Ultimate Insta360 Ace Pro vs GoPro - Mountain bike Night Test
Просмотров 1 тыс.8 месяцев назад
I've been testing the Insta360 Ace Pro alongside the GoPro 12 on some mountain bike night rides. The bottom line is the Ace Pro performs better in low light on almost every front. My main wishlist addition would be an option to have something like the Lens Mod 2.0 for the Ace Pro.. I really like that extra FOV for downhill racing. In the video you'll see I use the Magicshine RN3000 bike lights....

This keyboard looks amazing but my only problem is the Right Shift key being removed from the current versions. Makes it difficult to type some uppercase letters to the left side of the keyboard without having to turn CAPS on
Thank you for such detailed review! I see you have both mini keyboards: rii i4 and rii x8. Which one would you recommend more? I love that rii i4 can be paired by bluetooth, however, rii x8 seems more ergonomic to type and such. Which one do you prefer and why? I mainly will use it for typing notes when in bed, revising slides and do practice questions (multiple choice format). Which one fits better with this criteria?
Hi there, I have the version 2, I couldn't flash 2 boards and I don't know what is the reason. Any tip?
I hear it takes a second to sync. Would you be able to get into bios or the boot menu in time?
Hi, i’ve not had any issues at all.. I use the included dongle in situations like this rather than Bluetooth 👍
How do i flash with linux? Im running UBUNTU LINUX
I’ll bootup a copy and test it out 👍
@@techtonictim you talking to me
Subbed, I love the nano I purchased the 13” in space black with the Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard, disappointed the keyboard folio again doesn’t provide that high level of protection I need especially for a £2000 tablet, out of curiosity what case is that you use? All the best
I have a majorissue in that I try flashing the board but it keeps getting stuck at 24% complete or some other level of complete. It doesn't finish flashing. Edit: I just selected a slightly older build and it went through no problem. The most recent stable release just did not want to be installed.
Hi, I’ll go try that newest build on one of mine and let you know the outcome 👍 I can test from Mac & Windows..
It’s not a coating. It’s textured glass. Misinformation.
Where I am struggling is that of my 3 Heltec boards, I want to set one up as a router. Once I switched to that mode it ignored Bluetooth and I can't talk to it. I also wanted to know why my 3 devices do not show up on the Internet map.
Hi James, I’m working on a new video that should help with this.. in the meantime I recommend checking out Andy Kirby, he’s very knowledgeable on all things meshtastic and covers some of this topics 👍
How come my heltec devices are not recognized when I try to flash and update the firmware???
Hiya, what operating system are you using ? when I flashed from my Mac it recognised it straight away but from my Windows laptop I had to install a driver for the USB in order to recognise it.. the other thing is to try a different USB C cable, some only support charging and not data
@@techtonictim sorry for the long delay in between response. I was able to figure it out. I had to update the USB driver on my windows computer. You were correct. Thank you.
I just got the 1TB with nano texture I absolutely love it but I’m having a hard time implementing the iPad into my everyday life I am determined to make use of this iPad this year it’s one of my goals
Hi mate, do you know how many GB of storage is taken up by the IOS on the new M4 pro, not sure to get the 256 or 512 ?
Hi matey, version 17.5.1 which is the one on mine takes up 11.71Gb then it says a further 6.67Gb are used for system data.. I'd think in reality the 256Gb would give you ample as my iPad mini is only 64Gb and it's never been a real issue. Keep in mind you can add really fast storage via USB C for things like editing now. Use case comes in to it but my choice would otherwise be 256Gb plus Apple Pencil Pro and that would be about £70 less than the 512Gb.. you could get a good, fast 1TB NVMe drive and housing for around that. Hope that helps, Tim 👍
Great video as always. Love my iPad Pro and pen, I went for the keyboard as well which is expensive but acts as a case at the same time. Hope to see more videos from you soon.
Hey thank you Mark 👍 they are the best aren’t they.. and there’s plenty more videos in the pipeline
@@techtonictim pleased to hear it, the extra monitor is a great idea.
I bought the exact same model for the exact same reasons. Great video
Enjoyed the video thank you! Some other reviews say that the Nano-Texture screen makes reading text (like e-books) a little grainy and not as crisp as the regular screen. What are your thoughts?
Hi Steve, it’s an interesting one.. I definitely prefer the screen with the coating and it is more comfortable on the eyes however the texture does ‘feel’ like it’s a little less crisp but I can’t decide if that is down to the near zero reflection or not. I’ve taken closeup pics and it’s still super sharp, if anything it seems sharper than the glossy screen on the M1 iPad Pro.. I think it’s an optical illusion.. bottom line is I’d recommend it if you regularly use it in bright conditions.. I don’t use it for this but it would be perfect if you used it as a teleprompter for example. Cheers, Tim
Just got mine yesterday still wondering if I should’ve went nano texture I have the 13in 1TB but I was thinking I could have the glass dark blacks to watch movies/videos then slap on a Paper Rock Pencil screen cover / ESR screen when I’m looking to draw/design
Hi Bernie, I'm in a similar position on the size front ! wondering if I should of gone with the 13in.. I think grass will always be greener.. like you say, you can always add the PRP or similar later and at least you can remove it if you don't like it 👌Enjoy the new toy and thanks for taking the time to comment 👍
Great video keep up the good work!
Hey thanks Todd 👍
How do we make the sleep setting work? When mine goes in to deep sleep you can't wake it up. Have to reset it.
I have the power saving switched off in the App but screen blanking set to 15 seconds.. not had a sleep incident like that. Which software version are you running?
Must invest in one of those.. look fun !
Pretty sure this the thing to improve my life..when i am recording audio on my daw? Currently using a blue tooth mouse and keyboard...its a pain, in front of me on my desk i have a piano keyboard midi controller other gadgets, and a small area off to the right for mouse pad and mouse...the computer keyboard is always the odd man out. When I need to use it...its a pain, always ends up balanced on my knees. I think this would be perfect solution...about the size of a mouse pad...perfecto. good to see it gets a decent review..thanks mate, i think i will buy one.
Good explanation, glad I found your video on this. Heard it's been upgraded and you confirmed it.
Glad it helped.. 👍
How do you take a screenshot with it on linux?
No horizon lock on Insta360 Ace Pro?
Hi, they did do a firmware update in April that introduced horizon lock.. it seems to work well👍
@@techtonictim Yes, unfortunately horizon lock is not available in Pure Video mode. Perhaps next version, next year, I hope.
Hi great vid but I have the Rii i4 went onto my tv for gaming and tried to put the @ in to the address and could not get the @ on instructions it says to put to English version but does not explain , would you know how to do this cheers
Does it have a microphone? Does it have a quick-swap option for using it on multiple devices?
But there are problems with jiggling or bouncing edges.
Hi Adam, do you mean on the Ace Pro ?
@@techtonictim Yes. I tried different settings on mine, and this happens.
That light is extremely bright. This is not a good night test.
Its a comparison test between the Ace Pro and the GP12 under the same lighting conditions at night. I’ve another in the works where I compare several action cams used at night for steelwool light painting.. you might like to check that out in the coming weeks 👍
Is that action view on the ace pro?
Hi, yes 👍 sorry should have mentioned that
Nice test 👍
Many thanks 🙏 appreciated
Thanks for the comparison.. the Ace definitely has the edge in the dark. Be good to see the 3 alongside
I’ll upload an extended compare video soon.. have also got the ultra small Go 3 so will add that too. Thanks 🙏
I'm still going to get the expansion adapter (that has a cold shoe mount attached.) but thanks for introducing me to Black Tak it's really helpful.
You're welcome.. it's a great addition to the toolkit👍 I'll probably go the same route and get the adapter, would always be useful. Thanks for commenting.. cheers, Tim
This was a rather pleasant viewing experience! Subbed my good sir, have a good day!
Thank you for the kind words, that’s appreciated 🙏
That’s so neat to carry about for emergency use if the or keyboard fails 👌 thanks 3:16
The latest revision of the i4 model does have USB-C, whereby the older revision prior to around May 2023 uses micro USB. You cannot tell by looking at the box. Some US resellers on Amazon and eBay still sell old stock with the older revision, so be aware of that, if the charging port matters to you.
Great thanks Jon thats worth knowing 👍 its a proper gem of a mini keyboard
I've been using mine for 6months, so far has been really good. Is it possible to add firewire ports?
Hi, sorry only just seen this message 🫣 your best bet is probably a usb to firewire cable from somewhere like Amazon.. have used these in the past to get footage off an old DV camera 👌
@@techtonictim no worries, it's for midi, decided to buy a separate system for it, 😁.
Does it support CEC?
Does it have a power light to indicate the unit is on?
Hi David, yes it does.. it’s within the power button towards the top right of the front
Fast enough for Nextcloud? I want a very fast server.
Will windows 10 or 11 would be better.
Have used both successfully.. now prefer 11 👍
Can I boot from a regular SATA SSD instead of an NVMe SSD?
Hi Alex.. yep, no problem 👍
@@techtonictim Thanks for the reply! So I can just insert any 2.5” SATA SSD in the proper slot?
@@alexlandherr yes
@@RealMTBAddict Thanks! I’m saving up for one of these.
@@alexlandherr check out Newegg. You can do monthly payments.
Very helpful indeed thank you, can you show me your installation of windows step by step
Hi Michael, yes.. I’ll put a video together going through the steps. It’s pretty straightforward 👍
how do you audio connected on these please
Hi Malcolm, I use bluetooth speakers but it does have audio out or if your monitor has HDMI with speakers then that works.. oh and of course usb speakers 👍
@@techtonictim thank you but i managed to work it out
what is the M.2 storage size u using? as in the length? thank you so much for this video.
512gb 👍
thank you for a good video. Does PN51 has Bluetooth support as well or only WIFI ?
Hi, thank you 🙏 and Yes.. it’s got Bluetooth 5.0 (& infrared for a remote!)
@@techtonictim thank you
Nice, but I wish it had two M.2 slots and the option for a Ryzen 7 5800U processor.
How is the fan sound?
Hi Jeroen, well it does cut in and out but it’s surprisingly quiet.. definitely nothing like a typical desktop PC. You can also mount it on the back of a monitor which would help direct any sound away. Bottom line is it’s pretty quiet 👍 All the best, Tim
When browse or YT my 4700u is quite, but when playing game, its quite loud and annoying.
@@martinhyska1206 it's not meant for gaming
So you used a separate machine to download the setup files to the USB, correct? Then you put that USB into the ASUS machine's USB port with monitor, keyboard and mouse attached before turning on? Thanks for the information in advance and for the video too.
Hi Kirk.. yes, exactly that.. sorry I didn't cover that bit. Essentially I keep a USB stick up to date with the latest version of windows 10 for exactly these type of builds. Perhaps i'll do another video on that and all the other essential utils I keep on the USB stick. Thanks for watching and commenting, it's always appreciated.. Tim
@techtonic Since the video title includes both PN50 & PN51, I wonder if you know if all the I/O ports and the CPU location on the main board are the same. Thanks!
Hi Stephen, the I/O is essentially the same but the ethernet port is now faster at 2.5Gb/s plus it supports faster ram and larger capacity drive.. there's a great article here that delves deeper - www.itpro.co.uk/hardware/359555/asus-pn51-minipc-review-an-affordable-miniature-marvel - hope that helps
@@techtonictim Many thanks!
Thanks for the video. What RAM did you buy for that? Is it a different size? Looked smaller than some I have seen. Thanks again
Hi David, it supports Up to 64GB DDR4 3200MHz, 2x SO-DIMM.. these are smaller than what you might find in a typical desktop PC.. they're the sort/size you usually have in a laptop
Im confused. Did you have a copy of windows 10 ?
Hi Chris, you can freely download the latest version of Windows from microsoft using their media creation tool and then create an installation USB stick (or DVD) then use that to install windows 10. It will run indefinitely but you won't have a licence so will get a prompt from time to time in the bottom right of the desktop. You can of course go and buy a licence online (amazon / ebay etc) at any point in the future and there's pretty much always some great offers on those.. or even transfer a licence from an old defunct machne. Thanks for watching my video and commenting.. all the best, Tim
