When I started a YouTube channel back in 2019 it’s fair to say my audiovisual skills were sorely lacking. I could review and talk about running products all day, which is what my channel The Run Testers does, but when it came to recording sound and video, I struggled with anything beyond using my phone.I had to improve quickly, so I did, and I now have a wide array of cameras and mics I use regularly, but until I tested the new Insta360 Luna Ultra I’d never used a pocket camera with a built-in gimbal. Now I wonder how I’d ever do without one.The Insta360 Luna Ultra aims to beat the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 and DJI Osmo Pocket 4P to the title of best camera for content creators, with a dual-lens design and the ability to record up to 8K resolution video.Having not tested the DJI cameras myself I can’t comment on the comparison, but after using the Insta360 Luna Ultra as my main camera for a month of creating videos, I’ve picked out my main likes and dislikes below.First, some specs.Insta360 Luna Ultra: Price and specs
