Leica Glass and a 1-Inch Sensor
The Luna Ultra is Insta360's first compact gimbal camera developed in co-engineering with Leica Camera, with both lenses carrying the Leica Summicron branding:
- Wide lens: 1-inch sensor, f/1.8 aperture, 20mm equivalent focal length
- Telephoto lens: 3× optical zoom, 6× lossless zoom, up to 12× digital zoom
The 1-inch sensor is significantly larger than the 1/2-inch chips typical of action cameras and most smartphones, enabling improved low-light performance and more pronounced depth-of-field separation at close ranges.
Video and Photo Specifications
| Mode | Capability |
|---|
| 8K video | 30fps |
| 4K video | Up to 120fps |
| 1080p slow motion | 240fps |
| Still photography | 37MP |
| Panorama | 200MP |
All video recording is stabilized by the three-axis mechanical gimbal, working in combination with the electronic image stabilization (EIS) layer. The built-in four-microphone array captures directional audio alongside the video.
Detachable OLED Screen: The Defining Feature
The Luna Ultra's most distinctive hardware element is its 2-inch OLED touchscreen that detaches and operates wirelessly up to 20 meters from the camera body. When separated, the screen functions as:
- A wireless remote for controlling recording, zoom, and tracking
- A wireless microphone for capturing close-up audio while the camera films from a distance
For solo content creators, this removes the need for a separate lavalier or wireless audio system. The screen can be hand-held, placed on a surface, or clipped to clothing while the gimbal films independently.
DeepTrack 5.0 and AI Features
Insta360's DeepTrack 5.0 uses a triple AI-chip setup for real-time subject detection and gimbal movement. It maintains lock on a moving subject by simultaneously adjusting the physical gimbal axes and the digital crop zone. Additional AI tools include:
- AI Highlights — automatic selection of best clips from a recording session
- Scene Detect — automatic exposure and settings adjustment based on detected scene type
Build, Battery, and Storage
The Luna Ultra measures 52.4 × 169.9 × 38.5mm and weighs 235 grams — heavier than an action camera but a fraction of the weight of a mirrorless camera with a telephoto lens. The 1,550mAh battery provides approximately four hours of continuous recording; fast charging reaches 80% capacity in 23 minutes.
Internal storage is 47GB, with a microSD slot supporting cards up to 1TB for longer shooting sessions.
Philippine Pricing and Retail
| Bundle | Philippine SRP |
|---|
| Standard Bundle | ₱46,790 |
| Creator Bundle | ₱59,490 |
For reference, the official Insta360 store also lists USD prices ($764.99 Standard / $972.99 Creator Bundle), which at approximately ₱61.18 per USD convert to about ₱46,800 and ₱59,500 — closely matching the local SRP.

FAQ
Where can I buy the Insta360 Luna Ultra in the Philippines?
It is available through the Insta360 official store on Shopee Philippines and through 30+ authorized retailers nationwide. Visit the Insta360 website's store locator for the nearest physical retailer.
What is the difference between the Standard and Creator Bundles?
Insta360 has not published a definitive bundle contents breakdown in Philippine launch materials. At ₱12,700 more than the Standard Bundle, the Creator Bundle typically includes additional accessories such as extra batteries, a carrying case, or mounting hardware — check the Insta360 Shopee listing for the exact contents at time of purchase.
How does the Luna Ultra compare to an action camera?
The Luna Ultra trades action camera compactness for a larger 1-inch sensor, Leica optics, and a built-in 3-axis gimbal. It produces noticeably better video quality and low-light performance than a GoPro-class action cam, but is larger and heavier — closer to a prosumer compact camera than a mountable action device.
