The video provides a comprehensive comparison between two recently released cameras, the Pocket 3 and the Ace Pro. The Pocket 3, equipped with a 1-inch sensor, excels in producing natural bokeh and performs well in low light, making it suitable for vlogging and personal recording despite its occasional blown-out highlights. The Ace Pro, featuring a 1/1.3-inch sensor and HDR capability, delivers crisp, sharp images, ideal for action scenarios even in challenging conditions.
While both cameras support various frame rates up to 4K 120 fps, the Ace Pro stands out with its rugged, weather-resistant build, and waterproofing up to 10 meters. Additionally, it includes multiple built-in field-of-view settings, including an ultra-wide option, as opposed to the Pocket 3, which requires a wide-angle lens accessory.
Durability is a concern for the Pocket 3 due to its delicate mechanical gimbal and non-waterproof design, whereas the Ace Pro's replaceable batteries and extended battery life further enhance its usability. The Ace Pro's advanced features, such as AI functionalities, pause recording, and automatic video editing, along with its robust design and superior low-light performance, ultimately lead the narrator to prefer it over the Pocket 3.

In this part of the video, the presenter tests and compares two new cameras: the Pocket 3 on the right and the Ace Pro on the left. Both cameras have been recently released and exhibit impressive image quality. The Pocket 3 is noted for its 1-inch sensor, providing natural bokeh and good low light performance, ideal for vlogging and personal recording. However, it occasionally produces blown-out highlights. The Ace Pro, with HDR capability at 4K 30 fps and a 1/1.3-inch sensor, offers crisp and sharp images, even in action settings. Both cameras can shoot in various frame rates up to 4K 120 fps for slow motion, featuring distinct advantages such as the Pocket 3’s dedicated low light mode with 10-bit color and the Ace Pro’s larger vlogging screen. The differences in image quality depend on the user’s needs, with the Pocket 3 being better for low light and personal use, while the Ace Pro excels in action scenarios.

In this segment, the video discusses the image quality and durability comparison between the Pocket 3 and the Ice Pro cameras. The Pocket 3 offers excellent image quality and HDR capabilities, although it doesn’t have a dedicated HDR mode. Both cameras perform well in low light. However, concerns are raised about the Pocket 3’s durability due to its mechanical gimbal, which is delicate and not waterproof, whereas the Ice Pro is more rugged, weather-resistant, and waterproof up to 10 meters. Additionally, the field of view is a limiting factor for the Pocket 3 unless you purchase a wide-angle lens from the Creator kit, while the Ice Pro comes with various built-in field-of-view settings, including an ultra-wide option.

In this part of the video, the speaker evaluates the Osmo Pocket 3, highlighting its limitations for vlogging. They mention the device’s field of view as being too tight, even with the wide-angle lens, which sometimes still isn’t wide enough for effective vlogging. Additionally, the gimbal’s tendency to drift requires frequent recentering, making it less convenient compared to a fixed lens action camera that consistently stays on target. The face tracking feature is useful but adds extra steps. Another significant point is the built-in battery, which limits continuous use unless paired with a separate battery handle, adding to the cost and inconvenience. The speaker contrasts this with the Ice Pro, noting its replaceable batteries and extended battery life of up to 100 minutes in 4K 60.

In this segment of the video, the narrator discusses their preference for the Ace Pro camera over the Pocket 3 after using both for several months. They highlight that while both cameras are commendable, the Ace Pro boasts superior features like AI smart functionalities, the ability to pause recording, and automatic highlighting and editing of key video clips. The Ace Pro is praised for its ruggedness, waterproof design, flip-up screen, and superior low-light performance, coupled with a fast processor, making it a standout choice. In contrast, the Pocket 3’s limitations include lack of waterproofing, a non-removable internal battery, and a fragile gimbal. Ultimately, the narrator favors the Ace Pro for its robust build and enhanced user experience.
