You normally use action cams to share videos on social media or with friends. You can now also use the "Ace Pro 2" as an instant camera with physical prints.

The action cam manufacturer Insta360 has presented three new bundles with its premium 8K cam «Ace Pro 2». In addition to the cam, they contain various accessories, some of which are new. The biggest surprise among the new accessories is a mini printer. Insta360 describes it as the first ever instant photo printer for an action cam. It allows you to share your impressions the old-fashioned way: as an analogue photo.

The battery-powered pocket printer communicates via Bluetooth with the «Ace Pro 2». It is not compatible with other cams.

High quality three-inch photos

The printouts are up to 54 × 72 millimetres in size, which corresponds to an image diagonal of three inches. The print quality is 300 dpi. The printer uses the dye-sublimation process: This uses neither ink nor toner, but a special photo paper coating. The printer uses heat to apply the dyes directly to the paper fibres.

The result should be of high quality and also resistant to moisture, dust and sunlight. This process is widely used in photo printers, such as the Polaroid Hi-Print or the Canon Selphy.

The mini printer is included in the «Flash Print» bundle and is also available separately - but only exclusively on the manufacturer's website. According to the manufacturer, the bundle is aimed at «trendsetters, young creators and students».
