Insta360 is stepping into DJI territory again—this time going after the pocket vlogging camera market.

At NAB Show 2026 in Las Vegas, the company gave a sneak peek at its upcoming Luna series, showing off the Luna Pro and Luna Ultra behind frosted glass. It’s not a full reveal yet, but there’s already enough here to get a sense of where things are headed.

Very Familiar… for a Reason

If the design looks familiar, that’s because it kind of is.

The Luna cameras follow the same general idea as DJI’s Osmo Pocket lineup: a compact body with a built-in grip, a rotating screen, and a 3-axis gimbal-mounted camera up top.

There are also two versions. The Luna Pro sticks with a single camera, while the Luna Ultra goes with a dual-lens setup—clearly aimed at competing with DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4 and 4P models.

Leica Optics and Flexible Shooting

Insta360 says the Luna series will use a Type 1 sensor paired with an f/1.8 lens co-engineered with Leica, along with 10-bit color support.

There’s also mention of “variable focal lengths,” which likely means some combination of zoom or multi-camera switching. The Luna Ultra, in particular, is expected to lean into this with its dual-camera setup for better reach and framing options.

Early Impressions From Creators

Photographer and creator David Manning has already had some hands-on time with the Luna Ultra, and while he’s still under wraps on most details, he did drop a few hints.

He mentioned multiple color options at launch and teased additional features with a simple “oh, that’s good”—which, honestly, is probably the kind of reaction Insta360 wants right now.

Leaks Fill in Some of the Gaps

As usual, leaks are doing some of the heavy lifting.

According to a report from Gizmo China, the Luna Ultra could feature a 1-inch sensor for the main camera and a 1/1.3-inch sensor for the telephoto. The focal lengths are said to be around 18mm for the wide and 70mm for the telephoto.

There’s also talk of 3.9x optical zoom, up to 6x “lossless” zoom, and even simultaneous recording from both cameras.

On the video side, it’s rumored to shoot up to 4K240p, with 10-bit color, Dolby Vision HDR, and I-Log support.

Gimbal, Screen, and a Possible Modular Twist

The Luna Ultra is expected to include a 3-axis gimbal with AI-assisted stabilization, along with a 2-inch rotating OLED screen that supports vertical shooting.

One of the more interesting rumored features is a “twist modular design,” which could let you detach the camera head from the body. If that turns out to be real, it would be a pretty big departure from DJI’s current approach.

Battery life is said to be around 180 minutes, with a 1500mAh battery, and the whole thing could weigh under 150 grams.

Pricing and Availability

Insta360 hasn’t shared pricing or release details yet. That said, with demo units already floating around and a public tease at NAB, it feels like a full launch probably isn’t too far off.

At this point, it’s clear Insta360 isn’t just experimenting—it’s going straight after DJI’s Pocket lineup. If the Luna series delivers on even half of these rumored features, things could get pretty interesting in the compact vlogging space.
