Insta360 Ace Pro: premium image quality in the smartest action camera!

Insta360 Ace Pro premium image quality in the smartest action camera

The Transcontinenta Group, the Insta360 distributor for the Benelux, announces the Insta360 Ace Pro, a groundbreaking wide-angle action camera that delivers smarter, AI-enabled action shots and exceptional 8K image quality.

Co-developed with industry giant Leica, the Insta360 Ace Pro features an industry-leading 1/1.3" sensor that sets a new standard in imaging performance. This action camera is a pioneer in its class, capable of shooting stunning 8K video. It also offers 4K 120fps video, 48MP stills, PureVideo for low-light shooting and more, making it a versatile tool for any adventure.

Packed with unique, intelligent shooting features powered by the latest AI technology, the Ace Pro features a vlogging-friendly 2.4" flip touchscreen for creative flexibility. Innovative features such as gesture and voice control, the AI Highlights Assistant and the custom keyword-based AI Warp feature transform the shooting and editing experience.

JK Liu, CEO of Insta360, said: "With the Insta360 Ace Pro, we're bringing smarter action capture to thrill seekers around the world. Our advances in AI have allowed us to introduce features that not only simplify the video creation process for users, but also open up entirely new ways to make shots stand out."

Unbeatable image quality: Day and night

The Ace Pro's premium 1/1.3" sensor captures more light and offers superior dynamic range, ensuring high performance in a variety of scenarios, including fast-moving action or low light. The collaboration with Leica brings unparalleled expertise in optical design and imaging to the camera.

The Ace Pro supports 8K video, which offers 400% more resolution than 4K, ensuring exceptional detail. In 4K video mode, it offers unique capabilities, especially in low light. The 5nm AI chip and large sensor enable PureVideo mode, which combines noise reduction, improved brightness and dynamic range for impressive stabilization and detail capture, even at night. This extends the range of uses you can get out of the camera, from twilight walks to late-night city shots.

During the day, the Ace Pro comes into its own with built-in Active HDR (High Dynamic Range). This is particularly useful when shooting scenes with both light and dark areas, with more detail in the highlights and shadows and more vibrant images. A lot of work has also gone into colour accuracy. Ace Pro delivers accurate and rich colours, even underwater.

A smarter way to shoot

The Ace Pro's robust 2.4" flip touchscreen makes it easy to compose shots, ideal for vlogging, selfies or challenging angles. The magnetic mounting system allows for quick camera setup and accessory changes. Internally, a series of new features solve problems that have plagued action enthusiasts for years:

  • Clarity Zoom: 2x zoom with no loss of quality.
  • Gesture Control: Use hand gestures to start/stop recording or take photos.
  • Cancel Recording: Cancel recordings instantly to save space and reduce file clutter.
  • Pause/Resume Recording: Pause and resume recording for continuous file capture.
  • Live snapshot: Take high-resolution photos while recording a video.
  • AI Highlights Assistant automatically detects peak moments for in-camera review, allowing creators to compile exciting moments into an epic recap or select their favourites.
Unleash your creativity

Ace Pro features a unique Stats Dashboard that integrates with Garmin devices or Apple Watch to overlay video with GPS and speed data. The AI Warp tool in Insta360's Shot Lab adds dynamic effects to videos based on custom keywords.

Action anytime, anywhere

Waterproof to 10 metres and with an optional dive case for depths up to 60 metres, the Ace Pro is built for all environments. It works in temperatures as low as -20°C and uses FlowState stabilization for smooth video. The 360° Horizon Lock feature keeps videos level in dynamic conditions. Fast charging means the battery reaches 80% in just 22 minutes and is fully charged in 46 minutes.
