GoPro trembles: this alternative records 4K at 120 FPS, with AI and Leica lens
Insta360, specialized from the beginning in its 360 recording cameras, recently launched a direct competitor to the best of the best of GoPro and DJI with its high-end action camera developed hand in hand with Leica.
The result of combining the best of Leica with the capacity of a Chinese manufacturer? An action camera that lacks nothing at a price that, although relatively high, is not at all exorbitant considering what it offers.
The first thing that catches our attention about this Ace Pro is its enormous 1/1.3″ 48 megapixel sensor that makes it the action camera with the largest sensor on the market along with the DJI Osmo Action 4.
This sensor size and resolution reminds us a lot of the iPhone 15 camera, which is not bad at all if we take into account that the set of lenses is much superior thanks to the Leica Summarit.
In addition to the Ace Pro, Insta360 just released the Ace, which is the most affordable version, although it is not worth it as much as it cuts back on sensor and lens size, which is what we like most about this Ace Pro model.
Both the Ace and Ace Pro have a unique low-light recording mode called PureVideo. Thanks to the AI chip manufactured in 5nm that these cameras include, an internal neural network runs several noise reduction filters to record more clearly in real time without devouring detail.
During the day, of course, it also records very well, especially in HDR shots with a data rate of up to 170 Mbps that prevents us from seeing any compression artifacts in the video. It is also worth noting that it is the first camera of its type capable of recording in 8K although limited to 24 fps.

However, what differentiates these cameras from the competition is its large 2.4″ touch screen capable of rotating on itself and which is ideal for recording YouTube videos or vlogs since it allows you to record yourself as if you were using a smartphone, but with all the advantages of an action camera.
Of course, it includes fast charging and is resistant to water, immersion, dust and shocks. The Ace Pro with Leica lens and 1/1.3″ 48 megapixel sensor is available on Amazon for 479 euros.
