I will finally get my Ace Pro 2 in the next few days. Thanks for the video. These are very good settings. I'm glad they keep fine tuning the Ace Pro 2 :)
If anyone ordered a while back and it hasn’t shipped yet, just send them an email with your order number and ask for an update. Guarantee you they will follow up with a shipping confirmation. Just happened with me with a week left of their 30 day expected timeframe.
1:39 Hello! If I do not know how to colorgrade it does not really help me to see how it should look like in the preview 😉 In this case I would recommend to film in Standardmode. Only people who know how to colorgrade (or at least apply luts) should use log profiles.
if you don't know how to colorgrade, of course you should not use log, but i see people using log and then just applying basic lut and they call it colorgrading so here you can see with the preview how it should look in normal colors so you have an idea about it in terms of exposure and so on
I also very much wanted back the Flat profile. But mainly because it has far less contrast than standard, which, to me, is overdone and results in hotspots or very dark shadows. That is why it is named Flat.
These are some great additions. I really like the low stabilization. I agree with you that it looked more realistic. I wonder how it performs in lowlight. I also like the flat color profile where you can just adjust the saturation and you don't have to worry about grading 8-bit log footage, even though it's probably not an issue. I am curious if the exposure settings had to do with the ISO max resetting on a power cycle. I will definitely be testing that out. If they didn't, I'm going to post a video of the issue. I communicated the issue with their support over a month ago so they've had plenty of time.
Oh that's cool. I wanted to go out using it in low light tonight but we have lots of rain and cold weather I prefer not getting sick hehehe maybe I will record a chill video in my studio setup at home hehe
Agree but selling is 👎 Here in Croatia is still in pre-order status. Is it proffesional? Furthermore problems with fogging are not new. I have insta x2 genuine case and have to see how terible is. I still thinking between insta and dji. So far insta is not reliable. I need camera for underwater. Is it reliable? Doubt... If they have fog outside underwater will be 3x worse
It does not look like the camera is available yet, at least not on their website. And this is backed up by lack of any recent unboxing etc videos on this camera. This disappearance remains a mystery.
Some people got their units. And I've been told that within the 2-3 upcoming weeks the shipping will become way faster If you are interested in getting one, use my link and you will be delivered hopefully soon
Finally, since Oct 25th, yesterday I just received my insta360 Ace Pro 2, and I have the latest firmware update! Stayed up all night to learn the camera. Simply amazing image quality when using manual.
@photorabz I am in New York, I bought it from their website a day or so after it launched. I discovered your channel out of frustration, wanting to know why it was out of stock and people complaining about issues with the camera. I work in video production, and let me tell you, the Ace Pro 2 is AMAZING! Less than a day having it and figuring out the settings to get crystal clear cinematic footage as they show on their insta360 commercials for the Ace Pro 2. People complaining are paid haters and people that are inexperienced with filmmaking, thinking a camera out the box is supposed to work like magic. This is why they have manual controls for professionals who understand filmmaking and know how to work any camera.
My Ace Pro 2 still has significant jitter in thin tree branches even after the v1.1.6 Update. The only way around this issue is to record in iLog profile which reduces the jitter somewhat but adds to the post processing time.
@@photorabz FYI: I bought both the GoPro 13 and Action 5 Pro for comparison and neither of them have the jitter issue. I love everything about the Ace Pro 2 but the video quality so I'm going to return it. I'm probably going to keep the DJI Action 5 Pro just for the rare occasion I shoot video in low light.
Thanks a lot photorabz very good firmware update but something is missing, the possibility to put =(I-Log in hight frame rate in normal mode and slow motion mode *120fps like DJI osmo action 5 pro as) it would be very good to add this possibility in a next firmware update IMO... hope so J'ai testé la DJI et la insta360 et je préfère pour la qualité d'image la insta360 ace pro 2 merci encore photorabz.
I just got my ace pro 2 today and tested this very thing. Taking a quick video of myself indoors (very low light) I can tell you that pure video seems much better than standard video for low light. My face retained way more detail in pure video and colors seemed better.
It seems to me that the image is really poor, and the stabilization is also poor (not very smooth, similar to GoPro 6). Maybe it's because of TH-cam compression and the fact that I don't have Ace Pro 2 or Action5 with me, but lately the more I watch it, the more I think that Action 5 is a better product. I have the comfort that I'm not in a hurry to buy a new camera, so maybe the Action 6 (it may be even more expensive than the current Action 5) as long as they can match e.g. video at night to the Ace Pro 2, and they could add some hyperlapse functions like startrials, etc.
I am just wondering, why would someone use Flat, not LOG, then color grade Flat to an utmost minimum, just to bring it back to Normal color profile? Not a rebuttal or anything, just wondering why would someone in todays age, use Flat.
Flat is less saturated than stdrd Hence lots of people including me find the stdrd a bit oversaturated Flat is a bit less saturated than my likings But it's better adding saturation than removing saturation This is my own opinion
interesting, you never talking behind the camera !!. point camera away and say something about surrounds,. want to hear how the camera audio handle. compare to front and back.
Thx. I can send you some files in private but this is not a topic that I find interesting Because vocal enhancement will work with front mic Wind reduction will take wind and reduce it and it is not perfect for front facing shot And basically if you want to be behind any camera you need a mic because camera mics are always pointing forward
Partout. Mais selon mes sources la camera sera distribuée Dans Les semaines à venir Donc si TU es intéressé passe commande via Mon lien (j'ai Bien insisté qu'ils distribuent Les commandes venant de ma part en premier)
I quite like the flat profile as it seems to look more natural. Hopefully, Insta360 will improve further by release more updates.
Hopefully
I will finally get my Ace Pro 2 in the next few days. Thanks for the video. These are very good settings. I'm glad they keep fine tuning the Ace Pro 2 :)
Enjoy!finally you will get it

Amazing
Ordered mine on 12/02. Hoping it comes by the new year!!
Hope so. You used my link?
I'm glad to see new firmware updates coming out for this camera, but I've yet to know anyone other than you in France that received their Ace Pro 2
I know lots of people who got their cameras. On my affiliate links I can see orders until Nov 9 are delivered and passed the date for returns so ...

Thank you for summary review! Nice additions! Waiting more interesting improvements!
Much appreciated
I also very much wanted back the Flat profile. But mainly because it has far less contrast than standard, which, to me, is overdone and results in hotspots or very dark shadows. That is why it is named Flat.
Finally we got it
@@photorabz Yes, I used to shoot with that profile exclusively, and I was puzzled why it was removed in the new one. I guess they listen.
Yess
Which micro are you using?
DJI mic mini

handy improvments just updated mine, look forward to testing them out on my motorbike when the weather allows ;0) thanks and keep up the great videos
Thx alot. I wanted to do more tests today but shitty weather here hehehe
Hi my friend, Insta360 constantly updates the camera. It shows that they are serious and listen to feedback.
100% . They have to ;)

I dnt have fog outside nor underwater

Yeah I know. Actually these small sensors struggle alot with these tiny things

I see
Hi, is there a way to turn off all the distortion on the ace pro 2?
(The fish bowl effect)
Thank you.
Mega view
Nice video... Can you pls tell which sharpness level is these videos shot on ?
Medium
was it filmed in Lyon ?
Reims
Thanks a lot photorabz very good firmware update but something is missing, the possibility to put =(I-Log in hight frame rate in normal mode and slow motion mode *120fps like DJI osmo action 5 pro as) it would be very good to add this possibility in a next firmware update IMO... hope so J'ai testé la DJI et la insta360 et je préfère pour la qualité d'image la insta360 ace pro 2 merci encore photorabz.
My pleasure 🙏🙏
@@photorabz Je suis maintenant abonné à ta chaine youtube bye!!
Merci
no horizon correction?
you can activate it, but i dont like it
Do you notice any improvement in low light pure video mode?
Couldn't try it yet. The weather is bad here today. Maybe tomorrow I can try it
@photorabz thank you. Keep up the great work
Thx

@johnd9357 pure video is quite amazing with what it can do in low light with such a small sensor
Standard looks much better than Flat to me.
Flat is less saturated so you can add as much as you want
It's cool to see camera firmware updates available but not the camera itself being available. :))))
Like the fov boost from dji hehe. The camera. Is being shipped slowly now but that will increase and get to it's normal pace soon
the inscription insta360 ice pro 2 is erased with a finger on the pro 1 there was no such thing!
I did not understand
the inscription of the camera name is erased with your finger
How is that
I began to notice that the name had become dim, I held my finger and it was almost erased... Poor quality
Not on mine
It seems to me that the image is really poor, and the stabilization is also poor (not very smooth, similar to GoPro 6). Maybe it's because of TH-cam compression and the fact that I don't have Ace Pro 2 or Action5 with me, but lately the more I watch it, the more I think that Action 5 is a better product.

Action 6 is lower than 5pro
I am just wondering, why would someone use Flat, not LOG, then color grade Flat to an utmost minimum, just to bring it back to Normal color profile? Not a rebuttal or anything, just wondering why would someone in todays age, use Flat.
Flat is less saturated than stdrd

When come insta ace pro2 in india 😢
On new year
interesting, you never talking behind the camera !!. point camera away and say something about surrounds,. want to hear how the camera audio handle. compare to front and back.
Thx. I can send you some files in private but this is not a topic that I find interesting
Because vocal enhancement will work with front mic
Wind reduction will take wind and reduce it and it is not perfect for front facing shot
And basically if you want to be behind any camera you need a mic because camera mics are always pointing forward
But not 10bit😢😢😢😢
Why you need it?
@@photorabz because 10 bit going to give you better colors, if you trying to color grading. Plus if you see the sky with 8 but you have color bending
These are cams to use quickly not for cinema. So I dnt mind 8bit at all and of course I won't color grade them of these cameras
@@photorabz well I will calor grade because I do real estate
Awesome
Wow that video looked so washed out.
Flat profile
@photorabz Yes very flat
Yea but not log
I still feel you are not really sharp
You mean in focus?
Pénurie en France
Partout. Mais selon mes sources la camera sera distribuée Dans Les semaines à venir
Donc si TU es intéressé passe commande via Mon lien (j'ai Bien insisté qu'ils distribuent Les commandes venant de ma part en premier)
