Insta360 Ace Pro Accessories

[@markr041]

There are two issues with the Freewell adapters, one specific to the set: 1. If you use the ND's to get to the 180-degree rule and shoot at frame rates less than 60 fps, you cannot use digital stabilization. Digital stabilization to be effective requires high shutter speeds - no blur (likely at least 1/200th). So, you cannot be "cinematic" (24P and 1/48th shutter = 180) and handhold the camera. This pertains to all ND filters, not specific to the DJ's-Freewell set. I suggest shooting at 60 fps to get good stabilization and smooth motion at high shutter speeds. This is an action cam. 2. The polarizing filter in the set cannot be adjusted with a ring that can be turned. Almost all circular polarizers have a ring you can turn to adjust the filter to avoid reflections and the other useful features of a PL. Without the adjustable ring the PLfilter in the kit is almost useless. You could use the Make Art Now adapter and a 52mm real PL filter (with an adjustable ring) if you want an effective polarizing effect. In sum, I do not think the flilter kit is useful (and I purchased it!).

[@intrepidchimp]

Make Art Now is the man! Thank you so much for this information! Adding it to my notes! 😬👍🏆💯

I am not good at English, but your video helps me to know what Insta 360 ace pro and its accessories looks and what they are. I couldn't decide which one to buy; Insta360 ace pro or Osmo Pocket 3. You helped a lot and I have just decided to buy Insta360 ace pro. You made it clear ! thanks.

[@PhillipSkraba]

You’re welcome, happy to help!!

[@georgekirkaldie5603]

A filter adapter for the dive housing would be good. Something to mount a yellow filter for UV photography

[@fpsFAMOUS]

Thanks for the diopter lense link!

[@PhillipSkraba]

You’re welcome!

[@intrepidchimp]

​@@PhillipSkrabaI just made a post on the insta 360 subreddit and I mentioned the issue again to the team. There needs to be an easy fit diopter offered, not an oversized aftermarket adapter that you screw on. 🫤👎

[@dhavaldawarrior29]

Thank you. This is really useful. Great content.

[@PhillipSkraba]

You’re welcome, glad it came in handy!

[@LoloLolo-lh3hy]

And what about with gimbal,? Which one would you recommend?? Inkee .. or hohem m,t2 ,??? Or other

[@PhillipSkraba]

Probably the DJI RS 3 Mini if you think you really need one.

[@RamblinManMoto]

I bought the quick mount but I don't have any key that came with it like you showed.

[@PhillipSkraba]

Really? That's odd.

[@samerallaf4862]

quick question for you please, have you noticed the dive case when you close it, it doesnt seems to have the same pressure liek the go pro dive case, i am bit worried that it will leak.

[@codingwithlucy]

Might be a stupid question, but how can you connect the invisible selfie stick to the insta 360 ace pro? I can't understand how it connects with the mount provided with the camera.

[@RamblinManMoto]

There is an adapter that screws in to the stick but has the prongs to accept the Ace Pro type magnetic mount.

[@RelaxingMusic-ni6kz]

Great video! Do you know if I can connect the DJI mic 1 to the new insta ace pro? Or the action 4? And do you know if we can live stream (Facebook, KZbin) in the ace pro or action 4?

[@Rteam-]

It's a shame you didn't test the ACE/ACE PRO FLOAT GUARD. I was very interested in that. But thanks for testing other accessories.

[@PhillipSkraba]

That does look cool, I might have to pick it up too! I guess it works similar to the GoPro one, thanks, glad to help!

[@BIGALSCRAWLERS]

Omg how much stuff can u buy for this camera lol insta360 will make a killing this Christmas with that lot 😂😂😂 great video buddy very very informative good job 🤙

[@PhillipSkraba]

I know!! So much great stuff. Thank You!

[@sanjaysukumaran4248]

If i am not wrong only the insta360 selfie stick can be made invisible post editing ?

[@PhillipSkraba]

Nah, you can stick it on a carrot and it should get rid of it. But don’t.

[@NegyedMisi]

Isn't the 3M sticky one-time only? I never used it because I'd thought I won't be able to replace it again.

[@PhillipSkraba]

Yeah, apparently so, I've been washing it and re-using lol.

[@topologyfeels]

Hello and thank you for this, I purchased this camera and am loving it, but wanting to use the 8k stabilised, and edit post pro, so was looking for a gimbal and watched your DJI RS 3 Mini review, which is quite perfect for me as I mostly use micro four thirds- and it's fairly light. But was curious how to attach this ace pro to the DJI RS 3 Mini and if you had an idea, just so I can maximise the 8k use. thank you so much for your videos and your expertise :)

[@PhillipSkraba]

Thanks! Oh that's no problem, you can attach the Ace Pro on the RS 3 Mini no problem, just pick up the Insta360 Quick Release, it has a 1/4 20" hole you can mount to the DJI plate and you're good to go! 8K will be smooth as hell.

[@tarawaukeri8928]

This review has me hooked on the pgytech for compactness. A bit of height and the stand. Thank you!

[@PhillipSkraba]

It’s a good tripod! I think you’ll be happy with it, if you need a link you can find one in the description below 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@js_filming7701]

Will the cold shue adapter actually hold the DJI Mic 2 reciever which is not secured with a screw ?

[@PhillipSkraba]

It’s fairly snug, yep, however this used to work without via bluetooth with the Mic 2, since the last update it stopped.

[@js_filming7701]

Yeah i downgraded the firmware because of it, but, however there are more problems. Starting with the DJI Mic 2 not being able to record while Bluetooth use. This is ab gig one for me @@PhillipSkraba

[@ricarmig]

What pc video editing app do you recommend that is good, simple and free? The Insta360 App on iOS would be enough for me but when you slow down a video like 0.5x (30 to 15fps for example) on a 30 fps timeline, the App does not reconstruct intermediate frames to have less stuttering nor allows to export to h265....

[@ChrisDikmen]

You should mention that you cannot use the cold shoe adapter when the camera is mounted on a tripod or selfie stick.

[@mr.izinyoka]

Hello, Nice video, man! Quick question. Will the standard mount that comes with the Ace Pro work on the selfie sticks that you showcased or do you have to buy the quick release mount? Thanks.

[@PhillipSkraba]

It'll work, as it comes with the 1/4 20" mount so you can attach it to the selfie sticks, they all have a 1/4 20" on top. Thanks!

[@mr.izinyoka]

@@PhillipSkraba thanks mate, really appreciate the response. Haha, super hesitant on ordering accessories online (limited parts for that model in South Africa)…I would need to take out a loan to meet the exchange rates, amongst other variables. Thanks again.

[@PhillipSkraba]

Anytime! I can imagine in some places it's hard to pick certain things up.

[@walkwithyan]

can the ace pro files be transferred directly to the computer and edited without using the insta360 app?

[@PhillipSkraba]

Yes!

[@glasgowharleyrider]

Great insight . Well presented , QVC be chasing ya

[@PhillipSkraba]

Thanks! I hope not haha!

[@jamesstamoulakatos3909]

The Ace Pro Freewell ND filters aren't even listed on their website.

[@PhillipSkraba]

They’re not no, only on the Inst360 website, they are exclusive to Insta360 but made by Freewell.

[@gore0710]

Hä?? Im Confused. Few weeks ago you recomend the action 4 over the ace pro. What happened? Do i have to sell my action now and buy the ace??

[@PhillipSkraba]

Well, if you’re looking for a hardcore action camera with 10-bit and Log, Action 4 it is. If you’re looking for a vlogging camera, Ace Pro ticks basically all the boxes for me after getting to know it better. It does all the jazz in camera, so for vloggers it’s pretty amazing.

[@gore0710]

@@PhillipSkraba Okay :) i understand. I own the Action 4 and i think i dont sell it and buy the ace pro. The DJI is smaller on my motorcycle helmet and its comfortable to have a touch screen at the front. :)

[@Cameraflyer-]

The remote does not connect by Bluetooth. Bluetooth cannot transmit video.

[@PhillipSkraba]

That is odd, because it does connect via bluetooth, and bluetooth has enough speed to transmit sd video across a short distance, around 6-8m. Old bluetooth nah, but new bluetooth can hit 3mbps, enough for sd streaming.

[@LivandTrekGoCycling]

Hi, good video, thanks. New subscriber here..where in the UK has the cold shoe adaptor in stock please?

[@PhillipSkraba]

Welcome to the channel! That’s a hard one, I’d always try Amazon first, after that I’m lost as I have no idea what shops you guys have over there. I quit my job at Jessops in 2011 😂

[@CanadianSyed]

Excellent review. I have pretty all of them as I ordered them along with my unit straight from Ibsta360 after the launch. However I have few extra 3rd Party ones as well including corded magnetic chest mount rather than the front sling one which is more discreet and light with super strong magnetic plates, Lens guard covers, Selfie extandable stick specifically designed for Ace Pro, and the Steel cage is the best one. It not only provides protection but also gives you hot shoes on both sides. Got them.mostely from Ali Express and they are excellent and we're delivered within a week. Overall loving this camera along with my other ones.

[@PhillipSkraba]

You went shopping crazy! I picked up the cage from Aliexpress in case I want to throw it at stuff 🤘🏻

[@CanadianSyed]

@PhillipSkraba Yes this year decided to upgrade all my photography gear. Sold all of my DSLRs other than one that I use in my collab lab & switched to smaller gear. Now I can fit 5 cameras in a space where I could fit a single camera with lenses. But I am kind of liking it

[@PhillipSkraba]

I do like the smaller gear, I use my Sony ZV-E1 a lot as it's so small, that an the Ace Pro in my bag and I'm pretty happy.

[@QaxXxuZ]

Do you have a link for that Steel cage you got?

[@MiyagisRant]

Dude, that's a lot of accessories lol I want that Smart remote but it's $200 bucks! lol Wish they have a remote control app for the Garmin like they do for the Apple Watches. Great Review!

[@PhillipSkraba]

So many accessories, I'm crazy about camera accessories! Yes, it's got a hefty price tag, but it's so useful with the live preview on screen. The Apple watch app is great and works really well. Thank You!

[@Akash.Manandhar]

you didn't put the link to the cynovo screen protectors

[@PhillipSkraba]

Thanks for the heads up! - amzn.to/3S0KSU9

[@Rider_Kendari]

Is it true that this camera's focus is not good, and there are light reflections at night, please answer. Sorry if my writing is difficult to understand because I translated it from Indonesian.🙏

[@PhillipSkraba]

The focus is good, it's just set from 40cm and beyond, at night there are reflections on all action cameras.

[@djmagicvnov]

Привет бородатый друг , снимается ли крышка объектива на камере ?

[@PhillipSkraba]

It is not, no.

[@ksdfilm]

Sir please tell me real battery backup 1080 insta ace pro

[@PhillipSkraba]

It lasts a pretty long time!

[@Planet-ICELAND]

I just put 1tb in both my X3 and ACE Pro, Sandisk Extreme, cuz I record for a looong time

[@PhillipSkraba]

That's pretty bad ass. I fear using anything bigger than 256gb.

[@Planet-ICELAND]

@PhillipSkraba One is 3 years old and the other i bought this year, since nothing happened to the first one I was confident in buying another, I do upload to my PC regularely but i like having same videos in the camera too to show people.

[@AdamHreszczyk]

Tak kamera to na razie totalna padaka. Stabilizacja w słabszym oświetleniu nie działa, to znaczy daje przebłyski na krawędziach. Co mi po tym lowlight, jak ta kamera robi to dobrze tylko statycznie, a nie radzi sobie w zadaniu do którego jest stworzona. No i ten focus, który sprawia, że podnoszony ekran jest bez sensu, bo do vlogowania ta kamera się nie nadaje. Coraz bardziej się zbieram, żeby jednak ją zwrócić. No i sam obraz nie jest tak dobry jak w GoPro, pomimo dania szarpnesu na low.

[@PhillipSkraba]

W mojich testach stabilizacja jest najlepsza z wszystkich kamerkach akcji, nie ma lepszej. Focus, no z tym jest problem jak trzymasz kamerke blizej niz 40cm, Ja juz to ogarnelem bez filtrow i udaje mi sie ja trzymac w komfortowej odleglosci i byc caly czas w ostrosci. Jak dla mnie to ta kamerka jest super do vlogowaniu, trzeba po prostu jak z kazda kamerka ja wyczuc. Sharpness to tez mam na medium lub low, najbardziej hdr mi przeszkadza, ale zaraz niby ma byc update ktory daje nam opcje ja wylaczcyc.

[@AdamHreszczyk]

@@PhillipSkraba Ja często jeżdżę rowerem po zacienionych, leśnych zakamarkach i liczyłem, że stabilizacja i HDR mi to ogarną. Dodatkowo, opcja do chyba dodatkowej stabilizacji w słabym oświetleniu, non stop mi się sama wyłącza. Nie wiem czy to błąd akurat w mojej kamerze, czy po prostu oprogramowanie jest zwalone.

[@KonstantinGabriel1978]

Still waiting a bit untill I will make my purchase. What's keeping me from buying is the complaint of many about the over processing of the image .Other than that , I keep asking yself why the number of your subcribers is so low . The quality of the content is way above average ( my personal opinion)

[@PhillipSkraba]

I wouldn’t worry about that, the image is great, I don’t really notice any over-processing. Thanks, I’m humbled you think so!

[@tomevans7567]

I've been using the camera for a few weeks now. I think the people that are complaining about that probably have the sharpness level set to high. I set mine at medium or low and have had no problems with it. I'm very happy with it. Just my honest opinion though and others of course will have their own.

[@PhillipSkraba]

I set mine to low and I'm happy with the results too.

[@KonstantinGabriel1978]

What about long distance focus?

[@ricarmig]

I own the camera and you just need to set the color profile to flat and the sharpening to medium or low; then you'll be fine. I just use the normal color profile and sharpness at medium. It's great and you just notice the low light limitation if you compare to an OP3
