Insta360 Ace Pro for Motorcycling - why I dumped the GoPro
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- As a long time user of GoPro cameras (10 years) I have reached the limit of my patience. I am switching to the Insta360 Ace Pro. But it's not for the reasons you might think!
In this video we will have a look at my experience as a moto vlogger and how it's the small details that makes the most frustration and kills the flow when riding motorcycles.
Specially in trips when you are a group of riders and you don't want to ruin the experience of the actual trip.
This video is NOT sponsored in any way.
I tell you what I think, and I know someone who will tell me what HE thinks after this video :)

Good video - I use the DJI Osmo 4 and have never had those jitters Thomas showed. I believe that's the setup for Runa is as well; her videos look solid. Insta360's are making some good products as well. That flip screen is pretty innovative. I also agree that there are too many issues with GoPro. I look forward to the camera battles to come with the big Norwegian.
Cheers 😊
The DJI Action 4 does not need a firmware update to fix the low light stabilization, you just how to know how to set it up for low light. If you want a turn it on and forget it camera the Insta360 is great, however IF you want better quality then the action 4 is the way to go IMO. I own all three GP, DJI, and Insta, so I am not really biased. They each have their own use cases.
Thanks for the input 👍🏻it makes sense.
Agree, M1R0 Life through a lens made a couple of very nice guide explaining now to set it up, was quite useful for me. Even though it took some time to figure out and test what works best.
how about the insta360 X3 ? :)
I would like to ask you since you have all of them tested, is DJI or Insta better at showing the angles of a mountain trail than gopro?
My gopro 12 actually overheated in norway at 4 degrees celsius after filming for 40-50 minutes
Oh wow
Hahaha, great video Tjommi... and for the first time in my whole career as a "RUclipsr" I really want to become a keyboard warrior 😂🤌🏻 There is so much to nit pick on I don't know where to start. Argh! The perfectionist in me are screaming right now 🙈🔥🤣 Game on my friend, there will be a follow up on this one, I just need this damn winter to go aways so I can bring out the beast (or Dolly Parton in your eyes) 🤩🙏🏻
People don't care about my camera thoughts... they are here to watch the fight!
@@NomadSweden i’m a bare knuckle champion in this household! So you watch out «boy»
@@tshansen! Be open for some teaching of the belt grading Robert @NomadSweden holds. We're looking forward to the footage to come! 🤩
Go get um tiger!!!
@@bjornonwheels the only belt that guy holds is the one around his waist to keep the pants from dropping down 😂😂🤩🙈🤪
As you said Rob, the image and quality isn't an issue. Hasn't been since like the hero 7 or so. What I'd like is a smaller camera with excellent battery capacity. Gopro was onto something with the session in my opinion. Put a little cage on my new Action 4 and it's now heavier than an exc 500!!
Haha word
Hi sir I am from india and I am also a moto vloger and facing the same issues with go pro. I am also going to purchase insa ace pro and thanks to your vlog to clear up my doubts 👍🏻
Thanks!
Wow thanks a bunch 🙏
Can you use an external battery pack if you wanted to?
Yes
You dont need the media mod to use external mics on GoPro.... SMH
Show me something without bluetooth please
OMG!! The MJ Fox comment got me. 😂 You're wrong, bro, but I laughed.
Yeah I was out on a limb there :)
500$ ...hel no
I also ditched GoPro last year. It was super unreliable. Randomly freeze, corrupt SD cards. Now use DJI and touch wood it’s been great!
Great 👍🏻
delar den också upp video filerna som gopro? min gopro lämna jag tillbaka. efter som jag tröttna på att den dela upp en 10min lång video. till 4min 2min 10sek också vidare!!! så man fick sitta skit länge för att hitta alla filer så det kom i rätt ordning. undrar om insta kameran kör en fil på 10min
does it also split the video files like the gopro? I return my gopro. after I get tired of it splitting up a 10min long video. to 4min 2min 10sec also on!!! so you had to sit for a long time to find all the files so they came in the right order. wondering if the insta camera runs a 10 min file
Osäker eftersom jag aldrig filmar ett klipp så länge. Men tror den delar efter ett visst antal Gb lagring eftersom filerna inte får vara hur stora som helst.
I landed here as I'm planning to likely ditch my GoPro. Too many instances of Media Mod not being recognized. I found that I think the external battery pack is linked to when my Media Mod glitches. So tires of dealing with it.
I wish they would offer an option on the GoPro, or any other camera for that matter, to be able to mirror flip the front display so that it shows up right way around when you check it in the mirror. Seems such an easy thing to do in the software but no one does it for some stupid reason.
For the problem with stopping the recording. You can voice command or gestures to command the Insta360 Ace Pro to stop recording (For normal recording with complicated scenes like multiple people, gestures could accidently recognize others as the command to stop, but I highly doubt such to be the problem to Motorcycle riding).
Problem is that hand gestures do not work when it’s facing forward on my helmet. And voice is not good because we talk all the time plus wind noise. Button works
One way for you to solve the issue with stopping your recording due to your thick gloves is to use the voice prompts since you connect your ace pro to your intercom. Cheers!
Sorry but voice command does not work while riding the bike. It’s too noisy
Thanks Robert. I love competition to make better products for us consumers. I've sticked to my old GoPro 7 black, because it worked, it didn't freeze/overheat. But now I bought a DJI Action 3. Cheap at the moment, long battery life, I don't need low light, easy to record your voice. Will try it out soon. Got this DJI pro tip from The Patched Bandit. I don't need the best camera, only one that's better for me than the GoPro 7 black ;-) Happy days, Günter/Nürnberg
Video quality is never most important. Making good stories is number one 😊
I dumped GoPro a couple of years ago for the same reason: A good but buggy and unrealiable system. Moving to the DJI Action 2, 3 and now 4 has been a completely different experience. Reliable cameras with an excellent user interface. Paired with the DJI Mic and now Mic 2, the complete system is a joy to work with. I tried the Ista360 and dumped it due to the crappy image quality and workflow. The low light performance of your new AcePro leaves me a little envious, but for optimal image quality in low light, I will always rely on one of my amazing (but not very pocket packable) full frame Sonys - the A7 or FX. As always - cudos to you for your brilliant story telling. The best in the business, what ever gear you apply to the task. See you on the trail, Robert.🌲🍻🔥
Thanks for the the feedback! Indeed the bulky cams can't be challenged in any scenario. I brought it on the Africa trip, but not sure I will carry it on trips. We'll see. And thanks for the nice words!
I had the Insta360 then switched the the Action 3&4 because since they have Timecode - which is really handy to sync 2 cameras. The one big issue of the Action 4 is the unreliability of the external Mic connection. Everything else is good, I only had jitters when using ND filters
Thanks for your feedback 👍🏻
Regarding your last problem you should simply use the voice command to start and stop recording or shutdown the camera. It's less hassle than pressing your camera on your chin mount. You can even use the voice command on the go without stopping 👍
Wondering is the insta cam has no voice control like gropro? On gopro it works very well "gopro stop video", etc...
It has voice and gesture command but i rather push a button
I glued a little rubber nub onto my insta 360one Rs camera record button because gloves made it hard to feel it..
Nice tip :) thanks
Thanks for the video. I am thinking to buy this cam but I need to ask you what happens if you use the cam without added microphone. the noise of the wind is too anoying? thanks
If you ride a motorcycle the wind noise will be the only thing you hear.
Good vid Robert. Glad there are more choices out there. You guys need a ggood VHS recorder to appreciate video life today.
Would be awesome to make Nomad channel purely VHS. You got me thinking :D
when I was going to buy my first gopro, I had read on the internet that they "freeze", there are a lot of "bugs" with them, but I thought: it can't be that bad.
so i bought a gopro and drove home, so i unpacked it and started using it. After only 5 minutes it froze.
I packed it down and drove to the store and returned it and bought a Dji osmo action instead and it has worked flawlessly
Indeed. It could be the best camera in the world, but if you can't trust it...
@@NomadSweden yes and I see that GoPro’s problems made other cameras like insta 360 and the Dji cameras better and those cameras are much more reliable and I will soon buy the insta 360 for the 360 view😊
do you know that ? you dont need a media mod if you have a intercom + Gopro 12 combination ? You can pair them and use your intercom as a microphone.
Yes The other cans has that too but it had many probblems.
1. It needs to connect every time I turn the cameran on with quick start.
2. Does not capture what I hear in the intercom
3. Isolated only voice, no ambient noise
Hi question is the adapter you plug in the side waterproof .
Many thanks
Ro
No not waterproof as in submerged. But a little rain should be ok
I am 100% agree with you. I havea long term experience with Gopro (fevery model from the 960p since nowl) I had a lot of issues with all recent models from Hero 6 to 11. Also i had a. few DJI Osmo Action 1 & 3 and Xiaomi YI models but in the end, i discovered that i have the Stockholm syndrome with Gopro :) I hope i'll get cured soon :)
Best regards from Romania !
Haha indeed the Sthlm syndome can be tough :) Cheers!
a very good explanation and very recognizable problems with the GoPro and the media mod. now the only down site, thick winter gloves and turning off the camera. can you connect a remote control like gopro has? Then that problem is also solved.
We are also considering changing camera’s because of all the problems with our GoPro. 🙋♀️🙋♂️🏍️🏍️
Indeed. Remote is available. GoPro is a great cam, when it works 😊
@@NomadSweden that for sure 😂
I thought you can connect to your intercom with Bluetooth and record all the conversations with the ace pro and insta x3
It only connects the microphone as far as I know. It works like a bluetooth microphone, so the group is not heard. And I do not trust the blietooth connection to always work when I turn on the camera. Cable is always working :)
AND the intercom mic is usually very isolated so you hear only voice. No engine...
Why didn’t you go with the insta 360 ace?
Pro has a much larger sensor which is mor light sensitive. But ace is a nice ceam too
It seems, there is a better handling on the Insta🤔, but how is the quality of filming?
All new cameras are good quality
Gopro is like Apple - people love it even when they are kick by it. You cannot fight with love:)
😂❤️
Hi. does it have a quick capture ou quick start mode like the Gopro?
Yes, this is a must for me
Hey, Robert! In one of your videos (not sure it was this one) you did mention about carrying a hard drive with you to backup all your videos. Quick question on that: how do you manage to move your data from the micro disk to your external hard drive without carrying a laptop with you (or do you?!?🤔). Thanks, mate!😊
The drive i had (djo co-pilot) had a card reader bulit in. Unfortunately it is not sold anymore but there may be other solutions now
@@NomadSweden reads like ("had a card reader..") you are not deploying that device any longer? If so, how do you handle the flood of footage data these days on your longer trips? Taking a bunch of SD-cards with you?
@@uwestieneker7565 Indeed. I have multiple SD-cards and guard them with my life.
@@NomadSweden cool! In that sense I will adopt. Agile you must be, according to master Yoda…😉
Michael J. Fox - Picard face palm. Fucking Brilliant!!😂
Great pro and cons on new Insta360 Ace. Looking forward to see the new camera in action
I went out on a limb on that joke 😊cheers
All the other problems you mention with the gopro are valid but... I'm already sending back my second Insta360 One RS for overheating issues. I wish there was a solution for this but all the action cams seem to have this problem in high resolution (there's even a comparison video in youtube with DJI, Gopro and Insta360 for this!). I don't know how long you have used yours but don't rush to sing its praise yet.
Over heating is a problem for sure. I only know what I have seen in tests from sponsored reviews that the ACE Pro does not overheat as easily, but I will found out. Indeed I switched from a problematic GoPro that I know to a completely unknown Insta360 Ace Pro. It solves the problems I had, but who knows what new problems I got :) Will give a long term review this summer.
Image quality matters bugger all when the damn thing turns off and doesn't record 😂 yeah, screw gopro!
That's my thoughts as well :) cheers
Now?! When I not even 50% with my GoPro12 installments :/
The problem with youtube is that it is primarily a marketing/influencer channel. So everything had be be measured in that picture, and that is an individual responsibility. More and more I recognise that both women and men often get unlimited access to a motorcycle, and are paid to whiz around aimlessly and without meaning, but anyway then we get to take beautiful nature with us, and that's how it is. By the way, have gone back to Gopro, because of the excellent image quality. Small hazzels I can live with.
Ahhh, Film Time! I'm in the market for a new action cam. I'm actually action cam less in the moment. The Go Pro i had was into too much adventure so to speak... Interesting Rob! 👍...And You know that Tjommi will battle with postprocessing features, replaceable lens protection and so on. Such a videographer he is, he will look for specifics 😂🤌🏻 I'm happy that You Tjommis are the beta testers and learn. 💪🤠🔥
I do not envy you. One has the Ace Pro and one has the GoPro... Now you have to pick a side. Who is your tjommi!!??
@@NomadSweden 😂 Not sure yet! Want to see Thomas take as well. It will get down to features i think is most important, and I habe got an idea ☝️😁💡
Judas!!!!!! 😂😂😂
Keep calm, could be greece instead 😂😜@@tshansen
@@Braapncamp That is a good point. 😂
Did you try to use it in cold conditions (below zero degree)?
I used it alomst a full day on one battery in 0-3 degrees.
Robert, i´m sooo with you with that Gopro mediamod batterychange issue. I even couldn´t believe first when i got it, how stupid can one be to develop such a crap! You don´t even get the same camerangle again when switching those batteries.
But after thinking a while over it i came to another workaround solution. I mounted that bracket coming from the helmet to the side of the mediamod where it has its cold shoe for flashlight or something. This works quite fine, no screw to undrive, just open the mod, thake the camera out, change battery, back in and everythings fine. Way easier but still, if they are continuing like this it will have been my last Gopro.
Cheers Christian🤙
That was a clever solution I didn’t think of. 👍🏻
It's waters proof?
Yep 👍🏻
more important, is personal preferences.
If other action cam brands had everything that gopro has and the 3.5mm port then I would not buy gopro.
Except for the GoPro is has a bugs that freeze and lost footage on new models, I don't think I would buy it.
but i still use gopro 7. it's perfect .
I tried dji's action cam, but I still go back to my old gopro
Indeed so
Cool review. Thank you 👍
Cheers!
Can 2000% agree with you. I had 11 gopro cameras....they all did shit tonns of errors. Was always on gopro because was easier to sell them and I resell small holder pieces. They (gopro) scam people. Other brands make less errors and are cheaper too. Way to go.
I hope this one delivers. But it wasn't cheap :)
You do fantastic content can only prais you very high as content and as person you show great in your videos and on tours...I wish for you and for us (viewers) that all will work there perfect, technik wise. Content wise it works excellently from you.
Hi Robert! Great video again :)
What mount do you use for you action cameras on you Klim krios pro? I have the same helmet, I'm about to go ride in Morocco and I really want to capture some nice images. I just don't really trust all the camera mounts I find online on some questionable websites :'D. I do know I can trust you when it comes to any type of buys for riding :p
It's made by bits and pieces from GoPro so not sold as a mount. You can see it here ruclips.net/video/48D4dc9nT_c/видео.html
@@NomadSweden you really are the best ! Thanks a lot!
Fantastic! Thanks! 👍
The one thing no one seems to mention about the GoPro is the focus issues as observed from a viewers prospective. If I watch on any thing larger the a phone The GoPro footage is continuously out of focus. The GoPro videos footage constantly hunts for a object to focus on. I did not see these issues with the GoPro 3-4-or 5's but every GoPro since has that issue. The image is so annoying I have unsubscribed from many of the You Tube channels I used to watch regularly. I also do not watch the Insta 360 footage, it is very annoying having to view curved video footage.
One thing i like about the Insta is the ”dewarp” mode which I use. It makes things less curved. And no channel should use only one camera 😊
I still don't like how the Insta looks, is like they are no definition in certain points, don't know if there is some configuration or something, but i'm sure that i've seen a lot of tech reviews were the gopro, the osmo and the insta are compare and the osmo and the gopro still looks better... don't know if there is some kinda movement against gopro or some affiliate program from insta of some sort... but... i don't know... and i'm being 100% honest.
Nothing is objectively better. It’s all up to peope to like what they like. As mentioned I do not get any money for this. I lost money 😊
Hey, Rob! Great video again. I‘ve pulled the trigger as well on the Ace Pro. What magnetic mount are you using on your helmet please?
Thanks. The mount is just bits and pieces from gopro original links. Check my video on intercom for a closer look
The lens is not replaceable on Ace Pro. I took a rock on mine and broke the lens on the very first ride. 😬
Ah that’s bad luck right there. You can change the lense with some DIY and Insta360 also launched this service www.insta360.com/blog/news/free-lens-guard-repair-insta360-ace-series.html
Tänkte fråga om kameran i din förra video men så kom den här upp, är själv väldigt nyfiken på den. När du pratar med Stewe vid 6,10min in i din förra video så noterar jag att du är lite suddigare än Stewe och ändå tycker jag att det ser ut som du har kameran längre bort än 40cm vilket jag uppfattat ska vara närgränsen. Såg en video idag om att det var nån dålig batch och att man kan få en utbytt. (sök youtubern photorabz)
I samma video, 8,52 till 9,06 så tycker jag att det ser lite jiddrigt ut fast det inte är så mörkt, hade du nån speciell inställning då eller var det mesta i auto?
Tack för bra videor. 🙂
Ja jag har ju faktiskt bara använt den en gång :) så jag kommer hitta lite mer egenheter. Men en stor grej jag gjorde fel var att jag hade på HDR hela tiden. Det ger kalasvideo när det är läge för HDR, men det funkar inte bra när ljuset blir sämre. Och jag sköt som sagt hela videon med HDR på. Nu ska jag ha HDR avslaget hela tiden om det inte r något bra läge. Jag testade normalt ljus utan HDR här hemma och det blev avsevärt bättre. Nu startar säsongen snart så jag kan testa mer.
Tack för svar. Nu får du ut och åka igen utan HDR. 😄
Very interesting video, thanks for sharing 🤩! New subscriber here ✊. I come from flying fpv quads with GoPro cams, first the Hero 8 and now Hero 11 due to the better chip. The only thing I learned so far was : use original batteries - they are expensive but run much longer and more reliable. I stabilize with Gyroflow - this works excellent. I just made my first recordings with the GoPros on my bikes and I‘ll keep your recommendations in my mind - maybe I‘ll follow you when my first bike season with action cams is over. For me it’s also a question how many systems I have to manage. I fly fpv with analog and digital gear and use action cams like GoPro - DJI Action 2 (less weight) and Insta 360 One X2 … 😮💨😵💫. Always new stuff in these demanding (and addictive) hobbies (riding bikes and flying quads) 😂😉
Thanks for sharing 😊🙏
Hi Robert, how about using the remote to stop/start recording? Also, the biggest improvement over other action cameras that I have seen is way better angle perception on hill climbs/decents. You can really see the inclines with this camera.
The button works with normal gloves but perhaps i can get the remote. Will be interesting to see the angles you mention when I get that far.
After watching this video it feels a bit like Thomas Hanssen will be bringing one of his handcarved wooden spoons to a gunfight...
Haha I am ready for him
Hahaha, i never use more force then needed to win a fight 🤪🤩
@@tshansen I have my popcorn ready!
Hi Robert, i use a Drift max pro camera, which uses a brand new hardware now (i used all the old models to in the past), and this one is really good, 3,5mm audio input, easy to handle in any gloves, easy to take on/off, extreme long run time whit one charge, it is designed to be a helmet camera. The dowsides are not the best in low light, and the stabilisation is only good enough. But i like it.
Interesting with other not so known brands 👍🏻
Plötsligt flera RUclipsrs som förespråkar Insta360. Slump eller?
Nja många RUclipsrs får den skickad till sig när det lanseras något nytt. Jag har köpt min och hoppas den är bättre men har mycket testa de att göra.
I ditched my GoPro last year for the Insta360 3x. I love it. I’ve been trying to use it as my only camera. It’s great for shorts but the reframing for longer films is a chore. So based on my positive experience of Insta360 so far and your video I think I’m going to get an AcePro too. 👍
Also a happy X3 user. I use it as a great complement. But it needs to be edited carefully. We have all seen too many "tiny planets" 😂
Last uns die Kämpfe beginnen! 😂👍😉
Haha game is on!
so now is NOmad Sweden vs Itchyboots - she dumped Insta after 1 day testing for go Pro.
Haha yes. But she didn't have to sell the GoPro to afford the Insta :) I got a few things better with the Insta... now let's see what I lost...
Itchy boots dumped the Insta360 Ace Pro and went back to GoPro because of bad audio... just saying... ruclips.net/video/FIbbF7N5pCY/видео.html
There is always a battle :)
I use a power bank with my GoPro and media mod and find that method very simple, put the PB in the top of my daypack, very easy to connect/disconnect, and that way you never get halfway thru an awesome clip and the battery dies and you lose the clip. Also when I'm racing I don't put the mic in my helmet just use the rear mic on the media mod and the audio is generally very good, not too much wind noise. Yes if not using a PB changing the battery is a right pain, but I've found with the newer enduro batteries for the GoPro they last a full day if filming just the good stuff not everything! Ive not really looked at insta cameras. I don't like how that cable sticks out the side, I'd be snapping that off in no time. Will have to take a deeper dive into the specs. Problem is I use 3 go pros when filming and just the one app, which makes it simple. Would be an expensive swap! Thanks for the heads-up 👍
You will be safe again after Thomas publishes his video and shoots me down :) Why can't someone just make the perfect camera? I won some things on the Ace Pro, let's see what I lost.
@@NomadSweden As I was telling my mate as he was drooling over another bike - it's not what you've got but what you do with it that matters!
@@twowheeledadventuresuk2739 that is what she said 😂🤩👏🏻
I had some of the issues you mentioned with the gopro. I also switched to the Insta360 Ace Pro about a month ago, but I also got the GPS Preview. That thing is a game changer on the motorcycle. I attach it to the handlebar (or occasionally to my wrist) with the supplied bands, and I can control the camera from there. I can also see what the framing is like. I wouldn't go without it now.
Cool. Too much spending in one go but perhaps i will get there 👍🏻
ı think one of best things you can continue stop and record in one file, ı think make life easier for make a video…
Indeed a nice feature. Not so easy from the helmet though :)
@@NomadSweden how is use? one click can pause record or something ?did you try voice command is it useful for just of things?
@@gezginendurocu I haven't tried everything yet, but I will. Stay tuned
The one thing I like about the new GoPro 12 is the ability to connect the camera's audio to my helmet headset via Bluetooth. This has been something that the GoPro should have had as far back as the GoPro 8 but great it's here now. It's a game changer for waterproof riding. I do like the other features you've brought up but for me having that feature is the most important. Best wishes..
Thanks. Yes Insta360 also has this feature but it’s not for me. It does not capture the group which is really important for me. I think the DJI supports it as well
@@NomadSweden thanks for that info. Helmet choice is a big factor. I think if I go for a peak I’ll be thinking like you. It is great to see so much more competition in this space compared to how it used to be
I am still really f....g impressed with you !!! 🤗🤗🤗 Same here brother, I also got the AcePro
Brothers!
Interesting take, Robert @NomadSweden. Popcorn time is on! 🙂
The real challenge is what GoPro did with the Media mod, the battery port and the mounting scheme for the later iterations of the GoPro action cameras. We see that Noraly @ItchyBoots already ditched the Insta360 Ace Pro due to audio quality after just some short testing (ruclips.net/video/FIbbF7N5pCY/видео.html). What Insta360 did to the audio in port is almost just as weird as the take GoPro did to the latest Media mod.
Game on!😆
Yeah she can affort all cameras 😊 I won some things on the Insta and lets find out what I lost 😊 cheers
Dumt med denna sortens videor, jag blir bara sugen på att köpa och testa nya grejer hela tiden. Gillar iofs min action 4 med dji mic 2. Men finns säkert alltid bättre 😅👍
Viktigast är story och då spelar kameran mindre roll 😊
@@NomadSweden jag har aldrig en story 🙈😅 kanske ska börja där istället 👍😊
@@McPappan Jodå, att börja videon med att berätta vad man tänkt göra är en story. Sen kan man bara bli bättre på det.
@@NomadSweden ❤️
Have the Action 2 on my helmet and the magnetic mount is just da bomb. Your Ace Pro looks as if it also ticks all the boxes, nice bit of gear! BTW: can you also not just plug in a USB-C microphone? (I do that with mine)
Cheers! Yes USB works also!
Get a remote to start and stop the video, and put it on the bike.
I had a problem with one insta that I had, I had to complain to PayPal, and they wait for the last day to give me a refund...
They deny the problem, then they recognised the problem, then they try to stall me, they even said they lost my emails...
But I've seen a lot of RUclipsrs saying goodbye GoPro and things like that, and after sometime they return... I
Hope not your case. 😉
Time will tell. 😊
I did exactly the same. Bye - GoPro 8, Hi Ace Pro..
Also another best part - Ace Pro can be connected to Cardo Edge via bluetooth, make it an easier connnection to helmet headsets.
For my Gopro 8, it cannot be recording while charging at the same time(fair to say this is the old model problem only) but Ace Pro can record and charge via USB C(Much faster!!) Still, I got 2 spares (3 total) batteries for Ace Pro.
Nice video Robert, i kinda understand what you said...mmmm!. I just want decent battery life, ease of use. Most modern action cameras have pretty impressive picture quality. One thing i see a lot is poorly mounted cameras, almost always pointing too low. That endless POV footage of the bike instruments...😂😂!! Cheers Steve 💚
Indeed. Regardless of technology none of the cameras come with a ”watchable video” guarantee 😊
i've watched a few reviews (there are MANY out there), but i think your vid will sell some cameras! (you need an affiliate link). Ready for the online battle, but the quick connect/disconnect is a game changer to me.
I am taking a chance on this camera and hope not too many follow my reasoning too early 😊
hello tommy 😄, what about the lens? When we're off-roading, it happens every now and then that small stones separate the lens. Can you replace it individually or do you have to buy a new camera?
The lens is not remivable but they have one year free lens change if you send it in. I never cracked a lense on any of my cameras but it can happen. There are videos on how to change thense at home also by DIY
Interesting video. I can totally relate to the GoPro issues- the image quality is great but it keeps dying too often even at moderate low temperatures. Luckily the GoPros are my B and C cameras. My A camera on the helmet is a 2016 Sony FDR X 3000 with optical image stabilization which works well in low light compared to digital stabilization- oh it has a 3.5 mic jack - no adapter needed. Battery swaps take 10 seconds with the helmet on my head. It never crashes and the 4K image still holds up well - even though difficult light conditions are handled better by current generation cameras. Mounted it looks better than chin mounted cameras in my humble opinion and viewing angle is at eye level, showing less of the wind shield as compared to most chin mounted setups. I am not sure if I am allowed to join yours and Thomas’s party but here is my take on a vlog setup ruclips.net/video/d7eh1HCxp0c/видео.html cheers Oliver btw love both of your content 😉
Awesome 👏🏻 Strange Sony is never in the line up. They could fight harder to join the battle
@@NomadSweden It is a shame really - I have given up a long time ago to see the successor of the excellent X3000 action cam which nowadays can only be found in museums 😂but it was the first 4K action camera that had usable image stabilization when it came out. At least GoPro is getting some descent competition now as they have stopped innovating a long time ago and have not botherd to fix the issues which I have had on the Hero 7, 8, 9 and 10. Both the Ace Pro and the Action 4 much better choices in my opinion. Maybe DJI will surprise us with a different format for an action camera - they tried with the Action 2.
Good with competition. This means that we as consumers get better and better products.
Thanks for the review, Robert.
Cheers!
Love your content and I’ve said that before, but the Michael J Fox line is a bit of a low blow. You’re better than that
I knew it was going to stir. Even asked around first. We all love Michael but I have bad joke tourettes
I’ve watched your stuff for years and not heard anything close to that. And I’m not looking to be offended btw - RUclips is the only social media I use, and that’s mainly for bike content. Just didn’t expect that kind of thing on your channel, and thought you’d appreciate the feedback from a long-time follower (of Nomad, not Michael J Fox)
@lukewarren9979 point taken 😊 cheers
Great review and for a change, a practical use that's effective. I have all three brands and my go to camera is the Ace Pro, my secondary camera is the A4 if I want to push 10 bit but tbh, I haven't really had to do much of that since the Ace Pro as it handles color impressively. I've been reading/watching a lot of videos/reviews and you're dead on, ALL cameras take great videos at the end of the day with very little to no difference between them. The 'fanboys' who argue about these marginal video quality differences seem to conveniently neglect the other 10 features this camera offers that are actually useful, innovative in every environment.
Thank you! I hope you are in my ring corner when Thomas comes after me. You hold and I punch 😀
@@NomadSweden LOL I'm game, we'll tag team Thomas ;)
@@MiyagisRant I will tea bag both of you 😂 And still with the marginal video difference people brag and make a point of the low light capabilities in a small sensor camera like this. Hold my beer!!!
@@tshansen LOL, I don't understand your argument, it sounded like you're on Ace Pro's side. Are you talking about the GoPro having better low light capabilities? I hope not because that is the worst feature on the GP even compared to A4, I'm pretty sure my $50 dashcam takes better low light footage then the GP... Hold my vodka!
We need to make aUFC confrontation video Thomas
Beautiful video as usual! I wanted to ask you what microphone you use insta; thank u!
I like your utube channel!!! I’m Looking forward to your next trip! Ciaoo 😊
Thanks. In this video I link to the video where I make the microphone installs. It’s all there
For some unknown reason? GoPros are still the best cameras on the market. Have you had any ingenuity you would just mount a power bank to your helmet and then run a cable to the camera. Then you would never have to change batteries.
I covered this in the video 😊
@@NomadSweden Yet you still use it as a reason to bash GoPro. Classy. And you are aware you can purchase a quick release mount for gopro if you really want one and not bother with the screw mount.
I'm 100% convinced about this camera 💪
Crassy and poor technical analysis.
I agree. It’s not a technical analysis at all 😊
What a tasteless MJF Joke..
I know
Du får sikkert noen komentarer fra Thomas nå ja, he he
Battle has begun!
