Insta360 Go Ultra Review: Better Video, but Bigger Package Leave a comment

One other place I discovered the Ace Professional 2 footage stays superior is in quick pans or quick footage of busy scenes, like filming from a motorcycle on single-track by way of timber or bushes. The Ace Professional 2 retains extra element in these eventualities, probably because of the nicer lens.

More often than not, although, the footage from the Go Extremely and Ace Professional are shut sufficient that it is onerous to inform the uncooked footage aside. I’d usually say the identical is true of the X5, although in fact in that case you are capturing 360 diploma footage, which has its benefits.

The Go Extremely has a lot of the capturing modes you may get in Insta360’s different cameras, embrace 8-bit HDR, which continues to be a head scratcher (to essentially get true HDR footage, you want 10-bit footage such as you’ll get from GoPro and DJI cameras). There are a pair new modes right here, together with one referred to as Toddler Titan, which is designed to work with the hat clip accent and seize your chunky monkey’s POV.

Stabilization is great and matches what you’d get in the remainder of Insta360’s motion cameras. At this level, each motion digicam I’ve examined has stabilization down, and the Go Extremely is not any exception.

Most likely the very best factor concerning the Go Extremely, after the video high quality enhancements, is that it now takes a microSD card, fairly than having solely built-in storage. Meaning now you can put in as much as 2-TB and shoot all day with out worrying that you will replenish the built-in storage.

One other bonus is the broader subject of view (FOV), as much as 156 levels from the Go 3S’s 150 levels. That won’t sound like a lot, however each bit helps on this case. For reference, the GoPro Hero 13 Black has a FOV of 156 levels, and with the Extremely Huge Lens Mod that jumps to 177 levels. Additionally new on the Go Extremely is the flexibility to shoot 4K video at 2X zoom. HDR can also be out there with 4K footage.

Downsides

There are two issues I do not like concerning the Go Extremely. The primary is that the pod will not be waterproof out of the field, so you may want a special lens cowl, which is bigger and considerably awkward when utilizing it out of the water. Regardless of that, I simply depart mine on there on a regular basis and take care of the scale as a result of more often than not I need an motion digicam, it is most likely as a result of it’ll get moist.
