As its name indicates, Insta360 is best known for its 360-degree cameras. The recent announcement of the Ace Pro is the company's expansion into the more traditional form factor pioneered by GoPro and integrates some of the industry's latest tech, including a high-end processor and large sensor. But is it enough to set this camera apart in the crowded action camera market?
Alongside Pergear's new 1TB CFexpress Type-A card, the discount photography company has also launched something altogether different, an $80 50-megapixel waterproof action camera.
Earlier this year, a major vulnerability in Insta360 camera software was discovered by users on Reddit. In short, it let anyone connect to any Insta360 camera and download the photos. Seven months later and much of the issue remains unfixed.

Creator Kasper from the YouTube channel MAKESOME recently set himself a challenge. After a request from his friend and photographer Mick Friis, he decided to try and create a cable cam on the cheap—basically turning an RC car into something like a Wiral LITE, or a smaller version of the Syrp slingshot.
An intriguing little camera stabilizer has blown up on Kickstarter over the past couple of weeks, raising over $270K with more than two weeks left in the campaign. It's called the 'GravGrip' and it's a pocket-sized, hydraulic-based stabilizer for action cameras and smartphones.
25-year old YouTuber Mr. Michal of the Czech Republic recently took his GoPro for a spin... literally. He strapped his GoPro to a lathe, centered the camera, and captured a dizzying set of shots while it spun at everything from 14 all the way up to 1800rpm.
Insta360 has just revealed the (painfully) teased Insta360 One R "adaptive" action camera. The modular creation was co-engineered with Leica, and features a "unique interchangeable lens design" that lets you swap between modules for standard 4K, 360° video, 5.3K with a 1-inch sensor, and more.
This one is painful to watch. In a new video teaser for an upcoming modular camera, Insta360 decided to get creative (and destructive) by literally putting an action cam, a 360 camera, a "1-inch cam" and a drone into a blender.

The action camera world is dominated by GoPro, both above and below sea level, thanks to its image quality and tough housings. But now Danish startup company Paralenz looks to shake up the market with its action camera targeted specifically to scuba divers.
Garmin has unveiled the VIRB 360, a waterproof and dustproof camera that records both audio and video in 360 degrees, taking 15-megapixel spherical stills and video in 5.7K at 30fps. With a retail price of $800, it is not cheap, but the money buys you industry-leading resolution.

When Sony released the A7s, they did something strange. While everyone else was adding megapixels, they took them away for the sake of low light capability. Well... Casio just took that strategy to the extreme with their new 1.9MP EX-FR110H action camera.
Strapping a smartphone onto a POV 'necklace' is soooo last season. If you want the newest, coolest way to receive weird looks on the street, the Smabow baseball cap with camera mount is definitely the way to go.
GoPro is calling the new Hero 5 Black "Simply the best GoPro, ever." They're not wrong. Waterproof to 33ft out of the box and featuring 4K video, stabilization, voice commands, and more, the Hero 5 Black is a lot of action camera for $400.
Sony is upping its action cam game in a big way today. The company's already well-regarded action cameras, big competitors for that GoPro that hasn't come out yet, just got Optical SteadyShot Stabilization.

GoPro wants you to strap its action cam to a sportbike, or your snowboard, or your BASE jumping helmet; Polaroid has other ideas. The company's Polaroid Cube and Cube+ action cams recently got their own... shot glass mount.
Olympus wants to shake up the action cam market, and they think the Stylus Tough TG-Tracker is the way to do it. And given how rugged and well-equipped the cam is right out of the box, the TG-Tracker may just be impressive enough to do it.
It seems Olympus will soon take its 'Tough' series of point-and-shoots in a new direction. A leaked product photo gives us a first look at what many suspect will be the company's first "Tough" action camera.
There's a new action cam on its way to market, and when it arrives it may give GoPro, Sony, and all the rest a serious run for their money. Why? Because this camera, the new Revl Arc, is the world's first action cam with built-in image stabilization.
