I was very disappointed to see the blackheads on my nose weren't sharp!

[@kir11]

Very important attention to this issue with the focus. I just change my mind about update of my DJI Osmo Action. Thank you!

Glad I could help!

[@coment80]

Dude, it's a sport camera. Good sport camera. There are hundreds of other devices for narcissistic shots of a beautiful face.

I totally agree with you! They should just stop branding it as a vlog camera, don't you agree? I mean I do praise it for its qualities but... I think they wanted to reach too many people.

[@PLACESNONDESCRIPT]

😂😂😂😂😂

This camera is my favourite... The clarity feature helped to shoot great PICS from a distance in a REAL forest situation. The bonfire video has come out great because of PUREVIDEO feature. I just love this camera. Regarding the focus issue.. ive already got a diopter (lens) from vivitar. Ive a gopro as well but kept it aside in case of an emergency like situation. I love this camera and it deserves to be loved IMHO.

And I am happy for you! Actually for taking photos it is pretty good I have to say! What diopter do you have?

[@qbukhari]

I am using it An excellent action camera

Glad you like it!

[@riccardovacchi1362]

I definitely fell in love with the Insta360 Ace Pro. Of course I'll use it while riding my EUC, but also when I'm vlogging at 50cm, taking advantage of the blur to hide my blemishes. But most of all I will use it in the evening in Rome during walks with my wife and friends, because in low light conditions this cam is superb!

Ciao Riccardo! Guarda secondo me è una grande action cam ma hanno un po' mentito su questo fatto della focusin distance e rompe un po' le scatole. Però generalmente come ho detto nel video è una bomba.

[@iamearthbeing]

: But wait, if i have to get a closer shot ( less than 60 cms ), I can place the camera at 60 cms and double tap it....zoom the frame... Its possible, right?

In theory yes

[@firatsanliturk]

Because it's an f2.6 prime lens. With that aperture, the minimum distance to focus on infinity is - seemingly - about 60 cm. Why? Because like others said, this is an action camera to image everything BUT your pretty mug. If that hurts your ego, simply put the camera on a selfie stick or put a 4+ diopter lens on the ace pro lens. Half of what's behind you will be blurred but at least the world will not be bereft of your magnificent visagé!

bro the problem is that the company says 40cm and in reality is 60! And also if you make a camera that is supposed to be meant for vloggers with big egos and magnificent visages then do it properly. And thanks for the comment and for watching man! I really feel like my complaining and magnificent visage touched you! I just love the internet(I am not even sarcastic)

[@FloAndre.]

I have been disappointed by gopro cameras in recent years, I haven't even tried the latest versions. I've been using Insta x3 for some time and it's quite ok, I might try Ace Pro too, thanks

The X3 and X4 are amazing! They do everything and they are fun. The only downside is the file size and file management

[@Captain_Yodelstein]

I didn't see much difference in the examples with the straight arm vs. the bent arm while doing selfies. Also, while on the tape measure, the phone looked like it was in focus the whole time.... so was that shot with the Ace Pro? The image streamed to the phone may not have been clear, but the phone was in focus.

Mate it is just not there, the camera is good, and I have shot some things that actually look pretty decent for an action cam, but sometimes it is just annoying to see stuff behind you that are in focus. And don't mean only for vlogging. Think about when you want to shoot a close up of something like a flower or a leaf ora some other things and you cannot get close, or you have to mount the diopter and unmount it. With this particular camera the company should have just came out and be direct and straight about it.

[@Captain_Yodelstein]

Thanks for the reply. I wag h your video on my phone (like many people probably have), so that might have something to do with not seeing the subtleties in the quality. I found your video while researching for replacements for my GoPros, which just randomly become bricks. I mainly do action shots driving 4x4s, quads, dirtbikes, mountain/BMX, etc.... with some vlog type talking here and there. In your opinion, would you recommend this camera?

Thank you for watching and commenting. Listen if you know that you almost never will need to go close to a subject then yes, it is pretty good, quality wise is awesome, you can even rig it up properly to have better protection for quads and dirtbikes. Don't buy it if you plan to talk to the camera a lot. But that's just my 2 cents on it.

[@Captain_Yodelstein]

I really appreciate you taking time out of your day to respond. This camera is high on my list of replacements for my current cams.

[@rs8197-dms]

optical physics dictates that you have to have a focal length and depth of field. It is primarily an action camera. If the focal length were to be reduced, the functionality of a (primarily) action camera would be compromised. If you are going to vlog with it, accept that there are constraints. There are now replacement lens covers on amazon for $12, the lens cover screws off and the new one screws on. Non-problem.

And I totally agree with you! Problem is that they state the minimum focusing distance is 40 centimeters and in reality it kind of starts focusing at 55-60 centimeters. The problem is not the camera is the advertisement that’s been done so far. And yes this action camera does not do it for me.

[@GRJOHN360]

According to the internet Minimum Focus Distance of Ace is 1.9ft (0.6m) and Ace pro is 1.3ft (0.4m)

according to my test it is not true, and believe me I've done more than one

[@Cameraflyer-]

The solution causes the background to go out of focus. I'll stick with my GoPro.

Yeah I think it is better 😅

[@SamHall-cg9dq]

If you dont like it, ill take it 😂

wanna buy it?

[@SamHall-cg9dq]

For how much 🤨

[@user-bg3fl5ku4i]

😂Bro just get over it. Life is short. Little things like this bothering you ?Get the different camera and i am sure you will face with other different problems. LOL

Ture, true I just made this video so that other people who would like to buy this camera for vlogging know about it. Maybe it will help a few people make a good decision. It's about giving something to the community and getting some views and maybe in the future making a living out of it. Thanks for the comment and the view!
