Insta360 Ace Pro: Brutally Honest Review

[@kennyadvocat]

Every KZbinr is reviewing the Ace pro but I haven't seen the regular Ace model. Thanks for comparing the specs of both. If you shoot only in 4k does it use the whole sensor with oversampling or just every other pixel? The later could mean less low light performance? Looks like a cool camera tho. 4k or 6k is plenty for 99% of us. That zoom feature is nice!

[@mr1derful83]

Funny, I've also been curious about the regular Ace but have found next to nothing about it

[@BenClaremont]

I’ll make a video when I can 👍🏻

[@warriorlight793]

Hey guys. I want to make footage from inside my car, want to mount the camera on the dash facing me, on me facing the road, outside the car, and probably another place. Also want to connect a wireless mic to the camera. What do you guys suggest?

[@lucasanjosofc]

I just bought my Ace Pro and I'm very happy. Now it's time to learn how to make good footage and edit well to make this beauty called INSTA360 ACE PRO worthwhile. Very good your video, thank you for the tests and knowledge you passed. A hug from Brazil!

[@boutrosboutrosboutrosboutros]

Ben is still one of my favorite photography KZbinrs of all time. I know he's in the 360 realm which is a bit niche, but overall, his content is head and shoulders above most stuff on the platform.

[@BenClaremont]

Much appreciated 🙏🏻

[@DavidDuchov]

No lens replacement is the deal breaker for me as well, no Pure Video above 24fps is a bummer too, great video mate

[@Master0fHyrule]

I'm surprised Insta360 don't have stock to buy cause I feel like they are way better than GoPro (Who has stock).

[@BenClaremont]

For sure

[@markr041]

Chinese company.

[@CarnisChampion]

if I where to get a action camera this would be my main consideration. but I will wait for next 360 camera instead. still very hooked on the ability to capture everything and not even consider if I am in frame or not.

[@BenClaremont]

100%

[@ChrisCoxCycling]

Yes, I like my X2 for that. However, sometimes the extra effort to review and reframe 360 footage is a chore. Depends on the project of course.

[@CarnisChampion]

@@ChrisCoxCycling I do not feel that way at all. but then again I am not a professional in any kind of capacity. and I trade that effort any day to capture moments with out the risk of being out of frame. I mean having the x2 mounted on a cap and just one touch and it is capturing every thing around you and you can view it later as if you where there again.

[@fahimzaman7815]

Sir I like this.But I see a lot of people complaining about randomly shutdown issue...can you tell me about this? I want to use it for motovlog...

[@marco_s3025]

along with other cameras this one is very sensitive to cold temperature already tested in the swiss alps. we wait until a camera can properly operate in minus temperatures

[@BenClaremont]

Interesting. I’m sure they will release a cold weather battery for it, similar to their other cameras. Here’s hoping.

[@beardawgstudios]

@marco, Could you please provide more info please? I am whitewater kayaker and we boat in winter conditions on a regular basis. This issue would literally be a deal breaker. Could you provide more information on the outside temps, duration of exposure, eat. Wind speeds and type of failure you experienced 🙏🙏

[@BeniKenesei]

You have to multiple the aperture by the full frame/sensor size ratio. So at the end the full frame equivalent apertures would be F13 for the Ace and F10 for the Ace pro.

[@boutrosboutrosboutrosboutros]

I'm seeing a lot of comments about the non-replaceable lens protector. I use external sticky lens protectors on my action cameras, I think that would protect a lot of what happens. I don't see a lot of gravel and stuff though, maybe some of the road guys have a point.

[@奇C]

The irreplaceable lens is not a big issue. I put on a screen protector available on Amazon and it does not affect image quality.

[@jean-roschprudencio930]

You're not thinking large enough and for those who use action cameras for heavy action sports.

[@BenClaremont]

[@drstew1]

@@BenClaremont Thanks again i bought the AP and the watching looking remote👍🏾

[@yuidfbse]

Overall this a really great camera. My only gripes are that for an action cam this absolutely needed replaceable lens guard because this will get destroyed on your first beating and, that looking attentively to the footage I find the corner resolution of the lens being not up to par with anything near 8K resolution. Hopefully on a future version of this camera, they equip it with a replaceable lens protector of some sort and better/brighter optics. Overall this is definitely a step forward in action cameras, thanks for the video :)

[@VixionTech]

So before I wast my money. I wanna ask do you think this will work for me I wanna Gil me riding first bikes. Hope to hear from you.

[@yuidfbse]

@@VixionTech yes of course, this camera will be great for that kind of video.

[@rayspencer5025]

You can get lens guard film protector for the lens. Mine came with the screen protectors I bought, but I chose not to use them until I feel I really might need it because I don't want anything to impede the IQ.

[@TheForeigner68]

Great review Ben. A few things about the camera that I can't get over, for my use case anyway (motovlogging), are the irreplaceable lens protection and the flip screen. I've dropped a few action cameras whilst riding and they all survived with a few scratches and had to replace the lens covers a couple times. Not so sure how this one would fare a fall from a fast moving bike. A couple things I haven't heard anyone mention so far in their reviews is the over saturation and over sharpness of the footage. Also, I don't find the video to be of a much better quality than any other action camera, bar in low light. Strap the ace pro to a motorcycle, an airplane wing or a skydiver together with a GoPro or a DJI OA4 and I bet you can't tell which is which.

[@paulchin4094]

You can use lens & screen film protector. It will give you at least some protection. In low light it blows both DJI & GoPro out of the water. Happy shooting. 😊

[@TechieTard]

I think us in the comments section are aware of the over saturation. I just cannot get over the irreplaceable lens and the 1/4 inch missing from the bottom. 4 micro sized hooks to hold a relatively heavy action cam in "actionable" scenarios just screams 'break hooks, now break lens'. The low light is beautiful though.

[@TheForeigner68]

@@paulchin4094 True, low light is its main strength, I reckon. Not much usefull for me but, yeah, it's great. I still think that the Ace Pro is a one trick pony though.

[@TheForeigner68]

@@TechieTard Agree. It's not only a potential point of failure but also you need to buy one for each different mounting point, making it even more expensive to run, makes an already bulky camera even bulkier and not worth the extra 20 seconds it takes to unscrew the thing when you change mounts. Let's face it, if anyone, like me, has to stop their bike and de-bike to mount the camera elsewhere, it's not the extra 20 seconds that are going to make a difference. Plus, the lighter and smaller the camera is, the better.

[@rayspencer5025]

Love it. Using it mostly for Street / Urban (people pay no attention to this little "thing" I am holding, unlike with a normal camera or phone), Landscape, Low Light, and Architectural stills. Really good resolution. I regularly use polarizer, close-up and ND filters on it. Biggest problem has been getting used to the settings & menue excusions. Only real gripe is the shutter button is hard to push. A I. Warp is more annoying than useful. I would like it better if it worked more like a constant filter effect rather constantly flickering and changing.

[@francomelechi8085]

Finally a valid alternative to GoPro. Let's wait a few months and Insta360 will churn out another similar one,...shall we bet?…😅 Thanks for the review Ben👍

[@robweaver9953]

Given your remark about shooting stills on your phone rather than an action camera, I’m wondering if the DJI Pocket with 1 inch sensor might not be a better bet for videos/action?

[@BenClaremont]

Perhaps, although I haven’t used it so can’t comment

[@LoloLolo-lh3hy]

How is the zoom being operated?? Has it some phisical buttons outside?? or u can use it only by touchscreens options??

[@ChrisCoxCycling]

Appreciate the honest review. I've found the hyped reviews a bit dubious. The AI warp stuff just seems like a gimmick. The proprietary mounting system, and the need for 3 different accessories to add an external microphone (unless you have a dji 2 mic with bluetooth) are deterrents for me. But the better low light performance is keeping me on the hook as i decide what, if anything, i upgrade my old gopro hero 7 to... hero 12 still needs the media mod or convoluted rig and mic adaptor for external mic too, so it's not perfect either. Replaceable lens matters less to me since i can keep using the 7 for "higher risk" situations in decent light. Its stabilisation and footage quality is adequate for what is essentially B roll action.

Very interesting camera. I am at a crossroads. I have the Insta360, for low light I use the 1" sensor. What would be better in low light? this new camera, with it smaller sensor or the insta 360 with 1 inch? Would I be better off upgrading to the OneRS, or getting this? EDIT whatever I end up buying, I will use your affiliate link

[@BenClaremont]

I think they’d be pretty similar- make the decision more based on what type of content you want to shoot, 360 or one direction only 👍🏻

[@scubartistqnolsy]

um.. was the question answered whether the non pro ace is a bettee buy than the ace pro?

[@panoramapalacevirtualtours]

in 1inch360 I found that interval is really "intervall between 2 shots" and not "intervall bewteen 2 click to take a picture" and timelapse of 1 second is really "1 second between 2 frames" instead of "each frame is shot each second" (so if you start taking photos at a chrono watch at 0.01 you'd get 0.01 , 1.01 , 2.01 etc but you get 0.01 , 1.03 , 2.05). its annoying!!!

[@KenJohnsonUSA]

Aside from the 8K, does the regular Ace have the double tap, the flip screen, night filming capabilities, and the no 30 minute shut off? I do a lot of fishing content. I use a CPL. Does Insta360 have a CPL option? Do they have a media mod kit? Can I add any microphone? Also, will their remote device allow you to connect multiple cameras for B-roll footage?

[@1asset]

whole point for me is underwater shooting. i'm going somewhere super special & need a trustworthy device (vs gopro's overheating & freezing up). my backup camera is a lumix compact dslr w leica lens that i adore in many situations so the leica & sensor size of this one got me interested. the low light aspect is great, but if i'm snorkeling & something gorgeous shoots up within inches of me it'll be out of focus w this one, right? what do u think? my main interest is as an underwater camera. i'll bring a good one for land or sky

[@WiljanWiljan]

Thanks Ben! Question...does the insta360 X3 microphone adapter also fit into the ace pro? And will the X3 remote control also work with the ace pro? I hope for both, otherwise you need to purchase a lot of extra accessories

[@cheehaur83]

Great review Ben.. just to check can it take construction Timelapse which may take months? How long if continuous Timelapse (interval 120s) can last?

[@unclecyncle6416]

Hey Ben I think no one can challenge the image the quality of ace pro but is it really an action camera or a rugged vlog camera. I love that u call our the flip screen and mount. I know insta360 call x3 an action camera as well but we all know how easy we can smash the lens (yes we can use lens guard but image quality will be impacted). I can trust GoPro that even I fell multiple times while snowboarding, it will be fine or i just replace the lens guard. I asked mic on 360guy to do a drop test and he say he will reach out to insta360 to see if they do one. One thing u didn't call out is the weight, it is heavy and bigger then go pro and putting it on the Helmet or hold on to it by hand on a stick will add up. Just sharing what I feel 👌

Also, the camera doesn’t have the AI warp feature because the processor isn’t good enough and is entirely app based. You also have to pay for it after 3 months, but they dont put that in the ad

[@BenClaremont]

AI warp is an editing effect not a camera feature… and it’s not 3 months, it’s a limit of around 20 or so. The reason is that it comes from another paid AI app which integrates within the Insta360 app and that app charges for them after a certain amount.

Firstly I’m no pro, I’ve been watching a couple of reviews on the ace pro. What I’d like to know is around SD cards. It seems the default recommended is to use a v30 but it seems like if shooting in 4-8k SD card should be v60-v90 also helping transferring higher quality video data. Or maybe my understanding is wrong. In particular I’ve just invested in Apple 5k display, and MacBook M3 setup. Love to hear about making data transfer speeds quicker with and if higher resolution SD cards can help, and if they are actually compatible with this device?

Hi Natalie, there’s no need really as the V30 cards work fine. They’re not slow and your MacBook should process the footage quickly.

Hey Ben, I do recordings of my airplane's instrument panel using a chest mount in 4K, I later stabilize the video in software (iMovie) which crops it down significantly depending on how shaky I was. This of course loses definition and crops the image, and I find it hard to later zoom in on a particular instrument without making it blurry. Would you say that the 8K (4x4K) camera would be much better at zooming into the shot (especially since it is already stabilized)? Ciao, Marco.

[@MiyagisRant]

This camera is not for everyone, if you want a rugged camera with replaceable lens and no flip up screen then stick with Gopro or DJII but live with overheating issues and terrible low light pretty much unusable footage, DJI is the only that comes close to usable low light shooting but still isn't as smooth as it does not have the 5nm processor to back up the stabilization. I'm getting mine soon and have been following the tech specs of this camera since before it launched. It's not a GoPro killer but it's a damn good start, there are just way too many other innovative features in this first stab at an actioncam body by Insta360 to overlook compared to a 12th gen camera who should have their sh%^ together by now, seriously, chronic overheating issues for a 12th gen camera???? this is their first gen and has NO overheating issues other then the 8K shooting and even that's impressive with heat. GoPro has gotten too lazy, they've had no innovative features in the past few years, let's be honest here. Yes, granted, no removable lens cap which is strange because their pre launch test models had removable lens guards so they changed that for some reason for their final release, I'm sure with time we'll find out why they did this, if you think it's their way of making money by people who will just buy a new one when it's busted then you're wrong, having a lens guard replacement option is more money for the company in terms of 1000% profit for the lens guards, they are $25 to $30 cdn here for the DJI and GoPro ones, you think they aren't making money? lol So I don't think it's a 'profit' scheme. I'm talking to Insta360 right now concerning this bad decision, but this won't be a deal breaker for me for MY usage which is a lot of low light shooting. Please remember there is NO perfect action cam, they ALL have their glitches and cons, YOU have figure out what's best for your shooting using these reviews to make your own decision. Great review btw lol !

Wow. I have no interest in this camera - but I couldn't help watching from beginning to end having started more or less by accident. Having watched many of your videos in the last few years, at last I've undertaken the massive physical effort of lifting my finger and subscribing. Cheers from Melbourne!
