    Great Video once again ! It took insta360 so long to get their ace pro 2 back on the market and deliveries were taking so long that I got the DJI action 5 pro and honestly I love it , it’s great ! No regrets .

      Why?

    • @GlastonburyGabriel
      @GlastonburyGabriel 12 днів тому +3

      Several reasons
      1. It runs 2 DJI mics.
      2. It’s less breakable if you drop the ace pro 2 with the screen open it’s toast
      3. It has an amazing feature that has saved me a few times. If for some reason you loose mic signal the action 5 records a backup track from the internal mics.
      4. I saved £100.
      5. I already have all the accessories I need
      These are just a few reasons.

    • @photorabz
      @photorabz  12 днів тому +1

      You are right. Though have you tried dropping ace pro2 with screen open?
      Last year @itssky tried to drop ace pro 1 and it is great
      For dual mics depends on your use
      Both records with built in mic while connecting an external mic

He had only had it a couple of weeks having moved from GoPro because like liked mine so much. The screen glass broke and the hinge mech was damaged so it would no longer fold down properly.

    I just noticed that there is new firmware 1.1.18 for the Ace Pro 2. Here are the release notes:
    1. Supports direct USB-C connection with Hollyland Lark Max, Hollyland Lark M2, and DJI Mic Mini microphones.
    2. Compatible with the Mini Remote for remote camera operation.
    3. Timelapse Mode now supports more shutter speed options.
    4. Improved image quality underwater.
    5. Adjusted the sharpness intensity in I-Log and PureVideo.
    6. Supports card speed detection and low-level formatting.
    7. Supports adding watermarks to Live Snapshots in the Insta360 app. Also supports adjusting the position of watermarks in all compatible modes.
    It will be interesting to see if there is much noticeable difference, particularly for 5 and 4 and what the new options are for 3 above.

    One of the best comparison videos between these two cameras that I have seen on UA-cam. Agreed 100% with your scoring and with your reasons. However, in my case, one comparison point was missed completely.
    The Ace Pro 2 can encode in both H.264 and H.265 codecs whereas the Action 5 Pro can only encode in H.265. Some computers will have problems encoding videos in H.265, mine being one of them. That was a dealbreaker for me so in my opinion, the Ace Pro 2 gets an additional point for this flexibility.

      I just wanted to mention that I purchased a circular polarizer lens, that easily presses on to the existing lens on the osmo Action 5 Pro. So far with my tests, this seems to really cut back and almost eliminate the trumpet flare. It may be worth purchasing one of these filters from Amazon and just giving it a try. There's nothing to lose. Again, I have tested it about five different ways with lighting conditions and found that the circular polarizer lens filter seems to really do the trick. I was holding my breath and was pleasantly surprised when I tested it. Again it just easily presses over the top of the existing DJI lens. I hope this helps you. Let me know what your experience is if you end up purchasing this filter I mentioned. 👍

      2. The quality is far better.
      3. The Action 5 has full control of the mics.
      4. You do not need to carry the receiver so you can travel lighter.

      I have spent the 4 years I have been running my channel condensing my kit down to the smallest size possible while maintaining quality. I started of with the Panasonic gh 5
      The really great thing is the action 5 has all the settings built in that you would get from the mic 2 receiver so that’s less kit and cables again. As you say they are both good cameras but the mic facility is the deciding factor. Great review as ever keep up the good work. By the way when I am doing a mic check since I started watching you ages ago I now use check microphone 123 check microphone ABC 😀

    You'd not go wrong with both action cam. Video quality is similar especially when after uploading to social media or UA-cam.
    Personally, the pros of Ace Pro 2 also the cons. I returned Insta360 AP2 because of the 8K file sizes are enormous for me which was the reason I bought it, too 😅.
    Currently, pick up another Action 5 Pro because the price of its Adventure is 100 buck cheaper than Insta360.
    Currently, rocking with my Mic Mini, which is sooo much easy without using receiver and the sound quality is identical when using receiver.
    Also personally, recording myself in public using flip screen feel like using my Canon G7X which of cause defeated my purpose of using tiny compact action cam.
    That's all for my experience.

    Hi, I believe in your words, I have never had an Ace Pro 2. Anyway in the latest tests on the road it seems to me that both have the same performances at least in vivid and night mode, with some little difference ( yellowed tones or light flares). In sum, I think that Insta360 heads more to some finess appreciable from the professionals and Action 5 Pro heads more to the practicity with two screens and less menu and options to elaborate that can confuse more than else the average consumer.

    I agree with everything you say in this video. I have owned both since the very beginning of their release, I have tried them in every possible way and I must tell you frankly, I prefer to work with the insta360 ace pro 2, for everything. Thank you, photorabz good job as usual.

    Too bad you are removing my feedback on the video. What does this say about your channel when you are deleting messages? Are you really unbiased? Really not sponsored? Did you buy all cameras with your own money?

      You think I have time to remove your comments? Why would I?
      What is the problem now?

      He does that always . Always biased to insta360 . Never says positive points in DJI

      I did what always? Have you watched the video? It's easy to write and spread your knowledge without watching/listening/seeing.
      And if I like the insta better what's wrong with that? Or should I like what you like to consider me unbiased? Or should I consider you biased by dji and bought by dji?
      What I know is most probably you have to work on your way of thinking that will allow you to have a better future

    Great review as usual! For me, ap2's flip screen is a big plus so I bought it last month. No problem for me with the weight, it's a bit heavier than dji but you don't have to plug in extra accessories😎

    Love the scoring comparison! I'm also curious about the difference in color grading in Insta's flat mode vs. standard mode. Please show that next time if you can 👍🏻
