For a long time, the action camera market felt fairly predictable. Year after year, new models would arrive with slight bumps in resolution or frame rates, but the core experience remained largely the same. Now that we are in 2026, the industry has shifted its focus. Instead of just chasing higher numbers on a spec sheet, manufacturers are addressing the actual pain points of recording video on the go. We are seeing the introduction of variable apertures, better computational processing, and more practical mounting systems.

Whether you are recording a cycling route, documenting a family trip, or just want a hands-free way to capture your daily routine, the current lineup of cameras offers distinct approaches to solving these problems. Here is a look at the best action cameras available in 2026.

DJI Osmo Action 6

DJI has been steadily iterating on its action camera line, and the Osmo Action 6 brings a significant hardware change: a variable aperture. Ranging from f/2.0 to f/4.0, this allows the camera to physically adjust to different lighting conditions. In practical terms, this means you can get better light intake in dim environments at f/2.0, or stop down to f/4.0 in bright sunlight to retain detail without overexposing the shot.

The camera is built around a new 1/1.1-inch square sensor. The square format is particularly useful for creators who need to export video for both traditional widescreen platforms (like YouTube) and vertical platforms (like TikTok or Instagram Reels). You can shoot once in the 4K Custom mode and crop your preferred aspect ratio later.

DJI also included 50GB of built-in storage, which serves as a helpful safety net if you forget your microSD card, along with a battery rated for up to four hours of use in standard conditions.

Insta360 Ace Pro 2

Insta360 has taken a different route with the Ace Pro 2, focusing heavily on processing power and sensor resolution. Co-engineered with Leica, the camera features a 1/1.3-inch sensor capable of recording 8K video at 30 frames per second. While 8K might be more resolution than most people currently need, it offers a lot of flexibility for cropping and reframing in post-production.

What makes the Ace Pro 2 stand out is its dual-chip architecture. It uses a dedicated imaging chip alongside a 5nm AI chip to handle noise reduction and image processing. This setup is especially noticeable in the PureVideo low-light mode, which cleans up grainy footage quite effectively.

The hardware design also includes a 2.5-inch flip touchscreen and an integrated wind guard, which helps reduce audio clipping when you are moving at higher speeds.

GoPro Hero 13 Black

GoPro has maintained its familiar form factor with the Hero 13 Black, but it has heavily expanded its lens ecosystem. The camera introduces the HB-Series lenses, which the camera automatically detects when attached, adjusting its settings accordingly.

You can swap between a Macro Lens Mod for close-ups, an Ultra Wide Lens Mod for a broader field of view, or an Anamorphic Lens Mod if you prefer a cinematic 21:9 aspect ratio with traditional lens flares.

Internally, it uses a 27-megapixel 1/1.9-inch CMOS sensor that shoots 5.3K video at 60fps. GoPro has also added a Burst Slo-Mo feature, allowing you to capture 400fps at 720p for short 15-second bursts.

To support these features, the Hero 13 Black uses a 1900mAh Enduro battery for improved efficiency, and the company has also integrated a magnetic mounting system, making it much easier to move the camera between different mounts without dealing with thumbscrews.

Akaso Brave 8

Not everyone needs a flagship camera, especially if it is going to be subjected to rough conditions where it might get damaged. The Akaso Brave 8 fills the gap for users who want reliable performance without the premium price tag.

It is equipped with a 1/2-inch CMOS sensor that records 4K video at 60fps and takes 48-megapixel still photos. The camera includes dual color screens, which makes framing shots easier if you are recording yourself.

It also features Akaso’s SuperSmooth in-app stabilization and AI Face Metering to help keep subjects properly exposed. While it may lack the advanced computational features of the more expensive models, it provides a very solid baseline experience for everyday use.

Insta360 Go Ultra

If traditional action cameras feel too bulky, the Insta360 Go Ultra is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible. Weighing just 53 grams, the standalone camera unit is small enough to clip to a hat or wear on a magnetic pendant under your shirt. Despite its size, it houses a 1/1.28-inch sensor and shoots 4K video at 60fps.

The Go Ultra relies on an Ambient Light Sensor to help calibrate colors and reduce flickering in artificial light. Because the camera itself is so small, battery life is limited to about 70 minutes.

However, it comes with the Action Pod, a housing with a 2.5-inch flip screen that charges the camera and extends the total runtime to roughly 200 minutes. It is an excellent choice for point-of-view recording where a standard camera would be too heavy.

DJI Osmo Nano

DJI’s answer to the ultra-compact market is the Osmo Nano. It shares a similar philosophy with the Go Ultra, weighing in at 52 grams and designed for wearable, hands-free recording. It features a 1/1.3-inch sensor, 4K/60fps recording, and a wide 143-degree field of view.

The Osmo Nano differentiates itself with its color science, supporting 10-bit D-Log M, which gives video editors more room to color grade their footage. It also features a dual-sided magnetic design, allowing you to mount it facing forward or backward easily.

The camera pairs with a Multifunctional Vision Dock that provides a screen for live viewing, remote control, and fast charging. Furthermore, it supports direct connection to DJI’s wireless microphones, which is a significant advantage if you want clear audio without carrying a separate receiver.

The post The Best Action Cameras of 2026 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Following the launch of the Luna Ultra earlier this year, Insta360 announced a second gimbal camera, called the Luna Pro. It drops the Ultra’s second lens for a single 1-inch sensor, and Insta360 is calling it the industry’s first 4K vertical shooting gimbal camera. It’s priced at 3,399 yuan (~$505).

The vertical shoot claim comes down to resolution. Insta360 says the Luna Pro captures 8K footage while holding onto 4K resolution when the camera is turned vertical. This matters because most gimbal cameras lose resolution the moment they switch orientation. In comparison, DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4 caps out at 3K in vertical mode, and even the higher-end Osmo Pocket 4P doesn’t clear that ceiling. 

Insta360 Luna Pro Specifications

The Luna Pro uses a Sony 1-inch sensor to capture 4K video at 30fps in a 9:16 frame. It also has AI tracking and three-axis stabilization to help keep subjects properly framed when you’re shooting vertically.

The camera uses a Leica Summicron F1.8 lens, the same optical partner used on the Luna Ultra, and is rated for up to 14 stops of dynamic range. It supports up to 4x zoom, with the first 2x being lossless. Beyond that, an onboard AI model takes over image processing to help maintain image quality.

For color, the Luna Pro includes three Leica presets — Chrome, Natural, and Vivid — along with six cinematic filters. You can also share your color settings with someone else via a QR code instead of copying them manually.

For portraits, the camera can detect facial contours and skin texture in real time, smoothing skin while preserving facial details. You can adjust beauty intensity, smoothing, and brightening separately.

It also has a built-in color temperature sensor that measures the surrounding light and automatically adjusts the white balance. Insta360 says this helps keep skin tones consistent when moving between warm indoor lighting and daylight. The company has also added a multi-skin-tone AI algorithm designed to avoid the washed-out look that can come from applying the same whitening effect to different skin tones.

Like the Luna Ultra, the Luna Pro has a detachable touchscreen remote that can be used as a wireless controller. It supports image transmission from up to 20 meters away and provides full camera control, while a built-in wireless microphone can record audio from a distance.

You also get an optional head-tracking accessory that can track the user’s head movements and move the gimbal accordingly, similar to the POV Head Tracker available for the Luna Ultra.

The Luna Pro has the same 1,550mAh battery capacity as its larger sibling and is rated for up to four hours of shooting. Fast charging can take it to 80% in 23 minutes, while 47GB of built-in storage is included.

The post Insta360 Luna Pro launches with 4K vertical shooting and a head-tracking mode appeared first on Gizmochina.

The 360 camera market just had its biggest week of the year. Insta360 launched the X6 on Wednesday, and DJI followed less than a day later with the Osmo 360 II. Both replace flagship models that have been at the top of the category, and both bring noticeable improvements in image quality.

This doesn’t mean you should ignore the older models, though. If you’re on a tighter budget, the previous-generation cameras are still very capable and should be available at a discount too.

The biggest advantage of a 360 camera is simple; you don’t have to worry about framing while recording. Just hold the camera up, hit record, and choose the best angle later on your phone or laptop. You can capture everything around you and decide what the final shot should look like afterward.

Here are the best 360 cameras for panoramic shots that you can get in 2026. 

Insta360 X6

The X6 is now Insta360’s flagship offering, and it’s a major upgrade over the X5 rather than a small refresh. It uses two Sony 1/1.1-inch square sensors that deliver full 1-inch-equivalent 360 imaging. The sensors also offer 33% more area than those in the X5 and can capture much more light for brighter shots. 

The X6 can record 8K video at 50fps, up from the X5’s 30fps at 8K, and can also capture 120MP photos. For processing, it has a triple-chip system built around an 8-core, 4nm processor. Insta360 says the X6 has about five times the computing power of the X5.

Other features include 10-bit color, Dolby Vision, an improved PureVideo low-light mode, and the new Replaceable Lenses 2.0 system. It also has 47GB of usable internal storage, which is a first for the X series and means you don’t always need a memory card.

The camera uses a 2,600mAh battery and is rated for up to 140 minutes of continuous 8K recording. The X6 starts at $699.99 for the Standard Bundle and $799.99 for the Essentials Bundle in the US. That’s $150 more than the X5’s starting price.

Insta360 X5

If $699.99 is too much, the X5 is still a very good option. It uses two 1/1.28-inch sensors and can record 8K video at 30fps while capturing 72MP photos. You also get Insta360’s PureVideo low-light mode, replaceable lenses, a built-in wind guard, and waterproofing down to 49 feet without a case.

The X6 has the advantage in sensor size, frame rate, and processing power. But for travel videos, vlogging, and everyday action footage, the X5 still does a good job.

At $549.99, it also offers better value now that the X6 is available. Insta360 also sells a BMW Motorrad edition of the X5 aimed at motorcycle riders. It comes with features such as handlebar controls and an extended battery.

DJI Osmo 360 II

DJI responded to Insta360 less than a day later with the Osmo 360 II. The camera uses the same 1/1.1-inch sensor class as the original Osmo 360 but increases 8K panoramic video to 60fps. That gives it a slight advantage over the X6’s 8K50 recording.

DJI has also increased dynamic range to 14.5 stops in D-Log M, compared with 13.5 stops on the original model. The camera still captures 120MP shots, but the II adds HDR and RAW photo capture.

The battery is larger at 2,150mAh, compared with 1,950mAh on the first model. It also supports 27W USB-C fast charging. Another important upgrade is user-replaceable lenses. 

The Osmo 360 II also has NFC for quick pairing and 105GB of internal storage, which is carried over from the original model. In China, the standard bundle costs around 3,299 yuan, or roughly $460.

The biggest problem right now is availability. DJI has only confirmed the China launch so far, and there is no listing for the Osmo 360 II on DJI’s US store. With the restrictions affecting DJI products in the US, it isn’t clear when the camera will officially arrive there.

DJI Osmo 360

The original Osmo 360 is still available and is now cheaper in markets where the II has launched. It offers dual 1-inch square sensors, 8K video at 50fps, 13.5 stops of dynamic range, and up to 100 minutes of 8K recording on one charge.

The camera also uses the same battery and magnetic mounting system as the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro. That is useful if you already own DJI action-camera accessories.

The original Osmo 360 is also officially available in the US, making it the more practical DJI option for American buyers right now. It costs around $549.99.

GoPro MAX2

GoPro stayed out of the 360 camera race for years while Insta360 and DJI moved ahead. The company finally returned with the MAX2 last year.

GoPro calls it the only “True 8K” 360 camera, based on how it calculates resolution. The MAX2 records 8K 360 video, as well as 5.6K at 60fps and 4K at 100fps. Its biggest advantage over the newer Insta360 and DJI models is built-in GPS.

The MAX2 also brings back GoPro’s replaceable lens system and uses a 1,960mAh Enduro battery designed to work in cold weather. It’s rugged, waterproof, and supports 16 mounting accessories made specifically for the camera. At $499.99, it has the lowest starting price among the flagship-level 360 cameras on this list.

The MAX2 has also expanded into markets such as India, where it launched alongside GoPro’s new AI-powered gimbal.

Ricoh Theta X

Not everyone shooting 360 content needs video, and for stills-first work like real estate listings and virtual tours, the Ricoh Theta X is the camera most professionals reach for. It pairs dual 48MP sensors to produce spherical stills at up to 60MP, or 11K resolution, well beyond what any of the action-camera-style 360 shooters above offer for photos. The video tops out at 5.7K at 30fps.

What sets the Theta X apart is how it’s built to be used on its own. It has a 2.25-inch color touchscreen that lets you preview shots, adjust settings, and review captures without pulling out your phone, and it’s the first Theta model with an interchangeable battery and a microSD card slot instead of fixed internal storage. 

It also has built-in GPS that geotags your shots automatically, and the camera runs on Android, so it accepts third-party plug-ins for things like automatic face blurring or wireless livestreaming. 

Ricoh also added HDR RAW capture in DNG format for professionals who edit files afterward instead of working from flattened JPEGs. Its pricing starts at $649.

How to pick the right 360 camera

To get the best 360 camera for your needs, start with your budget and think about what you plan to shoot. If you want the best overall image quality and don’t mind spending $699.99 or more, the Insta360 X6 is the easiest recommendation. The DJI Osmo 360 II is also very competitive on paper, especially with its 8K60 recording, but its availability is still limited.

If you want to save money, the Insta360 X5 and original DJI Osmo 360 are still strong choices. Both can record 8K video and offer enough quality for travel, vlogging, and everyday shooting.

The GoPro MAX2 is the cheapest flagship-level option. It’s also the obvious choice if built-in GPS is important to you or you’re already using other GoPro products. And if you’re shooting stills for real estate rather than video, skip the action-camera crowd entirely and go with the Theta X.

The post Best 360 Cameras in 2026: Top Panoramic Cameras You Can Buy appeared first on Gizmochina.

New leaks are spilling more details on the Insta360’s upcoming X6 action camera before its official debut. We’ve already covered the camera’s redesign, specs, and pricing leaks as well as its FCC certification, and now its actual retail packaging has also surfaced online, confirming several details in the process.

Leaker Igor Bogdanov shared the first photo of the X6’s official box. It states that the camera can record 8K at 30 frames per second in full 360-degree mode for up to 140 minutes on a single charge. The packaging also confirms two features mentioned in earlier leaks: a low-light mode called PureVideo, and a new swappable lens system called Replaceable Lenses 2.0.

Separately, a Reddit user going by FunnySushi1738 posted several hands-on photos of the camera. The images, which have already been shared widely elsewhere without credit, place the X6 next to the older Insta360 model and GoPro’s now-discontinued Max 360 camera. The comparison shows the X6 is a bit taller than the GoPro but shorter and wider than its own predecessor, backing up earlier reports of a more compact body.

The same Reddit post also shows the back of the retail box, which lists the accessories included in the bundle. Among them is a 2,600 mAh battery, referred to as the Extra Xtreme battery.

Insta360 is reportedly set to launch the X6 on July 30. Based on pricing rumors circulating before this leak, the bundle shown in these images could cost around €789, or roughly $897. A version without the extra accessories is expected to sell for about €589 (around $670) in Europe.

With the packaging now public and a launch date reportedly just days away, official confirmation of these specs and pricing should not be far off.

The post Insta360 X6 retail box leak reveals battery life, accessories, and price ahead of launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Just days after leaked images gave us our first look at the upcoming Insta360 X6, a fresh report has now revealed full specifications of the handheld camera. According to details shared by WinFuture, the X6 will be smaller than the X5 but comes with several hardware upgrades.

Insta360 X6 Specifications

Starting with the camera itself, the X6 is said to feature two 1/1.1-inch image sensors, each rated at 42MP. Combined, they produce 360-degree photos of up to 120MP. The camera also supports 10-bit color in 360 mode, along with Dolby Vision and I-Log color profiles. It also gets an updated Adaptive Tone 2.0 feature for better exposure in difficult lighting.

As for videos, the camera can record 360-degree films at up to 8K resolution and 50 frames per second. What’s notable about this frame rate is that it allows footage to be played back at half speed for smooth slow-motion clips, which should be a big win for action and sports creators. 

In its PureVideo 360 mode, the camera can also shoot 8K at 30fps, while switching to single-lens mode unlocks 5K video at 60fps or 4K video at a very high 120fps. Insta360 is also promising 11K timelapse recording in full 360-degree mode.

For digital controls, the camera has an OLED touchscreen with a brightness of up to 1200 nits. Compared to the predecessor, the X6 has a bigger 2600mAh battery that is said to offer up to 233 minutes of recording.

The body measures about 10cm in length, 5cm in width, and under 4cm in thickness, and weighs around 195 grams. As we mentioned in our previous report, pricing is expected to go up. The base model is likely to cost around €700 in Europe, while the Essentials bundle may cost close to €800.

Insta360 has not confirmed an official launch date. More details are expected soon.

The post Insta360 X6 specs leaks, 8K 360° video, 120MP photos and a bigger battery expected appeared first on Gizmochina.

After getting the FCC approval earlier this week, the upcoming Insta360 X6 has revealed itself in the first set of images. The leak comes from Roland Quandt of WinFuture, who spotted the action camera listed at a retailer. A retail listing at this stage typically confirms that a launch announcement is close.

Insta360 X5 Specifications

A big change for the new model seems to be the design. Instead of the longer body seen on earlier models, the X6 now has a shorter, more compact shape that looks closer to a traditional action camera. 

The general layout remains largely unchanged. The camera still uses two lenses, one on the front and one on the back, in a curved fisheye lens to capture 360-degree footage. 

The X6 also retains the small screen on the side of the device, though it has been redesigned with slightly different rounded edges compared to previous versions. Based on past models, this screen is likely to handle basic settings and let users preview what they are recording before and after a shot.

In terms of performance, the action camera is said to cap out at 8K 50 frames per second in full 360-degree mode. This is an improvement over the X5, which is limited to 8K at 30 frames per second in the same mode. 

Lucky for us, even pricing is out for both standard and combo. The base Insta360 X6 is expected to start at around €689 without any extra accessories, while the more complete “Essentials Bundle” could cost about €789. 

No official release date has been confirmed at this stage. However, given that retail listings have already surfaced, further details and an official announcement may follow in the coming weeks. We will continue to update this story as more information becomes available.

The post Insta360 X6 first images confirm redesign, specs, and price leak too appeared first on Gizmochina.

Action camera fans who love shooting 360-degree footage might have something exciting on the horizon. Insta360’s upcoming X6 has just cleared a major regulatory hurdle in the US, which usually means a global launch isn’t far off.

The X6 recently earned FCC certification under the model number CINSABXA. The paperwork includes details on Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and antennas, suggesting the process is basically wrapped up. This follows similar approvals in places like the UAE and India, which lines up with how Insta360 typically rolls out new cameras. Most people in the know are expecting an official announcement and release sometime between late August and September 2026, pretty much following the same rhythm as their previous X-series models.

Full specs are still under wraps, but the leaks look promising. The X6 is rumored to step up to a larger 1-inch or 1/1.28-inch CMOS sensor, which could let it shoot 8K 60fps 360-degree video, an upgrade from the X5. There’s talk of better 10-bit color depth and improved HDR, which should translate to richer, more vibrant footage, especially in tricky low-light or nighttime situations. That kind of jump would be huge for creators making immersive content for social media, VR, or pro projects.

Pricing is expected to land somewhere between $549 and $599 (roughly 3,725 to 4,065 RMB). That keeps it in the premium 360-camera category while still feeling competitive. Insta360 has built a strong reputation for making powerful yet user-friendly panoramic cameras, so the X6 will likely keep the things people love, like excellent stabilization, waterproofing, and a smooth app experience, while focusing on improving image quality.

The post Insta360 X6 360-degree camera nears launch with FCC approval appeared first on Gizmochina.

Your smartphone is probably the camera you use the most, but it may not always be the best device to shoot with while travelling. A sudden downpour or a bike ride through rough trails, and your smartphone camera could show its limitation. That’s where action cameras and pocket gimbals step in.

Action cameras are made for adventure and ruggedness, while pocket gimbals are great for travel vlogging. If you’re looking to upgrade your content creation setup or just want better videos on your next trip, here are the best action cameras and pocket gimbals you can check out in 2026.

Action camera or pocket gimbal: Which one should you buy?

Before you pick one, think about how you plan to use it. If your videos involve hiking, biking, water sports, or any activity where your camera could take a beating, an action camera is the way to go.

Action cameras are compact, rugged, waterproof, and built to keep recording in places where your phone would rather stay in your pocket.

Pocket gimbals, on the other hand, are a better fit for travel vloggers, content creators, and anyone who enjoys filming people or places. Their built-in mechanical stabilisation delivers smoother footage than most smartphones. Some pocket gimbals even offer advanced subject tracking, which means they are best for solo vlogging.

8 best action cameras & pocket gimbals to buy

DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro

If you want one camera that can do just about everything well, then it’s hard to beat the new DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro.

It supports 4K recording at up to 120fps for smooth slow-motion videos and gets a bright dual OLED touchscreen that’s easy to use outdoors. It also offers a reliable stabilisation and long battery life.

Additionally, it gets a magnetic quick-release system that makes swapping mounts effortless, while its low-light performance is among the best in its class. So, whether you’re recording a motorcycle ride, a trekking expedition, or your next holiday trip, the Osmo Action 5 Pro is a great pick.

GoPro Mission 1 Pro

If money isn’t a concern and you simply want the best image quality from an action camera, the GoPro Mission 1 Pro is probably the right a safe pick. It’s the company’s most premium action camera yet and features a 1-inch sensor, which captures more light than traditional action cameras.

It also supports 8K video recording at 60FPS, which none of the action cameras on this list offer. You also get advanced stabilisation and GoPro’s rugged and waterproof design.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4

If you don’t plan to capture fast-paced action and mainly shoot vlogs or travel videos, the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is worth considering. It features a three-axis mechanical gimbal that keeps videos smooth and stable, even while you’re walking.

It also gets a larger sensor that performs better in low light, along with a rotating touchscreen that lets you switch between landscape and portrait recording in seconds.

You also get subject tracking, so the camera follows you automatically and keeps you in the frame, making it a great option for solo creators.

Insta360 Luna Ultra

The Luna Ultra is the latest pocket gimbal from Insta360 and sits at the top of the company’s lineup. It features a Micro Four Thirds sensor, which is much larger than what you’ll find on most action cameras and pocket gimbals. The larger sensor captures more light, resulting in better low-light performance and more detailed videos.

The Luna Ultra also supports AI tracking and interchangeable lenses, which means you get more flexibility while shooting. Despite all that, it’s still compact enough to carry in your pocket. It’s a great fit for travel creators and anyone who prefers image quality over extreme durability.

Insta360 X5

The Insta360 X5 is different from a regular action camera because it records everything around you with its dual lenses.That said, you can choose your framing later during editing. Preety cool, right?

Additionally, it also removes the selfie stick from your videos, creating a floating camera effect that makes your footage look cinematic. That’s one of the reasons it’s so popular among bikers, cyclists, and travel creators.

The action camera also supports up to 8K video recording and can record continuously for up to three hours, making it reliable for long rides and road trips.

GoPro HERO13 Black

GoPro continues to be the name most people associate with action cameras, and the HERO13 Black shows why. To start off, it supports a crisp 5.3K video recording, and also gets support for HB-Series lenses. What this means is that you can swap between ultra-wide, macro, or anamorphic lenses depending on what you’re shooting.

Since it’s an action camera, it’s also waterproof at up to 10 metres without a case. That said, if you already own GoPro batteries or accessories, upgrading to the latest HERO makes sense.

Insta360 Ace Pro 2

If your priority is video quality above everything else, the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 is a great pocket gimbal. It’s co-engineered with Leica, which means you get vibrant colours, impressive dynamic range, and detailed footage straight out of the camera.

It also gets a flip-up screen and a large 1/1.3” sensor that makes even nighttime videos look great.

AKASO EK7000

If you’re buying your first action camera or don’t want to spend too much, the AKASO EK7000 is a solid option to start with. It records videos in 4K, comes with a waterproof case, supports Wi-Fi, and includes plenty of mounts in the box, so you don’t have to buy extra accessories later. 

While it doesn’t match DJI or GoPro in terms of video quality or stabilisation, it’s more than enough for capturing your holiday trips. Not to mention, it’s one of the best sellers on Amazon.

Are action cameras better than smartphones?

Action cameras are better for movement-heavy shooting like sports and travel because they offer stronger stabilisation and tougher builds. Smartphones still win for daily use and convenience, but they can’t match the stability and durability of action cameras.

What’s the best budget action camera? 

AKASO EK7000 is the best budget action camera you can get, as it supports 4K video recording, a reliable stabilisation, and a rugged body. It is not very advanced in terms of features, but gets the job done for first-time users.

What’s the best overall action camera? 

DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro is the best overall action camera offering a great price to value ratio. It offers a mix of great stabilisation, crisp and smooth 4K 120fps video, and magnetic quick-release system.

What’s the best overall pocket gimbal?

Insta360 Ace Pro 2 is the best overall pocket gimbal. It features a larger sensor for improved dynamic range, 3-axis mechanical stabilisation, and AI-assisted subject tracking for smooth and stable footage.

What’s the best premium action camera? 

GoPro Mission 1 Pro is the best premium action camera you can buy on the market, as it gets a large 1-inch sensor with high-bitrate video recording, advanced HDR processing, and support for up to 8K 60FPS capture.

What’s the best premium pocket gimbal? 

The Insta360 Luna Ultra is the best premium pocket gimbal. It features a large sensor with multi-axis mechanical stabilisation, enhanced low-light capture, and cinematic motion smoothing for professional-grade videos.

Which action camera has the best video quality? 

GoPro Mission 1 Pro currently has the best video quality, with high bitrate, superior dynamic range, better colour accuracy, and advanced stabilisation.

So, what’s your pick for your next adventure: an action camera or a pocket gimbal? Let us know in the comments below.

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.

he rivalry between DJI and Insta360 has officially turned into a full-blown patent battle in the US. Just days after Insta360 launched its new Luna Ultra, DJI slapped them with lawsuits, and Insta360 quickly fired back with countersuits of their own. It’s a classic tit-for-tat fight that shows just how high the stakes are in the pocket gimbal and vlogging camera world right now.

Insta360 unveiled the Luna Ultra on June 10, 2026, as a premium dual-lens gimbal camera co-developed with Leica. It boasts 8K video recording, 4K 120fps slow-motion recording, a detachable OLED touchscreen, and seriously advanced stabilization. But on the very same day, DJI filed two lawsuits in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against Insta360. DJI claims the Luna series infringes on their design and utility patents related to the Osmo Pocket lineup. They’re asking for a permanent ban on sales in the US, plus damages.

Insta360 didn’t waste any time. On June 12, they hit back with two countersuits, accusing DJI of infringing on five of their own utility patents. These cover things like gimbal stabilization, directional control, smooth camera stabilization, telemetry overlay, and panoramic video stabilization. According to Insta360, these technologies show up in many DJI products, including the Osmo Pocket series, Ronin/RS gimbals, Osmo Mobile, and Osmo 360 cameras.

Insta360’s founder, JK Liu, put out a strong statement: “At Insta360, we prefer to let our products do the talking. But we are not afraid of a legal battle when challenged. We are fully committed to protecting our innovations and will take decisive action to defend our intellectual property from infringement.” He pointed out that the Luna Ultra came from years of their own R&D starting back in 2020, building on earlier products like the ONE R, Link Series, and Flow gimbals — not by copying anyone. Liu even suggested DJI’s same-day lawsuit showed “fear of competition from a highly competitive product.”

Insta360 has firmly rejected DJI’s claims. The Luna Ultra, priced around $770, reportedly got off to a strong start, becoming a top seller in Amazon’s camcorder category in the US during its first day. The company sees it as a fresh, innovative option in the stabilized vlogging space thanks to its dual lenses and modular design.

This fight builds on previous patent disputes the two companies had in China. As the cases move forward in Texas, a hotspot for IP battles, the outcome could affect product availability and shape how both brands approach innovation going forward.

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.

Insta360 has teased a new wireless mic, and it’s not exactly trying to stay low-key. The company showed off the Insta360 Mic Pro at NAB Show 2026 in Las Vegas, and it looks like it’s going in a very different direction compared to last year’s Mic Air. This one leans more into personality, not just pure function.

The first thing that stands out is the design. Each transmitter has a round color E-Ink display on the front, which you can customize with pretty much anything, logos, text, emojis, even photos. It’s a small touch, but it changes how the mic shows up on camera.

Instead of trying to hide it, Insta360 is basically saying, make it part of the shot. Because it’s E-Ink, it doesn’t drain much battery and should stay visible even in bright conditions.

Underneath all that, it’s still meant to be a proper upgrade on the audio side. The Mic Pro uses a three-mic array along with AI-based noise reduction, powered by an onboard NPU. There’s also onboard recording built into the transmitter, which acts as a backup in case something goes wrong with the wireless feed. That’s pretty standard for pro-level mics now, but still important.

The Mic Pro supports direct connection to compatible Insta360 cameras, so in some cases you won’t even need a receiver. That should make things easier for quick shoots, especially if you’re using a gimbal or moving around a lot.

Details like battery life, pricing, and full specs are still under wraps. Insta360 just says it’s coming later in 2026. But even from this early look, the Mic Pro feels like Insta360 trying to stand out in a category that’s starting to feel a bit predictable. Whether people actually want a customizable mic on camera is another question, but it’s definitely different.

The post Insta360 Mic Pro showcased with customizable E-Ink display, 3-mic setup with AI noise reduction 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.

The post Insta360 Luna Ultra surfaces in teaser video and a real-world image with surprising detail appeared first on Gizmochina.

Insta360 appears to be working on a new compact vlogging camera, and early details suggest it could take a slightly different approach from DJI’s Osmo Pocket lineup.

The device, reportedly called the Insta360 Luna, has been referenced in recent leaks and patent filings. At the company’s annual conference, CEO Liu Jingkang reportedly confirmed that a vlogging-focused camera is in development and said it would launch before July 2026. That likely puts the release window somewhere between March and June, though no exact date has been shared yet.

What makes the Luna interesting is its rumored dual-lens setup. Instead of relying on a single wide sensor and digital crop, the Luna is said to feature two distinct lenses: a standard wide (1x) camera and a dedicated 3x optical telephoto module. If accurate, that would allow users to switch focal lengths without losing image quality, something pocket gimbal cameras haven’t traditionally prioritized.

Based on patent sketches and early reports, the zoom transition could be controlled through a small joystick or touchscreen gestures on a fold-out display. The concept feels closer to smartphone-style zoom switching than the fixed wide-angle approach most pocket cameras use.

Leaks also point to an emphasis on image processing. Reports suggest the Luna may use a dual-stage system, where initial image enhancement happens before final processing. In practical terms, that could mean better noise handling and improved dynamic range, particularly in mixed or low lighting. Of course, how much difference that makes will depend on sensor size and real-world tuning.

For context, the current DJI Osmo Pocket 3 remains one of the most popular compact gimbal cameras in this space. There are also rumors that DJI is preparing an upgraded model with dual cameras, which could arrive before Insta360’s launch window closes.

Whether you’re shooting TikToks, streaming workouts, or capturing pet antics, the latest generation of affordable mobile gimbals delivers professional-level tracking, stabilization, and lighting, at prices that won’t blow your budget.

If you’re planning to invest in one, aim for the $100–$150 range. That sweet spot brings significant upgrades in tracking accuracy, mechanical stability, and overall build quality. For content creators who rely on these tools day in and day out, spending a little more upfront often gets you the best bang for your buck.

Here’s a deep dive into the best models under $150, with options that balance software intelligence, mechanical fluidity, and everyday usability.

It boasts ActiveTrack 7.0 for intelligent, persistent subject tracking and a multifunctional module that supports mic pairing, lighting, and gesture detection, perfect for solo creators.

This is a serious mobile tool for creators who want intelligent tracking and pro features in a pocketable rig.

The built-in 226 lux fill light and compact remote transform it into a solo creator’s dream, and intuitive tilt/pan wrist gestures unlock new ways to shoot without touching the gimbal. It doesn’t quite match the AI prowess of pricier gimbals, but for casual TikTok, vlog, or travel shots, it more than gets the job done.

Price: $99

Hohem iSteady M7

While the price is slightly above the sub-$150 range, the iSteady M7 stands out for its high payload capacity of 500g, which accommodates phones with lenses and microphones. It features a 193mm extension pole, 360° pan rotation, and a large tilt range.

Reliable tracking remains locked on, even when the subject is briefly obscured, and the 360° infinite pan rotation allows for cinematic sweeping shots. It is balanced for all-day shoots with a 9-hour battery and a 400g payload capacity.

The post The Best Bang-for-Buck Mobile Gimbals for Content Creators in 2025 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Insta360 is rolling out a new instant-print grip for the Ace Pro 2 tomorrow — a day before DJI’s launch of the Osmo Action 6 — and it’s easily one of the more unusual accessories we’ve seen for an action camera.

A short teaser posted by Insta360 shows the Ace Pro 2 mounted onto a chunky grip that looks a little like a modern take on a Polaroid. The grip has its own controls: a knurled dial, a shutter button, and a rocker switch. But the main attraction is the built-in printer that spits out small physical photos seconds after you capture them. No phone pairing, no app — just shoot and print.

The timing isn’t subtle. Insta360 already refreshed the Ace Pro 2 with the Arctic White edition earlier this year, and now it seems the company wants to keep the camera relevant with accessories rather than releasing a full Ace Pro 3. With DJI about to unveil its next flagship, this drop feels like a deliberate move to grab attention first.

A few details are still unknown, including the price of the grip or any bundles, print quality, what kind of paper it uses, and whether this signals a delay or shift away from a full Ace Pro 3 successor.

What is clear is that Insta360 is leaning into fun, not just numbers on a spec sheet. Action cameras usually focus on video quality and stabilization, but this grip brings back a kind of instant-photo nostalgia you don’t really see in this category.

If the printing feature works well, the Ace Pro 2 could end up being one of the more interesting — and unexpectedly playful — action cams of 2025, even though the camera itself has been around for over a year.

The post Insta360 Ace Pro 2: Instant-Print Grip launches tomorrow, right before DJI’s big reveal appeared first on Gizmochina.

Insta360 is adding a new member to its lineup of compact cameras. The GO Ultra builds on the company’s pocket-sized GO series with better video performance, a larger sensor, and more flexible mounting options, all while staying surprisingly small.

The GO Ultra sticks to the detachable format that Insta360 introduced with the GO 3 and 3S, but this time the body is closer to a square shape rather than the pill design of its predecessors. 

It measures 1.8 inches on each side and weighs 53 grams, around 14 grams more than the GO 3S. Docked into its case, which doubles as a charger and preview screen, the setup reaches about 110 grams. That still makes it significantly lighter than cameras like the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro or Insta360’s own Ace Pro 2.

A bigger sensor, a durable battery

The big change is the new 1/1.28-inch sensor, which is over twice the size of what the GO 3S used. Paired with a new 5nm chip and an ambient light sensor, the Ultra can deliver better low-light video and smoother performance.

Speaking of which, the compact can record up to 4K 60fps resolution, and with the “Active HDR” option at 4K 30fps. If you drop to 1080p, frame rates can climb to 240fps for slow-motion shots. Still photos are also sharper now, with up to 50MP resolution and support for RAW.

The GO Ultra has a built-in 500mAh cell that can last up to 70 minutes, while pairing it with the Action Pod can extend its runtime to around 200 minutes at lower recording settings. It’s waterproof up to 33 feet and comes with a memory card slot that supports microSD cards up to 2TB.

Accessories remain a big part of Insta360’s pitch. The GO Ultra works with an upgraded magnetic pendant for chest mounting, sticky tabs, and even a hat clip designed for kids. 

Its magnetic back also lets it latch directly onto metal surfaces. On the software side, the Insta360 app continues to offer editing tools, HDR modes, and fitness data overlays pulled from apps like Strava or paired smartwatches.

Insta360 GO Ultra Price and Availability

The Insta360 GO Ultra is available starting today, August 21st, priced at $449.99 for the Standard Bundle. That includes the camera, magnetic mounts, a lens guard, and a safety cord. You can also buy a Creator Bundle for $499.99, which adds a mini tripod, quick-release mount, and pivot stand to the package.

The post Insta360’s new GO Ultra packs a bigger sensor and 4K 60fps recording into a tiny body appeared first on Gizmochina.

360-degree cameras are still a niche product, but they’ve been around long enough to become reliable tools for creators, vloggers, and adventure enthusiasts.

If you’re one of them and looking to buy a 360 camera, there are plenty of solid options to choose from in 2025. The best overall still comes from the popular Insta360 brand, but new entries from other major players bring strengths of their own. 

Here are the best 360 cameras you can buy in 2025.

The 360 camera that most people should buy

If you’re looking for a 360 camera that does almost everything right, Insta360’s X5 is probably it. It’s the successor to the X4 and brings upgrades in the areas where it needed them most.

The X5’s twin 1/1.28-inch sensors can now capture up to 8K video at 30fps, which not only gives you more flexibility when reframing but also lets you export sharp 4K clips for traditional use.

The X5’s footage also looks clean and dynamic, and Insta360 mostly has a color science that flatters people. There’s also a new PureVideo mode that significantly improves low-light performance. And if you end up scuffing the lenses during a hike or bike ride, replacements cost just $30.

This is also one of the more versatile cameras on the list. It has a bright touchscreen, responsive gesture controls, and a single-lens mode that essentially turns it into a standard action camera.

You also get RAW photo support and Insta360’s standout software suite, which makes editing on desktop or mobile far less painful than it used to be.

• Video: 8K 30fps (360), 4K 60fps (single-lens)
• Photos: Up to 72MP
• Battery: 80 minutes at 8K
• Weight: 200g

For the Outdoor Action Crowd

The GoPro Max is the company’s first and only 360 camera. It is perfect for those who are already using GoPro’s ecosystem or just want a camera that works well in water, mud, and snow. The Max is waterproof up to five meters without a case, and it leans heavily into GoPro’s action-camera roots.

The selling point here is simplicity. GoPro’s OverCapture software lets you turn 360-degree footage into more traditional 2D video without much hassle. You just shoot everything and choose your angle later. The catch is that the exported video maxes out at Full HD, which is noticeably less sharp than the 4K+ files coming from newer cameras like the Insta360 X5.

Still, the Max offers rock-solid stabilization (thanks to GoPro’s HyperSmooth tech) and some cool shooting modes like 360 TimeWarp. For people who care more about ease-of-use and ruggedness than top-tier resolution, the Max could be a dependable pick.

• Video: 5.6K 360 video
• Photos: 18MP
• Battery: 1600mAh
• Weight: 154g

DJI Osmo 360

DJI has (finally) entered the 360 space with its first dedicated model, the Osmo 360. And more than anything, it feels like a clear response to the Insta360 X5. This camera is built on DJI’s drone and action cam experience, and it shows. 

It has dual 1-inch sensors, 8K video at 50fps, and a claimed 13.5 stops of dynamic range. You also get the ability to shoot 4K at 120fps with a super-wide 170° field of view, and it can shoot massive panoramic stills equivalent to 16K resolution.

There are thoughtful extras, too. It has 105GB of internal storage, a USB-C fast-charging port, voice controls, and support for DJI’s wireless mic system without a receiver. It even includes features like gesture commands, stereo and mono audio recording, and magnetic mounts borrowed from the Osmo Action line.

Perhaps the most surprising part is the battery endurance. According to DJI, it can last up to 100 minutes on continuous 8K recording, or up to 190 minutes at 6K. That’s well above what most 360 cams offer. 

• Video: 8K 50fps (360), 4K 120fps
• Photos: 1.2 billion-pixel panoramic images (16K)
• Battery: Up to 190 minutes (5=6J)
• Weight: 183g

A reliable 360 camera for less

While the X5 may be Insta360’s new flagship, the X4 is still on sale and often discounted heavily. For people on a budget, it’s a solid entry point into 360 video. You still get 8K video capture at 30fps and decent battery life (about 68 minutes at 8K), but the sensors are smaller (1/2-inch), and the image quality isn’t as clean as the X5.

You also miss out on PureVideo, which means low-light footage can be rough. But in good lighting, it still holds up well. Like the X5, it can shoot in single-lens mode, making it useful for vlogging or handheld walk-and-talk videos.

The best thing about the X4 is probably the price. If you’re okay with some compromises in dynamic range and night performance, this is a way to get into the 360 world without spending top dollar.

• Video: 8K 30fps (360), 4K 60fps (single-lens)
• Photos: 72MP
• Battery: 68 minutes at 8K
• Weight: 203g

The post The best 360 cameras you can buy in 2025 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier today, DJI unveiled its first 360 camera, the Osom 360, which supports native 8K panoramic video recording at up to 50fps and offers up to 13.5 stops of dynamic range. Its competitor, Insta360, also has a new adventure camera in the pipeline called the Insta360 Go Ultra. Android Headlines has leaked images and promo material for the upcoming camera.

As per the report, the Insta360 Go Ultra will be the successor to last year’s Go 3S, bringing key upgrades, including 4K video at 60FPS and a redesigned square body.

The Go Ultra will keep its focus on portability. It’s small, lightweight, and clips easily onto shirts, bags, or helmets. Like its predecessor, it’s waterproof and designed for action use. The square design replaces the rectangular shape of the Go 3S, making it easier to handle.

The biggest upgrade will be the ability to shoot 4K video at 60FPS. The Go 3S was limited to 4K at 30FPS, so this is a major improvement for smoother footage. The flip-up screen returns, useful for vlogging or recording yourself on the go.

There are recording indicator lights on both the camera and the screen. This helps others see when it’s filming, even if the camera is detached and mounted somewhere else.

The modular design is unchanged. You can pop the camera out and attach it anywhere. It’s still a tiny action cam that can go almost anywhere and capture high-quality footage.

The Insta360 Go Ultra will be available in black and white. While there’s no official launch date yet, it’s expected to be announced by early September, possibly around IFA 2025.

The post Insta360 Go Ultra Leak Reveals 4K 60FPS and New Compact Design appeared first on Gizmochina.

Insta360 has released a new version of its X5 action camera, made for motorcycle riders. Called the Insta360 X5 BMW Motorrad Edition, this limited edition model includes new features designed for use on the road.

The camera has the same 8K 360-degree video recording as the regular X5, but it now comes with BMW Motorrad branding on the back cover and accessories. Inside, the interface and stats dashboard have a BMW theme and can show real-time riding data like speed and distance directly on the footage.

One of the main new features is the BMW Motorrad Mini Remote. It attaches to the handlebar and lets riders start or stop recording with a single tap. It also allows switching between fixed camera views and full 360 video using InstaFrame Mode, without taking hands off the bar.

The camera includes a new 2800 mAh Ultra Battery that lasts up to 17 percent longer than the standard battery. It also comes with a BMW-branded carry pouch that has a stronger zipper and a new design. The camera arrives in a new box with visuals focused on its use for riders.

It supports PureVideo Mode for better video quality in different riding conditions. The camera is waterproof and built to handle tough weather. FlowState Stabilization keeps footage smooth, and the Invisible Selfie Stick helps create clean, cinematic shots.

The Insta360 X5 BMW Motorrad Edition is now available worldwide in limited numbers. It is priced at 599.99 dollars on the Insta360 store. The company is also running a giveaway, and the winner will be announced on July 18.

Following the release of two webcams, Insta360 is gearing up to launch the Ace Pro 2 action camera. However, thanks to reliable leaker @Quadro_News, you don’t have to wait for the official launch to get all the details. The leaker has shared an extensive list of specs, leaving little to the imagination.

Insta360 Ace Pro 2 specs leak

The Ace Pro 2 reportedly features a 50-megapixel sensor capable of recording 8K video (4320p). The camera is higher in resolution than DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro which has a 40MP lens. 

The standout feature of Ace Pro 2 could be its 5nm AI chip which will offer improvements in image processing, overall camera performance, and smoother system operations.

The sensor itself measures 1/1.3” (9.6 x 7.2mm) and is paired with an f/2.6 aperture and a 2x digital zoom for added shooting flexibility. The focal length ranges from 13mm to 35mm, so you will be able to shoot both wide-angle and zoomed-in shots.

In terms of video options, the Ace Pro 2 will support slow-motion recording at a buttery smooth 240fps. You’ll also get an HDR mode for capturing scenes with a wider dynamic range.

Since it’s a camera for adventurers, the Ace Pro 2 is built for durability. According to the leak, it can withstand water submersion up to 33 feet and survive drops from 5 feet. 

It’s also rated to handle extreme temperatures, operating between -4°F and 113°F, making it suitable for adventures in both cold and hot environments.

Despite its toughness, the Ace Pro 2 will still be lightweight at just 0.39 pounds, only slightly heavier than the GoPro Hero 13 Black. It will offer Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for connectivity and for storage, you’ll get a microSD card slot.

The leaked specifications also confirm a tripod-mountable design with dimensions of 2.8 x 2.0 x 1.2 inches. 

Apart from these, a separate leak from PhotoRumors suggests that the action camera will offer 8K video recording support at 30fps. Also, the camera is said to be equipped with Leica Super-Summarit-A lens.

Just ahead of the anticipated reveal of the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 action camera, leaks have emerged detailing two new webcams from the company – the Link 2 and Link 2C.

The leaks suggest the Insta360 Link 2 is the more feature-packed option among the two. It will have an Auto Framing feature, which utilizes a built-in gimbal and AI to keep you (or your colleagues) in the center of the frame during calls. 

Additionally, Link 2 is said to have a Whiteboard Mode that leverages AI to optimize the visibility of whiteboard content. With the growing popularity of remote collaboration, this feature could be a boon for educators and business professionals.

The leaks further detail features like Portrait Mode and uncropped 4K vertical video feature for the growing popularity mobile-first content creation. Security-conscious users will likely appreciate the Privacy Mode, which automatically tilts the gimbal down after 10 seconds of inactivity or allows for manual control. 

Notably, Link 2 also offers a DeskView Mode for capturing desk content, potentially useful for product demos or showcasing physical materials during presentations.

Moreover, you will get an AI Noise Cancellation is another feature highlighted in the leaks to improve voice clarity by filtering out unwanted background sounds. Additionally, the leaks suggest that Link 2 utilizes a 2-axis gimbal with AI Tracking to keep subjects in focus even while moving around.

The Link 2C, on the other hand, prioritizes compactness while still packing a punch. Leaks suggest it will boast 4K UHD Resolution with Auto-Adjust Framing, ensuring users remain in the shot. An HDR Mode is also rumored, offering improved dynamic range in various lighting conditions.  

Fast and accurate focusing seems likely with the inclusion of a PDAF (Phase Detection Auto Focus) system. The Link 2C reportedly adds a layer of interactivity with Gesture Control, allowing users to control settings with hand movements. 

Unlike the Link 2’s gimbal-based privacy solution, the Link 2C features a built-in privacy shutter for a more traditional approach. Both versions are expected to offer USB-C connectivity and come with a magnetic mount for easy placement.
