Insta360 launches Luna Ultra compact gimbal camera with dual lenses and detachable screen

Insta360 has introduced the Luna Ultra, a pocket‑sized gimbal camera that features a dual Leica Summicron lens system – a 1‑inch sensor with f/1.8 aperture for 8K video and a secondary 1/1.3‑inch telephoto lens with 3× optical zoom. The device includes a three‑axis gimbal, a detachable 2‑inch OLED touchscreen that can serve as a wireless remote with built‑in microphone, and AI‑driven noise reduction for low‑light shooting. It supports 10‑bit I‑Log, Dolby Vision, and offers up to 12× digital zoom. Priced at £649/$769, the Luna Ultra aims to compete with DJI’s Osmo Pocket series, amid ongoing copyright lawsuits between the two Chinese manufacturers.

A 3‑D‑printed pistol‑grip accessory for the Luna series has also appeared, sparking mixed reactions online about its gun‑like appearance and practical utility. Commentators noted the design’s novelty while raising concerns over public perception.

The Luna Ultra’s build quality, dual‑lens versatility, and detachable controller have been praised in a review from Slovakia, which highlighted its performance compared with the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 and noted the higher price point is justified by the added features.
