▼ Summary
– Insta360 announced global availability for the Luna Ultra, its first handheld stabilized camera, following a launch in China.
– The Luna Ultra features a pair of 8K cameras on a 3-axis gimbal, upgrading from DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4 and Pocket 4P, which max out at 4K.
– The Luna Ultra is available starting today for $769.99 through Insta360’s online store and retailers like Amazon, B&H, and Best Buy.
– The primary camera on the Luna Ultra includes a 1-inch 8K sensor pair.
Insta360 has officially brought its first-ever handheld stabilized camera to the US market. The Luna Ultra arrives after months of speculation, leaked images, a quiet debut at NAB 2026, and an initial release in China. Now, creators across the country can get their hands on this powerful new tool starting at $769.99. It is available directly from Insta360’s online store, as well as major retailers like Amazon, B&H, and Best Buy.
What sets the Luna Ultra apart is its dual 8K camera setup mounted on a 3-axis gimbal. This gives it a significant edge over DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4 and Pocket 4P, both of which are limited to 4K capture. While DJI’s latest compact stabilizers remain unavailable for purchase in the US, Insta360 is stepping in to fill that gap with a higher-resolution alternative.
The primary camera on the Luna Ultra relies on a 1-inch 8K sensor pair, promising sharp, detailed footage that rivals larger rigs. For creators working solo or without a dedicated camera operator, this device could be a game-changer. The combination of stabilization and dual-lens flexibility allows for smooth, professional-grade video in a compact form factor.
With its US launch now official, the Luna Ultra positions itself as a serious contender for vloggers, travel filmmakers, and anyone who needs high-quality stabilized footage without the bulk of traditional cinema cameras.
