So far, I don’t think I actually prefer the Luna Ultra to my Osmo Pocket 3! The second lens with 6x lossless zoom and wireless detachable touchscreen are very nice to have, letting me capture my daughter’s ballet recital and my dad’s wedding ceremony without leaving my seat. I could read the notes at my kid’s piano lesson from across the room at 12x zoom unlike the DJI.
But the Luna’s nowhere near as effortless to use. It’s not as compact and easy to grip, it’s so dang annoying to have to un-navigate a menu after you change each setting (you can’t just hit record to go back to recording mode), and most importantly, it’s even harder to tell if things are in focus on the Luna than my DJI. I’d rather have a sharper screen than a detachable one, particularly since the Luna isn’t quite as good at automatically choosing the right focus to begin with. I can generally trust the Pocket 3, but the Luna needs some more work.
I am finding the Luna slightly better at automatically tracking people, and the 47GB of built-in storage means no swearing when I leave the SD card in my PC. It’s clever how the extended grips include tiny fold-out tripods, too, and I’m looking forward to trying other useful accessories like a neckmount and an earpiece that rotates the camera to match your real head’s point of view.
