Yes, they really give the camera a lot of power and the footage it produces looks really, really good, as I'm sure you can see in the comparisons. Thanks for your comment!
Great review! It looks like an awesome camera. The screen is higher res, it has a removable lens cover (which I love, I’m so clumsy), and there’s a wind guard now too! Plus, with its low-light capabilities and 8K resolution, it’s probably the best action camera of the year IMHO!
Ive been a long time GoPro user, and I have really enjoyed GoPro since the 11. I currently have a 12, and returned the 13 as it wasnt any better than my 12. I will say the Ace Pro 2 has a lot of things to like about it, enough to where I might have made the jump this year - however, I have to have linear with horizon lock on 4k/60. I dont understand how other cameras cannot do this. This is a basic need for action cameras. I guess I will wait for Ace Pro 3 in 2 or 3 years. Until then, GoPro is still king.
I was sold on the Ace Pro 2 until I saw the field of view comparisons. For fast footage superview is a must, especially for motorbike footage where it's the difference between floating and actually being able to see the bike.
There is also a wider field of view called Action that is wider than Mega, but it does have more fisheye. Sorry I should have show this too- there's a lot to cover with these cameras 😉. But Action is similar to SuperView.
Which one would you recommend for bike footage? That’s the main reason I started looking into these cameras lol was thinking of mounting it on my helmet
I have noticed in other comparison videos that the Ace Pro 2 seems to have focusing issues with close up subjects, which is not a surprise since it features a much larger sensor. Can you confirm ?
Another excellent video! As always. I appreciate that you point out the good features of each as well as the weaknesses. I'm still plodding along with the GP 9 I bought after watching your videos and I'm mostly happy with it as my only camera but it does frustrate me at times as I'm sure others find out. I won't be replacing my GP 9 until it dies but I am very interested in the improvements and competition with other small action cameras. Thanks Jordan!
I’m very interested in the 8K video. My previous camera would become noticeably blurry after zooming in while shooting vlogs and it irritated me to no end. I’m sure that the Ace Pro 2’s smooth zoom and 8K capabilities will let me take my damn videos and zoom without making me want to throw it into a wall.
Yes, the 8k really helps with this and you can use the 2x Clarity Zoom in 4k to film a closer perspective as well. You won't want to throw it into a wall. Haha
Thank you for the great review. It looked clear to me that if you don't compare them side by side, Ace Pro 2 is the clear choice for most. But when you start to compare them, Hero 13 is better in daylight with better colors but struggles badly in low lights. Ace Pro 2 excels in low light clarity, but the colors are generally quite off. I am guessing it is the manufacturers trade-off that to give better low light handling, the colors got to go. Which means post processing and edit is needed if they bother you enough. So overall, Ace Pro 2 is probably still all-round better choice but will have to deal with the post processing if the colors bother you. But if there is no low light use case, Hero 13 (because there is nothing salvageable through vid editing if it doesnt capture sufficiently under low lights). Or ... hope for future firmware updates that strike a better balance in addressing their respective weaknesses.
Once you connect your camera to the Quik App, you should be able to transfer footage. Are you connected to the App? If you are trying to upload to the Cloud, you have to set that up using the App and a home Wifi signal.
can you pls make water test of gopro13 and acepro2 in away to see how hydrophobic coat works. will stay water drops on acepro2 when you splash? i had gorpo 12 and he done amazing job without waterdrops on lens. also gopro12 have great day light quality and solid night quality of movies. i receive refunding from gopro because of technical problems and i need to buy new one and i really cant choose between acepro2 and gopro. i dont think about dji action5pro because i think he is lower quality. can you help me pls to choose?
Я перед выбором экшен камеры смотрел обзоры разные и гопро всегда преподносилась как равная камера среди insta и dji, вот я и купил гопро и писец... Та же история что и с айфоном, обзорщики когда обозревают айфон, они преподносят его как равного другим телефонам, а когда человек который до этого не имел опыта с айфоном покупает его, наступает шок, от того насколько технологически айфон отсталый. Так и я с гопро 12... Угол обзора самый маленький среди конкурентов, начиная с сумерек заканчивая ночной съёмкой или даже съёмкой в помещении, видео просто не пригодно для использования.
This video is sponsored by Insta360 and they asked me to do an unbiased comparison between the two cameras so their customers could make an educated buying decision. I never once said the GoPro was better. I just showed you guys the differences and the features each one offers.
Absolutely, the video quality of the Ace Pro 2 in low-light settings outshines other brands. Dual chips are definitely the game changers here!

Thank you. I agree. It's really, really good. I was a bit surprised, even though the Ace Pro was good too. This one really steps it up.
Dude you need to tell me where you're shooting all of these videos. They look like paradise.
In daylight still GoPro captures better image its the low light where they struggle
Thanks for the feedback!!!

@@JordanHetrick Thanks for the update. Fisheye is just a fact of life when you cram massive field of views onto small displays.

Hi, love your videos. Any recommendations for dive torches for night dives?

I want to start my all india cycle ride for my youtube
Which one is the best for use sir
For filming mostly mountain biking and road cycling, which one is better without the need of much time in editing?
First👍.. Still no 10 bit broke my heart💔
Thanks for the comment! Yes, I would say that is one of the only downsides of the Ace Pro, if you are into color grading. But there is log color now.
Looks like GoPro videos are more natural. Can I use these cameras for vertical videos for Facebook and instagram? Thank you.
Do you have a beginners guide for the Ace Pro 2 ?
Thanks for asking! I will have one up within the next few weeks. Sorry it's not sooner. I'll leave a comment here when it's live.
@ Thank you👍🏼
Hi, which one would you recommend for moto vlogging by mounting it on a helmet or anywhere on the motorbike to get some good shots?
Great video Jordan, stoke to see the massive difference in the lowlight! the ace pro 2 is sick!
Thanks for the comment! The low light performance of the Ace Pro 2 is really impressive. It's a great camera.
Do you know why my new GoPro videos won’t transfer to GoPro quick?
Once you connect your camera to the Quik App, you should be able to transfer footage. Are you connected to the App? If you are trying to upload to the Cloud, you have to set that up using the App and a home Wifi signal.
@ I’m not trying to put them to the cloud just some of my videos won’t show up when I click on media on quick

Great review! The Gopro is much better under water.
Thanks for your feedback. I think it comes down to personal preference so thanks for sharing your thought!
Good stuff Jordan unfortunately someone stole my GoPro.
What a bummer! I hope you are able to get another one!
Just hate that there is no live stream option for the Insta360 as it is for the GoPro.
Cool !!!
I agree!
Nice
Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼
Hello, for me the GoPro has the better Image 😊
Thank you for sharing! It's great to hear what people think!
I just bought Insta 360 Pro and now they have released the newest version😢
The Ace Pro is really good too. Don't worry. You can always catch the next one. 👍
+$100 OVER the conversion rate outside the US???! Why? Now it only makes sense to buy GoPro or DJI
That is a bummer if that's true. Because in the US it's the same price.

Ace pro -Samsung
Hero 13 - Apple
I m indian
Go pro has natural colors
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
its a very unfair comparison
I'm curious what you would think is unfair about it? And in favor of which camera?
I tried my best to provide a balanced and fair comparison.
This guy he a GoPro guy he always said go pro better bro rip gopro
