If you are in the picture, the Pocket 3 will expose for you and not for the background. The best way to compare these cameras for scenery is without you being in frame.

I have the pocket3 now and am also considering buying an action camera. They very different cameras, the pocket3 is now the go-to camera for filming myself in vlogs, and given the same system, I'll probably buy the action4.

Yes that makes sense to keep it all the same. But I’ve found this Ace Pro to very capable and it’s the best do-it-all in my opinion. I normally go with the Pocket 3 and Ace Pro when traveling

The Ace Pro looks badly oversaturated, even when not in vivid mode. The orange kacket is practically glowing. The Hero 12 looks like a gopro. You either like that look or you don't. It's a bit too razor sharp/video looking for my taste. The pocket 3 looks like d-log m that hasn't been graded. Colors muted no contrast. Flat. Easily fixed with a little color work, or a lut. The action 4 clearly has the most natural looking colors, and its not under exposing your face to try and keep the sky exposed. Just my 2 cents.

Great review, everyone of these cameras has their strengths, at the end of the day, I look at 2 things, first, innovative features that make my life using this camera all day everyday easy, and out of the camera usable good footage without having to do any post edits. In your review and lots that I've seen, we are so good at picking that one or two features against our 'favorite' we neglect to see the overall performance of an actioncam, this is where Ace Pro comes in imo and I think this is what Insta360 had in mind when then launched this camera. It's certainly not a GoPro or a DJI killer but let's be honest, it's a very strong contender, I'm thinking maybe the Ace Pro 2 will actually be the competition killer ;) p.s. man, now I want the pocket 3 also lol
@JBOutside1 5 ай бұрын
Haha, yeah I totally agree that this one is a real strong first edition…and that Pocket 3 is also very nice! 👍🏻

If ace pro 2 adds a front screen as an option to be on or off ontop of the flip screen and removable lens, They will gain so many buyers.
@MiyagisRant 5 ай бұрын
@@craigshandworldI agree although the flip up screen wasn't a super great idea, it targets a different market and I think that was their strategy, but I'll be honest, I have this camera and that flip screen is rock solid and built like a tank, time will tell. For my use, I have a DJI with a front screen, never use it but that's me so with this camera, that flip screen will likely stay down 95% of the time.
@craigshandworld 5 ай бұрын
@@MiyagisRant for sure. Can you use pure night mode and freeframe mode at the same time? I like the screen but I think having the option to use it when you want or just use a front screen will be a big selling point. I still think I will settle on Ace pro out of the 3. Easiest editing software, pause record, free frame and low light is the points for me.
@MiyagisRant 5 ай бұрын
@@craigshandworld No, with PureVideo you're locked int to 4k/30fps, not a biggie as it does a great job. I think we will probably see more modes with purevideo in the future, the other way around this is witht that sensor, use the mode you want and activate low light stabilization, there's actually two stabilization modes. I mistakenly did a night shoot with my hand sticking out of my sunroof in just the regular 4k/30HDR with low light stab on while the car was going 50kmph and the video was actually surprisingly good lol

@itsmattyboom 2 ай бұрын
I think this issue is a dealbreaker. When I'm out vlogging I don't always hold the camera out at FULL arm's length, it's natural over time to drift in as your arm gets tired, and you're not thinking about that you're thinking about whatever subject you're vlogging about. The second you do that on the Ace you start drifting out of focus. This camera is easier to vlog with than the pocket 3. But do you want "easiest to use" or "best footage"?

It's mind boggling how none of these reviewers can see how much softer the image is from the Ace pro. Even when it's paused at 14.59 I mean seriously, that image is garbage. The camera has some good features but all of that is out the window if the image is mush. I had one of these for a couple of days, compared to my GoPro 11 and sent it straight back for a refund.
@JBOutside1 5 ай бұрын
All of these cameras are terrible in less than ideal lighting conditions. In full sun your GoPro is still the best and the others are really good too. When things get dark it’s a game of who is better. Everyone except GoPro is at least attempting to improve some low light ability with specific features. Which I’m ok with to a point. GoPro isn’t trying to be something it isn’t.

You are OUT of focus on the Ace while everything in the background is IN focus. The opposite of what you want when vlogging. Whatever you are saying to the camera, that allegedly adds value for your audience is the most important thing in the shot, and should be in focus. If that's what vlogging is all about then the Pocket 3 is the clear winner. If you see something very compelling, then turn the camera around and aim at it! 😂 When you do that the pocket will have whatever it is in perfect focus. I like the ease of use of the ace, no gimbal, in and out of your pants pocket faster, but the footage doesn't lie, you're not in CRISP focus like you are on the DJI pocket.

My dilemma is I just got the Pocket 3 and now I need an action cam. I prefer the Acepro for superior low light over the OA4. However, Acepro new firmware no longer works with Mic 2. I'm hoping this changes in the next update or I'll have to hunt for the old AP old firmware 1.0.21 and hope it still works.
