I've been comparing the new Insta360 Ace Pro to the GoPro Hero 11 and 12. The Hero 11 and 12 are nearly identical apart from the addition of HDR video in the Hero 12, never the less I did a full comparison of using both cameras.

The Ace Pro is Insta360's first full action camera and it comes with some pretty interesting features. AI Highlights, a 1/1.3" sensor, Purevideo Mode for low light shooting and an AI prompt editor.

Can these features knock GoPro off the throne of action cameras or are they just gimmicks? Let's find out!

You'; find loads of direct comparisons between the Hero 12/11 & Ace Pro, including low light, daytime, HDR, moving, photos & field of view options.

Insta360 Ace Pro vs GoPro Hero 12

Did you notice the jello effect in the ace pro video at 8.46 mark ? That building looks like dancing.

[matthewberry]

only thing is if you damage either one then gopro is $100 away from replacement where insta360 makes you buy a new one right? if you do heavy action stuff thats a dealbreaker

The Ace Pro looked wobbly at 5:43 while you were walking compared to the GoPro. The difference was significant, and I'm surprised the Ace Pro was so bad in that regard. And at 8:42, the Ace Pro image is super slushy looking while you're moving. Considering how well they are doing some things, and the fact that they are an action (movement company) based on their other cameras, I am very disappointed in this. Seems like this Ace Pro is best used in still or slow situations, especially in low light.

There is wobble image with the insta360 while your walking. When your paying and staying still I don't see it.
I wonder which level of stabilisation on the ace pro is causing this

[YessenShokparov]

Thank you for the work done. Great comparison review!

[craigshandworld]

Hi, I noticed you mentioned how the goproś advantage is it can shoot in 8.7 and easily switch the footage between wide and vertical in post edit. I thought the ace pro freeframe mode allows the same thing in its own version of easily editing to vertical in post ?

I have the Ace Pro, Pocket 3, and the Hero12. The Ace Pro is not nearly as good as the Pocket 3 at night. If I am holding the Ace Pro very still, the video is quite good. But even at Pro Video, the Ace Pro causes the light sources to shake in the distance when I am walking with the Ace Pro attached to the GoPro Volta. I wasn't even walking very fast. I'm sure it will do well with a gimbal, but if that's the case, it defeats the purpose of buying it over the Pocket 3 which has amazing low light video by the way

Great video. I have a GoPro 11 which is a hot buttered from ultra running and being dropped. Does the insta have a video editing system ?

[savoryexposure]

Great video. Hope that GoPro offers a Pc option for their Quik software soon. I got a great price on a refurb (I think it was just a store return) on a GoPro Hero 11 and I think that it was a good buy

[jamesteather]

At 8.46 the insta360 footage wobbles compared to the gopro, is this something in the processing or just been missed?

[SkyDomeVIZE]

My cons about the Ace pro are :
- No 10-bit
- No lens cover
- bulkier
- price
ACE PRO seems to be great for all around mostly for vlogging.

My question is, if one uses insta360 one rs 1"inch mod is it really worth the upgrade ?

[UyAlien]

I love it, i have ace but when i take the photo for document, the photo not really sharpness

[teofilol]

GoPro's daytime images are way oversharpen and have this oil painting feel to be taken seriously. I'll still give the win to the Acepro for daytime video.

[richardsteeples]

Which is best for doing interview or just filming eg don't want fish eye lens on

[eaglemedia]

You mismatch the resolution during the import or edit :(

[nickthinkpainting]

My GoPro 9 has issues for sure but still does the job and takes killer photos…

[kaltask]

8:41 wholy shit the ace pro looks wobbly, wtf is going on there. 11:52 stabilization on par? ace pro still very wobbly and unnatural motion.

[mavicmaestroproductionsdro]

I bought both the ace pro excels in low light but the go pro on overall situations better options with camera details

[PiuPassioneCheRagione]

GoPro stabilization is still much better..i own both Ace Pro and Hero 11...border sharpness is much better in GoPro

[slojam]

Just to be clear...
Ace pro HDR 4K is better than gopro 12 HDR 4K ?
Thanks.
Great comparison 👏
