The Insta360 Ace Pro is an impressive debut as the brand's first traditional action camera. It's the first of its kind to offer a flip screen, which is highly convenient, especially when filming yourself, and it provides image quality that's comparable with the best in the business. The low-light performance is incredible, and there's a good possibility it exceeds the capabilities of the DJI Osmo Action 4, though I wasn't able to test them side by side to confirm this. The problem lies with the pricing; the Ace Pro costs around $50 more than either of its closest competitors, and that makes it a tough sell. There are things that it does better: the software is best-in-class, and no other action camera offers a flip screen, for example, but whether that's worth the cost of admission is up to you.
