Overview
- On Thursday reviewers tested DJI's Osmo Pocket 4P and Insta360's Luna Ultra and found both use two lenses to deliver lossless optical zoom that stays high quality up to about 6× and can be pushed to 12× with digital extension.
- DJI's Osmo Pocket 4P stands out for motion work with 4K at 240 fps slow motion, stronger tracking that follows up to three people through the zoom range, a larger 103 GB internal store and faster USB 3.1 transfers and charging.
- The Pocket 4P's tele module is limited to a smaller sensor and D‑Log 1 color profile, which reviewers said reduces low‑light detail compared with the main 1‑inch camera that supports D‑Log 2 and an advertised 17 stops of dynamic range.
- Insta360's Luna Ultra focuses on resolution and creative tools with 8K/30fps recording, Dolby Vision, Leica‑branded optics, a removable two‑inch OLED that doubles as a remote and mic, and very high‑res panorama and photo modes, but reviewers reported ruckling when zooming during recording and tracking that strongly prioritizes faces.
- Beyond product tradeoffs, coverage notes a developing patent dispute between DJI and Insta360 in the United States and places the launches in the context of DJI's 2018 category lead and the broader shift to dual‑camera designs that bring smartphone‑style zoom to stabilized pocket video.
