News, deep dives, and analysis — every Insta360 story, newest first.

Jake Sloan takes the Insta360 Luna Pro to an Alaska glacier valley to test its 8K sensor, 2x lossless zoom, detachable face plate, built-in mics and low light.

Insta360's Link 2 Pro and Link 2C Pro arrive in Arctic White on August 27, 2026 at $249.99 and $199.99. Same sensor, same gimbal, new shell.

For Project Eternal, Mihail Svilenov flew the Antigravity A1 360 drone over Ovech Fortress in Bulgaria and turned a single ten-minute flight into an explorable 3D Gaussian Splatting model with Splatica.

Ray from DC Rainmaker spent six weeks testing the Insta360 X6 underwater, on the water, and on the ground — new 1/1.1-inch sensors, 8K50, 10-bit, InstaFrame 2.0, and the features that don't quite deliver.

Jake Sloan tests the Insta360 X6 on a car rig, in a helicopter cockpit, and deep inside an Alaska glacier ice cave — dynamic range, 10-bit low-light color, and 120MP photos.

Insta360's X6 arrives August 12, 2026 with dual 1/1.1-inch Sony sensors, 8K50fps and in-camera Dolby Vision at $699.99. DJI answers 23 hours later with the Osmo 360 II, on every storefront except the American one.

I expected a blowout between DJI's Osmo Pocket 4P and the Insta360 Luna Ultra. Instead, the real separation came down to D-Log 2, slow motion in log, two very different remotes — and where you can actually buy one.

Mihail Svilenov shares the exact Insta360 Luna Ultra settings he uses for more cinematic footage, including why he sticks to 4K, locks ISO at 800 in I-Log, uses ND filters, and switches to Pure Video at night.
