Thank you for this video. I got my Ace Pro for a similar reason, although I generally output to 1080 and film at 4k to get the 2x punch from the resolution when needed, there are times when I have to digitally zoom so the 4x punch from 8k would be sweet. There are, of course, other reasons I went with the Ace Pro. Early days yet so I'm learning new ways of doing old things as well as new ways to do new things. You could also use the Ace Pro at 4k and use the zoom feature to get the central region of the 8k image. You would have to make sure that the object is in the centre of the image and use something like the GPS Preview Remote or phone app if you don't want to keep stretching. it might take a minor change in the workflow to get used to doing that (e.g. putting the item on a stand or scissor jack set to the right height before hand) but after a while it may become second nature. This way you get the pixel binning and HDR in 4k and get the extra punch with the zoom in feature when needed. It would be nice if you could tweak the centre point of the crop zoom to match the set up you have, but I don't think that you can do that. If enough people ask for it perhaps they could add that feature in a firmware upgrade.
I filmed for an hour with no overheating issues One video did record for about an hour and 20 minutes and then it did overheat. Switching it to 4k solved the problem
@@GearsAndTech I've found putting a metal Ulanzi cage on the camera helps dissipate the heat and gave me an extra 20min in 8k before overheating on a warm day, no breeze, in a sunny window.
Glad I could help I do actually like this camera a lot. And it's better than the go pro in a lot of ways. You can still shoot on 4k with this if you want to keep everything more affordable. You would benefit from the bigger sensor even at lower resolutions.
If you already have a camera, even on your phone, then that's a good enough camera to start filming a channel. If you decide to upgrade then you have a better understanding about what you do and don't want on the camera. For editing you could look at the free version of Davinci Resolve to see if that suits you.
@@hugogamelas Yes, but his studio isn't that big. An infinite studio would take far too long to hoover. in real life on such a wide angle there comes point in the distance where objects are reduced in scale and detail that loosing infinity focus isn't really a problem, it's about balancing the dioptre to get the closest and furthest point you need in focus. It's not often that I need to have my face up close enough and still have the distant mountains in focus - generally in this type of situation I'd want the camera a little further away so that my head isn't blocking the view of the mountains, or just omit myself completely and focus on the star of the shot.

6 months later I am still liking this camera over my hero 8
Hello tech and gears it's the Ugandan boy we love your videos so much and every two days we wait to watch your videos much love from Uganda 🇺🇬 Africa
Very nice content hope you help me out tech and gears you will have changed my life and God will bless you so much, love your videos 🙏❤️
Hello tech and gears l wanted to ask does it over heat when shooting 8k
I filmed for an hour with no overheating issues
One video did record for about an hour and 20 minutes and then it did overheat.
Switching it to 4k solved the problem

I've been wanting to start a channel for so long but have procrastinated. Would this be a good camera to start with? I really have no idea. Thanks
Nevermind you've answered the question. Go Pro it is
Glad I could help

Hope that helps
Bro what's good easy editing programs these days. For gopro. I have not filmed or edited vids in 12 years lol. Since using adobe

On the ace pro shots, your head is not in full focus, because the minimum focus distance on the ace is very big.
True.
Im looking at adding a lens to it to adjust that
@@GearsAndTech been there, but then you will loose Infinity focus.
