Today, Insta360 launched the Ace Pro 2 action camera, a strong competitor in the action cam market, alongside rivals like GoPro and DJI. Priced at $399.99 (or €449.99 in the EU), the Ace Pro 2 is surprisingly $50 cheaper than its predecessor while offering impressive new features.
Key Features of the Insta360 Ace Pro 2:
- Design: The camera’s design takes inspiration from GoPro, but with some notable differences. The front display shows information, not a live feed, while the main 2.5-inch hinged screen delivers improved brightness and pixel density for monitoring footage.
- Ruggedness: The Ace Pro 2 is water-resistant up to 12 meters, making it suitable for underwater shooting with precise controls.
- Video Capabilities:
- The camera can shoot 8K video at 30fps for ultra-high-definition content.
- It also supports 4K slow-motion at 120fps, perfect for capturing detailed action shots.
- Powered by a 1/1.3″ type sensor, the footage is paired with a 157-degree wide-angle Leica Summarit lens. Leica’s color profiles add an extra layer of professional color grading to the videos.
- AI Enhancements: The camera’s AI-enhanced software promises improved low-light clarity, and with PureVideo, noise is reduced while maintaining brightness and detail (up to 4K60fps).
- Photography: For still photography, the Ace Pro 2 can capture photos at an impressive 50 MP resolution.
Additional Features:
- Zoom: The camera supports 2x zoom without loss of image quality.
- Audio: The new integrated wind guard helps minimize noise interference during recording.
- Battery and Charging:
- The Ace Pro 2 offers a battery life of 180 minutes.
- Charging the device to 80% takes just 18 minutes using a 30W PD adapter, while a full charge is achieved in 47 minutes.
With its 8K video capabilities, Leica lens integration, and rugged design, the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 stands out as a top-tier action camera at a competitive price.
