Mikhail here from Drone Supremacy. It is not often that a company as well-known as Insta360 branches into a genuinely new product category, which is why I was so excited to get the Luna Ultra into the studio and start testing what it can do.
The big draw here is straightforward: this is not just another action camera with the usual ultra-wide look. The Luna Ultra pairs two different cameras so you can work with both a wider field of view and a telephoto option, giving solo creators a more flexible and more cinematic toolkit straight out of the gate.
Two Focal Lengths Make A Real Difference
The first thing Mikhail focuses on is the dual-camera setup. Instead of being locked into a single action-camera perspective, the Luna Ultra lets you move between wider and tighter views depending on the shot.
That matters because it gives solo creators more than the usual pocket-camera look. The telephoto side in particular helps create stronger background separation and a more cinematic feel, especially compared to footage that always stays ultra wide.
He also points to the camera’s zoom range as part of that flexibility. The Luna Ultra can move through several zoom levels while staying practical for everyday shooting, with only the most extreme setting clearly crossing over into obvious digital crop territory.
Ready-To-Use Footage Or More Room To Grade
Another theme in the video is that the Luna Ultra gives creators two fairly different ways to work. If you want something polished and punchy without much post-production, Mikhail says the camera’s Dolby Vision mode produces a richer, more cinematic look that is ready to use quickly.
If you want more control, the camera also supports Insta360’s flatter I-Log profile, including in high-frame-rate 4K slow motion. That is a meaningful option for creators who want to keep more grading flexibility instead of committing to a finished look in camera.
This is part of what makes the Luna Ultra feel more ambitious than a simple pocket cam. It is trying to serve both convenience shooters and people who still want a bit more control over the final image.
Low-Light Performance Looks Like A Strength
Mikhail is especially positive about low-light image quality, calling out the amount of detail, the dynamic range, and the overall look the camera can produce in darker conditions.
For a compact creator camera, that matters a lot. If the footage falls apart as soon as light drops, the extra focal-length flexibility becomes less meaningful. The takeaway here is that the Luna Ultra appears to stay useful beyond bright daytime shooting.
The Mic Pro And Small Design Choices Help The Ecosystem
The video also spends time on the broader accessory story, especially the Mic Pro. Mikhail highlights the microphone’s feature set, wind protection, internal recording options, and the extra customization possible through its e-ink display.
That may sound like a side note, but it is actually part of the pitch. Insta360 is not just shipping a camera body. It is building out a creator-friendly system around it, and the Luna Ultra seems designed to fit into that wider ecosystem.
My Read On Mikhail’s First Impression
The strongest point in this video is that the Luna Ultra does not sound like a gimmick. Mikhail presents it as a camera that opens up more visual options for solo creators, especially if they want something that feels more cinematic than the typical action-camera perspective.
He is also clear that there is more to test, including settings and comparisons, but the first impression is very positive. Between the dual-camera setup, the low-light performance, the flatter profile options, and the creator accessories around it, the Luna Ultra comes across here as one of the more interesting new camera releases in this space.
