In a recent interview, Insta360 founder and CEO JK Liu confirmed that they are developing two new camera models with completely different characteristics, and one of them will have a shape that “you have never thought of before”:

For the mirrorless camera that has been rumored to be on the market on social media , they explicitly stated that “development is currently underway.” Moreover, they are developing two models with completely different characteristics. One of them will have a shape that “you have never thought of before,” and it may be a camera that will change the way people take pictures with cameras, which has traditionally involved “framing, focusing, and pressing the shutter button.” They said that “we may be able to show a prototype at CP+ in 2027 ,” suggesting that the camera industry will be much more interesting next year.

Insta360 upcoming products: hints from the CEO’s computer

Is Insta360 coming up with a new mirrorless camera?

The above screenshot of the Insta360 CEO’s computer was taken from a publicly available video post on Chinese social media and contains some hints on upcoming Insta360 products (check also the ongoing Insta360 sale):

• From the top, the first item is a Luna Ultra firmware
• Next is “compared OP4.mov”: OP4 here is most likely a comparison with the OSMO Pocket 4
• Next is “X6 360 pv (X6&001) compressed.mov”: clearly referring to a new X6 product (the next 360 camera model?)
• Next is a folder named “z0 latest sample for jk (only roughly adjusted exposure and color)”: the rumored mirrorless camera from Insta360 is called Z0 (this is probably a code name, not a final product name)
• Next is “X6 360 pv (X6&001) .mov.larkcache”, again the X6 (the next 360 camera model)
• “z03 compared OP4.mov.larkcache”: this seems to be a new product labeled as Z03
• The last folder is “z0 latest sample for jk” –  z0 again, the rumored Insta360 mirrorless camera

Update – the Insta360 X6 camera is already registered with the FCC:
