Insta360 Luna Ultra Leak Reveals Detachable Screen and Remote Controller
Insta360 may have another major hit on its hands. Just as the company grabbed attention with its retro-styled Go camera teaser, a new leak for the upcoming Luna Ultra is making an even bigger splash online.
The biggest reveal? The Luna Ultra reportedly has a fully detachable controller and screen setup.
A Detachable Screen on a Pocket Camera
New images shared online suggest that the Luna Ultra’s entire controller section—including the OLED display—can detach from the camera body.
That means users can control the camera remotely while also getting a live view feed, making it much easier to frame shots from a distance or film themselves without guessing composition.
If true, this could be one of the most interesting features we’ve seen on a pocket vlogging camera so far.
The concept is somewhat similar to DJI’s FrameTap controller on the Osmo Mobile 8P or the Hohem iSteady MT3 Pro remote system. For solo creators, livestreamers, or anyone shooting talking-head videos, this could make setup and framing dramatically easier.
The Controller Does More Than Just Display Video
According to the leak, the detachable unit supports up to 4K30p live view monitoring and also displays camera settings, zoom levels, and recording information.
Physical controls on the remote reportedly include a red record button, joystick, directional pad, and several customizable function buttons. There’s also a status LED and full wireless connectivity between the controller and camera.
Insta360 just broke the pocket camera mold.
The Luna Ultra’s whole handle — screen, buttons, all of it — detaches and becomes a wireless remote.
First time ever in a pocket cam. 4K, dual lenses, coming June.
DJI should be nervous. 🎥

Dual Cameras and Leica-Tuned Optics
The Luna Ultra is also rumored to feature a dual-camera system with Leica co-engineered optics and bright F/1.8 apertures. Reports point to a Type 1 sensor setup paired with advanced video specs, including 4K240p recording, 10-bit color, Dolby Vision HDR, and I-Log support.
Leica color profiles are also expected to be included, giving creators more cinematic color options straight out of the camera.
Up to 6x Lossless Zoom
Like the rumored DJI Osmo Pocket 4P, the Luna Ultra is expected to support up to 6x lossless zoom using in-sensor cropping.
That should give creators more flexibility when framing shots without heavily sacrificing image quality.
Compact but Surprisingly Powerful
Battery life is reportedly rated at up to 180 minutes of continuous recording using a 1500mAh battery.
Even with the detachable controller system, the entire setup is said to weigh around 150g, which is impressively lightweight considering the rumored specs.
Pricing and Availability
Insta360 has not officially announced pricing for the Luna or Luna Ultra yet.
Current rumors suggest the Luna Ultra could launch around the $735 price range, putting it directly against DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4 and the upcoming Pocket 4P.
The Insta360 Luna series is expected to launch sometime in Q2 2026.
