According to the latest information, Insta 360 Ace Pro 2, Lens guard will have a cosmetic redesign and will be announced soon. We have been holding this for more than a week, just to get the Final image of the camera with the new lens guard. It does have a minor tweak in the lens guard design section; other than that, the internal specification will remain the same. A new series of Ace Pro 2 will now arrive with the cometically updated lens guard, upgrading the overall look of the Ace Pro 2 action camera. Hence, if you are an existing owner of the Ace Pro 2 Camera, then no need for an update. Just keep your Ace Pro 2 until the Ace Pro 3 comes out, so you are an existing owner of the Ace Pro to Camera, then no need for an updated camera for now.
Update #2: The latest firmware update includes a Lens Master category with the naming of a filter they don’t sell, the Black Mist Filter. Don’t get confused with the mist filter here; we are talking about Black Mist Filter, which is also available via third-party sellers. So, not only a cosmetic update over the guard design, but a new series of Ace Pro 2 will have more lens filter options soon.
Key Updates in the Insta360 Ace Pro 2
Just before the lens guard cosmetic update, Insta360 Ace Pro 2 has received a refreshed variant of the Arctic White Limited Edition, which was introduced back in September 2025. This edition also features exactly the same core specification as we have seen in the OG original Ace Pro 2, which includes 8K sensor resolution and high-grade co-engineering with Leica, powered by dual AI chips. With the help of the AI chip, the Ace Pro 2 can capture clear night shots with the help of the latest image and video processing AI algorithms. On the rear side, we also have a 2.5 Inch tilting display screen, highly useful for creating vlogs on the go for solo content creators, and waterproofing up to 12 meters (39 feet). All these specifications look very impressive even at the end of 2025, and I don’t think so, for now we need a major update in the core specification of the camera.
Notable aspects of this update include:
- Lens Guard Enhancements: The design incorporates a more durable round lens guard to minimise issues like gasket loss and prevent fog in the camera, an cosmtaic update not only to upscale the look but also to upscale the user experience of the existing camera.
- Accessory Integration: While most gear remains compatible, some older filters or caps may need minor adjustments, such as custom 3D-printed solutions, to fit perfectly.
- Firmware Additions: Recent updates introduce a “Lens Master” section with advanced filter options, hinting at future accessory expansions not yet available from Insta360.
The Rationale Behind the Refresh: Patents and Competition
The timing of this Ace Pro 2 cosmetic update may be linked to broader strategic moves. Insta360 has navigated patent challenges with competitors like GoPro in the past, particularly around stabilisation technologies, many of which have been resolved in their favour. The shift to a rounded lens design will make them distinguish it from rivals, and so reduce the risk of potential legal overlaps.
Insta360 Ace Pro 3: Arrival Date
We have recently got an arctic white series update for Ace Pro 2, and this month, in October, we have a facelift edition, although these are not major updates, minor tweaks, but that also indicates for now, Insta360 is still busy upscaling its Ace Pro 2 camera. AT the very same time, the camera can record 8K resolution and can compete against the latest glaship action cameras.
Now Hero 14 announcement is overdue, and the DJI Action 6 is rumoured to arrive this month. And after these major updates, we do believe Insta Ace Pro 3 will make its entry in the battlefield, and this is a common practice between the brands to stay ahead in the competition by tweaking their camera specs by scrutinising competitor specs and releasing their final versions to lead the market.
Speculation around the Insta360 Ace Pro 3 centres on a late 2025 debut, potentially it’s delayed for now
Drawing from release patterns:
- Ace Pro: Late 2023
- Ace Pro 2: 2024
- Ace Pro 3: Expected late 2025, or early 2026
Stay tuned, we will post an update as soon as we get any
