Insta360 Luna Ultra Tops DJI Pocket 4 in US With 2 Lenses and $770 Price

3 articles · Updated · CNET · Jun 10

Summary

  • $770 Luna Ultra is the only one of the two officially headed to US buyers now, while DJI says Pocket 4 authorization is still pending and the camera is absent from its US site.
  • 2 lenses give Insta360 an immediate hardware edge: a detachable display doubles as a remote monitor, and a 3x optical zoom adds framing options the single-lens Pocket 4 cannot match.
  • 1-inch sensors keep image quality broadly competitive, but the Pocket 4 looks more natural out of camera; shooting Log and grading narrows the gap, while Luna performs better in low light.
  • 240fps 4K slow motion and stronger wireless-mic performance favor DJI, whereas stabilization and subject tracking are broadly similar and both cameras deliver about 2 to 4 hours of battery life.
  • US availability makes the buying decision straightforward for American vloggers for now, even though the overall winner is less clear once DJI's dual-lens Pocket 4P arrives.
