I recently attended the debut event of the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 MM93 Edition at MotoCorsa, my local Ducati dealer in Portland, Oregon. They were fantastic hosts, and I took a spin on the new Multistrada V2 S to get to know the camera.
The Leica-lensed Ace Pro 2 has been available for about six months and has proven itself to be a high-quality action camera. Insta360 has teamed up with six-time MotoGP champion Marc Márquez to produce the limited MM93 Edition with Marc Márquez badging, a prominent #93, and red highlights recalling Ducati Lenovo Team MotoGP.
The MM93 Edition kit comes with an easy-to-install and remove helmet chin mount, two self-adhesive flexible mounts, two batteries, a 128GB microSD memory card, a preinstalled windscreen, a USB-C cable, and a printed Marc Márquez autograph card.
Upon delivery, the batteries were all charged to 50 percent, so I didn’t have to delay my ride waiting on a charge. The batteries will charge to 100 percent in 60 minutes, but with two 50 percent batteries in hand, I headed out immediately to try out the Ace Pro 2 and play with the Multistrada’s 110 horses for a while.
Connecting the Ace Pro 2 MM93 Edition to my iPhone and the Insta360 app proved to be quick and pain-free, just has it has with other Insta360 cameras that I have reviewed. Even doing it for the first time, a new owner will find the setup procedure easy to follow. Navigating around the menus is simple—swiping up, down or across. There is a short explanation near most selections, which is helpful for beginners.
The Ducati I was riding came with a phone mount, so I was able to use the Insta360 app on my iPhone to control the Ace Pro 2 and access all its settings. I set the camera to 8K resolution and 30 frames per second for the beginning of my ride. 8K eats up the batteries, so I power my Ace Pro 2 from the USB port on my personal bikes.
The chin mount perspective is interesting, as I had never used one before. I prefer to stand when riding an ADV bike, and the Multistrada V2 S features a comfortable standing geometry. When I showed the other debut participants my clips, they wondered if my videos were captured from a drone, as the chin mounting position with me standing in a forward stance did not show any of the bike.
Although I did not take the brand new Multistrada off-road, it is obvious that the Ace Pro 2 has excellent stabilization, like the other Insta360 cameras. The windscreen design, the microphone layout, and two AI chips doing heavy computational lifting make the wind noise all but disappear. The distinctive tone of the Ducati V-twin is clearly audible in all normal-speed videos.
The Insta360 Ace Pro 2 isn’t just for motorcycle memories. My daughter borrowed it to record some home renovations she is doing. She loved the voice command capabilities and the clear and crisp video she captured, even while recording in a dimly lit room.
Márquez said this about the ease of use: “For me, it’s important that things are easy. By instinct, you know how to use the camera. This is key, because if you make something, no matter how good it is, if it’s complicated or difficult to use, then people feel confused.”
Insta360 offers a range of accessories for the Ace Pro 2, including the Xplorer Grip Kit, GPS Preview Remote, and various types of remote microphones. I like the ability to simply point-and-shoot. Speaking with influencers and vloggers, I learned they loved its technical capabilities.
The MM93 Edition adds a unique visual style, with custom colors, logos, and packaging inspired by eight-time World Champion Marc Márquez. Although it doesn’t change how the camera works, MotoGP fans, or just riders who like gear with a bit of personality, will enjoy the design.
Overall, the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 MM93 Edition, with a list price of $560, offers high-quality video, excellent stability, impressive wind noise reduction, and is waterproof to a depth of 39 feet. It is a camera made for action, and for motorcyclists who want to capture their journey clearly, reliably, and effortlessly.
