Insta360 Luna Ultra Portrait Sample and Teaser Video

 

INSTA360 LUNA SAMPLE IMAGE

Now, what we have got today is a clear sample picture of the Insta360 Luna Ultra, which shows how this camera setup captures real images with natural background blur, which is actually expected from a large DSLR or mirrorless camera with a bright aperture-based lens, which is going to cost you a lot. If you have that setup already, you know that.

Even before we begin, let me tell you, I am waiting for the DJI Pocket 4 Pro. If that particular product is not available in America, then yes, I will be waiting for the Xtra Muse 2 Pro, but again, the Luna Ultra is one of the best handheld gimbal cameras we have seen to date, specifically in terms of camera capture. Actually, it’s a screenshot from a video captured by the Insta360 Luna Ultra.

Insta360 Luna First Real Portrait Sample

Sample Image Captured by Luna

First Real Portrait Sample: Leica Dual-Lens Depth Profile in Action

That’s the best part of today’s leak, that we have a sample that clearly defines how the portraits will look when captured from the Insta360 camera.

This gorgeous portrait sample (shot on the Luna Ultra) demonstrates the exact selling point everyone’s talking about: real optical + computational depth instead of heavy software blur.

  • Creamy, natural bokeh on the background
  • Excellent subject isolation on the woman’s face
  • Flattering skin tones and micro-contrast that scream “Leica.”
  • Beautiful plane compression thanks to the telephoto lens

This is what happens when you combine a large 1-inch main sensor, bright f/1.8 aperture, and a dedicated telephoto module with stereo depth sensing. The result? Portrait mode that actually feels optical — not just “portrait mode.”

Watch: Insta360 Luna Ultra New Teaser Video

I have already posted Insta360 Luna videos. And the best part is, all these videos are uploaded by the testers and reviewers of the Insta360 Luna camera. Now, recently, a new short video has been published. Specifically, it looks like a kind of short promo video, but it is not available on the official Insta360 channel, so we have published it here.

The video highlights the premium build and the star of the show: the dual-lens Leica system that sets the Luna Ultra apart from every single-lens pocket gimbal camera on the market.

Insta360 Luna Ultra Key Specs & Features (Latest Confirmed)

Feature Insta360 Luna Ultra Details
Lens System Dual Leica lenses (Wide + Telephoto)
Main Sensor 1-inch CMOS (50MP)
Aperture f/1.8 (wide lens)
Focal Length ~18-20mm wide + ~60-70mm telephoto
Zoom ~4x optical / up to 6x lossless / ~12x hybrid
Video 4K 240fps support, 10-bit iLog, 14 stops DR
Gimbal 3-axis mechanical stabilization
Screen 2-inch rotatable high-brightness OLED touchscreen
Design Modular “Twist” design, available in Black & White
Audio Integrated 32-bit float-ready ecosystem
Expected Launch Late Q2 2026 (May/June)

The Luna Pro (single-lens version) will also be available, but the Luna Ultra is clearly positioned as the premium model for creators who want optical versatility in a pocket-sized package.

Why the Dual-Lens Leica System Changes Everything

Unlike the single-lens DJI Osmo Pocket 4, the Luna Ultra gives you:

  • True optical zoom without quality loss
  • Better low-light performance and depth of field control
  • More accurate stereo depth mapping for portraits and subject isolation
  • Leica co-engineered color science (natural skin tones + excellent micro-contrast)

This is exactly why the portrait sample above looks so cinematic.

Insta360 Luna Ultra vs DJI Osmo Pocket 4 — Quick Comparison

  • Optical Zoom & Depth: Luna Ultra wins with dual lenses
  • Sensor Size: Luna Ultra’s 1-inch main sensor beats most competitors
  • Portrait Performance: Luna Ultra’s depth profile is a clear step up
  • Stabilization: Both excellent, but Insta360’s new gimbal + modular design adds flexibility
  • Color Science: Leica tuning gives Luna Ultra a more filmic, flattering look

The Insta360 Luna Ultra is shaping up to be one of the most exciting pocket gimbal cameras of 2026. Between the Leica dual-lens system, massive 1-inch sensor, 10-bit iLog workflow, and real optical depth capabilities, it’s delivering exactly what creators have been asking for.

We’ll be updating this article with full review samples, pricing, and availability as soon as they drop. Stay tuned!

DJI Osmo Mobile 8P + Osmo FrameTap Unboxing and Hands-On Review

DJI osmo Mobile 8P gimbal and DJI Frame Tap Image

The DJI Osmo Mobile 8P Gimbal is about to arrive, and the announcement is imminent. Most importantly, this new gimbal is coming with a breakthrough technology. Specifically, if we talk about Osmo FrameTap, which is associated with a magnetic touch with the gimbal. It allows you to control the Osmo Mobile 8P gimbal remotely from a distance with a live display unit, which will have synchronicity with a smartphone live recording, so this is one of the best professional gimbals that DJI has ever created for content creators.

Just before the official announcement of the DJI Osmo Mobile 8P Gimbal, we have the unboxing video of the gimbal clearly showing what you are getting inside the box when you are purchasing the Osmo Mobile 8P Gimbal. Along with that, we also get to see the basic functionality of the FrameTap and how it works, so let’s explore the Osmo Mobile 8P first unboxing video and the basic functionality of the FrameTap.

DJI Frame Tap Image

Biggest Highlight: Osmo FrameTap Detachable Magnetic Remote

I have to say one of the major stars of the show is the Osmo FrameTap. Yes, we have seen many of the DJI gimbals before, and I was never so excited when we first heard the news when the Mobile 8P was registered at the FCC ID back in 2025. Alongside that, FrameTap was also registered, and we had clearly told in our public post that FrameTap is coming to control most of the DJI gear remotely, and it will be an excellent tool, or better to say, a remote control for the DJI ecosystem.

The Frame tap can wirelessly control framing, tracking, and recording from up to 10 meters away while seeing exactly what your phone’s camera sees.

Key Features Shown in the DJI Osmo Mobile 8P Hands-On

  • Osmo FrameTap – Detachable wireless remote with live-view screen and tap-to-track
  • ActiveTrack 8.0 — Much improved AI subject tracking even in crowds
  • Up to 10-hour battery life with reverse charging
  • 3-axis mechanical stabilization
  • Built-in extension rod, tripod, and fill light
  • Wide phone compatibility (170–300g)

Watch the full DJI Osmo Mobile 8P unboxing video below:

DJI Pocket 4 Pro: New Creator Meetup Close-Up Images Leak – Updated Launch Timeline

Canon R6 V Full Specs Leaked: 7K RAW Open Gate, Active Cooling & $2499 Price

DJI Pocket 4 Pro: New Creator Meetup Close-Up Images Leak - Updated Launch Timeline

Main features image of pocket 4 pro

Just seven days after our exclusive photo shoot leaked on April 27 and was published on our website, we have now received some of the clearest images yet from the creator event that recently took place somewhere in mainland China. It was a warm-up session for influencers and creators to get hands-on experience with the product and create content ahead of its official release.

The new images confirm the vertical dual-camera design that has everyone talking: a 1-inch main sensor paired with a dedicated 3x optical telephoto lens. This is a massive upgrade over the standard Osmo Pocket 4.

New Close-Up Images from DJI Pocket 4 Pro Creator Meetup

These shots were captured during hands-on testing sessions and give us the best look yet at the device’s build quality and ergonomics:

Yes, we also have a 2nd teaser video for the Pocket 4 Pro camera, which is approx. a polished 26-second teaser video on our X account showing the Pocket 4 Pro in cinematic lifestyle footage, with HEX colour codes highlighting its 10-bit colour science.

Important Launch Timeline Update (May 7 Clarified)

Be aware of the Fake news, Many websites (including PhotoRumors) previously reported a May 7 announcement. That date is now confirmed to be for the DJI Osmo Mobile 8P smartphone gimbal (“Wonders in Your Palm” event).

For the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pro, the latest consensus from reliable sources points to:

  • Announcement → Late May or early June 2026
  • First availability → China first, followed by global rollout

This staggered release strategy allows DJI to give the standard Pocket 4 its full spotlight before launching the premium dual-lens Pro model.

Will the DJI Pocket 4 PRO become available in the USA?

Yes, but with a twist. We do know that DJI FCC-approved products are also facing a lot of issues, even though they are not drones but only cameras. The pocket 4P (PRO) also cleared the FCC clearance before Dec 25, ban. But, still, we have no certainty over the arrival or sale of the Pocket 4 PRO camera in the USA.

But the best part is, we will be having the Xtra Mse Pro 2 in the United States of America, possibly at the end of May. So, Just hold your purchase and don’t worry about the Pocket 4 availability in USA.

Xtra Muse 2 Pro: Specifications, Pricing, and U.S. Arrival Date

DJI Pocket 4 Banned in the United States

Insta360 Luna Early Reviews and Hands-On Photos

Insta360 Luna

Insta360 Luna

 The Insta360 Luna is finally here, and we have the detailed hands-on images of the upcoming camera. Fortunately, we also have some early reviews of the Luna series camera, which have been added to this article and have been published.

But before jumping into the content and more details, let me clarify that Insta360 is one of the best handheld gimbal cameras I have seen since the DJI Pocket series. With the first announcement (yet to hit stores), they made a deep impact on the handheld camera world. And since the FCC certification for Pocket 4 and Pocket 4 Pro is pending for now, the Insta360 Luna will have more room to grow. Although XTramuse 2 PRO is also in the announcement pipeline, expected to arrive in May- June 2026.

Insta360 image

 

The Insta360 Luna is officially here — or at least its early prototype is. Fresh hands-on photos of what appears to be a pre-production Insta360 Luna (likely the dual-lens Luna Ultra or single-lens Luna Pro) have surfaced, giving us the clearest look yet at Insta360’s bold new pocket gimbal camera series.

Co-engineered with Leica and previewed at NAB Show 2026, the Luna series is shaping up to be the strongest challenger yet to DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4 lineup. These exclusive prototype images show the camera in action – screen on, menu visible, gimbal mechanism exposed — complete with classic pre-production white tape.

Here’s everything the photos reveal about the Insta360 Luna hands-on experience, specs, design, and what it means for vloggers, creators, and filmmakers in 2026.

 

Insta360 Luna Ultra Hands on image

First Look: Insta360 Luna Prototype Design & Build

The image not only gives detailed insight into the construction of the Insta360 Luna

Insta360 Luna Screen Menu Breakdown: Real Specs Leaked

One of the most exciting parts of these hands-on shots is the on-screen menu in Chinese, which gives us the first concrete look at video capabilities:

  • Aspect ratio: 16:9 (standard cinematic)
  • Resolutions:
    • 8K (likely marketing or future firmware — early hands-on videos mention 4K as primary)
    • 4K
    • 2.7K
  • Frame rates (highly competitive):
    • Up to 120 fps at 4K/2.7K (smooth slow-motion)
    • 100 fps options
    • Standard 30/25 fps modes

 

Additional Key design highlights visible in the prototype photos:

  • Rotatable touchscreen – A crisp 2-inch OLED display (estimated 1000 nits brightness from early leaks) that flips and rotates for easy framing in selfie or low-angle shots.
  • Modular gimbal head – The top module detaches or twists, hinting at the “Twist Modular Design” mentioned in recent leaks. This could allow for creative mounting or future accessories.
  • Leica-tuned lens housing – The top module proudly reads “DESIGNED BY INSTA360” with a distinctive blue accent button (likely power or mode selector).
  • Physical controls – Dedicated record button with glowing red indicator light, joystick-style wheel, and a textured grip for one-handed operation.

This aligns perfectly with official NAB 2026 previews: the Luna series features a 1-inch sensor, f/1.8 bright aperture, 10-bit iLog colour, and up to 14 stops of dynamic range. The 8K listing suggests Insta360 is pushing boundaries beyond the DJI Osmo Pocket 4’s 4K/240fps claims.

Insta360 Luna Ultra Early Reviews

The dual-camera version (Luna Ultra) includes a wide-angle lens plus a telephoto module for seamless zoom — early leaks point to 3x–6x optical/lossless zoom with variable focal lengths. The single-lens Luna Pro targets direct Osmo Pocket 4 competition.

Final Thoughts: Is the Insta360 Luna a Game-Changer?

Yes its without an donut. These prototype photos prove the Insta360 Luna is a very strong contender and an excellent camera. The visible 8K video recording capability was never possible with Pocket series cameras, even with their newest addition, the Pocket 4 camera.

The announcement is about to happen on May 2026, shipping details and pre-order links will be posted alongside the official announcement

What do you think? Will the Insta360 Luna Ultra dethrone the Osmo Pocket 4? Drop your thoughts in the comments.

Xtra Muse 2 Pro: Specifications, Pricing, and U.S. Arrival Date

DJI Pocket 4 Pro Photo Shoot Images Leak Online

Xtra Muse 2 Pro: Specifications, Pricing, and U.S. Arrival Date

Xtra Muse PRO 2  interesting move to capture the market. Overall, it’s to be expected.

This Pocket 4 Pro camera is about to arrive in the month of May or June 2025, as per the latest set of rumors we have, and recently we have also published the major leak of the Pocket 4 Pro camera, which includes its teaser video as well as a lot of images of the camera. Other than that, the big issue with both the new cameras, the Pocket 4 Pro and the Pocket 4, is their availability in the United States of America, since, as we all know, despite clearing the FCC registration before the December 25 ban, they are still facing trouble, and their recent FCC clearance is still in pending, according to DJI officials themselves.

The Xtra brand announcement done Teaser announcement on April 24, 2026, on their official Twitter and Instagram handles, it does confirms that the Xtra Muse 2 Pro is coming. And the best part is the image of the Xtra Muse 2 Pro looks exactly similar to the DJI Pocket 4 Pro camera. As we all know, the Pocket 4 series and other DJI products ( latest Lito drones and gimbal cameras) are facing hurdles in the United States of America, but thankfully, we have options like the Xtra Muse brand, which does give us an excellent alternative to buy those cameras that we love, specifically from DJI, under the Xtra Muse brand name.

So again, if you are willing for an upgrade over the Pocket 3 camera, not satisfied with the Pocket 4, or you are thinking that the Pocket 4 Pro is coming but you are not able to buy it due to the ban issues and all that stuff, then you should wait for the Xtra Muse 2 Pro camera announcement.

Xtra Muse PRO 2 image

Xtra Muse 2 Pro Specifications

Let’s explore the core specification of the upcoming XTRA Muse 2 Pro Camera for pro creators in the United States of America,  but before we jump into the core specification keep in mind the   the Muse 2 Pro (it’s still in the teaser phase), multiple insider reports, industry leaks, and direct alignment with the Pocket 4 Pro’s anticipated hardware point to the following key upgrades:

  • Dual-Module Lens System: 1-inch CMOS sensor main module (for superior low-light, dynamic range, and cinematic quality) + dedicated 3x optical zoom lens module — exactly matching the rumored Pocket 4 Pro configuration for lossless telephoto reach.
  • Video Capabilities: Expected 4K/120fps or higher, with strong rumors of 4K/240fps slow-motion support for ultra-smooth cinematic effects.
  • Stabilization: Advanced 3-axis mechanical gimbal (building on the current Muse’s rock-solid performance).
  • Screen & Controls: 2-inch rotatable OLED touchscreen with dedicated portrait mode for seamless vertical social-media shooting.
  • Audio & Features: 3 built-in microphones, 10-bit X-Log color, fast autofocus, intelligent face/object tracking, and likely expanded storage (rumors mention up to 128GB built-in).
  • Design: Ultra-compact pocket-sized form factor (similar to the current Muse’s ~140mm length and 180g weight), available in Black or White.
  • Additional Perks: Enhanced low-light performance, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity, USB-C, and full U.S.-optimized firmware with local support.

These specs position the Muse 2 Pro as a true pro-level pocket gimbal camera experience while keeping the fun,

Xtra Muse 2 Pro U.S. Arrival Date and Possible Pricing

Arrival Date: Xtra has officially confirmed the Muse 2 Pro is coming to the U.S. with the April 24 teaser and follow-up replies stating the full Muse 2 series is expected to launch in the U.S. around mid-2026 (June–July window most likely). Pre-orders or early availability could begin as soon as late May.

Possible Pricing: No official price has been announced yet, but based on the current Xtra Muse (which retails around $379–$419 on sale and originally listed near $699), the Muse 2 Pro is expected to land in the $499–$649 range. This premium-yet-accessible positioning would make it a compelling value compared to the Insta360 Luna series or gray-market DJI imports, especially with full U.S. warranty, support, and no import risks.

Pricing will likely be confirmed closer to launch, with possible bundles including extra modules or accessories.

Bottom Line for U.S. Creators

The DJI Pocket 4 and 4P/Pro are fantastic on paper and as an actual product, but we know the “pending authorization” means they’re simply not an option for most Americans right now. Xtra’s timely official tease of the Muse 2 Pro – amplified by voices like Quadro_News (obviously one of the most authentic sources) – feels like a deliberate and smart market move. It gives U.S. buyers the exact hardware combination (1-inch sensor + 3x zoom) they’ve been waiting for, without the wait.

Stay tuned for more updates coming

DJI Pocket 4 Banned in the United States

DJI Pocket 4 Pro Teaser 

 

DJI Pocket 4 Pro Photo Shoot Images Leak Online

DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pro has released a major new series of images today, featuring an extensive professional photo-style shoot with the new Pocket 4 Pro camera, with many influencers and models, specifically taking place somewhere in mainland China just before its official launch, so as we were expecting the Pocket 4 Pro Professional.

The leak consists of five separate posts (Parts 1–5) and includes approximately 18 high-quality real-world images — by far the largest and most detailed look at the upcoming pocket gimbal camera so far.

Pocket 4 Pro image

DJI pocket 4 camera images

What the New Images Show

  • Several KOLs and female creators are actively filming with the Pocket 4P in beautiful outdoor locations (turquoise lake with mountain backdrop + sunny rocky coastal area).
  • Testers using lighting tools (including a large reflector/umbrella) for professional-level shooting.
  • Group shots of multiple people testing the device together in natural sunlight.
  • Crisp close-up prototype views of the black Pocket 4P unit, clearly showing the “POCKET” branding, folding gimbal, and build details.
  • Side-by-side size comparisons with the standard Osmo Pocket 4 and Pocket 3.
  • One intriguing shot also includes an unidentified new DJI drone next to the Pocket series.

These polished “photo shoot” images confirm that DJI is in the advanced testing phase and has already brought in multiple influencers/KOLs for real-world trials.

Expected Specs & Launch Timeline

We have already discussed the possibility of its announcement sometime from May to June 2026. The Pocket 4 Pro is expected to bring major upgrades, including:

  • 1-inch sensor main camera on the right (promising superior low-light performance and dynamic range)
  • 3x telephoto lens on the left (enabling true optical zoom without heavy digital cropping)
  • Enhanced creative flexibility for portrait/vertical video, interviews, and cinematic shots

Why This Leak Matters

Seeing the Pocket 4P in a full professional photo shoot with multiple creators shows that DJI is treating this as a flagship product. The quality of these images also suggests the camera itself is performing very well in real-world conditions.

We’ll continue tracking every new development. As soon as official specs or a firm launch date drop, you’ll see it here first.

DJI Pocket 4 Pro Teaser Leaked

DJI Pocket 4 Banned in the United States

 

DJI Pocket 4 Banned in the United States

Dji Pocket 4 camera image

Is it true that the DJI Pocket 4 camera is banned in the USA? Just a few months ago, we saw that the DJI Pocket 4 camera received FCC approval for being sold in the United States of America. It has already received FCC approval, so why has it been banned or is it not available in the United States of America? In this article, we will try to find out the exact reason why the Pocket 4 camera is still not available despite FCC approval, and at the same time, the best alternatives that you can buy right now.

The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 has launched globally with impressive upgrades, but US customers cannot buy it through any official channel. 

Let’s see what DJI has recently said officially about the status of the Pocket 4 in the United States of America.

DJI’s Official Statement on US Availability

DJI confirmed directly: “The Osmo Pocket 4 will not be available in the US market at launch due to pending FCC authorisation.”

This quote comes from DJI spokesperson Daisy Kong and was reported by PetaPixel, PCMag, The Verge, Newsshooter, and others in mid-April 2026.

lSO, that’s really a weird thing that even after the approval of the Pocket 4 camera, even after having the registration of the Pocket 4 camera, qualifying all the rules just in time, and most importantly, the Pocket 4 is not a drone. Despite these facts, the Pocket 4 camera still faces issues when used in the United States of America, according to DJI sources. The FCC that was granted to Pocket 4 is now showing as pending. We don’t know the exact reason this was done, since it technically cleared the FCC before the ban.

Why the DJI Pocket 4 Is Blocked in the US

In December 2025, DJI was added to the FCC’s Covered List due to national security concerns. New products from companies on this list now face near-impossible hurdles for FCC equipment authorization – the mandatory approval needed to legally sell any device with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or radio transmitters in America.

The Osmo Pocket 4 is the first major DJI consumer camera to be caught by these stricter rules after the cutoff window closed.

Current Retail Situation for American Buyers

As of April 27, 2026:

    • Major US retailers, including B&H Photo, Adorama, Amazon, and Best Buy are not stocking the DJI Osmo Pocket 4.
    • Grey-market or third-party imports carry real risks of customs delays, seizure, or no warranty support.

What This Means for US Content Creators and Photographers

If you are in any state of America and planning to buy the Pocket 4 camera, obviously, it’s not a good time for that purchase, but again, we do have alternatives.

Either you can wait for the Insta360 Luna, or we have the previous-generation Osmo Pocket 3, which remains fully available, well supported, and an excellent choice for most vloggers and creators.

Xtramus is now fully compatible with the DJI wireless mic and is available at a lower price point, featuring the exact same core specs as the Pocket 3.

Can You Personally Import the DJI Pocket 4?

Technically, yes — US customs generally allow individuals to bring back up to three units for personal use when traveling abroad. However, you will receive no US warranty, official repairs, or software support, and there is always a risk with non-FCC-authorized wireless devices.

The Ongoing DJI Lawsuit Against the FCC

DJI is actively suing the FCC, arguing that the Covered List process was flawed and lacked specific evidence of a security threat. The lawsuit is still in progress with no quick resolution expected. Until the courts or policy changes, new DJI products with wireless features are effectively blocked from the US market.

Recommendation for newcamera.com Readers in the USA

For now, stick with the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 — it is widely available, proven, and remains one of the best pocket gimbal cameras you can actually buy in America today. We will monitor the FCC situation and the ongoing lawsuit closely and update this article the moment anything changes.
