Insta360 launched the Luna Ultra, its first handheld stabilized gimbal camera featuring dual 8K cameras, on June 10, 2026, with availability in the US and Taiwan through online stores including Amazon and Best Buy [1, 2, 3]. The camera integrates a 1-inch 8K sensor with a Leica Summicron lens and a secondary 1/1.3-inch telephoto lens offering up to 12X zoom, including 6X lossless zoom, co-developed with Leica using its optical and color science expertise [1, 3].
The Luna Ultra supports 8K video recording at 30 frames per second with Dolby Vision and 10-bit I-Log color profiles, alongside 4K video up to 60fps or 120fps for slow motion, and 1080p at 240fps for very slow motion [1, 2, 3]. A detachable 2-inch OLED touchscreen doubles as a wireless remote with preview capability up to about 20 meters (65 feet) [1, 2, 3].
It is powered by a 1550mAh battery that lasts up to four hours per charge, with a quick charge option that can reach 80% capacity within 23 minutes in Taiwan [1, 2, 3]. Weighing 232 grams, the camera supports NFC quick wake-up and has a sliding cover for instant use [3].
Insta360 equipped the Luna Ultra with its Deep Track 5.0 AI technology for precise subject tracking and zoom control. The device supports 200MP panoramic photos, micro-distance macro focusing down to 15cm, and facial recognition that applies beauty filters specifically to faces. It also includes sensors for color temperature and anti-flicker effects [3]. Additionally, the camera offers AI auto-editing, enabling users to create finished videos from clips with one click [3].
Internal storage holds approximately 47GB and can be expanded up to 1TB via microSD cards [2]. For professional workflows, the Luna Ultra supports hardware timecode for multi-camera synchronization [3]. A first-person head-tracking module with an earhook accessory allows immersive point-of-view shooting with stable tracking [3].
Two package versions are offered in Taiwan: the Standard package priced at NT$22,990 and the Creator package at NT$29,990 [3]. The US price for the camera is about $770 [1, 2]. Insta360 Marketing VP and co-founder Max Richter said, "Luna Ultra marks Insta360's arrival in the gimbal camera space, backed by the full strength of our imaging expertise. We believe this category is ready for a new standard, defined by smarter technology, stronger performance, and a more intuitive user experience" [2].
The Luna Ultra made a low-profile debut around NAB 2026 in April before its wide release today [1]. It is now available for purchase globally online.
