Key Takeaways
1. Insta360 is set to launch the Luna, a new product aimed at competing with DJI’s Osmo Pocket line, with a launch expected before July.
2. The Luna features dual camera modules, including a 1x wide lens and a 3x optical zoom telephoto lens, similar to smartphone cameras.
3. It incorporates a mobile chipset with an integrated image signal processor (ISP) for enhanced image processing.
4. A secondary pre-ISP chip is included to reduce noise and improve image quality before final processing.
5. The Luna allows users to switch zoom levels using a joystick or touchscreen gestures, positioning it as a strong competitor to the upcoming Osmo Pocket 4 Pro.
Earlier this week, Insta360 confirmed the speculations about its new product that will rival DJI’s Osmo Pocket line. This announcement came right after Vivo also revealed their intention to create a similar device. The Insta360 Luna still doesn’t have a specific release date, but the company has hinted that it will be launched before July.
What to Expect from the Luna
Meanwhile, a newly released patent has shed light on what the Luna will offer. It has been noted that the Luna’s dual camera modules won’t work together to produce images. Instead, the cameras will function like those on a smartphone, featuring a standard 1x wide lens along with a 3x optical zoom telephoto lens. Additionally, both cameras will utilize a mobile chipset that includes an integrated image signal processor (ISP).
Advanced Image Processing Features
In addition, there’s a secondary pre-ISP chip included to help reduce image noise, adjust brightness levels, and improve shadow details before the final processing by the ISP. Users can switch between zoom levels using a specific joystick or by using touchscreen gestures on the Luna’s foldable viewfinder. In this way, the Luna is comparable to the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 (currently priced at $482 on Amazon), as well as the anticipated Osmo Pocket 4 Pro which is rumored to have a similar dual camera arrangement. At this point, it’s believed that the Osmo Pocket 4 Pro will be released before the Insta360 Luna becomes available.
