Insta360 Ace Pro 2 vs. DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro

With the amount of DJI gear I have, I think the option to sync the Mic 2 to the DJI 5 sold me

[@brandonsbillings]

Not sure how else to say it, but your reviews are so comforting and cozy. I love that you take tech outside and put it through real-life paces. Keep it up!!

[@kavishkanipun]

Worst reviewer 🤢

[@ScottDy9000]

Great review. I sold my Ace Pro and tried the Action 5 this year. So far I am enjoying color grading clips. 10bit D log looks so good graded. I wish the DJI magnetic mount would work both ways but I do find it more secure compared the the Ace Pro mag mount - it's really solid once lined up.

[@scottbenson8105]

Amazon sells a 3rd party mount that fixes that problem and right now after a discount on their website it’s only $15

[@MsAmeriCanadian]

Link to product please! ​@@scottbenson8105

[@mshaftenberg]

The shot at 6:23 shows why I sent back the Ace Pro 1 and went for DJI A5. The blobs and jitters are horrible in daily usage if you don't have Miami's sunshine. I love the Go 2 and have the One R for its 360 lenses, but Action 5 is miles ahead for all the reasons mentioned in this video. Subscribed, I just saw your "leaving Verge" video and came back here to comment. Well done Becca, I'm looking forward to your content!

[@orvvro]

Wow, didn't even notice that. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@kenzacharyrodriguez2591]

yeah the dji was very impressive, im glad i stumbled upon this video. i was considering buying the ace pro 2 as a 2nd camera but now i changed my mind. DJI it is!

[@PuipuiSomchai]

I didn't notice that. That kind of helped me to decide. I've been liking the Ace Pro's color more, and i feel like the video on action 5 is too cloudy and too low contrast, and the lines are not natural and smooth. But the part you're pointing out kinda big difference of these two cameras 👍

[@selishots]

Not having 10bit is a huge miss on the insta 360 side

[@YonnyDigital]

Nice seeing you here 👀

[@Pharaohinthecut]

Most people won't be professional color graders. But yes it should be standard for their pro model in 2024

[@selishots]

@@Pharaohinthecut every other action camea out has it, and like it's said in this video a "Pro" camera should have pro features

[@RogerJunPhotography]

They’re have the Apple syndrome . Tryna stagger features for the upcoming models for next few years

[@jefferson2214]

literally nobody cares, people who do wont buy action camera

[@Wildman_Tech]

Honestly, this kind of content is inspirational. Thanks for the no-BS reviews! Also, any sort of video that mixes techy expertise with upstate NY Fall views is a major win for everyone.

[@TechMishka]

Loved your conclusion! So true! And a lot of dope shots and vids ❤

[@EricCCChen-k8x]

I've got 99 problems and mounting my camera will not be one of them. Insta360 it is.

[@Heckman_Productions]

Two biggest things that turned me away from the Ace Pro was the narrow FOV and the weight. Unfortunately, the Ace Pro 2 doesn’t seem to have improved either of those areas enough for me to consider buying one. DJI will continue to have my business for my needs. Great video though! Enjoyed it from start to finish

[@IronManMoto]

since Becca didn't mention, you don't know that Ace Pro 2 has the widest FOV currently 157 degrees compared to GoPro (156 degrees) and DJI 5 (155 degrees)

[@MicroFourNerds]

eeey! was waiting for your review on the Pro 2 🙌

[@BeccaFarsace]

gottchu!

[@Brandenwilletts]

I have been a huge fan of you and your content for years and I just wanted to say how excited I am for the future of your videos and this channel. I am so happy for you that you took the leap and left The Verge and are doing your own thing now. I can't wait to see what's coming next and I can't wait until that number under your name says 1 million subscribers!

Solid review Becca! Thank you! Just got the A5 and ordered an Ace 2 to compare. I really only need this cam for one use case so I can wait to test. I know the A5 will have way better battery performance but it that 2X clarity zoom for my use case will be huge! One or the other will be the difference maker. Thanks again.

Your reviews are not only technically accurate and informative, they are so easy to watch! You just have a natural comfortable way of speaking! Gained a sub! Question, with the 2 chips in the insta360, do you think maybe 10bit could come as a firmware update in the future and if so, would this change your opinion?

[@ak_hoops]

Becca, you really be outside and I LOVE that. Thank you for taking these cameras and tech outside! Thank you for keeping your videos unique you!

I actually waited for a few more videos after I watched ur video leaving the Verge. And I am happy for you and I want to congratulate you for making that step. Hopefully seeing more videos on cameras and mobile phones. Thank you Becca!

[@glssjg]

Solid video that acknowledges the pros and cons and shows real world side-by-side

[@Sam-e8g1t]

When you take a closer look on both adapters, you will find on the insta360 one, it has notch on the surface of the clips, which makes it much easier to glide in. On the other hand, the dji adapter has flat clips.

[@ec8155]

Thank you! 🙏🏼 for your input. I am planning to get one for personal use Mainly documenting vacation.

[@LiquidTurbo]

This review is as crisp as the fall weather it was filmed in! Awesome comparison between the two products!!

[@chicojuanito2]

Just like everyone else - "They don't get to see this video. This video is not sponsored but they sent me free gear. " If you trash their product, they're not to send you free gear anymore. KZbin needs to create a new category called "semi-sponsored" for this.

[@edsmileytube]

I agree, as well as if you get to keep the camera, you were essentially "paid" for this review. Even the FTC references "Financial relationships aren’t limited to money. Disclose the relationship if you got anything of value to mention a product.". And as mentioned, they don't control this video but this video more than likely controls if you get the next product. It is a slippery slope and no insinuation of dishonesty is meant, but the whole I wasn't paid but was given a free camera to keep doesn't mean it wasn't sponsored.

[@MauricioPlaza]

at the end she end up with the DJI and not the insta360.

[@0351marinemike]

Meanwhile, she chose the DJI (direct competitor) over the Ace Pro 2

[@sebastianirarrazabal6756]

Well, that's why some youtubers don't get invited to launch events and have to source the products out of their pocket, or have another brand non-relater to the product to sponsor them. Yhere are several ways to be sponsored. Take LTT and Dbrand relation. The last one gets them some amazing gadgets and they are sponsoringthe video so the youtuber doesn't own them nothing.

[@nathanvrvrt]

In belgium there is are rules for influencers and if an influencer receives a product and gets to keep t (without being paid extra for reviewing it) the influencer needs to pay taxes for the product. It is a weird rule but it is like you say, they are payed in a product. So nobody in belgium does free advertising anymore they want some extra money for it to pay for the taxes.

[@meriamzaide2600]

Watching from Seoul South korea thanks for sharing your video.

[@robsawalker]

Curious to know how these compare to an iPhone video. I bought an action cam a few years ago (a $150 Amazon special one) and to be honest, it sucked. Should have just used my iPhone, but I mounted it on my bicycle helmet which maybe would have been a bit weird? 😄

[@BeccaFarsace]

The mounting and general durability are what separate action cameras from everything else for me. I was actually thinking about this while mounting these cams on the side of my car, facing the tire. As I started to drive I thought "well if they go flying off, they will probably be ok", but if my phone or a more expensive camera was mounted there I would be incredibly anxious. The same goes for diving with these devices or attaching them to any sort of sporting equipment. They are tough, tiny cameras that cost less and therefore typically cause less anxiety.

[@Tonyluo2001]

Well, your iPhone has more jobs than just video shooting, doesn't it? In 2 or 3 years when the battery life starts decreasing, you won't want to let the camera to drain your phone battery. Also, these 2 action cameras have bigger lenses than latest iPhone, meaning better night performance. I wish they upgraded them to 1" sensors, though.

[@RadiNurjaman]

your phone maybe cant handle too much vibration as much as action cam can do

[@PlanetDaryl]

Great video Becca. More and more people are buying action cams for vlogging. The DJI Action 5 Pro would be a better choice just because of the wireless bluetooth mics and more so for couple vloggers (which there are plenty nowadays) since the DJI can support 2x mics wirelessly while keeping the camera weatherproof.

[@Khormologia]

Loved the review, your reviews are always cosy and catchy :D I have a side question, what lens do you use with the A7C 😍

[@LiquidTurbo]

she's covered it before, she uses the kit lens that she purchased separately

[@koldovasiki]

[@JASONMCDONALD2]

What's so bizarre is at first I didn't see a reason for me to watch this particular video because I thought I had nonise for an action camera. But then I remembered: I have a kayaking class coming up and wouldn't it be nice to have one of these cameras for when I go kayaking?? And thus, here I am having watched another Becca Amazing Video™️. ❤❤❤

[@BlackZEddie]

Which action cam has the tightest/narrowest field of view? More telephoto. Basically, when I'm on a roadtrip, action cam on windshield I want it to record the way I see out the windshild. Currently, action cams I have are DJI Action 2 and GoPro 10, and everything looks small and far away past the hood of my car. Thanks.

[@ManlyHK1]

You forgot to mention the sound: as a "pro" I think the ability to connect wirelessly and quickly to a microphone is of paramount importance! Does the Insta360 have that option?

[@maxie6990]

Hello can you compare how they can be used as webcam?? As I known the DJI can only export as 1080p webcam. have no idea about the insta360 ace pro 2

[@GaryTodd]

Awesome vid Becca, I'm a heavy user of the Insta360 which is a great camera and now shopping for an action cam (or 2) for moto vlogging and really struggling between both. I like the screen and software for the Insta but I love the mics and connectivity with the DJI. (and v long battery life)

[@noeliarodriguez7795]

¿Anybody knows how to fix HLG 10 Bit footage on premiere pro? I filmed on that profile by accident and now my footage looks awful :(

[@SupersonicTraveller]

Action 5 Pro is keeping its crown for sure! As a scuba-diver, free-diver and hiker/runner I would trust more to DJI Action 5 Pro. It handle underwater way better. It gets 20meters no-housing depth. And it is cheaper almost 100$. Is there at least something, that Insta360 Ace 2 Pro can put on top?

[@AdamHelb]

The Ace Pro 2 has a zoom that can be used inside the housing

[@SupersonicTraveller]

@@AdamHelb good call. However zoom features on action cameras usually are killing the quality so bad. Honestly, I don't know who and when will ever use a zoom feature with action camera.

[@kaltask1]

@@SupersonicTraveller low light brightness, though I would like to see how much each of them jitter when used in cycling/skiing/motorcycle at night. Almost all reviews and comparisons are just people walking

[@SupersonicTraveller]

​@@kaltask1 I have a video on my channel called "I Took My DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro DEEPER Than Recommended", where I tested Action 5 Pro running before the sunrise. Also scuba-diving at 20meters depth. And in the next few days I will have another video comparing different bitrate modes in the low-light conditions. Stay tuned!

[@20ne]

I have the Insta360 Ace Pro (original model), and for me the "clarity zoom" is amazing, is a lossless zoom (not like DJI one). then, lowlight mode is incredible in both old and new Ace Pro, and also on the DJI 5 Pro, but the new Ace Pro can record in this mode in 4K 60FPS, not like the other two, and that´s a game changer feature. then, 8K 30FPS video; that is awesome. I have 8K 24FPS in my Ace Pro and it is incredibly detailed (if you want to record some amazing nature shots, for example). I can´t imagine how it would be with 30FPS. for me, having 10 bit color depht is nothing compared with these exclusive Ace Pro features. in the reviews I watch I can´t really appreciate one camera having a "better" color over the other. so I don´t think that would be a must have for the mayority of users. maybe the battery is better in the DJI (not sure), but you can just carry with you other batteries if you need them. then, they say that the Insta360 app is the best one far away form the others (personally I can´t compare them). and the other advantage of the DJI is the underwater resistance. again, something that you can match (and surpass) just using the underwater case of the Ace Pro. Ace Pro 2 (maybe 1 too) can now add the GPS (and all that kind of stuff) from carrying just your phone (or other devices) with you. I think Ace Pro 2 have some great advantages to "put on top" of the Action 5 Pro, that are more important (for me) than more water resistance and 10 bit color depht.

[@NoobFLProducer]

Hi. i have the acer pro but I am looking for a mini portable 4k cam that can record dance music festivals that won't distort the sound. can you give me a few brands please? ty Also you can't really zoom in on the acer pro cams and i want a cam that zooms in.

[@notbillymays5062]

Wow this video is the only one that I saw that showed how much the ace struggles in anything but perfect light I had to double take a couple times a lot of that footage looked horrible and you were genuinely trying to get good lighting thanks for bringing this up this makes me super skeptical about a lot of other reviewers cause you said that was a problem with the first one. I just got my first action camera this year I went with the DJI but my second pick was the ace and while watching reviews not once did someone bring this issue up they showed buttery smooth footage in every clip but your review showed both ace cameras with terrible footage how could other reviewers not include this information I would be very upset if I bought the ace and my footage came out so choppy and unclear

Have you had any issues with lenses fogging up with the insta360 ace pro 2?

[@hugogamelas]

Every time there are complex backgrounds, and camera movement, the background flickrs a lot on the ace pros 1 and 2. Its weird that nobody is talking about this, but i have noticed this last year on my ace pro 1, and it hasnt been fized yet on the ap2.

[@RushdiBaharum]

Love you Becca. Love your content and your presentation.

[@PNWEnduro]

Ace Pro 2 looks great in good lighting but the flickering of the skyline behind you at the start of the video on the AP2 is awful. This is something they will need to fix before I'd purchase one. Thanks for a non-biased review, they are extremely rare nowadays.

[@stormense]

You forgot or maybe it didn't happen to you but the cover for the memory card on the DJI A5P usually pops out when you take that usb cable (not easy to put back) and that ring around the lens came off after 3 uses and is somewhere in the woods at home . Super Night Mode is fantastic, but then the camera cannot be used as an action camera, but if you stand still or walk carefully, the function is fantastic. If someone clicks on my name/video, you can scroll down a bit to "DJI Action 5 Pro test in complete darkness with headlamp" and see when I'm testing DJI while running with a headlamp in a dark forest. Not so enjoyable, but no action camera offers that in the dark.

[@kir11]

[@FlingerFilms]

First!!!! Great video! Would love for you to do an episode on low light out and about at restaurants and places noting the quality or lack there in of different camera gear and what you think is the best especially considering the differing type of lighting situations that you would run into. Keep it going! Becca!!!!!❤

[@jamesdevonport]

Loved the video! I totally agree on the DJI mount, I always find it more fiddly than it should be!

[@DavidTeo]

@becca I noticed you were using the more expensive insta360 quick release mount in your video (sold separately), which I totally agree is far superior, with the added option of a threaded tripod mount at the bottom. In fact I have one for my GoPro 12 as well ad my X3 as well, standardising the mounts across these different cameras. However, the default cheaper plastic magnetic mount included with the Ace Pro is even worse than DJI’s Action 5 mount. That is probably the one most people will end up having to deal with.

[@SamRiesgo]

Dude!! Keep it up, you're killing it!! :D

[@colin-nekritz]

Thanks for keeping up these videos, Becca. In a timely manner, I've been watching to buy an action camera, too, in part to use as a webcam for some video blogging because I don't have your and other video blogger's money for an FF camera. Yes yes, I realize most smart phones, including my iPhone Pro Max 14, is perfectly fine for shooting video blogs but wanted a secondary camera.

[@THEFATKIDPH]

It was a good take on the difference of the 2 cameras but i unfortunately not like the Insa Cam as its too bulky

[@pasky7777]

I just got to your channel. I wonder if you have reviewed the workflow of both cameras. I own the ace pro 1 and editing with the Insta360 app is a freeze. Is it that easy on the action 5?

[@mrinvincible8]

Like you videos. Like your quality. Keep em coming!

[@reuben404]

Great comparison. Does the Insta 360 Ace Pro take 360 degree view video?

[@pasky7777]

No. It does some tracking.

[@ryancampbell1151]

Which camera has better onboard audio recording?

[@michaelchang8977]

Well, one of the advantages on Insta360 Ace Pro 2, is the ability to record in Anamorphic (2.35:1) mode, with higher bit rate (180mbps) compared to DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro (100mbps) The advantages in recording in Anamorphic mode, is that you don’t have to record something using Anamorphic lens, and then de-squeeze in an app on the computer. Saves a lot of time. The higher bit rate is really crucial as well!!

[@TuckerPearce]

Becca if my use case is indoors filming volleyball games and upgrading from a GoPro 11 would you go with the DJI? Great video, thanks again. Would also like it for some low-light stuff, but not key. Do you really notice the quality difference in the 8K?

[@kane01337]

Awesome little run down! + 100% on the 10bit colour - way too important for those of us using these in multicam / bigger setups! :) Great conclusion & final points - might be worth having a small little graphic / text on the final points (ie pros & cons list ) Only other thing wouldve been nice to see an A7S/FX3/R5 mirrorless footage thrown into the comparison for reference here and there (esp colours, DR , skintone reference etc)
