New: Insta360 Ace Pro 2 with Unrivaled 8K Image Quality & Smarter AI

The Transcontinenta Group, distributor for Insta360 in the Benelux, is thrilled to announce the latest addition to the Insta360 Ace series, the Insta360 Ace Pro 2. This groundbreaking wide-angle action camera delivers unparalleled 8K video quality, smarter, and easier Ai-powered shooting, enhanced audio and a more rugged design for the most extreme action.

Co-developed with Leica, it delivers serious performance enhancements with a sophisticated Dual AI chip, a first for an action camera, and state-of-the-art imaging with a new 1/1.3" 8K sensor and Leica SUMMARIT lens with a 157º field of view. Creators can experience smoother video with higher frame rates at 8K30fps and 4K60fps Active HDR, the unique and popular Insta360 PureVideo mode for excellent low light performance, a larger 2.5" flip touchscreen and more.

Unique Dual Chip for Unparalleled Image Quality

Legendary Leica optics once again meet Insta360 innovation in the form of a SUMMARIT lens, setting it apart from the competition with state-of-the-art image quality. Combined with an enhanced 1/1.3" 8K sensor with 13.5 stops of dynamic range, Leica colour profiles and i-LOG, the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 delivers stunning images in situations that other action cameras simply can't handle.

Its industry-leading dual chip design also contributes to its image quality and performance. The Insta360 Ace Pro 2 is the first action camera to feature a dedicated Pro Imaging chip that handles image processing and noise reduction. While a separate 5nm AI chip handles further image processing and overall camera performance for a smooth, seamless user experience. This dual chip also enables more shooting modes and higher specifications such as 8K30fps video, 4K60fps Active HDR and enhanced PureVideo for shooting under dark circumstances. Even during fast-moving scenes and high-intensity action, creators can enjoy smooth, sharp video thanks to higher frame rates, or slow things down with crisp 4K120fps slow-motion.

PureVideo mode and new colour profiles 

A complex, custom-trained AI neural network powers PureVideo, a specialized shooting mode that dramatically reduces noise and enhances detail in real time for cleaner, brighter images, even in extremely low light. Whether it's a twilight stroll or an evening drive, creators can capture what they never could before. During the day, enhanced 4K60fps Active HDR (High Dynamic Range) brings out all the detail in intense highlights and shadows for more vibrant footage. Meanwhile, a wider 157° FOV captures more of your surroundings - perfect for vlogging or when the scenery really matters. 

Exclusive Leica-designed colour profiles give footage its distinctive look and feel. For those looking for a professional colour grading workflow, the new i-LOG profile offers greater flexibility. Insta360's dedication to colour accuracy is also evident in the Insta360 Ace Pro 2's ability to maintain rich and accurate colours, even underwater.

Ready for Action Anytime, Anywhere

The upgraded Insta360 Ace Pro 2 boasts enhanced durability for extreme conditions. With improved waterproofing to 12 meters (60 meters with Dive Case) and -20ºC temperature handling, it's ready for winter sports and harsh environments. The new removable Lens Guard adds extra protection, while the all-new Wind Guard reduces noise for clearer audio. Refreshed audio algorithms further enhance clarity, immersing viewers in the action.

Insta360's leading FlowState Stabilization technology ensures videos remain incredibly smooth no matter what, while 360º Horizon Lock, now applied automatically in-camera, keeps everything perfectly level. Prioritizing performance and convenience, Insta360 Ace Pro 2 sports a bigger 1800mAh battery and a new Endurance Mode that offers a 50% longer runtime at 4K30fps than Insta360 Ace Pro. Fast charging powers the battery to 80% in 18 minutes or 100% in 47 minutes, so you can get back to the action quicker.

Expanded compatibility with top third-party sports accessories

Insta360 now works with top third-party sports accessories to enhance action video. Overlay real-time stats from Garmin, Apple, COROS and Nike Run Club. Moto vloggers can pair the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 with helmet headsets for clear audio and hands-free control. Users can also add stats via the Insta360 app or use the GPS Preview Remote for live preview and GPS data. 

Smarter, Easier Capture & Editing

Insta360's AI features revolutionize content creation for all skill levels. The in-camera AI Highlights Assistant automatically selects the best moments, while the mobile app uses AI for advanced auto-editing and creative effects. This eliminates complex editing workflows and instantly transforms clips with dynamic cuts and transitions. Other AI innovations include the Invisible Selfie Stick effect and AI Warp to bring imaginative ideas to life, enabling creators to produce stunning content effortlessly.
