Insta360’s first compact steadicam, the[Luna Ultra](https://www.theverge.com/tech/947218/insta360-luna-ultra-dual-camera-stabilized-8k-telephoto-leica-us-availability-pricing), made a splash this year by beating DJI to launch with two lenses\. Now it’s followed the Ultra with a slightly stripped back[Pro model](https://www.theverge.com/tech/990340/insta360s-luna-pro-shoots-4k-vertical-video), which drops to one lens but has a unique advantage: it can shoot vertical video in 4K\. Plus, unlike[DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4](https://www.theverge.com/gadgets/920547/dji-osmo-pocket-4-review), you can buy it in the US\.
At its heart, the Luna Pro is mostly an Ultra with the telephoto lens stripped out\. It uses the same 1\-inch\-type 8K sensor as the Ultra’s main camera, has a similar design including the detachable 2\-inch touchscreen that doubles as a remote, and the same four\-hour battery life and NFC tag for quicker file transfers\. It’s a bit smaller and lighter thanks to dropping the second lens, but that’s about it\.
Insta360 has given the Pro one crucial upgrade though: it can use that 8K sensor to record 4K vertical video at 30fps, something missing from the Luna Ultra \(though I’ve asked Insta360 if we can expect to see it added in a firmware update\)\. That camera — like both of DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4 and[4P](https://www.theverge.com/gadgets/972456/dji-osmo-pocket-4p-review)models — is limited to 3K resolution when you record in portrait, forcing some people to hold the whole gimbal sideways to get the footage they need\. It’s a relief to see the Pro fix that omission\.
The Luna Pro is out now in the US for $599\.99, compared to $769\.99 for the Luna Ultra\. In Europe it starts at £469 / €529, just a little more than the £429 / €479 DJI Osmo Pocket 4, which is[\(officially\)](https://www.theverge.com/tech/981669/dji-osmo-pocket-4-pro-us-ban-black-market)unavailable in the US following a[ban](https://www.theverge.com/news/831241/dji-ban-us-trump-fcc-customs-import-ndaa)on the company\.
