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
