We now know how the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P dual camera compares to the Insta360 camera

The Pocket 4P’s primary wide-angle camera features a new 1-inch 4K sensor paired with a 20mm f/2.0 equivalent focal length lens that delivers 17 stops of dynamic range. This is a small but useful bump over the cheaper Pocket 4’s 14-stop scope when taking shots with DJI’s D-Log 2 color profile. The Pocket 4P’s secondary camera has a much smaller 1/1.28-inch sensor with a 60mm f/1.8-equivalent telephoto lens with 3X optical zoom, 6X lossless zoom using sensor crop, and 12X zoom using digital enhancements.

The Luna Ultra’s primary camera features a 1-inch 8K sensor and a secondary telephoto camera with similar zoom capabilities but a slightly smaller 1/1.3-inch sensor than what the Pocket 4P uses. While the Luna Ultra has an advantage when it comes to overall resolution (allowing for more freedom in post-production when it comes to cropping or stabilizing footage), it can only capture 8K footage at 30fps, and 4K footage at up to 120fps. The Pocket 4P is limited to 4K resolution but at up to 240fps with its primary camera, which could make it a better choice for capturing slow-motion footage. Both devices can capture still images at up to 37MP resolution.

DJI includes 103GB of built-in storage with the Pocket 4P, which is more than double the 47GB of storage included with the Luna Ultra. You can expand the 4P’s storage with a microSD card, but with 103GB, you can capture more than 200 minutes of 4K/60fps footage, so an additional card may not be needed.

Both devices are almost identical in weight without the accessories, with the Pocket 4P weighing in at 230g, while the lighter version of the Luna Ultra weighs in at 233g. Each also offers advanced tracking capabilities including the ability to reframe and zoom to keep individuals or groups of people in the shot, but DJI has been improving the tracking capabilities of its stabilized cameras for a decade, and the Pocket 4P comes with the latest ActiveTrack/Smart Follow 8.0 technology.

The most innovative feature of Insta360’s Luna Ultra is the touchscreen and controls that can be removed and used as a wireless remote with live streaming previews. The entry-level version of the Pocket 4P can’t do this, but DJI is offering the camera for a JPY4,299 ($636) “Vlog Kit” package that includes the Osmo FrameTap wireless remote that was Presented with the Osmo Mobile 8 Pro smartphone holder Last April. Like the Luna Ultra’s remote, the FrameTap includes a touchscreen for determining what the camera should focus and track as well as controls for manually controlling the camera and recording.
