Great comparison video, sir.
After a year, how much does a user have to pay for replacement of a damaged or scratched lens?
@@kapwakadete Hi - unfortunately I have no information on this
Such a waste of time. For a scratch lens, you need to send it back to the service center.
Action 4 is much more practical
ciao volevo informarti che dopo altri test ho reso la ace....grazie per il supporto!
OK - La Action4 è un ottima camera! @@pescaconMatte
The removable lens cover is major consideration. I keep a spare cover with my Action4 at all times, so that my project won't be interrupted.
you can replace the insta360 lens though. just buy the kit.
As action camera, the lense should be easy to change if it got damaged. Why you should waste you time to send it back to service center. For this Action 4 is a easy win 👍👍👍
Agree 100%. If you're on a vacation and this happens with the Ace Pro, you're SOL till you get home, mail your camera and wait a few weeks...no thanks.
you know they make protection cases for action cameras right... how often do you break your lens cover, cause i've never seen one needing to be replaced before.
it's easy to change
9:54 for the deactivated front screens, you can try to unlock the front screen to get it started. it supports single-screen view, if you need the front screen to be opened, then unlock it.
Thanks for your professional review, please advise which camera can take Photo+Video simultaneously, like ex GoPro5
Both cameras are amazing, it depends on your needs and preferences. For me DJI is the option to go
And no one talking about 2extra batteries
Thank you for adding battery life on one charge and how long it takes before overheating.
The low light shot on Ace Pro is better.
The price of the Ace Pro is equivalent to the DJI Action 4 Adventure Combo, you have to buy the battery and other accessories separately
This mean the final price or cost will be much higher for Ace Pro vs DJI Action 4 adventure pack. I wonder how much is that wrist monitor of Ace Pro. The total cost of could be a deal breaker
@@paulchin4094 wait for the sales
Maybe they'll be releasing the action 5 soon, hence, the price drop.
@@paulchin4094 valid point, gets much more expensive quickly once you add the extras and it's 8 bit vs 10 bit.
Do you know at what time around they will be realising the action 5? @@nikodroid21
i also found that the Screen Timeout and the Screen Clarity on Ace Pro are way worse than Action 4 or any action camera on the market. it looks like a gopro4 or 5 screen.. but none of you guys ever mentioned it. 😅
The most helpful comparision video!
Wow, cant beleive the low light shot is that good.
Fantastic! I will be buying an Ace Pro. Thanks for the info!
Hi which actioncam is better for hiking and biketravels ..i want only make videos on daylight in summer..a good dynamic range is impottant. Thanks
Very fair comparison and comment. Thanks
good video, the flip screen looks great but I think will depend of your needs, I like the form factor of the action4 because is a tank! you know will resist everything, but having a flip screen will add some wekaness to the design, but as I say that will depend of the use, as a trail runner I don't need a flip screen, I need something that can resist the environment.
This is the right comparison, compare this camera to DJI Acton 4. I see many UA-camrs trying to compared it to GoPro which is not even the best in the market. Seems like those people are taking money from GoPro 😂
another clueless guy lol. gopro is the best in the business dude
Another reviewer said that when he received his Ace Pro, Insta 360 also gave him a voucher to buy a GoPro and had encouraged a direct comparison.
@@kllaskas810That's just not true. Lots of people have left GoPro due to technical issues. And this Ace Pro is CLEARLY a better camera.
@@7996hobguy "technical issues" are usually incompetent users who use SD cards that are not fast enough. Or use the Gopro on a tripod, then it overheats of course. I'm sorry but you're so naive
@@kllaskas810 gee, what a great camera. Always shutting off when it gets a little warm. Stops recording randomly. Even inoperable out of the box. People are leaving GoPro for a reason, it's junk and GoPro has crappy support.
Are you limited on resolution or frame rate when you remove the selfie stick?
Hallo Werner, auf welcher Stufe hattest du die Schärfe bei der Insta stehen? Auf Mittel oder auf High? Über eine Antwort würde ich mich sehr freuen. Weil die Action 4 und die Gopro doch eine deutlich schönere Schärfe gezeigt haben. Aber ich denke auf High wird es dann identisch sein. Danke und LG Jörg
In diesem Test auf Mittel
Hallo@@MountMediaChannel , vielen Dank für die Antwort. Das hat mir sehr geholfen.
So tempted but I have their last 360deg camrea and the interface is terrible. Think I'll pass and await the 1" sensor version which is bound to be arriving soon - but from which manufacturer?!
Amazing comparison as always! Can you tell me if I heard correctly that also with the ace pro you can remove the self stick? Thanks!
Yes
@@MountMediaChannel great to know! if you would make a comparison about this feature will be awesome!
Best reviews on UA-cam..
I’m curious, Will the full sensor shooting mode allow for use of ND filters with post stabilizing in app? Can I then film with the 180 rule during the day without a gimbal? I see Insta360 has Nd filters on the website but I see NO ONE has posted using them.
I’d like to use nd filters at the motocross track for day time use with the 180 rule and not worry about a gimbal.
Or is the HDR good enough where I shouldn’t worry?
I’m torn between osmo action 4 and ace pro.
How does ace pros hdr compare to DJIs 10 bit log? Thats what I want to know! Anybody have any answers???
Seems many reviewers miss mentioning this key point...feels disingenuous and biased...sponsorship maybe??
The bitrate is higher on the Ace Pro
Does the Ace Pro fit the iSteady Pro 4?
Thank you for the comparison.
I've been stuck in an endless loop of choosing which camera to get and have been close to getting the Action 4, but I now feel I'm entering another loop of procrastination. I'm wanting to film some hiking, landscapes and maybe a timelapse or two. Really not sure which to go for now!
It is a bit of a luxury problem, I have seen many reviews and I think this summarizes strengths and weaknesses:
Acrion 4 pros vs Insta Ace Pro:
Interchangable lens (can attach filters etc, or swap lens if it gets scratched).
Longer battery life (about 15 min longer in 4k/60fps)
More "neutral" in colors
10 bit color space
Price (at last in Norway, you can get the adventure bundle with 3 batteries and a lot extras for less price than just the insta ace pro).
Ace pro pros vs Action 4:
Stabilization does seem much better
Better low light performance (ai does denoise and fixes video)
AI functions (might seem gimmicky for some)
Reportedly the editing app is good
Ace pro "other" stuff:
Tiltable screen might be good for some (like vlogging), as you can get down low and see on screen.
Titable screen might be bad for others (like mountainbiking)
Focus distance is said to be 40cm, but its really best suited at 60cm distance
USB-C port is not as capable as on Action 4 (for instance if you wish to use external mic)
The camera does seem to more quickly adapt to change in light levels (like driving inside a tunnel and comming to a tunnel opening).
Action 4 "other stuff":
Better usb port (can run mic on it directly)
Camera most likely better for enduro bicycling as there is no tiltable screen that can break off or get dirt in hinge, also replacable lens/filters means its easier to protect.
Comes with a "cage" that also does some protection.
I havent tested any of them, but for me it seems the Insta 360 might be better for someone not into extreme sports, and not someone who has to focus very nearly.
However if you like to use it for vacation, maybe gokarting, car driving, walking in the mountains and especially if you wish to edit and post from phone, without doing editing, it might draw a longer straw.
On the other hand, the Action 4 is more versatile if you need a rugged camera and a camera for more advanced use cases, also its easier to fit stuff like external mic directly to USB-C port.
I would say both cameras are great, but have their own quirks that make them better or worse for what you want to do.
Which is better for motovlogging, hero 12, action 4 or ace pro?
Much more user friendly than Action 4.
I saw your video comparison and it's very interesting. However, in almost all the shots I noticed better image definition on both the Osmo 4 and the Hero 12. Perhaps they have automatic sharpness enabled and it was disabled on the Ace Pro? Thank you
Yes! It seems like all the reviewers deliberately ignore Ace Pro image sharpness when comparing it to GoPro or Action 4. I don't get it.
That was an incredible comparison!
awesome video brother love it. question: does the 360 ace pro record in mp4 file or the 360 file. I know the action 4 records in mp4. that's a big factor when editing with premiere pro.
mp4
Thanks !
Hey pal! Great vid.
Can you use manual settings with hdr activated?
So if i set to 100iso in low light to get better quality depending on light?
Ace pro
Yes
Hello,
I want to click some travel photos, videos. Not like bike ride type or bikers type videos but still some vlogging videos, some cinematic videos and some good photos.
What should I buy Action Camera like Insta360 Ace pro or Point&Shoot camera like Sony ZV-1 or ZV-1F??
In dilemma like u 😂. Which 1 u bought now?
Im happy with my action 4 ,😁😁
For action cam DJI is much compact ang look more durable. Ilike the flip screen on insta but me as a lazy vlogger ilike the build of AO4. And for long term use or extrem condition insta ace pro is not yet tested 😀
I cant wait my action 4.. but wait dji can produce 8k Ultra soon to be
I like the big flip screen. convenient.
Can you tether an external battery source to the Insta360 Pro so that you can get more operating time than the 1+hours?
yes
Which onw would you choose for mountain biking? Insta is more pricy, it' bigger and maybe less durable. Also i'm worried about stabilization in your test.
What are your thoughts?
Hi, both are fine for mtb - the stabilization will not be a problem. The Ace Pro has the advantage of the HDR Feature (no burnt out highlights when biking through a forest) - the Action 4 has the wider focal length, which is nice when mounted on a chest mount for POV
Perfect comparison
Action 4 its a little better dimensions and maybe similar in low light in smooth conditions. But Ace Pro better in image quality.
AWESOME INFO DUDE... 😊
Thank you for the video. I like to record at night. What is your suggestion for low light? insta look better i guess. Do you agree
Yes - for low light the Ace Pro is the better choice
all shots background looks much more detailed with action 4 against insta. Insta blurs all image details that are further than 50 meters.
The AI warp feature is cool af!
no one talks about the down sampling from 8k to 4k, the results are over sharpen or overblown highlights, in addition insta ace pro has more pixels but they are smaller pixels then the dji.
smaller pixels.. lmfao. one pixel is one pixel.
Anyone else wish the ace pro could have a wider fov? It's a real deal breaker for me since I mainly shoot onboard pov videos
😂well than get the insta360 x3 although good things come to those that wait. Insta360 is coming out with a new one soon.
Where is this filmed? So beautiful!
Looks like dolomites alps in italy..i cant tell
As always a super pro review video, thanx. Is there a way to connect hdmi? I need to use it with capture card. And can it en charged at same time using external mic?
What about activation issues with Action 4?
HDR does not work in 60fps for Ace Pro... Please do a comparison in 60fps with 1/120 shutter speed using ND filters.
Clearly and completely explained.
Hi i want to buy a camera basically for my bike rides and to capture videos and photos on trips, which camera will be good for me?
Hi - both are good choices for your needs - the Ace Pro is probably the better choice for photos
Some categories should carry more / less weight ... I would give a huge -10 for a non-replaceable lens for example.
Great video
Night video recordings look sharper with ace pro but for same cost we can get DJI action 4 adventure combo which is a winner.
The foldable screen is a plus? It s called action cam.
So no flip screen needed.
Action 4 has the ability to add and remove filters which I do like the only thing I do like about the insta360 is pause during the video which they took away from the Pocket 3 for some reason or am I mistaken? The other question I have is "do you own either camera?" Ever decision in this world is done on some sort of bias. The camera I have in my hand is better than any camera on the market because that one I own. Thanks for posting...
Which one do you recommend for golf and baseball videos? I'm new to the action camera game. I only own a Dji drone.
Hi, the Action 4 has a wider field of view - the Ace Pro the useful flip screen, a slightly better image quality in low light and the zoom feature might help you getting closer
@@MountMediaChannel appreciate it!
X3 for widest fov lol
Hi, what do you guys think 💭 about ace pro ?? I need review from someone who use ace pro 😊
Is the ace pro even an action camera? Looks more of a vlogging camera that can go underwater.
I like the 360 but the lens is a deal ender, went through that with the Hero 8.
Your and Dc Rainmaker's reviews are the ones I've been waiting on. Thanks for getting on this.
How does that AI on the ace pro, stand up, when editing the footage/colour etc, does it create artifacts?
No, it mainly recognises important moments in your shots
Is the accompanying cell phone app mandatory out of box? Can you take this camera brand new out of box and record with it without the cell phone app?
Do you mean whether you have to activate the camera, as with DJI? I don't think so, but I also used a pre-release version. However, you should update the camera via the app.
Thanks
Which of these two is a better camera?
Great video! However, recently I have been stuck deciding between the Insta360 X3 and the DJI Osmo Action 4. They are both really great cameras but don't offer everything. The areas that one camera specializes in are a disadvantage for the other and vice versa. I like how the X3 provides ultimate versatility, an Apple watch app, GPS, and an amazing app but I am scared of getting it as I am going skiing and I have watched many videos that talk about how fragile the lenses are and how the protectors and guards ruins the image quality especially because I love the third person backpack mount. For the Action 4, I love its design, durability, and quality; everything about it is very good but I don't like how there is no app for the Apple watch that I could use as a remote control like the insta360 and GPS and speedometers can only be accessed using the GPS remote control unlike the X3(I might be wrong) which I cannot get as it does not ship to my country. Also, I heard and saw that it only exports in 1080p, now I don't know if this is correct but this would be a big factor for me as I really prefer the 4k quality export that insta360 X3 provides. Another thing is the field of view, it's great but not that wide especially to record my skiing experience through the mountains. I also had this concern about whether I could use the insta360 third-person backpack mount with the DJI Action 4 along with an adapter to fit the camera onto the mount but I am unsure if it will work. All in all, they are both really great cameras and for the price are really suitable (the Action 4 being a bit better as the adventure combo comes with 3 batteries and a selfie stick whereas the X3 comes with one battery that does not really have a long battery life which could be annoying for me when I am on the mountains and constantly returning to the resort between runs or charging it with a power bank) Could you please help me in choosing the best option for my situation and let me know if the third-person mount can be used with an adapter with the DJI Action 4 that is a great factor for me in deciding my camera for my upcoming trip? Thanks!
PS: also if you can it would be great to post a video on how the Action 4 looks on the insta360 third-person mount (if it is compatible.)!
Hi, I used the backpack mount a lot and think it's not really suitable for the Action 4 - don't forget - with the Action 4 you will also see the small Pole wich is attached to the mount - and the distance between backpack and camera would not be big enough for the Action 4. The X3 has a significantly wider field of view. But, yes you can export X3 footage only in HD-Quality
@@MountMediaChannel Thank you for your reply, but I just thought of it, I don't know if it will work, but if I attach the Action 4 selfie stick to the backpack mount would that work? Also for the quality of export, I was asking about the export quality of Action 4 and I thought that the X3 can export in 4k and 5k also. Overall, I just need you to recommend which camera would be the best for me to get.
Edit: if in the end I decide to get the X3, would it be ok if I use the waterproof housing case from insta360 and use it for skiing in order to protect the lens (because I’m scared of shattering them)or will that make the quality worse or change something in the footage?
Hey nice comparison! is this in Merano?
Yes
@@MountMediaChannel Already snow at the ski centers! Nice!
Can you zoom with the Ace Pro while recording?
Yes
video quality is really flowless (with a bit on the warmer side tone ) but I still like wider view on DJI
Hello,
I want to click some travel photos, videos. Not like bike ride type or bikers type videos but still some vlogging videos, some cinematic videos, some good photos and some snowfall videos.
What should I buy Action Camera like Insta360 Ace pro or Dji pocket 3 or Point&Shoot camera like Sony ZV-1 or ZV-1F??
Hi, I personally think the main advantage of an action camera is that you can mount it anywhere, it is rugged and waterproof - and small and handy. So it is really well suited for travel. For photos I would prefer a bigger Sony. The Pocket 3 is the best solution for vlogging.
@@MountMediaChannel Is Pocket 3 good for vlogging in cold region as well?
Didn't have any problems with the cold yet@@shaktisourabh502
Which of them is better for skiing?
Both of them are great for skiing - the Action 4 has the wider field of view, the Ace Pro the flip screen which ist great for filming yourself with a pole - and the HDR-Mode
Amazing video as always!!!
I just got the Ace pro 2 days ago,
The only thing I can complain about is
Unlike the Gopro, the Ace pro is a very high price compare the Gopro, and it comes without a bag....
Yes, true!
I think because the DJI has a log profile as well as 10-bit color should have definitely got a point against the Ace Pro in the color test since those are 2 big features to have and should have also been mentioned in the dynamic range test, and you should have given another point to DJI because its cheaper
Of course Action 4 is cheeper because it's worse😅
@@sebw3964 i v seen some flip screen are aready broken, as a action camera which is worse?
@@sebw3964with this logic, this Ace pro is worse than iPhone 14
@@sebw3964 For canadian dollar the Ace pro is about 689 after tax. While Action 4 Adventure Combo 750 after tax is not bad. 750 with 3battery? im pretty fine than ace pro 680 with 1 batt
It is actually a lot better@@sebw3964
can you hide the selfie stick or thats only on the 360
It's possible - but only in an artificial way - there is an effect in the app but it doesn't look the same
for recording I prefer to see the DJI action 4 because the FoV is wider. if ACE pro is not wide enough.
I need the 10 bit colour for underwater colour correction, Ace pro seems rather good tho. Log colour correction is king for me.
No you don't, the ace pro has a higher bitrate with HDR, so no issue with color correction, on paper it's even easier than DJI's 10bit
@@estebanod I do need 10 bit as I video underwater. 8 bit is a no go for underwater video, unless just a meter or so.
sorry @insta360, but that is NOT an "action" camera with a non-removable lens cover and I am sure you will be happy for all the returned units where the either the flip screen or lens is broken and covered by your extended warranty...
Nice innovations though for all people that like vlogging only!
Can you use free frame while on pure video mode?
No
I really appreciate this in depth comparison review. all of my videos are shot on a gopro 10 and 11. ive become tired of the overheating issues and decided to try another camera. ive just purchased the insta360, i cant wait to try out its new features.
Not sponsored but a pre-release camera... Ace Pro screen resolution should also be mentioned, along with the potential breaking point of the screen hinge. And the lens being non-replaceable should have lost it a point.
Also, the camera doesn’t have the AI warp feature because the processor isn’t good enough and is entirely app based. You also have to pay for it after 3 months, but they dont put that in the ad
Which camera you are talking about?
Bigger sensor, log profile, natural colours, less bulky are few of them 😊
Sensor isn't bigger
Incredible scenery! Where is this, exactly?
Italy - South Tyrol
"... you can easily connect either camera to a microphone via USB-C"... is that true? I see the Ace Pro sells a microphone adapter. The Action 4 truly connects to almost anything, and can now wirelessly connect to the DJI Mic 2 via Bluetooth.
Thanks for this video. Very useful and comprehensive. 🌟🙏🏼
Does the sticks have controls?
The selfie sticks? There is selfie stick by Insta360 with controls
See i find your face to be better looking when it's orangy, and i would've choosen that look while editing a video for a UA-cam channel so how to know which colour profile will majority of the people prefer? As my choice seems to be different than the majority and it'll effect the reach of the video too right?
Red faces are terrible and you will have worse coverage on Social M. So DJI did a better job here. For me, insta360 ace pro turns everything red, which disqualifies it. Today, such a defect is unacceptable.
Does DJI mic works for ace pro?
yes
Can we connect any wireless mics?
Only with a stupid dongel 😢
yes, some via bluetooth and otherwise you can use the adapter
@@lunchtime2960nah
Very good video, I just bought the Insta 360 Ace Pro Yesterday and Your video was very useful.
What I like about this Ace Pro: Memory album - with AI Highlight to create fast video clips, Instant Delete, Add stats to your video (speed, distance, Slope, location), Excellent Night shot, wrist monitor/preview in real-time, Impressive AI tech (game charger!), and of course the prestige Leica lens!!
Accessories:
Quick Reader $70
Multi Mount $41
Quick Release Mount $35
Power charging station $50
Battery $35
Wrist watch/monitor $??
Can easily add over $200 on top of the basic package of Ace Pro!! At this point, the DJI Action 4 Adventure pack seems like a great deal!
Battery run time 100 mins. In actual, if you use the flip screen/live view a lot, I'm pretty sure the run time will be much much lower.
What about battery type and battery life? Guessing the embargo to discuss that hasn't been lifted yet.
No one is talking about that, I’m curious to know.
One thing I didn't like seeing is blue hue snow with the DJI. But on the other hand, I don't like orange faces. Ace pro had white snow and good looking blue sky. But that face didn't look right. They should come together and make a camera for a perfect one 😂
All cameras have variation in colour. hence colour grade when its important. Action 4 wins there as its 10 bit.
Okay I don't understand why so many UA-camrs are not uploading their videos in high def! I mean this is a great review don't get me wrong but if we're going to be showing video content of 8K 6K 4K then at minimum we should be uploading those videos at least in 4k right??
Hi Jesse, this video was exported and uploaded in 4K. On the right device you should be able to set a resolution of 4K in the UA-cam settings
Nope... I have seen so many footages, its really good but didn't beat DJI Action 4. But Yes it's definetly at 2nd place now and go pro now is 3rd
The image quality is infintely better on the Ace Pro...
yo- like it~ excellent dji,see ya, =))
For me, HDR with only 8-bit color depth is pseudo HDR. Only 256 instead of 1024 brightness levels per color channel. No Smart TV switches to HDR mode.
For you, you don't understand HDR. noted
action 4 £290
acce pro £420 (blaze it)
Not being able to replace the lens cover is an instant no go to me. Especially knowing that the review units UA-camrs have received, DID have a removable lens cover!
This ALONE kills the entire system for anyone doing actual sports. I don't want to have to wait 2 weeks to have a bit of protective glass replaced. Does it even have 10 bit?
i don't think so, no 10bit no log.
12:51 you can also remove the selfie stick of Action 4 directly in the app. no need to upload to the cloud service now.
