If Insta360 really surpasses DJI in the high-end pocket camera segment, will this be the first time in many years that DJI has lost its absolute dominant position to a new competitor?

The pocket camera market used to be almost DJI's private playground. The Osmo Pocket series has become the default choice for millions of vloggers, content creators, travel bloggers and users who love capturing high-quality video in a compact device.

However, 2026 is witnessing a notable confrontation when Insta360 officially launches Luna Ultra, the first gimbal camera model in collaboration with Leica with the ambition to compete directly with DJI Osmo Pocket 4.

Insta360 is attacking DJI's biggest weakness

The biggest difference of Luna Ultra lies in the two camera system.

Users not only have a wide-angle camera with f/1.8 aperture but also a telephoto cameraSupports zoom up to 12x, of which 6x is zoom without loss of quality.

This is a huge advantage for travel, event or outdoor vlog content creators.

Meanwhile, DJI Osmo Pocket 4 currently only uses a single camera.

Compare imaging capabilities

Luna Ultra Osmo Pocket 4 features
8K Recording Yes No
Dolby Vision Yes No
10-bit Video Yes Yes
Dynamic Range 14 stops Lower
Leica Color Yes No
Tele Zoom Yes No

This means Luna Ultra is capable of handling backlit scenes, landscapes and night shooting significantly better on paper.

Detachable screen makes a difference

One of the features most appreciated by the content creation community is the detachable 2-inch OLED screen.

Users can control the camera from up to 20 meters away.

For example, when filming a vlog alone, instead of having to continuously check the frame, users just need to look at the handheld control screen.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4 still uses a traditional fixed screen.

This is a small detail but greatly affects the actual experience.

Artificial intelligence becomes the new weapon

Both DJI and Insta360 are putting AI at the heart of their products.

Subject tracking technology

AI Deep Track 5.0 ActiveTrack tracking
Zoom by subject Yes Yes
Auto layout Yes Yes
Identify Yes Yes people

DJI has been famous for ActiveTrack for many years.

However, Insta360 is trying to surpass it with Deep Track 5.0, which combines AI zoom and AI framing more intelligently.

Sound for creative people tcreate content

Luna Ultra is pre-designed for the wireless microphone ecosystem.

This helps content creators connect faster and reduce middlemen.

For professional video shooters, sound quality is often just as important as the image.

Memory and battery

Luna Ultra Osmo Pocket 4 specifications
Internal memory 47GB 107GB
Support 1TB 1TB memory card
Battery life 4 hours 4 hours

DJI wins on built-in memory capacity.

Meanwhile, Insta360 focuses on camera power and scalability.

DJI is having difficulty in the US

The factor that can change the entire market landscape lies not in technology but in policy.

According to published information, DJI is currently unable to officially distribute new products in the US market due to issues related to device certification.

This causes many American users to have to buy through unofficial channels and face limited warranties.

Meanwhile, Insta360 Luna Ultra is officially sold at a price of about 20,000,000 VND.

This is considered a golden opportunity for Insta360 to expand its market share in one of the largest content creation markets in the world.

Up to now, Insta360 Luna Ultra has a clear technological advantage with a large sensor, two camera system, and zoom.telephoto and support from Leica.

However, DJI still retains the advantage of brand, accessory ecosystem and huge global user community.

The 2026 pocket camera war could be the most exciting competition since DJI created the original Osmo Pocket. If DJI soon launches the Osmo Pocket 4 Pro with a two-camera system like many recent rumors, this race could get much hotter.

Would you choose Insta360 Luna Ultra or DJI Osmo Pocket 4 if you could only buy one to vlog and create content every day?
