Insta360 has introduced the Luna Pro, a new handheld gimbal camera aimed at users who want more advanced video capabilities without moving to a larger interchangeable-lens camera. Its biggest upgrade is a 1-inch sensor paired with a Leica Summicron lens.
The Luna Pro can record video at up to 8K resolution and supports Dolby Vision for HDR video. It can also record 10-bit I-Log footage, giving professional users more room for color grading during post-production. The camera supports ACES as well, making it easier to include footage in professional production workflows.
Insta360 has built the camera around a 4nm chipset and a dedicated image processor. The company says this processing hardware allows the 1-inch sensor to handle 8K recording while also supporting high-frame-rate video. For slow-motion footage, the Luna Pro can record at up to 1080p and 240fps.
The camera uses a 3-axis gimbal for mechanical stabilization. It also offers 2x lossless zoom and up to 4x HighRes zoom. These options let users adjust the framing without relying entirely on physically moving the camera.
Another notable feature is its detachable 2-inch OLED touchscreen. The display provides access to the camera’s controls and can be separated from the main camera body. The Luna Pro also comes with 47GB of built-in storage.
Insta360 claims the camera can run for up to four hours on a single charge. That figure will depend on factors such as resolution, frame rate and other camera settings, but it gives the Luna Pro a relatively long operating time for a compact gimbal camera.
The Luna Pro is available in Cosmic Black and Stellar White. It costs $600 in the US and is available through Insta360’s official store, Amazon and select retailers.
The new model sits alongside the Luna Ultra in Insta360’s lineup. The Luna Ultra uses a dual-sensor setup, while the Luna Pro takes a different approach with its larger 1-inch sensor and Leica Summicron lens.
