- It can record 8K Dolby Vision video at up to 30fps.
- It supports native 4K vertical video with 6K oversampling.

- A detachable 2-inch OLED touchscreen can work as a remote monitor from up to 20 metres away.
Insta360 has expanded its gimbal camera lineup with the new Luna Pro, a camera aimed at creators who want high-end video capabilities without carrying a larger professional camera setup.
The new model combines a Leica Summicron lens with a next-generation Type 1 image sensor. It also brings features such as 8K Dolby Vision recording, 10-bit I-Log and built-in timecode.
However, the more interesting part is how Insta360 has positioned the Luna Pro between its existing Luna and Luna Ultra cameras.
Luna Pro gets the Ultra’s main camera
The Luna Pro shares the main camera used on the Luna Ultra. However, Insta360 has removed the Ultra’s secondary 3x optical zoom camera.
That makes the Luna Pro a simpler setup for creators who don’t necessarily need a dedicated longer lens.
Despite losing the second camera, Insta360 has retained one of the Ultra’s standout features: the detachable display.
Detachable screen can help solo creators
The Luna Pro comes with a 2-inch detachable OLED touchscreen.
It can be used to remotely control and monitor the camera from up to 20 metres away. The screen also has a built-in microphone.
For solo creators, this could be particularly useful. Instead of repeatedly walking back to the camera to check framing, users can keep an eye on the shot remotely.
The camera also includes AI-powered tracking and controls designed around faster content creation, according to Insta360.
Native 4K vertical video is a major highlight
One of the biggest creator-focused features is native 4K vertical video.
The Luna Pro can record 4K at 30fps vertically with 6K oversampling. This means creators can shoot directly in a format designed for platforms built around vertical content rather than having to crop horizontal footage later.
For Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and similar platforms, this could make the camera more practical for everyday content creation.
8K Dolby Vision and slow motion
The Luna Pro isn’t limited to social-media content.
It can record 8K Dolby Vision video at up to 30fps. It also supports 4K at 120fps and 1080p at 240fps for slow-motion footage.
The camera uses a 20mm-equivalent lens with an f/1.8 aperture.
Although it does not have the Ultra’s second longer lens, the Luna Pro supports 4K 60fps recording with lossless zoom up to an 80mm-equivalent focal length.
Leica colour profiles and professional recording
Insta360 is also targeting more serious video creators.
The Luna Pro includes Leica colour profiles such as Leica Natural, Leica Vivid and Leica Chrome, alongside other cinematic profiles.
It also supports 10-bit I-Log recording and ACES workflows for professional colour grading.
That gives users more flexibility when they want to colour-grade footage rather than relying entirely on the camera’s processed output.
Insta360 Luna Pro price and availability
The Insta360 Luna Pro is now available globally in Cosmic Black and Stellar White.
Its starting price is:
- US: $599.99
- Canada: $679.99
- Europe: €529
- UK: £469
The supplied information does not specify an India price, so we should not quote an estimated Indian price as an official figure.
The Luna Pro is also considerably cheaper than the Luna Ultra, which is priced at $769.99 in the US. The main question for creators, therefore, is whether the Ultra’s additional camera and 3x optical zoom justify the higher price.
For creators focused on vertical content, solo shooting and high-quality video, the Luna Pro looks like a more streamlined alternative. It keeps several of the Ultra’s important capabilities while dropping the second camera to reach a lower price point.
