Insta360 has introduced the Ace Pro 2, a tough new action camera that expands its lineup. Collaborating once again with the esteemed camera brand Leica, the company has incorporated unique color profiles thanks to their expert input. Released in November 2023, the Ace Pro 2 is a successor to the Ace Pro, bringing notable enhancements and innovative AI features.
Competing Models
This new device competes with the recently launched DJI OSMO Action 5 Pro and GoPro Hero 13 Black. We previously discussed the OSMO Action 5 Pro and Hero 13 Black, which you can find here. The Ace Pro 2 boasts dual AI chips: one for image processing and the other for the overall camera performance. While it retains the same sensor as its predecessor, the 1/1.3” sensor has been refined. It offers a 157-degree field of view, allowing for shooting in 8K at 30fps, 4K at 120fps for slow motion, or 4K at 60fps with Active HDR.
Enhanced Display and Battery Life
The Ace Pro 2 features a larger, brighter, and more durable 2.5-inch flip-up screen compared to the previous model. A significant improvement is the upgraded 1,800mAh battery, an increase from the 1650mAh in the Ace Pro, providing 50% longer battery life when filming in 4K at 30fps. It supports fast charging, with an 18-minute charge delivering up to 80% battery life.
The waterproof capabilities have also been enhanced, allowing users to take the Ace Pro 2 underwater up to 39 feet (around 12 meters) without needing a protective case. It can also endure extreme temperatures ranging from -4° F (20°C) to 45°C.
Additional Features
Among the other features are AI highlight assistant, gesture and voice control, and advanced noise reduction. Insta360 has also integrated a new wind guard for improved audio clarity, which was absent in the previous model. Plus, there’s a removable lens guard for extra safeguarding.
