One of the biggest updates of the insta360 Ace Pro 2 is that it can now shoot videos in glorious 8K resolution at 30 frames per second. The Ace Pro’s maximum resolution was 4K, so the successor grants access to a lot of extra pixels. The camera can also shoot in 4K at 120fps and 1080p at 240fps for those slo-mo moments.

The new Insta360 Ace Pro 2 action has launched after a week of build-up from Insta360, and the camera not only boasts a spec sheet which will have both GoPro and DJI worried – not least 8K video and a large sensor – but other subtle design improvements.

Co-engineered with Leica, the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 delivers serious performance upgrades with the industry-first dual AI chip and state-of-the-art imaging courtesy of a new 1/1.3″ 8K sensor and Leica SUMMARIT lens.

The second-generation Ace Pro comes to market less than a year after the inaugural entry with a host of upgrades, including a lens with wider coverage.

Action camera Insta360 Ace Pro 2 ramps up the processing power and the value -- but lags ever so slightly in the battery department.

Insta360 has announced the Ace Pro 2, its newest action camera and successor to its Ace Pro model. It includes features like 8K video, dual AI processors, longer battery life and up to 120 seconds of video pre-capture.
