1. The Insta360 Luna Ultra is a potential rival to the DJI Osmo Pocket 4, featuring a larger 1,550 mAh battery.
2. The Ultra model appears to have a dual-camera setup, likely offering 3x optical zoom, and may be part of a two-version lineup including a single-camera variant.
3. The Luna Ultra offers more physical controls, including a joystick, zoom lever, and additional buttons, and is rumored to be modular.
New Competitor in Gimbal Camera Market
The Osmo Pocket 3 has been really popular among consumers for quite some time, making it one of the top-selling video cameras on the market. So it’s no surprise that DJI’s success has caught the attention of competitors. Now, with the upcoming launch of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 set for April 16, rumors have started buzzing about possible rivals, and we might just have the first look at one of them.
The Rise of Insta360 Luna Ultra
According to a fresh leak spotted on X, the new camera aiming to challenge the Osmo Pocket 4 is called the “Insta360 Luna Ultra.” It shows a battery capacity of 1,550 mAh, which is more than the Osmo Pocket 3’s 1,300 mAh. This suggests a longer battery life which could make it more appealing to users looking for extended recording times.
Speculation About the Camera’s Variants
It remains a mystery if this “Ultra” model is just a version of the previously leaked Insta360 Luna or an entirely new device. The leaked images display a dual-camera setup, possibly offering a 3x optical zoom; this hints that we are seeing the “Ultra” version rather than a basic one, assuming there’s also a standard model.
Possible Multiple Models
Most probably, Insta360 is planning to release two versions of the Luna: a single-camera model meant to directly compete with the Osmo Pocket 4, and a more advanced dual-camera “Ultra” variant. Rumors also mention an “Osmo Pocket 4 Pro” with dual cameras, but DJI hasn’t confirmed yet if such a device exists or not.
Design and Control Features
The leaks also talk about the Luna Ultra having more physical controls than the Osmo Pocket 4. It includes a joystick, a dedicated zoom lever, a record button, and two extra buttons next to the rotating screen. These buttons probably allow users to tweak settings like ISO, gimbal locks, or audio levels conveniently.
Modular Design Possibilities
Interestingly, the Insta360 Luna Ultra is said to be “modular.” Whether this means just magnetic accessories like mounts and lights, or some more complex modular system, remains uncertain. But the idea of customization options could be a game changer for users who want more flexibility with their cameras.
