Insta360 Ace Pro vs Nikon Z30: Pros & Cons of BOTH

Insta360 Ace Pro is surprisingly bad for vlogging. It can be great for moto vlogging or biking where you show the world due to it's focus on infinity rather than any subject near the camera. Nikon Z30 was designed for vlogging, but is very underwhelming in specs. Which is actually better for casual vlogs? Action cam vs mirrorless.

I know it's hard to admit, but the Pocket 3 is the deal. The gimbal is what makes it cool.

[@OFFROADOVERDRIVE]

It has great Image quality, I wanted to buy it but this is a action cam and we adrenaline junkies need Waterproof capabilities and durability

[@tech-utuber2219]

The take-away for me from these recent videos is that specifications alone will not tell you important things about a camera system you are considering purchasing. You have to try it out as Kasey has discovered with the excellent Nikon auto-exposing functionality evident in these clips. It is a pleasant surprise to see what can be gained by instructing software engineers to optimize for our faces. We see a good balance of skin tone and various lighting conditions. Congratulations to Nikon getting it right.

[@Video-tu4vn]

For vlogging, the Pocket 3 would still be my preferred option. Yes, it has shortfalls, but as a complete package, I cant think of a better option.

[@KikoPL]

I got my Nikon Z30 with the content creator kit and the two kit lens 16-50 and 50-250. The 50-250 is better than I expected it would be with a lot of range. So it's really a great all around setup

[@SixHexSix]

I never thought i would even hear you ever talk about Nikon, let alone start using one regularly. I do videography for events and music festivals and I am the only one I have ever seen using Nikon on the video side of things. Lots of photographers use Nikon, but none for video. So, the other video people will look at me like I am crazy, or stupid, or even call me crazy, or stupid for doing video work with Nikon cameras. I started with Nikon and am brand loyal. I don't want all the issues of switching like always wondering if i had, or had not switched, if this or that would be better or worse, ect. I think Nikon lenses are the best and my footage just looks good, I don't do any color grading or color correction, either. Thanks for throwing some love in the Nikon direction.

[@ScottJWaldron]

Nice job on the video. That Insta360 footage does look really rough in that side-by-side. The Z30 is generally a decent camera and does look good here, but I do a lot of longer recordings so I'm disappointed with mine overheating indoors at 4k even only doing HDMI out with a DC coupler instead of a battery (I use it with a Ninja V). For vlogging in clips under 35 minutes, depending on the weather, it would be fine for people. 1080p so far in my testing hasn't had the same issue but don't really want to use 1080p much. I'm fine with vlogging style footage from the GoPro9 that I have but its a smaller sensor. It also has a smaller aperture. I usually use it with the max lens mod so might help out further though it uses a portion of the sensor to do horizon leveling so definitely not great in low light.

[@yawningmarmot]

Both Sony and the newer Panasonics have a Face Metering setting, I think it's even on by default on ZV-1, ZV-10 and so on.

[@NetvoTV]

If I want to film marathon with head pov, should I get GoPro or DJI Action 4? Pocket 3 is not easy to attach? I want to move my watch in front of it to record the datas at the start and stop points too

[@stunnerlife3288]

some cameras (I know gopro) have built-in technical telemetry things that you how fast you are going/location. TBH anything lighter or smaller would work better. If you also wanna do other things like under water or film other things than something with more features would fit your bill. Screen mic jack, but for only keeping track of your jog than small or lighter is better.

[@TheCreatorsBlock]

I honestly think you need to get the Osmo Pocket 3! It’s literally the perfect vlogging camera. I know you don’t like wireless microphones but if you can plug one in I think you’d be surprised just how good it is,

[@crazyivan0v]

An honest question. A vlog puts the person in the story vs the Insta puts the person in the background? Not sure I’m conveying what I’m seeing. In vlogging you’re the center. But with the Insta it’s emphasizing how big the world is, how large the adventure is? I’m honestly trying to understand if this camera is doing what it’s intended to do and doing it well. Would you disagree?

[@MtnXfreeride]

[@Solarys_the_one]

i have no clue about cams, but i enjoyd this alot. thx!

[@TheStorytellingDad]

The Ace360 8K 24p was finally nice and pleasant. Colors were a bit off and over saturated, but that was the best action cam look I’ve seen on your channel. The GoPro 12 is a really close second but the DJI Pocket 3 still takes the cake for newer cameras, and the X3000 is starting to look a bit dated,(although no one would know if you didn’t tell them). I’m interested to see what Nikon is doing with their new cameras, the Z9 is amazing.

Why do the pocket and action cams always expose for the sky???

[@jemadv1594]

We use action cam for off road UTV tours avg. speeds 30 km on trails. We need the long focus vs arm length. Also, tree canopy shadows are very challenging for standard DSLR. Imagine if a company created products for arms length use only. Your funny ❤

You need to review the pocket 3 already…

[@bensimpson9175]

I have an old Sony AS300 and I like the footage, but like you said in another comment section, gotta get the big big resolution numbers to have something decent after KZbin takes a bite. I'm a motorcycle riding instructor and "need" (ish) to expand to motovlogging. Plenty of motovloggers out there with a good product, but I know they're spending hours in post. Maybe they enjoy it. I don't have the time or interest to really delve into editing. I want to keep it simple. I'm choosing the Nikon on a tripod, recording slow speed riding drills in a parking lot. Dunno what I'll do about motovlogging.

[@cameraconspiracies]

Ace Pro is great for moto vlogs.

[@bastian.michel]

[@HillPhantom]

Thanks for keeping it real and not selling out bruv! Appreciate it.

[@JustinPulitzerTrades]

BTW Would love to see a Pocket 3 review.

[@charliejg]

Questions: What percentage of viewers actually notice that focus issue with the action cameras? I for one definitely want to see your surroundings as you walk and run the streets and nature paths. Is this an issue with manufacturer's perception of the size of the market and lack of potential profit? It's too bad this is an issue because it would be far better to walk around with some small and compact rather than a mirrorless body. Oh well.... Have a great week.

[@cameraconspiracies]

I notice it, and that's what matters. If I'm disappointed in the footage, it demotivates me to use the camera.

[@Jonasegway]

I sure as hell don't notice it. My opinion says the creativity exceeds small hardware flaws. If your video is fun and interesting, NO ONE will notice close range blurriness. Hell.....I haven't even noticed it with my Action 3 until people started mentioning it. Critiquing it is good because it brings attention to the manufacturers to give us a more refined product for the money they require us to spend on their product(s). Hell....I am watching this video in 420p. I think most people who watch these videos don't even watch them in 4k. Hell...alot of my videos are recorded in 2.7k and most in 1080p. We get caught up in all of these resolution specs and so on and don't even necessarily need them depending on the type of content you create.

[@igelkotte]

It's VERY obvious for me at least. It wouldn't be a problem if they just included a close focusing filter. But that they just ignore it and have ads with people vloggin with it is just hilarious

[@bensimpson9175]

I notice it. And he is talking about vlogging. It could be a fun drinking game, shots when he says "vlogging". What is vlogging about...? A talking face. Talking face out of focus...? Game over.

[@bonerici]

nobody notices it but it's unacceptable if the youtuber notices it. I think we have all been there, we make a fantastic video, it gets some views, then you notice a terrible flaw. There's a 3 second section where the slow motion was done wrong and it looks jerky. You take it down fix the error, reupload and everyone asks "Why did you re-upload? It's the EXACT same." And you go, "No it isn't. I had to fix it." Just how it is. If the youtuber can notice it, these flaws become unbearable when you are editing. The viewers? They can barely tie their shoes, of course they don't notice minor focus issues.

[@tommyli8726]

the pocket 3 blur the background and that is bad. What is the point for vlogging outdoor with blur background ?..when you talk to the camera and tell your viewers " look behind me or see the beautiful view behind " OMSO POCKET 3 blur all.. what viewers can see ?

Yes you low key really like that AcePro. You're struggling to admit it but you do

[@nishagrg.1329]

Omg is this not for vlog? Ace pro?? Which should i buy for vlog?

[@SixSideDice]

I think the Z30 looks better, but I suppose the Insta is trying to evaluate the whole scene with multi-metering, and with a wide focal length that means there is a lot to compensate for (sky, ground, white backgrounds, dark backgrounds...) It wouldn't make sense exposing for the face and having highlights and shadows clipping and exposure changing willy-nilly. The Z30 has a closer focal length and less to compensate for, but the sky is in fact clipping.

[@shaananwalsh7513]

Then they shouldn’t advertise it as an vlogging camera like they do. It can’t even focus on his face.

[@mostlyboring]

The Z30 makes use of Nikon's considerable experience and database of scenes to evaluate the scene. It's also in matrix metering, which is what you're calling multi metering. There's no way insta is winning this metering competition. The sky is indeed clipped but the scene is metering correctly because it's correctly detected the subject to be the person...

[@giannagiavelli5098]

Instant doesn't look in focus even at 20 feet out on that huge tripod thingy that's crazy

[@hoaiminh1413]

[@NickedOff]

Sony X3000 FTW! Insta360 doesnt look THAT bad but could certainly use the 3+ diopter filter to compensate the focusing distance (i agree, camera should come with that/those filters). Still more stabilization than nikon. I think AI features will eventually fully surpass manual/optical quality. Embrace the fakeness and hyperreality! I sold more saturated samsung tvs on vivid color at best buy than natural looking tvs anyway...

[@QuicknStraight]

Not sure what the problem is. My One RS with the 1-inch core has a minimum focus distance of 90cm. My arm is longer than 90cm. It's hardly a major problem extending a human arm 90cm unless you are a very small human. At arm's length, you weren't properly in ficus on the Z30. According to the Ace Pro specs, minimum focus distance should be 40cm.

[@audioupgrades]

No. Action cams have fixed focus and small apertures. That means that objects will get softer the closer they are to the lens. The minimum focus distance in the manual is just an opinion on the distance when the object become unacceptably soft.

[@cameraconspiracies]

The spec sheet is wrong, that's the point. They are false advertising. One RS is never in focus. Z30 had proper focus the whole video, what are you talking about?

[@QuicknStraight]

@@audioupgrades Don't be daft. They test and measure it when they're developing it.

[@QuicknStraight]

@@cameraconspiracies The Z30 was not properly focused most of the time, unless you're going for a blurry look? The One RS focuses pretty well, even within 40cm of the lens. I have shot a ton of video with mine, with the 4K Boost lens and the 1-inch mod, and it's very sharp.

[@dalemonaghan]

I have the ZFC that I got coz the video is so much better than my m50. Didn't need some bullshit spec sheet to show me. Just real obvious. Thing about Nikon apsc is that they have the zoom range finally covered now with the 4 kit lenses. Their kit lenses are actually better than anyone elses kit lenses also especially the 16-50. They finally have a 24mm prime that is good at 1.7 toneys. Sigma and Vitrox make primes for all the other ranges. Nikon keeps updating firmware to improve autofocus etc and seem to care more than Canon. Even though the z50 andz30 and zfc are the same, it actually makes sense that if they improve firmware for one, the rest eventually get it plus the old z50, if you want evf and memory settings and more photo focuses is still relevant even today because of the continued commitment. Spec obsessed ppl say that 20 mega pixels is less than Canon but somehow it still looks clearer and more importantly way better in low light. Very happy to stick with Nikon especially after Canon burned me with ditching th M range. They may be boring but it's evolution not revolution wih them. Re. the zfc just get the smallrig grip and re stabe for vlogging just get a wide prime and a gimbal for the z30. Done!

[@audioupgrades]

Autofocus is anathema to action cams for two reasons. First, the camera wouldn't know what to focus on in a fast-changing frame. Second, whatever it focused on would be too slow so the whole frame would be a blur. That's why action cams are fixed focus from necessity.

[@heymrguitarman7637]

Honestly the ace pro just feels pointless to me. The only redeeming feature is the flippy screen but I prefer the front screens on the GoPro and Osmo anyway as they are much less likely to break. It's not that I don't think the ace pro can do a good job, only that it does do anything important any better than what was already available so what's the point of it

[@tech-utuber2219]

It is more versatile than the others due to its superior processing chip. The 8K footage is very usable. I am curious to see what if any features they will add with firmware updates.

I don't like the action cams for vlogging. I am really having to put up with that footage. The only thing that looks worse than action cam footage is the Z30; it's jittery and frequently loses focus.
