Insta360 Ace Pro 2 Xplorer Grip Pro Kit

A more considered way to capture the everyday The Insta360 Ace Pro 2 Xplorer Grip Pro Kit brings the feel of a compact camera to an action camera you already know. A shaped grip, tactile shutter button, exposure dial and zoom control make everyday photography and travel filming more deliberate, while an integrated battery supports longer sessions. The fitted frame also adds an external microphone connection and practical accessory mounting, creating a compact recording setup without changing the camera itself. Highlights Purpose-built grip and control frame for Insta360 Ace Pro 2. Tactile shutter button, customisable dial and dedicated zoom knob. Integrated rechargeable battery supports extended camera use. 3.5 mm input for compatible external analogue microphones. Cold shoe, quick-release connection and spare microSD card storage. Key Features A camera grip that changes the experience The contoured handle gives the Ace Pro 2 a more substantial hold for street photography, travel details and everyday video. The removable shutter button adds a defined point of contact, while the included wrist strap helps keep the camera close at hand. Choose the matching colour and build a purposeful compact setup around your existing camera. Direct controls for a deliberate shot Use the shutter button to take a photo or start and stop recording. The dial adjusts exposure compensation by default and can be assigned supported exposure, shooting-mode or filter functions. A separate zoom knob provides 1× to 2× control in supported modes. These are camera controls rather than an interchangeable optical lens; the available functions depend on the selected mode and current firmware. Additional power for longer sessions The integrated battery can supply the connected camera once the power setting is enabled. Manufacturer tests report up to 140 minutes at 4K 60 fps with HDR enabled, or up to 5 hours 40 minutes under the more economical 1080p 24 fps Endurance setup. These are different laboratory conditions, not interchangeable runtime promises. Actual recording time varies with mode, temperature and use. Bring a microphone into the setup A built-in 3.5 mm input accepts compatible single or dual analogue microphones, giving interviews and travel recordings an additional audio option. It is an input rather than a headphone-monitoring socket. The cold shoe can hold a suitable accessory without supplying electrical power, while the bottom connection works with compatible Insta360 quick-release accessories and the Standard Mount. Small details that make a difference The frame includes a storage position for a spare microSD card, helping keep a replacement close to the camera. This slot stores a card only; it is not a recording slot or card reader. A supplied audio-port cover protects the unused socket, and the removable shutter button and wrist strap complete the kit without adding unnecessary loose components. Fit securely before heading out Remove the camera USB cover, align the fitted USB-C connector and close the frame buckle securely. Enable the grip in the camera accessory settings and keep the firmware current. The grip is not waterproof, so use it in suitable dry conditions and restore the camera USB cover after removing the frame. The camera, microphone, memory card and mounting accessories shown in application images are sold separately. Summary The Insta360 Ace Pro 2 Xplorer Grip Pro Kit combines a comfortable hold, direct shooting controls, additional power and microphone connectivity in one fitted frame. It suits creators who want their everyday Ace Pro 2 setup to feel more intentional, with useful controls close to the hand and a clear route to compatible accessories.

The Ace Pro 2 camera, microphones, memory cards and other mounting accessories are sold separately. It is designed for Ace Pro 2, not the original Ace Pro. How do I power the camera from the grip?ExpandCollapse Fit the camera correctly, update its firmware and enable Power the camera in the Xplorer Grip accessory settings. The current manufacturer manual states that the grip stops powering the camera below 15% remaining charge.

Can I use headphones or charge my phone from it?ExpandCollapse The 3.5 mm socket accepts compatible analogue microphones and does not support headphones. The fitted camera USB-C plug is customised for the Ace Pro 2 connection and is not intended to charge a phone. Will I get the same runtime in every recording mode?ExpandCollapse No. The manufacturer reports up to 140 minutes in a fully charged 4K 60 fps HDR test, and up to 5 hours 40 minutes at 1080p 24 fps in Endurance mode with Active HDR off. Temperature, settings and real-world use affect runtime. Is the grip waterproof, and what does its card slot do?ExpandCollapse The grip is not waterproof. Keep the 3.5 mm cover fitted when the audio input is unused and restore the camera USB cover after removing the grip. The microSD position stores a spare card only; the camera still records to its own memory-card slot. 続きを読む
