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 Editing for Motorcycling

I have been using this camera since March so I can say now I’m ready to talk about this camera.The Insta360 Ace Pro 2 is a newer and more advanced camera, designed to offer professional-quality 360-degree video and photo capture. It usually offers features such as:High Resolution: Ability to capture 8K videos and high-resolution photos.Advanced Stabilization: Image stabilization to ensure smooth videos, even on the move. Connectivity and Sharing: Fast sharing features and 360-degree live streaming.Compact Design: Portability for use in various situations.This camera is ideal for content creators who need a complete solution to capture and share immersive experiences.Yes, the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 is designed to be easy to use. It usually comes with intuitive software and simple controls, both to capture and to edit your images and videos. In addition, it usually has guides and tutorials that help users make the most of the camera without complications.If you have an Apple Watch you can use as a remote control as well.You can use gestures as the palm of your hand to start recording, voz commander, and another gestures to control the camera.But you need to install the app to make everything that I said, I’m using it on my iPhone 13 Pro Max and I didn’t have any issues, the app is really nice and give many options of editions like a preview of your whole video where you choose which parts of the records that you want to use.The battery last long enough for the whole day, if you are not recording in the maximum resolution and in a hot weather of course. It will drain faster but the Insta360 ace pro 2 doesn’t overheat like GoPro that is almost impossible for me to use in Brazil Rio Rio de Janeiro because is too hot for GoPro, anyway it doesn’t have any competition with insta360 Ace pro 2.The only came right now I can say that is the DJI 5 pro, I have and I love it too. And one of downside of the insta360 is the screen, you need to move it all the time that you want to record yourself. With DJI it has a front screen view.And the price is almost the same between this combo with just 2 batteries it comes only with one camera magnet and a cut out wind, that I couldn’t remove it since that I bought. It is like it’s stuck.Both cameras are good insta360 records in 8k and DJI 5 pro 4k. But being honest I don’t see a difference on it between the 2 ones. The quality of image between both are excellent.Insta360 ace pro 2, You can record and pause your recording and start recording again and it of course will take more battery too.The pre programmed features is time lapse, star trails, and a few others.I loved this camera, the app but I the value with only this accessories the camera comes with and you can buy only one camera, I would get the DJI pro 5.

The media could not be loaded. 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.

Been using this mainly for mountain biking. Video is super smooth even when I go over rocks and roots. Audio is surprisingly clear too. I thought wind noise would ruin everything but nope, it's solid. I love how it sticks on the helmet with the magnetic mount. I haven't tried underwater stuff yet, but planning to take it paddleboarding next weekend. Definitely worth it if you like filming active stuff but don't want to deal with a bunch of complicated settings.

Wonderful camera! Great quality, super durable, and easy to use! The waterproof is super easy to use. And the rotating screen is very useful for things like selfies and vlogging! It also works quite well on my FPV drone.

The media could not be loaded. This is a great action camera. I love the resolution and stabilization. The battery life is great. I haven't used the second battery yet. It's waterproof which increases the functionality of the camera. This is a great value and compact for travel.

Out of the box, the first thing you need to do is "activate" the device using the insta360 app. There's no way to avoid this, and the camera will not function in any way until it is complete. For the first two days I was unable to create an account. It sent a confirmation code that I had to enter, but that never arrived. After some back and forth with support (and almost giving up and returning it) I created a new email at gmail, and used that to register. That worked.Once I got the confirmation code, and the account was created, the camera linked to the app, and updated its firmware.Other than possibly for future firmware updates, I have no other use for the app. There's a bunch of stuff in there that I'm just not interested in at all. That the camera is a brick until you activate it is the only negative thing I have to say about this device. It's a shame they were so short-sighted to insist that you jump through these unnecessary hoops.This is the only thing holding me back from giving this device a 5 star review.Now the good: The quality of the video is outstanding, and is better than my DSLR video at twice the price.I'm not the intended audience for an "action" camera. While I tested out (and was impressed by) the stability tracking walking while filming, that wasn't why I bought it. I intend to use it in a 'static' environment, mounted on a tripod, as an additional angle, almost exclusively indoors, and in not well-lit enviroments. It absolutely excels at low-light filming. It's really amazing how little noise there is on the image.The flip-up screen is great for seeing yourself if you were doing vlog style videos.Being designed as an action camera, it's really small, and lightweight, allowing you to put them in places that would be hard to fit a regular camera. I do wish it had a 1/4" screw thread on the bottom, but luckily I had an adaptor.It's a little tricky to get the SD card out, but given that you can just hook up the camera in USB mode, and pull the files off that way, it's unlikely I'll need to take it out too often.In my first test, I recorded (in 8k) for around 40 minutes, and the battery was still going strong. It does split files in 30 minute chunks, but they joined together seemlessly when I put them side-by-side in Davinci Resolve.The audio is acceptable. Not as good as from a dedicated mic, but good enough for most needs.Would I buy another ? Most likely. It's hard to think what features a newer model would bring that I'd really need that this doesn't have, but if I were looking for additional angles in my multi-cam setup, this is what I'd go for.
