Insta360 finally unveiled the Luna Ultra, a dual‑lens handheld gimbal positioned against DJI’s upcoming Osmo Pocket 4P.
The camera pairs a Leica Summicron 1‑inch sensor with a 1/1.3‑inch telephoto sensor, delivering up to 8K 30 fps video, 12× total zoom and 240 fps 1080p slow‑motion. Its standout hardware is a 2‑inch OLED touchscreen that detaches entirely, allowing control from as far as 20 m (65 ft). The screen flips between portrait and landscape, and the unit supports 10‑bit I‑Log, built‑in timecode, up to four hours of battery life, fast charging to 80 % in 23 minutes, 47 GB internal storage plus microSD, and a $769.99 price tag.
The detachable screen could change how creators capture on the go, eliminating the need for a phone as a viewfinder and making distance shooting practical for vloggers and documentary crews. Combined with Leica optics and professional‑grade color pipelines, the Luna Ultra gives small‑scale productions tools that previously required larger rigs.
At $770 the Luna Ultra is cheaper than many cinema‑grade gimbals, but it still faces DJI’s brand pull and a crowded pocket‑camera market. Time will tell if the remote screen gimmick translates into sustained sales.
