Insta360 Ace Pro 2 | The Game Has Changed.

[@bkxc]

Footage is looking pretty dang good! The light/dark stuff was solid.

[@CaliradoKid]

Yea it's super crisp! The low light performance is nuts.

[@UnprofessionalKyle]

The wind blowing your shirt at 11:30 while the audio is still crispy is a convenient side test. You can hear the wind getting muffled, but without really disturbing your dialogue. That is awesome 🤘

[@CaliradoKid]

Yea dude. I'll send you a comparison clip I made of the gopro vs the ace pro 2. It's night and day.

[@trailmonster]

That was a really good review on the camera. The background setting was pretty epic.

[@MTBQandA]

Wow! 2 videos back to back?! BUSY! That camera looks incredible and the audio is so crisp! Sigh...Now I know what I want for my birthday!

[@CaliradoKid]

Yea dude! The last two weeks have been crazy. 😂

[@SmartLifeHacks12]

Some of that low light footage looking like GTA 6. This new generation might just be worth the upgrade!

[@halima3061]

For someone who swears by Leica, this is big. Insta360's image quality matching up is a pleasant surprise. Might be a new addition to my kit

[@CaliradoKid]

Yea it's seriously good. I was actually stoked when I got the footage back and started editing.

[@B1KER]

I’m impressed. Looks like I’m converting.

[@CaliradoKid]

This thing is a powerhouse! If you want to play around with it for a ride let me know.

[@MyDailyAdventures-andLaughs]

I love riding there! That cam does perfect justice to that network of trails.

[@geoffreyquaile4383]

I love your shorts. This is a really good review too.

[@CaliradoKid]

Hey thanks! I'm kinda stoked to get back into some long form videos again. It let's me talk more! 😂

[@johnsonjay60]

Love mine so far

[@estimateparagon]

Nice video. I forget how good of a rider you are. Been traveling to NoCal for work. I need to get to Granite Bay to ride.

[@briangong007]

Looks good! Since I have ridden these trails with you, its ability to show depth aka steepness seems better than other cameras! That is huge for us mtb riders! I didn't know it has a speed up feature, as I have ridden with you and umm well yeah it looks faster than normal.. lol jk 😂

[@CaliradoKid]

Hahaha! That's just cause you ride so damned fast I can't lose you anymore. 😂

[@mtbingadventures1551]

Great camera review and it seems like a really good product. Also, 5:18 I think was a Rambo movie line?

[@sprousaTM]

I bought the ace pro ONE when it came out. I really hope they are able to get some more firmware updates out for a wider field of view.

[@CaliradoKid]

Oh yea. I wonder how dependent that is on the sensor and lens they actually have in the camera. It might be restricted by the hardware. But I don't TOTALLY know that.

[@sprousaTM]

@@CaliradoKid The old model had around 138ish degrees fov.. so 157 is a heck more. I came from the insta360 One RS and the ace pro was a significant upgrade for my mtb videos. Awesome camera! Pretty sure the pro 2 will step up the game a notch.

[@CaliradoKid]

@@sprousaTM Oh yea the new FOV is awesome. And honestly it's likely being cropped a LITTLE bit in this vid because I have stabilization set to HIGH. I could probably set it to STANDARD here since I have the camera mounted on my helmet and get a few more degrees of view.

[@timgarland5949]

The heck with the camera... What interesting geomorphology and what a cool place to ride! Some place in California, I presume?

[@CaliradoKid]

Yes! The rocks out at Granite Bay, CA are so cool! I always love cruising through that area.

[@THESEGMENTPR]

Man that was really really good! I am definitely interested in this camera. Might have to be the one I use in 2025 for sure ! 👍

[@giovanni2one]

Great review! do you a riding group for the trails in the video? I also ride here but you have different boulder features…keep up the great work..and ride!

[@OutdoorGentleman]

What did you get from insta360 ?

[@RGMGFitness]

I'm not a mountain biker (we'll, not since college anyway). 😅😅😅 Great locations though...almost made me want to take up riding again. Anyway, very cool location. I'm a GoPro guy myself...but this camera does look interesting (I do like the colors). Nice job on this video..can tell you really put some time into it.

[@LawrenceMacMacster]

Yo you're on fire, keep em coming 🔥

[@CaliradoKid]

Thanks!! I'm seriously hoping to make a lot more KZbin vids going into 2025.

[@TimDillardPhotography]

Already bought the A2 and the A5, but what did you record this video with? Your 3d pop in the desert in a few scenes was fantastic!

[@CaliradoKid]

Oh yea so my main camera is a Sony A7siii. Best camera I've ever owned hands down.

[@mushieslushie]

I'm curious what the other camera you used to record this was, that footage looks really good.

[@CaliradoKid]

Oh yea! So I've got a Sony A7siii. It's a beast!

[@RideyRodney]

But that cartwheel tho. Clean.

[@mtbextreme01]

i thought the footage looked like crap until i changed my playback quality to 4k! massive difference!

[@CaliradoKid]

Oh yea!! Gotta watch in 4k to really see it in action for sure!

[@rpiian]

If it doesn’t have heat and battery issues, that’d be #1 for me!

[@DimitriosKanellopoulos]

Hey I love your videos bruv but just one question. Did you get the camera for free ?

[@splooshmtb]

Instructions unclear, bought a new couch and movers by mistake.

[@CaliradoKid]

Well at least you got TWO movers!! 😂

[@dodgymtbknee]

been running the osmo action 3 for the past 2 years now.... i think its time to upgrade! ace pro 2 looks a very impressive picture quality and the audio quality sounds great.

[@CaliradoKid]

Yea I was SO surprised at how good the audio was with this thing. The built in wind muff is something we've been asking for FOREVER! So stoked on this thing.

[@dodgymtbknee]

@@CaliradoKid 100%! sounded like you were doing a voice over it was that clear🤯

[@rmhfpv9225]

Ever ride with Rich Burger? He made most of those trails including Dirty Dozen the spot you said was one of your quirky faves.

[@CaliradoKid]

Yes! I’m pretty sure I have! So awesome.

[@dayinnymtb]

Sounds like your fork is crying, “service me boss 😢” 😆

[@CaliradoKid]

Haha! Damn thing BETTER not need service. It's brand new!! 😂

[@dayinnymtb]

@@CaliradoKid fun fact - my brand new Fox Factory needed the wipers replaced cause the air side kept leaking. 1 month old :( of course that was after I convinced my wife it was worth the money because it’s the very best and high quality - well played Fox 😆

[@outandaboutwithMAMO]

What a Playground... WTF !! ❤👍🏽 BTW, What's this for a Headlamp?

[@rmhfpv9225]

towards the end when it gets dark where was your bike light mounted? I didn't see the Evo on the bars?

[@CaliradoKid]

Oh so I forgot my Evo in the truck. So I had the Hangover mounted on the top of my helmet. Still works great! But having the Evo AND the Hangover is the ultimate combo.

[@iamjeromedupont]

thanks for sharing also if you don't mind me asking which camera are you using to shoot this review?

[@CaliradoKid]

Oh yea I’ve got a Sony A7siii

[@iamjeromedupont]

@@CaliradoKid crispy!

[@AbeAlSaleh]

Am I crazy or does the audio get really out of sync when you're filiming in low light? Is that the camera?

[@KurtRWalker]

I was sold on the last model so this looks even better. Any thought though on the online storage that Go pro was offering? 50 bucks a year is hard to beat, I would think this is another good upsell profit center for DJI and Insta so why arent they doing it? How do you handle storage, (everyone option I looked into was far more) and online is best for those of us that travel the world.

[@CaliradoKid]

Ohh interesting topic. So as a content creator I setup my own Raid array. Pretty cheap! A couple hundred bucks and I have like 18TB of storage. No need to pay for cloud storage anymore. It’s awesome.

[@BassManStrikes]

It's a bit chunky for certain situations.

[@minsoochoi]

Do the files automatically split after a certain GB size or length or does the entire clip stay a single file no matter the length of shot on the Insta360 Ace Pro 2?

[@CaliradoKid]

Oh good question! I wonder what length it would need to be to split. I can say off all the clips I shot nothing split into multiple sections. But I don't know how long my longest clip is. I'd have to assume that it stays one clip as my GoPro Hero 12 never split anything either and I did some big days in Spain with that thing.

[@nutsaboutmints1701]

What is the stability like over rough trails when its fully dark. I'm thinking of upgrading from my Insta360 X3. I've been doing lots of night riding and the X3 isn't really up to the job.

[@CaliradoKid]

So you can kinda see at the very end of the video it's pretty damned dark and I'm ONLY using my headlamp from Outbound Lighting. I forgot my handlebar light when I shot this. So I'm hoping to give it a full night test soon. But based on what I've seen I didn't see ANY breakdown in the stability when I shot that night footage with only the headlamp.

[@nutsaboutmints1701]

@@CaliradoKid as you can see from my footage with the X3 it's almost unusable. I'm looking for good stability when fully dark, I'm hoping the Ace Pro 2 can handle it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6TZZJuXZcqNfbcsi=aH_ZjPBf9176DN59

[@ModelAviationGeek]

Holy shit I’m the first mtb for ever

[@1monkeyflower]

Is that a headlamp your using, if so what one?

[@CaliradoKid]

Oh yea! That's the Outbound Lighting 'Hangover' light. I usually pair that with their Trail Evo handlebar light on night rides. Seriously the best setup in the business.

[@davisjl1979]

Can you easily replace the lens guard?

[@LucianCioranu]

yes

[@egycsab]

But does it overheat?

[@CaliradoKid]

I gotta go stick it in an oven to stress test it! 😂 Seriously it was 103 degrees out when I was shooting this and I had no issues. But I didn't set out to really TRY and make it overheat. I can just say that in real world shooting and testing I had no issues.

[@egycsab]

@@CaliradoKid Thanks. I had to return 2 GoPros because of that, and gave up on recording my rides at the end. This one looks really appealing though.

[@DaveLopez575]

Wow

[@Jeff-yy5fe]

Other than KZbinrs, why record your ride? Just ride!

[@CaliradoKid]

Yea that's true. I will say having the footage from riding trails from around the world is still really cool. Like I can go back and look at my footage from Oaxaca even though I didn't technically make a video from it.

[@ds936]

Came here to check out the camera, ended up watching him ride.

[@TheLoamRanger]

Why not? It’s fun!

[@GLeSnail]

100% film your rides, seeing your improvement over the years is more than gratifying. Uploading to KZbin for 10 year olds to make fun of you isn’t as much. 😂 Ride safe!

[@Jeff-yy5fe]

@@CaliradoKid Yea, I’ve been around the world on the bike too, but I never rewatch my rides, I just go ride more. I know when I’m improving when I don’t crash. I’m in Sedona so I’m luckily than most bikers. Shred the red! PS- Love the humor and levity!

[@nrs8043]

+$100 OVER the conversion rate outside the US. Now it only makes sense to buy GoPro or DJI

[@OutdoorGentleman]

I don’t like to watch video that are paid or sponsored by the camera company. Not honest people

12:55 is still out of focus just like the ACE PRO 1

[@kjdtm]

all of the review's that appeard today and i skimmed over them, say the exact same thing, but with different footage, nobody dares to touch the overheating problem... i dont understand why

[@CaliradoKid]

Hmm. I've never been known for my in depth reporting but I'm willing to bet DC Rainmaker would touch on it? I can tell you I was filming in 103+ degree weather the day I made this vid and had no issues. So not sure that's helpful but I honestly never ran into a problem.

Bagus

Why dose bro look like ted lasso

[@CaliradoKid]

You're not wrong! 😂

[@UncleTrapperMedia]

GoPro went downhill long ago. the Ace Pro 2 is better than GP, but the Dji Action 5 Pro is better over all, better color science, better skin tones and no gimics.

[@David-qy6bs]

And a much longer lasting battery.

[@ThouShaltNotBlink]

Giveaway pls

[@OutdoorGentleman]

Big lie, GoPro now does the magnet mounting, not to mention that you can do it on 9,10,11,12 & 13
