DJI-Insta360/Yingshi Luna Ultra patent clash

Overview

In June 2026, Insta360 entered the compact gimbal market with the Luna Ultra, a pocket-size dual-lens camera co-engineered with Leica. The device pairs a 1-inch 50-MP main sensor (f/1.8) with a 1/1.3-inch telephoto module (f/2.0), delivering 8K video at 30 fps, Dolby Vision HDR, 10-bit I-Log, 12× optical zoom (6× loss-less) and 47 GB of internal storage. A detachable 2-inch OLED touchscreen serves as a remote controller and wireless monitor. Pricing was set at US$ 769 (standard) and US$ 969 for a Creator Combo.

Within days of the launch, DJI filed two infringement suits in the U.S. Eastern District of Texas, alleging the Luna Ultra copies the design and utility patents of its Osmo Pocket line. Insta360 responded with countersuits, and on 16 June filed a separate U.S. suit accusing DJI of infringing its gimbal-stabilisation patents. In July, DJI withdrew its U.S. actions and, alongside Chinese rival Yingshi, shifted the dispute to Chinese courts. DJI is slated for a hearing in Shenzhen on 3 August, while Yingshi launched six counter-suits nationwide.

As the legal battle continues, Insta360 has expanded its product line. On 20 August, the company launched the Luna Pro in China, a single-lens 8K gimbal camera featuring a 1-inch Leica Summicron f/1.8 lens and a Sony sensor. On 10 September, Insta360 expanded the Luna Pro to a global launch. Positioned as a more accessible alternative to the Luna Ultra, the Pro model features a dual-chip AI architecture, 3-axis stabilization, and 10-bit I-Log support. It is capable of 8K video and native 4K vertical video via 6K oversampling. The device includes a detachable 2-inch OLED touchscreen, 47GB of internal storage, and is priced globally between approximately 529 and 599 euros/dollars.
