A PRATICAL TOOL FOR MOBILE JOURNALISM
The Insta360 Luna Ultra offers several advantages for journalists requiring a fast, portable, and reliable video setup in the field. Its compact design features an integrated gimbal for stabilized footage, allowing reporters to start recording almost instantly without the need for bulky equipmen. The device boasts a dual-sensor system: a 20mm F1.8 wide-angle lens and a 60mm F2 telephoto lens. This enables journalists to shoot up to 4K resolution with up to a 6x zoom without losing quality, making it easy to adapt to various interview or reporting scenario.
HOW IT WORKS
The Luna Ultra operates as a stabilized handheld camera, but it introduces an innovative removable screen that serves as a wireless remote control. This allows journalists to mount the camera and control the framing from a distance, supported by a “deep tracking” system that automatically keeps moving subjects in focus. Audio recording is highly versatile; the camera includes three built-in microphones with a wind cover. Furthermore, it supports external wireless microphones that record in 32-bit float with noise cancellation, allowing the simultaneous capture of multiple audio tracks. To ensure reliability on the go, it features built-in internal memory, a battery that can exceed 2.5 hours of recording, and fast charging up to 45W.
PRICING
The camera is available in a standard version or a “Creator Pack,” which includes additional external microphones and a power bank. The overall cost ranges between €800 and €900, offering advanced video production capabilities at a price comparable to a single traditional camera lens.
