GoPro Hero 13 vs Insta360 Ace Pro, GoPro Hero 12, DJI Action 4

*All cameras were sent to me from GoPro, DJI and Insta360.

I put the brand new GoPro Hero 13 vs GoPro Hero 12 vs Insta360 Ace Pro vs DJI Action 4 and see what they all look like next to each other. It's hard to choose a winner to be honest, they're all pretty great considering they're the three leaders in the action camera world.

3:04 I just had to wipe my whole phone down

[ScottsReviews]

2 mins in and still preferring the Action 4 colors

[cyberapocalypse]

Ace Pro wins it for me. Way better in bright light and contrasts.

[iamkubrick]

Action 4 looks the most pleasing to me.

GoPro...sorry but your time is up, when the old Action 4 is better than the new Hero 13, you gotta start realising that you messed up.

Dji action 4 has accutally much better skin tones, much more natural than gopro, gopro overall image tho looks little bit softer but like less digital sharpness what we all hate but the action 4 makes the image still looks more expensive or has feels better image qualitity just beccause more realistic colors overall in my opinion

[Robert_GC]

The action 4 just look's so much more natural and better overall. Gopro should try better.

[stefancelmare]

The ace pro looks the best in my opinions. I have a gopro 11 and I'm thiking about the ace pro. When it comes to software I'm extremely happy with the gopro. I use it mostly to film myself flipping on the trampoline with the wide lens. It's easy to see replays from my flips and transfer them to my iphone. I need to try the ace pro. is the software on the acepro as good as the quik app on gopro?

These cameras are ultimately so comparable at this point that 90% of users wouldn't probably notice any difference in normal everyday usage. And that's a good thing :) I like the GoPro's colour tones and the Action 4's field of view, detail and stabilization. Thanks for this clear comparison Phillip, and well, the jump was 😜

I chose DJI a long time ago and I don't regret it at all. I don't like Go Pro.

[safayatgraphy]

i think the old Action 4 is better than the new Hero 13

[michaelmcgammon]

Every time ... when I see a action 4 included in a comparison review ... the image is somehow so pleasing. I just love it so much more over the others. 💘

[ProfessorXplain]

Insta360 Ace Pro wins easily. With battery, resolution, colors...and you haven't even recorded in 8K which is better than 4K. If they add 10-bit depth and bigger sensor in next itteration, it would be perfect for many years. GoPro is very slow in innovations, I liked it. I would buy again GoPro if they increase resolution to 8K, increase the sensor, increase the battery life and stability. Thy were the leader, but now the follow behind DJI and Insta360.

This nails it. I’m buying an ace pro. I already have the GoPro hero 12 and it’s great in good light, I mean just lovely. In bad lighting it fails. This 13 seems like it has some cool lenses. That’s about it.

Ace Pro, here I come! It’ll be my Halloween present to myself. And the good news about all these new cameras dropping is that you know a bunch of the older cameras are gonna go on sale.

Thank you Phillip for always being fast and on time whenever something new drops ❤

[MikeLetting]

Great comparison !
It's subjective but I think the Ace Pro has the best colors and overall pleasing quality. (Even though its 8bit and not 5.3k)
Does the Ace Pro have a Horizon leveling option with a wider field of view btw ?
Or is it only that horizon lock where it crops quite a bit in the image?

[NoOverhead]

Absolutely fabulous test. Thank you, Phillip!

[erbartlett]

Most compelling video I've seen yet to switch to DJI. As a long long time GoPro user, the dynamic range looked best on the DJI... and the 13 doesnt really seem to offer anything compelling from the 12

[Raphael_Bonnard]

Yep, Action 4 Wins for me. Will wait for the Action 5pro

[WiljanWiljan]

Thanks for the video and test. To me the ace pro is the clear winner. Will be the same in low light....not sure why anybody would buy the gopro 13....
