  "account": "Insta360 has established itself as a leader in the gimbal camera market with its premium Luna Ultra, which features a telephoto lens. The company has recently expanded the camera's capabilities in two ways - one for free and one requiring an additional purchase. The free update increases the Luna Ultra's maximum zoom from 12x to 15x, although this does not alter the optical hardware. An optional accessory, the 1.5x magnifying Ultra Telephoto Adapter, is now available for purchase and clips over the Ultra's dual camera system, blocking the wide-angle lens when zoomed out. Priced at $49.99 / £46.99, the adapter offers a higher level of zoom than the Luna Ultra, which previously lacked a 4K vertical shooting feature despite having a vertical rotating screen.",
