We go deep on the Insta360 Luna Ultra gimbal camera and discuss our experiences testing it hands-on. Will this camera earn a spot in our everyday carry bags, or is it more of a fun novelty? And is this the perfect camera for Lucas to capture slow-motion video of his dogs?

Note: Insta360 sent us a Luna Ultra for review. We also purchased a Luna Ultra ourselves from B&H Photo. No money changed hands, and Insta360 did not have the opportunity to listen to this episode prior to publishing. We strive to provide our most honest hands-on impressions of all products we review.
