Insta360 Luna Ultra: A Dual-Camera Gimbal That Elevates Vlogging With Some Tradeoffs

The Insta360 Luna Ultra is a compact dual-camera gimbal with a detachable front plate for remote framing and mic control, offering 8K/30p and 4K/120p capture from a bright 20mm main lens (f/1.8) and a 60mm tele lens, plus 6x/12x digital zoom, 47GB built-in storage, USB-C power, and optional extended-battery. It excels for vlogging with smooth tracking and strong mic integration, but it runs hot in high-res modes, internal battery life is about two hours (less in 4K/120p), an ND kit is recommended for ultra-smooth slow motion, and the small removable screen can be fiddly—though the phone app improves control. Note: it records in Insta360 I-Log, not Leica L-Log.

Insta360 Strikes Back With Five-Patent Counterclaims Against DJI

Insta360 filed two countersuits against DJI in the U.S., alleging five utility patents covering gimbal stabilization, directional control, camera smooth stabilization, telemetry overlays, and panoramic video stabilization are infringed across DJI products such as the Osmo Pocket, Ronin/RS, Osmo Mobile, and Osmo 360. The move comes in response to DJI’s separate design and utility patent lawsuits over Insta360’s Luna Ultra, which Insta360 says was independently developed and not based on DJI technology, and seeks to defend its intellectual property.

DJI files two US patent suits accusing Insta360 of copying Osmo Pocket 4P

DJI has filed two US lawsuits accusing Insta360 of infringing its design and utility patents with the Luna Ultra, arguing it closely copies the Osmo Pocket 4P. The design-patent claim covers the elongated handheld body and overall gimbal layout, while four utility patents address features like single-control mode switching, integrated subject tracking with a built-in display, image-driven gimbal commands, and a self-contained tracking system. DJI previously sued Insta360 in China over alleged employee poaching and stolen R&D. It remains to be seen whether the claims will yield an injunction to halt Luna Ultra sales in the US.
