Additional info: Insta360 offers a free replacement of a damaged or scratched lens cover within the first year of purchase. In such a case, you only have to cover the shipping costs.

The removable lens cover is major consideration. I keep a spare cover with my Action4 at all times, so that my project won't be interrupted.

9:54 for the deactivated front screens, you can try to unlock the front screen to get it started. it supports single-screen view, if you need the front screen to be opened, then unlock it.

As action camera, the lense should be easy to change if it got damaged. Why you should waste you time to send it back to service center. For this Action 4 is a easy win 👍👍👍

Both cameras are amazing, it depends on your needs and preferences. For me DJI is the option to go

The low light shot on Ace Pro is better.

good video, the flip screen looks great but I think will depend of your needs, I like the form factor of the action4 because is a tank! you know will resist everything, but having a flip screen will add some wekaness to the design, but as I say that will depend of the use, as a trail runner I don't need a flip screen, I need something that can resist the environment.

Im happy with my action 4 ,😁😁 For action cam DJI is much compact ang look more durable. Ilike the flip screen on insta but me as a lazy vlogger ilike the build of AO4. And for long term use or extrem condition insta ace pro is not yet tested 😀

The most helpful comparision video!

This is the right comparison, compare this camera to DJI Acton 4. I see many KZfaqrs trying to compared it to GoPro which is not even the best in the market. Seems like those people are taking money from GoPro 😂

Thank you for adding battery life on one charge and how long it takes before overheating.

Thanks for your professional review, please advise which camera can take Photo+Video simultaneously, like ex GoPro5

Very fair comparison and comment. Thanks

i also found that the Screen Timeout and the Screen Clarity on Ace Pro are way worse than Action 4 or any action camera on the market. it looks like a gopro4 or 5 screen.. but none of you guys ever mentioned it. 😅

Much more user friendly than Action 4.

I've been stuck in an endless loop of choosing which camera to get and have been close to getting the Action 4, but I now feel I'm entering another loop of procrastination. I'm wanting to film some hiking, landscapes and maybe a timelapse or two. Really not sure which to go for now!

Wow, cant beleive the low light shot is that good.

Thank you for the comparison.

So tempted but I have their last 360deg camrea and the interface is terrible. Think I'll pass and await the 1" sensor version which is bound to be arriving soon - but from which manufacturer?!

Hi which actioncam is better for hiking and biketravels ..i want only make videos on daylight in summer..a good dynamic range is impottant. Thanks

AWESOME INFO DUDE... 😊

Are you limited on resolution or frame rate when you remove the selfie stick?

Does the Ace Pro fit the iSteady Pro 4?

Hallo Werner, auf welcher Stufe hattest du die Schärfe bei der Insta stehen? Auf Mittel oder auf High? Über eine Antwort würde ich mich sehr freuen. Weil die Action 4 und die Gopro doch eine deutlich schönere Schärfe gezeigt haben. Aber ich denke auf High wird es dann identisch sein. Danke und LG Jörg

I like the big flip screen. convenient.

Perfect comparison

no one talks about the down sampling from 8k to 4k, the results are over sharpen or overblown highlights, in addition insta ace pro has more pixels but they are smaller pixels then the dji.

Amazing comparison as always! Can you tell me if I heard correctly that also with the ace pro you can remove the self stick? Thanks!

How does ace pros hdr compare to DJIs 10 bit log? Thats what I want to know! Anybody have any answers???

awesome video brother love it. question: does the 360 ace pro record in mp4 file or the 360 file. I know the action 4 records in mp4. that's a big factor when editing with premiere pro.

Which is better for motovlogging, hero 12, action 4 or ace pro?

Action 4 its a little better dimensions and maybe similar in low light in smooth conditions. But Ace Pro better in image quality.

Which onw would you choose for mountain biking? Insta is more pricy, it' bigger and maybe less durable. Also i'm worried about stabilization in your test. What are your thoughts?

Hey pal! Great vid. Can you use manual settings with hdr activated? So if i set to 100iso in low light to get better quality depending on light?

Great video! However, recently I have been stuck deciding between the Insta360 X3 and the DJI Osmo Action 4. They are both really great cameras but don't offer everything. The areas that one camera specializes in are a disadvantage for the other and vice versa. I like how the X3 provides ultimate versatility, an Apple watch app, GPS, and an amazing app but I am scared of getting it as I am going skiing and I have watched many videos that talk about how fragile the lenses are and how the protectors and guards ruins the image quality especially because I love the third person backpack mount. For the Action 4, I love its design, durability, and quality; everything about it is very good but I don't like how there is no app for the Apple watch that I could use as a remote control like the insta360 and GPS and speedometers can only be accessed using the GPS remote control unlike the X3(I might be wrong) which I cannot get as it does not ship to my country. Also, I heard and saw that it only exports in 1080p, now I don't know if this is correct but this would be a big factor for me as I really prefer the 4k quality export that insta360 X3 provides. Another thing is the field of view, it's great but not that wide especially to record my skiing experience through the mountains. I also had this concern about whether I could use the insta360 third-person backpack mount with the DJI Action 4 along with an adapter to fit the camera onto the mount but I am unsure if it will work. All in all, they are both really great cameras and for the price are really suitable (the Action 4 being a bit better as the adventure combo comes with 3 batteries and a selfie stick whereas the X3 comes with one battery that does not really have a long battery life which could be annoying for me when I am on the mountains and constantly returning to the resort between runs or charging it with a power bank) Could you please help me in choosing the best option for my situation and let me know if the third-person mount can be used with an adapter with the DJI Action 4 that is a great factor for me in deciding my camera for my upcoming trip? Thanks! PS: also if you can it would be great to post a video on how the Action 4 looks on the insta360 third-person mount (if it is compatible.)!

I think because the DJI has a log profile as well as 10-bit color should have definitely got a point against the Ace Pro in the color test since those are 2 big features to have and should have also been mentioned in the dynamic range test, and you should have given another point to DJI because its cheaper

Can you tether an external battery source to the Insta360 Pro so that you can get more operating time than the 1+hours?

Thanks !

Hi i want to buy a camera basically for my bike rides and to capture videos and photos on trips, which camera will be good for me?

Amazing video as always!!! I just got the Ace pro 2 days ago, The only thing I can complain about is Unlike the Gopro, the Ace pro is a very high price compare the Gopro, and it comes without a bag....

That was an incredible comparison!

Thank you for the video. I like to record at night. What is your suggestion for low light? insta look better i guess. Do you agree

The price of the Ace Pro is equivalent to the DJI Action 4 Adventure Combo, you have to buy the battery and other accessories separately

Night video recordings look sharper with ace pro but for same cost we can get DJI action 4 adventure combo which is a winner.

Fantastic! I will be buying an Ace Pro. Thanks for the info!

Some categories should carry more / less weight ... I would give a huge -10 for a non-replaceable lens for example.

Action 4 has the ability to add and remove filters which I do like the only thing I do like about the insta360 is pause during the video which they took away from the Pocket 3 for some reason or am I mistaken? The other question I have is "do you own either camera?" Ever decision in this world is done on some sort of bias. The camera I have in my hand is better than any camera on the market because that one I own. Thanks for posting...

all shots background looks much more detailed with action 4 against insta. Insta blurs all image details that are further than 50 meters.

Great video

What about activation issues with Action 4?

Clearly and completely explained.

Best reviews on KZfaq.. I’m curious, Will the full sensor shooting mode allow for use of ND filters with post stabilizing in app? Can I then film with the 180 rule during the day without a gimbal? I see Insta360 has Nd filters on the website but I see NO ONE has posted using them. I’d like to use nd filters at the motocross track for day time use with the 180 rule and not worry about a gimbal. Or is the HDR good enough where I shouldn’t worry? I’m torn between osmo action 4 and ace pro.

I saw your video comparison and it's very interesting. However, in almost all the shots I noticed better image definition on both the Osmo 4 and the Hero 12. Perhaps they have automatic sharpness enabled and it was disabled on the Ace Pro? Thank you

Anyone else wish the ace pro could have a wider fov? It's a real deal breaker for me since I mainly shoot onboard pov videos

How does that AI on the ace pro, stand up, when editing the footage/colour etc, does it create artifacts?

Where is this filmed? So beautiful!

Hello, I want to click some travel photos, videos. Not like bike ride type or bikers type videos but still some vlogging videos, some cinematic videos and some good photos. What should I buy Action Camera like Insta360 Ace pro or Point&Shoot camera like Sony ZV-1 or ZV-1F??

Which one do you recommend for golf and baseball videos? I'm new to the action camera game. I only own a Dji drone.

sorry @insta360, but that is NOT an "action" camera with a non-removable lens cover and I am sure you will be happy for all the returned units where the either the flip screen or lens is broken and covered by your extended warranty... Nice innovations though for all people that like vlogging only!

The AI warp feature is cool af!

can you hide the selfie stick or thats only on the 360

I like the 360 but the lens is a deal ender, went through that with the Hero 8.

Hey nice comparison! is this in Merano?

for recording I prefer to see the DJI action 4 because the FoV is wider. if ACE pro is not wide enough.

As always a super pro review video, thanx. Is there a way to connect hdmi? I need to use it with capture card. And can it en charged at same time using external mic?

I need the 10 bit colour for underwater colour correction, Ace pro seems rather good tho. Log colour correction is king for me.

Bigger sensor, log profile, natural colours, less bulky are few of them 😊

Incredible scenery! Where is this, exactly?

Can you use free frame while on pure video mode?

Is the accompanying cell phone app mandatory out of box? Can you take this camera brand new out of box and record with it without the cell phone app?

video quality is really flowless (with a bit on the warmer side tone ) but I still like wider view on DJI

Which of them is better for skiing?

The foldable screen is a plus? It s called action cam. So no flip screen needed.

HDR does not work in 60fps for Ace Pro... Please do a comparison in 60fps with 1/120 shutter speed using ND filters.

Does the sticks have controls?

Thanks

It is absolutely impossible to find the right camera...1000 reviews and no reviewer seems to tell the right story, is focussed on how to behave like a clown or is sponsored...I will.try again in March or so😂😂😂 ...pfff

Is the ace pro even an action camera? Looks more of a vlogging camera that can go underwater.

Hello, I want to click some travel photos, videos. Not like bike ride type or bikers type videos but still some vlogging videos, some cinematic videos, some good photos and some snowfall videos. What should I buy Action Camera like Insta360 Ace pro or Dji pocket 3 or Point&Shoot camera like Sony ZV-1 or ZV-1F??

Not sponsored but a pre-release camera... Ace Pro screen resolution should also be mentioned, along with the potential breaking point of the screen hinge. And the lens being non-replaceable should have lost it a point.

Also, the camera doesn’t have the AI warp feature because the processor isn’t good enough and is entirely app based. You also have to pay for it after 3 months, but they dont put that in the ad

Can you zoom with the Ace Pro while recording?

Nope... I have seen so many footages, its really good but didn't beat DJI Action 4. But Yes it's definetly at 2nd place now and go pro now is 3rd

What I like about this Ace Pro: Memory album - with AI Highlight to create fast video clips, Instant Delete, Add stats to your video (speed, distance, Slope, location), Excellent Night shot, wrist monitor/preview in real-time, Impressive AI tech (game charger!), and of course the prestige Leica lens!! Accessories: Quick Reader $70 Multi Mount $41 Quick Release Mount $35 Power charging station $50 Battery $35 Wrist watch/monitor $?? Can easily add over $200 on top of the basic package of Ace Pro!! At this point, the DJI Action 4 Adventure pack seems like a great deal! Battery run time 100 mins. In actual, if you use the flip screen/live view a lot, I'm pretty sure the run time will be much much lower.

Does DJI mic works for ace pro?

For me, HDR with only 8-bit color depth is pseudo HDR. Only 256 instead of 1024 brightness levels per color channel. No Smart TV switches to HDR mode.

"... you can easily connect either camera to a microphone via USB-C"... is that true? I see the Ace Pro sells a microphone adapter. The Action 4 truly connects to almost anything, and can now wirelessly connect to the DJI Mic 2 via Bluetooth.

no log, no 10bit, no RAW photo, if it had these two features I could take the higher price tag

Not being able to replace the lens cover is an instant no go to me. Especially knowing that the review units KZfaqrs have received, DID have a removable lens cover! This ALONE kills the entire system for anyone doing actual sports. I don't want to have to wait 2 weeks to have a bit of protective glass replaced. Does it even have 10 bit?

One thing I didn't like seeing is blue hue snow with the DJI. But on the other hand, I don't like orange faces. Ace pro had white snow and good looking blue sky. But that face didn't look right. They should come together and make a camera for a perfect one 😂

Can we connect any wireless mics?

action 4 £290 acce pro £420 (blaze it)

it seems to me that the Ace Pro is not so well suited for actiony situations. The flipping screen is all nice and handy until you mount the camera close to a helmet and then you can't flip it anymore. Or the fact that the remote has a touch screen and not solid buttons that can be pressed more easily in shaky situation or with a light glove. The lack of a replaceable lens cover would also point to the camera being intended for more casual use.

See i find your face to be better looking when it's orangy, and i would've choosen that look while editing a video for a KZfaq channel so how to know which colour profile will majority of the people prefer? As my choice seems to be different than the majority and it'll effect the reach of the video too right?

$200 cheaper for the Action 4. Wipe the mud off with finger every 30 seconds, replace the lens every few weeks. Replace the camera when rocks smash it for a fraction of the cost with Dji care refresh. Dji looks better for my use.

Which is more beter because i want to buy but i cannot decide which

If the DJI had 20 mega pixels it would probably be likely be the best choice of action cameras. The 5 is rumored to be 12 mega pixels . Having such low mega pixels will always make the camera suffer in quality

Okay I don't understand why so many KZfaqrs are not uploading their videos in high def! I mean this is a great review don't get me wrong but if we're going to be showing video content of 8K 6K 4K then at minimum we should be uploading those videos at least in 4k right??

Hi, what do you guys think 💭 about ace pro ?? I need review from someone who use ace pro 😊

no 10bit no log profile, worse stabilization and the camera is a winner? 🤡
