Insta360 drops Luna Ultra today, slotting directly beside DJI’s Osmo Pocket. The 2‑inch OLED screen detaches for remote control up to 66 feet, while AI tracking keeps subjects centered. Built for vloggers and travelers, it offers a fresh entry into the gimbal market.

Under the hood, Leica’s Summicron lens mates a one‑inch sensor that records 8K video at 30fps and captures 37‑megapixel stills. A secondary 1/1.3‑inch telephoto unit delivers up to 12× zoom and dreamy bokeh. Dolby Vision support and a 1,550mAh battery promise cinema‑grade clarity and four hours of shooting.

Storage caps at 47GB internally, expandable to 1TB via microSD, while the Luna Ultra’s 47GB capacity and 4‑hour runtime suit extended trips. Users can edit footage in Insta360’s app or pull timecodes into Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere. The device handles wind with a built‑in guard, but a separate mic is required for clean audio.

Priced at $770, Luna Ultra sits a few hundred dollars above DJI’s base Pocket 4, which lacks a U.S. release. Consumers face a clear choice: a Leica‑backed, 8K‑ready gimbal with detachable control for a premium price, or a more affordable, domestically available DJI option. Insta360’s entry signals that the compact‑camera market will grow more competitive.
