This is my next vlog camera.
The Insta360 Luna Ultra, ₹85,990.
My Pocket 4 shoots one focal length from wherever my arm reaches. The Luna Ultra adds a second lens and lets the screen walk away from the camera.”
The second lens is the whole upgrade
The Pocket 4 gives me a 20mm view and nothing else, so every shot is me at arm’s length in front of whatever I’m talking about. The Luna Ultra puts a 60mm telephoto beside the wide: a tighter frame with real background compression instead of a crop. That is the one thing a pocket camera has never done for me.
The screen comes off and becomes the monitor
The front plate pulls away and works as a remote with the picture on it and a microphone in it, up to twenty metres out. Filming myself today means setting the camera down, walking into frame and hoping. This turns that into a shot I can see before I commit to it.
It holds up after dark
A 1″ sensor behind an f/1.8 lens, 10-bit I-Log, and a low-light mode reviewers rate above the phone already in my pocket. Most of what I want to film happens in the evening, which is exactly when a phone gives up and the footage starts looking like a phone.
DJI Osmo Pocket 4, if pocketable beats reach. It’s smaller, it holds twice as much footage, and it never asks you to think about it.
If you buy through that link I earn a small commission. It costs you nothing and keeps the picks independent. I accept long-term review units; they never buy the pick, and I say so when a unit was loaned.
