When comparing the specs of the Ace Pro 2 with those of the Osmo Action 5 Pro, the first thing that stands out is the resolution. The Ace Pro 2 lets you film in 8K resolution at 30 fps. The Osmo Action has a maximum resolution of 4K. Both models support the same frame rates for other resolutions. However, the Osmo Action's maximum battery life is significantly longer than that of the Ace Pro, with a full hour of filming time. If you plan to film continuously for an extended period, an hour's difference is significant.

Finally, the Osmo Action is waterproof to 20 meters, compared to 12 meters for the Ace Pro 2. In practice, however, you often use an underwater housing when shooting underwater.

In terms of specifications, the two action cams are evenly matched. The Ace Pro 2 excels in resolution, while the Osmo Action offers a longer battery life.

Features of DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro compared to the Insta360 Ace Pro 2

While the Osmo Action and Ace Pro are evenly matched in terms of specs, they have several features where one is clearly superior to the other:

Reversible touchscreen

The Insta360 Ace Pro 2 features a handy rotating touchscreen. You can flip the screen up to 180 degrees, which is incredibly useful when filming yourself; you can see exactly how you're positioned. But you don't always need to turn it all the way around. For example, if you're cycling and filming what's happening in front of you, you can simply tilt the screen slightly to easily see what's happening from above. This gives you plenty of flexibility while filming, regardless of the situation.

AI

The Ace Pro 2 has several AI features that the Osmo Action doesn't, such as AI tracking, auto-framing, and AI highlights. These features make the editing process much more efficient. You no longer have to manually sift through hours of raw footage to create a nice video; the software does it automatically for you.

Filming in the dark

Both action cams feature a 1/1.3" sensor, allowing them to capture more light in the dark, allowing you to film effectively even at night. Insta360 also offers an additional software feature called PureVideo. This software automatically enhances underexposed footage, making videos in the dark look even better.

Welke actioncam past het beste bij jou?

De Insta360 Ace Pro 2 scoort bijzonder goed op bijna alle vlakken. De meeste functies die je op de DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro vindt, vind je ook – of beter – terug op de Ace Pro 2. Vooral op het gebied van resolutie en AI-functionaliteiten loopt Insta360 duidelijk voor.

Toch heeft de Osmo Action 5 Pro ook zijn sterke punten. De grootste plus? De batterijduur. Als je vaak lange video’s maakt, onderweg bent of weinig gelegenheid hebt om op te laden, dan is de Osmo Action 5 Pro zeker het overwegen waard.
