@@EspenJohan I think people are complaining too much about the low light. Action cameras were made for something else but now seems that the low light capability is everything
On the action 5, what were the settings on shutter speed? Impressive there are no jitters. PS: You can dial down the texture and exposure and NR in supernight manually and it’ll be close to ace pro in terms of not being so sharp and artifacted.
If you guys are worried about skin tones, yall have to go full manual mode on the color temperature. The A5P seems to always lean towards a blue color. I found i had to go into manual mode on the color temp and match it to what my eyes could see. AcePro does the best with the natural color temps but makes mofos look pink. Just adjust the color tempwrature.
: In low iight, A5 sharpening is better than Ace pro... but kinda weird looking image. The low light capture from Ace pro is faar better than A5....the blue clouds though.💯
My favorite is the action 5 pro, but dji need to fix some small issues with updates. But they will👍. But I would wait maybe a week or two before you decide. Ace pro 2 should soon be out, so would be smart to wait. But I still think dji will be a better buy.
As I said, it's clearly a good camera for vlogging while running. Above 30 km/h, however, it gets difficult and the Action 5 looks pretty bad. I have 2 videos on my channel, one with the Hero13 and one with the Action5, unedited. Here you can see very clearly that the Action5 is not an action camera, just a normal small camera.
AP2 is not coming out tomorrow lol For a couple of reasons, it's a holiday in China right now and Insta360 by trend will give us teasers usually 3-4 days before it launches, there has been nothing especially for their biggest launch this year ;)
After what I've seen here I think I'll buy a GoPro 13. The image from the DJI is some kind of misunderstanding. These are sports cameras for sports, not for vlogging. Shooting sports scenes at night is a joke. Thank you for this video, it helped me decide.
action 5 is less noisy in normal mode, super night on action 5 is horrible for anything but pitch black footage, other than that stick to normal mode, its too processed and unnatural
Action 5 looks way better than Ace Pro in normal mode I agree 👍. Supernight mode looks good when the conditions are semi dark. But my opinion is that low light on any action camera is a gimmick. They made it just because of demand for it. I still think action 5 is a better camera than ace pro
Honestly I think the best combo is an action cam like the Ace Pro/Action 5 Pro/Gro Pro 13 for action type footage in good light.. as they are all rugged and can take some "abuse"... and then when in low light... use the Pocket 3 as it excels in that environment without the artifacts/jitter that action cams have in low light. It's of course more expensive/fiddly to have 2 cameras... but that covers you for pretty much every situation and you have something for inclement weather and rugged situations and also something for when you want to get the best image quality in less "action" oriented scenes. That Action cam + Pocket 3 combo should cover pretty much every situation and other than zoom type shots... should be enough for 99% of video needs. I guess for zoom shots a smart phone could be a 3rd option since most people have a smart phone with them anyway most of the time.
@@nexttothemoon1 Exactly what i realized recently after desperate mindset that i want 1 camera that does it all LOL. Will get the pocket 3 during black friday for a deal to go with action 5 pro
Great video, I'm a big Ace Pro fan with PureVideo but I will admit that DJI A5 did a phenomenal job with their low light improvements. Side by side, I think they are both equal as some areas the DJI did better and other areas the Ace Pro did better. Although some areas the DJI looks good, imo, I find they over sharpened/over exposed, I think toning that down a notch or two it would look much better and not 'fakish'. One thing though, I don't know what they did with the A5 but I'm a sky/clouds guy, A5's sky/clouds looks horrid even in daytime and even compared to the A4. I'm hoping this is due to the low bitrate which they said they will address in the next fw update. Will be interesting to see A5 SuperNight mode go against Ace Pro 2's generation 2 PureVideo.
Thanks for watching 😀, ace pro is a awesome camera and thats why I bought it. They both do a good job, A5 a little better. Dji will update the camera to fix the small bugs, they always do.
I have both (and I like them both) but the Ace Pro has two issues that make me not want to use it as much: 1) The DJI Mimo App lets me control the camera remotely in LANDSCAPE MODE, which you can't do with the Insta 360 App, which is a shame because it would be such an easy firmware fix; and 2) the lack of integration with a wireless mic system without buying an extra adapter which then makes the camera less waterproof (it just doesn't sound good with the DJI Mic 2 connected via bluetooth) and more cumbersome.
Hi, I agree with you. Both are excellent cameras and do the job. But its just easier with dji camera. I dont use Ace pro often, I just trust dji cameras more. Thanks for watching 😀
i belive in extreme dark conditions osmo action 5 exposes the scene better and brighter but also make it look unnatural. insta 360 keeps it little real not very huge difference but true to life colors maybe.....but colors cab be tweaked. however i feel insta 360 is more Sharper in some area and osmo ac 5 in some. but i made my mind osmo action 5 pro is the way to go. battery life is crazy good. i have one question though. i plan to record normal vlogs with it and some motovlogging. should i get standard combo or adventure combo. the price difference is huge for me in india. please give some insights. i don't usually shoot more than two hours a day but you never know. will buying a new battery in future make sense or getting the adventure combo right now as we also have fast charging.
Dji Action 5 is the best overall camera, and they will fix it with firmaware. If you can afford the adventure combo do that. But the battery life is like you say crazy good.
Action5 is better, for me.. Sharper looking image. You can always tweak it down to your liking if the sharpness is too much for you. Plus more details in low light. Ace Pro looks soft and out of focus.
the Ace Pro is just killed by the lack of close focus any time it is used for vlogging. as for the low light the action 5 actually did better in the early stages of low light but then starts to fall apart with oversharperning and noise as it slowly gets darker. being honest? ace pro isn't great either, but it does a better job of both making the scene look like the ambient light really was and covering up the distracting noise with strong denoising in camera. I'm curious if what appears to be some lens and field of view changes rumored for the ace pro 2 have to do with eliminating the problem with close focus...
mmmm, I don't think so, according to the "leaks" it doesn't seem like it's going to change too much either. If Insta 360 doesn't apply 10-bit color depth and doesn't abandon its artificial style, I doubt it will surpass DJI, which will surely update the A5's firmware quickly. I also think we're asking too much of cameras that were definitely not created for professional use, no matter how PRO their manufacturers tell us they are.
@@osomax We will see very soon.This week. Its not about pro stuff. Its about video quality that can compete to full dslr cam or camcorders. At this moment despite 4k the image quality of all action cams has still kind of digital look compered to camcorders where you can get nice cinematic and soft footage. If you know what I mean. And every one wants nice soft-cinematic video quality in a small action cam. its not there yet but everybody waits for it :)
@@lzkedcke8358 Action cameras are designed for action. So if you need a soft-cinematic video you'd probably go with the DJI Pocket 3, which has a bigger sensor, a gimbal and is better in low light without that "digital look".
will see, for me is ace pro unusable. Their fov angle is not good for mtb, is little bit smaller than gopro superview but i hope in ace pro 2 increase the action view angle.
Great side by side. I’m a fellow reviewer of the action 5 pro and have been I underwhelmed in some aspects, and impressed in others. My used case is running in low light, so very relevant video for me 1) the Ace pro WB is awful compared the the 5 pro. The ace pro looked like the tint was way off but the 5 is great. 2) when the light go very low the ace pro stabilisation was slightly better. 3) image was better for the most part on the Action 5, but I expect the Ace Pro 2 will push the 5 much harder. 4) both look over sharpened but not too terrible in your video. Great job. I will be taking out the Action 4 and 5 pro side by side on my early run tomorrow and will post results in the next week or so 👍

Ace pro is a great camera, overall action 5 is a little better. Thanks for watching 😀
You mean it has higher contrast caused by more limited dynamic range. The clouds were total fake purple colour in lowlight on the Ace Pro.
Excellent tests, thanks
Thank you 😀
Thanks for the honest review. I'll wait for the dji firmware to decide which one to buy
