ah thanks mate 😎 glad u enjoyed it! it’s a really fun camera so ur gonna love it when it comes!

yeah it definitely has some nice features that make the user experience a lot more easier with the editing side of things so if that’s what ur looking for then yeah this camera is for u! obviously this is only version 1 of the camera so will be interesting to see what comes next

Totally agree with this statement above !! I’ve been after a new action camera for years but I’ve been holding out for a better GoPro which still haven’t happened yet and I’m still using a GoPro Hero 9 which to this day works great, the stability and picture quality still blows most cameras out of the water !! My problem is I’ve no idea what camera to upgrade too lol I love the look of the DJI Pocket 3 but it’s expensive, not waterproof and I won’t be able to film on rides, I like the look of the Action 4 but the Ace Pro looks better, however I’m not too sure about the flip up screen which is a gimmick and none removable lens 🤷🏼‍♂️ hopefully these issues will be resolved later in the next generations

@@Coaster_Crazy after a lot of research the fuss over mom removable is just typical modern behavior by people over reacting . All un paid reviewers, small to big day they have never broke a lens in there life. The lens is good for blogger type people. I'm going to be using you for camping streams so I think it'll be good. But I think they should also add a second screen. Anyways. Mine should be arriving any days

ahh means a lot! thanks mate 😎

2024 🚀🚀

it’s amazing isn’t it 🤩🤯

ahh thanks man 😎 yeah, it was a strange day with everything that went on but super fun to use the ace pro and the end results looked great so glad u liked it!

thanks man 😎

i think it’s pretty obvious what the sound from the internal mic sounds like whilst on a bike…. WIND. why do u want to listen to wind?

no problem 😎 glad u liked it!… I can only speak for the ace pro and pocket 3 as I don’t have the A7C2, but for what ur describing I would defo put the Sony down and choose either the ace pro or p3… they both have there pros and cons, u mention swimming so for that u will defo need something like the ace pro as the p3 isn’t water proof… but u also mention tracking and for that the p3 would be better. I guess it also comes down to the overall user experience on them both and the actual look of the videos they both give out, which do u prefer. I would personally choose the p3 over the ace pro but that’s not to say the ace pro isn’t a great camera, I just prefer the overall experience and look of the videos and sound from the p3

@@james.loxton Thank you very much for your response. Keep the pace! Will be following you.

no problem 😎

thanks man 😎 and welcome on board! yeah it was annoying, some of the security didn’t say anything and some did. at least I managed to get some shots before I left tho

@@james.loxton thing is now you know for next time, either don’t take a camera or don’t go at all like me lol I couldn’t be arsed with the hassle

haha thanks man 😎 glad u enjoyed it!

I agree

thanks 😎 glad u enjoyed it! ahh sounds amazing! it’s a super easy camera to use so just play around with it a few times and you’ll pick it up in no time! good luck!

hahaaa 😂😇 the clock blows my mind everytime I see it, I just needed to share it with u all so u can see how cool it is

thank u 😎 glad u enjoyed it!

@@james.loxton absolutely great mate 👍

yeah the low light definitely is a step up from its competition

defo the pocket 3! it’s a bit annoying constantly flipping the screen up on the ace pro vs the screen always being in front of u on the pocket 3 plus the screen quality on the ace pro is no where near as good as the pocket 3

thanks 😎 glad u enjoyed it! and yes that clock is simply amazing 🤩🤯

thanks man 😎 yeah he was just being difficult for some reason, there was so many other people with cameras filming around the place but at least I still got some shots

Unfortunately it’s their rule that cameras of any kind are not allowed inside the event, so many people I know have been turned away just for having an action camera in their bag or told to leave

haha glad it kept u entertained 😎 the bench was a first for me as well 😂 glad u liked the clock, I literally just stare at it in amazement everytime I drive past it… I haven’t reached out to insta360 yet regarding the noise it started to make but yes it was running on the latest firmware, not really sure what happened but these things happen now and again and so far it hasn’t happened again so 🤞🏾 it stays like that

@@james.loxton at least you didn't have to pull the battery to reset it. 👍

thank u 😎 it really is isn’t it!! everytime I drive past it I’m still like 🤯

thank u 😎 glad u enjoyed it! pocket 3 vs ace pro is on the list to make… watch this space

welcome aboard 🥳 thank u! glad ur liking the vids and hope u enjoy the ace pro when u get it!

@@james.loxton Thank you James. Greatly appreciate your reply. I'm from India.

thanks 😎 so, great point u mention but I was using the correct SD card which is the same SD cards (V30, A2) I use for pretty much all my cameras including previous insta360 ones… what happened in this video hasn’t actually happened since that day so I’m taking it as a one off which was obviously really bad timing considering I was shooting a real life review of it 😂

glad ur liking the vids 😎 I’ve got a video already comparing the ace pro with the pocket 3 but it’s just a low light comparison. I have a ace pro vs pocket 3 vlog video planned so watch this space!

@@james.loxton I know I have watched it haha. thank you

no problem man, glad u liked it 😎 so, no adjustments have been made to any of the clips, they are literally straight out the camera

@@james.loxton Makes it even more amazing. It's on Standard Profile or Flat?

yeahhh 🤩 it was set to standard as the color profile for the whole video (apart from the small section where I was testing out the others)

@@james.loxton Lastly, did the freezing recur again and if so, how often?

after a recent firmware update, there is now an option to connect it to ur computer and use it as a webcam. and yes, there is a creator combo available, in fact there’s a few different combos available so might be worth u having a look on there website and seeing what’s included in each 😎

thanks man 😎 glad u enjoyed it! so those clips ur referring to are the new ‘AI warps’ that u can create in the insta360 app with videos shot on the ace pro, I’ll be doing a video soon showing the process of creating them so watch this space

Got you . Thanks ! @@james.loxton

glad u enjoyed it 😎 yeah they both have there pro’s and cons… it ultimately comes down to what ur gonna be shooting, if its more heavy stuff then yeah the ace pro would hold up better for that but if it was normal vlogging or cinematic type stuff then I would defo choose the pocket 3. Plus the overall image quality of the pocket 3 during the day or night is so much better than the ace pro in my opinion but the cool AI features of the ace pro do make it a fun camera to play around with and create cool things

I believe the Dji Mic 2 also pairs with the Ace Pro!

@@markr041 Indeed, it does, BUT the super sad part is then when paired as a BLUETOOTH Mic with DJI Action or iPhone the 32bit INTERNAL FLOAT recording is disabled. IF they can fix that, then it would solve all problems. That said, I still DO want Insta360 to rip off the DJI Mic 2 and make one of their own with full integration. - Eric ZORK Alan & Sweetie [ Professional Poets & Bed 🛏 & Beer🍺 Vloggers ]

yes yes yes 😂 they was going on like I was tryna film in some secret place

yeah shooting in the pure video mode which is the new low light mode really helps reduce the noise and grain and make the overall image clearer in low light

yeah the new low light mode is great! and as for apple getting on board with it… well u know we’ll be waiting a while as they take so long to implement things that other devices have been able to do for some time 😂 …the security in the park were just being difficult, I saw about 5 other people walking round vlogging with no issues

@@james.loxton Yes 5 years from now. Apple release it as their own as they usually do. Call it iNight something.

thank u 😎 I did think that but even with it being cold it shouldn’t have started making that noise, people take action cameras to much colder places than london like ski slopes and u wouldn’t expect that to even happen there cos these cameras are built to withstand cold temperatures but these things do happen now and again and it hasn’t happened since so 🤞🏾 it was a one off… it’s still a decent little camera that can create some really cool unique things and like u said, it’s super easy to use which makes it great for beginners! good luck with it 👍🏾

oh yeah I know these things happen now and again and tbh it hasn’t happened since, electronics of any sort are always gonna have there moments but as this was a real world test I thought it was worth showing

yeah I don’t shoot in 60fps unless I’m gonna slow it down. 25 is my preference when shooting normal video. yes it can look choppy when panning left or right but if u do it slowly it does help eliminate the choppiness

​@james.loxton Why do you prefer 25 fps? Computer monitors have refresh rates that are multtiples of 30. And, given the high shutter speeds in bright light, the motion at 25 fps will be stuttery. At 60 fps the motion looks smooth even at high shutter speeds. Please defend shooting at 25 fps.

with face priority turned on it definitely does a good job with balancing the exposure on the face vs with it turned off as I showed at about 13:20

tbh I’m not blown away by the overall image quality… it’s definitely better than previous insta360 cameras but I dunno what it is when I look at some of the clips I just think hmmm, this doesn’t look great, especially round the edges or in shadows and sometimes the colors are way to vibrant especially as u can’t turn hdr mode off. I’m pretty sure there’s a face focusing issue cos everything around me looks in focus but my face looks a bit blurry in some shots

@@james.loxton thanks for the update. Yes I agree. I think Action 4 looks better.

Your video provides much more balanced info than all those KZfaqrs who are provided with free Ace Pro cameras. Thanks for honest video showing pros, cons and lock up noisy cricket issues. At 17:25 or about, one can clearly see the benefits of the Pocket 3 vs the Ace Pro and DJI Action 4 with larger sensors. The DJI Action 4 and Insta360 Ace Pro have fixed focal lengths... Apparently they are set to minimum focus at 40cm DJI and 60cm Ace Pro respectively per their disclosed specs but it seems to me the point of minimum focus is longer than this. Note I don't have either DJI Action 4 or Ace Pro, but have the Pocket 3. I am basing this observation from your video and other videos on both cameras on youtube. I am looking to get action cam for wet winter rainy days where Pocket 3 not most suitable. Anyway, this fixed focus point is why your face always seems out of focus and blurry while background sharp focus. For vlogging the Action 4 and Ace Pro really need a close focus diopter type filters to get closer focusing on a vlogger's face, or one needs to use a longer selfie stick. Check out a recent video by @MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL posted on Dec 5 2023. Hope this makes sense. Cheers. @@james.loxton

thanks 😎 yeah the action 4 defo has its pro’s

the action 4 definitely has its many pro’s

thanks man 😎 good question, to which I can only say that I think for me it was being in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong security guy around. there were several other people vlogging on actual cameras not phones that I saw so I think I just got unlucky with the guy that saw me, he was just trying to be difficult

It’s one rule for one and one for another !! So many people have had problems filming at Winter Wonderland this year, some have been told they can’t come in with a camera even left in their bag and some have had no issues at all……go figure 🤷🏼‍♂️
