Insta360 - Ace Pro 2

Your choices are basically the ace pro 2 vs action 4/5/6. Go pro is worse in basically every element compared to DJI&insta360. Get the ace pro 2 if you want the “best” quality (as in sharpness, color & detail) but it’s subjective bc some ppl prefer the colors of the action pro and vice versa. Also the quality is basically the same between the 2 cameras but if you nit pick every detail, the ace pro is maybe 5% better (I can’t really tell tbh). Ace pro also has flip able back panel so if you want to blog, you can see yourself better. Action pro has a small screen on the camera side but harder to see. The ace pro is also bigger and heavier than the action pro. And the batteries & battery charger cost more. Battery is also weaker/ doesn’t last as long be the action. Action pro has much better battery & auto integration with DJI mic. Low light recording (night time) is about the same when I see it. Colors are subjective, I think I like the ace pro more than the DJI but if you compare videos from both cameras without telling me which camera recorded which video, I wouldn’t know which is which lol Default mic on the action pro is much better than the ace pro, but get a DJI mic 2/3 and that solves that problem At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter which one you get. I personally got the action pro 5 with the easier mic compatibility & longer battery life & lighter camera. I was also annoyed 360 was charging $60 for the battery case

Get the ace pro 2 or action 4/5/6, go pro is trash compared to the other 2 companies. X5 quality is low. Get the ace pro 2 if weight isn’t an issue and u want slightly better colors/quality (subjective). Get the action pro if you want better battery and DJI mic compatibility. I ended up getting the action 5 and really like it (also own the X5 and stopped using it when I travel due to low quality)

We have been testing an insta360 Ace pro 2 for about a month in different lighting and dive conditions. I have to say that we are very impressed with the quality that allows us to go beyond what the GOPro range of cameras have allowed us in post production. We also have an assortment of phone dive cases from Sealife sport diver, Ocenic +, and Divevolk. They are great also, but the Ace Pro 2 has far exceeded the quality any of our phones have been able to provide. We have used IPhones 15 Pro Max, Samsung S24 and S25 Ultra, in the different cases with different software.

I use the Ace Pro 2 and it’s much better it terms of image quality from the GoPro offerings. I do have multiple GoPro but the Ace Pro 2 beats it hands down thanks to the lens quality and the sensors ability to absorb light in darker environments. We also have multiple dive cases, and yes they work fine, but you have to have more co control over the camera to avoid shaking and erratic movements.

The insta 360 ace pro 2 has a fantastic price and it has better optics than the DJI and the GoPro.

Yeah, the Ace Pro 2 had that as well. But it came off the mount and smashed on a rock as it fell, going straight through the protective glass and damaging the lens itself.

I just returned my Ace Pro 2 yesterday. We will see.

I had the Ace Pro 2 and returned it. Capture button was uncomfortably hard to press and I wasn’t thrilled with the picture quality either. Love the photo quality from my Pocket 3 and DJI drone, so would think their action cam would be likewise good.

I just bought the ace pro 2. I like it, but with the xplorer Pack it feels pretty heavy. For street photography for me personally I don’t know if it’s the right choice.

You’re on the gopro subreddit. Of course anyone saying anything other than gopro are getting downvoted. Go ask that question on a diving sub and the asnwer will be Insta360 and DJI. Personally i had issues at night with weird reflections on the edges of my Ace Pro 2, but a friend that was with me had no isues with his DJI action 5.

Buy the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 + Xplorer Grip Kit. That grip kit turns it into a camera type body and it takes ultimate photos and videos! And fits on any action camera stick.

And they have a way better low light mode and other goodies.

Open youtube on your desktop pc, the one with a 32" display, and search for reviews comparing Ace Pro 2 and Hero 13.

I’ve been using the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 and love it. Here are a couple examples from my recent trip to Roatan: [The Odyssey wreck dive](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMA-nnnxxuZ/?igsh=MTByaXV5YTB5cXc1aQ==) and here’s a mantis shrimp [filmed at 120 fps](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DL87tRQM350/?igsh=Mndmamk0YnVqY3Y0) and a [good lowlight example](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DL3LcGNx1NA/?igsh=NHpzMmg2cXR5ajVy)

I am using the Insta 360 Ace Pro 2, with an underwater case and it works like a charm. There are many, you could even use the sea life sportsdiver with your phone. I just have a separate camera - in case of a leak etc.

I just got an ace pro 2, and the night and day difference in raw video from my hero 11 is crazy. Crystal clear shots. Amazing low-light footage. The tiktokers and influencers aren’t wrong. The GoPro is absolutely the weakest of these cameras…except in underwater. From all the research I’ve done, for some reason, GoPro still shoots best underwater. Don’t know if it’s a mixture of the exposure the other cameras have that improve daytime video, so it over exposes underwater.
