We have another major shakeup in the gimbal camera market as Insta360 continues to challenge DJI for the top spot. The Insta360 Luna Ultra is a new top-of-the-line gimbal camera, complete with AI-powered features, 8K30 video, and dual Leica-engineered lenses.
With its two-lens design, the Luna Ultra will also feature two sensors: a 1” CMOS sensor and a 1/1.3” CMOS sensor. The gimbal camera will feature some new “triple AI chip” technology for more proficient low-light performance, and it will even showcase a nice 2” OLED touchscreen that can detach and function as a wireless remote too.
All great stuff, so let’s explore.
The New Insta360 Luna Ultra
As mentioned above, this is a major new addition to the gimbal camera market and will likely directly challenge DJI and its Osmo Pocket line. The Luna Ultra has a lot to offer, too, with its dual-sensor and lens design, triple AI chip, and a host of features aimed at high-octane photo and video capture.
The Luna Ultra is, of course, marketed for these adventurous capture modes, with its AI-powered tracking and rapid focus protocols among its top selling points for keeping subjects in focus during fast-action sports and travel.
However, it might be the image quality and 8K30 Dolby Vision video that is most appealing to interested content creators and videographers. The Luna Ultra will also be able to record 4K120 slow motion and 4K60 PureVideo. Plus, with its pro-grade telephoto lens engineered by Leica, the Luna Ultra will capture at 12x zoom and 6x lossless zoom.

All killer specs that should make Insta360 a top option for gimbal camera enthusiasts, or just the new era of content creators looking for sophisticated features and recording capabilities. The detachable 2” OLED touchscreen is no slouch either, as it offers HD video signal transmission support when used apart from the gimbal camera at distances of up to 65 feet.
The Luna Ultra also features a built-in wireless microphone in the component that records clear dialogue even at a distance. It also has standard 3-axis stabilization, along with AI-tracking and direct support via the Mic Pro transmitter.
Users can shoot with different Leica color profiles and a mix of cinematic filters to create their own baked-in professional looks, which is further aided by the ability to record in 10-bit I-log and up to 14 stops of dynamic range.
