Insta360 Launches ‘Xplorer’ Accessory for its Leica-Powered Ace Pro 2 Camera

Insta360 is primarily recognized for manufacturing high-resolution video cameras, but it appears the collaboration with Leica has prompted them to venture into a new area. Recently, they’ve introduced the Xplorer Grip Kit and Ace Pro 2 Xplorer Bundle, which include a novel accessory designed to convert their top-tier Ace Pro 2 action camera into a handheld photography-style street camera, reminiscent of a Leica in some ways.

The Xplorer Grip Kit accessory set includes a revamped camera cage specifically designed for the Ace Pro 2. This multi-functional component functions both as an ergonomic handle and enables you to grasp the 8K AI-driven action camera in a manner reminiscent of handling a point-and-shoot camera. The package contains additional accessories that can be fastened onto the main Utility Frame, such as a Cold Shoe Shutter Button which acts as an extension for the shutter button. Insta360 claims this new bundle provides a “combination of modern aesthetics and vintage charm,” transforming their top-tier action camera into a fully-featured stills camera – or, in other words, the ideal instrument for street photography and urban exploration.

This innovative gadget brings a fresh lease of life to the Ace Pro 2, which was introduced in November last year, offering novel methods of utilization and expanding creative horizons for users of the camera. Notably, this accessory is compatible with the original Ace Pro as well, given their remarkably similar dimensions.

Right now, you can get your hands on Insta360’s latest accessory called the Xplorer. You have two options for acquisition:

1. Purchase the Xplorer Grip Kit separately at a cost of $84.99 USD.
2. Go for the Ace Pro 2 Xplorer Bundle, which includes an Ace Pro 2 camera and the Xplorer accessory, priced at $479.99 USD.
