Insta360 just undercut its own ultra flagship with a Leica-branded single-lens gimbal. On September 10, 2026, the company launched the Luna Pro globally—co-engineered with Leica—at $599.99 in the US. PetaPixel and TechRadar confirm the cut: that is $170 under the Luna Ultra at $769.99, mainly because Pro drops Ultra’s secondary 3x tele module.

Specs that matter for creators

PetaPixel’s September 10 piece lists a Type-1 / 1-inch 8K sensor, a Leica Summicron ~20 mm f/1.8 lens, 8K Dolby Vision, 10-bit I-Log, and built-in timecode. A detachable 2-inch OLED doubles as a remote up to 20 m. Native 4K30 vertical video with 6K oversampling is aimed squarely at short-form creators who hate cropping a landscape master after the fact.

Colors: Cosmic Black and Stellar White, available now. Regional prices in the coverage: $679.99 CA, €529, £469. TechRadar’s hands-on review confirms the September 10 launch and US pricing at $599.99; always check the live storefront for your market before you screenshot a deal.

Pro vs Ultra—the honest trade

If you need the Ultra’s secondary 3x tele module, pay the $769.99 US sticker. If you want the Leica Summicron single-lens package, 8K, detachable OLED, and vertical 4K without the tele premium, Luna Pro is the global SKU Insta360 is pushing at $599.99. Rocks’ gadget read: hard multi-region pricing plus a named Leica optic beats another vague “creator camera” teaser.

Timecode and 10-bit I-Log are the quieter wins for multi-cam vlog setups; the 20 m remote OLED is the stage-friendly feature that will show up in every unboxing thumbnail. Dolby Vision 8K recording is the headline codec claim—treat real-world bitrate and heat limits as review-bench questions, not press-release faith.

For Rocks shoppers comparing gimbal cameras this week, the decision tree is unusually clean: same Leica co-engineering story as the Ultra lane, one less tele module, $170 less in the US, and immediate global availability in two colors. That is a sharper buy/skip frame than most September camera drops.

Availability is now in Cosmic Black and Stellar White, so this is not a waitlist tease—PetaPixel’s global launch note and TechRadar’s hands-on both treat September 10 as the storefront day for the Leica Summicron single-lens Pro.
