DJI Pocket 4Pro vs Insta360 Luna Ultra — the pocket camera comparison you’ve been waiting for. After 6 weeks of daily use across studio and travel shooting, here’s everything you need to know. This video is not sponsored. Just my honest take after weeks of side-by-side testing.
IDJI Pocket 4P highlights: LOFIC sensor for ~17 stops dynamic range, dlog-2 limitations on zoom, wireless transfer to iOS, 240fps slow motion, and a gimbal stability issue during vertical/extreme angle shooting.
Insta360 Luna Ultra highlights: fully detachable screen for solo shooting, 100-meter wireless remote control range, built-in LUTs, and why it’s become my go-to camera for content where I’m in front of the lens.

Should I do a comparison with iPhone 17/18Pro ? Let me know.
Great Info on both cameras! Looking forward to the baby from the Luna and P4! Would be the Perfect Camera!
Luna ultra for the win!!
One question, do you use dlog 2 and dlog together in your filming. How different are they in the color of the final output..
One of the neutrals videos I have seen so far. My decision for the Pocket was the slightly higher Bitrate…(120 the Luna, 180 the Pocket)
It’s fun to read through this discussion. Without a caption, 99% of people wouldn’t be able to tell which image comes from which camera. But with the caption, the 4p is better 🙂 And I guess so. In the studio. Outdoors, it’s not all that great. And that attachable controller with a display the size of a postage stamp—without basic function controls or a microphone—is ridiculous. The question is whether DJI shouldn’t rename the product “Backpack 4P.” The detachable camera isn’t pocket-sized; when you use it, your hands are full of accessories and the bag. It’s not a case of “pull out the camera and start filming.” And then there are those two completely different lenses. Using the DJI is less ergonomic and practical.
La de burradas que hay que escuchar en tú vídeo.
Aconsejas el D-Log 2 y das a la 4P la victoria por ello, pero expones que esto es un rollazo al no poder grabar en D-Log 2 en la segunda lente. Que por esa razón tu usas D-Log y no D-Log 2. Jajajaja, entonces, amigo, I-Log es mejor que D-Log. Aquí se nota que te han pagado o firmado un contrato para enviarte productos gratis de DJI. Además, si comparamos D-Log 2 con I-Log, la diferencia es mínima y en algunas situaciones es hasta peor.
Hablas de que te quedas con la Pocket 4P porque se puede encuadrar manualmente y dejarla estática CON LAS MANOS. Esto fuerza el gimbal el cual se anula por seguridad y tú lo recomiendas. Y por qué no dices que la Luna Ultra tiene un modo en su botón derecho personalizable que congela el gimbal sin necesidad de forzarlo, junto a un encuadre con gimbal mucho más suave que el de la Pocket 4P?. Porque DJI te controla con contratos que has firmado con ellos.
47 GB son suficiente para la mayoría de usuario, 110 GB es el doble de suficiente pero no es lo suficiente en ninguno de los dos casos para mí que uso memorias MicroSD de 512 GB y 1 TB, pues grabo conciertos completos en 4K a 60 FPS (más de 6 en algunos fines de semana). Y no, no busques en mi canal vídeos porque ni este es mi canal principal ni subo contenido de mis trabajos a YouTube en el principal (me pagan los eventos por el material, no por la difusión). Además, jamás tendrá comparación la velocidad de transferencia en una MicroSD que sacar los archivos desde la cámara (sin contar lo engorroso que es hacer eso).
Cuando hablas del 4K vertical, solo te centras en la Pocket 4P y te olvidas de dejar claro lo potente que es la Luna Ultra grabando 4k en vertical con solo girar 90 grados la cámara. Nuevamente se nota que solo quieres hacer grande a la Pocket 4P porque as firmado contratos con DJI. Si la Pocket 4P lo hubiese tenido, habrías hasta hecho mención de que puede grabar boca abajo, cosa que sí puede hacer la Luna Ultra pero que como no te interesa devaluar a la 4P, no lo dices. Esto, cada vez, hace que tu vídeo sea más vomitivo verlo.
great reviews and nice comparison.well done sir
luna detachable screen is very convenient, about the visual it's kind similar. if you pay only $100 more there is many camera that really gives way better quality. thanks for the video
Is this info current with the latest firmware update?
That was a great video, I have a pocket three that I’m looking to upgrade and whilst picture quality is my number one, the pocket 4p won’t be my upgrade because it’s only on the main camera, log 2 that is. It’s key feature is only half a key feature therefore I’d rather go for ease of use.
Looks awesome. Thanks for sharing. Currently testing it too. 🤗 Question: Does your luna ultra (and maybe the DJI pocket 4p as well) make a soft humming noise too (from the gimbal engine)? No reviewer talks about it, and with music/talking under a video I can’t hear it in any review video. But it’s definitely noticeable when alone in a room. I would just like to know what the default noise for this camera is? Because it might pick up on the mic if you come really close to the luna. Or another mic pick it up if you use a dual set-up with another camera. The internal mic from the luna itself is clearly compensating for it with noise reduction, making everything sound a bit muffled. I only get good audio from the remote control and the mic pro. Almost better sound from the remote than the mic pro! Lol. 😊 The go ultra from insta360 luckily is really quiet in all situations. The mic pro performs a lot better on that camera instead. Thanks for your review! 🙂
io le ho provate tutte e due ..poi ho scelto la luna perche’ il software e’ molto piu’ intuitivo e i tasti fisici aiutano molto ad esempio il
mouse nella dji va usato sia x lo zoom che per il gimbal e e’ molto scomodo cambiare funzione , inotre quando cambi focale il passaggio e’ molto evidente. il gimbal poi da spento balla molto e da acceso e’ pesante. la qualita’ video e’ comunque leggermente superiore e definita rispetto alla luna . la custoda per la dji e’ indispensabile ma con pochi dollari ne avevo comperato una perfetta.
Being able to lock the gimbal for static shots is such a simple but useful feature
Thanks for your nice job, and to be honest.
It helps me very much in my decision!
Persian audio track please ❤
i see a lot of tubers say that the luna is for run and gun but im a solo creator with the p4 and i really dont get the issues you are saying about the 4 p? i use frame tap which i think is a better idea because if you lose it you cans till use the camera ,
Luna Ultra Creator Combo = €889
while DJI Osmo Pocket 4P Vlog Combo = €689 and I personally bought mine from a store in Holland with a discount code for exactly €652 !
We’re talking about a €237 price difference.
And now comes the question:
Is what the Luna Ultra offers really worth €237 more?
For me personally, absolutely not !
Bro, which one better for live streaming using 5G connection to replaced iPhone 17 Pro Max? 😁😎 LMOA00O
oh my god, i didnt think of adjusting the head manually, that is such a game changer for me! Thanks!
As a regular Person, just take video for fun and post in social media ,I would choose insta just because of editing software,ease of editing and creating short vids easily.
I prefer DJI Osmo Pocket 4P. Thanks
i love your honest reviews, thank you so much! did you encounter any overheating issues with the luna ultra?
The Luna Ultra doesn’t do “Motion Timelapse” and no one is talking about it?
Really helpful
Very cinematic review!Excellent in all ways!
I love Insta 360 Luna ultra. I like the detachable touchscreen. It's a real game changer.
6:12 For the 4P, for vertical shooting mode, if you change the gimbal setting to FPV, the gimbal is no longer locked to 45 degrees
I noticed poor build quality on the DJI Pocket 4P, when you shake it, there's a rattling sound, unlike the Insta360 Luna Ultra, which has noticeably better build quality.
Wait… there's a "lock gimbal" function? 😂
Hey! Quick question—what ev settings do you usually use (0 or +1.3)? If you're using Auto Shutter, do you keep EV at +2? Also, when shooting manually with the 180° shutter rule (24fps, 1/48s), do you still try to overexpose for maximum dynamic range, or do you expose normally? I've heard overexposing gives the best DR, so I'd love to know your workflow for luna ultra.
I am between the Pocket 4P and the Luna Ultra, I just have one question though. Which has the sharper image? I see everybody saying image quality is better on 4p because of the dynamic range but I don't really care about shadows or exposure. Which has the sharper / better looking imagine in a studio environment with controlled lighting ? I can't seem to find anybody doing talking head videos with both of them and really comparing the image sharpness. I would greatly appreciate if anyone in the comments could help me out with their experience.
8:40 DJI actually put out an update that allows Dlog in 4k 240 🙌🏽
the video quality is soft
I don’t understand why we aren’t saying we can do everything the Luna screen can do on the DJI mimo app AND get better image quality/skin tones
Are you Team Pocket or Team Luna?
