All of the action cams tested are good companions for adventures in the great outdoors and for demanding shots of sporting activities. The GoPro Hero12 Black and Insta360 Ace Pro are particularly impressive in terms of image quality and features. If, on the other hand, you want a lot of accessories, the Rollei Action One is the right choice...

Insta360 has long since acquired the expertise for an action camera with its 360-degree cameras. The new Ace Pro is therefore one of the top solutions in this camera class right out of the box. The aforementioned drawbacks could be rectified with a firmware update. So we'll have to wait and see.

8K is not what makes the Insta360 Ace Pro the best action cam currently available. Rather, in addition to the top video quality, it is the many small details such as the foldable screen or the uniquely practical remote control.
