    Looks like AKASO is going crazy with their YT marketing. It's second video I see about it made by a hiking UA-camr. That said, I hate the pointless 4K mode and the ridiculous digital zoom. This makes it sound like some cheap toy. These are purely marketing figures and have nothing to do with the capabilities of the device. The video resolution should be matching the usable resolution. Some digital zoom is OK in the field, but at the highest settings it just looks like ants fighting. But in the end this device gives you something that you cannot achieve otherwise. I bet it is fun to use.... or it is frightening, because everything looks like you in the Blair Witch Project.

    • @stevestechemporium
      @stevestechemporium 3 дні тому

      Depends what you are using it for. The zoom is useful to maybe 4x at best. But yes it doesn’t feel like a real 4K. I think sometimes the marketing terms diminish the impressiveness of the technology. It’s literally a device that lets you see in the dark for £200-300.

    Dear Steve, On the 4:30 you are showing a daylight; and on the 4:45 you are showing a lowlight comparison between Insta360 Ace Pro and DJI Osmo Action 4. I strongly dissagree with your conslusions. You are severly out of focus on the daylight image on Ace Pro. The same goes for the night image, where every letter is clean and clear on the Action 4 without being oversharped, and wobbly and unlean on the Ace Pro. Therefore I consider you either a madman or a blatant shill to call Insta360 Ace Pro a winner in these scenarios. I really enjoyed the statments in the other chapters, you gave really strong and appealing points, but they are tainted in desbelief for me due to the prior reasoning
