- With the Ace Pro, Insta360 have put the action camera market on notice; there's a new kid on the block, but is it any good for motorcyclists?
In this video, I'm taking a look at the new Insta360 Ace Pro from the perspective of a motorcyclist and also a photographer. With so many of us strapping action cameras to ourselves and our bikes, what makes this camera different and is it a worthwhile purchase for your motovlogging adventures?

Good video Matt, been looking at various cameras lately but its information overload. This is a great help. Cheers.
Glad to hear you found it helpful. It's interesting all the functions these cameras have, but sometimes something simpler might be nice.
That was a refreshingly constructive critique of the product, and free from click-bait sensationalism! Great video sir, many thanks for sharing… 😁👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks Adam, glad you found it ok to watch 👍🏻
Very informative Matt. A lot of information for the novice and I’ll watch again to take more of it in. I’ve just started doing some videos on my iPhone. I’m in South Wales for a while and walked some of the Gower coastline. It takes some getting over talking while there’s people around but I guess that gets easier the more you do. Also, there may be a trip to Northern Italy on the cards this summer, through the Dolomites and I want to record as much of that as I can. Have a great weekend Matt! 👍
Sounds like you have some good trips planned Jer. Personally I feel like a total berk talking to the camera even when there's no one around, I think it's a rare person who doesn't feel a bit self conscious doing that sort of thing! Good luck with recording your adventures, at the very least it'll be something to look back on in future times.
Very useful video, thnx for the expert opinion, it is nice to hear from one who knows what one is talking about. Cheers!
Thanks, and glad you found it useful.
Thanks for that honest review Mat, it’s great that they are constantly pushing the capabilities of them, the low light footage is incredible, I suppose that the file size is quite large though, both Insta and DJI seem to be getting way ahead of GoPro now, all the best buddy 👍
I have to admit that the file sizes are huge, which might bog down older computers (I could've done with mentioning that in the review!). I think GoPro might be in trouble if they don't at least try to catch up with the new kids on the block.
Thank you for the info!
You’re very welcome
That looks like a great bit of kit Matt, the low light shots do look dramatic.
Very impressive, I'm quite won over by it. There must have been a problem with the Bluetooth connectivity because that would be a winner of a feature, I'd love that. Very much might be my next camera.. I have to discipline myself because I don't NEED another camera right now... but... well... you know how these purchases go that are in the WANT pile.. heheh. Happy days mate.
I understand that, I didn't need a new camera either but the lure of a new bit of kit is always a bit to overwhelming. It's a shame about the mic thing, I really do hope they reinstate it as it's be an almost perfect action camera then.
Thank you for the information.
You're very welcome.
Interesting to have the tools of trade explained
Thanks Matt....and it wasn't raining for a change 😊
Thanks Mark, but don't be fooled, of the many outings that this video is made up of, I got soaked on most of them 😁🌧️
Matt, agree with everything... I purchased one a few months ago and I love it.
I see you did a much more in-depth review than I did, well worth the watch. Same as you I wasn't really unhappy with my GoPro's, but the Ace Pro just edges ahead I think.
Brilliant 😊 saving up for one😊
I don't think you'd be unhappy with any of the latest action cameras, but I think this is a good choice for motovloggers 👌🏻
Hi Matt, thanks for sharing your thoughts on the AcePro. For the past few months I have been looking at what to replace my GoPro 11 with and to be honest with you the AcePro has some fantastic features on it and yes it does work extremely well in low light but in my opinion where the AcePro falls down is in its video quality. On every review I have watched the actual video image quality reminds me of the early action cameras ie soft and pixilated. Please note I am not just saying this about the AcePro but also on the DJI Action 4. Wouldn't it be great if a company could take all of the best pieces from GoPro, DJI and Insta360 and put them into one "Super Action Cam" .
Ride safe and keep producing great content, subscribed 👍🏻
Thanks Shane, glad to have you onboard (I've subbed to you too). Yes I agree it'd be a great thing if someone could make a cam with all the best features, but as I said in the video I think all cameras are a series of compromises so I don't think we'll ever see one that ticks all the boxes for everyone. I've been running the AcePro alongside the Hero11 for most of this year and I haven't found the AceP to be soft or pixelated at all, the only area it loses out on is the minimum focus distance so if you're using the camera for arm's length talking head stuff, then it might look a bit soft. But that's not what I use it for and I actually prefer the image quality over the Hero11, so much so I'm actually selling off my GoPro's to fund a second AcePro 👍🏻
@@ClassicRides many thanks Matt. A friend has heavily invested in Insta360 products including the AcePro and the new Insta360 X4 and he has been delighted with them. I am seeing him later this month so I will take the opportunity to have a good look at the AcePro then. Fingers crossed they will update the software to allow wireless connectivity to the mics again 👍🏻
@@MrSTAdventures They already have, there was an update a few weeks ago that's allowed the wireless mics to connect again. Seems they actually listen to customer feedback.
Very informative even a muppet like me sort of understood what you said thanks matt
No problem Ian, glad to have been of service 👍
So you think this camera would be good for use as a every day camera for security purposes. If worst was to happen, you have a record for insurance.
For sure you could definitely use it for that, it has a loop function where it’ll keep recording like a dash-cam. But then if you want to use it for other things it’s got loads of other functions too.
Hey brother! Please tell me how well it performs regarding wind noise reduction while riding and talking on average speeds of 100kmph.
I’d say it’s a little better than GoOro at wind noise reduction, but at 100kph I think you’re going to struggle with any action camera. Your best bet is linking up a mic inside your helmet.
that's a pretty interesting camera, real pity they removed that bluetooth connection. I wonder how useful or useless the digital motion blur in that camera is. Is it about as useful as adding the motion blur on your desktop?
Actually I just noticed this morning there's been a firmware update and they've made bluetooth mic connection work again, so I reckon that's super useful for motorbikers. Not tried the motion blur thing to be fair so can't comment, but there's ND filters available if you want to do it properly 👍🏻
@@ClassicRides good to know. Back to the blur there's no proper way of doing it as the digital stabilization doesn't work with ND's so this way it another there's no good solution
@@UncleLongbeardthat’s a fair point, I suppose you would be trading stab for a lower shutter speed. Its a conundrum for sure!
Class apart 👏 👌
I think so.
