DJI has detailed its Osmo Pocket 4P, a dual-camera stabilized camera that positions itself as a more affordable alternative to Insta360's Luna Ultra.
The Pocket 4P carries a new 1-inch sensor with improved dynamic range and 4K slow-motion capabilities. It made a quiet appearance at Cannes last month before DJI launched it for preorder in China at ¥3,799, which converts to around $562. That undercuts Insta360's $769.99 Luna Ultra by over $200, though DJI has yet to announce global pricing, and the company has already signaled the conversion won't reflect the final number.
The Luna Ultra tops out at 8K video, a spec the Pocket 4P doesn't match. DJI is betting instead on sensor quality, stabilization, and price, which is a reasonable argument for creators who never output 8K anyway. A 1-inch sensor should also hold up better in low light, where smaller sensors typically struggle.
If the global price lands anywhere near $562, Insta360 has a problem. If it drifts toward $700, the comparison gets much less interesting.
