Insta360 has officially launched its latest innovation in the Ace series, introducing the Insta360 Ace Pro 2. This new action camera offers unprecedented image quality, smarter and more intuitive capture thanks to AI, improved audio and a rugged design perfect for the most extreme adventures.

Designed in collaboration with Leica, the Ace Pro 2 introduces high-level performance thanks to the industry’s first dual AI chip and cutting-edge imaging technology, including a new 1/1.3” 8K sensor and Leica SUMMARIT lens with a 157° viewing angle. Content creators will experience smoother video thanks to high frame rates, with 8K resolutions at 30fps and 4K at 60fps in HDR active mode, PureVideo for excellent low-light performance, a 2.5” flip-up touchscreen and much more.
Unrivaled image quality, day and night
One of the standout features of the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 is the image quality delivered by the Leica SUMMARIT lens, which immediately sets it apart from the competition. An updated 8/1″ 1.3K sensor and 13.5 stops of dynamic range allow it to capture stunning images even in the most challenging conditions, where other action cameras fail.
Further contributing to image quality is the industry-first dual-chip design. The Ace Pro 2 integrates a dedicated chip for image processing and noise reduction, while a second 5nm AI chip handles additional processes and overall camera performance, ensuring a smooth and seamless user experience. This dual chip also enables advanced shooting modes such as 8K video at 30fps, HDR active in 4K at 60fps and improved PureVideo mode.
PureVideo is an AI application that dramatically reduces noise and enhances detail in real time, making images clearer and brighter even in low-light conditions. With PureVideo, creators can now record in situations that were previously impossible, like twilight walks or evening runs. For daytime footage, Active HDR in 4K at 60fps ensures that every detail, even in the most extreme shadows and highlights, is captured with great precision.

Rugged, action-ready design
The Insta360 Ace Pro 2 not only improves visual quality, but also strengthens its design to handle extreme conditions. Water resistance has been increased to 12 meters (39 feet) without a case, and goes up to 60 meters with the use of the Dive Case, making it ideal for scuba diving and winter sports. It is also designed for withstand extreme temperatures, down to -20°C, offering excellent performance even in harsh climates.
Another innovation introduced is the removable lens guard, which offers greater flexibility and protection during the most demanding shooting sessions. This ensures that creators can push the limits of their creativity without having to worry about damaging their equipment.
The magnetic mounting system makes it easy to quickly switch between accessories, reducing the time spent attaching and detaching your camera, allowing you to focus more on the action.

Smarter capture and editing
The Insta360 Ace Pro 2 integrates a 2.5″ flip-up touchscreen, a significant improvement over previous models. This screen offers a 70% increase in pixel density and 6% in brightness, making it perfectly visible even in direct sunlight. The increased robustness of the screen also allows you to handle the camera in difficult conditions without fear of damage.
Smart features are another strong point of this action cam. Insta360 has equipped the Ace Pro 2 with new solutions designed to make capturing content easier and more intuitive:
- Zoom 4K Clarity: Allows you to zoom up to 2x without losing quality, offering sharp details even in close-ups.
- Pre-registration: Save up to 120 seconds of video before you press the record button, so you never miss an important moment.
- Gesture and voice control: Perfect for situations where the camera is out of reach, you can start or stop recording with simple voice commands or gestures.
- Pause and resume recording: Allows you to stop recording and resume it when necessary, keeping everything in a single continuous file for easier video management and editing.
The innovative AI Highlights Assistant automatically identifies the best moments in a video, allowing you to create quality summaries directly in the camera. With this feature, creators can focus on the action and let AI take care of the editing.
Improved performance and greater compatibility
Insta360 has further boosted the performance of the Ace Pro 2 with a battery 1800mAh and Endurance mode, which offers 50% more autonomy compared to the Ace Pro at 4K30fps. Fast charging gets you to 80% in just 18 minutes, or 100% in 47 minutes, allowing you to get back to the action in no time.
Additionally, the camera is compatible with a variety of third-party accessories, such as Garmin and Apple devices, allowing you to overlay real-time data such as speed or GPS location on your videos. For motorcycle vloggers, the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 can be connected to helmet headsets from Sena and Cardo to record high-quality dual-channel audio and control the camera hands-free while riding.
