Insta360 Luna Ultra 8K Gimbal Camera Now Available in US for $770
Insta360 has launched the Luna Ultra, a handheld stabilized camera featuring dual 8K sensors and a Leica-designed lens, now available in the US starting today for $769.99. The camera directly competes with DJI's Osmo Pocket series, which maxes out at 4K and is not officially sold in the US. The Luna Ultra targets content creators and vloggers seeking higher resolution stabilized footage without a dedicated camera operator.
Insta360 has officially launched the Luna Ultra in the US market following months of anticipation, initial availability in China, and a debut at NAB 2026. The camera features a pair of 8K sensors—a primary 1-inch sensor with a Leica Summicron lens and a secondary 1/1.3-inch telephoto lens with up to 12x zoom—mounted on a 3-axis gimbal for stabilization. It can record 8K video at 30fps with Dolby Vision support, capture 37-megapixel still images, and includes AI tracking to keep subjects in frame. The detachable 2-inch OLED touchscreen allows remote control from up to 66 feet away, and the battery provides up to four hours of runtime. Priced at $769.99, it is available through Insta360's website, Amazon, Best Buy, and other retailers in Cosmic Black and Stellar White color options.

πFS: A Satirical 'Data-Free' Filesystem Concept
A GitHub project called πFS proposes storing computer files within the digits of pi rather than on physical storage, claiming to achieve 100% compression. The concept relies on the mathematical conjecture that pi is a normal number containing all possible finite digit sequences. The project is a humorous thought experiment that highlights absurdities in data storage thinking rather than a practical filesystem.
