Has anyone bought the Ace Pro 2? Can you tell me if the night image quality really has the stabilization issues that other buyers are showing? I'm really hesitant because of this.
I switched from GoPro to a Action 4, just before the 5 was released (yeh, I was gutted as I didn't realise 5 was coming!). The only thing that I would like better would be the minimum distance for focus. A couple of times I have swang the Action 4 round to face me to talk into the camera, only to find out later than my face was not in focus. I guess it's just the case of remembering to hold it further away for vlog style content. Easier to carry around than my ZV-E1 rig for sure. Thank you Tamara, love your content, and your voice 🙂
Would like to see a comparison between the ace Pro 2 and the osmo pocket 3. In low light I have a feeling that the pocket 3 will still beat it by a landslide
In my opinion, the OA5 would be better if the HDR effect weren't set as a default option. I think HDR performs best during sunrise or sunset, rather than in cloudy weather.
I would be curious if all were in LOG and shot a color chart too, then calibrate all footages in Davinci using the color chart to as close to a "REC709" look as possible with HDR and without. Aslo what are the limitations of the HDR modes. I found it awful on FPV drones with a Gopro - not just the color accuracy, but the image looked like extremely noisy and broken. Also zoom in to each picture and check how much the details are washed or clear. Gopros case you cant see the leaves on trees in the shadows sometimes, even on low ISO.
@@SantoshRana-m5o I have heard a lot of complaints over the low variable bitrate - loosing details. Did that got any better recently? I also see on youtube night tests that OA5 displays eg pavements more blurry than the ace pro2. I cant judge if it is noise, bitrate or youtube compression...
One of the few channels whose judgement I trust! I’ve taken the plunge and ordered an Ace Pro 2 to replace my Ace pro. I’m a big fan of DJI - I have a Mavic 3 Pro Cine, Mini 4 Pro & Pocket 3, but (just about) prefer the footage from the Ace Pro 2 over the O5. Having been a GoPro user for many years, I’m sad to see how far they’ve fallen behind.
Just found your channel and have been binge-watching. Probably getting a DJI Osmo Action 4, largely because of cost and, it seems, you don’t sacrifice much in the way of quality. Thanks for all the great content!
I tried pausing on 0:12 and 0:13 and 0:14 - I just can't unsee how blur the footage of your face was Tamara with the Ace Pro 2. That is very surprising to me. Even at 1:25 and 2:10 as well.
another one of your awesome videos showing up on my timeline! I use action cameras in watersports, and the AcePro consistently delivers better out of camera footage than it's competitors. Especially when editing in Premiere! Just received my AcePro2 and can't wait to take it out on the water this weekend! Especially at 8k@30!
This video is very much appreciated! I have been watching so many videos trying to decide on which camera to get. I very happily just ordered an Action 4 because Costco had it on sale for only $219.99. I am a Mom who just plans to use it for vacations and filming the kids. We have a cruise coming up in May and want something sturdy and waterproof. Thank you!!!
I have the GoPro Hero 12. I bought the Action 5 Pro last weekend. It's too early for me to tell what I think; however, I'll have a chance to test it out since I am off until Monday. I'm going on a few hikes, and hopefully, I'll also be able to do some mountain biking. It's always nice to see other women sharing their love of technology.
I was able to guess all 4 cameras correctly just from having watched your previous reviews. As an OA4 owner its great to know I'm still in the sweet spot, will keep watching your vids to see if they fix that weird bloom issue on the OA5P...
A video about which log video is better for edition, with most latitude would be great. You can achieve a more mature results, no so "action cam" one. I mean for me is a good way to use the camera, you get the look you want and then only slap that look in every log video. Isn't too much work excep getting the look (one for low ligh, one for normal light in my case)
I also felt the awkwardness that comes from the dynamic range processing. I wish there was an option to reduce or turn that option off. Sharp and nice review.
From your video, I thought Ace Pro had the best quality, then GoPro then Action 5 then the Action 4. I just bought the Action 5 yesterday and I'm hoping that I can improve the video quality by shooting in D-Log, dialing in the various settings and exposures manually and then color grading. I might have missed it, but were you shooting the 4 videos all in the AUTO setting, just straight out of the camera?
Thank you Tamara 😊 GoPro still has the best colours and skin tones. Action camera at night? Not sure why but I understand some people may want to use them for events or parties etc.
Hello Tamara Nice video again ! I chosed: just got the OA5, because of its good management of low lights, and its size (compared to ace pro 2). Do you plan to make some LUT specifically for OA5 ? I expect DJI soon fixes its overexposed footage 😊
In my opinion, the Action 5 Pro gives the highest quality out of them all, when shooting in D-Log M. And that's whether day or night, but if at night I'd avoid the SuperNight video mode and use a gimbal.
So, if we shoot in log on the Action 5, is grading it as simple as throwing an adjustment layer over the whole timeline and dragging a preset on to it? Or is it more complicated than that? I really wanted to buy the Action 5, but I won't until you say it's better than the 4!😁 I don't need to buy right away so I can hold off while we see if there are any more updates.
It really depends on how you film your footage, for example how different the environments are throughout the video based on where you’ve filmed (indoors, outdoors - sunny, outdoors - shade,etc). You may need to colour correct some clips first before adding the colour grade. However, with the grade being the final look, you would be able to add an adjustment layer over the top of the footage to apply the look to everything once the clips are colour corrected.
I am a DJI Fanboy and own 2 A5Pro's, however I do agree that in normal mode the Insta360 AceP2 looks better and has better audio straight out of camera.
I always try to find any solution or feedback about the device from you or through your channel. I was about to buy Osmo Action 5 Pro but saw your couple of videos including this one. Now I am bit inclined towards Ace Pro 2 due to its random and easy results.
3, then 1 for me, with the Action Pro 2 coming out ahead due to other features. Also looking forward to a comparison with the Pocket 3. The Pocket 3 will probably be superior, but I'm only looking for 1 camera that has good all around usability, and it's looking like it'll be the Action Pro 2. Its hitting that spot between action cam and vlogging cam.
I think for now I'm sticking with the Action 4 as well. I had hoped to maybe upgrade to the Ace Pro 2 but since I never really shoot in low light the differences for me aren't worth the upgrade at the moment.
I needed one more sports type camera, Ive already use 6 but a 7th is necessary. Looked at Acepro 2 but don't like the oversampled look of the video, I prefer the Acepro 1. I saw reviews of the action 5 and the same again so I opted for the Action 4 and wow what a lovely camera and the video is just what I wanted. Newest isn't necessarily the best!
I thought cam 1 (the Ace Pro 2) was the Action 5 Pro when I first saw the stills, as for me colours still look a bit over processed. Cam 2, the Action 5 Pro, not good at all. Out of these, the Action 4 looks best and most natural. Lucky that's the one I purchased recently.
If DJI kept the same video quality of Action 4 in Action 5 i'd be super happy just for the lightning fast dual wireless microphone connection. But they wanted to put into too much trickery for my taste, hope they will add some procedure to disable them.
I also prefer quality of footage of OA4 than OA5 although it is bit darker but look more natural and detailed,especially sky.Therefore, after watching all those reviews in last two years I bought OA4 today.Went to shop and found that price was not 339 Euros anymore but 270 Euros!! Great deal ! Bought !✅📸💯 For low light condition I use Pocket 3 .Thanks Tamara for all those reviews !
Love your vids and content, I think for what I see is that the hero 13 is the best for picking up and shooting without tweaking anything, it gives the most faithful colour there is, however; thats the only good thing about the GoPro, in all other categories the Ace pro 2 and DJI AP 5 win clearly; that being said, the AP5 can record in log and then you give it the best colour in post. Love your channel, thanks for creating great content.
@@CreativeStudiosFM I think that DJI will release more firmware updates down the road that will improve the regular shooting, people are asking them now to remove the HDR or give us the option to do so and I think that will make it the clear winner. GPro may have "better" out of the box image but they are going through an insane amount of technical issues and if the camera turns off then there is no video to start with, so based on that I have ruled out the GP.. what a dilemma!
Thanks for the comparisson footage. Looking forward to your review. I desperately want a good action cam. But am extremely electrosensitised (also known as EHS) and have not been able to find a camera that lets me switch off the wireless functions (bluetooth and wifi). Could you find out if any of these models have that option? This would make me and a lot of other electrosensitised people really happy :)illshare it inour EHS roups (30k+)
I'm so glad that I stayed with OA4. Right exactly on the one I chose from the blind test 😊. However, did you notice the wierd green colours on trees shot on the ace pro? Same artifacts like the OA5? Looks so unnatural. Thanks for the great video! #teamdji
Nah. It’s true. In bright daylight there is more detail in the GoPro footage over all other cameras. Especially in fast moving action. Check comparison footage and look at things like grass, the ground, leaves etc. There’s more clarity in GoPro footage than the other cameras.
@@ZackBackpackingAroundTheWorld Low light yeah. Audio sounds like recorder with a calculator. Daylight? Sky and clouds look cartoonish. GoPro with the HDR looks way better in day light
@@AbelVlogsRD so oversaturating the clouds and the sky makes it better? I mean maybe for you. And I’ll check your videos out. But ever since I switched to the Osmo 4. I can’t even bring myself to use the GoPro even as a backup camera. Do you have the 13?
Hi TAMARA, each vlog you make improves I wish you Luck and more blessings… however I wish to have some of your unwanted action camera for my Vlogging Purposes such as Car Vlog❤
I have own osmo action 4 since the release. Now I've added osmo action 5 pro. Both are great cameras. What I noticed I had to lower my EV leves a little bit to accomplish the same footage quality as the action 4 now the footage is almost the same to my eye on both cameras with the added exception of the action. 5 , it is much more crisp and shows a little bit more of detail. I'm moving away from insta360. Currently own two 1rs cameras with the 360 lens and 1-in sensor as well as the 4K sensor. One in sensor Leica in my opinion has very high dynamic picture quality HDR with very vibrant colors. Therefore, I'm keeping both of those cameras as well in my collection
Action 5 would be great if you could adjust the aggressiveness of HDR. For example, in your shots, it flattens the clouds and creates a strange effect on the treetops, as well as the level of noise smoothing in night mode. In my opinion, if Action 5 took more advantage of the potential of the processor and matrix, it could also have "clear zoom" and 4k in 360 degrees. The stabilization in action 5 is the best, and it looks like it comes from external programs such as gyroflow/hypersmooth pro, because the shots are stabilized after shooting and not during shooting, like in ace pro and hero, so they can use many possibilities of this camera. I can't wait for your next comparisons, because they are great.
There is a topic on DJI support forums about future firmware updates and what users want (for A5Pro). And most often people want the normal mode cartoonish look to be fixed. I also proposed HLG and DLogM face priority exposure option. That would be great, cause color grading them is really easy in post (1 power grade in DR19 :D). I agree Normal mode of A4 is much better even though it's 8 bit ...
Hi Tamara, for filming out of the box without worrying too much about setting, also in the dark hours in well lit streets like Las Vegas strip f.e. Would you go for Action 4 or Insta 360 Ace Pro 2 ? Can the Action 4 with a gimbal compete with the new Ace Pro 2 in low light ? Thanks.
In terms of overall image quality the Ace Pro 2 does a much better job than the Action 4 in low light specifically. I’ve got some comparison footage between the Ace Pro 2 and Action 4 that I can share next week.
Thanks for this video. A lot of people have said that they prefer the GoPro look for daytime. Although it's no good for night time. We all know that. What would you say about that. Finally, if you are using a camera for vlogging, people are saying that the pocket 3 is way better than these action cameras in terms of image quality and face focus which is still not perfected on these action cameras despite numerous iterations. Cheers.
The overall look of footage comes down to personal preference, in my opinion. No one is right or wrong, it’s such a subjective point. The GoPro footage is my least favourite when shot in the Natural colour profile because to me it doesn’t look natural, but if shooting in the Flat colour profile and grading it, then the quality is great, but the camera itself is let down by other aspects, especially when compared to the other cameras. As for Pocket 3 vs the action cameras, the Pocket 3 no doubt has the highest quality, but some people prefer the wider fov of an action camera for vlogging over the narrower fov and shallower depth of field of the Pocket 3 (this includes me in some situations). Again, no right or wrong answer, just personal preference.
@@TamaraGabrielUK Thanks for your response. Some excellent points. It's a great pity that DJI haven't managed to put the pocket 3 camera system into an Action Camera.
It's so frustrating that I still love the look of the Action 4 over the A5. Whenever I see a comparison blindly I pick the action 4; 95% of the time. Not the 5. I also don't understand the word Pro. I feel they should have given the Action 5 Pro D-LOG too. Better dynamic range deserves D-LOG. Like the Mavic product line. Would make more sense to me. 😊
maybe it's the UA-cam compression. I've seen others sample on auto and they all look on par with the X4 except the low light. However, overall the day time footage looks similar. Even the 8k on the pro 2 looks worse than the OP3 4k.
Great content. It’d be great if you could share original resolution/ quality files so we can see ourselves. Would love to see some examples of photos out of these cameras as well. YT downgrades the quality on their platform.
Definitely the Action 4……..a year on and it’s still the best action camera you can buy !! I’d never buy a GoPro ever again and not interested in a camera with a flip up screen and the picture quality on the Action 5 Pro looks shite and I have no use for a depth gauge lol
I will never change my OA4 to OA5P. It has everything correct. And even my grand father knew that if its dark turn the lamp on. He was electrician when electric wires first time came to my country.
GoPro user here since hero 6. One thing that frustrates me about gopro is I have to remove the sd card and used a card reader to transfer RAW photo to my MacBook. Does Osmo or Insta allow you to transfer RAW photo by just connecting USB cable to your MacBook? Thanks
@@TamaraGabrielUK they look pretty cool. I didn’t know those glasses can do all that. U probably have awesome electronics around your house. Do you have a loud stereo system also?
Let's be honest all 3 releases have been poor upgrades, they have really been minor updates , unfortunately this is gonna be more common with yearly updates, the jump from the pocket 2 to 3 was a real upgrade. They are milking it with these.
@@myworldmivida4977 I think they are good upgrades. If you want to compare the Pocket 2 to the Pocket 3, it took three years to upgrade from the Pocket 2 to the Pocket 3. If you’re willing to wait three years for an upgrade on these cameras, you’ll notice significant improvements.
Action 4 is better during the day. The ☁️ and hdr look on the 5 is a bummer. Only would get it because of the dual mic setup. And audio is more important than slightly better video. Every tech device had a step down this year from cameras to phones.
i definelty am leaning towrds dji act 4 to the 5pro. apart from the low light is better on pro 5.... i'll just wait out tp see if they add more firmware updates to the 5 pro otherwise i'll stick to the 4
@@TamaraGabrielUK yeah they did havea firmware update last week but still didn't fix the main issue. Dji looks better than insta 360 rs and most definelty Go Pro has gotten worst off!
: In every review of ACE PRO 2 the sky looks so saturated blue, like the samsung 24 ultra.... 2:42 - Ace pro 2 minimum focus distance, still outta focus. A5 is sharper though.

Thank you Tamara 😊
GoPro still has the best colours and skin tones.
Action camera at night? Not sure why but I understand some people may want to use them for events or parties etc.
Yep, and on holiday I've been in situations where I've wanted to film when it's been night-ish, but wanted to use my camera rather than my phone.

What I noticed I had to lower my EV leves a little bit to accomplish the same footage quality as the action 4 now the footage is almost the same to my eye on both cameras with the added exception of the action. 5 , it is much more crisp and shows a little bit more of detail. I'm moving away from insta360. Currently own two 1rs cameras with the 360 lens and 1-in sensor as well as the 4K sensor. One in sensor Leica in my opinion has very high dynamic picture quality HDR with very vibrant colors. Therefore, I'm keeping both of those cameras as well in my collection
I'm going with the Osmo Action 5 Pro.
Action 5 would be great if you could adjust the aggressiveness of HDR. For example, in your shots, it flattens the clouds and creates a strange effect on the treetops, as well as the level of noise smoothing in night mode. In my opinion, if Action 5 took more advantage of the potential of the processor and matrix, it could also have "clear zoom" and 4k in 360 degrees. The stabilization in action 5 is the best, and it looks like it comes from external programs such as gyroflow/hypersmooth pro, because the shots are stabilized after shooting and not during shooting, like in ace pro and hero, so they can use many possibilities of this camera. I can't wait for your next comparisons, because they are great.
More interested in how their respective log footage hold up to grading. DJI Osmo Action 4 should be the best since it has the highest bitrate
if the image quality of the action 4 same with the new action 5 pro + the new additional features it will be the king of action cam this year
AP5 just needs a super tiny bit of higher contrast.
There is a topic on DJI support forums about future firmware updates and what users want (for A5Pro).
And most often people want the normal mode cartoonish look to be fixed.
I also proposed HLG and DLogM face priority exposure option. That would be great, cause color grading them is really easy in post (1 power grade in DR19 :D).
I agree Normal mode of A4 is much better even though it's 8 bit ...
Hi Tamara, for filming out of the box without worrying too much about setting, also in the dark hours in well lit streets like Las Vegas strip f.e. Would you go for Action 4 or Insta 360 Ace Pro 2 ? Can the Action 4 with a gimbal compete with the new Ace Pro 2 in low light ? Thanks.
In terms of overall image quality the Ace Pro 2 does a much better job than the Action 4 in low light specifically. I’ve got some comparison footage between the Ace Pro 2 and Action 4 that I can share next week.
@@TamaraGabrielUK thanks, looking forward to that comparison.
ONCE A AGAIN A TOP REVIEW IVE BOUGHT THE ACTION 4 NO ISSUES WHAT SO EVER VERY HAPPY BUT THANKS Tamara FOR THE COMPARISON 🎬
Cam 3 has the best Image quality.......it is the GoPro 13 :-)
None. The ones from last year are working fine. Besides, there haven’t been any upgrades this year.
Thanks for this video.
A lot of people have said that they prefer the GoPro look for daytime. Although it's no good for night time. We all know that. What would you say about that.
Finally, if you are using a camera for vlogging, people are saying that the pocket 3 is way better than these action cameras in terms of image quality and face focus which is still not perfected on these action cameras despite numerous iterations.
Cheers.
The overall look of footage comes down to personal preference, in my opinion. No one is right or wrong, it’s such a subjective point. The GoPro footage is my least favourite when shot in the Natural colour profile because to me it doesn’t look natural, but if shooting in the Flat colour profile and grading it, then the quality is great, but the camera itself is let down by other aspects, especially when compared to the other cameras.
As for Pocket 3 vs the action cameras, the Pocket 3 no doubt has the highest quality, but some people prefer the wider fov of an action camera for vlogging over the narrower fov and shallower depth of field of the Pocket 3 (this includes me in some situations). Again, no right or wrong answer, just personal preference.
@@TamaraGabrielUK Thanks for your response. Some excellent points.
It's a great pity that DJI haven't managed to put the pocket 3 camera system into an Action Camera.
It's so frustrating that I still love the look of the Action 4 over the A5. Whenever I see a comparison blindly I pick the action 4; 95% of the time. Not the 5.
I also don't understand the word Pro. I feel they should have given the Action 5 Pro D-LOG too. Better dynamic range deserves D-LOG. Like the Mavic product line. Would make more sense to me. 😊
maybe it's the UA-cam compression. I've seen others sample on auto and they all look on par with the X4 except the low light. However, overall the day time footage looks similar. Even the 8k on the pro 2 looks worse than the OP3 4k.
Great content. It’d be great if you could share original resolution/ quality files so we can see ourselves. Would love to see some examples of photos out of these cameras as well. YT downgrades the quality on their platform.
wow, same here before you revealed, eyes don't lie: ace pro2 and action 4 are the best
All my videos on youtube shot by iphone
Definitely the Action 4……..a year on and it’s still the best action camera you can buy !! I’d never buy a GoPro ever again and not interested in a camera with a flip up screen and the picture quality on the Action 5 Pro looks shite and I have no use for a depth gauge lol
😂
I will never change my OA4 to OA5P. It has everything correct. And even my grand father knew that if its dark turn the lamp on. He was electrician when electric wires first time came to my country.
Will you pls make a video comparing Ace Pro 2 vs Pocket 3 as well? It would be interesting to see the low light performance of AP2 against Pocket 3
Yep!
@@TamaraGabrielUK made my day, Thank You! ☺️
GoPro user here since hero 6. One thing that frustrates me about gopro is I have to remove the sd card and used a card reader to transfer RAW photo to my MacBook. Does Osmo or Insta allow you to transfer RAW photo by just connecting USB cable to your MacBook? Thanks
Yep, no need to remove the SD cards from those cameras.
wow I mixed the action4 and insta360, when I answered and indeed they look a like
Action 4 !!!
first impressions : 1 and 3 for me
I don't know why Action 5 looks worse than Action 4,,,I think ace pro 2 looks better.
Do Comparison Between Dji Osmo Pocket 3 vs Insta Ace pro 2
It's coming
What type of glasses do u wear?
Even Realities G1, got them recently and have been testing them out.
@@TamaraGabrielUK are they prescription glasses?
You can send your prescription in with your order, but I didn’t get my prescription put in.
@@TamaraGabrielUK they look pretty cool. I didn’t know those glasses can do all that. U probably have awesome electronics around your house. Do you have a loud stereo system also?
@@TamaraGabrielUK what do u think? Do u like them?
Let's be honest all 3 releases have been poor upgrades, they have really been minor updates , unfortunately this is gonna be more common with yearly updates, the jump from the pocket 2 to 3 was a real upgrade. They are milking it with these.
4 hours battery life, 47GB and 146g kill everything
True! Dont forget subject tracking 😊@@RocaTT1456coming from an action 2 and hero 10 is a huge upgrade.
@@myworldmivida4977 Let me guess, Gopro owner ?
%1000. prime example the dji air 3 took 3 years and worth every penny
@@myworldmivida4977 I think they are good upgrades. If you want to compare the Pocket 2 to the Pocket 3, it took three years to upgrade from the Pocket 2 to the Pocket 3. If you’re willing to wait three years for an upgrade on these cameras, you’ll notice significant improvements.
Action 4 is better during the day. The ☁️ and hdr look on the 5 is a bummer. Only would get it because of the dual mic setup. And audio is more important than slightly better video. Every tech device had a step down this year from cameras to phones.
I picked out 2 I liked most and oddly enough it was gopro and action 4
Ace pro 2 or action 5 pro 😊
is action 5 Suitable as a studio camera for shooting games on the tablet.. I don't want it to be blurry or focused
I'd say there are better options, but it depends on your budget.
@@TamaraGabrielUK i need it as action cam too
Yep that’s what I am looking for just pickup and shot until I learned more about editing 😂
AP2 for the win! don't know why the action 5 is always oversharpened
Keep up the good work
Action 4 ❤
I have action 4 in low light better use D log m Sutter speed 100 iso 3200 🙏
Dude, you have made the least annoying video on this subject. Thank you.
A4 100% looks better unless it’s lowlight. It’s like the A5 is over exposed or something. Hopefully they fix this.
For me the choices were - 4 2 1 3
i definelty am leaning towrds dji act 4 to the 5pro. apart from the low light is better on pro 5.... i'll just wait out tp see if they add more firmware updates to the 5 pro otherwise i'll stick to the 4
I really hope they do, because when the 'cartoon' look is fixed the Action 5 will be great all around.
@@TamaraGabrielUK yeah they did havea firmware update last week but still didn't fix the main issue. Dji looks better than insta 360 rs and most definelty Go Pro has gotten worst off!
@LifeCapturesOnce Yeah, I did a video about it, I saw no difference with the HDR look. Hoping for another firmware update.
Field of view is wideR on the ACE PRO2
It seems to me that ace pro 2 is out of focus, a clearer image on Dji 4 and 5
I am waiting for Insta360AcePro2 vs Osmo Pocket 3. To make my mind which one should I buy 😅
im your biggest fan. great work.
Thank you 🤩
: In every review of ACE PRO 2
the sky looks so saturated blue,
like the samsung 24 ultra....
2:42 - Ace pro 2 minimum focus distance, still outta focus.
A5 is sharper though.
Greatvideo
Nice 1 Tamara
