Insta360 Luna Ultra and Luna Pro Review (2026): Steady Does It

Not long ago, the idea of a compact, capable, and affordable camera gimbal seemed unfathomable. But then DJI pioneered this space with the Osmo Mobile, a gimbal for filming with your phone, and the Osmo Pocket, a gimbal-camera combo that's proved extremely popular. Now, Insta360 has joined the party with two competing gimbal cameras, the Insta360 Luna Ultra and Luna Pro.

You'd be forgiven for mistaking these Insta360 cameras for the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 and 4 Pro. In fact, the two companies are currently butting heads in a US court over these and other cameras. Oddly, given the lawsuit, neither of DJI's cameras is currently available in the US, which makes Insta360's Luna series a more compelling buy. Throw in great gimbal performance, excellent 4K footage, and, with the Luna Ultra, a zoom lens, and you have probably the best gimbal camera you can buy in the US.

Insta360 launched the Luna Ultra in June. Looking like Wall-E, the Ultra features two lenses: one wide-angle main lens (developed with Leica) and one zoom lens. In September, Insta360 added the Luna Pro, which is largely identical to the Ultra but lacks the second zoom lens. Think of the Pro as the Ultra's budget-friendly version for those who don't mind sacrificing the zoom feature for cost savings.

The two cameras have more in common than they do different, so I'll highlight what they share before I get into what makes the Ultra a touch nicer than the Pro, and, for that matter, the DJI Osmo Pocket 4.
