[Insta360 Ace Pro 2 Xplorer Kit] | First vs Second Generation: Full Hands-On Comparison

Insta360 Ace Pro 2 先後推出過兩代街拍套裝：第一代於 2025 年 12 月 發售，第二代則在 2026 年 1 月 推出。需要特別說明的是，這兩代街拍套裝並非傳統意義上的「世代迭代」，而是不同設計的街拍方案。兩款街拍套裝皆由配件品牌 Tilta 與 Insta360 聯手打造。

街拍套裝的推出，直接讓 Ace Pro 2 從原本的「廣角運動相機」轉型為可以隨時街拍 + Vlog 的「LEICA徠卡平替街拍神器".

透過這篇實測，我將實際開箱這2代街拍配件，並詳細解析差異在哪。無論你是正在考慮入手 Ace Pro 2，或是已經擁有 Ace Pro 2、想透過配件升級來解鎖更多玩法，這篇實測將幫你一次搞懂 Ace Pro 2 最人氣的「街拍套裝」，是否值得升級、第一代和第二代該怎麼選。

Insta360 Ace Pro 2 Xplorer-Grip-Kit

我原本以為 Ace Pro 2 的8K錄製已經突破了傳統運動相機的定位，沒想到這款 「Xplorer Kit 1.0」 讓它再次令人驚艷。無論是外型設計還是整體性能，都有一種讓人難以抗拒的吸引力——是真正喚醒創作靈感，將「運動相機」的使用體驗帶到一個新的層次。

因此，我不打算用「好握」、「機身堅固」這類流於表面的評價來形容它。站在一位運動相機愛好者、攝影玩家，同時也是單眼用戶的角度來看，這款街拍配件的真正價值，在於它能充分釋放 Ace Pro 2 廣角鏡頭作為「相機」本質的優勢，讓拍攝更直覺、更接近真正的街拍創作流程。

Unboxing

The Insta360 Ace Pro 2 Street Photography Kit includes five practical accessories: a multi-purpose frame, cold shoe shutter button, decorative cold shoe cover, hand grip, and wrist strap—a complete setup designed to meet the real-world needs of street photography.

Insert the Camera into the Multi-Purpose Frame

The Xplorer Kit features a sturdy aluminum frame for enhanced durability and stability.

Press the button labeled “PRESS” to open the frame, then slide the Ace Pro 2 inward. Make sure to push it in firmly until you hear a clear “click,” which indicates that the camera is securely locked in place.

Install the Hand Grip

Remove the magnetic locking plate from the bottom of the hand grip, align it with the screw mount, and rotate it clockwise to secure the grip. The installation process is very intuitive and straightforward.

Install the shutter button and cold shoe

Next, install the shutter button and cold shoe module. This module links directly to the camera’s shutter button and also features a built-in cold shoe mount. Align it with the cold shoe slot and push it in firmly until it is securely locked in place.

Finally, slide the cold shoe into place to complete the installation.

Attach the wrist strap

If you want to attach the wrist strap, simply tie a knot on the outside to secure it in place.

Real-world shooting photos

When holding the grip, it doesn’t block the touchscreen at all, allowing you to stay fully focused on composition. With a simple press of the shutter button, the camera is triggered instantly. In real use, both the grip and overall handling feel excellent, delivering a smooth and intuitive shooting experience.

These are all street photos I shot using the Xplorer Kit. Paired with the Ace Pro 2’s LEICA filter, the camera delivers finished, publication-ready results straight out of the camera. The image quality is genuinely impressive—to the

The Leica filter is exceptionally well-suited for capturing Japanese street scenes. I happened to be sitting in the very front row of the train, with a completely unobstructed view, and managed to capture a shot I was genuinely happy with.

I’ve used all kinds of cameras for street photography, but these days, the one I reach for most often is the Ace Pro 2 Xplorer Kit. I recommend setting the camera to a Linear field of view, 12.5MP photo mode, and switching the framing to 2×. This effectively reduces the distortion caused by the ultra-wide lens, resulting in images that feel much closer to the look and character of a traditional camera.

Insta360 Ace Pro 2 Xplorer Kit 2.0

The Xplorer Kit 2.0 represents a comprehensive upgrade focused on grip comfort and overall handling. It connects directly to the camera via USB-C, enabling 1×–2× zoom control, exposure adjustment, shutter release, and even simultaneous charging. This thoughtful design allows the Ace Pro 2 to instantly transform into a genuinely practical and capable street photography camera.

Unboxing

The 2.0 version includes only a single camera frame accessory, and the installation process is even simpler than the first-generation version.

The kit uses a clip-on design—simply hook the latch on the side of the frame to open it. Open the Ace Pro 2’s charging port cover, then, after confirming the correct orientation, place the Ace Pro 2 into the accessory frame.Make sure the camera lens and the shutter button on the grip are facing the same direction. Once aligned, the installation is complete.

Built-in Battery

The hand grip features a built-in 2010mAh battery, effectively extending the camera’s recording time. Considering the Ace Pro 2’s internal battery is 1800mAh, this is equivalent to adding one extra battery’s worth of runtime.

In addition to the built-in battery, this accessory also supports an SD memory card. Once the Ace Pro 2 is powered on and connected to the grip, the system automatically recognizes the accessory and guides you through how to use the dial and buttons.
