“I have the Insta360 X6 right over here, as well as the Ace Pro 2 right over here.”

“All right, so now this is a test using the Insta360 Ace Pro 2, but I am using the internal microphone, so this is what it sounds like.”

  VideoDC Rainmaker · October 2024Watch at 8:41
- “the Ace Pro 2 does a pretty special job of finding detail where the DJI Action 5 Pro's standard settings don't bother”

  PressDigital Camera World, Adam Juniper · November 2024Read the review

Complaints (7)
- “Low light footage is strong by action camera standards but still a weakness compared to even a modestly priced mirrorless camera.”
  PressTechRadar, Sam · October 2024Read the review
- “The JPEGs tend to look over-processing and over-sharpened”
  PressTechRadar, Sam · October 2024Read the review
- “the insta 360 is adding way too much brightness in the sky that just simply does not exist there in real life”
  VideoDC Rainmaker · October 2024Watch at 9:09
- “the colors on Insta 360 and DJI tend to be a bit more popped and they don't necessarily be as close to reality”
  VideoDC Rainmaker · October 2024Watch at 10:27
- “didn't handle the lights of Bridgwater Carnival quite as well as the DJI Action 5 Pro”
  PressDigital Camera World, Adam Juniper · November 2024Read the review
- “I'd like slightly more subtle tones”
  PressDigital Camera World, Adam Juniper · November 2024Read the review
- “Insta360 tends to push a little more toward saturated results than some of the competing cameras”

Praise (2)
- “Excellent all-round video”
  PressTechRadar, Sam · October 2024Read the review
- “8K Resolution and sensor size can't be faulted”
  PressDigital Camera World, Adam Juniper · November 2024Read the review
Complaints (6)
- “the Ace Pro 2 will eventually get too warm to function and shut itself down as a result”
  PressTechRadar, Sam · October 2024Read the review
- “8K also doesn't support the best level of image stabilization, doesn't allow you to use the flat I-log color profile and, despite the bump up to 30fps, still limits frame rate compared to the lower resolution modes.”
  PressTechRadar, Sam · October 2024Read the review
- “the only downside though is it's still 8 bit log and not 10 bit log so that's going to be a bit of disappointment for some”
  VideoDC Rainmaker · October 2024Watch at 13:08
- “it seems a shame 10-bit color isn't on offer”
  PressDigital Camera World, Adam Juniper · November 2024Read the review
- “I also think standard video looks a bit better on the Go Ultra versus the Ace Pro 2”
  VideoDominic Ong · February 2026Watch at 5:23
- “I definitely do see a lack of colors when it comes to log versus DLOG over on the DJI end”

Praise (7)
- “One thing I do like a lot is the magnet- and clip-based mounting system, which allows for fast fixing and unfixing of the Ace Pro 2 to mounts and accessories.”
  PressTechRadar, Sam · October 2024Read the review
- “The plus is that it's a lot bigger than the front-facing screens you get on those rival cameras, giving you a clearer view and more space for touchscreen tapping”
  PressTechRadar, Sam · October 2024Read the review
- “I like this much bigger screen for certain scenarios”
  VideoDC Rainmaker · October 2024Watch at 6:12
- “the Ace Pro 2 feels immediately robust in the hand”
  PressDigital Camera World, Adam Juniper · November 2024Read the review
- “Logical menu system”
  PressDigital Camera World, Adam Juniper · November 2024Read the review
- “it is very easy to use”
  VideoDominic Ong · February 2026Watch
- “haptic feedback, super smooth, super easy, super simple”
  VideoDominic Ong · February 2026Watch at 3:13
Complaints (5)
- “The minus is that you have to physically flip it back and forth every time you switch from front to back shooting, which is more effort than simply spinning the camera round and continuing to shoot.”
  PressTechRadar, Sam · October 2024Read the review
- “pulling the screen up especially with gloves and stuff like that is pretty cumbersome”
  VideoDC Rainmaker · October 2024Watch at 6:15
- “which probably is one of the most notable downsides of this camera is that this front screen right there is just for status only”
  VideoDC Rainmaker · October 2024Watch at 6:01
- “Slightly bulkier and heavier than the competition”
  PressDigital Camera World, Adam Juniper · November 2024Read the review
- “a hinge is still slightly more vulnerable in some cases”
