Notes on 3 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1Insta360 Ace Pro 2, Max frame rate: 240 fps is only available in Slow Motion mode at 1080p.
  2. 2Insta360 Ace Pro 2, Pre-recording: Pre-Recording is limited to 1440p or lower resolution.
  3. 3Insta360 Ace Pro 2, Claimed max recording time: 180 min is claimed for 1080p24 in Endurance Mode, not for 4K.

Field of view: 360° vs standard

The DJI Osmo 360 captures a full 360° sphere, letting you reframe the shot in editing after the fact. The Insta360 Ace Pro 2 uses a 157° lens, so you must aim it at the action as you film.

If you shoot moving subjects and cannot predict what will be in frame, the 360° workflow is far more forgiving. If you already know your shot, the Ace Pro 2 is simpler and cheaper.

Field of view: 360° vs standard

What is the problem?

Video quality and flexibility

Both record 8K and handle 120 fps at 4K, but the Ace Pro 2 offers 240 fps in Slow Motion mode at 1080p and HDR video. The Osmo 360 records 10-bit color, which gives editors more room to adjust exposure and color in post.

HDR helps if you film in mixed lighting and want usable footage straight from the camera. The 10-bit depth benefits shooters who grade their footage. The Ace Pro 2 also supports H.264 alongside HEVC, which matters for older editing setups.

What is the problem?

Photos

The Osmo 360 takes 120 MP stills, far exceeding the Ace Pro 2's 50 MP. That resolution helps if you crop heavily or print large images.

The Ace Pro 2 shoots RAW photos, which the Osmo 360 does not. If you edit photos and want maximum control, the Ace Pro 2 is the only option here.

What is the problem?

Battery and size

The Osmo 360 claims 190 minutes of recording, slightly more than the Ace Pro 2's 180 minutes, and its 105 GB of built-in storage means you can shoot without a memory card. The Ace Pro 2 has no built-in storage.

The Ace Pro 2 is shorter and thinner, making it easier to mount on a helmet or handlebar where depth matters. The Osmo 360 is narrower but longer, which can affect how it sits on some mounts.

Durability and weather

The Ace Pro 2 is waterproof to 12 m without a case, and with the maker's dive case it reaches 60 m. The Osmo 360 is rated to 10 m, and no depth with its dive case is published.

Both operate from -20 °C to 45 °C, so cold-weather shooting is equally viable. If you dive deeper than 10 m, the Ace Pro 2 has a clear edge.

The Verdict

Buy the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 if you want a cheaper, smaller action camera with HDR, RAW photos, and deeper waterproofing without a case. Buy the DJI Osmo 360 if you need true 360° capture, 10-bit color, or built-in storage and higher-resolution stills.
