As we all know, the current three giants of action cameras are GoPro's new generation of action camera GoPro HERO12, Shadowstone's new generation flagship model Insta360 Ace pro, and DJI's new generation of action camera DJI Action 4.
At present, these three action cameras can be said to be the top image quality and configuration among the three action camera giants, among which GoPro HERO12 focuses on sports, and all aspects are focused on sports.
For example, GoPro HERO12 uses a smaller 1/1.9-inch sensor, but it has the ability to shoot 5.3K/60P video, and when shooting during the day, the image quality is still very fine, plus GoPro HERO12 sharpening is more obvious, it looks very sharp, and there is a clear sense of digital.
GoPro HERO12's stabilization ability is also relatively strong, which is basically on par with the other two.
In addition, in terms of battery life, GoPro Hero 12 has been significantly improved compared to the previous generation, but in low-light conditions, GoPro HERO12 image quality has decreased significantly, which is not as good as the other two.
In addition, GoPro HERO12 is also more prone to overheating and crashing than the other two.
In terms of price, the current GoPro HERO12 price is 2598 yuan.
Insta360 Ace pro has recently been praised by many UP bloggers on the Internet, opening some short video websites, almost all up bloggers with about 100,000 fans are promoting Insta360 Ace pro.
The selling points of Insta360 Ace pro promoted by bloggers are mainly four points:
First, the Insta360 Ace pro has a flip-out screen, which makes it easier to shoot videos, especially for monitoring.
Second, the Insta360 Ace pro has a two-fold lossless zoom for clearer zoomed-in shots.
Thirdly, the Insta360 Ace pro has an AI noise reduction chip and a Leica lens, which makes it a little better to suppress the highlights of videos at night, and the Insta360 Ace pro also has gesture control shooting and stopping functions.
Fourth, Insta360 Ace pro can be transferred in the background when the material is downloaded to the mobile phone, which does not affect the normal use of the mobile phone island.
Of course, the Insta360 Ace pro also has some small shortcomings, mainly because the recent focusing distance is a little far, about 40-50CM, and secondly, the Insta360 Ace pro horizontal line correction and stabilization is only ±15 degrees, which is a little small.
In terms of price, Insta360 Ace pro is currently 2998 yuan in a certain east, and the price is obviously high.
Of course, more friends choose to buy Insta360 Ace pro on a certain duoduo, because the exact same product, the same configuration, the same and other gifts - all of them are an extra battery, but the price of Insta360 Ace pro is only 2698 yuan.
It can be seen that on a certain duoduo, the price of the shadow stone Insta360 Ace pro is a full 310 yuan cheaper than this one in the east, and the price of the shadow stone Insta360 Ace pro is only 2688 yuan when the price of a certain lot arrives.
With more than 300 yuan saved, isn't it good to buy more cycling accessories?
In fact, if you look at it from the perspective of cost performance, the most cost-effective one is really DJI Action 4!
Because the DJI Action 4 uses a large 1/1.3-inch sensor of the same size as the Insta360 Ace pro, the two action cameras are basically comparable in terms of image quality.
Of course, when shooting at night, DJI Action 4 will overexpose some details in some places where the lights are brighter and the distance is relatively far, but this can be adjusted, such as lowering the exposure to avoid it, but many UP owners keep comparing the image quality with this story, I think it's funny.
In addition, when shooting vlogs, DJI Action 4 is indeed not as convenient as Insta360 Ace pro, after all, people have a flip screen, but DJI Action 4 has better waterproof and drop resistance.
In terms of price, DJI Action 4 is currently only 2199 yuan at the official flagship store of a certain east, which is 800 yuan cheaper than Insta360 Ace pro.
Therefore, the horizontal comparison of the three giants of action cameras: the most cost-effective is still DJI Action 4! And from the sales can also be seen, the current sales of DJI Action 4 are more than the models of its two brands combined.
