"Any tech nerd can look at an action camera and know what it's for. And then look at an instant camera and know that its use case, audience, and environment are completely different. There's really no need for an action camera while taking group photos in front of the Eiffel Tower, and you never use an instant camera to capture your POV while dirt biking. Insta360 basically decided to change that."
"Their latest Videography Bundle for the Ace Pro 2 features a variety of accessories, one of them being a snap-on printer that turns the action cam into a wide-angle Polaroid of sorts. Take a photo, select it, and print it out. Insta360 believes a camera is a camera is a camera, you don't need three devices to do the same job. The Videography Bundle proves that. Heck, what's next, a webcam attachment for the Ace Pro 2?"
"The Pocket Printer is the accessory getting most of the attention, and for good reason. It's a compact wireless module that connects to the Ace Pro 2 via Bluetooth and physically mounts to the camera using the new Xplorer Grip Pro. The quick-release system on the grip's base lets you snap the printer on and off, so you're not permanently committed to carrying extra bulk when you just want a lightweight action cam."
Action cameras and instant cameras typically serve distinct use cases and environments. Insta360 combined those functions by adding a snap-on Pocket Printer to the Ace Pro 2 via its Videography Bundle. The Pocket Printer connects wirelessly over Bluetooth and mounts with the Xplorer Grip Pro's quick-release system for easy attachment and removal. The combined setup produces roughly 2×3-inch Zink prints that dry instantly, resist smudging, and endure normal handling. Zink paper contains heat-activated dye crystals, eliminating ink cartridges or film packs and requiring only paper refills. The Ace Pro 2 retains 8K video capability and ruggedness while offering instant physical prints.
