great review, the 8K 'sensor' was meant for the 2x zoom feature, they don't even push the 8K in their commercial or website so it's not a defining feature nor is it a competitor killer. It shoots only 24 frames so it's not even a wow feature lol. Although, with the existing hardware inside, I wouldn't be surprised if they push this 8K sensor a bit farther. Even the pre-released models couldn't shoot 8K, they activated this as just another 'feature' on release, it was designed for the Clarity zoom which btw, is any competition killer, one of the features GoPro/DJI users has been asking for years, a usable zoom. I would love to see a more detailed non bias review of the Ace Pro focusing on the durability/quality of resolution of the flip screen, more on smart watch integration, and some workarounds for the non removable lens protector, these seem to be deal breakers for many people. For my use, those aren't deal breakers, if this camera is what every reviewer says it is, those two things are small prices to pay for a camera that's actually innovative.
Thanks! I will say. Check my next video🤓
Also 100% agree with you
The problems are not deal breakers, people whine over nothing…im sure these people screams at every stone in their path……….
We all have options, options to buy or not to buy.
But people not receiving a free pre-release model has to whine and cry about it and make the footage look awful on purpose🙄
@@RobHK I agree, ppl can't imagine a company that's not a GoPro or DJI to actually come up with something innovative lol Did you have to buy your Ace Pro? Thank you again!
Ye, ive seen so many whiners one particular which obviously made the ace pro look worse.
No, i was actually sent one but told i would only do a fair review. And for those i always ask people to decide for themselves. Ive fell in to many pits already when i first started this channel with biased reviews and bad products i couldn’t sell or return. So my main goal is to provide the most realistic footage as possible, graded or not. But, i do prefer the X3 over all these other cameras tho😂
Yo pienso que gopro ya perdio la batalla ante estas grandiosas camaras, ya Van ir quedando obsoletas 😢😢
This is a very good review I subscribed to - the 606 thumb-up is mine. May I know one thing about the instant360 ace pro it is about zooming it appears as it has only two positions and no middle position for the zoom is it true or I m wrong?
Have you had over heating issues with the Ace Pro?
No, only 8k after 34 minutes which is to be expected
am getting the Ace Pro soon. Looking at 4:27 I noticed that the the building and other structures seem to be more straight than the DJI. I have to wait and try mine and see how it works. I think the Ace pro and the pocket 3 will be a good combo for me.
This is just the matter of angle. My bracket is not the straightest, so could be the reason👍
I have this combo and it’s perfect.
Awesome review. Think I'm slowly moving to the ace pro. Like you I do No action stuff, just gonna use it for the kiddos, & the outdoors. In the near future I see a ton of accessories to protect the lens. I'm sure Ulanzi has something in the works.
Thank you 🙌😀
@@DavCro The Weather. In South Louisiana the weather will turn on a dime sometimes. Plus when we go fishing I'm concerned about the water getting on the camera.
Non removable lens cover kill it. Should have come out with clear nd filter for extra protection.
The upgrades I would like to ace pro is recording option for log/raw video and easily adding filters. It has a definitely upped performance expectations for action cameras.
I'm in the process of sending my Ace pro back for a refund. All of those great features go out of the window if the image looks so soft. I compared with my GoPro 11 (both in 4K 50fps in daylight), and it's not even close.
If you want the features and you regularly shoot in low light, it's great.
If you want clean crisp 4k images in daylight, I wouldn't choose it.
Well my gopro vs ace pro comparison tells a different story. Check your settings, face/matrix focus and sharpness settings👍
@@RobHK I have had the Ace pro for 3 days and have gone through all of the different settings and none of them matches the box standard 4K image from my Go pro. The Go pro image has so much more detail, it's not even a contest. Even on all of the YT videos including yours, you can see that there is less detail in the Ace pro image.
It feels like I'm the only one seeing this.
When I get a chance I will put up a split screen of my tests with the two cameras
@mikezappa less details because less sharpning which you can adjust in-camera or post.
But if you like the look of the gopro over the ace, of course. GoPro has good quality indeed, if its much better or better at all. Well…opinions.
But there’s nothing wrong with the ace’s quality. Its probably that gopro users are used to the oversharpened look.
“Jerky” review - there are few frames of two cameras side by side, or a frame from one camera is shown and there are no frames in the same place from the other..
Thank you for answering a few of my questions! I just wish the DJI Action4 looked like the 360 Pro Ace. I really like the flip camera but feel swayed by the 10 log and MLog. Urgh!! What does a girl do?!!! 🤣
For youtube, you dont really need 10 bit. Also consider your needs and what will benefit you.
My 8K ace pro and studio test is dropping tomorrow if thay helps tho👍
FABULOUS!! I think I've decided, your vids are really great - because I do a dusty job in confined areas and because I've already killed my iPhone in can of paint and I'm mostly indoors I think the insta360 ace pro is best for me!! Plus I only have iMovie so I feel it may be a better choice for absolute beginners. Look forward to new vid!! Thank you for responding, I've just subscribed, I'll use your link once I'm ready to get one!!!@@RobHK
Love most insta360 stuff, but this one doesn’t do it for me. Action cam with a flip screen and no removable lens cover, AI is gimmicky and limited to I think 90 uses a month, heard it would go lower next year but not sure, no 10 bit d log. Action 4 all the way
Flip screen nope, fixed lens cover nope, battery life nope. It's a no for me.
Replaced my action 4 right after the release of the ace pro. I think it’s the most well balanced action cam if you are planning to post in social media platforms a lot.
thanks for the video. Planning to get this Ace pro soon for mountain biking, mainly due to low light feature for night riding, gesture for group selfies, flip screen, and AI editing since I like to keep it minimum on post processing. unfortunately the FOV is not as wide as GP12, but good enough.
I have GP7 that sometimes freezes, so it will be a big upgrade.
Huuuge upgrade indeed! I aslo wish it was wider, but its their first ever “action camera” so im actually pretty impressed 👍
Poor Gopro They will out of business soon.
wow the Insta360 really kills it, the low light looks so good in the scene. I believe they made some investment in the highlight control...I was going to order the oa4 for christmas but now I think the ace pro more of something i would need, waterproof, lowlight performance, flip screen..even 8K! have you had done any specific test on the 8k yet? anyway I will place my order on the ace pro now. Thanks Rob!
Awesome!😎
Yes! I have my 8k video dropping very soon 👍
It’s not that hard: the Ace Pro is not inferior on some aspects and better (or much better) on others, so it is the winner. Nevertheless, it should be able to shoot in 10 bit and change lens cover.
