We hope you’re not done with action cameras just yet, because it appears that another one is expected to be unveiled soon. This time around, seemingly gearing up to launch a new device of this category is Insta360, at least according to the series of leaks recently shared on X by tech insider Igor Bogdanov (aka Quadro_News).
As per said leaks, the product in question is revealed to be the Ace Pro 2, the successor to the high-end variant of the brand’s action camera line-up that was launched last year. The images depict the newer device sporting a mostly similar design to its predecessor, complete with a front-facing vertical screen and a rear LCD display that can be flipped up. An included spec sheet suggests that the camera is also water and shock resistant, capable of withstanding depths of 33 feet for the former and drops as far as five feet for the latter.
