Insta360 Ace Pro 2 announced with 8K recording, AI features

Insta360 has announced a new action camera that is co-engineered with German camera maker, Leica. The Insta360 Ace Pro 2 succeeds the Ace Pro model from last year. The new model brings a similar design, but has many upgrades, including the support for 8K video recording. 

If you love action cameras and are always on the move to capture moments, read on the know the specifications, features, and price of the latest Insta360 Ace Pro 2. 

Insta360 Ace Pro 2 specifications and features

The Insta360 Ace Pro 2 action camera has a 1/1.3-inch sensor that supports 8K video recording, a jump from the 4K recording support on the predecessor. Notably, Ace Pro 2 can record 8K videos at 30fps, but it can also shoot 4K 40fps HDR and 4K 120fps slow motion video.

The action camera can click 50MP photos, as opposed to Ace Pro’s 48MP photos. This time around, Insta360 has also added AI features to the camera. It comes with a PureVideo mode, which, with the help of a custom-tuned AI neural network, can reduce noise and improve video quality in low-light environments. 

Furthermore, the action camera also has other AI-powered features like Auto Edit and AI Highlights Assistant. It can also be controlled with voice or gesture, which is an interesting addition, however, we’ll have to wait and see how it works in reality.

It has a FlowState Stabilisation feature to stabilise footage and apply the 60-degree Horizon Lock. The action camera features a 2.5-inch touchscreen display that has 70 per cent more pixel density and 100 per cent increased durability.

As far as the battery is concerned, the action camera packs a 1,800mAh cell with Endurance mode for a long runtime.
