HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 дек 2023
- A lot of positive reviews about the Insta360 AcePro. Destroying the Gopro 12 and DJI Action 4 in low light. But these people were sent the product early and can't be trusted. I finally got my hands on one and was shocked at it's performance vs the DJI Action 4. Ace Pro honest review.

They should have included a close-up focusing filter since it is geared toward a vlogging camera or a firmware option to choose close-focus or Vlogg mode.
Unneccessary user error. You don't get a close-up focusing filter because the proper way of filming yourself on the Ace Pro is to rock that 15ft selfie stick and use the 2x punch-in to 4k to achieve the perfect result. Obvi! 🙄
@@TerryRGraham you mean just like DJI did it with the Action 4 vlog combo?
@@derTommy The action 4 vlog combo doesn't include a close up filter... It just bundles a $250 microphone.
@@SparkY0 It was ironie.
Kasey "why nobody sent me cameras to review", also kasey "i hope i get to keep so i can sell it to fund the therapy i need after seeing this footage" thats why i love this channel
I’d suggest we start group therapy …. But somehow being a groupie of Kasey or this channel seems, well … where’s Dave Chappell when you need him?
All the reviews when the camera is send to the reviewers are crap ... Kasey is the only honest guy :D. I guess it was his first and last Insta360 product :D.
He was a bit rude, though. Regardless of the product, the company was a good sport, open to send him the camera, he could've thank the ppl there for the gesture and focus on the product.
Even my wife, who doesn’t like or care about cameras; thinks he’s hilarious. We watch every video together.
I think it's Kasey's hypnotic background music. @@TheStorytellingDad
All action cameras promotional footage looks like Hollywood movies, but in real life, ALL footage usually looks like
Same with smartphone promotions 😂😂
The reason I like your videos is because you use the cameras like a normal person would. Not everyone has a studio with perfect lighting and amazing post processing. Most people just want to record, which is what you do, and thats what i appreciates about you
and the brutal Honesty, you dont get that from others. More companies should send cameras to him for an honest review
"Angry Dad walking contest" - my new favorite. 😄
Agree. I will make a comment tho, angry dads in my house (me) are not worried about dessert at 8:00am. Only breakfast.
So tired of these "reviews" that are bought and paid for. You can always tell these kinds fo launches because they drop at the same time and all have the same script. It makes me want to buy their product less. Thanks for a REAL review.
it never gets old watching you run around with your little cameras. cracks me up! thanks for the giggles.
nice video. At first though, I was positive I was going with the ace pro as how sharp it was showing at a distance, you could read licens plates fine. Then the close-up came and DJI was sharper. How did you get a closeup filter ? I cant seem to find any on amazon for DJI
Can you provide links to the close focus filter that you use in Action 4?
Yes please I second this
I much prefer the Action 4. It looks so much more natural than the Ace Pro.
I agree 😮
Agreed. Can't believe the Ace is at the lowest sharpness. Can't imagine how crazy it would look at standard sharpness. :s
I disagree. But I don't own either and I'm not particularly invested either way. Still researching. Colours look better on the left imo. It's not real 8k. And probably why you can't zoom in 8k. But good digital zoom on 4k I guess. Low light looking good on the AcePro. I need the best under judder.
@@Silverbeardedsurfer ROFL, the "CARE LESS" comment that cares enough to make a comment on something they don't care about or even own or own to rival. Keep in mind that he didn't increase the DJI sharpness to compete with the Ace sharpness.
Yes so many people lie on ace pro for content and marketing purposes only
Why would you have a selfie/vlogging screen on the camera but the focus plane is waaay out there. The background is in great focus and the bokeh is the foreground????
He has theToneh turned on, it is a kinda beauty filter, do not worry, you will get used to it and then will not be able to live without it 🙂
@@gregausit it takes ten years off the face, LOL
Community needs real reviewers like you. Keep it up
Haha! Yeah right! He’s extremely biased and deletes replies that don’t go along with his biases. For example, this morning he said there are no filter attachments available, contrary to what I have been saying and to provide a link if there are. Well, I DID provide a link to filters/lens covers, etc being sold on Amazon for the Ace Pro and wouldn’t you know, it mysteriously disappeared! I resent it several times with all of them disappearing. So, he’s most likely reporting them as spam to have them deleted. I have zero respect for anyone who cannot accept a narrative contrary to his. I’m probably wasting my time because he will report this too to silence me. However, perhaps a few will see this before he gets it deleted. There ARE vendors selling lens protectors/filters for the Ace Pro on Amazon.
Which close focusing filter do you use? Is theer one for the Ace Pro as well?
I laughed harder than I should have at exploding blood achne lol. I I got my first Action cam last week and I went with the DJI Action 4, after seeing this I'm glad I went that route.
This video popped up on my homepage and so glad it did. Great video throughout. Very entertaining and informative. Keep up the good work. (Off to look through your other videos)
I watched this on my phone and to me the Insta360 looks better most of the time. Perhaps if you made a link where we could download the footage for a more reliable comparison.
Is the ace pro can detect external mic with usb type c connector or it only use with mic jack? just like DJI action it can detect a 3rd party external mic as long as the connector of the receiver is usb type c.
Hi, great comparison! I finally bought the OA4. I would love to know how did you attach a close up filter to the Osmo. Using a step-up adapter? Which diameter? Thanks!
I returned my ace pro because when I’m out metal detecting and using my chest mount my GoPro 8 is way better for close up shots than the ace pro, when I’m looking at the coin I just dug up. Question, what is better at about 10” away the Action4 or GP12. Looking to upgrade.
GoPro 12 min focus is about 12”. Action 4 about 16”.
In the beginning I liked the DJI but I watched the episode on my old TV and old Chromecast, and they were both perfectly fine, the image is so degraded through compression and my old electrics that it doesn't matter. Fun and usability should be the deciding factors
If you look at the night footage I think the insta 360 does better .
Need clearer info about the "Close focusing filter" you mention. Is it bundled, and how does it attach? Native 60cm minimum focus distance borderline for vlogging.
Hello, is the close focusing filter available to buy for the DJI Action 4 or is it a DIY thing? If it's a DIY thing could I use a 52mm and make a mount or will this do things to the edges of the image? I've seen a 72mm Diopter & 3D printed mount, but the edges were very blurry. THANK YOU. I've bought the insta360 pro ace, but I'm hoping I can play with the settings and make something somewhat pleasent. 😎
Lol...I can't believe any company would send you a product to review unless they were trying to go bankrupt. Are you sure it was a rep from insta 360 and not a GoPro rep who sent it to you?
Never thought of that the competition sending their competitors product.😂
I love your reviews without all the flashy fast edits and generic youtube music . Cheers from Australia !
I usually fast forward review videos to get into parts I'm actually interested in but this time I'm watching the entire thing and smiling while doing so. I don't know but you're funny 😂 Keep it up!
Did you mess up the color grading or was that Insta360 really crushing the blacks as hard as it appeared to?
No matter what I did, I couldn't get it to look good. A lot of this ended up in standard mode ungraded.
I bought a pocket 3, but action cams are still my most important cameras (trail footage, high risk shots, narration segments, and cab shots). I don’t like the way either of those look.
What's the close up filter you use for the action 4? I have had a look through your links and gear and can't find it. Great video, saved me from a close purchase of the insta 360
It's not a filter, it's just in the setting of the Action 4.
After I got the DJI Pocket 3, I can't consider any other pocketable camera 😅 Loved the video mate!
no matter how much we try we can't bait him to use his own money to buy one.
It's a great camera, it matches the iPhone 15Pro main camera in light gathering and depth of field, but has a more useful 20mm f/5.6 full frame equivalent for vlogging (vs 24mm f/6.3 on the iPhone), plus amazing gimbal stabilisation.
samsies
yeaah
@@DigiDriftZone The main lens on the iPhone is more like a 28-30mm when you turn on digital stabilization. You don't need that on the Pocket 3 since it has a gimbal, plus digital stab suck in low light. I'd say the Pocket 3 is a far better solution as a vlogging camera.
only reliable camera review channel. Keep it up my friend!
The insta360 looks much better when using the extra lens compared to DJI, you could make a video only comparing those. Also I think those lenses are good for vlogging but it won't work in my mountain bike or surfing days. Also, im stocked to see that there is no extra cropping when you went into high stabilization, is it the same when comparing 4K30 and 4k60? it would be the first camera to achieve that and I would be sold
You can't use filters on the Insta360 or I would have...
Where the heck do I get a close focus filter for the oa4?
Been thinking about this camera as a replacement for my 11 Black. I do motorcycle reviews and I am wondering if you feel it would be worth it? I'm still undecided its exhausting lol. Love your channel and your sense of humor Forgot to ask can you run the camera while its plugged in to a battery?
There are videos on how it handles low light, as it's strength is in that mostly. I think you need several cameras anyways when doing reviews because of angles. Also Casey is not the best in color grading, kindergarten kids color grade better :D
For that it would be good, filming away from you and everything in focus in the distance. I don't know about battery powered, I never use cameras like that accept the bmpcc og.
@@webinatic216 I have watched a lot of them and yeah it looks so much better in low light. True enough as I have been looking at adding more cameras to the filming process but right now I just have the one chin mount since my whole focus is just the first ride experience vs long term reviews at this point. Only 3.5k subs at the moment but I'm enjoying the process. Always looking to make it better and I guess I need to buy another camera lol. Take care
@@cameraconspiracies Well I guess I need to buy one. 2024 riding season will be a little bit away but if it helps provide a more pleasing experience for the viewer, I have no choice. Thanks for doing what you do and for your insights. Stay safe
You should be looking at other reviews too, not just his opinion. He seems to have already made up his mind. Plus, action cams in general are not designed for close-up blog-type shots due to the fixed focusing. The Ace Pro does very well for action shots like motorcycle riding, and its low light capabilities are the best so far according to the majority of the reviews I’ve seen, and these are not from fanboys who were given free Ace Pros. If you need it for blogging too, there are third-party vendors who now sell an adapter for filters. The only factor that might sway you to the Action 4 is that it’s cheaper. I wouldn’t even consider the GoPro 12.
Have both the Osmo Action 3 & 4 and both of mine suffers from soft footage in background. It is more noticable in the corners and often gets worse in low light. It is the same with stabilisation off as well as thought that was causing it.
Will ace pro better on osmo 4 ?
QUES???? is ulanzi the best place for all my CAMERA vlog attachments ??? or do you suggets another company as well ????
0:45 When you said, "Beyond the yonder!" my mind immediately went to Conan's "Yonder over yonder!" in the "Conan Becomes A Civil War Reenactor" comedy sketch gold. 🤣
What are best settings for dji action 4 recording indoor sports?
where can I buy this close focusing filter?
Guess who is never getting an Insta360 product to review again. You just confirmed what I've seen in the other reviews though.
What is this close up filter on Dji A4? Why do you need this filter?
I wanted this ace pro for vlogging, but not being in focus? Uhmm...okay? Still think the pocket 3 is a bit overpriced, but it seems like a great option, or the action 4 as well.
They both look like a sony X3000 on a bad day.
I think the pocket 3 is still the best option at the moment.
Great job, thanks for your honesty.
without a question you are right, the pocket 3 is so much better than these cameras... BUT sometimes you need an action cam that is rugged so it's good that dji has a quite good action 4. it's great that my trio of the pocket 3, action 4, and mini 4 pro drone from DJI all shoot 10 bit D-Log M for easy color grading.
The pocket 3 is not an action cam. Maybe it is the best option for YOU but not for someone who needs an action cam.
If only the pocket 3 was as rugged. I have the action 4 it’s good enough. If I did vlogging tho I would 100 percent choose the pocket 3

Hello, it seems that from minute 8, when you set the camera to standard, DJI has more focus, both close up and far away, and it is better than Ace (which did not seem like it at the beginning of the video). I wanted to ask you if the fact that the background is softer in clarity is because the DJI has the filter on, and without that filter then the background focuses more clearly, is that correct? The truth is that the DJI looks better so in the first minutes of the video, it seems to have correct sharpness both near and far.
I also wanted to ask you if DJI has to choose sharpness levels, and if this improves, or is it always a very soft background image?
thank you so much!!!
Bros hilarious 😂 had to sub loving the vid currently deciding what action cam to buy for my first and I'll definitely be checking out the channel for more reviews!
Hi can you do a low light comparison with DJI Action 4 only using lens hood
Ouch😬, thanks for doing this honest review👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
TY! I just did a similar video I am posting that brings up the same focus issue! TY so much for being only the second person I know to actually bring these issues up. I am returning mine! TY for being REAL!
Hi, I bought the ACEm but I have a problem to report. If you "reflect" with polarized glasses to make a vlog in the mountains or at the sea, the screen turns completely black (which doesn't happen with a smartphone, Apple Watch, or DJI Pocket 3, to name another camera). I noticed that in all the reviews, even in blinding snow or against-the-light at the beach, no one was using glasses. Have you noticed this too, do you think it can be solved with some kind of film? Let's say that vlogging in the snow while skiing or at the beach without glasses isn't ideal. Paradoxically, the front control screen doesn't have this issue. I've written to Insta360 but they haven't responded yet.
Finally a reviewer I trust, making this comparison
The problem with the Insta360 sensor (what Gopro talked about the 1" sensor and the focusing distance) is that the FD is further away so you always are out of focus and your background is sharp, so it does not look good for logging or any close-up extreme sports recording... fail for now.
Was the hd240 line-skipping? Watch the jagged/aliasing on the curves of the cars in the background.
It's moire hell.
Well i literally just bought a dji action 4 so that has to be the better one 😅 (i need the webcam feature btw). One question though: where (what video) do you explain how to setup/what to buy for the close focus filter you use? Tried to look for it on your channel but no luck so far 😅.
I've stopped pigeon holing it as an action camera, to me it's clearly a vlogging camera that needs a close focus filter. In that mindset and with a close focus filter on it actually looks pretty good. Low Light is a scary good too when it comes to stabe. I'd like to see angry school Mum next time.
Why the hell shoult it be a vlogging camera? The DJI Pocket 3 is a vlogging camera. the Ace Pro? Why? Because of the screen?
@@derTommy Well, it’s probably got the fastest camera to social media workflow whilst looking great in terms of colours and stabe in all situations, bar the close focus. So in terms of vlogging that’s pretty good, I’ll go into more reasons and findings in my future videos. That’s why the hell.
DJI has the ecosystem. Action 5 will work with DJI Mic 2, pocket 3 is awesome already. Hard to beat.
when will action 5 be released?
What about action 10 ?
Latest firmware update from a couple of days ago for Action 4 now allows wireless connection direct for the DJI Mic 2.
Action 4 already work with dji mic 2 (after the last update)
@@Adam-pd7lh Probably somewhere around August to October this year.
Big DJI fan (and GoPro hater!).
I wouldn't buy one but to be honest in the first shot I thought the 360 looked more natural.
Then again I'm a pasty faced Mick. 😊
Same in my perception. On the outside the Dji has the red face he complains the insta puts out indoors.
I’ve bought the insta ace pro just for low light i heard the pocket 3 cant zoom very much even with the low light sensor
"Is that acne or HDR??"
That caught me off guard 🤣 and the most realest comment I heard so far of all this action cam reviews. Thanks dude!
I'm on the market to get a new action cam. Though I don't always leave comments, but here I wanna say, keep this natural-real-honest review style my guy! I appreciate you did random test by running then stop all the sudden. And complaining about the zooming feature.
All the other reviewers just did basic by the book kind of review, but yours actually the closest to real life usage that I'd be really concern about with this cameras. In this economy, I'm not that privileged to waste money, so I would love to know if my purchase would last me a long time. Thanks again man!! Appreciate it!!
Came for a review and somehow got popcorns to enjoy this video. Damn good content. 😂
Are you shooting the action 4 in d log m mode? From what I’ve seen in the standard mode, the objects in the background are all over sharpened and fuzzy. But yeah i much prefer the colours and exposure and audio of the action 4.
Just review that Pocket 3 already please :D
But yeah, DJI definitely has better color and less overprocessing.
he has to get sent one or borrow one. otherwise, the video would be up.
Yeah. DJI doesn’t send him free samples to review cause he is too honest. Someone will send him one eventually.
Bro you are the man! All these years later and im still watching. I was sold on dji 4 the other day and no you showed me the path. AcePro for the win!
fantastic video buddy keep making the world smile one video at a time!!
Whats the filter used?
what magnification close filter did you use in this ? x1, x2 ?
2x.
can i use 4k120 as webcam - DJI Osmo Action 4 action
Gots to use a close-up filter (or not) on BOTH cameras for comparison. The sky detail on the Ace pro was amazing. I thought the Ace Pro in the studio, with the close-up filter, looked great (but I have red/green colorblindness). The Ace Pro deos REALLY well in low light - that's a major advantage if a person needs/wants that.
You can't attach one right now or I would have.
They're both good. It depends on the context. Get the one you like !
After the last edit is finished and the UPLOAD is underway, the production staff sits around eating Keto Tacos and swigging down tankards of champagne. Once the talk shifts from toneh to trashing Polin's latest rant, sleep overcomes and one by one they drift off and dream of Mitsubishi.....
Good job on review and standing your ground Casey!
I dont understand I should buy action 4 or acepro ?
I had to focus adjust my DJI Action 3. Maybe the Insta will look good and sharp once adjusted....but yeah shame it comes out of the box like that!
Congrats! You actually have the new camera you're reviewing this time!
Interesting, I wonder how they compare in low light?
Other than face exposure, the DJI looks much better. The Insta was very red.
I got both the Picket 3 and the Action 4. I have been very satisfied with them. Shot the Spaxe X launch live with no issues
How come all other reviewers missed to do the angry dad test?!! 😮😂
I have the X3 and I have to say Insta360 is very customer focused and will push out updates to address concerns in the marketplace. I think time will tell with regards to this product as it’s just out the gates.
I have an X3 and a Sony FDRX3000, an older action cam that Kasey seems to really like lately. I prefer the X3 though.
Yeah apart from the simple task that people have been requesting for about 2yrs; allowing you to put music over a video in the insta360 studio on a mac which you can do on the mobile app version on your iPad or iPhone 🤦🏽♂️.
So true
Why did they lie about the lens cover not being removable on production units but when in fact IT IS 😮
@@BassManStrikes GoPro has more than 1600 patents granted and I bet the camera is one of them.
It's strange that Insta360 didn't took a different approach with a removable lens for a action camera.
The aftermarket kit is a great solution for replacement and of course they advice against this :)
Something weird was happening with the AcePro focus or stabilization. You could see it around your eyes. It appeared to soften and then sharpen, of slightly blur and then unblur. It was more obvious when you were moving . The close focus filter appeared to help.
The angry dad test had me rollin 🤣😂🤣
I have a question if you're using both of these and they shoot in 4k and much higher why is it that we can only watch your RUclips video in 360p? Because that kind of defeats the purpose
What's the highest SD card capacity the Ace Pro will accept?
What backpack strap model you are using?

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about both action camera , I have dji osmo action 4 it’s so nice action camera , I don’t know if the setting are the same in both cameras because it seems Insta 360 better in HDR 📸
Those noisy trucks are delivering your toys
The Ace Pro Is focusing the background like the first batch of Action 3 or when you Sony x3000 starts to give in.
I genuinely love your content ❤😊😅
As someone who will use this as a dashcam mounted on my motorcycle helmet, It looks like the Insta's focus being further away would help with reading license plates in the unfortunate event of an "incident". Helps tremendously with my decision thank you!
I watched one video of yours about the Pocket 3 and here I am dozens videos deep!
Maybe they sort it out with the Ace Pro Extreme Jackpot Magic Missile
I probably prefer the DJI action 4 because the resulting images are more authentic, even though they lose in low light, but the results are very smooth.
insta360 Ace Pro Image quality prioritizes brighter background focus and it is possible that if you record at night with left and right movements it will look broken. It's different from the DJI Action 4, if you record at night the video results will still be smooth.
The lens glass on the Insta360 Ace Pro cannot be replaced and on the DJI 4 it can be replaced if it gets scratched. 10:29
I just prefer the osmo action 4. It´s an action cam, the fixed lens it´s a big problem and in all the reviews I see, it´s true that at night the ace pro takes advantage on low light, but in daylight use I don´t really think the quality it´s better, in fact I think it´s worse. THe osmo action has removable lens, wider FOV and if you are cared about night, just buy the Pocket 3 (as I already did!) Great video buddy
Pocket 3 is so fragile. Could break anytime
Pocket 3 is so fragile. Could break anytime
at 8:34 there are different clouds on the 2 cameras ?
After three days on Chat with Support, I learned that I need a better graphics card - GTX 1060 or better - to watch my Insta360 Ace Pro videos. I have wasted days trying to get this to work. Do I want to return the camera or spend $300+ on a new card or return the camera? Decisions, decisions. Do you have a recommendation for a graphics card?
Is the Action 4 your favorite out of all the action cams so far then?
I'll like and be a new sub... But I hate it at the same time because I am a sucker for buying it along with most of the accessories. Ugh. Nice work. I'm looking forward to the next video.
Wow, great comparison. The gimiks seem useless just to sell it.
Osmo looks good out of the box!
For me, the insta looked better 60% of the time. “60% of the time it works everytime”…. I’m gonna leave
good sense of humour!.....subscribed!
Action 4 looks more cinematic and smooth with better dynamic range and having log profile. the Ace is over sharpening which I don't like
lmao are you nuts?
100%
The insta exposes better but yeah it kinda doesn't look good regardless. But this comparison doesn't really make the DJI look good either. In fact both look pretty trash so I'm not sure what we learned. Like everyone else I'm really holding out for the inevitable pocket 3 video / comparison. This is the channel and that is the camera we want to see reign supreme or die a harsh death
I enjoyed this review style so I am going to subscribe and see what else I have been missing, regarding the focus for close up I would open the Insta and point it to something about 2-3 ft away and spin the lens to make sure the focus is close-up , I have done this with many action cameras as some have the focus further away and even same models can have a different focus length. I have even experimented with adding different lenses that have a different aperture like f2.8 so you need to take the lense into account also. I think you would have had better results with white balance set manually. I would be inclined to experiment with switching both lenses and setting the focus on the lenses so a desired depth then stick a dot of CA glue on the treads.
Having built some drones and experience the opposite, having focus length too close , this made me look into lens changing and apature/ focus depth in the past when diying security cameras to use on drones.
