Insta360 Ace Pro 2 Dual Battery Bundle -8K Waterproof Action Camera Co-Engineered with Leica, 1/1.3″ Sensor, Dual AI Chip, Leading Low Light, Superior Audio, Flip Screen & AI…

As a small camera, this is a good device when judged by the image quality it produces.

But operating it in the cold, or outdoors in challenging conditions is a real kludge. The menu system is poorly organized and difficult to impossible to use with gloves. A full rewrite of the menu system would make it much better.

Very dissapointing to have such an expensive thing come without a fully usable standard mount or 1/4-20 hole. Very agressive data collection from the manufacturer, with precise location required to register.

While it got pretty warm and drained a lot of battery just getting setup, the stabilizaion and color look far better than expected. There are a lot of color modes to get a nice, natural image right out of the box, or to go more vivid. Low light is also very impressive. For me, the thing itself seems good, but the slap in the face of having to go order more stuff and wait, just to use it, puts it to a one star for me. But I raised it because the image looks good.

From what I see of the mounting system, thousands of these things will be smashed by the roadside or lost in a river. There is no place to loop a cable through it. Getting one of those “surround style” mounts might help that, but it just gets heavier and more expensive. Maybe I’ll just use some wire as a safety. Thing sure is heavy.

After spending more $$$ and fuddling around trying to get a 1/4-20 system for it that is not like a dagwood sandwich of $$$ adapters that add leverage to the camera, I’m getting it worked out — but I’m editing my rating to a single star now. Why? The all-metal “quick release” adapter is flimsey, and proprietary. Low profile adapters from other manufacterers fit, but they have some play in them. A little vibration is often enough to make something break in time. There is no excuse for not having a 1/4-20 adapter for this heavy little camera. Also, the lack of a sturdy passthrough for a lanyard is a very serious flaw. Each new adapter, required due to flawed design, adds more weight and cost.

The bluetooth remote has a range of about 40 feet inside the house, which is about the same as the low-security wifi range. The app, from what I can see, does not allow a blue-tooth-only connection to the device.

I have owned and enjoyed almost every insta 360 camera since the one X2 came out. This is another great one. After many years with GoPro cameras the ace pro 2 is a delight to use. The app works perfectly for reviewing and editing the footage. The batteries last me all day filming, the build quality is top notch and the videos turn out great even in low light. My favorite use of this camera is dynamic time lapse videos. Being able to add movement to the videos before exporting makes them look much more professional. It’s as easy as setting up the camera and pushing a button then waiting awhile. Everything is done for you, no stitching hundreds of photos together or editing needed. This camera has earned a place in my camera bag and will be going with me everywhere. Can’t wait to capture some amazing pictures and videos.

Tenía meses esperando por ella, es una maravilla, su diseño, calidad y variedad de grabación sin duda llena todas mis expectativas.

So far So good! Simple, good quality, both with the physical camera, and especially with the video, all formats, 1080, 2.7k, 4k, and now 8k. Well built, and I love the flip up screen, audio is really good. The included wind screen attachment is well engineered and does a great job to quiet the wind and other noises. Overall, you can’t go wrong. I strongly recommend, especially for that beginner, or young videographer, simple yet lots of settings and options.

Ace Pro 2 is a really nice camera if you using at day time. But all that hype & reviews i had seen that it’s best in low light. i didn’t find any difference between this & any other action cameras. Even in Pure night video mode. i felt quality suffers it’s not useable ( if you know what I mean its feels low quality & i tried all kind of setting auto to manual. Maybe it’s just me, but i end up returning it!!

Just found out that this camera only works with their own remote. Can’t connect a generic selfie stick bluetooth to trip the shutter. This should be made clear on the product advertising. Very impressed with the rest of the tech and build quality but i think many people will be put off by this.
After consulting with their customer service they were very accommodating and sent me one of their Power Selfie sticks and mount free of charge so I could use it the way I intended. The extra battery life in the stick is a bonus. I’m very happy now with the experience of using the camera; there are a lot of features and the overall image and audio quality is very good. I think the larger image sensor and quality optics make a big difference; I was pleased with the results of indoor lighting at a sporting event
