This video deserves a downloadable cheat sheet summarizing all that you say for the different modes. Lots of info to get started with this camera. Thanks!
If anyone is interested I have started posting diving videos on my channel - be kind as I’m still learning to edit. The last 4 have been with my new AcePro whereas the previous few were with a GoPro Hero 11. The other notable change is that the AcePro is good enough in low light that I am not using any lights with it whereas my dives with the GoPro all include a modest level of additional lighting.
Thanks for sharing. I’ll check out your videos.
I've just received mine this morning. Brilliant video, very thorough and concise.
Thank you and hope you enjoy it.
Die Verpackung ist super - und gleich mit einer Schnellanleitung dazu, echt praktisch! 👍
Absolutly useful video! I usually just watch your videos first, and then go back and change my settings per your suggestions. Thanks!
Thank you! Enjoy your Ace Pro!
Thanks a lot! In my opinion, these are the best tips and tricks I've found for the Ace Pro. I'm sure - the manufacturer owes you money for this great work :)
Thanks a lot for this walkthrough! It gave lots of answers for this beginner. Saved it for later reference.
I appreciate your feedback!
Wonderful for us new buyers of this camera. Thank you very much indeed!👍
Thank you for your feedback. I really appreciate it.
Thanks a lot for this video! Super helpful
You’re welcome and thanks for your feedback!
Great deep dive. Love to have this for my night photography session haha
Thank you.
You do the best unboxing and setup videos that I’ve ever seen.
Thank you and I appreciate your feedback
You have covered many topics quite well. Watching from the PHILIPPINES and ready to move on from GoPro and their issues. Deciding between the Ace pro and Action 4 and this looks like a winner. I have heard the Ace Pro has some overheating issues and heat 25-32C 75-90F approx is always here.
Awesome video. I ordered mine today. 😀
Hope you enjoy it!
Fabulous info, I’ve just ordered my ace pro today, hopefully I’ll have it by Friday 22nd of March and no doubt I will revisit this video again 👏 thank you 🙏
So did you get it? Were you expecting it to be what you thought? Because I'm thinking of buying one in a few days.
@@rafaelcarrasquillo6415 I did receive it and I also bought the Insta360’s X4 when it came out. I was using it in Thailand which had a temperature of around 40degC which did affect the battery time and it did shutdown a couple of times due to high temperature. I bought the control selfie stick with it which is handy for starting and stopping the camera. I do very little selfies and I don’t use the camera for long videos, I take lots of short videos then I use the Ai edit function on my phone 360 to create a long video from the short clips. I have found it quite fun for me and I’m happy that I bought it. I have a Sony mirrorless camera with a selection of lenses so I use these for photography and anything that are at a distance that I want to zoom in on so I don’t really use the camera for photography. Depends what you want it for but I’m happy and pleased I bought it
Thanks for sharing your experience with the camera as well. Even though the Ace Pro has 8-bit video I still find the quality to be great with the Leica lens. For me, this helps offset the fact it isn’t 10-bit video. The night/low light capabilities on the Ace Pro are also great.
EXCELLENT and WOW just subscribed I just got mine and have probably watched 10x with all the rewinds honestly I just need 1 setting for filming events like boat shows/car shows indoor and outdoor im not techy so the settings is a different language for me any response from anyone I would truly appreciate it thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank You 👉
You’re welcome.
Thank you so much for the vlog. Could you please go thru the Timelapse settings i.e. the shooting mode for filters, shutter speed and etc. I think you have missed that, many thanks 😊
Yes I can. In fact, I have a dedicated video coming up soon that will go through all of this in detail.
Hi out there!
Thank you a lot for all your work!
I am buying the Ace Pro as my very first camera to track me and my dog Mantrailing. Do you have any suggestions for my video settings for this task?
I ordered the Belt with the selfie stick on the back position and the chest mount.
I would say most of the times we are walking fast or running a bit.
I am very interested in the body language of my dog, so I may want to have parts of the video as slow as possible and maybe zoomed in on my dog as much as needed or possible. We trail most of the times at daylight, but sometimes it could already be dark outside.
I think I would want Stabilisation and Horizon Lock. But i am not only new to action cameras, i am also new to filming in general.
So every starter hint is very welcome! Thamk you!
Which color profile do you prefer shooting at night in pure video? I'd love to hear more about how you color grade and correct ace pro footage?I'm using flat as you suggested. Trying to find the best process to color and then add luts
HI! Thank you for your beautiful and professional videos! I wanted to ask you that I tried to connect my DJI Mic via USB-C but they don't work. Is there a particular procedure? Thank you!
I really respect your content , so detail on products ❤.. can you choose for me between dji action 3 or ace pro? Im doing pov video
Does the Insta360 Pro camera compatible with the Rode mike?
Спасибо, очень информативное видео!
I can vouch these footage are not recorded by this camera
@mraesthetic4470 All sample footage in this video is most certainly from the Ace Pro using the settings I recommend.
Thanks for your great guide. Just a question, we have a RUclips channel where we make mainly walking tour of small villages of Italy. Which camera among GoPro 12, dji action 4 and Insta360 ace pro would you recommend for us?
Hi, can you tell me what settings you used in the woods, thanks
LOL. 16:05 your command started my camera recording on my desk :-)
😂
Hi witch do you think is better th Dji Osmo pocket 3 or Insta360 Ace pro .Great video thanks
Hi, thanks for this video. I just got this camera! you talked about the mic, do you think another bluetooth will work? or only same brand? Thanks in advance
Great question. From what I can see it looks like many mics that can pair via Bluetooth should work with this camera. This doesn’t guarantee all brands will function properly but it seems several Bluetooth mic brands have been reported to pair and work.
Can I use the FALCAM F22 Quick Release Kit for Insta360 that I use with my Insta 360 X3?
Nice walkthru, I'm very interested in the ND filter as a form of protection for that lens, some say the ND filter (UV) would deteriorate the image quality, would love to see the results of that. I've used ND filters and dive housing with mine actioncam and never had any quality loss issues. Thank you!
Thank you! If used properly, the ND filter should not deteriorate footage quality. If the exposure value is at 0 or slightly under exposed this should be optimal for the video quality. I will definitely explain how I use these with this camera in the upcoming video.
@@GreatDayForAHikeAwesome, thank you, looking forward to it. That's what I thought, I've shot DSLR in portrait studios for years and have used ND filters exclusively, never noticed any quality deterioration then again, I'm working with higher grade optics. I will put mine through that test once I get it also.
@damench22 You’re welcome. Yes, provided the ND filters are good quality there shouldn’t be any reduction is the quality of the resulting photos or videos.
Thanks for the video. Just ordered one, so I will be prepared when it arrives. Only remark is that the screen setting on your camera is too bright. Can’t see much at all.
I appreciate this feedback. I have implemented measures to ensure this does not happen again.
Hey when you're doing these tutorials which are extremely helpful, can you keep the screen brightness down low because its hard to see what you are doing. Thank you ✌️
Absolutely. I appreciate this really helpful feedback. Thank you!
@@GreatDayForAHike sorry for the constructive criticism. But I watch all your videos because they are so informative, especially when you report on all the new firmware updates and new camera tutorials. Keep rocking!
@swexplorer No need to be sorry at all. I do appreciate it. Thanks!
I totally agree. it is overexposed. Hard to follow the changes.
Yes, I have implemented a fix so this doesn’t happen in any future videos.
excellent...any more description on the Anker external battery? I saw a slightly older video that looked like you had recommended something else....need external battery this for camera on my fly fishing videos Thanks
Thank you. Yes, this is my favorite one right here: amzn.to/47TnuxD
In fact, I like it so much I own three of these now 😂 They’ve been great to own.
Do you recomend getting the Insta360 ND Filters? What about other manufactures ND filters for this cam, which are about 50% cheaper? Thanks!
This is a great question. The only ND filters I’ve tested for the Ace Pro are the ones from Insta360, which are actually made by Freewell. I have used Freewell ND filters for years on many of my action cameras, iPhones, etc and I like the quality and how well these hold up.
Other manufacturers may have perfectly good filters but I haven’t tried any of those yet on the Ace Pro. However, I have used filters from K&F Concepts and Neewer on other cameras and found both to be good for the price, so if you want to test out a lower cost brand for the Ace Pro, I’d recommend this set from Neewer: amzn.to/3vPQisB (looks like they have a coupon for these right now too).
I am deeply researching for an action camera for a couple of weeks but still not sure which one to buy.. Which one would you pick between Ace Pro, GoPro 12 and Action 4 ? It will be mostly used for motovlogs for trips.
- Ace Pro footage seems unrealistic and blurry to me sometimes but really good software for quick edit and fast charging.
- go pro has the best quality of image but battery charging might be an issue for long trips. Not sure about the editing since I haven't experienced.
- Action4 is in between but the quality of image is overall good but I heard software is not useful as much as others for editing.
What might be your conclusion on this for a first-timer action camera?
This is a great question you pose. I have used all three for recording while biking and all three can handle this task with no problems. If you want to edit on your smartphone all three do have software apps that can get the job done. However, if you are an Android user the DJI app may be more limited or not able to be used. I believe this is a GooglePlay Store issue but not sure of all of the reasoning.
If you value fast charging, the Action 4 is the best with this and charges from 0-80% in about 18 minutes. I also consider the Action 4 to have the most simple menu for new action camera users. In this video I share the settings I use on the Action 4 for bike riding.

@@GreatDayForAHikeI'm new in vediography and editing world.
As an Android user, insta 360 app is easy to understand and more friendly.
Which means I've got to buy Ace pro over Action 4...
The question is : For just walk n talk, showing landscapes, nature vedios, everyday activities where no intense action is done.
which is suitable? A4 or Ace pro ?
Thank you , can we shoot 360 videos on this cam? I am currently using Insta Twin R .
Great question. This camera will not do 360 video.
Thank you , i won’t upgrade then .
Hello friend, are there such text settings? this is sooooo useful
There should be captions for this video if you’d like to view it in that manner as well.
hello,i bought an ace pro,just received it an hour ago but still can't use the camera because when i turn it on it's stuck on an activation screen with my serial number at the bottom.
i dled the app connected the camera the first time over wifi using the 88888888 password then updated the firmware and now i can't connect it anymore because the 8 password doesn't work anymore so i can't use it at all.
if someone can help me that would be really great,thanks.
Hi, could you do me a favour? Could you check if the Insta360 can run without the batterie, only by an external power supply like a power bank . Because I wonder if I can run it also in a race car where it gets very hot inside. And so it might last longer, because the batterie doesn't heating up the inside electronics of the Insta360. Instead there will be air in the battery slot. Thanks for testing this.
I have tested this and the Ace Pro will run on this power bank I own without the battery installed: amzn.to/4b412Uk
I tested recording and recording also works.
so what does prue photo mode mean? They say shoot prue video for night shots, is prue photo for night shots only too?
Pureshot photo is simply the AI in the camera optimizing the photo to look as good as possible based on the shot captured. This is for general use and not specific to night shots.
weird, just got my Ace pro today. When I connected to the app, It didn't ask for a firmware update.
Maybe that one was shipped with the newest firmware update already installed.
I see youŕe setting up pure mode and freeframe mode. Are you able to use these 2 modes at the same time? Pure mode well using freeframe mode? Thanks
It would be great if these two could be combined. However, if filming in low light I’d recommend experimenting with which mode you like best. Since free frame mode has the gyro data it could serve useful in low light as you would not have the EIS motion blur jitter risk.
My understanding is gyro data is only available in the free frame mode and not in other modes.
@@GreatDayForAHike I will be using freeframe no matter what . So if I can't use pure mode with it but there's other settings to help bring good night light l, that might be ok still. Still sounds like it's the better option for night regardless over GoPro 12
hope they add exposure control to photo mode
Insta360 is pretty good about adding new features/controls via firmware updates so hopefully we’ll see this soon.
Just got hold of the Insta360 Ace and can safely say that the footage is horrific out of the camera. Watching other review videos and peoples faces are also not sharp and have an HDR / Ai Smoothing effect on them. Comparing it side by side with my Osmo Action 4 and the Osmo is way better. Sadly the Insta is going to have to go back.
It is important to ensure the camera is at least 16” away from the subject due to the minimum focus distance. I generally aim for 24” or a bit further back.
See Insta360 guidance here: onlinemanual.insta360.com/acepro/en-us/faq/specs/hardware
Minimum distance between the subject and the camera is osmo 4 ?
Hi I love ur videos but when you show us the step are a bit fast and ur screen on ur device insta was over exposures this is my suggestion. And 1 more question is ab app u used in pc what it name cuz m a new users. Thanks
Thanks. The Insta360 Studio app is the Insta360 specific PC app.
Do I need to format my SD card before using?
Yes, I do recommend doing so for the first time and then about monthly afterwards. Of course making sure to back up any needed data on the card first since formatting does wipe the card.
im watching this while waiting for the delivery guy to show up with my unit, I donate one other unit to a youtuber I watch alot of content from too for comparison.
Enjoy your new camera!
what sharpness settings do you use? low medium or high?
I use Low. I can always add a little sharpness when editing if wanted.
@@GreatDayForAHike is low sharpness better? I'm afraid if I add sharpness in post it might turn grainy 😅
My stabilization keeps turning OFF, and I don't know why. Sometimes it's ON, but usually, when I go back to setting, it's OFF. And I don't change anything. So far, I don't know if it's on or off.
don't you think that at 24 frames per second, any dynamic video is unpleasant to watch on a monitor and phone? How do you process if you have different frames in 16:9 (24) and freeframe (60), they don't even share? It would seem more logical to shoot 30 and 60 frames?
I like the look of 24fps but that is a preference and I know not everybody prefers that. 60fps can be dropped onto a 24fps timeline and be played at normal speed or slowed down to 40% of the original speed and playback smoothly.
But iso and shutter setting isn’t possible?
As a non techie and just everyday user with a GoPro 9. I use cinematic video and linear photos.. Everything looks great unfortunately my GoPro has big issues and not reliable at all. I’m over it was look8ng at this camera but the reviews form there are 50/50 at best ..
As an owner of GoPro, DJI, and Insta360 cameras I see each as having various pros and cons. If you’d like to learn more about where I consider each camera shines, check out this video: ruclips.net/video/mmK72Nu8v00/видео.htmlsi=C5Mfdsgt7zX3G8eq
why recomend 30 fps ?.. when do the camera moving it is choppy frame. WHY not recomend 60 fps ? it will be smoother when panning left or right in fast speed
Yes that is a fair point as well but it really depends on what someone is doing when filming in 30fps. If just talking to the camera with very little movement then 30fps is perfectly fine. If there is a lot of movement, especially side to side, then 60fps may be better. 60fps does create a larger file size and generates more heat, so those are both considerations that should be taken into account as well.
На стол надо класть тёмное, ничего не видно на эране. Спасибо.
Thanks! I am going to make sure of this in the future.
That is completely not acceptable that it is a must to activate the thing only via a Smartphone. That means you must have phone with latest SW. Otherwise your Insta360 buy is a loss on money. That is not acceptable!
It is worth noting that, as far as I am aware, all of the mainstream action camera brands require their app to be installed to activate their cameras. I’m not necessarily a fan of this but to be fair to Insta360 this is not just their company that requires this.
@@GreatDayForAHike Who else is does require this if not only the company alone? Do you mean the regulators/government is here active behind the scene?
Great question. I believe it is the choice of each individual company. Though I will note that GoPro has a work-around for activating that does not require their app. The other companies may have workarounds but if so, I am not aware of those.
@@GreatDayForAHike Correct, GoPro seems to have a manual work-around, but if I want the great sensor of the Insta360 I can only buy it used, as this kind of an unusual work-around, and hope that it will never reset itself, to run through the complete process again. It is at least a pain in the a...
@setonfire104 Yes, it would be nice if all companies offered a work-around that didn’t require the app.
The quality of this camera sucks so bad my 4 year old mobile phone camera looks better then this
I would recommend you stick with your four year old mobile phone camera if that looks better and meets your filming needs.
