Is there anything like the Pocket 3 in a normal camera format? The ZV1 is close but still does not touch the Pocket 3 in quality and is way to expensive.
Honestly, for some reason, no. I just took a trip to CES 2025 with two friends, I had an insta360 x3 which had absolutely garbage image quality when filming indoors and ended up throwing out my footage, my friend had a Sony ZV-E1 with dynamic active stabilization maxed out at 28mm and many of the shots had to be scrapped due to too much shaking and failure to find focus, and my other friend who just purchased the Osmo pocket 3 a few days before the trip and only filmed on iPhones up to this point got roughly 40 hours of tack sharp perfectly stable footage. After that experience, I'm now in the market for a pocket 3 lol
The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 offers video quality more akin to a mirrorless camera, while the Insta360 has the quality of an action cam, with excessive sharpness and poor low-light performance. In terms of overall quality, there's no comparison. Of course, if you're shooting "action" scenes, in the rain or snow, an action cam gives you more freedom.
They found the seal in the new removable & replaceable lens glass is still letting moisture in so they stopped production to try and resolve the issue. Couldn't come at a worse time as people make buying decisions for the holiday and they are reluctant to say anything to avoid damaging confidence in the camera, or end up issuing a recall for the cameras they did already ship.
@@canyonblue737-8yeah I want this camera but will wait till fogging issue is fixed. Its too bad non of the early youtube influencers have this issue but only some real world users.
Ace Pro should be compared to the Action 5 Pro as the Pocket 3 is a different type of camera. The biggest difference is if you care about colour correcting as the Ace Pro only offers 8-bit, which the Action 5 Pro and Osmo Pocket 3 do 10-bit.
Hello. True, but the video was in the context of vlogging. I have a whole bunch of videos about color gradeing the OA4 if you're interested 😉. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!
@@M1R0_Life_through_a_lens well then an apples to apples of the Insta360 to the DJI action camera would have made more sense... you might as well have included the ZV-E10 in that list since from a hardware perspective you were selecting cameras from different categories. Just food for thought that's all.
8K *is* useful, but not for the 8K... its useful for the digital 2x punch in that still is able to maintain a 4K resolution (true resolution) ... this is something neither GoPro Hero 13 or Action 5 Pro offer and its a significant difference. Still doesn't make up for the big size, weight, moisture issues with the lens, no 10-bit, bad close focus distance, etc. but the 8K allowing a 4K 2x punch in is a real nice feature.
DJI Pocket 3 is infinitely superior to Insta360 Pro2, and they are completely different products. The rival camera is the Action 5, which, in my humble opinion, has better image quality because it is less "artificial".
Hello! I agree. The Ace Pro 2 is an action camera first but it is marketed as a vlogging camera as well. Easier to use but lower video quality. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!
Hm. For vlogging the Pocket 3, for photos Ace Pro 2. But the Pocket 3 also takes good photos, so I would go with Pocket 3. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!
@@M1R0_Life_through_a_lens well its the worst close focus distance of the "big 3 camera cameras" and it of course is destroyed in close focus by the Pocket 3 so it makes IMHO the Ace Pro the *worst* vlogging action camera on the market. I'm not saying it doesn't do somethings very well, or even better than other action cameras, but if I had to buy an "action camera" for vlogging this would be my very last choice.
why do you put a whipping sound on screen transitions? why do all youtubers simultaneously do the same things? why put text on the screen and put a plop sound? Is there some training videos that tell everyone to do the same thing? I absolutely hate it. i unsubscribe from people whop do that. Im not a toddler watching tv for babies. The worst is that jarring thing everyone does putting their hand up to the lens to mark a transition. I un-sub for that.

Hello. Exactly. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
How come nobody is talking about why the ace pro 2 isn't available since launch day & still isn't available? 🤦🏾♂️
Hello. A got the info through you guys in the comments. It's weird though. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

Just use without the cover@@soupnazi81
Bought mine from Best buy almost 2 weeks ago
You nailed it my friend. Very well said.

@@yeeisme True. There's a lot of videos comparing the Ace Pro to OA5 so I sow no point. I also don't have the OA5 ;) Cheers!
apart the fact that INSTA360 aren't shipping out the orders ...even though I ordered at launch when it was available. Not really serious company
Hello. It is weird what's happening. Cheers!
The details are way better on the AP2 also when looking into the sun
Hello. It is quite a bit sharper in 8k. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!
i go for ace pro 2 when it comes to durability and much cheaper price
Hello. Yes, good one. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!
Hello. Yes. Agreed. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!
Good video 👍
Hey, thanks a lot. Cheers!
What better insta 360 ace pro or Dji pocket 3?
Hm! For vlogging? Pocket 3 😆. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!
What better Insta360 Ace Pro 2 or DJI osmo action 5 ?
Hm. It's close. OA5 for colorgrading.
Pocket blurs the background....if i wanted that id use my sony A7IV
Ha! Yes. It's more expensive but true. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!
8K is funny for an action cam or vlogging cam
It is a bit too much, yes. Thanks for the commetn. Cheers!

Ace pro 2 cant be bought, so whats the point?
Yes, there seems to be an issue with removable lens fogging up.
@@M1R0_Life_through_a_lensthey'll ship everyone new ones....
Who says that? It's still available in NY, USA.
I think dji they gave you much money to promote their products 😅
Ha! I wish they would 😆. At least a camera or a drone. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!
@M1R0_Life_through_a_lens at the dji osmo 5p
Which is has background blur?
Hello. The Pocket 3. Cheers!
Which is better blogging and photos
Hm. For vlogging the Pocket 3, for photos Ace Pro 2. But the Pocket 3 also takes good photos, so I would go with Pocket 3. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!
@@M1R0_Life_through_a_lens thanks
Ice pro 2 is not in focus
Ha! It is, about a meter away. Like every other action camera. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!

@@canyonblue737-8 Yes, the vlogging aspect is a weird one for action cameras. Thanks for the comment. Really appriciate it. Cheers!
Ace Pro is not made for vlogging, and it shows. Nice video though!
