Pros:
• Flip-up Screen: Very useful for framing shots when vlogging and shooting from a distance. It also allows for capturing video regardless of how you hold a gimbal.
• Waterproof Feature: You can use it underwater without any worries.
• Solid Build Quality: It is very sturdy, just like other action cameras.
• Image Quality: The 4K and 8K video quality is excellent.
• Clarity Zoom: A 2x zoom feature that produces an effect similar to a 40mm lens, which is very useful for shooting cinematic videos.
• Pure Video Mode: Shows outstanding performance in low-light environments.
• Improved Audio: Clarity and noise reduction have been significantly improved compared to the Ace Pro. It's even better when used with wireless microphones like the Insta360 Mic Air and DJI Mic Mini/Mic 2.
• Various Features:
• Endurance Mode: Useful for long recording sessions.
• Dedicated Underwater Mode: Optimizes footage and locks the screen.
• FreeFrame Mode: Captures horizontal and vertical videos simultaneously.
• Dash Cam Feature: Can be set to automatically start recording when you turn on the ignition.
• Other features include voice command, hand gestures, pre-record, and AI highlights.
• Best Low-Light Performance: The reviewer rates it as having the best low-light video performance currently available in a waterproof camera.
Cons:
• Size and Weight: It is somewhat larger and heavier than other action cameras, and the weight might be noticeable in activities like moto-vlogging where it's mounted on a helmet.
• 8K File Size: 8K files are large and can be demanding on your computer and SD cards.i

Serious upgrade from its predecessor

The Ace Pro 2 feels like a serious step up from earlier action cameras. Video quality is crisp and detailed, and the colors really pop without looking over-processed. The built-in stabilization does an excellent job smoothing out footage whether I’m biking, hiking, or using it around water.
What makes this bundle especially useful is the dual battery setup. Having the extra battery on hand extends shooting time significantly, which is a must for longer trips or all-day activities. The waterproofing gives peace of mind — I’ve used it in rain and shallow water with zero issues.
The only drawback is that it’s slightly bulkier than smaller action cams, but the performance and battery flexibility more than make up for it. Overall, it’s a tough, reliable, and versatile camera that’s easy to recommend to anyone who wants pro-level footage in a portable package.

This camera is a beast

If you’re serious about capturing high-quality content on the go, the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 is a must. The 8K resolution is unbelievably sharp, and the dual battery bundle means you can film longer without constantly swapping or recharging—this alone makes it ideal for day trips or longer shoots.
I paired mine with the Xplorer Grip, and it makes a world of difference. Super stable, ergonomic, and extends just enough for overhead or action shots. Together, it’s a complete setup that doesn’t slow you down.
Battery life? Better than I expected for a camera this powerful. I recorded multiple scenes in high res and still had juice left. For the price, considering the Leica optics and extra battery, this bundle is a fantastic deal. Highly recommended for anyone looking to level up their travel or adventure content.
Pro tip: Save the second battery for golden hour or low-light scenes. It’s worth it.

One of the best action cameras I have used

This is one of the best action cameras I have used. The flip up screen is a game changer for vlogging, and is so clear! The 8k binning allows you to zoom in 2x and still have 4k quality video. The Pure Video mode looks great in low light.
I have taken this to NYC's oculus, to a water park, and also made some videos at my kids' soccer games. The quality of the videos are so eye dropping.
I am no professional photographer/videographer, but the Action Pro 2 makes it easy to make me look like one.
Get this camera if you want ease and a low profile when on vacation or even vlogging for your social media. Insta360 got you covered!

5/5 — Loving My Insta360!

I just picked up the Insta360 from Best Buy and I’m honestly really happy with it. The image quality is super crisp and immersive, whether you’re capturing 360 footage or standard wide-angle shots. I’ve been using it for everything from workouts to random adventures and the stabilization is next level, makes everything feel cinematic without even trying.
The app integration is smooth too, editing and exporting my clips has been way easier than I thought. Battery life has been solid for how powerful the camera is, and it charges up quick.
Definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to level up their content, vlog, or just capture life in a cool way. Big shoutout to Best Buy too—got it quick and the service was easy.

The weight is nice. But Insta should have made an Adventure Bundle with a tripod or handheld attachment. They missed the ball on that. Then they call this a 2 battery bundle, but it just seems that they wanted to offload an extra battery on you and put the extra upcharge from the average 399 price. Not to say that I wasnt going to buy another battery anyway, but having the option to get it myself would be better.
The video quality is really good on this. There is an option to go to 8k, but I think that is not really a good option for everyday recording. I have it set on 4k 60 with hdr and high stabilization.
Took it out on Halloween and was very impressed with the low light/night shooting. You can see everything and there is no drop off.
Its a bit bigger than the hero13. If you are looking for something different give this a try. I have both and this has been on my person more than the hero13.
App is way more robust than Gopro. But I had a snag setting up. Maybe it was just me, but they want you to accept all the access from the app then it connects, update, then its available for us. Gopro doesnt ask for app permissions.
Insta get an Adventure Bundle, dont make us buy an extra battery without the tripod/handle. That's not nice. ;)

Amazing video quality. Awesome battery life. Easy user interface: I love the Insta360 app on my phone and computer. My only complaint is the lack of custom zoom. When I shoot volleyball games, 1x is too far and 2X is too close. I need to be able to custom zoom.

I truly enjoy the Insta360-Ace Pro 2. I ordered this camera because it comes with 2 batteries. It is easy to use and the Insta360 app works well with the camera. The quality of the video and photos are excellent. I am still learning all of the bells and whistles, but I was able to use it right out of the box. This is going to be perfect for vacation!

The video quality SOOC is great, especially outdoor footage. Using FreeFrame mode is great to be able to use footage for YouTube vs Reels. The option to pause while recording is fantastic vs having multiple small clips that you need to cut together later as well.

This thing is amazing, although the upgrades from the previous model, the Ace Pro 1, are not hugely significant. The image quality is better than before, the pixel density of the flip-up screen has improved, the battery life is enhanced, and the minimum focal distance, which was my main issue, has been fixed. If you have an Ace Pro 1 I don't think you need to upgrade. But if you don't have one and thinking about DJI Action Pro 5 or Go Pro 13. The Ace pro 2 is the King.

Better than my GoPro Hero 13!!!

I am very surprised at how much better this camera is than my new GoPro Hero 13! The reason I wanted this camera was for the excellent low light video and the amazing 50 MP photos you can take with it. The low light video on this compared to the video at night with the GoPro is night and day! You can barely see anything on the GoPro at night but can see everything with this camera. I love recording night driving videos and using this as a dash cam, which it does have a separate mode for!
The touchscreen is so much more responsive and easier to use than the GoPro.
This camera would be an even better value if it was just a little cheaper as I paid $420 for it.

The camera with 8K at your fingertips

The Insta360-ACE PRO 2 is a remarkable video/photo camera. It has AI and has the ability to record in 8K which is something very few cameras are equipped to be able to do.
If you treasure capturing and playing back a real life like replica in your footage this is the camera you want. It is the closest thing to the reliving of past captured events until they come up with 9K or 10K quality I'm enjoying this little top notch Insta360 ACE PRO 2
