Two of the available bundles are the Standard Bundle (US$599.99), which includes a Protective Gimbal Cover, Carry Bag, Wind Guard, 1/4" Thread Handle, and Wrist Strap, and the Fill Light Bundle (US$649.99), which adds a Mini Fill Light and Black Mist Filter.

Insta360 Luna Ultra

Luna Ultra takes the same streamlined gimbal experience further with a dual-lens 8K system, giving creators more flexibility to switch perspectives and capture everything from wide shots to telephoto details.

Its 3-axis stabilization, detachable OLED touchscreen, and creator-friendly shooting workflow make it equally suited to handheld shooting and vlogging.

The Insta360 app also makes it easy to transfer, select, and edit footage with AI-powered tools.

Who is it for?

Luna Ultra is the better choice for creators who want more lens versatility and telephoto reach. Its dual-lens setup is especially useful for travel, portraits, street photography, B-roll, and more varied shooting scenarios.

If framing flexibility and extra reach matter more than weight or native 4K vertical capture, Luna Ultra is worth the step up.

Bundles and Price

Starting at US$769.99, Luna Ultra costs US$100 more than Luna Pro, with the dual-lens system and expanded zoom range providing the clearest reasons to upgrade.

Several bundles are available for different shooting styles, including the Essential Bundle (US$859.99), Vlog Bundle (US$879.99), POV Bundle (US$864.99), and Creator Bundle (US$969.99).
