You can make the gopro footage better on manual settings with higher shutter speed. Action 4 does the same on very low light, also in that manually setting higher shutter speed resolves the issue. Though if the frame is too dark then the stabilization will break again. Still the Ace Pro on automode is doing superb job and definitely earns top stars for that performance.

@@GnarlyBearMTB well it's not very usable footage if the stabilization is not able to kick in. The shutter would not be the same on both camera, in Gopro manually setting faster shutter it could have more and better images to adjust the image stabilization. Now the shutter is too long and image is bouncing around and all it has to adjust the stabilization is blurry images. Like taking a long exposure image and kicking the camera while you are at it. This is also why if the image is too noisy, eventually that can also break the stabilization. If the whole thing was "auto mode" battle sure Ace wins hands down and I am not saying otherwise. Even if gopro was set to manual mode, Ace would win. But if you have GP12 or Action 4 and have footage like that, it's good to know that there are options to combat that and not always just trust "auto" mode.

I have the GoPro 12 Black and it’s way more stable than what was shown there. You have other videos saying how to set them up perfectly for biking. Perhaps auto mode is bad.

I'll start by saying, I can't stand my fkn GoPro 10 black, it's fkn unreliable, over heats to damn quick and in cool weather to spite me. But the GoPros are the clearest and most stable of all action cams. The only time you get something as shotty as what was shown by this knuckle head is when you change some specific setting combined with stabilization. For the life of my I cannot remember what it was, if it was the frames per second or what have you, but the hardcore editors that work with GoPro know this as they all mention it.

The stability test was deliberately done in low light settings to show the difference between the two cameras. In order to compensate for the low light the cameras have to lower the shutter speed, which is impacting the stabilization quality of the GoPro. Since the Ace Pro has a bigger sensor, more light can be let in without having to drop the shutter speed, hence the stabilization also looks better. In daylight, you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between the two cameras.

Finally something fresh and not a tiny incremental update over the competition. Just found out they even do Garmin overlays on your videos! No need to struggle with VIRB Editor. Would love to see that in action.

The GoPro Hero 7 Black had a low light option which worked fairly well. Did GoPro improve on this? Nah, because GoPro is no longer interested in creating an action camera, they want a vlogging camera that be can be on a nice, bright sunny day, but not too warm. DJI and Insta are creating action cameras with low light capabilities, their making GoPro look predestination. Will GoPro respond to DJI and Insta? Nah, they're too busy appealing to mom baking pizza in her backyard pizza oven.

Are you saying the Gopro footage around 10:30 is all the best you know to do with a Gopro? Maybe you should have another 2-hour call, but this time with the Gopro team so they show you how to properly configure the camera.

@MacellaioNero

Ай бұрын

It's the low light context. In order to actually resolve an imagine, the GoPro is having to automatically decrease the shutter speed to let more light into the sensor. The stabilisation requires a high shutter speed to function, and since it can't have that without producing an underexposed image, you get this horrid stuttering instead. You can literally see this happening if you know what to look for, as lower shutter speeds increase motion blur, and the GoPro footage has far more motion blur - pause it at any point and you'll see. In good light, both cameras would look far more comparable, but I guess that's the point of the test.

Someone is a Gopro hardcore fan like I was and let me tell u I have every gopro since the 4 and the Inta360 Ace pro is way over the Lev of GoPro like it or Not…

The MTB test was very compelling. I evaluate all action cameras under their most challenging useage application. Low light, highlight recovery, auto ISO, exposure, color balance, stabilization, ease of use, reliability and how the video image holds up in color grading. As a pro videographer, I’ve had a number of different GoPros since Hero 2, currently using a Hero 10 (which I use infrequently). I swear I’ve always had so many issues using the GoPro’s. They’re always switching modes, recording/not recording unintentionally, constant issues connecting/reconnecting wireless remote, batteries not seating/charging properly in that stupid 2-battery charger, difficult touchscreen/menus, poor auto-ISO, exposure and color balance mgmt, etc, etc. Then there’s the super wide-angle lens I never really liked even though I often use wide angle lenses with other cameras. Only the most recent generation GoPro’s were of ANY use as an outward-facing camera (they were primarily selfie cameras until Hero 9). I’m usually only happy with GoPro footage when it’s on a gimbal. Contrastingly, my DJI drones and Pocket 2/3 always impress me and get WAY more use than GoPro’s, not to mention DJI’s constant innovation, variety in product lines, new releases, firmware upgrades, etc. The Mavic 2 Pro was so good, I got nearly 4 years out of it before upgrading. Now, this Insta360 Ace Pro looks considerably better than their other models, which, due to the poor image quality, I’ve never thought had a place in a professional edit, except maybe a D-camera novelty shot. Of course, it was more suited to some applications than most… i.e., a wingsuit or BASE jump. As I’ve never used an Insta360 product, I don’t know how easy and reliable they are to use, but the Leica lens, large sensor and superior image stabilization is very compelling. My more recent activities… WW kayaking, MTB and off-roading necessitates ease of use and reliability as I can’t be constantly f#

What stick on mic covers do you run on your Insta360 cameras? I’ve been looking on Amazon and can’t find any with good reviews.

I have a couple of the insta360 cameras and one thing no one mentions is support after you buy it. If you need to have the camera replaced it will take about a month as it needs to be sent in and then they ship you a replacement from China. I have had to have a my camera replaced a couple of times and waiting a month to get it, was pretty disappointing. Also support is based out of China so it takes a day or two of back in forth to just get the process going.

Thanks for making these videos Ryan! They’re super informative. I just broke 2 of my ribs on a ride tonight. Hope your recovery is going well!

Man this was such a good review. Easy to watch the entire thing. No fluff just value

looks like the gopro has far more motion blur frame by frame during this test indicating it could have been maybe set to an automatically lower iso or shutter speed by default in which case the stabilization would have been inferior to the insta in the comparison. If you look frame by frame at 1/4 playback its very evident. It would be useful to see both cameras manually set to the same iso and shutter speed and ran on the trail in the same light condition.

Holy shit! Finally someone who knows technical stuff doing review of action cam! You explaining sensor readout, dynamic range and pixel binning in such a way that makes it very easy to follow is amazing! Liked and subscribed!

Thank you and great to see the features of the Insta360 Ace Pro and I would like to see a true comparison with the GoPro Hero 12 & DJI Osmo Action 4 cameras when you have a chance. One thing that wasn't mentioned was the GoPro 11 8:7 sensor. This sensor will allow for better cropping for all 3 video platforms: KZread 16:9, Instagram 4:3 and TikTok 9:16 aspect ratios. I think the DJI and Insta360 are only good for 16:9 videos, so depending on what platform you are going to upload your videos there is are choices for the best cameras. Also, there is a trade-off with the 8:7 GoPro aspect ratio and that is low-light sensitivity, so if you record in low light then the DJI or Inta360 will be better. I usually shoot in daytime for mountain biking and skiing so i bought the GoPro Hero 11 for being able to adjust the aspect ratio upon export. One last thing about the 8:7 GoPro sensor is that if you have shot in 16:9 and either had the camera pointed to low or too high missing the correct POV, the 8:7 captures more vertically. So you can adjust the export either up or down to compensate for an imperfect camera recording position.

The dynamic range and vibrant colors make the footage come alive, truly impressed by the level of innovation that insta360 brings with the ace pro.

Sure is clearer but I think the GoPro had considerably better colors in all these tests. The AcePro seems to have quite bad white balance and it had a noticeable blue/green tint which kinda ruins the other improvements.

Great video. `did notice quite a lot of poor video compression on those mountain bike clips , see it on the sky at around 7mins, what caused that do you think? or is it KZread?

For me, who usually rides an electric bike in the city at night, I doubt how good the ace pro will be. To secure shutter speed that does not cause warbling during vibration correction, a very fluffy suspension seat post needed. However, it also offers footage without motion blur. it is questionable that ace does not support 10bit.

PureVideo killing it!! Low light shooting looks waaaay better than my old Gopro 😬

Two questions: 1. Did you look into heating issues at 4k30FPS? Comparison between HERO12/Action 4? 2. Do you think the production units will eventually go back to replaceable lens covers?

Would love to see an update vid once u have used it a while... What are the issues & downsides.... Like any overheating, battery life, glitching etc... GoPro has all these on later models... With such a powerful chip this camera must surely have...

One thing I am noticing consistently is how the Ace Pro has ever so slightly ‘out of focus’ face detail when using it in a ‘vlog style’, particularly visible at 6:00 where the GoPro has relatively sharp detail in both your face and sharp lines on the logos on your jacket and hat, where the Ace Pro has a subtle haze or blurriness. That could just be me but I’ve noticed it over a few videos now. I have read that the larger sensor increases the minimal focus distant to way further than an arms reach too. Outstanding review though, great in depth info and the scopes were a great touch to show the colour information.

thanks for the info! question for you. i shoot with a chin mount for mtb footage and currently on a gopro 10 (shooting 4k), if i were to upgrade would you suggest the onex3 or the ace pro? seems like the ace pro isn’t wide enough? also, im probably the only guy in mammoth lakes, ca sporting nf gear, so dig your hoodie!

The Ace Pro doesn’t have a wide enough FOV to get both the bars and the trail in the shot. So the X3 would be the ticket for chin mounting. Hope that helps!

Great video Ryan. This camera looks amazing though I do have a few reservations: do you feel the flip screen will be problematic in time? I mean, for mtb and gravel, how much grit is going to get into the hinge and bugger it up? I always feel things like this are bound to be the weak point of the product. Next -- I understand the gps overlays are compatible with Apple watches and Garmin ... I wonder if they are approaching Wahoo and Hammerhead to get them compatible, too. Most riders I know moved away from Garmin to others when their customer service and product quality dropped.

Color looks so much better on the Insta360 too, the GoPro has such a strong yellow tinge to it

Great review thank you. Are you based in Colorado?

Now that's a proper camera for mountain biking but what's the FOV and can this adjust the FOV in app or computer like X3? I own Go 2 and can adjust the FOV in computer(won't work in app) because the Go 2 FOV is too narrow for my liking.

Damn that Insta 360 Ace Pro is giving a Hero 12 Black a run for its money? THANK YOU. I LOVE competition in the market. It drives innovation and demolishes either complacency or trickle releases.

Is the magnetic mount compatible with the DJI Action 4?

That looks pretty amazing in very low light, just not even a question overall that it looks like Insta360 has knocked it out of the park as long as someone wants to invest that much. Just started catching my own MTB footage for the first time with a used Hero 8 Black, do you use a basic chest rig or is there something better?

ok, perfect timing -WOW
