The AOI QRS quick release system is designed for underwater creators using the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 camera. It delivers a rapid-mount solution so you can switch wet lenses and mounts quickly without tools.
Ideal for divers and videographers working with the Ace Pro 2 dive housing, this mount base streamlines your workflow — but note: it only fits the correct dive housing and compatible lenses.
- What it is: a quick-release mount base engineered by AOI for underwater rigs.
- Best for: users of the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 with its dedicated dive housing who want to swap wet lenses rapidly.
- Not for: standard Ace or Ace Pro housings unless explicitly confirmed compatible.
- Key compatibility: supports lenses like UCL-03, UWL-03, UWL-03PRO on the appropriate housing.
- Important limitation: requires the matching dive case for the Ace Pro 2 — the base alone isn’t a housing.
