Seemingly, there is a bit of a lull in action camera innovation. One might argue that not much has changed since Insta360 launched its Leica co-branded Ace Pro camera, which was the company's first GoPro-esque model with 4K resolution and a flip-out display.

The Insta360 Ace Pro is a flagship action camera designed to rival GoPro and DJI, with a strong focus on image quality and AI-assisted shooting.

It uses a comparatively large 1/1.3-inch sensor paired with a Leica-engineered lens, helping it capture more light and improve dynamic range, especially in low-light conditions.

Video is a headline feature, with support for 8K at 24fps, alongside 4K at up to 120fps and 1080p at 240fps for slow motion. Still images top out at 48MP, and the camera supports RAW shooting.

A standout design element is the 2.4-inch flip touchscreen, which makes framing yourself far easier than on most fixed-screen action cams. It also features Insta360’s FlowState stabilisation and Horizon Lock, plus AI tools like Highlights Assistant and low-light “PureVideo” mode.

Other key specs include waterproofing to 10m, fast charging (80% in ~22 minutes), and a 1650mAh battery delivering up to ~90 minutes of 4K recording.
