Should point out, the ace pro 2, “IS” waterproof with the wind guard fitted however, insta recommend you remove it as the sponge inside the guard could be degraded by getting it wet. So it is waterproof but best to remove it and fit the included option for use in water.
This is a great review because you didn't just describe the features but take it out in the field. It's further refined my choice with the Action 5 Pro. Thank you.
I have no camera purchase plans at this time but I knew if I watched your video I would get a clear time efficient impartial educational update- thanks!
GoPro is still on top due to their marketing. When ever people ask me about my camera setup they always call it a GoPro even though I haven't used one for years.
Thanks for the review. I'd prefer to see a comprehensive comparison of the features for biking or for vlogging. It looks like the Action 5 Pro and Ace Pro 2 are very close in performance. Since the Action 5 Pro has been out since September, I tend to trust its reviewers more. They say the low-light performance is decent and discuss which settings work best. The price is more attractive too. However, it seems like the Ace Pro 2 is only in presale at the moment, so there aren't many real reviews yet...
Im such a fan of the ace pro. The gains for the 2 arent screaming at me to upgrade so I'll have to wait for a sale but it does seem that the ace pro 2 is the apex for action cams.
I didn't expect it would be massively better than the Ace pro original which I will not be replacing I'll wait till they bring out the Ace Pro 3 in 12 months or maybe a completely different camera they'll bring out?
Thanks!! I ride onewheel mostly at night I was going to get an Ace pro then decided to recheck comparison of an Action 5 and I saw Pro 2... I thought wait a sec this wasn't here when I was looking last week..... Super excited for this camera!
It's difficult to make ground shattering improvements over the original. So I'm sure there will be small iterations over each previous build. I have Ace Pro and the only real upgrade for me would be the GPS stats and the ability to connect to DJI mic Ver 1 (thanks for mentioning that).
Hey eat sleep 360 Rich! Thanks for the ultra informative vid! Your camera vids rule! The improvements to the ace pro look mostly logical! Ride ride ride!
I plan on getting ace pro 1 or the 2 or the djo 5 pro and dont on plan to upgrade for a while i got the hero 13 and hated the hdr effect and color accercy what woukd you remcond for some on like who does not plan to get a new one for couple years
Awesome review as always Rich! The longer battery life is really important and the 2nd battery bundle is a real bargain! regarding the low light capabilities the ace pro 2 is demolishing all other cameras.. That reverse charging is one of those little details that make insta360 apart from other brands
excellent review! One subscriber more. The sound and BT compatibility, also the battery life are in fact the biggest upgrades. Everything else is not that different and I'll keep my Ace Pro. I hope insta360 brings most SW features to the Ace PRO 1 because most of them are hardware agnostic (Bt mic compatibility, i log, underwater improvements, voice frequencies preference, etc.) and it is what should be there from the start anyway...
I'm currently using the ace pro and recently I noticed that the stats came up when I used it while connected to the phone. Possibly and update on the app side that applies to the ace pro as well?
This might be a stupid question, sorry. Could i charge the battery for the camera or do i charge the camera directly (not the reverse charge)? And could i charge the battery or would i need to buy a new battery each time it dies?
And… the new batteries ARE compatible with the Ace Pro so I got very similar recording times. If you don’t want to upgrade the camera, upgrade your batteries.
Aka, 99.7% the e x a c t same camera and from the samples way more IQ over-processing and it looks full of halos and horrible overly HDR everywhere. I'm a happy camper keeping my Ace Pro, zero interest in this camera and Insta360 knows better than doing a mid-cycle half baked product just to make news.
I currently use an Insta360 X3 for recording mountain bike rides. While most of the footage is ok the camera struggles in low light and on night rides. I generally record POV so I'm looking for a replacement camera, ( action rather than 360). As an action camera it would be interesting to see a review of how well the Ace Pro 2 deals with footage stability in variable and low light situations. With winter well and truly here in the UK, most of my rides are night rides over rough terrain and would like a camera that shoots useable footage. Here's an example of my current footage with the X3. th-cam.com/video/Usv3ha0eZGU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WA87PUmGkQu9ekTD
You missed to mention the really bad features. I've watched a lot videos of the new Ace Pro 2 now and while many times it looked good, there were also many time when its HDR goes crazy and creates the most artificial, fake and ugly looking videos I've ever seen on any action cam. Something smartphone did 10 years ago when HDR was new and they failed big.

I totally agree with you. Just marginal improvements here. But the big one for me is the audio improvement.

The action 5 pro is a great camera - a really well thought out design

for being a year old they really did some great changes from the 1 to 2

Another good video review/comparison. I hope one day we can get a night mode for the 360 X series.
Are the batteries compatible between the models?
Yep!
@signore-solomonare1818 What about accessories such as the ND filter set and the vertical mount?
I couldn't resist. I have an Ace Pro but wanted the Ace Pro 2. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint. Thanks for another great video.
Do you recommend getting a 2 or 1?
If you don't have one, I would go for the Ace Pro 2. There isn't that much difference, though, to be honest.
@ I’m looking to pick one up for the black Friday sale!
Thank you. Can you use the same battery of the ace pro inside the ace pro 2?
Yep!
Yes
I'm currently using the ace pro and recently I noticed that the stats came up when I used it while connected to the phone. Possibly and update on the app side that applies to the ace pro as well?
It’s an app update so yes should be usable with ace pro as well
Does the horizon lock work for 4K60 video captures?
The user manual has zero information on this...
Can you charge and shoot simultaneously on ace pro
I’ll keep my ace pro 1 for next three iterations ..if I need epic night videos I’ll just use osmo pocket 3

Hey bro, if I don't have 1, should go for the 2? Or will the one suffice

Great video thank you
I wish the ace 2 had horizon levelling at 50 fps, did ace pro 1 have 50 fps ?
30fps
nice reviews Rich!
This might be a stupid question, sorry. Could i charge the battery for the camera or do i charge the camera directly (not the reverse charge)? And could i charge the battery or would i need to buy a new battery each time it dies?
It’s a removable battery and can be charged in the camera or in a separate charger
@EatSleep360 Got it. Thank you very much

5:16 what mount can we use to not have the rattling sound when mounted to a bicycle handle bar?
The standard fixed finger mount that comes in the box
I just bought Insta 360 Pro and now they have released the newest version😢
lol! Everyone is hammering GoPro!
Lets go Rich 📸
focus distance.....????
Close distance is improved but I need to do more testing
Own 2 of these ace pros. Ace pro is way too heavy.
Original Ace Pro low light video is a lot better.
Yeah I agree - I’m going to test again with new firmware to see if they’ve fixed this

Yes it’s overhyped too. It wasn’t much of an upgrade compared to the first Ace Pro. DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro is still king
DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro is the same crap with its muddy picture and its color pink pig.
Nah, ace pro 2 has better photo and video quality. I own them both.
You missed to mention the really bad features. I've watched a lot videos of the new Ace Pro 2 now and while many times it looked good, there were also many time when its HDR goes crazy and creates the most artificial, fake and ugly looking videos I've ever seen on any action cam.

Shame! Still no interval video
RIP GoPro, rest well! result of a greedy CEO.
