INSTA360 ACE PRO 2

Posted on 2024-11-04

Insta360 has updated its Ace action camera series with the launch of the new Insta360 Ace Pro 2, building on its partnership with Leica from last year.

The Ace Pro 2 features an upgraded 1/1.3” 8K sensor that provides 13.5 stops of dynamic range, making it capable of handling the most challenging light situations. Its lens is made by Leica, a Leica Summarit lens with a 157-degree field of view.

There’s a new Wind Guard that helps to keep wind and other external noise at a minimum, as well as a new and removable Lens Guard that will help to provide users with peace of mind. Both of these accessories can be attached to and removed from the camera with ease thanks to its magnetic mounting system. The Ace Pro 2 features a new, bigger 1800mAh battery for longer shooting, as well as new modes such as Endurance Mode that further help to extend battery life between charges, providing “50% longer runtime at 4K 30fps” over the previous model, according to Insta360 .

JEROME CAJA – UGLY PAGEANT

Posted on 2024-11-04

Jerome’s midwestern Catholic school upbringing was foundational to both the physical and representational aspects of his work from the late eighties until his untimely death due to complications from AIDS in 1995. Caja’s paintings, intimate in scale and primarily composed in nail polish and glitter on found materials like plastic tip trays or scraps of wood, lace, and other refuse, often resemble Catholic miniatures, icons, or reliquaries, depicting saints and other figures in bawdy, grotesque scenes.
