6:00 You said about overheating, but forgot about working in cold weather, although you read out the question. Gopro has a problem with shutting down in the cold and generally with operating time in cold conditions. This is an important point, for example, in winter activities. I would also like to see an overheating test in an underwater box at a water temperature of 28 C.

+1 to a magnetic mount video please. My use-case is skiing and skydiving. Am sure magnetic clippy mounts will work for skiing but there’s zero chance I will use something that is capable of coming off (no mater how unlikely) when skydiving. There are already aftermarket options for the GoPro to make them mag/clippy so I hope they keep the screw mount. Already upset they’ve dumped gps…

While stationary, the Ace Pro audio sounded significantly better to my ear, but the quality as wind velocity increased deteriorated pretty uniformly for all of 'em. The built-in rigging capabilities of the Ace are pretty cool, too. Very thoughtful design.

I think the main concern about the magnetic mount isn’t so much the magnetic part, but the small plastic clips that are far more likely to break vs. GoPro’s thick plastic and bolt design that would be much stronger should an impact happen. Would like to see how the durability looks between these two systems. Been loving the content. You just got a sub sir.

I was sold on the Insta, until 8-bit. The amount of times I have recorded footage using Insta360 x3, Action 3 and so on where it was on auto and it did not deal with the low and highlights that well where I've needed to adjust it and 8-bit v's 10-bit is woeful. DJI have nailed it with the Pocket 3 and HLG, try it in a HDR workflow and export, it's awesome. I suffer from GAS but it's not quite happening for me. As the Spice Girls sang, 'What I really want, what I really, really want", is Insta360 proper 4K export resolution in 10-Bit HLG, just sayin. :-)

Lights with distortion on ACE PR: I noticed in some videos that pointing at the sun or lights creates a reflection line. Can you confirm that this happens in the ACE PRO?

*Audio Quality Comparison* : The video provides a detailed comparison of audio quality among the Insta360 Ace Pro, DJI Action 4, and GoPro Hero 12. Despite being action cameras, the Ace Pro's audio, especially with wind reduction modes, performs surprisingly well, showcasing its potential for vlogging or capturing audio-rich content outdoors. *External Audio Capabilities* : Viewers inquire about external audio options for the Ace Pro, such as using DJI mics via USBC or Road mic Go set. The video confirms the Ace Pro's versatility, allowing for various external audio setups, including connecting a mini mic directly to the camera unit with a vlog housing or cage. This flexibility enhances the Ace Pro's appeal for content creators seeking high-quality audio recording options. *Battery Life and Fast Charging* : The comparison extends to battery life and charging capabilities. Despite industry-standard battery tests often conducted at lower resolutions, the video reveals real-world performance at 4K resolution. The Ace Pro demonstrates slightly better battery life than the GoPro Hero 12 and supports fast charging, outpacing the Hero 12 in charging times. *Overheating Performance:* In the overheating test, the Ace Pro showcases impressive endurance, outlasting the GoPro Hero 12 and performing marginally better than the DJI Action 4 at 4K 120fps. This insight is crucial for users planning extended recording sessions or shooting in demanding conditions, highlighting the Ace Pro's reliability under high-resolution, high-frame-rate settings. *Durability and Unique Features* : The video addresses concerns about lens durability and the absence of a user-replaceable lens cover on the Ace Pro. While acknowledging potential issues, the manufacturer's response offers reassurance, including a one-year free lens swap policy. Additionally, the video highlights the Ace Pro's unique features, such as pixel binning for improved image quality, field of view comparisons, and the innovative magnetic mount system, which enhances user convenience and mounting options.

One thing I really wish these cameras would add at some point even if just a bit is IR night vision. Or even just make a dang IR attachment. There are 80-160 dollar 2-4k body cams out here about the same size as any of these cameras with at least minimum relatively good IR and not bad stability mounts. If GoPro, DJI, or Insta360 jumped on adding even a slightly adequate IR function they would be the king of action cameras without question. It’s odd to me that they haven’t even really tried to given there are countless channels that record in low or near no light conditions in their videos. The closest is the ActionPro here which decimates GoPro in the dark and seems to just slightly best DJI in it. With a flashlight maybe the Ace Pro has little to no need for IR at all but if it had the feature it would undeniably be the King even at like 500-550 bucks so long as it can kinda closely maintain the battery life. (Switching to IR would likely need minimal features aside from stability which would help it not need to add too much drain). I cannot stress enough how willing I would be to buy the Ace even if it cost 500-550 if it had that feature on top of what it’s at currently. Say for example, they added the sensors around the front screen. (Move the front screen down a tad, sensors around it and logo under the lens) and make the camera maybe just a bit bigger to fit the sensors as necessary (in the possible event they couldn’t fit it in a future Ace of this same size). These cameras have a lot more features absolutely as it is but I don’t entirely see how they couldn’t at all add IR vision to them. All of these cameras are at a point where the main things they actually NEED to improve is battery life and low/near no light visibility. The stability is insane, they all have really good image quality, colors are really darn good, plenty of options and extra features (zoom, superview (or whatever each ones name for it is), ratios, wind filters, etc). Adding a way to deal with the nighttime light and really working on the battery seems to me the logical next step. Not like the technology isn’t there and pretty good as is. Like I mentioned body cams have it, and they’re running 10-15 HOUR battery life with similar size batteries, with up to 4k 120, and are stable enough to still easily see the footage. Meanwhile current best action cameras can only run just over an hour and their images practically die when it comes to night? Why? Even just a mod addition for dealing with the night like the Ace has a mic addition would be enough. Something, anything to actually try to deal with it. Heck people have turned old action cams into relatively good IR. These companies can’t even try so far? I don’t say any of that to diminish the accomplishments of these cameras, they’re great for what they are 100 percent. I just don’t understand why one of the well known things that make footage rough they seemingly haven’t done much to address. I did mention earlier the Ace Pro seems the furthest on night quality, with a flashlight I think it could actually do okay in low light conditions (ex. Airsoft or urbex where an area has little light). That said an IR function, even if it’s not great, would make it an absolute action camera beast. A function like that even if poor would set it apart as a better option because it has the capability. Of course, I doubt it would be that poor if they added it, but erring on the side of caution there a bit.

What's the battery life like from fast charging. I've always found it's convenient, but often the battery life is significantly reduced for that charge, compared to regular charging. Also genuinely confused why so many people reviewing these cameras ignore the fact GoPro already have a quick release clip, that's probably been around longer than their competitors. Sure it doesn't work on some accessories that specifically use the screw, but if you're using the adhesive mounts, chesty, bar mount, etc. They've all got the clip system. If you were running the proper adhesive mount on your triple camera comparison setup the GoPro would also take a second to remove. I'm sure there's people who appreciate the magnetic clip more, but it's not just better, it's actually the most annoying thing about my Action 2, and that camera won't even transfer files from the camera to an SD card, and they refused to fix it under warranty...

As with most older models you could turn off the GPS if you were worried about power drain. Realistically the GPS uses a tiny amount of power which is why it's not an issue on your Apple Watch. 8bit HDR? as you would need 10bit the output is not actually HDR, Insta360 are very careful to always call it ActiveHDR not HDR video because of this. While it is a wider gamut recording it is not a compatible HDR format you can upload to KZbin for HDR video.

David, per usual, excellent review/comp on these cameras... I have both the I360AP and the DJIA4, I bought the latter 2 weeks before the I360AP came out, then like went oh crap, now I have to buy it. I am a bit underwhelmed by the image quality of the I360AP, compared to the DJIA4, they are close and in some sense, on image quality alone, not worth the cost of upgrade. But the I360AP many other features make up for this. The fixed lens issue on the I360AP is troublesome, however Insta360 seems to have our back with their pledge to repair. Plus I will be putting ND filters on this camera also... more protection. The best and most important I360AP advantage for me is the low light capability, it was my Ah-Ha moment to pull the trigger. I am leaving for Australia early next year, and am debating whether to bring my Sony APS-C camera at all, since the I360AP performs so well... more testing first. I am your newest sub, thanks, David! A production note, if you don't mind: The music track under this video, which is basically a drum beat, for some (like me) is distracting and IMHO unnecessary.

I ended up buying the camera to replace my (2) Insta360 One R's with 1-inch modules. The low light is surely a lot better than the 1-inch mod. However, I don't really see that much improvement in video quality, at least in action mode. One thing that I think is really weird is that in time lapse mode, you can only shoot 4K. This really doesn't make sense to me. It's a fixed image, and it should be at least 5.7K if not 8K. I also don't like that you can't do the zoom in time lapse mode. The only other gripe with me now is the battery life. I think fixed place tests that you did don't resemble what an actual camera is doing in action mode. Obviously, the processor is working much harder when you are mountain bike riding at 20 MPH vs, the camera sitting in place. In my first series of test I barley got 50 minutes, and thats with 4k/60, low screen brightness, and screen off after 10 secs.... But to be fare the user interface/touch screen, audio, magnetic mount, low light recording, and dynamic range are clearly much better than the One R 1-Inch Mod or 4K mod. I I also did some test with fixed placed shots comparing it to my Iphone 13 Pro Max as I was hoping I could use the Ace Pro for these type of shots instead of the iPhone. The Ace Pro does well, but in my opinion, the iPhone still produces noticeable, better quality difference.

It’s more likely that GoPro creates a different type of mounting system that allows it to keep the 1/4-20 thread in the camera like Insta360 should have done.

Unfortunately the Ace Pro is so new that no company has made one with a 1/4-20 mounting option.

PSA: The Insta360 Ace Pro lens cover is replaceable. It’s actually very easy. I’ve changed mine, it’s still running great, no issues.

Nice one dude! One weird thing I've found with the Ace Pro is that the audio is muted for about 1-2 seconds at the beginning of every clip. It actually cut off some of my words during a recent vlog. Have you noticed that?
@swexplorer8 ай бұрын
I got something similar to that. In the beginning of every 4k 30fps recording, when I play it back on my phone or computer, the video will stutter for 2 seconds. I use a SanDisk extreme pro sd card. Super weird and very frustrating.

I’m confused by this. Can’t remove the lens means no ND. Does it do auto shutter and how does that affect the video smoothness in the final product. Also, when I shoot HDR video on a phone and put it in a Premier Pro Rec709 sequence alongside my SonyA7siii footage, the phone footage needs the colour space overridden back to Rec709. Does the Ace pro have that issue?

Crazy with those weird magnetic mount comments lol if they've ever used it they would understand that the magnet guides it to the physical clips. It is incredibly secure and Ive never seen a camera shake off unless it wasn't secured on properly to begin with

Thanks for the video mate, that's a lot of questions answered :) The low-light performance, and free-form + recording pause/resume features really makes me consider the purchase to relaunch my baking channel as I should save a lot of time in post-processing. Cheers!

Yes, you wil love it! Been using it for 3 weeks, absolutely amazing! I, too am too lazy to do any color edit/grading, straight out of the camera & into my video editor. The AI Highlight feature is also awesome!! Save me a lot of time in editing.

@@paulchin4094 I am actually rethinking now, maybe the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 would be better for my purpose. It doesn't have the recording pause/resume feature of the 360, but it does have the wireless audio connection with a dji mic 2, which is a great asset. It also comes with 10bit D-LOG which the ace360 doesn't have (not sure if I really need this though). So hard to choose between the two...

I guess at the end of the day I need to decide if I want to buy an action cam or a vlogging cam. Probably the vlogging cam (so the pocket 3) is a better fit. But I also hike a lot, where the insta360 is a better fit.

@@quentinskitchen If you are not sure if you need the 10bit D-LOG, you probably don't unless you plan to do lots of color grading & editing. Most folks are happy without it. So it depends on your needs. AP also can be connected with a wireless mic tru the mic adaptor.

My celular also has build in GPS, but it only drains (much more) battery when activated or in use. This was with all my celulars over the, let's say, past 20 years. And it would not have been verry differently to action cams. I even had GPS turned off all the time on the Hero11. And yes, GoPro claims that they've removed the GPS-unit from the Hero12 to achieve longer runtime and decrease overheating time. But it just seems to be a "clever" way to cut production costs, because the customers are "swallowing it". What actually has changed on the Hero12 is that they drastically lowered bitrates on those specific resolutions that would have benefited from this. On the same settings. And on a 15min. recording on 1080p30, the Hero11 creates a file of 3,69GB/35142kbps and the Hero12 of 192MB/1727kbps. I'm pretty sure they will get the same results on the Hero11, which still has the build in GPS, in both battery life and (thermal) runtime when they would make the same adjustments in the firmware. Less processing generates less heat and thus needs less power. The removed GPS-unit is just a fairytale and people keep swallowing it.

In extreme woble the Ace Pro stabilization will go ham, not that you would be in that kind of situations normally or ideally ever, but the Ace will break first in that.
@tommywurzbacher75198 ай бұрын
Action cameras only use a portion of the sensor to do the digital stabilization. If the camera shakes they are using different parts of the sensor. That's why there are worse stabilization options with lower resultions. So how should it also do pixel binning at the same time? Are you 100% sure about this? This doesn't make sense to me. Insta360 has also already said that the hardware is not capable of 10bit. So there will not be a 10 bit update.

The problem with a permanent magnet set into the bottom is that it grabs up other things and can upset a rapid set up or scrape things up.

Same problem here, wish I could just try out both Osmo 4 and ace pro for a week side by side before I spend my money. It's clear that GoPro isn't the best, but it's hard to find honest compair video's that aren't sponsored by insta360. Also I would like an option to download the compair footage used in the video's straight out of camera so I can see what it does in my editing flow with colour corrections. I don't know if I need/want the 10 bit or log that Osmo provides, I use Osmo 1 for now but the flat profile of the insta might suit aswel
