The past few months After we unboxed the Insta360 GO 3 Someone approached me asking If Insta360 has any other new products this year If everyone has been watching the film typhoon, they would know There's something even more powerful coming at the end of this year I'm not hiding it now. This is the model. Speaking of this type of sports camera, The latest Ace series from Insta 360, Can be considered as the first integrated sports camera from Insta 360. If you all remember. Ada has introduced this Insta360 ONE RS before With it, you can switch out the lens module yourself In addition to being convertible into a sports camera It can also become a 360-degree panorama camera But the Ace series It's different from this series It feels like a brand new product line developed by Insta 360 It's just a pure sports camera There's no interchangeable lens module anymore Speaking of the Ace series It has two options in total Specifically, the Ace Pro and the Ace The differences between these two will be marked on the screen For everyone to refer to So what about this time We are going to review the machine, That is, this Ace Pro Considered among all sports cameras This should be considered one of the largest photoreceptors Also, this lens is a joint venture with Leica Before this, Insta360 ONE RS also had a lens in collaboration with Leica However, it needed to be purchased separately Only then could you make a replacement In terms of hardware The most obvious difference is next to this lens There is an additional preview screen So you can know the current settings while shooting There is also a battery life indicator About the battery section The Ace Pro did not follow the previous ONE RS's battery replacement design But it has its own replaceable battery The battery capacity is 1650mAh In actual tests, it continued shooting video at 4K 60 frames It can probably record for more than 80 minutes The official value is 100 minutes Please stay tuned everybody Base on your actual user experience If you're taking it out to play and shoot I suggest everyone to bring a few more batteries Or bring a portable power bank It would be more convenient to charge at any time Additionally It supports fast charging feature. With just 22 minutes of charging, you can charge the battery from 0 to 80%. In 46 minutes, it can be fully charged. When the lid is completely closed, the device is IPX8 waterproof. Waterproof depth up to 10 meters Another hardware feature of this Ace Pro It has a 2.4-inch flip screen Can flip between 0-180 degrees Whether you are taking a selfie or shooting from a low angle It can provide a very convenient composition and preview experience Additionally, it is equipped with three sets of microphones There are three different sound collection modes built in Everyone can take a listen What you are hearing now is the recording effect using the Insta360 Ace Pro Currently using stereo sound recording Everyone, please listen first This is how the stereo effect sounds Don't forget that this is by the sea So, there is a sea breeze The wind noise reduction feature is now turned on The wind is actually quite strong, you can hear it This is how the wind noise reduction feature performs What you are hearing now is the enhanced directionality He tends to pick up sounds from the front Everyone can have a listen Let's see how it performs in this mode Next, let's talk about its shooting performance Under daylight conditions A 1/1.3-inch sensor Enhanced by Leica Produces quite impressive images The color has a distinctive Leica style The following footage was shot in 4K at 60 frames per second Performance of highlights and shadows I think it's quite excellent for an action camera. Additionally, it supports HDR video format. However, HDR is only supported at 4K 30 frames. Or it works at lower resolution settings. You can compare the footage in 4K 30 frames and 4K 60 frames. It can be used in shooting environments with a significant contrast in light and darkness. Shooting with HDR Allows preserving more details in light and shade Like taking a selfie When your back is against the light Your face won't be as dark And the skin tone looks It will also look more natural About the shooting angle Everyone can look at the example in the screen Targeting your shooting subject You can choose your own shooting angle Generally speaking The angle captured by the action camera The main reason it is larger So if you want to bring the distant view closer You have to move forward Or rely on the digital zoom of the camera body to enlarge the screen Or even present it by enlarging through post-editing cropping But digital zoom and enlarging the screen These will cause a loss of image quality It's too big That final product It's almost unwatchable This time Ace Pro has launched a clear zoom function All you need to do is press the arrow icon on the screen Or double-click The screen will immediately enlarge two times And also it maintains the quality without any loss If you want to enlarge it during post-editing, There will be more details to present This function here, I find it particularly practical In terms of a sports camera Is the anti-shake stable or not? It's one of the main considerations for many consumers when purchasing I think you don't need to worry too much about Ace Pro As you can see, this footage was taken while mounted on a motorcycle. The difference between disabling and enabling high anti-shake After watching this, everyone should probably think that, The stabilisation feature of Ace Pro is quite powerful. Whether you're filming while walking, running, exercising, or riding It can still provide you with a quite stable picture If you want to adjust the shot afterwards, You can also shoot the Freeframe mode we introduced before You can use the Insta360 software to make adjustments after the fact speaking of shooting in the night, I believe anyone who has used a sports camera knows The Achilles heel of sports cameras Such as night shots and low light source It's not that you can't shoot It's about the resulting image, If it is not too dark then it is too blurry This time, Ace Pro in night shooting this requires a lot of effort, In addition to the 1/1.3 light sensor that can enhance light intake It's also equipped with a 5-nanometer AI chip. It's specifically used to handle noise reduction. When filming at night, simply turn on PureVideo mode, You can see the difference between regular shooting and PureVideo shooting In low-light shooting environments the brightness can greatly increase, And through the noise reduction of the AI chip The noise in the picture will also be much less But because of the noise reduction The sharpness of the picture will decrease a bit but the resulting images, Honestly, I think it's quite clear. Also, it's within a usable range. Additionally, in PureVideo mode The best quality can only record 4K at 30 fps Anti-shake will also be set to the highest level by default We tried mounting it on a motorcycle for nighttime shooting The stability and picture quality are much better than the average dashcam. The quality of night shooting like this I think it is currently speaking for sports cameras It should be the strongest In addition to the improvement in image quality and night shooting Ace Pro's performance in auxiliary filming Have made a significant breakthrough Every time you want to take a selfie The selfie stick is pulled too long It's very troublesome to manually press the record button At this time, you only need to turn on the gesture control in the settings Or voice control 2.0 Speak it out Or use gestures Can make the Ace Pro start recording If you do not want to keep this recorded video By holding the record button The video I just recorded, It won't be available in Ace Pro When arranging your materials, It will be much easier. The recording features of the Ace Pro this time A pause recording function has also been added At the moment of recording You can press the pause button on the screen When you want to continue shooting When you continue to press the record button, Continue recording from the previous clip This method of shooting uh This can reduce the number of these little snippets. In terms of organizing materials It's relatively less worrisome In addition, inside the album You can even deal with the clips that have already been recorded The rerecording feature, Then he follows with the film ending. Start a new recording Like this It can also significantly reduce, The pain of sorting out a bunch of scattered materials Now everyone is into AI Insta360 is no exception So, in the settings of the Ace Pro this time An additional AI highlight selection assistant pops up Once this feature is activated Under normal recording conditions Ace Pro will in your recorded videos Look for the highlights And mark them individually During playback, Just press the flag logo at the bottom You can see the AI-selected clips and play them You can even add new clips It's quite amazing. Through the selected clip method You can also apply this material directly, and save it as a separate file. Or directly merge into a segment this way, you can quickly edit and produce, Or by preserving highlights Deleting the old videos Free up capacity on the memory card In terms of sorting and shooting I think this time Insta360 has done a great job, Besides the AI selection built into the body Currently, there is an 'AI WARP' feature in the app It can be fun for everyone Then this function You can draw AI pictures of the people being shot You want to become an astronaut Turn it into a cartoon style, and so on This clip becomes an AI scene Can make your video look different from others. A little cooler And while waiting like this, You can still jump out of the APP to do other things The APP supports background downloading, So, whether you are downloading files from the camera, Or output the clip through the APP You can still jump out of the APP to do other things. it greatly harnesses the convenience of mobile phones, I think the Ace Pro is already a very potent sports camera But if you want it to be powerful Make it even more powerful We have to rely on accessories. This time, the Ace Pro's box contains more than just a transmission cable. There is only one standard base There's also a sticky base We typically use it with a selfie stick Or stick it on a motorcycle I won't go into too much detail here What really works is Ada is going to introduce this GPS navigation remote control watch Then this watch Can perfectly interact with Ace Pro When you wear it daily, it's just an ordinary smartwatch. Allows you to see time and compass But after you pair with Ace Pro Even if the Ace Pro is powered off You can also quickly open Ace Pro via your watch to perform shooting and recording functions. And the coolest part is You can directly control the Ace Pro on this watch The Ace Pro control interface will also be fully displayed on your watch When it comes to shooting, Even if the Ace Pro screen is turned off, The shot will be displayed on the watch face When shooting scenes underwater that we cannot see, Or during those scenes where you are speaking to a preset audience This is very convenient However, the wireless transmission of this screen There's a limit to the connection distance. If your watch is too far from Ace Pro It will also lose connection directly You have to pay a little attention to this After wearing this watch Ace Pro can add GPS records on the screen. All you need to do is throw the video into the Insta360 software or post it on the APP. You can get speed, angle, distance, route... and other GPS information It's fully presented in the video For those who enjoy using sports cameras for recording Like running Ride a mountain bike Or riding a road bike For friends who record life, This feature It is quite practical What about other accessories Like there's also a quick-release bracket. A multifunctional tripod, microphone adapter...etc. I won't go into much detail. If needed You can check out our article below for details So that's our hands-on with the Insta 360 Ace Pro this time. Speaking about action cameras, In recent years, it doesn't seem like there's been any new, impressive models Nothing more than that It's just to make the photosensitive component bigger Increase the battery life a bit more This is also one of the reasons many people haven't updated their sports cameras in recent years Because the upgrade degree is simply too small This is Ace Pro launched by Insta 360 this time It has a large light-sensing element and the addition of Leica No matter how you shoot during the day, The picture quality is quite impressive. Whether you want to shoot sports If you want to take a selfie or a Vlog Also, it has a powerful image stabilization feature You can shoot a very stable scene Night shots can be achieved through the PureVideo mode, It can give you a very clear low-light scene Even if the sharpness is not as high as a DSLR. But you can shoot watchable, usable night films I think it's totally worth it Its performance is even better than many mobile phones There has been a significant improvement in night photography I think the Insta360 Ace Pro is an excellent sports camera In the end, some people may want to ask Should you buy a sports camera? Do I shoot with my mobile phone or camera? Actually, this is quite a point, I think there isn't a completely correct answer It should depend on what situation you want to shoot and what product you use If you say you are taking a more extreme angle If you want to mount it on a motorcycle so a sports camera may be a better option, If you seek the ultimate picture quality You should take a single-lens camera to shoot So There is really no correct answer to this. I feel if you frequently film outdoor life A sports camera with good shooting ability to replace the phone To be more substantial The above are Ada's unboxing thoughts on the Ace Pro I am Arda, the computer king If you like this video Remember to like, subscribe, and turn on the notification bell for me.
