Insta360 Now Has a Smaller, Cheaper Luna Gimbal Camera
The Luna Pro has a lot in common with the pricier Luna Ultra at a lower price, but not its dual-camera design.
Insta360 has unveiled a new, more affordable gimbal camera called Luna Pro, which is designed to be a smaller and cheaper alternative to their higher-end Luna Ultra model. Despite its smaller size and lower price, the Luna Pro retains many of the same features as its pricier sibling, including a removable screen, controls, microphones, and ease of use.
The Luna Pro features a single camera lens and sensor, limiting it to digital zoom options of 2x and 4x, as opposed to the Luna Ultra's optical zoom capabilities. The sensor in both cameras is capable of recording 8K30 video and 37-megapixel photos, although Insta360 suggests that most users will likely opt for more modest settings like 4K60 video or 12-megapixel photos.
One unique feature of the Luna Pro is its ability to capture 4K vertical video, whereas the Luna Ultra tops out at 3K. While the zoom feature is one of the most frequently used aspects of the Luna Ultra, the Pro's digital zoom may not appeal to all users who rely heavily on this functionality. The biggest difference between the two models is the price, with the Luna Pro costing $170 less than the Luna Ultra, making it a more budget-friendly option for those who don't require the added zoom capabilities.
