Great video - thank you, Otto. Your comments were spot-on. They're different cameras, for different users. Both are amazing.

[@OttoJulian_]

indeed! but hopefully this helps those people who can't make a decision or are starting to search for a new camera! Cheers!

[@AirsoftRealSteelBoxing]

I still can't make a decision. Maybe get both?? Then not eat for a quarter 😂

[@peternoury]

In my opinion the ace pro videos look soo much better than the pocket 3. Only thing the pocket 3 has going is dlog

[@OttoJulian_]

Thanks for sharing your opinion! I do like the image quality out of it, although some people have expressed otherwise.

[@VRuiz-fj7mo]

Great video comparing both cameras and providing us with clear advantages each one provides. As always, thank you for sharing with us all your expertise.

[@SavageFlies]

Otto- just popping in to check up on you. I see you're still crushing it my friend! Hope you're doing well. 🙂

[@OttoJulian_]

Hey Matt !!! Thank you so much!! Hope you are doing well too!

[@The_0ne504]

You can make the Pocket 3 respond to your movements faster by adjusting the setting to the fastest option. I had to do that to track my dog but it made all the difference.

[@OttoJulian_]

sure! I know about that, but it will never compare to a point and shoot style camera. I don't mind about this movement, I do like it but I am passing along a recurring complain of people that don't know about this fact.

[@petercofrancesco9812]

@lian_ Someone said that if you hold down the Pocket joystick button it will lock the camera in it's current position then you can move it around like a normal camera. Since I don't own the Pocket I can't verify it.

[@OttoJulian_]

The camera can be locked but it will point in the same direction, so if you move it around the camera head will point the original direction, not the direction that you are facing

[@petercofrancesco9812]

@@OttoJulian_ Good clarification. So if you point it at an object and hold down the button the gimbal will turn to maintain that object in the frame even if you move.

[@cjsa.08]

New subscriber here! Your videos are really informative and your voice is calming as well. Unlike other channels that just shows the product with a fast pacing, I really appreciate that you include the video quality and everything to know about the product. Thank you so much! 😊

[@OttoJulian_]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@teabaggins3517]

I just got the Ace Pro. I can confirm that dynamic range is better on Ace Pro by a little but low light there's night and day difference. Aco Pro is superior overall and the stabilizer is almost as smooth as the gimbal

[@itsmattyboom]

I'm really glad you made this pro/con video! I've been vlogging on my channel with a Pocket 2 for about a year and a half, but I'm actually going to get the ACE when I get buy my next camera. I think the pocket 3 is the better camera in terms of image quality and more beautiful footage. Buuuuuut not by a huge margin, the ACE footage still looks quite good. The reason I'm going with the ACE is what you mentioned with having to wait on the DJI, to catch up to where you point the camera when you do a fast pan. I'm not making slow-pan, cinematic videos of nature, I'm VLOGGING on city streets where I'm talking to the camera, then see something and quickly want to point the camera at that thing I see. For this scenario (Which is almost ANY youtube Vlogger) the Pocket is a terrible option. It's actually WORSE than you explain. Because if you have the DJI pointed at yourself, you can't just turn the camera, you have to TRIPLE CLICK a button to get the gimbal to do a 180 turn turn all the way around to your face and then all the way BACK in the other direction to talk to the camera again. I don't know if it's 15 years of office-job muscle memory or what, but I can't tell you how many times I've double clicked instead of triple-clicked - which then just makes the camera re-center, and you have to try again and feel like an idiot for not being able to do a simple triple-click! 🤣 I've tried skipping this step and just turning the camera manually, but when the gimbal is facing outwards, there's no face tracking, so if I manually flip my wrist and aim it at myself to talk the camera, it loses my face and starts drifting up or down. Plus it STILL will do a slow pan and be drifting all over the place for the first few seconds. Think about how the human eye moves, if you're looking at something in a store front on a city street, and then look over at a speeding motorcycle to your right, you don't slooooooooow pan over there, your eye immediately JUMPS to that new scene. THAT is what you want to emulate with a camera when you are shooting, not this slow-pan nonsense. When vlogging, you want a camera you can just WHIP around and almost instantly go from talking to the camera, to filming whatever it is you saw, not a 5-10 second, slow-but-not-slow-enough pan. That "slow pan" ends up being way too fast in the actual footage, and is going to make your audience motion-sick, and you end up having to crop it out anyway. And you're right about that gimbal being fragile. The other consideration is you have to put it BACK in the case every single time you put the camera in and out of your pocket - in a typical vlogging workflow that can be several times a shoot. If you're making cinematic nature videos, or you do "walking tour" videos of cities and never point the camera at yourself, the DJI pocket all day! But if you're doing typical vlogging where you flip back and forth between addressing the camera and showing the viewer what's in front of you, the DJI is a terrible choice, get the ACE!

[@OttoJulian_]

Hello Matty, not sure why I left this one without a reply. Your observations are on point and indeed there are some limitations when it comes to vlogging with the P3, so it depends on the shooting style of each person. DJI did a firmware update and now you can set a mode where the P3 turns way faster, but can only be used if the camera is looking in the same direction as the screen, so you can't see what's going on and I found it to be quite useless because I want to see the screen at least from time to time for my composition. Anyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts

[@MetalGearW0lf]

Hi, thanks for the video! This summer, I'll go to japan and hike. Which of these two cameras would you suggest me? Imagequality is the most important thing to me (4k, 60Hz and HDR if possible). I know the Ace Pro got a (fake / AI) HDR at max. 30Hz, but the Pocket 3 got the bigger sensor and 10bit. I don't want to record myself while hiking, just the nature and the landscapes. I guess there's no blur with the Pocket 3 if there's no person in front / in the centre of the FOV, right? Thanks!

[@OttoJulian_]

yeah that's right, the blur happens when you focus on something close enough but won't happen if you are filming landscape or anything else. If image quality is the most important for you (that is one of the main features I look for as well) I think the Pocket 3 might be a better option.

[@PaolaTourGuide]

I lead tours in national parks and I would like to do quality videos. Mainly will be panorama.

[@nitewalker163]

Thanks for this video. After the comparison done I think I will be getting the pocket 3 for my needs. As I main want it for vlogging during vacation

[@OttoJulian_]

That's a solid choice !

[@swinetownamericanbulldogs1749]

Thank you for the review. Very informative. I am currently use pocket2 and considering buying new one😊

[@OttoJulian_]

You are welcome !!

[@nmc9994]

Very informative review. Helped me decide which one 🤔 thank you.

[@OttoJulian_]

Glad it was helpful! May I ask what you chose?

[@showingYOUtheworld]

It depends what are ,,your" needs !!! For me personally nothing can beat the P3 because I am doing walking videos in different cities around the world and the P3 is the only camera that can give me: 1. Mechanical gimble 2. 4k 60fps 3. 10 BIT HDR 4. Doesn't look like a camera so the people on the streets especially in UK, Belgium and France are less scared and afraid of stealing their souls with that black thing 😜 5. Great video quality on par with other cameras around 1000+€ 6. Small and very compact

[@OttoJulian_]

Agreed! It always depends on what people need out of a camera, that's the reason I make videos like this to help them decide which one has the right features for them. Interesting that you pointed out that it doesn't look like a camera, this is important almost everywhere without people getting annoyed at someone recording stuff

[@dantemclalla2804]

Great video. Only one remark: you can lock the gimbal head by pressing the joystick so to have fast movement with no delay at all...

[@OttoJulian_]

thank you. The gimbal lock on the Pocket 3 doesn't work that way. It locks the orientation of the camera, but that means that it looks in the same direction while it's locked, so if I lock it and pan around, it will keep looking straight, always to the north for example. In other words it doesn't rotate

[@dantemclalla2804]

@@OttoJulian_ this is what I meant! In this way it mimics the same movement you can get from the Insta360’s which has a “fixed” lens (no gimbal)

[@OttoJulian_]

@@dantemclalla2804nope, you are getting it wrong. the camera will never be fixed. gimbal will always be in the play

[@OttoJulian_]

trying to rephrase here, if I move the Ace Pro to the west, north, east, it will point in those directions. Locking the camera like you said (on the Pocket 3) will point north (assuming that's the initial direction when you locked it) but never west or east as I move it.

[@kir11]

Very nice and informative comparison! Especially dark time. Thnk you!

[@OttoJulian_]

Glad you liked it!

[@AshLey-uk9ky]

Hi Otto, can the ace pro capture northern lights? Thank you

[@OttoJulian_]

I can't really answer that since I haven't tried that myself

[@teabaggins3517]

Great video. I have a Dji osmo Pocket 2, and a GoPro Hero 7 Black. I am thinking of upgrading and I have my eyes on the Insta 360 Ace Pro to replace both cameras. Would the Ace Pro have better image quality than the DJI Osmo Pocket 2? I can't find anyone comparing these two cameras but since you have the both you can probably answer my question. Thank you in advance.

[@OttoJulian_]

That's a good question, I haven't compared them side by side, I think Dynamic range will be better on the Ace Pro, also low light

[@MiyagisRant]

I've been buying action cameras since day one and this camera is really quite ground breaking as a 1st generation model, it'll be scary to see Ace Pro 2 and what it can do. Great review and yes, I'm going to bet that Insta360 will announce user changeable lens cover in the near future. For me, I already have the 3rd party lens guards ready to go, once out of the 1 year warranty, there's nothing to stop anyone to replace that lens guard themselves and we already know that it's easily removed ;)

[@OttoJulian_]

Thanks Miyagi! Yeah I was just thinking about their next generation and will most likely be Better. And you are right about the lens guard after the first year!! I’m guessing lots of people will just open them up

[@alirenzo]

Otto, I bought the Insta 360 Ace Pro, but I am a little regretful. I think the DJI Pocket 3 is better because it can make the background blurrier. I want the camera for vlogging, but I live in Malaysia. The humidity here is high, and I think after one or two years, the DJI will not work as well as it did on the first day I bought it. I am so confused about what I should do. My content is about traveling and vlogging, but most vloggers use the DJI Pocket 3. I am so confused. Please help me.

[@OttoJulian_]

Pocket 3 does have some advantages. I don’t think humidity will be a problem, I’ve taken mine to humid countries and no issues

[@nikhilkhamkar4589]

So i liked Insta 360 Ace pro but I liked the blur effect in Pocket 3. What should I do? Is there any way to bring this blur and focus on subjects in Insta 360 ace pro ? Thank you

[@OttoJulian_]

Hi. Unfortunately the way action cameras work are like that, they have pretty much everything in focus. If you get it close enough to your subject the background will be slightly blurred but you can’t get too close with the Ace Pro and the blur is not going to be like the one on the P3 or a lens with shadow depth of field

[@topalecom]

Can you view the video feed of the pocket 3 on a mobile phone?

[@OttoJulian_]

Yeah, both cameras can do that with their app

[@topalecom]

Thanks @@OttoJulian_ great video and content! keep up the momentum I am taking notes to grow my channel too. Another question would you see this to be a good camera for a DYI' er that may need an extra hand recording himself or his projects?

[@Ozpeter]

An excellent informative comparison to help people choose the right tool for the job they want to do. Neither is "best" - it depends what you need. I was unaware of a lot of the Ace Pro features, but I recently moved house and could hardly lift the heavy box containing my huge collection of small cameras! Time for some self discipline...

[@OttoJulian_]

Thanks Peter! Always appreciated! You are right, its about selecting the right tool depending on what you need

[@budspencer7540]

I think you are wrong, the pocket 3 should have a mode to lock in the camera so that can be directed moving around like an action camera... no?

[@OttoJulian_]

No. Even if it did, the P3 doesn’t have electronic stabilization and the videos would be trash.

[@OttoJulian_]

Unless you don’t move the camera but that would defeat the purpose of moving it like an action camera and can be done currently with the gimbal without locking it

Hey Otto I have a Osmo Pocket 3 (OP3) & would like to do POV while walking, etc. I would like a the OP3 @ my sternum level (not interested in placing on the PO3 on back pack shoulder strap). Any experience or recommendation on the most practical set up for that. I looked at various set ups on KZbin already (GoPro for example) just thought you might have 1st hand experience since you are the KING of action camera's. Thanks very much!!

[@OttoJulian_]

oh man! sorry about the late reply! Thanks for your feedback, but I have to confess that I never tried to use the P3 for POV shots on my chest. Hope you found a solution

[@garfieldmtify]

@@OttoJulian_ no worries about taking a while to get back to me. I am quite sure you are a busy man with lots going on in your life. I used the GoPro chest mount which is cool. I have seen however that little finger size now 4K camera which looks alright. Too bad the battery life was not longer but it still has a small footprint which is welcome. Continued success with your channel mate. Peace.

[@OttoJulian_]

@@garfieldmtify Thank you so much! yeah the camera that you mentioned is the GO 3S, from insta360, not sure if you watched my review on that one, pretty cool camera but indeed, it only has 38 mins or so of battery life without using the Action Pod.

[@KaReEdCa]

Hi Otto. Been watching a couple of your videos on these cameras. I’m a landscape photographer, and looking for a good camera (action or otherwise) that does a good job of Timelapse and starlapse photos. I’d like to have a camera that works well at night…I’m mainly interested in photography/timelapse. Video would be a distant second as I don’t do any blogging or YT. I’m debating between the GoPro Hero 12 Black, the Insta 360 Ace Pro, or maybe a Canon RP/R for more $. What are your thoughts for this particular use case? BTW, I think you are in SD? I’m in the OC, and work in SD. Also, was the Comparison of AcePro to Action 4 in Colombia?

[@OttoJulian_]

Hey there. I do travel quite a lot specially to test these cameras. Yeah some shots were done in San Diego on my last trip, love this city and I might visit again in the next days/weeks. I haven't been to Colombia but have plans to visit Medellin at some point. Regarding your original question, the GoPro in my humble opinion is not good for pictures. I think the Ace Pro can do a better job, but if you don't care too much about videos, I think a mirrorless camera will do a better job than any of those action cameras by far. It can get expensive if you start buying different lenses but it's worth it in the long run. Now, between action cameras and the Pocket 3, the latter will perform better, specially in low light due to it's bigger sensor. Hope this helps!

[@KaReEdCa]

@@OttoJulian_ thanks for the reply Otto. I appreciate it. I guess I'd clarify a bit. My main point of the cameras is not the video capabilities but rather the timelapse/starlapse videos of these. I do have mirrorless and a bunch of glass... But I'm considering one of these for an essay Timelapse setup. But I'm also considering an RP or Canon R.

[@KaReEdCa]

Oor additionally an R8 too

[@OttoJulian_]

Thanks. I still think that the canon will be. A better choice for what you are telling me. Selling it might be easier as well if you want to get part of your investment back ☺️

: Minimum distance of Ace pro is 60cms. If i need a closer shot by keeping the camera at 60cms, is by double tapping...? Is that posiible..? If not, is there a dioptre or something that does the work...?

[@OttoJulian_]

Sure. You can zoom in with the camera or in post (at the expense of some resolution). There are diopters out there that I’ve heard about but honestly haven’t tried any of them

[@om_Sed]

Like in any gimbal, u need to setup the setting for fast action

[@OttoJulian_]

it was set on fast. Trust me, I have over 3000 videos just with the Pocket 3 and tons of GBs on the Pocket 2, I know how they work and their limitations, they won't work as a point and shoot, that's how they are meant to be, just like you said: like in any gimbal

P3 120fps 4k mode is fine, that Ace Pro looks like an action camera video quality but with a flippy screen. Pocket 3 and even Action 4 is better imo.

[@anonneymous9949]

Replacable battery sound nice until i broke my Go Pro because water started to seep in apparently after some times due to too much open and close

[@OttoJulian_]

I've never had this issue but I've heard it can happen if the seals break or have too much wear. I do open and close the battery door often. The good part for a Gopro is that you can buy a spare door for cheap.

[@jennarichards]

I was saving to get the go 3, then the pocket 3 and ace pro came out, couldn’t decide between the two! Was leaning towards the pocket 3, but the durability was the deciding factor. Can’t even use the pocket 3 in rain… I don’t even plan on going in the water but just for rain and snow went with the ace pro. Ps I’m so glad I didn’t spend the money on the go 3…. $40 more and you get way better video quality, insta360 should really lower the price on the go 3 at this point.

[@OttoJulian_]

Thanks for sharing your own experience. Yes I agree, I love the P3 but there are some cases where it can't be used, as you said, rain or snow, and it needs more care for sure. I also agree with you about the Go3, it should have a lower price

[@lazee_farm]

Thank you for the detailed comparison. I'm still not sure which one to get. I like how you can do swift movements with the insta360. But I also like the gimbal mounted pocket which would be nice for slow revealing shots. What would you say is better overall for cinematic b roll videos of either scenic places or cooking?

[@OttoJulian_]

You are so welcome! I like the Pocket 3 for multiple reasons including the one that you mentioned (the mechanical gimbal is a big plus). If you are doing smooth movements for your shots it will work perfectly, taking into account all what I said about these 2 cameras (remember that P3 is more fragile and needs more “care”)

I thought I already replied to this? It's not easy to recommend since I don't know all the details. Ace Pro has a wider field of view and the electronic stabilization should work very well in that situation. The P3 will be very good as well, and has all the features that I mentioned in this video and in my original video review

[@sergiusvysokochtimiy]

Why did you put "dji action 4" video in low light scenes, it gives the wrong impression about "dji pocket 3"?

[@OttoJulian_]

I don't know what you mean. DJI Pocket 3 was used in this video dude

[@OttoJulian_]

I was explaining something when I used Action 4 video clips but they are clearly marked as so, only people who are not paying attention would get the wrong impression about the Pocket 3 (Because of course, I'm not saying that those videos are shot with the Pocket 3)

[@utunnelindia]

ace pro is looking good on all occasions.

[@OttoJulian_]

Its a good device

[@thatprcrawlerguy187]

The Pocket seems perfect for real estate videos

[@OttoJulian_]

yeah the large sensor for low light with the mechanical gimbal is great

Hi Otto, are you interested in collaborating?

[@OttoJulian_]

it's better to send me a message over my instagram

After watching camera conspiracy review or the ace pro, I bought the action 4 lol

[@OttoJulian_]

😄 it’s a good one, no regrets!!

[@Bby_innocent_girl]

Excellent

[@OttoJulian_]

Thank you so much 😀

[@delltek102]

The blurred objects in the background are the biggest disadvantage, imo. Come on, DJI, let's get that fixed already. I hate that even when watching cinema movies, it looks horrible. How they get away with that beats me. Whoever is doing shooting, editing, for big movie production and leaves those blurry scenes everywhere should be fired on the spot.

[@OttoJulian_]

thanks for sharing your opinion. The blur in the background is called shallow depth of field, and it helps to focus the eyes of the viewer on the subject. It is a pursued technique on photography and videos. Some may not like it like you but not having that kind of depth of field can be distracting and boring

[@OttoJulian_]

Fun fact, people spend thousands of dollars to get lenses that have a large aperture just to get that blur in the background :)

[@delltek102]

@@OttoJulian_...scenery totally understand, but when you have people interacting in the main scene with the people in the background scene and they are blurred/out of focus, it's really bad, and this is happening more and more lately. It was never like that when you looked at the movies or shows a few years ago.

[@OttoJulian_]

It’s the same, in those cases the main actor is in focus because the director of photography wants the viewer to focus only on him/her and not get distracted by the person in the background, unless it’s necessary for example to show his/her emotion/expressions/etc. and I do understand that not everyone likes this trend in cinema, but it is a technique can help to establish the tone of a scene, for example in “The Joker” as I learned that the blurry people with him in the mirror accentuates his isolation. There are many examples… I’m not trying to convince everyone or anyone at all so I respect the opinion of those who like it and those who don’t

[@delltek102]

@@OttoJulian_It feels like they are doing this to the point that it becomes distracting and super annoying, and there was no real purpose for it in the first place. This was never an issue a few years ago. It is like they are doing this almost for a reason in too many scenes, and the reason is that they are simply too lazy to fix it.

[@nickthinkpainting1978]

Why would anyone buy an action camera that’s blurry if to close??? I have seen many complaints about this. I’ll keep my GoPro 9.

[@OttoJulian_]

I’ve heard that the new batch doesn’t have this problem but I’m not going to buy another camera to test that.

thanks for sharing your opinion! :)

[@kruzik4x4]

Insta360 Ace pro sensor size 15.63mm x 11.72mm. DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Sensor size 12.7mm x 9.6mm. So Ace pro has 23% bigger sensor. In the video you provided incorrect information.

Can the DJI track my hands? If I was recording myself massage a client for IG reels...

hi, I don't think it will do that

[@Chris-fm5oh]

@@OttoJulian_ ok thank you. I just purchased the pocket 3. I've been using the Sony ZV-1F to record reels of me working on people but hoping the pocket 3 will do a better job because of the low light. Your video was very helpful!

@@OttoJulian_ one more thing is that i switched to ace pro because i want to film creative/pov videos without fears😅

@@janicabrigoli6289 that makes sense!! The Ace Pro will be more durable for your creative shots!!

Love your channel but pocket 3 is crap. The DJI app experiences crap while the insta is amazing. When it comes to blogging, everyone’s about field of view which the pocket threes a piece of well you decide. 😊

[@OttoJulian_]

Thanks man. Glad you like my channel. Thanks for sharing your opinion, just wanted to add my 2 cents, some people like the blur in the background, most people using high end cameras will buy wide open lenses just to have that shallow field of view, even for vlogging 😊

The only place that the pocket three beats the ace pro is slightly in low light. That’s about it.

I'm sorry man but DJI has to pay you to say that the night shot is better on the Pocket 3; that shit looks ass.

Which shot looks better on Ace Por than on the Pocket 3? And no, DJI is not paying me, are you being payed by other brands to talk shit on YT channels?

[@OttoJulian_]

Actually there is only one side by side shot, it appears that I didn't have time to do more testing between the 2 of them *together* and that was a clear mistake but I know by experience what the Pocket 3 can do in low light...
