Insta360 Ace Pro: The Absolute BEST Settings

[@gerrytran]

A big thank you for your series of great and informative videos on the Ace Pro. I've been using it now for 3 months and love it. Your videos added a lot to this!

[@pat2383]

Very helpful for a newbie to Ace Pro and action cams!

[@area28]

Very good Review and hints - thank you very much

[@TheLukeExplores]

Great video man, quick question for you. I’ve had the ace pro for awhile now, and I’ve found terrible results with auto settings. It seems like the ace pro is always trying to change the iso and it causes a lot of flickering, and the shutter speed is always all over the place. Any suggestions??

[@MountMediaChannel]

Are you shooting in low light? Flickering with artificial lighting?

[@pat2383]

I actually just came back from a hike and found the same. The video looks like crap and it keep slowing down as if it were in slow mo then speeding back up. This is my fourth test of hiking videos and each one was awful to watch, like a million little dots constantly flickering. Need to get this right, only have a 15 day return period, and so far does not suit my needs.

[@MountMediaChannel]

If the lighting conditions were good, this sounds like a defect in the camera. But if the pictures were taken in very poor lighting conditions (e.g. in the forest in the dark), it could also be image noise. @@pat2383

[@pat2383]

@@MountMediaChannelthanks for the reply. I'm going to play with settings a little more, but I wouldn't have considered it dark, it wasn't a particularly dense forest...I'll report back if I find something that works for me! I really WANT to love this camera!

[@iancraig]

Thank you for this video. Have you come across ‘performance mode’ in the app? Perhaps only affects the app?

[@AlbertoAlfano-j4l]

Thank's for the exhaustive explanation!

[@BagsPackedFamily]

Are you going to make this video for the Ace Pro 2?

[@MountMediaChannel]

A complete tutorial coming soon

[@novikovgarage_SPB]

спасибо ! Ваши рекомендации очень помогли мне в настройке моей Ace pro ! 👍👍👍

[@AbdulsCycles]

Great sharing for the best setting Insta360 Ace Pro, Thank you... 👍👍

[@SebiLegend]

Thanks for your video! Do you know who to enable that the Insta360 Ace Pro is charging from a powerbank during recording?

[@januarjack]

very good video... very clear explanation.. but the insta360 one rs 1 inch from Leica should be more powerful, because of the larger lens

[@KeliK1]

This is very useful. Thank you!

[@alirenzo]

may you tell me which fps and regulation is good for vlogging? i used ace pro but during editing i can see some pixels when i moved. i used 30 fps and 2.4K in addition reduce sharpness to meduim

[@TechShowhk]

4K60 !!!

[@pvinnie3827]

Perfect explanation! Thanks!

[@SaltyForever]

I know it's weird, but don't know why you remind me about agent Smith in The Matrix.😅 Thank you for sharing knowledge.

[@AnotherScotland20]

Thanks for this. I’ve just bought one of these for filming rivers in Scotland’s dairy country. Given there will be slight colour to the water (from the farms and banking erosion) can you tell me if you’d still go for 4k 30fps and HDR? It won’t exactly be low-light but it’s not California either.

[@MountMediaChannel]

Yes - I think during the day that should be fine

[@AnotherScotland20]

@@MountMediaChannel Mòran taing.

[@rickbrooks1608]

A quick question. I like to film my late night highway drives and motorcycle rides. Would you recommend 4k60 so not to lose any detail or 4k30 because of it being night?

[@brianmagicman3556]

Neither Use the pure video option You can thank me later 😉

[@horrifyingstoriesreal]

thanks I'm getting mine on Tuesday😀😊🥰👍👍👍

[@kurtisca]

SUPER valuable video, thanks for sharing!

[@sung_yun]

Very helpful. Thank you!!

[@MicroRealm93]

I've upgraded from the GoPro 8 to the ace pro, but to be honest the ace is very grainy, ive tried all the different settings, yet it still seems to have worst quality then my hero 8. am i doing something wrong?

[@WiljanWiljan]

Than you. How can you create and shoot panoramic photos with the ace pro?

[@MountMediaChannel]

There is no feature for panorama photos

[@adamslawson]

what about video output? I want to live stream 4k/60fps and need to do green screen with video camera. Can this camera output 4k 60 via the webcam?

[@fromthesidelines1453]

Question does this camera have a 30 minute record limit before it stops and starts recording again?

[@hugomisagna1657]

No tiene límites de tiempo de grabación

[@chiu2003MOBILE]

A stupid question, how can I ensure my footage is always horizontal? What setting should I use

[@MountMediaChannel]

Hold it horizontally and then activate the rotation lock

[@JimyOfficial]

Can you shoot in 8:7 and crop video for all platforms like the go pro?

[@MountMediaChannel]

No - the Ace Pro sensor is bigger but does have a traditional format

[@theweekendeater]

Ace pro does have a Free Frame video mode which can shoot for portrait and landscape formats at the same time.

[@bprabawabr]

I personally found faces to look weird with HDR on... It's like the tone mapping is too extreme

[@MartinHarvey]

Superb thank you

[@biggooseadventures]

Great video 😊

[@myjermedia]

Well done

[@DebarshiVideoDiary]

thank you very much

[@DougBow96]

Looks like new firmware has released for the Ace Pro, time for a video update? Please 🙂

[@MountMediaChannel]

Yes, I know - but there are hardly any new features and nothing has changed in terms of the ideal settings.

[@DougBow96]

@@MountMediaChannel understand, thanks for your efforts 👍

[@DougBow96]

Thanks 💯

[@marcushaller]

Ich erfreue mich ja immer wieder an den Bildern aus dem Vinschgau. Aber einen Vorteil bei Instas Freeform Mode sehe ich irgendwie nicht. Ich erhalte ja keinen größeren Ausschnitt, wenn ich den Hochkant-Bereich exportiere (im Gegenzug zu GoPros 8:7 Sensor). Von daher kann ich auch so in 4:3 aufnehmen und danach in jedem Videoschnittprogramm mir einen 9:16 Bereich herausholen. Oder übersehe ich etwas? Ich hab die ACE Pro aber wegen der schlechteren Benutzbarkeit beim Trailrunning wieder zurückgeschickt und nehme die Action 4. Intuitiver bedienbar, Frontscreen ohne Klappdisplay, kleiner/leichter. Aber das ist nur mein Use Case. Lg nach Südtirol aus Garmisch (Wir sind regelmäßig in Naturns oder Prad)

[@MountMediaChannel]

Hi - nein du übersiehst nichts - das stimmt. Du erhältst keinen zusätzlichen Ausschnitt, wenn du das Format wechselst. Das Field of view kannst du zudem auch noch frei einstellen - das geht z.B. bei der GoPro nur in eine Richtung (von weit zu eng). Aber ja, für viele halten sich die Vorteile in Grenzen. Grüße aus Südtirol!

[@j.ott_coasters]

Could someone please help me, I can't find the sharpness setting

[@hugomisagna1657]

En este video a partir del minuto 11:00 habla de la nitidez

[@bourdon845]

Intéressant

[@DEEWANAGAMER20]

You should mention that ace pro is not for vloging or selfie videos as it doent focus properly to close subject. you are not focused on this video even using a selfie stick, thats a greatest flaw on this camera, i almost wasted my money watching you and buying one on your recommendations.

[@twowheelsr6]

Agree that’s the only thing I don’t like.

[@iamearthbeing]

: How close the object must be to the camera, for it to focus?

[@MountMediaChannel]

As with all action cameras, the focus is set to infinity. As the sensor of the Ace Pro is relatively large for an action camera, the close-up range is out of focus - this is the same with the Action 4, as it has the same sensor. Normally, the shots are in focus and sharp at arm's length. However, the camera should not be any closer. In low light, the footage can look a little blurred - but this is due to the noise reduction. But it's good that you say that, I'll be more aware of it in future.

[@twowheelsr6]

@@MountMediaChannel yes, I have a hero 12 as well and it focuses very well, it doesn’t have the focus issues that the ace has, but hopefully insta 360 will notice that and release a software update

[@user-wy4pl8eo7r]

​@@twowheelsr6but this is not a software related problem, it's the combination of the size of the bigger sensor and the lens. So no update will help. You can only put a macro lens on it to solve it.

[@spggoutam]

Sky colour is not realistic

[@mraesthetic4470]

The quality is so bad of this camera stay away
