Insta360 Ace Pro vs GoPro 12!

[@insta360]

We appreciate your honesty Ben 😎 We're stoked with the low light performance of Ace. You really put it through its paces!

[@AuthenTech]

Thanks so much! It's a fantastic action camera with some really fun unique features. I was talking with my creator friends who have one and they really like it too 👌

[@josesilva-nd9jp]

@isnta360 por que no hicieron la cubierta de lente extraible 😫

[@stevenkeating5232]

What’s the low light of the insta Ace? As these are actually more similar price to the GoPro 🤔 keep things fair, if I spend £100 more I expect it to beat the GoPro obviously

[@tgchan]

bigger sensor, better dynamic range, better low light + rugdedness = win/ 1080p is enough/

[@sony-hq3uz]

I hope you guys make changeable lenses in new ace pro 😃

[@germantoroshniak5039]

As soon as the sun goes down the gopro turns into a Nokia 3310

[@Reactivelight]

Have a Hero 12, tempted by Ace Pro mostly for the low light capability. But that non-removable lens cover is an absolute deal breaker. I don't want to have to baby my camera while I'm on the go. It's really annoying, because I have both an Insta360 X3 (which has replaced my GoPro MAX) and a GO 3 (for use as a discreet life logger while I'm out & about) and I love the Insta360 software environment. Insta360, get your act together on your action camera!!

[@vedataslan6121]

lens cover is removable. and you can do this by yourself but after you remove the lenscover it can get moisture inside and that can cause fog under water. you must do in dry air.

[@alrizo1115]

Lens cover removable. It's glued that's why it's hard to twist. There's a tool you can purchase to do the job together with a lens cover replacement

[@simpleclipz]

What would you recommend for motor vlogs insta 360 x4 or ace pro

[@star0dust8]

@@simpleclipzwell the video says that the gopro has a better video stabilization so

[@JoeL-td9bx]

Yo, def the Insta360!! The low-light image is insane. Can't wait to get one.❤

[@akayumi768]

A flip screen is a game-changer! It seems perfect for checking the shots.

[@AuthenTech]

It's super cool. It's been really helpful for tilting up in particular angles that would normally be more difficult to see the screen. It's also clever design has those two little locks that secure it to the back to prevent rattling or accidental flip-ups

[@JakeOski]

@@AuthenTechyeah but couple of decent wipeouts and it’ll definitely get shredded - that is if someone dares to use it for actual action with that permanent lens cover 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@SandraC.Webster]

That low light comparison is very convincing!

[@JakeOski]

Honest review dude, nice one 🤘🏻 Everyone else seems to be overhyped with their gifted cameras :)

[@TheGrafforlov]

I paused the video at the beginning when Ben was removing a plastic protection from the lens cover and that is what it said on the plastic : " Tighten the lens guard before using Ace in water" , it means to me that lens guard is removeable

[@martind.5257]

Nice observation 👍🏼

[@PaulCoatesTrailRunning]

I upgraded my GoPro 11 to ace pro. Big mistake. My ace pro stabilisation doesn’t work. I have run 3 ultra marathons with it and it’s like an old GoPro 6. Insta have been very unhelpful. They said I had to pay to return it to Hong Kong. They said editing software will help. I advised them it is sold as an action camera with stability. I have been talking to them for over a week and they have been so unhelpful and won’t admit my camera is a dud.

[@StefanusWijayanto-w1e]

Yep its true, i sold it too

[@justvibesmuziq8459]

GoPro still beating them I got the ace it’s cool but video quality the GoPro is better and more natural

[@JosephActivate]

Ben is one of your go to whenever a new tech is released. Superb review! I hope they would also integrate this on the insta360 X series

[@AuthenTech]

Thanks so much, I really appreciate that. And I think you're spot on, if some of those new features come on the new X4, that would be incredible

[@CarSceneKorea]

Curious about the heat, duration of continuous shot in minutes w/ over 4K resolution before shutting down(if it does) and wireless mic supported?

[@itsherCyy]

hey..... the image quality out of that sensor is stunning 😍 with the low light, underwater.... have to say this product can't provide more

[@AuthenTech]

It is! I was sad I didn't have enough time to shoot more low light samples, but I'll keep using and testing it in difficult situations to see how it holds up

[@daveinportland]

Thank you for answering about the glass not being replaceable. It's an action camera. This is the reason I won't be purchasing it. Appreciate the review & information.

[@WorkItJ216]

I agree it’s not about the specs anymore it’s about your personal preference. Similar to choosing between Apple or Android. I like the attention to details/little things Insta360 does and their app, in my opinion, is the best in the game. As always great review!!!

[@ThinLineMedia]

It is about specs when it comes to low light or ability to zoom on the sensor. In this regard Insta360 kills the GoPro. GoPro's low light video is barely usable.

[@acemannw]

Really appreciated the better sound of 360. GoPros have had trash sound for a long time.

[@matthewberry2329]

but it was muffled

[@zulupenman]

Low light quality is not a dealbreaker for me I hardly ever film it lowlight I want action daytime 4K sharp crystal clear GoPro does it for me perfectly plus removable lens and the media mod ft. - awesome microphone windbreak for my electric skateboarding reviews... well done great review great breakdown ... but guys... don't get over hyped by the flip screen in the low light superiority... Ap

[@Banner16]

I use the GoPro Hero9 and I usually only use it during the day and it looks great. I also really love the Gopro UI.

[@JustinPulitzerTrades]

Would love to see the Ace Pro up against the Action 4. Also, can the Ace Pro work with the DJI mics w/ that USB-C port? I assume it can work with the Mic 2 via Bluetooth though.

[@ZotmundSzele]

No matter which part of the video I watched, the Insta360 AcePro looked better. I'd upgrade my 1st gen DJI Action and now Insta360 implemented Garmin integration which is just great. You can add your activity as a dashboard to the video.

[@shanobd2]

Which one is better sir😊

[@wimsmedia]

Bummer... look like GoPro still has the edge... The lens cover is vital. good video.

[@kee7678]

Ben you're exactly right. It's about which is the most enjoyable to use at the end of the day, in 2024.

[@LW-ry7vp]

How are the screen hinges? Also does the screen look like it could stand a drop or crack like a phone would. Thank you.

[@lexsee8267]

Wow Ben, another great review! The new camera looks amazing!! love the AI highlight editing feature, gonna save me tons of time. Where's my credit card... 😈

[@AuthenTech]

Thanks so much for watching

[@inifilmbagus]

I like that ACE Pro!! 😊✌️ and nice Ai editing

[@AuthenTech]

I'm exciting to keep experimenting with that AI editing, I think there's a lot of fun potential there

[@brunooka]

Thank God we have competition in the action camera market today. When I had the GoPro Hero 5 Black, I worked very well in the beginning, but it started to show a few issues after 2 years, and GoPro customer service simply didn't work for me in Brazil. I couldn't connect to my phone anymore, the camera was taking a lot of time to tun off and I noticed a tiny vapor inside the lens (which disappeared after some time). I was really really wishing for new companies to spice things up, and now I'm really interested in insta360, specially the Go S3 which is a very tiny camera

[@KeliK1]

The AI editing part with the ACE Pro is a really nice touch! The rendering is mind-blowing!!! The Hero 12's image quality in good light looks overall better but I think a little brightness and contrast added to ACE Pro "raw" image would improve the quality. I am going with the ACE Pro.

[@ChasingtheSunVlog]

Great review Ben! Did you test how quickly each camera starts recording with their One Touch record feature?

[@TineyGrouse]

If you don't care about how the GoPro tends to bend image and don't really want to do much low light I'd go with GoPro to be honest and wait for another generation of the ace pro before switching. I just got a GoPro and it's super simple to use and feels tough I'd like to see how the folding screen holds up with some abuse or after drops with it open

[@lucianrajah]

I don't think I'd be trading my One R in anytime soon for an Ace camera. I hope the Ace and Ace Pro aren't replacing the One RS as the main uspide (for me) is the modular system.

[@EyeCanShootFL]

Oooof! YOU are the only one to show that they don't have a removable lens cover like gopro. THAT plus the GPS not being included is a deal breaker! 7 other reviews I watched, none of the bought and paid for reviewers shared that. That is huge! That is as bad as a 5.7k 360 camera in 2023.

[@bruceskousen5451]

Uh, the GoPro 12 doesn’t have GPS either…

[@mafyzd]

​@@bruceskousen5451that is why we still have GoPro11 ;) On GP12 they removed it to save on battery, or better say prolong battery time. So in end GoPro11 is still the most ACTION cam, while all newer, including this INSTA360 ACEs may be kind of FUN, and not so really ACTION Cams!!!

[@teofilol2666]

GoPro software problems are a deal breaker for me 😅. I just need a camera which just works.

[@EyeCanShootFL]

@@bruceskousen5451 no sh..Sherlock. But the 11 does.

[@EyeCanShootFL]

@@teofilol2666 I’m w you. But I can deal w those issues. Don’t like it, but will deal. Thing is, a scuff on the screen doesn’t render the camera useless for life. A 600.00 paper weight. Think about how much sense they makes.

[@BassManStrikes]

The external mic support is better (if it works well) on the Ace pro and it's adapter is only 19 bucks and allows USB C power passthru. Can't do that alt all with the action 4 and the gopro mic dongle is 50 bucks.

[@dragomiradrian8194]

Action 4 has support for external microphones without adaptors. I use Rode me mic with my Action 4, no problems.

[@tush_2870]

Where is the comparison video with action 4 ?we need that. Go pro is never even considered.

[@thedrivebygg]

Thanks for the review, certainly made my choice more difficult, although the Insta might be the one due to low light gains which should help in car filming and the larger screen.

[@ItzSi]

I still have the hero 8 but I would to try the Ace pro for kungfu and parkour stuff my only issue is the non removable lens ….bummer… still it looks dope 👌🏼

[@kee7678]

Great review Ben. I think GoPro has better I.Q....and Insta Ace Pro has better software, A.I. and U.I. and far better low light performance. God bless!

[@AuthenTech]

Thanks for the comment and watching. I apologize, what do you mean by, "better I.Q" ?

[@kee7678]

oh sorry. Image Quality. In radiology and data for diagnostic imaging etc etc etc....we we call it "I.Q". Image Quality...@@AuthenTech

[@jacksonhannibal9795]

The stabilizer from Gopro is much better, it does everything for an action camera. DJI is also far ahead of GoPro and Insta 360 when it comes to stabilizer. So my top 1 Gopro, 2 Insta, 3 DJI

[@henriettethiim]

Looks amazing, but non-removable lense is a no-go! Too bad on a camera where it seems everything else makes sense!

[@sreejithtechpro9630]

I love to see your reviews,,because you are honest in reviewing 🥰lots of love from India ❤❤

[@AuthenTech]

Thanks so much for stopping by

[@stefanomarini6057]

Hi, if I activate clarity zoom and turn off the cam, does it remain set when you activate recording with quick capture?

[@tkalyvas]

Great video as always !! Thanks for sharing ! Also i would like to say something.... in the early days gopro didnt have removable lens... and no-one had any problems... now everyone wants a removable lens cause "they r afraid" if something will happened to the new cameras? I dont believe that insta 360 didnt chack the reliability of the lens in a drop. Keep.up man!!

[@monche08]

Haz una comparación VS DJI Osmo 4. Great video 🤟🏻

[@Stef_Art]

Nope. Keep my action 3 and get pocket 3. Thanks for your review.👍

[@AuthenTech]

How are you liking Pocket 3 so far? It seems really cool

[@Stef_Art]

Its hard to believe but its replacing my fx30 90% of times. Im using resolve studio and the log profile on the pocket is no near to 360 ace pro. But for someone who needs a new action, I think 360 ace pro is a good choice if u dont care scratching the lens.

[@Ojix_Begins]

Untuk Ultra Wide lebih bagus GoPro. 👍 Untuk Low Light Lebih Bagus Insta360 Ace pro. 👍 Kembali ke selera Masing-masing😊 Salam Subcriber baru dari Indonesia🙏

[@biggooseadventures]

Nice video. Do you think this camera is worth it if you want it for low light vlogging?

[@MyDreamLife]

Same form factor with Auto-Focus camera would ma a perfect vlogging camera.

[@allenmovies]

Disappointed it doesn't have a removable lens. Otherwise it looks great! Does it have an HDMI out?

[@JESSROCKEDChannel]

will wait for ACE PRO 2 😅

[@RyanWRoehlAKZoomberBoomer]

Authen Tech what is the Best Camera for Alaska? Action, Vlogs, Etc

[@KITTRacing]

Ya, the lens needs to be replaceable especially for the price but it’s a nice camera.

[@AuthenTech]

I wonder if majority of people will care about that lens cover? Some people shoot action sports, others use it for simple vlogging/family shots, and might not think twice about it

[@KITTRacing]

@@AuthenTech Very true. I’m sure they did their homework and to most it’s not a big deal.

[@DarkStoneCastle]

⁠@@AuthenTechYeah, I sure wouldn’t think twice about it. I’ve never scratched a lens in my life on any camera.

[@JT7POV]

minutes 7:10 when you are on the bike are both at maximum FOV? with the wide angle at maximum both? because gopro seems to have a much larger wide angle than the ace pro... I know that the acepro has a 155 degrees, while gopro?

[@89Trashmaster]

Why are GoPro details are so much better? Just of the 1K more?

[@anthonyhershko]

Amazing video!! I must switch from Gopro 10 to the Insta360 Ace Pro, I hope the video quality will be better. (In my case, I only place ot on the top of my Canon R5 for record).

[@CoyoteOne]

As someone who rocks and X3 and a GoPro Hero 8 at the same time. I am tempted to get the Ace pro so I can streamline my editing but having no GPS these days really sucks for airsports.

[@hristinacholakova5705]

Hello, what do you think about the cameras. which one is the most appropriate to photograph a tennis match on a court go pro or insta 360. and is it generally appropriate to use action cameras to make such recordings. will they be able to photograph the whole court. Thank you.

[@dpierre]

Hello, Thank you for this interesting test! I would like to clarify some-thing that you left out about action cams with fixed lens protection like the Hero8 (which I still have 😉). Everyone who bought the 9, 10... lost a lot of money because water had entered through the lens after a light rain and their Gopro was dead! So it makes me laugh to argue about possible scratches because I have very light ones and frankly, it doesn't change an-ything. In addition, we have been waiting for so long for an actionCam that is like the famous Sony Action Cams (with their mechanical stabilization, they were the best), so this is already an essential point in low light and high contrast for the Insta360 Ace Pro.

[@nammavillagelife]

What about battery life of both these cameras?

[@oneworldvideo]

Is the lens hydrophobic like the ones from DJI & GoPro?

[@BlackIjs]

That is some good GoPro footage, but overall I prefer the Ace Pro for features and night shooting.

[@racesuey]

6:23 I don't know, Gopro seems to be clearer, sharper and have much better DR? I hate when these review KZbinrs say things to retain better relationship with manufacturers. If you actually believed in what you said you could have done pause and punch in like 3:37 smh

[@TimesofSuvhu]

This man deserves millions subscribers

[@rwhite1357]

Thanks for the objective review Ben! I have a GoPro 11 ( and a 5,6,7,8,10 lol) I was tempted to try the Ace but now thinking I'll wait and see if they make any mods on the next version, like removeable lens. Looks likr a great camera, especially the low light performance.

[@seb-depp]

Always good to have new respectable competition especially as some (G...) seem to have stopped to innovate. Still as an fpv pilot I'd get the GoPro because of the awesome ReelSteady results and workflow with 5.3K.

[@dgutie8]

Great review! Can’t wait to try it!

[@chriscaliente5033]

Every one talks about the clarity of cameras but how does the new insta360 Ace operate in hot temperatures?

[@Cookiepower16]

I hope gopro will fix low light somedays. I use gopro since the HD 720p and i would switch to insta for better low light, but i prefer the stabilisation of the gopro

[@hhxzje]

Can't wait to take this!!! Can't wait to see the difference on that image quality.

[@jeanmarcmollie5713]

Hi from France. Thanks for this video, I will choose the Insta360 Ace Pro 👍

[@bootson_au]

No mention of any temperature issues? The GoPros have been plagued by overheating and shutting down in cold weather with the more recent models, including my hero 10. A bit bummed you didn't cover this big GoPro problem, or if it even was an issue with the Ace Pro.

[@linli1698]

Can’t agree more!!! Both my gopro 7 hero and 11 overheat like crazy. I live in Northern Ireland and the average temperature in summer is like 19 degrees. And they still over heat like crazy

[@JustinPulitzerTrades]

Do you think Insta360 will update their focus issue to help with closer vlogging in a firmware update or will they wait to fix this in the Ace Pro 2.0?

[@radityawaliulu]

[@AuthenTech]

[@richardpalmer4594]

For me image quality is everything, the GoPro seemed slightly sharper. Ace pro flip screen and low light capabilities are nice.

[@kjc83]

The whole time I was watching this I couldn't believe I'd gone and bought the DJI A4 a couple months ago. What an idiot I am! Then the low light shots... urghh.. why me?!? Then you said it... the non-replaceable lens. What a fail from Insta360 and a total deal-breaker for me. It also stinks from both DJI and Insta360 that they haven't got a 1/4 screw mount hole as standard. I'm also not convinced that screen would fare well if you dropped the camera and it was flipped up at the time. Just seems more like a gimmick camera than an action one. So glad I went with my DJI A4 now!!!

[@Coli272]

buddy you are not alone - the Ace Pro just „looks“ like an Action camera but everyone that is not fooled by the low light capabilities (ask yourself how many times you even film in low light) should instantly see it is a VLOGGING camera, just like the insta360 X3 and the DJI Pocket 3…

[@chriscaliente5033]

Go pro cameras run hot then shut off after start recording, does the insta360 Ace has a tendency of shutting down in the middle of recording because of the temperature?

[@trivacker]

Wish you can review the new Insta360 GPS Preview Remote, especially the "remote wake" function and the number of Insta360 cameras that can be paired with it.

[@boiaan]

Pretty sure gopro will release a detachable screen with usbc like the light mod but a screen, i dont like the magnet attaching cause its just way too insecure, gopro has a way bigger selection of accessories (if insta360 has one), but i prefer the low light however i wont shoot in low light much soooo. also if i wanted to i can get the light mod. and gopro looks finer tbh. Cant wait to get a hero 12 with head strap, the handler, extra battery
