Its disappointing to see no upgrades over the Ace Pro though, like an OLED panel.

The Ace Pro 2 also utilizes Insta360s magnetic mounting system, which is quick, secure and versatile.

The Ace Pro 2 does a solid job of ironing out the rough ride for smooth footage.

In moving images, soft corners are much less noticeable, and 4K footage looks fantastic.

Theres a night mode called Pure Video, which is locked to 30p when shooting 4K.

Pure Video brightens images up nicely, although doesnt clean up the noise and fuzziness.

If those kinds of videos and shots are important to you, opt for the GoPro.

The Ace Pro 2 has two features that enable its use as a dashcam.

During the test, the Ace Pro 2 demonstrated exceptionally good thermal performance.

While it became hot to the touch, it didnt overheat and stop recording at all.
