Insta360Ace Pro 2/Ace Pro/Ace Vertical-Horizontal Mount

Firstly, this product is extremely well constructed from high grade aluminium (not plastic as it may appear from the pictures). It fits my Insta360 Ace Pro 2 like a glove and once installed correctly is very strong and solid with no risk of falling off! Now, this brings me to the negative & 1 star reviews on Amazon, as well as some other places. I'm sorry to say this but, these are simply down to people not fitting the item correctly. I have easily replicated the "problem" that they perceive the device has. i.e. that 2 of the 4 grips do not lock into the camera and therefore the camera & Horizontal mount can come apart. The simple fact is that you need to push the mount onto the camera base until it gives a clear click. However, This does NOT adequately engage the 2 connectors nearest the curve of the L shape mount. You need to then squeeze the camera and mount together again but with the force very firmly applied directly above the "loose" pair of connectors until you hear a distinct 2nd click. At this point the mount should be perfectly fitted. You can test this easily by pulling at the Vertical arm of the mount (the part that covers the camera battery slot). It should feel completely solid. If there is ANY movement away from the camera then it is not fitted correctly and you need to repeat the process.I hope this helps you if you've already got one of these mounts and thought it was faulty. It probably isn't! I almost didn't purchase this item due to the negative reviews. I'm so glad I decided to "take a punt". As now I can use the camera as I intended.

I was really looking forward to expanding my creative possibilities with the Insta360 Ace/Ace Pro Vertical-Horizontal Mount, especially since capturing both vertical and horizontal formats is essential for today’s social media-driven content creation. However, I was disappointed to discover that this mount does NOT fit the new 360 Ace Pro 2. This incompatibility is a real let down, as the Ace Pro 2 is an impressive piece of equipment that deserves a fully compatible accessory to maximize its potential.The idea behind the mount was brilliant—it promises to let users effortlessly switch between shooting orientations to better suit different platforms and creative needs. Unfortunately, this feature now remains out of reach for those who have upgraded to the Ace Pro 2. The ability to take different format pictures is a highly valuable function, especially in an era where both portrait and landscape visuals are in demand. It would have been a significant enhancement for content creators, offering a flexible shooting experience that aligns with current digital trends.While the mount works flawlessly with older models, its failure to accommodate the Ace Pro 2 is a notable oversight. This limitation not only curtails creative versatility but also forces users like me to look for alternative solutions, potentially increasing both costs and the complexity of our gear setups. The absence of forward compatibility undermines what could have been an incredibly useful accessory for those invested in the latest technology.In summary, although the Insta360 Ace/Ace Pro Vertical-Horizontal Mount is well-built and functional for previous models, its lack of compatibility with the Ace Pro 2 is a significant drawback. The opportunity to capture varied format images with the Ace Pro 2 would have been an excellent addition, and I hope future iterations of this accessory address this gap for a more comprehensive, user-friendly experience.

Doesn’t click correctly on my Ace Pro. Can be removed easily.

Great built quality, a must for social media that requires vertical footage.Little bit pricy but definitely a must.
