Insta360 is partnering with Leica on the development of the upcoming Luna gimbal cameras (previously reported here). Here is a recap of rumored/leaked Insta360 Luna camera specifications:
- Leica co-engineering: Optics, color science, and full-chain calibration tuned by Leica for premium image quality and “Leica look.”
- Sensor and lens (main/wide on both models): 1-inch CMOS sensor, f/1.8 aperture (some hands-on reports specify ~18–20mm equivalent focal length), 14 stops of dynamic range.
- Luna Ultra only: Dual-lens design with a secondary telephoto lens (1/1.3-inch sensor, ~70mm equivalent, f/2.8 aperture) for enhanced zoom performance.
- Zoom: Variable focal length with 1–6× lossless zoom (optical component reportedly up to ~3.9×); early leaked footage shows a 12× zoom toggle in use.
- Video capabilities: 10-bit color (hands-on mentions 10-bit iLog), smoother transitions in highlights/shadows; rumored 4K up to 240 fps slow-motion and Dolby Vision HDR support.
- Design and features: Pocket gimbal form factor (Osmo Pocket-style); possible modular/detachable gimbal head; Insta360’s AI stabilization and Deep Track 3.0 subject tracking; physical controls, flip-out/rotating touchscreen.
- Colors and variants: Two distinct color options per model
- Battery: reportedly around 1,550 mAh
- Other: Pairs seamlessly with the new Insta360 Mic Pro
Update: the two lenses are 20mm/1.8 and 60mm/2.0 (see the added picture above). The 20mm lens module has a 1” sensor; the sensor in the 60mm module is unknown for now.
Here is the official statement from Insta 360 on the new Luna camera from the 2026 NAB show:
Members of the media and NAB attendees were among the first globally to preview the upcoming Insta360 Luna Series, co-engineered with Leica, which includes Luna Pro and Luna Ultra. The series features a large 1-inch sensor, a bright F1.8 aperture, a variable focal length, and support for 10-bit color for smoother, more natural transitions in light and shadow, capturing more nuanced and detailed color straight from the camera. Luna Pro features a single-lens design, while Luna Ultra features a dual-lens design and enhanced telephoto performance. Luna Ultra and Luna Pro were both being teased at the booth, and will be available in two distinct color options.
An Insta360 Luna gimbal camera sample video was posted by the CEO and can be found here. He said the following:
Previewing Luna 1-6x shooting results, highest resolution can be chosen includes 4k Dolby Vision. Of course 6x and 4k are not the end, we hope we can do more in “let users have more choices”. Repost and comment the Luna function you expect the most, May 15 will chose three people to buy the new product at 69 RMB.
Based on recent online reports and leaks, the Insta360 Pocket appears to be an upcoming modular handheld gimbal camera designed to compete directly with DJI’s Osmo Pocket series (e.g., the Osmo Pocket 3 and rumored Pocket 4). Here’s a breakdown of the key details gathered from various sources:
The device is rumored to feature a modular “snap-together” system, allowing users to detach and interchange camera modules. This includes options like a three-axis mechanical gimbal lens for stabilized vlogging (similar to DJI’s design) and a non-gimbal module with a larger 1-inch sensor paired with a Leica Super-Elmar 1:2.8/21 lens for higher-quality snapshots or fixed-position shooting.
Patents suggest support for interchangeable lenses, such as double-fisheye for 360° shots, AI tracking (possibly Deep Track 3.0 or later), wireless detachment for remote use, and stackable connectors for batteries or accessories.
Expected specs include up to 8K30fps in 360° mode or 4K60fps in standard mode, IPX8 waterproofing, drop resistance, and a price range of $499–$699.
Prototype photos leaked from a lab environment show a compact, pocketable form factor resembling the DJI Osmo Pocket but with greater flexibility for creators.
