The Ace Pro makes use of a 1/1.3-inch sensor, which is what the DJI Action 4 makes use of as effectively. I used to be unable to verify whether or not these are the very same sensor, however they’re equal in dimension. It’s virtually 50 % bigger than the GoPro Hero 12’s sensor, however considerably smaller than the 1-inch sensor of the One RS.

As with the lens, the bigger sensor, whereas bigger, continues to be fairly small and the variations in picture high quality between any of those cameras goes to rely extra on the precise capturing modes, lighting circumstances, and different variables somewhat than sensor dimension. That stated, capturing the Insta360 One RS, Ace Pro, and GoPro Hero 12 side-by-side did reveal how way more element the One RS is able to, regardless of being significantly older. If the very best video high quality is what you’re after, the One RS Leica mod stays the motion cam to beat.

Sometimes you must zoom in to see the distinction although. What you see with the GoPro, Action 4, and Ace Pro are extra sharpening artifacts, which aren’t there within the One RS footage. How a lot this issues actually relies on what you do along with your video. If you’re recording video that’s primarily supposed for TikTok or Instagram, that is all a moot level. The high quality of video that both of these companies streams could possibly be replicated with a pinhole digital camera. If that’s your viewers, get no matter digital camera is reasonable this week.

I discovered the footage from the Ace Pro to be largely indistinguishable from my GoPro Hero 12. Each has its strengths. The GoPro appears to deal with excessive vibration and windy audio a lot better, whereas the Ace Pro had the sting in well-lit outside situations, because of wonderful colour rendition.

I virtually by no means shoot something however Log footage with my GoPro and do all my coloring in post-production as a result of I don’t just like the GoPro’s colour rendition defaults. With the Ace Pro, I used to be pleasantly shocked to seek out the colours are fairly good. They pop with out showing oversaturated, and pores and skin tones of all shades rendered with true-to-life colour.

I ought to word that there isn’t a choice to report Log video on the Ace Pro, so when you don’t like the colour rendition, this isn’t the digital camera for you.

Video decision goes to 8K at 24 fps, which no different motion cam can match. It’s spectacular on paper, and when you want zoom by crop to 4K it is perhaps helpful, however the world just isn’t at present arrange for 8K footage. Go shoot 10 minutes value and check out opening it in Premiere or Final Cut when you don’t imagine me. There are additionally only a few 8K screens on the market, and none which are reasonably priced. Still, when you want 8K in an motion cam, the Ace Pro is your solely choice, or will probably be. This characteristic was not enabled throughout my testing and is coming in a future replace.

What’s barely complicated to me is that the Ace Pro doesn’t have a 5.3K or 6K setting just like the non-Pro Ace digital camera. I’d like to see Insta360 add this down the street. It’s value noting that Insta360 has a fantastic observe report of including new options by way of firmware updates.
