Insta360 has launched the Luna Pro, a single-lens compact steadycam that undercuts DJI's Osmo Pocket 4 with native 4K vertical video and US availability.

The Luna Pro follows Insta360's dual-lens Luna Ultra, which debuted earlier this year. The new model strips back to a single lens but adds a key feature: native 4K vertical video capture, a capability absent from DJI's competing Osmo Pocket 4. While the Osmo Pocket 4 remains unavailable in the US market, the Luna Pro can be purchased domestically, giving American consumers a viable handheld gimbal option. The device maintains the compact form factor that defines this category, designed for creators seeking portable stabilization for smartphone-style content. Insta360 continues its aggressive push into the handheld camera space, leveraging both technical innovation and market availability to compete with DJI's entrenched position. Pricing and complete specifications for the Luna Pro have yet to be fully detailed, but the US distribution advantage addresses a significant barrier that has limited Osmo Pocket 4 adoption in the American market.
