People just like to knit pick stuff these days. The big 3, gopro, dji, ace will all get the job done. They are a pocket sized action camera, ephasis on action. People want these $400 tiny cameras to perform like a $1500 dslr.

@@JoshThompson25 Well, the Hero13 does almost everything right, except for the crap. And I would say that secretly everyone uses GoPros, regardless of what they promote. But DJI and Insta360 have not managed to deliver a properly functioning action cam. And it doesn't matter what budget or cam you're talking about, the focus should at least work.

@@ArwinTours I understand exactly what you mean, I've been toying with the idea for years. But it remains just an idea, because the competition, i.e. DJI and Insta360, simply don't deliver enough detail. That doesn't mean that these cameras are bad, but they lack the dynamic range of details and so on. Many paid RU-vidrs edit and edit and edit in order to ultimately send their material into the race against raw GoPro material and fool interested parties.

Maybe! It could be possible you're right. I think a LOT of users take their action cameras into forests though, so I think it's a place we should be testing more.

@NRWverbot449 3 дня назад

I totally agree! Maybe its time for youtube to update their compression codecs to make scenes like this look higher quality . But the hdr- processing, wich is happening in camera also doesnt look very pleasing. It raises the shadows a lot and puts in a lot of noise reduction. Maybe you should try shooting in log.

@PhillipSkraba 3 дня назад

Well, this is the 13.5 stops of dynamic range working its charm, I'd like an option to turn off the hdr or whatever is being used for a more natural look. Sure, we can see what, 20 stops, but I don't expect my camera to see everything, it just looks too freaky and fake for me.

@ozy311 2 дня назад

A forest is harder for the compression to work well, thus the current 100Mbps bitrate setting makes artifacting visible. They need to up the bitrate. DJI did say they are updating the firmware to allow a higher value. Check scenes where confetti is shot into the air. That will decimate most video streams due to the lack of compressibility.

@PhillipSkraba 2 дня назад

Yep, those branches and light rays will make a fool of any bitrate not ready for them. I too heard DJI is dropping an update to give us the option of a higher bitrate, and if they do, that's just fantastic!

@independentmind6345 2 дня назад

@@PhillipSkraba I can deal with shorter battery life for better quality, I just hope A5 doesn’t overheat due to the added bitrate…

@nomad0714 2 дня назад

Edit: for more preciseness Just a correction here, yes higher bit rates means more data is allocated to each second of footage, allowing for greater detail, smoother transitions, and less compression artifacts, especially in fast action and challenging lighting conditions like forest where there’s a lot of details and sun peaking in or blocked at same time, etc, but that means the data is “less compressed”(not “more compressed”) with higher bit rates Gopro labs allows you to max out at 200mbps while A5 is maxed out 100mbps so this is what you see in videos where the motorcycle riders complain (fast action) and/or in forest with little lighting, the video is mushy and lack sharpness and details. What DJI compensates using lower bit rates is increase the sharpness, increase the highlights by cranking up the iso, and use denoising, so when you compare it to the AP in lowlight, it doesn’t shine. AP maxes out at 170mbps I think that the DJI engineers or the marketing team thought that they would sell hard on the longer battery life, but having lower bit rates doesn’t improve the power consumption as much as managing GPS, BT, OLED screen, and stabilization so kinda puzzled here why they would lower the bit rates and hoping that we don’t see the difference. The first thing I did was compared the specs line by line with the A4 and saw that it went from 130mbps down to 100mbps which for HEVC (h.265) encoders, for compression, you won’t see much difference on a small screen smartphone or when shooting static or low motion or 1080p, but with 4K, fast action or highly detailed scenes, and on larger screen, you will see the lower IQ

@PhillipSkraba 2 дня назад

Yep, all correct. Out of camera it's basically 100mbps, 120mbps and 170mbps for the three competitors. As we've seen in a leak, the Ace Pro 2 will come bundled with 2 batteries, but no idea if they've kept the 170mbps or raised it.

@yashesvii 2 дня назад

I have seen lot of 5 Pro footages, and I must say that even at 1080p it does not deliver good quality, maybe because the sensor quality is not good or because of lower bitrates. It somehow forces you to record at 4K for at least a good footage. Also, I don't know why no one is in focus when vlogging n the Pro 5, I really get depressed :P

@PhillipSkraba 2 дня назад

The sensor is good, I think it's rather the choice of lower bitrates. The Hero 13 runs at 120mbps, the Ace Pro at 170mbps, whereas at this moment in time the Action 5 Pro runs at 100mbps. Let's hope the next update gives us more options.

@aryaprincess2479 3 дня назад

Sport mode makes the shutter faster in order to not take too much blur, so in low light mode you shouldn't have sport enabled, you should have it in normal to have the frame take as much of the shutter speed down as possible. This is why in some shots you have a lot of jittering in low light mode.

“Don’t test it in a forest” *Tests in Forest* THIS is why you’re my hero. I actually think it looks pretty great and it’s cool you can use DJI Mics. Looks great in all your tests. I found a guy who tested the low light and reduced sharpening and noise reduction and cranked the shutter to 1/240 or higher and ISO way up, the camera looked jittery free. I’m waiting on the ace pro 2, but definitely have my eyes on this camera. I have the pocket 3, so this may be a nice backup.

Forest is hard for cameras because the lighting changes a lot and it's difficult for the camera to adapt to two different conditions - very dark spots and at the same time very bright spots so it is difficult to adjust between those two extremes. Also with the lights through the leaves, it introduces chromatic aberrations so you see more fringing along the edges. Nice review!

@PhillipSkraba 2 дня назад

Yes, it's not an easy place for a camera to perform, but a vast amount of action camera users, bikers and hikers, they are mainly in forest areas, so I think us RU-vidrs should spend more time in these places testing out action cameras. I love walking in the forest, it relaxes me so much.

@@zarko.stamenkovicI have it. Im testing it in vacation and You are right. Sometimes in underexposed areas your face becomes too red. But it is so easy to use. Another cool feature that white balance sensor in "O" and the quickness with it reacts to underwater scenario and back to air scenarii is so impressive. Auto means that overdone hdr. You can set framerate in Manual mode but leave iso 100-800 and it will compensate by iso in some way but the dark areas will be dark, so it should be dome in d-log m and put some post work.

@xXadambXx 2 дня назад

For me it looks like it has been too processed, you can see it in the leaves, but maybe that's why the producers don't want to go into the forest with cameras, because that's where problems appear. For example, for me, when a GoPro sports camera in the forest slowly starts to have problems with stabilization, there is much less light, not to mention the drop in quality. I can't wait for Ace Pro 2. Action 5 looks much better than Hero 13, but I feel that it will be interesting with Ace Pro 2.

@PhillipSkraba 2 дня назад

The Ace Pro 2 is awesome, but so is the Action 5 Pro, they're just two very different tools, which have pros and cons, neither is perfect at everything, but they are the best at what they specifically do. I am aware DJI is bringing out an update very soon to hopefully give us a little more bitrate.

@@PhillipSkraba I think that for such small and cheap devices (let's be honest, looking at the prices of photographic equipment), these devices are amazing and, despite small compromises, they are the perfect amateur vlog and sports camera.

@@PhillipSkraba I bet you cant say anything about Ace Pro 2 yet, but that camera never made any sense to me due to the flip screen. People complaining about action cameras beeing bad for vlogging is silly because they are not made for close up shots anyways, but the Ace Pro was sort of trying to be a vlogging camera with that screen so my question is: Will they have some sort of auto-focus or close up lens to cash in on what people have been wanting from an action camera for years now? Just say it in a cryptic way if insta360 is listening. hehe

@PhillipSkraba 2 дня назад

Awesome for just filming on vacation/casual stuff and hiking, but for dirtbike riding and actual action sports the screen is just a worry and after all that mud,sand and snow i put mine through the screen is not smooth to open anymore and creaks so for that stuff i grab my OA4. Just found it really interesting how they kind of made the perfect vlogging camera that people so desperatly are looking for, but made the minimum focus distance even further away than gopro/dji. very excited to see the if they manage to win the hearts of vloggers with the 2.

While at first glance the video image quality just looks a little soft if you look just a little closer it’s actually pretty BAD. For years I’ve been taking frame grabs from my GoPros and this past year from my Insta360 Ace Pro for very good photos. This is a deal breaker for me with my new Action 5 Pro. Frame grabs are garbage photos from my Action 5 Pro! Try this yourself. Take a short 4K video clip with default settings with your GoPro, Action 4, or Insta360 Ace Pro then grab a frame to photo. Open photos in Gimp, PhotoShop or whatever you use for photo editing and zoom to 100% resolution. You’ll see all look OK but Action 5 is garbage. If the possible firmware upgrade upping the bitrate to 120 or more doesn’t fix this quality degradation then mine is going back.

@PhillipSkraba 3 дня назад

Well, they had 130mbps on the Action 2, 3 and 4. They had 100mbps in the Action 1 and now in the 5 Pro. I've been told it's for battery life.

Action 5 pro lens has a very pronounced flare. Which of the brands have the best hardware and optics in your opinion?

I have researched the whole bitrate thing on the OA5Pro, and whilst DJI have lowered the bitrate from 130mbps to 100mbps for battery life I haven't noticed a difference, daylight still looks superb. It's funny as the Hero 13 has 120mbps and the Ace Pro has 170mbps, but then you've got 10-bit vs 8-bit, and it's 4:2:0 10-bit, and they you've got f2.8 vs f2.6 vs f2.5, and then you've got 1/1.3" vs 1/1.9" sensors, it's a massive mess in my mind, but at the end of the day it all seems to even itself out. I hope the new DJI update gives us the option for a higher bitrate and less battery life.

@hackedbyai 2 дня назад

The thing is, I really would like to use an Action Cam as my Pocket Cinema Camera for nature trips. But the quality even with the newer models like the Action 5 Pro or perhaps the Ace Pro 2, always looks a bit to digital and muddy for me. The Pocket 3 is so much more cleaner, smoother and natural looking. It’s almost on the level like a Sony ZV-E10 II. This is so great for cinematic videos on the go. But unfortunately the Pocket 3 is not water proof and very fragile. I love how robust and weather proof Actions Cameras are. But the quality is still to bad. Even though we have 2024. I think without a Jump in Sensor Size, it will always look to digital on Action Cams. I don’t care about fixed focus. From my perspective they can put a 1inch sensor with Auto Focus into an Action Cam. I know this would be not practical when shooting “action”, but it would open more opportunities in terms of quality for cinematic shots on the go. I wish these camera companies would bring more products towards this direction. Instead, we rather have Action Cams or heavy Mirrorless Cameras. The Pocket 3 is the only outsider which is between these both worlds.

@itsonlytheinternet 3 дня назад

The problem with this camera is that it is not 100% perfect in every way(no camera is) and that enrages people who thought this would be the last camera they would ever have to buy. The bitrate-paranoia is spreading and soon DJI will give in to the angry mob. That will cause overheating and less battery life so DJI will try to calm people down by copy-pasting random answers on the forum, but it will only fuel the mob and soon enough it will be as bad as the great battle of the close focus way back in 2023. Then suddenly a new camera will be released and all is forgotten..until next year when the cycle starts again because it turns out that Action 6 elite pro max super is not perfect either.

@PhillipSkraba 3 дня назад

...and that's the thing!!! These are tools. Each one is different. You have a job to do, you choose the right tool for that job.

There is no perfect camera, but DJI has one of the best.
