Co-engineered with Leica and packed with innovative features, the new Insta360 Ace Pro flagship 360 action cam harnesses AI to deliver superior imaging performance and more.
Insta360 is best known for its lineup of handheld action cams, 360 cams and gimbals, along with some niche products like its affordable 4K webcam and the higher-end Insta360 Pro 2 Spherical VR 360 8K camera. With its sights set squarely on the competition, the new Insta360 stays the course in more ways than one but stands out for a few notable reasons.
For starters, the collaboration with Leica is bound to boost image quality exponentially – it’s even got a legendary Leica Summarit lens – and the handy 2.4-inch flip touchscreen makes this a logical choice for vlogging applications. But it’s the thoroughly thought-through features they’ve packed inside, many of them guided by groundbreaking AI, that really set this camera apart.
PureVideo
Powered by a 5nm AI chip, the camera uses a custom-trained AI neural network to denoise footage for a clearer image in real time.
AI Highlights Assistant
This built-in feature automatically detects choice moments in a video and delivers highlights for in-camera review, from which you can then pick the ones you like and merge them into a single vignette.
Custom-keyword based AI Warp
Using preset or custom-chosen keywords, you can add dynamic effects to your videos with this highly personalized premium AI feature.
Clarity Zoom
Use this smart new feature to zoom in and out with up to two times magnification but without any visible loss in image quality.
Gesture Control
With the Insta360 Ace Pro, you can use hand signals to start and stop recording or take a photo – which comes in especially handy if you’re shooting in a noisy environment or other situations where don’t feel comfortable using voice control.
Cancel Recording
If you’re not pleased with your take, for whatever reason, you can cancel the recording instantly and just start over again, saving space on the SD card and avoiding some annoying hassles and headaches later.
Pause/Resume Recording
When you’ve got some downtime in between shots, you can simply hit pause and record to maintain one continuous file for easier management and editing later.
Photo Grab
When you’re shooting a video and the perfect photo op suddenly emerges, you can keep filming and still take a pic at the same time – it’ll be in far higher resolution than a typical screen grab taken from the video.
