INSTA360 vs GOPRO12 underwater comparison

[@mishanadel]

I think you just convinced me to buy the Insta360! We have been thinking about upgrading our ancient GoPro 5. Can't wait for the low-light test!

[@boomermcfall]

I’m hoping that you will present your recommendations for using the Ace Pro underwater with the best settings in an upcoming video on your KZbin channel! I have been using GoPro on all my dives for a few years now and just recently purchased the Ace Pro and the DJI Osmo Action 4 to compare with my GoPro 12

[@DiveSAGA]

I will try! Lots of videos to be made!

[@georgeandkatherinedrager3705]

Hi there are they all interchangeable on your dive mask? Happy diving

[@DiveSAGA]

@@georgeandkatherinedrager3705 they use the same mounts as other action cameras!

The GoPro has two advantages over the ACE Pro. The front screen for doing underwater selfies, and the 10 bit color. It seems if you do any post color correction the 10 bit is essential to avoiding artifacts over the 8 bit of the ACE Pro.

Great video comparison, thanks for sharing this with us and certainly tempting to add a 360 Ace Pro to my equipment list. However, on your side by sides, whilst i agree the colour and likely AI manipulation of the image is preferable on the 360 (this is all achievable in post production with either camera anyway), it looks like the depth of field and features on the horizon is picked up better on the Go-Pro! I can see some features and material in the background on the Go-Pro footage which is not visible on the 360. This could be a result of the AI processing and colour corrections. I think your low light tests are really going to provide the compelling reasons to adopt a 360 in the equipment list. Thanks again @DiveSage for the great video

[@DiveSAGA]

The low light tests are up on the channel right now!

[@nomaddivelogs]

@@DiveSAGA just watched those also, indeed it looks like the 360 is able to pickup far more detail in low light. Would be great to see a side by side in low light tho 😀 we’re never satisfied…

[@brendonsimmer623]

What settings was the ace pro on? The preset dive setting from factory?

[@DiveSAGA]

Color profile Natural, 4k, 60fps, sharpness medium

[@AdamHelb]

Does the Ace Pro have the ability to stay on for the duration of the dive without shutting off?

[@DiveSAGA]

@@AdamHelbyes it does

[@PerezAdvent]

Great comparison. Did you use any video lights or only natural light? I still record some stuff with a GoPro 10 as I don’t see the need to upgrade it (yet) and I always use video lights…

[@DiveSAGA]

I used no video lights, no filters and no color correction

[@FranciscoAlmeida991]

Awesome review! Just a question. Does the video color correction of the Ace Pro also applies to the photo mode? I would love to see a photography review of the Ace Pro

[@DiveSAGA]

Yes it does! I probably won't make a review video just for the photos but in general the same corrections take place!

[@saveourseas7]

Are you using a red filter on GoPro? We never have to do any color correction or enhancements. Live the info bc I’ve been considering buying the Insta360. Does it come with underwater housing, and how would the flip screen help under water? Thanks a million!

[@DiveSAGA]

I did not (and never do) use any filters! I'm not sure if there's a housing that allows the screen flipped. I'll need to search for that!

[@Enivaldo1]

hi, nive video. where did you dive?

[@DiveSAGA]

This is in Utila, Honduras

[@steve66gas]

Interesting, can't wait to see the low light test. However, as far as my needs are concerned, the possibility of using the 8:7 format is a option that I could never do without!

[@josephdracula7487]

👍😎🤿🇵🇭! I generally don’t have very good photography or videography skills so this may become an option! Thanks for the demonstration 👍!

[@DiveSAGA]

I think it's a good option if you don't know how to (or don't want to) do much color correction afterwards!

[@nevakee716]

Do the insta 360 work nice in photography mode?

[@DiveSAGA]

Yeah! I don't use it super much because I'm always doing video but when I've done it, the results were reasonable!

[@nevakee716]

@@DiveSAGA if you have a raw file that would be awesome, I have a z8 and doing on ground photography, I looked at case but it is really pricy looking for an alternative

[@johnykparkjohn]

Perfect !

[@mizyyusof151]

How about snap photo using insta 360 ace pro?.. do you have the setting n preference for photo underwater using Ace Pro?

[@DiveSAGA]

I haven't gotten into photos with the Ace Pro just yet!

[@mizyyusof151]

@@DiveSAGA looking fwrd, if you may used it to take photo in the future n give us the review n preference🙏🏻

[@mizyyusof151]

Just wanna ask, what is the best fps for the 360 ace pro underwater?…

[@DiveSAGA]

It depends how you like shooting. I usually do between 60 and 120fps depending on whether I think I will want slow motion or not.

[@BoyanDobrev]

Fairly big difference I would say... I'd have the Insta360 for sure.

[@sailingmisssalty]

Thanks for the review, great. Do you know if you can also film in 9:16?

[@DiveSAGA]

I didn't see that option but you can shoot up to 8k and then crop as needed
