Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 тра 2024
- Hey guys, I can use your help with this one. I picked up the new insta360 Ace Pro primarily to create content for this channel and need your help in deciding if it is better than my already awesome DJI Osmo Pocket 3. I'm looking to constantly improve the videos on the channel and of course improving video quality is a great way of doing that.
Take a look at the comparisons and let me know which one you like better and why in the comments. Thanks!

The stabilization of the Pocket 3 has won me over. Shaking on the Ace Pro footage is quite noticeable and kinda makes me dizzy.
I agree, it’s also my main camera for this channel while the ace pro is used more for my vlogs
it comes down to low light performance. Got to say in spite of me having a new Ace Pro, the Osmo pocket 3 does a better job than the Insta 360 Ace pro. The image does not jitter and it much sharper than Ace pro.
@Walking Exp, good comparison.
Yeah different tools that complement each other for different use cases. Curious, are you able to match colors of both if you use say P3 for travel and AP for active sports and but into one video?
For me, it was easier to recognize P3 with more natural colors and the bobbing but you did a good job to hold more steady whereas others were hard to watch.
The AP are much more stable during daylight but the colors were over saturated. Did you have it on low?
Are you keeping both?
Yup both cameras are good for their own purposes and have strengths in their own unique ways. The main comparison for this video was to figure out what’s the best walking camera for the channel overall.
I agree with you on the saturation being too strong and processed on the AP. The settings were out the box so basically untouched and normal. I think for the walking channel vids I’m sticking with the OP3, but since I do bike and drive vids also I’m wondering if I should keep the AP or stick with my older GoPro.
Exelente comparativa gracias
For two completely different class cameras, I'm glad to see them as a very comparable duo. Both have their strengths and have very different uses per individual, at the end of the day, it's the footage coming out of the camera for the majority of users who don't have to NOR do they have the skills, software and hardware to post edit.
Yes indeed. Both are superb and at the top of today's portable camera setup. For a traveling walker like myself, I can really appreciate having such a power camera in such a small form factor from both cameras. BTW, great channel and love the videos! Just subbed.
On first look they both look great at night. On closer inspection the P3 has crisper details for night shots.
Does insta360 have a horizon leveling in purevideo mode?
No I don't believe it does have horizon leveling on Purevideo, just on the other modes.
I had both for 2 weeks and at the end I kept the Pocket 3. The quality of the 1-inch sensor is unbeatable whatever the light conditions. In addition, the 10-bit color is an advantage if you want to color grade. Insta-360 is a top class action cam but it suffers the smaller sensor size and the electronic stabilisation which still creates artefacts.
My thoughts exactly! Its really hard to beat that 1 inch sensor but the AcePro really does come close. I'm finding that the insta processes the image a bit much for my liking but as they say quality can be a subjective thing that depends on the viewers preference.
The Ace Pro also has a one inch sensor, so that shouldn’t be an issue.
@@bruceskousen5451No, ace pro is 1/1.3 inch which is smaller
@@maxwellputera2673 I think you’re correct. 1/1.3 is approx .75 inches. It has the same sensor as the action 4.
I do have both if i can choose 1 pocket3
First off, 5a m you! This is the best comparison to date! Second, are on Lewers street in Waikiki? Lastly, the Pocket 3 literally BLOWS the insta360 outta the water in low light!! Unbelievable!!
Thanks for the nice compliment! Yep, you're right on the location , very good :)
I think you meant the Osmo Pocket 3 though right? The go3 in my experiences is extremely bad in lowlight and is also an insta360 product haha.
I don’t think the Pocket 3 “blows the insta360 outta the water in low light” as you say. I noticed very little difference in low light between the two. This is because they both have 1 inch sensors. Now if you compared the Pocket 3 or the Ace Pro to the GoPro 12 in low light, the GoPro 12 wouldn’t even be close because it has a smaller sensor.
Edit: I looked more closely and I do think the Pocket 3 is sharper in the low light examples, but I’m not sure if this is because it’s actually sharper or if it’s due to UA-cam video compression. There’s no doubt the Pocket 3 is a very good camera, but they are for entirely different purposes.
@@thewalkingexperience I did and corrected it, thank you!!
@@bruceskousen5451 well that ‘s your opinion! Look, I’m a total Insta360 fan! I’ve had the x1, ONEx2, now the X3. I’ve had the go1,2 & now go3. But this Ace doesn’t hit the mark for me. The lowlight footage on the ace pro has too much noise and the colors are too oversaturated. Look the shot where he pans down on the Christmas tree and back up. The insta has blown out colors and glow around the lights and the pocket 3 is crisp and colors are on point (despite the low light) it BLOWS the insta outta the water! And again, that’s coming from a HIGE Insta360 fan!!
La diferencia entre ambas es mínima, la ventaja de ace pro es que es menos delicada cosa que la pocket no podrías estar grabando con una llovizna
It's almost not fair to compare the two using their standard color profiles. The Pocket 3 can shoot in 10-bit log and have the colors and shadows be rendered much better than they are in the standard profile.
Yup! The dynamic range on the pocket is quite incredible
Looking for image quality? The Pocket 3 beats all small form factor cameras. For the price it is superb and even beats a lot of way more expensive camera's. Even without post (as seen in your videos) it comes with fantastic footage (sometimes even cinematic). Everyone talks about having to shoot in D-log, M-log etc ... but on the Pocket the standard setting give a much better HDR and come on, look at the image with standard settings .... it is amazing! Great footage without timeconsuming post, comes in very handy sometimes
Down sight might be the external gimbal where it comes to damage-sensitivity. Thats where a strong case like the Insta for sure wins it. Pocket is for sure more fragile.
For a walker .... I would take the Pocket anytime, you want to show where you walk .. the pocket delivers the images in unbeaten quality.
Thanks for the through comment. I agree completely. You understood exactly what I'm looking for in a camera for this channel in that I would want a great image quality camera that is also not time consuming without having to edit it in post and such since I pump out these walking videos so frequently.
Funny that the pocket 3 did better at night, but in the day, the Ace pro is sharper
Pocket 3 would be a great choice if it was water-proof, also the mechanical gimal may not be very sturdy as compared to ace pro.
I think for things like action sports or under water the acepro is best suited. For walking videos such as this channel, the pocket 3 works well.
I like the color of insta 360 ace pro
I do too, they pop!
Не пойму, это трава такая зеленая после дождя на Гавайях или камера!!!
I can validate that what you see on the screen is pretty accurate to how green it is in real life. Very magical place
I am surprised how poorly Ace Pro does in reviews for which Insta360 did not pay the reviewers.
Haha well as you can see, my review isn't one of those that were paid. In fact I didn't post my thoughts in the videos, and let you be the judge :) . However, Insta360 or GoPro if you're reading this for the future, I'd love to do a test drive on your future products as I'm a fan of you both *wink wink* Oh and of course Gopro too :P

pocket 3 pixel quality is much better than Ace Pro
The quality on Insta360 is 1080p if you compare with the 4k from the Pocket :D
Lol that’s a bit harsh but there definitely is quality difference. In my opinion it looks a bit too processed on the Acepro where some areas are a bit mushy even in daylight
@@thewalkingexperience I don't think is a little bit harsh! I am watching this on a 48 inch 4k tv and the quality difference is very big! Or maybe is just me :))))
@@cristianspiridon haha you may be right and I'm glad I'm not the only one who can see it :)
You can’t make an accurate 4k comparison here because the UA-cam video compression is pretty harsh. I’ve seen uncompressed 4k 60 Ace Pro footage and it’s very clear. It’s definitely not 1080p. While the Pocket 3 does outstanding video, it’s not a clear winner. It’s MUCH more fragile with its mechanical gimble, it’s more expensive, and it cannot realistically be used as an action camera. If you only had money for one camera, I would lean towards the Ace Pro.
@@bruceskousen5451 Depends what you look for. But how come one camera gets hit with the compression and the other no? Lets be real.. acepro cant even compete for quality! Yes, if you need an action camera then pocket 3 is useless! In my opinion Action 4 or acepro are the only options for an action camera! But for family, vlog or even trip documentaries.. pocket 3 is at least 4 times bettern in IQ than anything else.
Poket exelente en audio y baja luz, seguimiento, enfocamiento
Ace pro exelente en agua, y portabilidad accesorios ,más resistente a golpes
Si tus videos son cero agua y deportivos eso es para la ace pro
Si es para Acer videos fuera del agua , y nada rudos la poket🤷
Thanks for showing both the full frame and the horizontal split frame comparisons for the identical shots from these excellent cameras! That's a first here on UA-cam!
If I did not already have a pocket 2 gimbal, I would buy the pocket 3! But you're comparison shows me that I will be happy with the ace pro and I like the action-camera form factor for casual shooting.
Thanks for the comment and I'm glad to be able to provide some comparisons that have not been posted yet.
I don't think you'll go wrong with either camera. Like others said, it really depends on your use case and in mine its walking around and filming for the vids on this channel. Personally if action sports and an action cam is what you would primarily use it for then the Ace Pro would be the choice but for everything else I would go with the Pocket 3.
Excellent comparison
1 inch sensor wins
Ace Pro wins in all remaining categories....
Give 1 inch sensor to ace pro and it's unbeatable.....
For sure, both are excellent cameras.
If you're making videos for UA-cam there's really not a big enough difference between the cameras as far as video goes. If you're making videos for the Discovery Channel you're not watching this video for advice. 😉
The big difference is going to be weather and location for most people.
If your weather is more nice than bad and you're not being rough with the camera the Pocket 3 is great.
If your weather and location are a little more demanding the Ace Pro wins out.
If you can only have one and you need a camera you can use "no matter what" you would be better off with the Ace Pro.
If you can afford both, these two would be a good choice for most people.
Osmo is more clearly in night but the colours is little modification the insta360 have more natural colours in night more bright but they missing the clarity in video. Osmo 9/10 in night insta360 8/10.but in day the insta is sure 10/10 and the osmo 9/10 .both cameras are fantastic but for me the winner is the insta because the design is better to put it in helmet for enduro or mountain bike, the osmo is nore for instagram and tik tok videos
I agree. I don't know if it comes across much in the video because of the UA-cam compression but even with the PureVideo (lowlight mode) on the Insta360, you can see some jittering at night. For Walking Video purposes which is what I do, the jittering is kind of a no go. However, when I go skiing or a bike ride, I'd def want to use the insta360 over the Osmo Pocket 3.
@@thewalkingexperiencethe digital stabilization suffers in low light on the Ace Pro, but it is still far better than the GoPro 12 at night. This is where the gimble of the Pocket 3 outperforms in dark settings. However, the Pocket 3 is far more limited in where you can take it.
