Purchased the X4 without watching any reviews and thinking a lot... and when watching reviews and videos shot on it, feels like a right choice..no need to effort in recording...post production does everything..when i am travelling, i want to enjoy the view more and think about angles of recording less... glad it was picked up as a choice..

I've used all of these cameras (except the pocket 3) and my pick is the Action 4, the sheer reliability, image quality, wide FOV (great for biking which is my main use) and ease of adding a mic made it the clear winner for me. 

I was particularly disappointed with the Ace Pro, it had some cool features but the stability and tight FOV made it unusable for me.

The X4 is very good but I only consider it suitable for short b-roll clips or short activity shots...manually re-framing shots can be tedious and longer shots can be quite a bit of work.

The Hero 12 has a nice image and the Lens Mod 2 is really nice for biking shots but the camera feels dated and I hate how hard it is to link a mic to it, I also don't like how the Sd card, battery and charging port are all under one door, DJI have the right idea by giving the USB port it's own door keeping the battery and Sd card always sealed even when using accessories.

Since purchasing the DJI Action 4 last September, I seem to reach for that camera more than any of my other ones. And since purchasing the Action 4, I have also picked up the Hero 12 and Pocket 3. And I'm still on the Insta360 X2, I never seem to use it enough upgrade. Great review, they all seem like very good cameras depending on your needs. So many affordable choices for solo content creators. Thanks for sharing.

The one thing nobody ever talks about on the pocket 3 is panoramic shots. It takes four Stills and stitches them together to create a panoramic. In camera the stitching is OK. It also saves all 4 stills. You get way better quality by stitching them after the fact in Photoshop or whatever editor you use. I have used this in multiple parties with a big group of 20 or more. I simply put the pocket three on the coffee table and it gets somewhere around 180° of photos. Everyone is always very impressed

You should have mentioned that gopro app now paywalls features. So even though you have purchased the camera, you need a subcription for the full experience. And the app is very slow.

[ScottsReviews]

We would be curious of your experience with Insta360 and hiding sponsorship. Thx

[MikeAzul]

Wish there were more comparisons on Insta360 One R 1 inch wide lens mod and Pocket 3’s 1 inch sensor. Appreciate this video including so many action/pocket cams 💚

I will say that your smart phone is the camera you always have. With that, if you are serious about travel videos, a dedicated action camera is the way to go - save your phone's battery life to be your phone, navigation device, and handheld computer.

[nelsonngu]

my current paring is: DJI Pocket 3 CC, Insta360 X4, Insta360 Go 3S.

[time-ytcz]

very well done. i am looking to study and research for info as i get into building my channel and brand. you had information on every camera i am interested in. thank you my friend this video has saved me a lot of time, energy and maybe even some money. thinking because of budget i will be doing the insta 360 x2 or x3 but now I'm also interested in the go3

[Cashyonyt]

Watched this to help me decide between the DJI Pocket 3 or the Insta360 X4... You're killing me here picking both haha

[mariuszel]

Hey, which one for fishing trips? Based in the uk if that matters

[alleybuilds]

Thank you so much, This helped out a lot Insta 360 go3 i will be getting due to size and its flexibility

[SudeshChouhan]

Can you suggest an overall camera for outdoor and indoor shoots and it should be waterproof

[Natureboy-we]

All of them, in order to feel it directly 😂

[gregf]

I'm looking for an action cam, I'm not interested in 8k, I'm interested in good stabilization and interchangeable batteries, decent lowlight videos are priced under €500, what do you recommend? Anyway, I loved this video!

[acquisitioncode]

Thanks for the video. I have a pocket 3 - love it. It’s an amazing camera. I ordered X4 so will get my hands on it soon but I never used 360 before. And want to order the go 3s now it’s with 4k and i think it can be the third camera for special creative shots. The idea is combining 2 of them and maybe my main Sony camera to create videos. So 3 small cameras can do almost anything. What do you think?

[reviewthebest]

Great video! I’m a content creator myself so I can appreciate the hard work and dedication it takes to make a video like this a lot of footage and a lot of editing! 🎥👍

[Corner]

There's some problem on the horizon alignment with the One RS

[deadskin_]
