I ordered the ace pro2, but I also have the new osmo a5p. Other than a few differences, they are very similar. I do like the "pause" feature in the ace pro lineup. Thanks for the review!
just got the action5 pro and stick to it. newest firmware update yesterday made it so much better at night plus we finally get 115mbit instead of 60mbit. fantastic videos
Can you please be more specific as to where the ace pro 2 is better? From what I gather ace pro 2 excels in low light and applying nd motion blur in timeshift (aka hyperlapse) videos. Anything else?
Great review! You’ve quickly become one of my favorite gear reviewers. Now that the compliments are out of the way, let's get down to business. I was really hoping to see a fully articulated 360-degree flip-screen, and the lack of 10-bit support feels like a missed opportunity, it’s 2024, after all! I’d also prefer 4K at 60fps over 8K at 30fps. Most people stick to 4K, and 8K just eats up too much storage without offering a huge quality improvement. Plus, the color balance in 8K seems a bit off. I think I’ll wait for next year’s model, but your review made the decision a lot clearer!
@@ZOMBiEmovieHD Yes, I do. For your benefit: you wrote a sentence with the structure I prefer A over B with B being a new feature. This implies A is another new feature you'd prefer over B implying A doesn't exist. You should really work on your English skills.
Trying to decide which of the the new action cameras will replace my GoPro 10. I lean towards to GP13, because I more familiar with the tech, but I look forward to learning more about the Ace Pro 2 before I make up my mind. We shoot family travel vlogs at 60fps.
Nice info, thanks! I did notice that at 5:29 in your video the clouds look over exposed on the Ace Pro 2. I wonder if your settings were the same on both cameras?
do you also experience fogging of the lens when shooting with the ace pro 2? it happened to me the other day when i was doing a night shoot. i thought it was only me but a while ago i saw another vlogger who also experienced the same issue with his ace pro 2. i know fogging happens in camera lenses but i have used other cameras before under the same circumstances and never experienced fogging.
I watch your videos mainly because you explain the features thoroughly. This time, though, I didn't hear you mention whether the camera allows manual adjustment of sharpness and noise reduction. Most people don't talk about that, but you used to. In this video, I didn’t catch it, so maybe I missed it.
You can adjust the sharpness but not noise on both cameras. I didn’t mention either feature because it’s not new - this video focuses on the new features on the AP2.
Hello, I would like to ask about it. I also bought ace pro2, and found that there was a rather troublesome problem. I tested time-lapse photography or spacing photography, shooting day to night or night to day, for example, I set a picture in 5 seconds, and then the exposure mode was M, manual ISO 100, and other aperture shutter color temperatures were fully automatic, but the ISO would be raised after shooting. The shutter is also used at an unnecessary height, resulting in poor picture quality. In fact, if the photo files taken by all modes are observed to have this problem, ISO100 is not locked, I do not know whether it is my operation problem or what, can you reflect this situation, thank you
Why did you NOT disclose that you had to send Insta360 the video for approval or how they sent you a “Video production brief “ outlining what to do and what not to do?
@@TechwithKenRobertson too emotional. I've been following this channel for some years. Watched gopro, dji videos and insta360 videos. I believe she just presents facts to audience.
@@travel4food4life That’s all well and fine BUT Insta360 has made ALL UA-camrs agree to the “Video production brief” telling her what to do, what settings to use and not to use, how the comparison video needs to look like AND she has to send Insta360 the video to them FOR APPROVAL before allowing her to post it. Seems VERY fishy and less than honest.
@@Gemini_Connect Thanks!!! Is this correct for both modes of horizon lock: the 360 rotation and also up to 45 degrees (if this submode exists here as it does on the gopro and dji cameras)? I hope the +-45 degrees goes up to 4K at 60 fps...
I just picked up the DJI Action 5 few weeks ago, was going to add a 2nd action camera, guess I'll be picking up the Insta360 Ace Pro2 now. Just want options for capturing my active 4yo and 2yo boys running around. Thanks for the comparison.
I love that it comes with 2 batteries but don’t like that it didn’t come with the nice little hard shell battery case thats been included when you buy their batteries separately.
Well Done again. Very thorough review. Cost? I'll be interested in your comparison with DJI Action 5 (?) and GoPro (??? No real interest with that one, just curious to see how bad GoPro has gotten). The B/T sounds rather pooh pee! Curious if it sounds better with "plug". Another thought is to record with LAV into a separate recorder than sync??? Based on what you've outlined. Hell yeah! When will this be available? Hope the baby is doing well! All the best to you and your family. Cheers!
Ace pro 2 low light have more noticable artifacts on trees. Well it's okay for in a pinch but sometimes you just gotta use another appropriate tool for it. You don't use hammer to split wood log even though it's possible with some creativity, you gotta use axe to get the job done with less effort
I really don't like the colors and textures, especially skin tones, coming out of both the new DJI and Ista360 action cams as they appear in your recent reviews. It's weird because I really enjoy and value your reviews and I am definitely potentially looking at buying an action camera to supplement my use of the Pocket 3 and the DJI Mini 3 pro (and the Sony FX30). But if these colors are what we get then it's not for me. Thanks for your great channel, I watch pretty much everything you publish.
I waited for the ace pro 1 to run it's course before buying the ace pro 2. You gotta let them work out the bugs and revise the mistakes they made on the first generation.
No 10-bit color, weighs heavier than competitors, no larger sensor, no cloud storage /upload and delete option like go pro, and this year one less "budget model" released. No significant updates from insta 360 at all!
Go pro hero 13 is a joke. The battery life is not measurable because it keeps overheating. In 60°F in a car with air conditioning on. And if you try to film in low light, it’s not even worth it. Everything is dark and blurry.
still gonna say dji action 5 is best.... this camera wayyyyy over sharpens and its log footage doesnt look good.... is it even 10 bit? gonna say this is a fail on insta360
Insta360’s video is closest to and could even beat the Pocket 3’s image quality. Action 5 video looks like it came from a phone’s camera with the deep saturation colors and weird unnatural skin look.
Absolutely loving the new sensor with the Leica glass-looks like a winning combo for fire visuals!
Yay ace pro 2 for the win love it❤
I ordered the ace pro2, but I also have the new osmo a5p. Other than a few differences, they are very similar. I do like the "pause" feature in the ace pro lineup. Thanks for the review!
It's a whole new ball game with that sensor and enhanced image processing. Plus dual processors? What a beast!
just got the action5 pro and stick to it. newest firmware update yesterday made it so much better at night plus we finally get 115mbit instead of 60mbit. fantastic videos
That’s great to hear! I’ve been impressed with the latest updates as well.
Still not better than ace 2 ;)

Excellent overall detail review I like the colors this new action camera Images overall look clean too Thank you for sharing
you are the only one who compare ace pro with ace pro 2. Thank you, I can decide now whether to buy the 1 or the 2.

Doesn't the ace pro 2 record at 4K60? Why do you imply it doesn't?
@@DanMcCain-f6w do you know what "prefer" means?

@@Gemini_Connect Great! I can't wait to watch. It's hard to believe I'm seriously considering leaving the GP universe.

Yes, they were the same settings.

I haven't experienced fogging on this camera. The lens filter is now replaceable though, so that might be cauding fogging for some?
Have Insta R twin edition, was thinking of buying DJI Pocket 3. Should I get Ace Pro 2 instead?
Hi, what do you think if the DJI1 microphone works with this camera because the DJI2 is very expensive
Thank for your time

Insta360 and Amazon both have had no Ace Pro 2 units for sale now for nearly a week. Do you have any idea why?
For the dash cam preset: wouldn't be better a 4k 60fps? Is this preset only in 30 fps?

Thank you so much! I'm disappointed on the compatibility of DJI Mic 2 sound quality (just ordered one). The rest looks really good and amazing.
Great review, thanks! Can Ace Pro 2 record continuously more than 29 minutes?
Yes
@@CAMTechChris Thanks!
did they fix the red skin issue?
Could u pls share ur opinions on weight and dimensions of Ace pro 2 in comparison to action 5 pro.

@@TechwithKenRobertson I have no idea about this. Did anyone reveal this with evidence?
Does the horizon lock work during 4k60 video capture or must it be applied in post processing only?
It works in camera when shooting 4K30 or lower.

I hope the +-45 degrees goes up to 4K at 60 fps...
Does the Acepro 2 have a "Line in" option like goPro?.

do you know if they are planning to add 10-bit color to the l-log profile?
I haven’t heard that, but I hope so!
Can the 10bit color be added as a software update?
can you connect external mics like the hollyland lark m2 just using the usb-c port now?
Yes.
10::33 Are you able to turn off audio recording in Dashcam mode?

Does it work with two DJI mics simultaneously?
It does not. Only DJI supports that currently.
Is the existing Insta360 GPS remote compatible with the 2 ?
Yes.
I actually found that your footage from Ace Pro (the original) looked better than that of Ace Pro 2
Est-elle disponible à l’achat dès demain
Ace pro 2 low light have more noticable artifacts on trees.

7:48 - Bluetooth mic audio quality test
It's about time too
Why no horizon lock in the pure video mode? Thats very disappointing
Compare it with go pro hero 11 & iPhone 16 pro max
I wouldn't say 10bit is that neccessary for me. In fact, for all social media posting, always 8bit.
wow,,, I like to have 1...but its too expensive

Nice your beautiful in your blue❤️
If u have ace pro one keep it
Still no 10 bit, only 8 bit.
and looks way to over sharpend.. stick with dji or gopro

Too bad you can't buy this cam anywhere, must be something wrong with it or production.
