Insta360 Ace Pro & Pro 2 Upgrade with New Xplorer Grip Kit

Key Takeaways

1. The Insta360 Ace Pro 2 is a compact action camera, measuring 72 x 52 x 38 mm, making it easy to attach to handlebars or tripods.
2. The new Xplorer Grip Kit improves handling and includes a wrist strap for secure one-handed use.
3. The Xplorer Grip Kit features a cold shoe shutter button, allowing the Ace Pro 2 to operate like a traditional camera, though settings must be adjusted via the touchscreen.
4. The Xplorer Grip Kit is priced at $84.99, while the Xplorer Bundle options are available for $419 (single battery) and $439 (dual battery).
5. The Xplorer Grip Kit is compatible with both the Insta360 Ace Pro and Ace Pro 2.

The Insta360 Ace Pro 2 has been available for some time now, first introduced in October 2024. As we noted previously, the Ace Pro 2 is quite small, measuring 72 x 52 x 38 mm. This compact size makes it perfect for attaching to handlebars or a tripod, but it does leave little to hold onto when you’re using it by hand.

New Accessory for Better Grip

In response to this issue, the company has launched the Xplorer Grip Kit, which is also suitable for the Insta360 Ace Pro (currently priced at $279 on Amazon). As shown in the video below, either action camera fits into this new accessory, and a wrist strap is included to help keep it secure while shooting with one hand.

Enhanced Functionality

Insta360 has added a special cold shoe shutter button that enables the Ace Pro 2 to function like a traditional compact camera. However, to adjust any settings, users will need to go back to the Ace Pro or Ace Pro 2’s touchscreen. Additionally, the Xplorer Grip 2 comes with three mounting points for attaching extra accessories.

Pricing Options

You can purchase the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 Xplorer Grip Kit separately for $84.99. Alternatively, Insta360 offers the Xplorer Bundle for $419 for the single battery version and $439 for the dual battery option. To give some context, these prices are just above the Standard and Get-Set bundles available for the Ace Pro 2’s configurations.
