    Insta360 Luna Ultra Price Revealed by CEO: US/EU Buyers

    Key Takeaway

    – Price points confirmed: dual-camera body 5,299 RMB (~$780) and bundle 6,499 RMB (~$960).
    – Domestic MSRP will be lower; lower-cost routes include importing Luna Ultra from China or buying Luna Pro single-cam.
    – International pricing appears steep: US around $950-$1,000; EU rumors up to €1,050 (dual-cam) with single-cam around €850.
    – Indicates a two-tier strategy: competitive in China against DJI, but premium pricing abroad with no official justification given.

    Following the recent flurry of leaks surrounding the upcoming Insta360 Luna series, the company’s CEO, Liu Jingkang, has weighed in on the matter. In a statement that clarifies the eye-watering price tags circulating online, there is finally a mix of relief for domestic buyers and a reality check for the global market. CEO Liu Jingkang confirmed that while the leaked figures of 5,299 RMB (~$780) for the dual-camera body and 6,499 RMB (~$960) for the bundle are accurate, there is a major catch. For those worried that Insta360 was ready to abandon the “affordable” gimbal segment, Jingkang clarified that the 5,299 RMB starting price point represents the US retail price converted back into local currency. Still, to get the lower price, you’d likely have to import the Luna Ultra from China, or just get the single-cam Luna Pro.

    Domestic pricing and market positioning

    “Even if I had the guts, I wouldn’t dare sell it at this price domestically,” Jingkang noted, suggesting that the official Chinese MSRP will be significantly lower than the international conversion. This positioning suggests Insta360 is aiming to remain competitive against DJI in its home market, where the Osmo Pocket 4 (and the older Pocket 3) are the dominant force. That said, the domestic stance appears designed to placate local buyers while signaling that the Luna line is not simply a budget accessory, but a strategic move in a price-conscious landscape.

    International implications and EU pricing hints

    That said, for international buyers, the CEO’s statement effectively confirms previous fears that the Insta360 Luna Ultra is going to be a very expensive piece of kit. By confirming the ~$960 bundle price (likely to be rounded down/up to $950 or $1,000) for the US market, Insta360 is officially moving the Luna Ultra out of the “vlogging accessory” category and into the territory of entry-level mirrorless cameras like the Sony ZV-E10 II or even the Canon EOS R50. According to previous rumors about EU pricing, bundle prices (emulating the Osmo Pocket Creator Combo) for the single-cam Insta360 Luna Pro and dual-cam Luna Ultra could be as high as €850 and €1,050.

    Conclusion and what remains unclear

    Insta360’s CEO hasn’t provided further details or justification for this steep international pricing. Unlike the single-lens DJI Osmo Pocket 4, the Luna Ultra is expected to feature: Liu Jingkang

  • Insta360 Luna Ultra & Luna Pro Price Leak vs DJI Osmo Pocket 4

    Insta360 Luna Ultra & Luna Pro Price Leak vs DJI Osmo Pocket 4

    Key Takeaway

    – European pricing for the Luna Ultra could top €1,000 after VAT, potentially moving it into mirrorless-camera territory.
    – Luna Ultra promises premium hardware: a 1-inch main sensor, a secondary 3x optical zoom lens, and a detachable OLED touchscreen that doubles as a remote.
    – Early numbers suggest a bundle/Creator Combo around ¥6,499 (~€835 pre-VAT, ~$900), with body-only at ~¥5,299 (~€680 pre-VAT).
    – The timing aligns with DJI’s Cannes preview of the Osmo Pocket 4P, signaling a price/spec showdown—though the leak’s credibility should be treated skeptically.

    Just as DJI is previewing the Osmo Pocket 4P (Pro) in Cannes, a leak suggests the battle for the ultimate gimbal camera of 2026 might’ve just taken an expensive turn.

    Leaked pricing and claims

    Early reports from tipster Digital Chat Station said the upcoming Insta360 Luna Ultra could start at ¥5,299 (which converts to roughly $735 / €680) for the body only, while the all-inclusive bundle is expected to go for ¥6,499 (approx. $900 / €835).

    Europe price impact

    Now, a fresh leak circulating on social media suggests that global customers (particularly in Europe) might be looking at a much steeper reality. The info hints that once local taxes and European VAT (averaging 23%) are factored in, the pricing for the Insta360 Luna lineup is expected to reach unprecedented (for a gimbal camera) territory.

    Bundles vs standalone

    Of course, the leak should be taken with a healthy dose of skepticism, but if the prices turn out to be correct, they likely refer to the bundle version (with extra accessories) – something like DJI Osmo Pocket 4’s Creator Combo.

    Market positioning

    Either way, crossing the psychological barrier of €1,000 would shift the Luna Ultra out of the “vlogging accessory” category and place it in direct competition with mirrorless cameras. The justifying force behind the rumored price remains the hardware in the single-cam Luna Pro and dual-cam Luna Ultra – a massive 1-inch main sensor, a secondary 3x optical zoom lens, and the innovative detachable OLED touchscreen that doubles as a remote control.

    Pricing expectations

    Once again, the timing of this leak is important. As DJI officially previews the Osmo Pocket 4P today at the Cannes Film Festival, Insta360 appears ready to trade blows on specs, even if it means asking for an arm and a leg.
