We have a Winner - DJI ACTION 5 PRO vs INSTA360 ACE PRO - which one is better

[@CanadianSyed]

As a proof! I have DJI Action 4 adventure combo and as much as I want to love the lesser I use it and Ace Pro is the obvious choice for me ro throw in my bag (even by passing DJI Pocket 3) which I am using as one of my main cameras in my studio and works great.

[@photorabz]

Amazing

[@JustinPulitzerTrades]

Ace Pro looks sooo much better. I can only imagine the Ace Pro 2 will be even better.

[@photorabz]

Oh yes

[@CanadianSyed]

For me, Ace Pro still wins. Picture quality, the gestures feature, and excellent color accuracy.

[@photorabz]

That's what I think too

[@Helios.Studio]

Oversharpening is so aggresive in DJI. Ace Pro has more natural look.

[@photorabz]

I agree

[@SergeyMilushkin]

Dji. Insta has big problems with focusing on close objects (look at your hand 3:31). And everything on the horizon is blurry, too. It's a well-known and unsolvable problem.

[@photorabz]

Acepro2 has closer focus distance btw. Dji is way to sharp

[@胡小敏-n6e]

Watching from a 2k monitor, the Action5pro is much sharper outdoors, whereas the Acepro has a better performance indoors, especially in low-light conditions. I am waiting for the Acepro 2 to upgrade its blurring issue in a short distance. No winner in my view.

[@photorabz]

Thx for ur comment

[@lecarrosharde0626]

It's crazy how the Ace Pro is 1 generation behind the 5 & still better... Dynamic range etc... Just imagine the Ace pro 2 will definitely outshine all the new action cameras.... The only thing I like about the osmo 5 is the dual mic 2 dji camera you can connect... If ace pro can improve the Bluetooth quality on the Dji mic 2 then even better... Better yet @insta360 make your own camera for your cameras then we will be able to compete head 2 head with everything

[@photorabz]

Thanks for this comment

[@dinnersat630]

I just wonder if the Ace Pro 2 can actually have better quality than GoPro even though the GoPro has 5.3k and Ace Pro 2 won't.

[@photorabz]

Already acepro has better image than GoPro so imagine the ace pro 2

[@sledhead904]

7:40 to 8:11 dji wins, watch it again, much more crisp

[@photorabz]

Yeah in these little things maybe..but elsewhere?

[@Janggut40]

Awesome review.. Im having mya ace pro so far so good

[@photorabz]

Thx alot

[@allmachd]

Thank you for the great video Rating 1 At minute 2:57 I like it better from hell Cam B is it's washed out in the background because you're walking but that's deliberate with this camera which I like (it has more of a cinema look) Cam A 2: 57 is too dark For that please send me more details 1:0 f Rating 2 At minute 3:05 I think because you're filming the view here it's a disadvantage for Cam B the blurriness has a detrimental effect (clearly disturbing the houses are too blurry and too noticeable (and here I don't recommend the blurry cinema look) Here I think Camera A is better 1:1 _________________________________ Rating 3 At 3:18 it's the same as rating 3 2:1 for Djy 5 ___________________________________ Rating 4 3:43 Dy wins here too the image looks brighter with Ace the image looks too washed out because you're not walking and panning slowly and it's a bit too dark it's 3:1 for Djy 5 ________________________________ Rating 5 3:55 I also like the Djy 5 picture better here. It's brighter and the tower on the Ace looks too dark, although the blurred look isn't quite as disturbing as in Rating 4 4:1 for Djy5 ________________ Rating 6 Here the Ace comes out better again, the blurred background is more pleasant, the cine look I don't really like the face on the 5, from 4:15 onwards it looks as if there was a light piece of cardboard on it The face and beard on the Ace look darker but looks better overall 4:2 for Djy5 ________________ Rating 7 4:36 here I think the Ace is too washed out and the 5 is too sharp undecided ______________ Rating 8 4:58 the same as 7 undecided ______________ Rating 9 5:24 the same as 7 and 8 undecided _________ Rating 10 5:31 the same as 7, 8 and 9 undecided __________ Rating 11 Log 5:55 Tie Dj too sharp Ace too blurry ______________ Rating 12 5:57 I like Ace a little better here (here the blurry cine look looks better ___________ Rating 13 6:28 undecided, the face of Dy 5 is a little too colorful and the image is too sharp, Ace is a little too blurry and the face looks too pale Rating 14 7:49 undecided, Ace has a veil of blurry, a little too blurry Too sharp for Dj 5 Rating 15 8:03 Definitely Ace, it looks pleasant to the eye / the face, the face of Dy 5 is not at all beautiful (much too sharp) 4:3 for Dj Rating 16 At 8:16 Definitely Dy, the image looks brighter and more pleasant 5:3 for Dj Rating 17 From 9:39 Ace wins again, Dy's face is not beautiful again and the overall image of Ace is nicer 5:4 for Dj Rating 18 10:01 here the Osmo 5 wins the face of the Ace looks too washed out 6:4 for Dj Rating 19 10:09 undecided the stairs look nice and soft and the stairs of the Osmo with more details and also nice (not too sharp Rating 20 10:22 to 10:34 the floor of the Ace is too washed out and the colors of the Dj5 are nicer 7:4 for Dj Rating 21 10:47 The face of the Dy 5 is not nice too sharp and the face of the Ace is too blurred the background of the Ace is nicer 7:5 for Dj Rating 22 12:13 Here the Ace is nicer again the blurred background and the face also looks more pleasant 7:6 for Dj My personal conclusion With the 4 and 5 I can make the sharpness less sharp The basic image on the Ace is a bit too blurry for me I don't know if it can be made sharper I'm currently using the Actin 4 and am very happy with it and only use the Pocket 3 in the dark But if I upgrade to the Dy5 then if they increase the bitrate I'm looking forward to your Ace 2 video to see what it can do Thanks for the great video

[@photorabz]

Thx for your comment.much appreciated. I was shooting -2 sharpness on dji.. and it is still too sharp.at the end it is a matter of preference. Personally I hate the over sharpened image.. Hope that with the ace pro2 we will have smthg way better than these two

[@sledhead904]

it does look more realistic. I find my samsung low light is sometimes too bright. Viewers can't even tell its dark. I see some of those traits with the dji but clarity is better in some situations, also.

[@photorabz]

Yes

[@underthedrone2735]

The both look very good but I think the A5 is just a little cleaner with better natural color. Not a lot but enough to notice.

[@photorabz]

Personally I did not like the footages of action5, too sharp even at -2

[@RdOZITO]

@@photorabz it seems, your selfie of Acepro are all out of focus

[@photorabz]

When I get close to my face , this is a know thing now min focus distance of ace pro is not as short as action 4 (40cm) and action 5 pro (35cm)

[@satwave]

DJI visibly has better image quality in low light than the Ace Pro, but the excessive sharpness bothers me a lot, it takes away all the naturalness of the image.

[@photorabz]

Exactly

[@PaulMessner]

There’s not a huge difference now with image quality with the top action cameras. Where’s the DJI pulls ahead is the audio. When using the DJI mic it’s a seamless process and the audio quality is a lot better. Gopro and insta360 just don’t integrate with DJI mic properly for some reason. Also the DJI to DJI mic connects instantly when using quick capture. But overall each camera has unique features that i wish the others had. I guess whatever works best for you.

[@photorabz]

This is so true

[@EternalMedia]

If you used the Action 5 Pro to its fullest capabilities, like 10-bit log profile, and did a decent job of color grading, you can get a better image than the Ace Pro 2 if you corrected the shadows and highlights properly. That being stated, if you need a rugged, fully waterproof B camera for your expensive mirrorless camera, I would recommend the Action 5 Pro. If you are more inclined to have a quick workflow so you can go straight to social media, then the Ace Pro is better. DJI is missing out on a great opportunity to capture both markets by simply adding a 10-bit log profile to the Ace Pro 2.

[@photorabz]

Well thx for the comment. Bas as I said 95% of users if not more want good footages without manual mode without coloring...

[@dantemclalla2804]

I much prefer the colour accuracy of the OA5 Pro. Even in low light, both struggle in comparison with pocket 3, but AI looks a bit more aggressive on ace pro. There are some issues but they will be ironed for sure with next firmware updates…

[@photorabz]

Waiting for it

[@texassportsguide]

Ace Pro has much better video.

[@photorabz]

Yes

[@PLACESNONDESCRIPT]

Good work for this compared versions its not easy ace pro still a king i will skip the ace two pro unlees u show us its worth upgrading 🎉as usual keep up the good work

[@photorabz]

Thx alot. I got some footages from ace pro 2.. I did not post them because I don't know the settings and so on and if they were edited or not. But they are amazing

[@bingbong6127]

The action 5 definitely captures more detail in the shadows and highlights, but this presents a problem with the unedited image, it looks unnatrual and washed out. You have to record in d log and drop the shadows, to get a more contrasty/natural looking image. I believe this is because the sensor is at the limit of its performance ane they had to use AI to get this improvement in dynamic range which makes the video look unnatural at times, especially in normal colour profile where the AI is doing the most amount of work. If you dont mind editing the footage, you get more detail from the camera which is nice, but if you want to just post it to social media straight after recording, the image is gonna look bad.

[@photorabz]

I agree

[@baron2022ph]

DJI"s dynamic range is not so good. (I am quite surprised to see that). Especially on the clouds, there is no way I will use action 5 over Ace Pro. Now I really want to see how Ace Pro 2 comes out.

[@photorabz]

I am waiting as well

[@letsrugem]

what's your current firmware for A5? in low light I haven't notice jitter compare to other youtubers.

[@photorabz]

U like it?

[@eonwalk]

@@photorabz Why not? I have acepro too.. both are good cameras. BUT if u ask me to choose, i will choose dji action 5 pro for vlogging. Why? Because for me the flip screen is troublesome. I prefer have 2 screens front and back 😁. I can switch the camera front or back while running without flipping the screen.

[@photorabz]

Make sense

[@IamJay]

They are both good cameras, but I prefer the DJI Action 5 Pro because of the two screens which I find it easy to use than flipping up. It is up to us what camera would choose according to our needs.

[@photorabz]

Thx for ur comment. OLED screens are wow

[@RodriguezProduction]

I like the 5Pro's battery capacity but other than that ace pro wins, wish they would put longer battery life on Ace pro 2

[@photorabz]

Watch the last part of the video .hidden leaked info there

[@pokketato3002]

Hi, I am thinking of returning my AC 5 pro and wait for the ace pro 2, what would be the biggest cons when we comparing ace pro to action 5 pro and would they probably fixed with ace pro 2? I don't know much about ace pro and some people said the size and the weight and the Waterproof is the disadvantage and what else do we have? I need to consider all factors but the ace pro video quality is so much better in your video that I already want to drop my ac 5 pro asap.

[@photorabz]

Thx for your comment. Ace pro does not have waterproof issues. It is bigger, a little bit, heavier a little bit. The main con is the audio. Dji is better in that but with the new audio hardware and software on the acepro2 the audio should be better

[@diegorobayo]

It's annoying how the HDR of the Osmo 5, in overcast days, always shows the sky with a veil, too flat, without contrast... in that case, I prefer the "less dynamic range" from de Insta but at least looks more natural. Thks for the comparison footage.

[@photorabz]

Much appreciated

[@xXadambXx]

thank you for your work :) after this comparison: I like colors from ace pro, only i feel it is a little too soft. Action 5 looks so weird :| , colors is flat, but too oversharpen, i love dji stabilization, the most butter smooth stabilization on market, this screens

[@photorabz]

I agree

[@area51works]

DJ Action 5 Pro issues will be fixed in the next firmware. Comparing from Action 4 to Action 5 Pro, there's a big step up.

[@photorabz]

Huge step up on papers only for now

[@runningstories4791]

The question is why are you comparing apples with oranges? Why did you not wait for the new cameras and then do a review, asking for a friend?.

[@photorabz]

You heard the intro?

[@tomkosteg]

Hi and thanks for your great videos. I just wonder if you can explain when to use the different fps’s when filming in 4K

[@photorabz]

Thx for the comment. Actually if you want natural motion blur, your shutter speed should be double the fps.. for example if fps 25 your shutter should be 1/50. In this case if you shoot in 120fps, means you have about 4.8 times the 25fps, means on a timeline of 25fps you can slow your footages 4.8 times

[@ScottDy9000]

Minimum focus distance on the Ace Pro really gives it away. I hope that is fixed in the Ace Pro 2.

[@photorabz]

Oh yes. Watch my leaked info Abt it

[@Amer-m8y]

Hopefully that all this issue in the action 5 will be solved in the next firmware before the launch of the ace pro 2 so we can get a final result

[@photorabz]

Oh yes

[@babyboy1971]

I agree about the screen. I believe these cameras are close. I also believe that Ace pro 2 will win. I hope it comes before Halloween, and I hope you do a comparison with action 5 and Ace pro 2! 😊 I am impressed that no jitters on action 5 pro , what was your shutter speed? Did you film in regular or was this super night. It worked well. Action 5 is way too sharp, I agree. But it has nice dynamic range and nice skin tone and overall color.

[@photorabz]

Yes sure. I was in full auto

[@PaulVoorberg]

5:53 - Did you color grade the log and flat footage? I notice there's a significant color shift a second after the footage starts. I like the sky in 360 but I don't like its often over saturated crushed colors. Was hoping 360 flat would be an option for a realistic picture. If I remember right, I'm using flat on my gopro 11 and i never have to color grade it - it just looks most natural that way. 9:45 - that is an interesting shot, on the DJI it looks like someone stuck a paper poster of your face on your face.

[@photorabz]

Yeah I colored them
