With the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 launching tomorrow, April 15, and the Insta360 Luna Ultra expected to arrive shortly after, the battle for the best pocket-sized gimbal camera of 2026 is just beginning. I’ve gathered all the available details to compare these two compact powerhouses and explore what they bring to creators.
For many years, Insta360 focused on 360° cameras (X-series) and ultra-light, thumb-style (GO-series) first-person view cameras. But after DJI entered their market segment, Insta360 was forced to strike back. They released their action cam-style Ace series and, more recently, the Antigravity A1—the company’s first drone and a direct competitor to the Avata360. Now, they’re pushing even further by taking on a new challenge: releasing their first handheld gimbal camera, a direct competitor to the Osmo Pocket series. As consumers, we ultimately win from this rivalry, as it pushes companies to deliver the best-performing gear at the lowest possible prices.
While the fourth-generation Osmo Pocket stays true to its predecessors with a single-lens design, the Insta360 Luna Ultra takes a bold step forward. Instead of focusing on 360° video, it introduces a dual-lens setup designed to mimic 3x optical zoom—much like modern smartphones.
Since both gimbals feature batteries with nearly identical capacities (1545 mAh vs 1550 mAh), their runtime should be very similar. Based on my experience, you can expect approximately 150–200 minutes of continuous recording.

Bottom line
Both of these gimbals are perfect for creators on the move. Their ultra-light design makes it easy to capture stabilized 4K video anywhere. The biggest advantage of the Insta360 Luna Ultra over the DJI Pocket 4 is its dual-camera system, which enables true 3x optical zoom.
