The Insta360 Luna Pro, a single-lens gimbal camera the company calls the industry’s first to shoot full 4K in vertical orientation, launches in China at 3,399 yuan (about $505). It is the cheaper follow-up to the dual-lens Luna Ultra it unveiled in June.
The vertical claim comes down to resolution. The Luna Pro records 8K and keeps 4K in a 9:16 frame, where most gimbal cameras crop the moment they switch orientation. Gizmochina reports DJI’s Osmo Pocket 3, Pocket 4 and even the 4P all cap vertical footage at 3K (1,728 × 3,072) — the ceiling the Luna Pro is aimed at.
Why vertical 4K matters
Vertical is the default delivery format for Reels and TikTok, and the Osmo Pocket line has always cropped into it. Full 4K in portrait orientation means creators no longer choose between framing and sharpness when a video is destined for a phone screen.
Insta360 Luna Pro specs
The camera packs a 1-inch Sony sensor behind a Leica Summicron F1.8 lens, with 14 stops of dynamic range, Dolby Vision HDR and 10-bit I-Log recording, per PetaPixel. It keeps the Ultra’s detachable two-inch OLED touchscreen, which streams HD video up to 20 metres away and carries a built-in microphone. AI tracking and three-axis stabilisation handle framing, and the first 2x of the 4x zoom is lossless.
There is also an optional head-tracking accessory that moves the gimbal to follow your head — the POV-tracker trick from the Ultra — for hands-free walking shots. Battery life is rated at four hours from a 1,550mAh cell, with 80% charge in 23 minutes and 47GB of built-in storage.
Insta360 Luna Pro pricing and availability
The Luna Pro launches in China at 3,399 yuan (about $505). International pricing is unannounced; the Ultra took roughly two months to leave China after its June debut, and the Pro is expected to follow a similar path.
UAE buyers can benchmark against the Luna Ultra, which launched at $769.99 and now sells for AED 2,829–2,849 on Amazon.ae. Scaled the same way, the Pro should land around AED 1,850–2,000 when it arrives locally — an estimate until Insta360 confirms global pricing. That puts it on top of the Osmo Pocket 4 (AED 1,699–2,309 depending on combo) and below the dual-lens Pocket 4P, with Insta360’s own X6 360 camera starting at AED 2,699 in the UAE. DJI and Insta360 are also suing each other over the Osmo Pocket patents, so the rivalry has outgrown the spec sheet.

Will the Insta360 Luna Pro be sold in the UAE?
Not yet — the launch is China-only. Insta360 usually brings the Luna series to global markets around two months after the China debut, so UAE buyers should see it via Amazon.ae and local camera retailers in the coming months. Based on the Luna Ultra’s local pricing, expect roughly AED 1,850–2,000.
What is the Luna Pro’s head-tracking accessory?
It is an optional accessory that follows the wearer’s head movements and moves the three-axis gimbal to match, producing hands-free POV shots while walking. It works like the POV Head Tracker accessory for the Luna Ultra.
How does the Luna Pro differ from the Luna Ultra?
The Ultra is the dual-lens flagship with 8K recording and 12x zoom (6x lossless), launched at $769.99. The Pro uses a single 1-inch sensor with 4x zoom (2x lossless) and launches in China at 3,399 yuan — about $505.
