[@ZanderRound]

Both are great, for me though I just find myself using the ace pro more mainly because of the rugged design and weather proofing, check out my Amazon storefront where I have made more videos on other features on both of these cameras - www.amazon.com/shop/zanderround

[@Ninjadom]

Yeah that’s one thing. The Pocket 3 does seem delicate. It’s DJI’s third time doing a gimbal camera and they’ve got experience with gimbals, so maybe it’s not as delicate as we think. But in comparison to an all weather action camera it does seem delicate.

[@frank01709]

I chose the Pocket 3 after weeks of watching reviews and have absolutely no regrets in picking the pocket 3. The ease of use and image quality is awesome and I feel the Ace pro image looks too processed.

[@AlbertStewart]

3:10 The Pocket 3 doesn't have a mode labeled "HDR" but it does have an HLG color profile which IS HDR. If you take some unedited footage recorded in HLG from the Pocket 3 and upload it straight to KZbin, it'll be in HDR.

[@chongyulius]

Is this video available in 4K version? 1080p isn't good enough for image quality comparisons..

[@Ninjadom]

Hi Zander, just to note that the Pocket 3 does have HDR. It’s the HLG 10-bit colour profile. It’s correct HDR and will be recognised as HDR by other devices like monitors, iPhone etc.

[@sebastiantreloar6045]

I dont know if its the same sensor but for me having a dji mini 4pro already, I feel it makes sense to have the pocket 3 so all the footage has the same look to it.

[@tonycapil1022]

Is there a 4k version of the comparison because 1080p looks a bit horrendous 4k monitors when in fullscreen mode?

[@NiftyFiftyPhotographers]

Thanks for a great review. I love how you put footage from both cameras side by side. really helped with my decision making process, whilst I prefer the slightly more cinematic look of the footage from the Pocket 3, the other advantages of the Ace Pro (ruggedness, interchangeable battery, fov..) definitely out weigh this.

[@davidpoo66]

Hi, what about the Pro's facial tones and the exposed lense which is more susceptible to dsmage?😮 Great review, I verywellmay subscribe 😊

[@FrankJoseph911]

Thank you. Cheers, mate!

[@babyboy1971]

I have a GoPro 12 and I love it. I just got it for my bday. I must admit, though, I do want the pocket 3. And the insta ace pro looks great, especially in low light. I do notice that these action cams like GoPro and insta are over sharpened, especially on skin. Any thoughts on how to fix that?

[@stephendonkin5497]

Great review mate

[@JackHolding-rl8be]

Been watching a few of your videos and thought you sounded local to me just seen that confirmed when a shot of the the cross and the swan came up

[@anncleverley4721]

thank you for this, was going to get the DJI, but now i'll get the Insta. Thank you for such a brilliant take on both of them.

[@mailaandjames]

Can the pocket 3 simultaneously record different aspect ratio like the insta?

[@virtuositymakeup]

Good Day, which one takes better stills?

[@OrlandoPla]

If you are in an urban environment, POCKET 3 = MOST HAVE ..... blur background means faces, license plates and other things that may need an image release in USA because youtube videos are FOR PROFIT. I have a GoPro and have to make sure that nobody is behind me because everything is in perfect focus.

[@Valenciavisitors2]

can i record a long video about 90 min with high quality 4k60 with pocket 3 ?

[@myweblab]

Look at my AI WARP made with ace pro ! A creativity jump 🤣🤟 Thanks INSTA !!! And happy new year !! 🥳🤪

[@michaelfrymus]

Im looking for something to use for vlogging while hiking. Im leaning towards the Pocket 3. I had a GoPro and didn't like it. A few things I'm iffy with... - What if its raining, a light shower, or snowing? I cant use the Pocket 3? - How long do the batteries last? Id like to use it in below freezing weather (-10, -20, -30C) - Lav mic. I don't want to be using that all the time, would rather use built in mic.

[@anna_murawski]

I agree, I’m filming hikes/camping videos of me and my kids and dog. I currently shoot with the insta360 GO3. But I’m on the look for a second camera and initially wanted nothing but the osmo pocket 3. However, since using the GO 3regularly for a while now… I’m starting to realise the action cam features is necessary, albeit less sexy than pocket 3 features. I’ve needed to shoot 1 handed in rain, crossing rivers, I’ve placed it in trees to get shots of myself, I’ve dropped it a bunch of times and I think it’s great I’ve able to bring it along adventures on a lanyard around my neck 😂. I know the pocket 3 is a 1 handed device also, but getting it in and out of my pocket would need 2 hands because of the housing, having to put it back in its little case after every recording has got to be a faff. Also a bit annoying that I still have to store the housing in my pocket when filming. I really wanted the osmo because of the foreground/background separation, but actually I’ve managed to get accidental natural cute clips of my kids in the background on my GO3 and I’m grateful they haven’t been bokeh’d. Also, another thing I’ve thought is that because I’m hiking and travelling to all these different places, i want the environment included in the shots more often than I’m willing to admit. I think Zander is right, I think I’d worry about the osmo a lot more, and if I was to have both, when push comes shove, I’d just grab the ace pro over the osmo just in case it: rains, we go to the beach, we’re going in the sea, I need more battery life, we go somewhere where it would die if I dropped it etc etc. as much as I convince myself I can just bring all my cameras to have all scenarios covered, the reality is, I carry a lot of children’s crap, and the dog is on the lead, and the less camera equipment/accessories the better. But at the same time, the osmo is so cool 😂😅 if you got it in the end and can de-bunk any of my concerns, feel free to convince me to get it 😂 sorry that was a whole bunch of info you didn’t ask for but no one in my life has interest in photography/videography so I talk to people on KZbin instead 🤣

[@lg100]

Pocket 3 and action 4 is the perfect combo

[@nelsonngu]

Pocket 3 (for gimbal B-roll work so I don have to bring a large gimbal for my mirrorless camera) + Insta360 Go 3 (on my chest and weird places for different POV) + Insta360 X3 (used the extended poll and attacked to my backpack for 3rd person POV) + Sony a7IV & ZVE1 for better quality video work for me.

[@tapeoy]

When you said both videos looks great ¿?¿?¿?¿What¿? To my eyes, the results are so different. One is over sharpened, too orange, it has barrel distortion, and eve your face is not well focused.

[@ZanderRound]

Like I said, it’s my opinion when you use these cameras every day for me the Ace pro is just nicer to use, even if the image isn’t quite as pleasing

[@wilfredobalabis]

The Best honest Review comparison I have ever watch as of now. I've subscribe.

[@SFLfights]

Not that honest for me because he forgot lots of advantages of the pocket 3 ;)

[@TechieTard]

@@SFLfights Do you understand the definition of honest vs things not mentioned?

[@oliverstoys8411]

Both are different classification of camera, it is really down to personal application, for active rugged outdoor lifestyle goes to the ace pro (grab and record), for best video creativity (flexibility cinematography or standard video application, vlogging, urban travel, better image quality and much more) the Pocket 3 (recommended for equipment friendly user “prep, set and record”).

[@Silverbeardedsurfer]

Absolutely. I've ordered the Ace Pro and bike kit for mainly mountain biking.

[@dianaa8125]

the skin tones on the dji are much much better imo

[@kylemarsun]

Pocket 3 looks like trash. Soft image on his face and horrible outdoor video on the lake near the trees. It looks so doom and gloom!

[@patatinafritta84]

I agree, love the pocket 3 ! The image is “softer” and slightly brighter and looks more cinematic to me, if you will . I’m saving money and hopefully will purchase soon.

[@spirittravels.]

I've seen a few videos and the pocket 3 looks much better.

[@ZanderRound]

I agree but it really depends on where and how your using it and for me in the UK I feel much happier and more confident taking the ace pro outside

[@spirittravels.]

@@ZanderRound Yes. I can understand that, and I've watched a few videos and honestly the DJI action 4, seems to have the better image quality. I wish the Ace pro was better, because I really liked it at first.

[@Ninjadom]

DJI Action 4 and the Ace Pro both use the same exact image sensor. So images from both will look fairly similar. The differences will be in how each camera deals with the processing of the images.

[@cradle_n7515]

@@ZanderRound Or maybe it depends on the uploader like, if you want the other one stand out to the other one, you can make the other one less better! like what you did on this one!

[@SFLfights]

@@spirittravels. For me, the ace pro as a better image quality vs dji action, especially when there's less light.

[@MariusVirgilConstantin]

But why full hd in 2023? :(

[@amjad635pw]

Brilliant & Honest Anylysis Sir...Love From Pakistan 🇵🇰 Your Video Has Made Me Very Clear What Features Both Offers. Your Video Helped In Finalising Decision. I Will Go For Insta 360 Ace Pro.

[@scd6969]

oh man, how I hate that choppy movement of the cars at 2:15 on the pocket 3. Is that due to youtube or the camera? On smartphones, I see cameras try too hard to do too much at once and they can't do the one thing they're supposed to do well, which is take smooth video. This shows underpowered or unoptimized i/o. I concerned the pocket 3 might have this same issue with the choppy motion.

[@EternalMedia]

Pocket 3 is best as an indoor camera. Away from the elements. Very prone to blowing out in bright sunlight.

[@Slashingthrough]

Just use an ND filter no problem.

[@biggooseadventures]

Nice video, What I’ve noticed with the people who are using the ace, pro for Vlogging is in the evening time you can see the red flashing light from the front part of the camera on their face flashing is there anyway to turn that red light off?

[@JackHolding-rl8be]

Yes the status light can be turned off in the settings

[@biggooseadventures]

@@JackHolding-rl8be thank you

[@ricarmig]

Ace Pro: the best action cam (= weather and shock proof); Pocket 3: the best portable non action cam (= best image but much more sensible to damage) Both will do fine for most things but of course on the edge, one is better suit for some stuff, the other for other stuff. No conflicts.

[@Bad_n_Boujie]

Which one would u say is better for car content?

[@ZanderRound]

Ace pro definitely

[@MaximumDiver]

I really like your video comparison between the two! Thanks for sharing! But can you please put your Focus to MANUAL instead of Auto on your camera so it doesn't hunt back and forth? It's really annoying! Thanks! :)

[@ZanderRound]

Done 🫡

[@infiveg]

У этой экшен камеры 360, не очень хороший шлейф-провод от экрана в корпус. Почему ты его не показываешь?

[@lebedev.s]

Wtf. It is good cabel

[@madeinhungary]

1080p for comparison video? 4K is the standard....

[@Loxitane]

The over sharpening on the Ace is horrendous omg

[@SFLfights]

I think you can change the sharpening in settings.

[@AllemandInstable]

man, I'm so torn apart I do hear all the arguments about the insta360 pro, and I would like a nice small camera to complement my GH4 for vlogging for 3 years ( so better be durable ), but that image quality on the pocket 3 though, so outstanding for that size...

[@SFLfights]

I'm asking myself the same questions as I have a gh6. I think it really depend if you need to use it in bad weather conditions, underwater and extreme sports or not. Because if we simply look for the image quality, the pocket 3 is the best, especially when there's less light. The pocket 3 is more fragile but the lens of the Ace pro isn't removable. .I'm interested by both too but as I don't have a stabilizer with my gh6 because it's too big, i think i'll go with the pocket 3.

[@anthonyblend9917]

The image quality of the ace pro is far better as you can see in this video. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@mstuartkendall]

Why? Totally different cameras with different purposes. Intentional advantages and disadvantages! I tried using a pocket on my bicycle but unfortunately, it is not an action camera. Thanks anyway!

[@londenard]

Have you not read the manual for the Pocket 3? Almost everything you've said has a fix or a setting... You've basically said that the Ace Pro doesn't have any drawbacks and it's superior to the Pocket 3 in every way... As if the P3 doesn't possess any features the Ace Pro doesn't have....

[@P.Nut1164]

Pocket 3 is more fun to use....get creative shots.

[@ricarmig]

It depends. With the Ace Pro you can be relaxed because it is much more resistant, so you can do lots of things that you can’t with a pocket 3 (water, rain, sport, rollercoaster, …). With the Pocket 3 you can do calm creative shots (bokeh, gimbal automatic movement). The best would be able to have both.

[@SFLfights]

@@ricarmig Exactly, they are complementary

[@SteveWB]

Why don't you use face tracking and set your gimbal speed? Ace pro is way too sharp and over saturated

[@anthonyblend9917]

because the ace pro is a better choice. 🤷🏻‍♂️ The image quality is outstanding.

[@FadGadget1]

Show me the gimbal set up for the Ace pro as there lie’s the rub of the green. A true comparison should have been between the DJI action 4 and the insta Ace Pro. This is an unfair comparison due to the ease of use. 99% of vlogging is close up filming through city streets etc.

[@PoladAbbasov-ev8bw]

Pocket 3 more natural color ..👍

[@kylemarsun]

No one cares about that when you're vlogging. I much rather see a bright clear video vs some gloomy bokah bs.

[@anna_murawski]

OP3 or Ace Pro. This is the ultimate mental battle I am currently facing 🤣😭

[@norgerichard]

Pocket 3 is far better for Vlogging, have better bokeh and more natural. Pocket 3 have 10 bit, that makes it much better for post production. But for action, Insta360 is better

[@zpablospb1]

[@victorlin4645]

Your face is out of focus in all of the Ace Pro handheld vlogging shots, so that's an InstaFail.

[@Slashingthrough]

Stop making out that the Pocket 3 is a damn action camera... Sorry but it is just a dumb comparison. Next to that pocket 3 has enough things onboard to go into your complaints. Complaining about battery changes but in the end the ace doesn't come with any extra batteries...

[@ZanderRound]

It’s two options people are looking at buying, this is more of a review of my user experience over the last month

[@JimiCeleste]

Great review as always. I have both of them and they are different tools in the toolbox. I like setting the pocket 3 down and the face tracking will follow me as I vlog. The Ace Pro is great because of the editing you can do with the 360 app. One question, how do you get the Ace Pro to see the DJI mic 2? The bluetooth in my camera doesn't recognize it. Thanks again for all the content you put up on KZbin.

[@Valenciavisitors2]

can i record a long video about 90 min with high quality 4k60 with pocket 3 ?

[@blaisecarver]

I have both. This review is not fair, not honest at all. Didn't mention the features what only pocket 3 can do only the disadvantages. In low light acepro so much worst than pocket 3. Unusable. Better in low light than the terrible gopro but pocket 3 is far better. Also "forgott" to mention that for vlogging acepro is not good choice because its minimal focus distance is too big. You need to use it with extended arm. Pocket 3 is great in this. So I guess it is an insta360 paid advertisment.

[@ZanderRound]

Fair points, totally disagree with all of them 👍

[@Suparnadatta318]

​@@ZanderRound this video looked like an ad video of Insta360

[@dantemclalla2804]

Ace pro is for sure nicer and safer to use whatever the weather but if the goal is image quality the 1-inch sensor makes all the difference. Same happens when comparing insta360 X3 vs Insta360 Rs 1-inch: the first is nicer to use but the latter is way better in terms of quality due the 1-inch sensor. In video/photography the size of the sensor still matters...

[@Calvin.The.Unfindable]

some very interesting thoughts there. i would say the ace pro looks amazing, and that low light is phenomenal. considering we have so many months of grey and very low light, that is a big plus, i like the idea you can pause the recording then start, or combine clips - how easy is that? a tutorial on combining/pausing clips and exporting to our editing software would be cool - cos you do tutorials so well.

[@ricarmig]

I have one and it’s very easy: - you pause and keep recording as on Android phones - you can the AI select the highlights or manually and then you can cut and export the highlights as a combined movie - the insta360 software (I use it on my iPhone 15 Pro Max) is fabulous!!! A free edit suit! And with the iPhone 15 Pro chip…wow super fast! I would even say that an Adobe Premiere Pro would take 5x longer on a much more powerful hardware to do the same vi (yes, I hate Adobe software)

[@ricarmig]

@@bzdishekzapadlovskythe Ace Pro allows you to do it internally if you want just the highlights on a video. But if you want to cut and join different files, then you have to use other software.

[@ricarmig]

@@bzdishekzapadlovsky for the same reason laptop and desktop sales have been declining: controls on smartphones and tablets have improved greatly so I don’t need for personal private videos to edit them on a PC. If I can afford a iPhone 15 Pro Max, it’s very unlikely that I can’t afford a PC.

[@ricarmig]

@@bzdishekzapadlovsky why would I do such a thing? Anyone doing any cut and paste will have lousy sound and joining points. The best to do is to edit them on a software that handles all formats. Cut, join, transitions, soundtrack, drive

[@ZanderRound]

Yes mate video coming soon, the editing tool in camera is more geared towards saving space on your storage, it allows you to save clips within a clip and either export them individually or as a merged clip, what you do with them after that is entirely up to you. I’ll be doing that video hopefully before Christmas, thanks mate 👌

[@mlm00300]

yes, agreed, I love Ace Pro all focus shot and also it shows more clarity too on grass patches and clouds, the colour may be over saturated compared to Pocket 3, I love its ease of use in video recording I supposed Ace pro the steadyflow produces more steady video short vs the mechanically driven gimbal in Pocket 3, good if we have a comparison on that. share if you have done so. Ace Pro is proven to be a better buy and maintaince for the replacable battery, water proof feature etc.., less fragile.. thanks for your great presentation, very informative.

[@kylemarsun]

Pocket 3 looks too soft of image. Ace pro wins.

[@DannyFyffe]

I am a dji hater and I must say the Pocket 3 video looked better in almost all situations you were in and the shadows on your face and sky were better than the Insta. I understand your choice overall and yes, the Insta, like GoPro will take a beating and work well. So if you compromise a bit on the quality of the pic, then you made the right choice. I don't have either camera so I have no dog in this fight.
