DJI POCKET 3 VS INSTA360 ACE PRO IN LOW LIGHT 

This video makes it so clear - Pocket 3 crushes ace pro with its night image quality, stability, and no lens distortions. Pocket 3 takes the cake!

Never mind the camera comparison, it was great to see these shots of the city where I spent the first 50 years of my life - the church where my parents married (St Martin's, in the war!) and where I used to work back in the '60s (County Hall, now a hotel), etc etc. Anyway, the Insta360 does remarkably well, and I would think it would thrash my DJI Action 2 in these shots - but not surprisingly, for the most part the Pocket 3 is the clear winner. But it's interesting that in a few shots, the Ace seems slightly better. It seems to avoid most of the problems that plague EIS cameras in low light (juddering lights and stuff). Thanks for the comparison, and the mini tour!

The pocket 3 is much clearer in lowlight, but there are some scenes where i preferred the ace pro - one example is the elevator scene. I found the ace pro more cinematic there even if it's nto as clear as pocket 3..

Ahhhhh yeah. I have the Ace Pro and Pocket 3 combo and they book look great. The Pocket is definitely better due to sensor size but the Ace Pro does a VERY good job when maybe the conditions aren’t optimal for a gimbal. Good stuff!

Awesome work and we need this video, thanks 👍🏻👍🏻

Love your video,good job

Love your videos, thanks for posting them. Can I ask, was the iso capped on the cameras? If so what was the maximum iso used on both? I notice on my Ace Pro when turning on the “low light stabilization” the images gets darker. Have you encountered that as well?

Amazing video, well done!

Hi James, The pocket 3 is on my Xmas wish list now lol I'm truly loving the vlog ..Great work keep it up .. wishing you and your family all the best for Christmas James 🌲⛄🙏🌹

Oh God! I want the pocket 3 too now! You're making London look fabulous! (apart from he street rubbish - but even that looks cinematic and considered!)

mate love the video i think the pocket 3 just got it i have the pocket 2 and have ordered the ace pro but you did a great job with this video no bullshit shown how they go thats what we like to see cheers merry xmas have a beer on me from downunder

Sheesh James! Killer video bro!

This was so relaxing. The Pocket 3 looks great!

Thanks for the comparison of two very different cameras, fitted with entirely different sensor sizes. Yet, in my opinion, what you really proved is how good the Ace Pro really performs. Not sure what to make of all the comments raving about the pocket 3. What they should be saying is that an action camera just creeped up on their treasured pocket 3. An action camera with a smaller sensor, with capabilities far beyond that of a handheld gimbal.

Incrivel o trabalho das 2 cameras. Mas a pocket 3 é espectacular em gravação nocturna! Parabens pelo vídeo! 👏

Nice video James, was wondering, for daylight videos of my car, both from outside and inside, as well as getting footage of drag racing from the outside , what would I be better getting in terms of video quality? The Ace Pro or the Pocket 3?

Ace Pro is pretty good, but the Pocket 3 is the clear winner in this comparison. Thanks for doing this video.

Hello. I want to use Insta360 Ace Pro - Dji Osmo Pocket 3 as a webcam for Twitch live streams. Will I have any problems with long-term use? What are your suggestions?

I honestly dont get how the Osmo Pocket 3 takes SUCH good night video. Amazing!

Thanks for the video - two issues: one is that it seemed the Pocket 3 was exposing brighter, and if the exposure could have been equalized, I think the Ace Pro would have looked better. Also, the Pocket 3 has a narrower field-of-view, making it SEEM like many objects had more detail, but at least a part of that was due to the "zoom in" factor. Yeah tough call.

I think they are both excellent.

After watching countless videos comparing the two cameras, the Ace Pro is clearly the winner with images at a distance whereas the DJI looks better on low light for nearer objects. I also think the stabilisation on the Ace Pro looks great. The DJI has a lot of movement considering its on a dedicated gimble (scratches head!).

If you wanna walk around town, interview people on the go, or do short monologues as an actor in all kinds of environments and later add in b-roll shots of the environment.. which model is really the best? I do not want a constant fish-eye look if I want to do monologues and acting, or sit down and talk to the camera for vlogging.. but I like the idea I can connect it directly to my body or bike or walk around with a camera in a demonstration or cultural event and ask people what they think of things and so make social media content. what camera should I use? Thanks to anyone who can advise me to someone who really tried realistic acting in front of a camera like these where you got no help, no film crew that can film you but must do it all yourself... I have had more professional cameras like the Lumix Gh3.. and I know there are new amazing cameras like the G9 ll now from Panasonic... but those are not so easy to use when you film yourself as an actor... how to find a balance between good cinematic look and ability to easily film yourself as an actor to make monologues, social media content, walk around cultural events and interview people and get both sound and cinematic style at the same time? what camera shall one use in 2024? common guys, how tested enough of pro and consumer cameras to help me out! I am not asking for a RED or ARRI camera, I am not making a Hollywood movie, but I want cinematic look as an actor, not the old crappy 90s look of bad monologue and audition tapes, that sucks, lets'' find ways to make content cinematic in 2024! thanks

Image quality of pocket 3 is better，but considering overall functionality，I think Ace Pro is a good choice.

For night shots, Pocket 3 which has a bigger sensor, wins hand down but both cameras are not in the same class. For those who do vlogging, Pocket 3 is definitely the one to go, and for those who want an action cam, AP is the one (added advantage, AP can also be used for vlogging!). Both are good cams, depending on the user's usage & preference :)

Pocket 3 wins hands down. Nice review.👍

Dji needs lowering exposure by about -0.5 and it will use less iso and looks better. They sat it to high.

Could u imagine the Ace Pro on a gimbal vs Pocket 3 ? Only bad thing about pocket is wide angle lens not wide enough for motovlogging....

The scene at 2:47 looks like something out Cyberpunk 2077 but a real life version

👏👏👏👏👏👏

The ace pro has very good low light for an action cam. Damn this AI is awesome. And this pocket 3 is 🔥🔥🔥

Why is the color so different between both cameras? Which one is more the real situation? Pocket 3 or ace pro?

wooow pocket 3 super🎉

although the pocket 3 i brighter the color look washed out compared to the ace pro...

Not even close. Ace Pro might be more comparible to the Pocket 2.

Les vidéos de nuit sont bien meilleures avec la pocket 3; c'est le cas de le dire: y a pas photo!😄...

The Osmo Pocket takes the win, but Wow, that shot at 1:19 looks amazing on both.

Pocket 2 focus is pulsing very distracting

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Pocket 3: 100, Ace pro: 0 :) Thanks for this comparison. London is so beautiful! :)

Most people do not buy these cameras to use under low light conditions. They buy them to use under optimal lighting during the daytime. And in the beautiful outdoors in the bright daylight, the Ace Pro blows the doors off of the Pocket 3. The Pocket 3 does not have active HDR while the Ace Pro has the best active HDR I've ever seen in a camera. The colors are gorgeous!

The image quality of the Pocket 3 is much better, but the fact that the Ace Pro can do this in low light is phenomenal. I wonder how it stacks up to the Pixel 8 Pro's newly released video boost? I may have to do a comparison of the two.

I already have Pocket2 but get anxious about pulling it out to film things on the fly. I think I’ll get the ace pro. It does just fine in low light. And since it’s a worry free action cam, I will use it more than a Pocket3 to film those unplanned moments.
