Over-research

The story: I bought an Insta360 Ace Pro 2 and I fell for the marketing. It’s laughable because I work in the video industry as product marketing.

It was a decision between DJI Action 5 Pro and Insta360 Ace Pro 2. The facts I over researched and end up persuaded myself:

  1. It has a better editing software.
    Fact: iMovie is easier.
  2. Windguard provides better sound clarity.
    Fact: still captures the surrounding sound.
  3. Better nighttime image quality.
    Fact: there’s just so much you can do with slow shutter speed in low light.
  4. Has a Leica co-branding, I could replace my Ricoh GR II.
    Fact: just a little bit.

The quick thought on the other hand:

  1. DJI just released Action 6 Pro and Action 5 Pro is on discount.
  2. Claude recommended DJI Action 5 Pro.
  3. Perplexity recommended DJI Action 5 Pro.
