Insta360 launches Leica‑co‑engineered Luna Ultra gimbal

Insta360 has launched its first flagship gimbal camera, the Luna Ultra, positioning it as a direct competitor in the portable vlogging camera market dominated by devices like DJI's Osmo Pocket series. The camera, developed in collaboration with Leica, became available for purchase on June 10, 2026, with a starting price of $769.99.

The Luna Ultra combines a built-in three-axis gimbal with a dual-lens imaging system. Its primary camera features a one-inch 8K sensor paired with a Leica Summicron lens. A secondary telephoto lens uses a 1/1.3-inch sensor, offering up to 6x lossless zoom and 12x total zoom capability. For video, it records up to 8K at 30 frames per second with Dolby Vision HDR support and a 10-bit I-Log color profile, providing 14 stops of dynamic range. It also shoots 4K video at up to 120 fps for slow motion.

A standout feature is its detachable two-inch OLED touchscreen, which functions as a wireless remote monitor and controller from distances up to 20 meters. The screen also incorporates a built-in microphone. The camera is equipped with Insta360's Deep Track 5.0 AI subject tracking and a PureVideo mode designed to enhance low-light performance.
