DJI has always been a reliable — and largely the only one — option in the world of small handheld cameras. Its Osmo Pocket series became the go-to choice for vloggers, travellers, and content creators who wanted smooth, high-quality video in a tiny package. 

But this year, it’s not alone, no more. Insta360, a brand famous for its 360-degree cameras, has stepped into DJI’s backyard with the Luna Ultra, and DJI has fired back with the Osmo Pocket 4P. The result is an exciting battle in compact cameras we’ve seen in years.

Both the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P and the Insta360 Luna Ultra are pocket-sized gimbal cameras. That means they have a built-in stabiliser to keep your videos smooth even while you walk, run, or move around. Both cameras also come with two lenses: a wide-angle lens for landscape and general shots, and a zoom lens for getting closer to your subject. Coincidentally, this dual-lens design is a first for both brands in this category, and it’s one reason why everyone is talking about them.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4P

The Pocket 4P is DJI’s most advanced pocket camera yet. It carries a 1-inch main sensor with a 20mm wide-angle lens at f/2.0, paired with a second 60mm zoom lens at f/1.8, which DJI says is a “golden portrait” focal length, because it makes faces look natural and gives that blurry background effect people love.

The gimbal has an incredible 17 stops of dynamic range, up from 14 stops on the standard Pocket 4. This means the camera can capture both bright skies and dark shadows in the same shot without losing detail. It can record 10-bit D-Log2 colour.

On the performance side, the Pocket 4P can shoot 4K video at up to 240 frames per second for super-smooth slow motion. It has 103GB of built-in storage, and the battery is rated at 210 minutes; it can charge to 80% in just 18 minutes. The camera also gets ActiveTrack 8.0, DJI’s latest subject-tracking technology, which keeps your subject in frame even when you’re using the zoom lens.

The Pocket 4P weighs 230 grams and connects via Wi-Fi 6 and USB 3.1 for fast file transfers. It starts at around 3,799 yuan in China — roughly $525 USD — though global pricing is expected to land between $649 and $699.

There is one big catch, though. Because DJI has been placed on the US government’s FCC Covered List since late 2025, the Pocket 4P cannot be sold officially in the United States. 

Insta360 Luna Ultra

Insta360 announced the Luna Ultra in June, and it went on sale almost immediately. Unlike the Pocket 4P, it’s available globally — including in the US — at $769.99. That makes it a perfect option for American creators who can’t get their hands on DJI’s latest.

The Luna Ultra was co-engineered with Leica, the legendary German camera maker. It has a 1-inch main sensor with a Leica Summicron 20mm f/1.8 lens, and an 8K video recording mode, which the Pocket 4P does not offer. The second lens is a 60mm f/2.0 telephoto on a 1/1.3-inch sensor, offering 3x optical zoom that extends up to 6x in-sensor and 12x digital zoom. Both cameras, interestingly, land on very similar optical setups.

Where the Luna Ultra really stands out is its design. It has an industry-first detachable 2-inch OLED touchscreen that can be pulled off the body and used as a wireless remote control. The screen can also be reattached in a variety of positions.

The Luna Ultra runs a triple AI chip setup, with a 4nm AI processor and two dedicated imaging chips. It supports Dolby Vision recording, Insta360’s I-Log colour profile for post-production editing, and a 4K60fps PureVideo low-light mode. Its battery life is rated at around four hours, and the camera can charge to 80% in roughly 23 minutes.

The camera also offers Leica-branded colour filters for quick, cinematic looks. It weighs just over 200 grams. 

Head to Head: How Do They Compare?

Which One Is Right for You?

If you’re outside the United States and value the very best image quality, the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P is a really good option. It also edges ahead on built-in storage and fast charging. DJI’s software ecosystem, tracking technology, and accessory range are also well established.

However, if you’re in the US, or if 8K video recording, the innovative detachable screen, and a Leica-tuned look matter to you, the Insta360 Luna Ultra is the one to get. It’s pricier, but it’s available right now, it’s globally supported, and for a first-generation vlogging camera, Insta360 has done more than we could ask for.

The post DJI Osmo Pocket 4P vs Insta360 Luna Ultra: The Pocket Camera War Is Here appeared first on Gizmochina.

DJI has been ruling the pocket camera market with almost no real competition. Its Osmo Pocket series has become the go-to tool for vloggers, travelers, and content creators who want smooth, high-quality video in a compact package.

Now, Insta360 wants a share of that market, and its latest attempt at it is the new Insta360 Luna Ultra. Announced recently, the camera directly targets Osmo Pocket users. Here’s everything you need to know about how these two cameras stack up.

What Are These Cameras?

Before diving into the details, let’s quickly explain what each camera is.

The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is DJI’s latest compact gimbal camera. It sits on a small handheld stick with a motorized gimbal that keeps footage smooth and stable, even while you are walking or moving. It has a built-in touchscreen and is designed for people who want to shoot great video without carrying heavy gear.

The Insta360 Luna Ultra is Insta360’s answer to that, and then some. It is the company’s first dedicated gimbal camera made in partnership with the famous camera brand Leica. Insta360 says this camera is not just another pocket camera. It is a step up in almost every way, designed for creators who want more power, more flexibility, and better image quality.

Design and Build

Both cameras follow a similar design. They have a small body with a gimbal camera on top. But the Luna Ultra adds some clever tricks.

The Luna Ultra features a detachable 2-inch OLED touchscreen. What makes this special is that you can remove the screen and use it as a remote control from up to 20 metres away. This is a huge deal for solo creators who film themselves. Instead of walking back to check your framing every few minutes, you can just glance at the remote in your hand. 

The Osmo Pocket 4 also has a 2-inch OLED screen, but it stays fixed to the camera body. It can flip between horizontal and vertical orientations, which is handy for quickly switching between landscape and portrait video.

Both cameras are compact and lightweight enough to slip into a pocket or bag. The Luna Ultra weighs just over 200 grams. Neither camera is bulky, which is the whole point of this category.

Camera Specs and Video Quality

The Luna Ultra is built around a 1-inch sensor that can shoot 8K video at 30 frames per second. It has two lenses: a wide-angle lens with an f/1.8 aperture (which means it performs well in low light) and a dedicated telephoto lens with up to 12x zoom, including 6x lossless zoom. 

It also supports Dolby Vision recording, 10-bit video capture, and up to 14 stops of dynamic range, meaning it captures a lot of detail in both bright and dark areas of a scene.

The Leica partnership also means the Luna Ultra benefits from Leica’s color science, which is known for producing natural, accurate, and beautiful colors.

The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is also a capable camera, built on DJI’s years of experience in this space. It is a strong performer with its own stabilization and image processing technology. However, the standard Osmo Pocket 4 uses a single camera lens, while the Luna Ultra comes with a dual-lens system as standard. 

It is worth noting that DJI is expected to release a Pocket 4 Pro with a dual-lens system in the coming weeks, which would make the comparison more direct. But right now, the Luna Ultra already has the dual-camera advantage.

AI and Tracking Features

The Luna Ultra uses Deep Track 5.0, Insta360’s subject-tracking technology. This lets the camera automatically follow a person or object as they move through the frame. It also supports features like Active Zoom Tracking and Smart Framing, which adjusts the composition of your shot automatically.

The Osmo Pocket 4 uses DJI’s ActiveTrack system, which is also well-regarded and has been refined through several generations of DJI products. Both systems work in a similar way. You point the camera at your subject, tap to lock on, and the camera will keep them in frame as they move.

Moreover, the Luna Ultra has built-in wireless microphone integration, which means it is designed from the ground up to work seamlessly with wireless mics. 

Storage and Battery

The Luna Ultra comes with 47GB of internal storage and supports microSD cards up to 1TB. Insta360 claims the battery can last up to four hours. 

The Pocket 4 has 107GB of actual useable storage, while also supporting a 1TB microSD card. The battery can last about four hours, like Luna Ultra. 

Availability

The Luna Ultra is available right now, priced at $769 in the US, and comes in white or black.

The DJI Osmo Pocket 4, on the other hand, is not officially on sale in the US. In December 2025, the FCC (the US body that regulates electronics) blocked DJI from receiving equipment authorization. This means DJI cannot officially sell new products in the United States. US consumers who want a Pocket 4 would need to buy it through unofficial channels, which means no full warranty or ecosystem support.

This is a massive opening for Insta360. With DJI effectively blocked in the US, the Luna Ultra steps into a market with very little competition at this price point.

Outside the US, the Pocket 4 launched at around £445 in the UK, and DJI still has a strong presence in many global markets. But for US-based creators, the Luna Ultra is clearly the more practical and sensible choice right now.

The post Insta360 Luna Ultra vs DJI Osmo Pocket 4: The Pocket Camera Battle of 2026 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Insta360 has officially pulled the wraps off the Luna Ultra, its first flagship gimbal camera built in partnership with Leica. After months of leaks, teaser videos, and pre-orders popping up at overseas retailers, the wait is finally over. Let’s walk through the specs, features, and price of the Insta360 Luna Ultra.

Insta360 Luna Ultra Specifications

The Luna Ultra runs a dual-sensor setup at its core. The primary shooter packs a 50MP Sony LYT-900 1-inch sensor with an F1.8 aperture and an impressive 14 stops of dynamic range. 

Alongside it sits a 50MP OV50Q telephoto unit on a 1/1.3-inch sensor with an F2.0 aperture, supporting up to 12x zoom (or 6x lossless zoom). Together, they cover five focal lengths, from wide to 240mm equivalent.

Both lenses carry the Leica Summicron branding, which isn’t just a badge. It brings with it Leica’s signature colour science and iconic filters, along with an exclusive Leica watermark option.

The Luna Ultra supports 8K recording

On the video side, the Luna Ultra supports 8K recording with Dolby Vision, 4K at 120fps for slow-motion, and even 1080p at 240fps. There’s also a 4K 60fps PureVideo Mode designed to reduce noise while lifting detail and brightness in tricky lighting. 

For those who shoot professionally, it supports 10-bit I-Log+ ACES workflow, and DaVinci Resolve natively supports Insta360’s I-Log format. The camera also supports Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro, along with built-in timecode for multi-camera sync.

The three-axis gimbal keeps telephoto shots steady, and it has a detachable 2-inch OLED touchscreen that lets you frame and review your shots. 

Insta360 has also packed the Luna Ultra with a handful of tools, especially for solo content creators. For instance, it has Deep Track 5.0 to handle subject tracking, while in-camera face recognition comes with adjustable tone and skin smoothing. A built-in Mini Fill Light helps in low-light environments without needing an extra accessory.

For photography, the camera stitches 200MP panoramic stills and shoots 37MP UltraPhoto shots with AI-enhanced detail. There’s also a Low Frame Photos and Low Frame Collage mode for more creative captures.

Battery and Storage

The Insta360 Luna Ultra has a 1,550mAh battery that delivers up to four hours of run time. You can fast charge it in about 23 minutes. With 47GB of internal storage built in, you’ve got plenty of room to shoot without constantly worrying about running out of space.

Pricing and Availability

The Insta360 Luna Ultra is priced at $769 globally, with regional equivalents set at ¥4,358 in China, 119,800 yen in Japan, and 5,599 HKD in Hong Kong.

It’s worth noting that Insta360’s CEO had previously hinted that Chinese pricing would be significantly lower than overseas figures, something we covered at the time. The official ¥4,358 figure confirms that the local price is indeed friendlier.

The Luna Ultra’s arrival had been building for a while. It first surfaced in teaser form back in April, before detailed promo renders leaked in May and pre-orders quietly opened at European retailers.

The post Insta360 Luna Ultra launches as Leica-engineered gimbal camera with 8K video, dual sensors appeared first on Gizmochina.

Two of China’s biggest camera brands are now taking each other to court in the US. DJI filed not one but two lawsuits against Insta360 just days ago, on or around June 10, 2026. The target is Insta360’s newly launched Luna series of gimbal cameras, which DJI claims bear a little too much resemblance, both visually and technically, to their Osmo Pocket line. Both suits were filed in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.

What exactly is DJI accusing them of?

The first lawsuit is about design patents. DJI is arguing that the Luna cameras look too similar to the Osmo Pocket 3: the slim handheld body, the distinctive neck connecting it to the gimbal arm, the rotating screen, the side ports, the bottom interface. Close enough, DJI says, to genuinely confuse buyers.

The second lawsuit goes deeper, targeting four utility patents covering the actual technology inside the cameras: things like how the gimbal switches between “lock mode” and “follow mode,” the subject tracking system, and how the display integrates with the gimbal in real time. DJI goes as far as saying Insta360 “blatantly copied” these inventions with full knowledge of the patents, which opens the door to enhanced damages for willful infringement.

As remedies, DJI is seeking a permanent ban on Luna product sales in the U.S., along with damages — at minimum a reasonable royalty, and potentially a full disgorgement of profits.

This is also not happening out of nowhere. Earlier in 2026, DJI was already pursuing patent ownership claims in China, tied to inventions allegedly developed by former DJI engineers who later joined Insta360. The tension between these two companies has been building for a while, and this US lawsuit is more of an escalation than a surprise.

Insta360 is expected to fight back. They’ve already signaled intentions to defend vigorously, including potential countersuits over their own IP in pocket gimbals and 360-degree imaging.

The outcome of these cases could influence how both companies approach product development and market strategy going forward, and may set broader precedents for cross-border IP disputes in the imaging industry.

The post DJI is suing Insta360 over striking similarities between Osmo Pocket and Luna series cameras appeared first on Gizmochina.

Insta360’s upcoming Luna Ultra is starting to show up at retailers ahead of its official announcement, suggesting the company’s next flagship pocket gimbal camera may not be far away.

German retailer Foto Erhardt has already opened a €50 reservation program for the device, allowing customers to secure an early place in the queue before launch. The deposit will later be deducted from the final purchase price. According to the retailer, deliveries could begin within roughly a month, although that will ultimately depend on Insta360’s official rollout timeline.

The Luna Ultra is expected to compete directly with DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4P, particularly in the premium compact creator camera segment. Based on early details, Insta360 appears to be aiming much higher this time with a dual-camera setup co-engineered with Leica.

One of the biggest highlights is the use of a 1-inch main sensor paired with a Leica Summicron lens. The camera is also expected to support 8K video recording, 10-bit i-Log color, Leica color profiles, and high-frame-rate 4K recording up to 120fps. Some leaks have even suggested higher slow-motion capabilities in select modes.

Like previous pocket gimbal cameras, stabilization remains a major focus here. The Luna Ultra uses a 3-axis gimbal system alongside what Insta360 calls a triple AI chip for subject tracking and automated framing features such as Deep Track.

Another interesting detail is the detachable remote control with an integrated touchscreen, which could make shooting more flexible for vloggers and solo creators.

While Insta360 has not officially confirmed global pricing yet, the company’s CEO previously hinted at a range between roughly $780 and $960 depending on the bundle configuration. That would place the Luna Ultra firmly in premium territory, especially compared to earlier Osmo Pocket competitors.

The quiet retailer pre-orders strongly suggest the official launch is getting close. If the leaked specifications hold up, the Luna Ultra could become one of the more ambitious compact creator cameras released this year, especially for users who want higher-end video quality without carrying a larger mirrorless setup.

The post Insta360 Luna Ultra is already up for pre-order ahead of launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Insta360 has clarified the pricing situation surrounding its upcoming Luna Ultra camera gimbal after early leaks sparked some concern online over the expected cost.

Earlier, tipster @DigitalChatStation claimed the device would launch at ¥5,299 for the body-only version and ¥6,499 for the full kit. Those numbers quickly drew attention because they would place the Luna Ultra far above typical consumer gimbal pricing in China.

In response, Insta360 CEO Liu Jingkang stepped in to explain that the leaked figures actually referred to overseas pricing converted into RMB. According to him, international pricing is higher due to cost issues, and the Chinese pricing will be noticeably lower. He even joked that the company “wouldn’t dare” sell it at those prices in China.

That clarification comes as interest in the Luna Ultra continues to grow ahead of its official launch. From everything revealed so far, the device seems aimed more at serious creators rather than casual users.

The Luna Ultra combines a three-axis mechanical gimbal with a Leica-branded dual-camera setup. The main camera uses a 1-inch sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, alongside a separate 3x optical telephoto lens. Insta360 is also promising support for 6x lossless zoom, 12x hybrid zoom, 6K 50fps recording, 4K 120fps video, Dolby Vision, and 10-bit i-Log recording.

One of the more interesting design choices is the detachable front handle. It attaches magnetically and can also function as a wireless remote. The module includes a 2-inch OLED display, joystick controls for the gimbal, zoom buttons, and recording controls, allowing creators to control the camera remotely while mounted in different positions.

The timing is also notable because the Luna Ultra is expected to compete directly with products like the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P. Official China pricing still has not been announced, but the CEO’s comments strongly suggest the domestic version will land at a much more aggressive price than the original rumors implied.

The post Insta360 Luna Ultra won’t cost much more than DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4P in China appeared first on Gizmochina.

Insta360’s upcoming Luna Ultra is starting to look a lot more real now. New promotional renders and what appear to be official certification photos of the device have surfaced online, giving a much clearer look at Insta360’s next high-end pocket gimbal camera. And honestly, it seems like the company is aiming well beyond casual vlogging this time.

The biggest change is the camera system itself. The Luna Ultra appears to use a dual-camera setup built around a 1-inch primary sensor paired with a dedicated 3x telephoto lens, reportedly developed alongside Leica. Based on current leaks, the main camera uses an f/1.8 aperture, while the telephoto lens enables around 6x “lossless” zoom and up to 12x hybrid zoom overall. That already puts it much closer to a compact mirrorless-style setup than a typical Pocket camera.

But the hardware design is arguably even more interesting. Images shared by leaker Igor Bogdanov (@Quadro_News) show a detachable front grip that magnetically separates from the body and turns into a wireless remote controller with a 2-inch OLED touchscreen. There is also a joystick for gimbal control, zoom controls, and a dedicated record button. For solo creators, that could end up being genuinely useful instead of just another gimmick accessory.

The Luna Ultra also appears to retain a full three-axis mechanical gimbal, which remains one of the biggest advantages these dedicated pocket cameras still have over smartphones.

On the video side, the rumored specs are fairly serious. Reports mention support for 6K recording at 50fps, 4K at 120fps, 10-bit i-Log, and Dolby Vision. Some leaks even suggest certain slow-motion modes may push beyond that.

Audio seems to be getting proper attention too. The camera is said to support 32-bit audio recording at 48kHz, alongside compatibility with Insta360’s wireless microphone ecosystem. That matters more than people sometimes realize, especially for creators shooting unpredictable outdoor content where clipping and sudden volume spikes can ruin otherwise usable footage.

Current leaks suggest the Luna Ultra could start around ¥5,299 (roughly $780 at the current exchange rate), while larger Creator-style bundles may approach ¥6,499 (around $950). At those prices, Insta360 is no longer competing only with DJI’s Pocket lineup. It’s starting to edge into territory normally occupied by entry-level mirrorless cameras and premium compact shooters from Sony and Canon.

Whether creators are willing to spend that much on a pocket-sized gimbal camera remains to be seen. But based on the hardware alone, Insta360 clearly isn’t trying to make a budget travel gadget here. The Luna Ultra looks much more like a serious creator tool that just happens to fit in your pocket.

The post Insta360 Luna Ultra surfaces in detailed promo images ahead of launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Portable gimbal cameras are starting to get surprisingly expensive, and Insta360’s upcoming Luna Ultra might be the clearest example of that trend yet. New pricing details shared by tipster Digital Chat Station suggest the Luna Ultra could launch at around ¥5,299 (roughly $780 at the current exchange rate) for the standard version, while a larger bundle package may reach ¥6,499 (around $950).

At that point, the device is no longer competing only with DJI’s Pocket lineup. It starts getting dangerously close to actual mirrorless camera territory. According to the tipster, Insta360 is positioning the Luna Ultra more like a compact cinema or creator-focused camera rather than a casual vlogging gadget.

The rumored hardware is fairly ambitious for something this small. Reports point to a 1-inch primary sensor paired with a dedicated 3x telephoto camera, likely sitting around a 70mm equivalent focal length. The main camera is also said to use an f/1.8 aperture, alongside support for around 6x “lossless” zoom and up to 12x hybrid zoom overall.

That setup sounds very similar to the direction DJI is now taking with the Osmo Pocket 4P, which also introduces a telephoto lens for the first time in the Pocket lineup.

But Insta360 seems to be pushing even harder toward premium creator features. One of the more interesting rumored additions is a detachable OLED display that can apparently function as a wireless remote control. There’s also mention of 32-bit audio recording, which would be a pretty major upgrade for creators who care about preserving audio headroom during unpredictable shoots. Leaks have also hinted at Leica-influenced optics and a more modular overall design, though those details still haven’t been officially confirmed.

The timing here is interesting too. DJI is set to officially unveil the Osmo Pocket 4P on May 14 in Cannes, while Insta360’s Luna lineup appears to be surfacing almost simultaneously. So the competition between the two companies is clearly heating up.

A few years ago, compact gimbal cameras were mostly treated as lightweight travel accessories. Now both DJI and Insta360 seem to be trying to turn them into serious filmmaking tools. Whether people are actually willing to spend close to $900 on one is another question entirely.

The post Insta360 Luna Ultra pricing leak raises eyebrows appeared first on Gizmochina.

A fresh leak has given us a clear look at what the Insta360 Luna Ultra might look like before its official debut. A report from Thenewcamera reveals hands-on photos of the upcoming Luna series, along with key specifications pulled from the camera’s on-screen menu.

The Luna lineup, co-developed by Insta360 and Leica, was briefly shown at the NAB Show 2026 recently. However, the reveal was more of a teaser than a full-fledged debut.

The new report, however, shows the device from all angles, along with its software.

Insta360 Luna Series Specifications 

The Luna series is said to use a 1-inch sensor paired with an f/1.8 lens. It also supports 10-bit iLog color and up to 14 stops of dynamic range.

The interface shown in the images lists 8K recording as an option, alongside 4K and 2.7K modes, although it’s not clear if 8K will be fully supported at launch or arrive later through software updates.

What stands out more is the design. The camera appears to use what leaks describe as a “twisted modular design.” The gimbal head can be detached or rotated, suggesting that Insta360 may be experimenting with a more flexible form factor.

There’s also a 2-inch OLED touchscreen that flips and rotates, which should make it easier to shoot selfies or frame shots from awkward angles. Brightness could top out at around 1,000 nits.

The Luna lineup itself is expected to split into two main models. The single-lens variant could be called the Luna Pro. Meanwhile, the dual-lens Insta360 Luna Ultra adds a telephoto module alongside a wide lens for up to 3x optical zoom and 6x lossless zoom. They will go head-to-head with DJI’s Pocket series gimbals.

There’s no official launch date yet, but according to rumors, the gimbals may arrive sometime in May. As DJI waits for regulatory clearance for its Pocket 4, Insta360 may have a short window to make a name for itself in this category.

The post Insta360 Luna Ultra leaks in hands-on images with 8K video and modular design appeared first on Gizmochina.

DJI has dominated the compact gimbal camera space for years. To the point where the category almost feels tied to the brand itself. But that position might finally be facing some real competition, and a short leaked clip is giving us a better idea of what Insta360 has been working on.

A teaser video that’s been floating around on social media shows what appears to be the Insta360 Luna Ultra. It’s not clear where the footage originally came from, or whether this is part of an official teaser. Still, what’s shown lines up closely with earlier leaks, so it’s hard to ignore.

The biggest takeaway here is the design. The Luna Ultra uses a modular setup with a detachable gimbal head. Unlike the Osmo Pocket 4, which sticks to a single, fixed body, this one splits into two parts. The camera module can be separated from the handle, which then acts as a controller.

That opens up some interesting possibilities. You could mount the camera in tighter or more awkward spots while controlling it from a distance. For creators who shoot in less predictable environments, that kind of flexibility could actually make a difference.

This isn’t coming out of nowhere either. Insta360 already previewed the Luna Ultra at NAB 2026, where it drew a fair bit of attention. The lineup is expected to include two versions, the dual-camera Luna Ultra and the single-camera Luna Pro. Current timelines point to a June 2026 launch, though there are hints it could arrive a bit sooner.

Alongside that, Insta360 is also set to introduce the Insta360 Mic Pro, suggesting a broader push to build out a more complete ecosystem around its cameras.

DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4 is still a very refined product. But if this leak is even partly accurate, Insta360 might be approaching the category from a slightly different angle. And that alone makes things interesting.

The post Insta360 Luna Ultra leaked video shows detachable gimbal head appeared first on Gizmochina.

It didn’t take long for Insta360’s Luna to step out of the shadows. Just days after the company teased the device, a full specs leak has surfaced on X. The reveal comes on the heels of DJI unveiling its Osmo Pocket 4 gimbal camera. 

According to the leak, the Insta360 Luna is built around a dual-camera system with relatively large sensors. The main wide-angle camera uses a 1-inch CMOS sensor with an 18mm equivalent focal length and f/2.0 aperture, while the secondary telephoto camera uses a 1/1.3-inch sensor at 70mm equivalent with an f/2.8 aperture.

The hardware combo, as per the leak, gives Luna a 1–6x “lossless” zoom system; the optical caps at 3.9x. In comparison, DJI claims 2x lossless zoom for the new Osmo Pocket 4. 

As for video performance, the leak mentions support for 4K recording at up to 240fps, along with 10-bit color and Dolby Vision HDR. There’s also Leica color tuning and full-chain calibration, and Deep Track 3.0 for AI-enchanced subject tracking. 

Insta360 Luna will have a detachable gimbal head

Another notable detail is simultaneous dual-lens recording. The wide and telephoto cameras can apparently shoot at the same time, opening up options for multi-angle content without needing a second device.

Then there’s the design. Earlier speculation hinted at a detachable camera module, and this leak backs that up with what’s described as a “twist modular” system. That is, you will be able to detach the gimbal head from the handle.

The rest of the package is fairly stacked as well. It’s revealed to have a 3-axis mechanical gimbal, AI-assisted stabilization, a 2-inch rotatable OLED touchscreen with 1000 nits brightness, and support for vertical shooting. 

The battery life is rated at around 150 to 180 minutes from a 1500mAh cell, all within a body expected to weigh under 150 grams.

Interestingly, some YouTube creators already have early units, and first-look videos are starting to surface. As a result, we can expect a launch may not be that far off.

The post Insta360 Luna beats the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 on zoom, features a detachable gimbal head: Leak appeared first on Gizmochina.

The pocket gimbal camera space is starting to get interesting again. Not long after DJI unveiled the Osmo Pocket 4 and teased the dual-camera Osmo Pocket 4 Pro, it looks like Insta360 is already lining up a response.

The company recently shared a pixelated teaser video of something called the Insta360 Luna Ultra on X, along with a pretty direct caption: “Was that it…?” It doesn’t take much reading between the lines to see that as a jab at DJI’s latest launch.

Leaker Igor Bogdanov also revealed a real-world image, focusing on the joint between the camera and the gimbal. The caption simply asked, “Does it separate?” That one line has been enough to kick off speculation about a possible detachable design.

If that turns out to be true, it could be a fairly big shift. Current pocket gimbal cameras are usually fixed units, so being able to detach the camera module opens up a few different ways to use it. Think remote shooting, mounting it in tighter spots, or even wearing it, similar to Insta360’s smaller cameras.

There’s also talk of 6x optical zoom, which, if accurate, would be a notable jump over the 3x zoom that DJI’s Pocket 4 Pro is expected to offer. That alone could make a difference for creators who shoot a lot of distant subjects or want more flexibility without relying on digital zoom.

The timing of the teaser and the tone Insta360 is using suggest it’s not just a minor update. The company seems to be positioning the Luna Ultra as something a bit more experimental, or at least more flexible than the Osmo Pocket 4.

If even part of these leaks hold up, the competition between Insta360 and DJI could get a lot more interesting in the coming weeks.
