@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL I just designed a 43mm one and printed it out, just waiting for my 43mm +3 to come in. It should be big enough not to show but will find out.

Guys i made a goof, I implied in the first few seconds that this camera is 10bit. It is not. The GoPro Hero 12 is 10bit and so is the Osmo Action 4. Does this matter to you? If you plan on colorgrading the footage or shooting in LOG, then yes. It matters. There's a huge jump in color data when you go from 8bit to 10bit, and this comes out in sky banding and color information when colorgrading. In my opinion this might be the biggest decision factor in addition to the minimum focusing issue that I showed you guys. Keep in mind, it's really only an issue if you shoot log or need to color correct / grade grade. If you just normally shoot and edit then you probably won't notice a difference. But 8-Bit t also means slightly less DR in 8k mode. If you look at the 8k clip of me walking out into the sun ( talking about the lens and the minimum focusing issue) , you can see the highlights get a little clipped as the sun hits my face. This is because the 8k is not 10bit (doesn't have as much dynamic range ) and it's not able to have HDR in that mode as the quad bayer can't simultaneously have hi resolution and HDR (one or the other) . Had it been 8k in 10bit, the color information would not clip like that and it would hold true. I'm sorry I didn't include this in the video, chalk it up to the sleepless nights with a 4 month old. If you do like the camera and want to buy you can support my channel and purchase thru my link! Xo

Not only are you the only person I’ve found to address the blurry face issue, you even presented and built a solution. I thought I was taking crazy pills with the amount of videos about this camera (even outside the painfully obvious sponsored ones) not bringing this issue up. Thanks as always, looking forward to the new style of videos ⚡️🤘🏻

The Effort This Man Puts Into Every Video To Make It Seem Effortless is Amazing. Love you man.

The creativity is what I love the most in your work Josh and I’m missing you badly the last few months for my own inspiration 🙈 Can’t wait to see your upcoming work man 💪 You are huge inspiration for many out here and trust me, we need exactly what you are going for in this channel 💪 PS: i just ordered the Insta 360 ace pro because of that video! I have like 5 different cameras already but you helped me realize I need this one for some very specific shoots in my workflow 💪 Thanks for the inspiration again ❤️

This was the best review for this Ace pro! Thank you Sir!

About a minute into this video, I subscribed. Great video that felt more like a blog actually. Was gutted to hear you may longer do camera videos on the future but good luck with the building stuff instead!

I'm just getting into action cam, of the dozens reviews i've seen that's the best one by far. Actually learned things! Propos to you and gl for your futur project

Hi, I'm so happy to hear that you are into DIY projects and using 3D printers and other tools. I love your YT channel and I admire your passion for building stuff. I also got into 3D printing a few years ago, because I wanted to make some custom adapters for my cameras and gimbals. Now I really enjoy 3D printing and making my own DIY projects. I even revived my YT channel and started Maker TV, where I will share videos not only about my projects but also about other makers. By the way, I made some cool stuff for the legendary EOS-M with Magic Lantern ;) Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see you make another video. Have fun!

OMG!!! You just explained what no one else did, this no on focus thing. I watched so many videos trying to find what settings I was doing wrong, and even thought about just using this camera for water and getting a different one for vlogging…and now i understood, because of you. Thank you so much!!!! I will get this diopter thing from your website. just Thank you!!!!!

I got my order and very happy and excited to start creating with this amazing DIY tool! Thanks so much for the product and for the info as I am a vlogging newb! Good luck with everyone perfecting their craft!

Missed your uploads! Keep up the great work and get some rest!

Great video! I can't wait for my Ace Pro to come in. I definitely want to use it for vlogging as my Go 3 got stolen. The 72mm diopter kit you suggested is currently unavailable. do you recommend another as I'm anxious to start vlogging once I get my camera in a 3 days?

I am excited to see you build stuff. I want to see your process. My current issue I'm having trouble building for my camcorder is an L-shaped plexiglass shield assembly for recording paintball. I'm on my third prototype. The type of plexiglass is as important as the mounting method as paint is oil based and instantly neutralizes adhesives of any kind.

Great vid as usual 🎉

Your honest review with your knowledge of how to fix its problems was just what I was looking for. The actually using it as I might was like a bonus. Thank You

thank you, a more definitive review of Ace Pro.

Can’t wait to see the new direction for this channel.

Soooo cool! That AI warp is insane

最高のレビューです！3Dモデルもダウンロードさせていただきました。ますますAce Proに愛着がわきました。続編にも期待しています。Thank you!

Thanks for the great review man! My question is, can the 10-bit upgrade be done through firmware? Since there are so many folks whining about the lack of 10-bit, would be great if we could see side by side comparison of 8-bit vs 10-bit.

Big thanks for information about blurry selfie.

Cool! Thanks for sharing it. ✌️

Great vid, just made my next action camera decision a little easier. 🤙

Great Video! Do you know if I can use the dji mic 1 with the Insta ace pro? (Using the usb-c or the ace pro mic adapter) I can’t decide between the ace pro and the action 4 for that reason

YES start build stuff!

Great job suggesting the diopter! That AI warp video is doable without this camera too, but it's so much easier with it!

Luv luv man dig your channel

Hello, I discovered your channel and I admit that I couldn’t believe my eyes! I've been asking for a few years if it would be possible to have an action cam with a simple lever that allows you to take a close-up like we had on cheap vintage Instamatics. Every time I approached the subject of a portrait interview allowing a clear face or a flower with insects, I was told that that was not the purpose of an action camera. I had tried a fair-ly strong close-up filter on my only action cam (Hero8 which is a disaster) and given that the image is so poor, it was difficult to say if it changed anything. In short, I know that I will acquire this insta360 ACE PRO and thank you for sharing your genius and creativity because no one had thought of correcting this limitation before you!

Thanks for the video. I want to record my surgeries. Will it work with the 52 mm and a diopter set? I work with my loupes at 46 cm

This demonstrates how behind GoPro has been with innovation for creatives

thanks

Is something wrong with the website for diopter download? 52mm costs $15 for the file to make my own 72mm is free I want to do the smaller one so I don't block the screen

Hi there! I recently purchased an Insta 360 Ace Pro Diopter Mount - 67mm size. Is it normal for the lens to easily slip/fall out of the mount? Also, I'm super grateful for someone like you to resolve these issues and help out the community! One suggestion if you ever plan to make adjustments to the Diopter mount. It would be cool if the mount cover had a wider width from the opening to the cover so that both the mount and lens could remain attached to the Ace Pro and hold a Diopter lens inside while being covered by the mount cover. Hopefully that makes sense. Happy creating! Again, I appreciate what you’ve done here in improving the user experience with the Ace Pro!

Love this vid! You might have just saved my bacon. If you have 30 secs, woyld you have advice for this scenario? A drum studio, indoors, not super well lit, and a camera that is good for both talking head teaching content as well as POV drumming stuff. I was looking at the Ace Pro but the minimum focal distance is a no (I don't have the skills to fix it as you did). Go 3 looks good but low resolution and maybe not good unless in direct sunlight? If you have quick thoughts, please help!

Dope 🔥🔥 I've been thinking about getting an action camera for my ghetto KZread channel 😅

Looks great as long as you baby it and dont use it for any actual action.

Great stuff!

This might be asking too much from a first time subscriber. But can you do this comparison vid asap? I’m super confused and have a deadline to choose one in 2 days. INSTA 360ac pro vs osmo pocket 3

One very important thing was not mentioned in the Video, or I missed it. The Ace Pro does not have 10-Bit Video. It can shoot just 8-Bit in every resolution. Even the 4K HDR is no real HDR since missing 10-Bit. Insta360 told me it is a hardware restriction thing. Not possible to be added by Firmware. Seems to be that the chip is missing 10-Bit HEVC encoding, just doing it in 8-Bit. But for 8K, that seems so strange to me.

Awesome feedback on the sharpness area as most probably people will use it as a vlog camera too so it makes sense to have that diopter solution! I don’t have a 3D printer so hopefully insta sells this as I’m sure it will sell like pancakes you just gave them some revenue opportunities they should give you a cut hahahaha

Hi there! Great vid, I can't believe I've only just found you! It's my kinda channel. Quick question, I can't download the Diopter mount info, could it be because I'm in the UK?

Is that why although my air 2 is old and doesnt have 10 bit, i see no benefit to upgrade. I windered why the image looked so great after all these years. Thanks for explainingnthe bauer system.

Yes let’s geek out 😂

Should I buy insta 360 pro or dji action 4

I felt bad going for this instead of the DJI Pocket 3 but with the diopter, this looks much better with nice background blur too

Awesome

Does this problem go away if you shoot in 4K? Because your workaround is really cool but I doubt very many people have access to a 3-D printer. Also, is this a problem on the GoPro H2? Because I do notice that if I am too close with my GoPro, my face is a little bit of focus. I don’t think action cameras like close-ups!

How useful is the tracking data from the 2nd camera when it's not gen-locked to the main camera?

@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL

That's a really good question actually. I'll have to test it out. I would assume that it's not a big deal as you can manually slide the sync of the footage in post with normal built in tools in programs like AE and DaVinci resolve. My understanding is gen lock is more for the real time functions like the virtual wall productions. So they are in sync that moment.

How does this compare with the DI Pocket 3

My favorite smell. New camera.

Can you review the DJI Osmo Pocket 3?

I purchased two 52mm adapters, so I can use a +2 or a +4 diopter depending on the subject closeness I want with less fuss. Shipping was fast. It would be nice to also use a PL filter. Such a filter has a rotatable ring, but the ring needs to fit above the holder so it can be rotated. The current design is too deep for most PL filters because the ring and the rest of the filter sinks all the way in so that the ring cannot be rotated. Would it be possible to make a thinner holder for this purpose so the rotatable ring is above the holder? Yes, I could file down the existing holder, or put some material inside to hold out the filter, but there might be market for this.

Yes I think that for vlogging alone the Osmo pocket 3 is far superior. My only gripe with osmo pocket 3 is the stabilization is not on par with action cameras. Had they stuck in the osmo action 4 level stabilization in there along with the gimbal stabilization they would have had unmatched stabikization. But they didn't. And normal walking shots still show slight movement. It's a mechanical issue the gimbal only travels a few centimeters and is not traveling nearly enough to counter the vertical movement of walking.

@markr041

@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL Agreed on stabilization. Also, the Pocket 3 AF has the worst focus breathing of any camera/lens - if you change focus from close to far there is a substantial change in the size of the subject. It is not subtle, so you really never want to have the AF shift while shooting. Thus, fixed focus may be better. It is so much more fun shooting with a fixed focus camera and not having to worry about what is or is not in focus, or hoping the focus does not shift - keeping the minimum distance of course. I acquired your 52mm adapter; works fine with the Vivitar +4, but putting on and off the adapter is a real pain - the fit is very tight and unforgiving (of course no worry about falling off).

Same across all settings, its an optical issue, it's more noticeable in 8k though, as with all 8k cameras, if your out of focus and your watching on a big screen you can really tell! But all modes would show a huge difference with a close focus diopter.

Great review. AI warp looks cool. PS @ 03:16 _"You're gathering more light, making the signal to noise ratio smaller."_ Shouldn't that be larger, not smaller?
