Insta360 has recently announced the launch of a new action camera, the Ace and Ace Pro, both inspired by the highly acclaimed Insta360 X3 and developed in collaboration with Leica. These cameras integrate hardware with AI-supported computational photography, presenting a unique fusion that elevates the action camera sector. Let’s examine the specs, price and batterly life of the new Pro model.
Insta360 Ace Pro specs
The flagship model, the Insta360 Ace Pro, features an industry-first Type 1/1.3 image sensor. It is capable of capturing video up to 8K at 24 frames per second and 4K video at 120 fps, alongside the ability to shoot 48-megapixel photos. This camera enhances the user experience with a 2.4-inch touchscreen that facilitates live previews and easy camera controls, making it ideal for vlogging. It boasts impressive durability with water resistance up to 33 feet, extendable to 196 feet with a special Diving Case. Furthermore, the Ace Pro supports fast charging, reaching 80% battery in just 22 minutes and full charge in 46 minutes via Power Delivery (PD).

Insta360 Ace specs
On the other hand, the Insta360 Ace is described as the “budget-friendly” option.

This model makes high-quality imaging more accessible without compromising on the essential features that users have come to expect from Insta360.
Beyond the hardware enhancements, both cameras offer advanced control through sound or motion activation. Insta360 introduces a new AI Highlights Assistant and a keyword-based AI Warp feature, transforming the shooting and editing experience with artificial intelligence.
