Good day, folks. Shawn here from Air

Photography. So, this is my beginner's

guide for the new Insta360 Luna Pro.

Now, I've already made a beginner's

guide for the Ultra edition. So, if you

are going to be purchasing it or you're

thinking about purchasing it, I will

include a link to that beginner's guide

down below in this video in the

description. Now, for the most part,

these beginner guides will be very

similar. The main difference between the

two cameras, the Pro model and the Ultra

model, is the camera. The Ultra features

two cameras. It has a wide-angle camera

and it has a telephoto camera. This

beginner's guide is geared to beginners

who have never used a handheld gimbal

camera like this before. We're going to

go over all the hardware and the basic

functionality. So, with all that said,

let's just jump right in and get

started. Now, when you purchase the

Insta360 Luna Pro, essentially, this is

everything you're going to get in the

basic package. You're going to get a

carrying case. You're going to get a

data and charging cable. Going to get

some documentation. There's some

stickers in there as well. You'll get a

cleaning cloth. You're going to get this

tripod base mount, which we will take a

closer look at how that works here in a

minute. And of course, you're going to

get the camera. Now, they do have other

packages available depending on how

you're going to be using your camera.

They have a blogging kit. Essentially,

you get the same amount of gear plus a

few other accessories. Now, all those

accessories can be purchased separately

later on. So, if you want to start with

a basic kit, you can always add

accessories on later on when your needs

change. Now, taking a look around the

camera here, at the front here is our

touchscreen. That's how we can power the

camera on and how we adjust settings and

get a visual preview. Right now, on the

side of the screen, or depending if your

screen is open, they'll be at the

bottom, but we have some customizable

buttons there and I'll show you how

later on how you can customize them to

do different things.

Below the screen, we have a joystick

that can be used to move the gimbal and

a few other things. And again, we'll

take a look at that as we go along in

the video.

We have our record button and our

shutter button, but that also doubles as

a power button. Off to the side of that,

we have a zoom control slider. Now, what

really sets this camera apart from many

other similar cameras is that this whole

front plate is removable. If you press

these two red buttons in on the side,

comes right off, and that allows you to

use this as a preview remote. You can

change all your settings and start and

stop recording while the camera is

mounted away from you. This also has a

built-in microphone, so you can use this

as a wireless microphone, again, if the

camera is mounted away from you. To

reattach it, just slide the top in

first, and then just press it down until

it clicks.

At the bottom, we have a USB-C port

that's used for transferring data and

for charging. There's a spot at the

bottom to attach a wrist strap, and I

should have mentioned that a wrist strap

does come with the kit as well. Over on

the side here, we have a place for a

memory card. Now, the Luna Pro does come

with 47 GB of built-in memory, but

you're definitely going to want to pick

up a memory card because 47 GB will fill

up fairly quickly. And we'll go over

that in a bit how to install that here

in a minute. This here on the back is a

built-in windscreen. That's going to

help cut back wind noise in some

scenarios, and it is removable.

It just comes off there like that. Now,

for the most part, you're going to want

to leave it on. It doesn't add really

any extra bulk to it. The only time you

may want to remove it is when you're

installing some accessories. This here

is their sliding case, and it actually

has its own built-in windscreen there at

the top.

And you do have to remove the default

one if you want to install this.

Just slides over the top there like

that.

Essentially, this is just kind of a

built-in gimbal protector. This is an

optional accessory. It allows you to

film handheld, and then when you're done

filming,

you just slide it up, and that will

protect the gimbal. And if you need to

reinstall the default windscreen,

it just pops on there like that. Just

make sure it's clicked in securely. Now,

no matter what package you purchase,

you're going to get this accessory with

it. Essentially, this adds the ability

to connect a tripod or other accessories

to the bottom with a quarter 20. Just

connects to the very bottom. Just make

sure you hear that click, so you know

it's attached securely. To remove it,

you press in that button there in the

front, and it comes right off.

And the reason you would install this is

if you want to attach this to something

like an extension pole or a tripod or a

bike mount or some other type of mount.

That just gives you that quarter 20 at

the bottom. On top of that, it does have

its own little built-in fold-out tripod.

As you can see,

these little metal arms fold out. That's

just going to give it a little bit more

stability if you have it sitting on a

table or a flat surface and you're doing

some hands-free recording. Now, it's not

super stable, but for most simple

scenarios, it will work just fine. If

you're going to be doing a lot of

stationary filming where the camera's

sitting on a table or on the ground,

you'll definitely want to invest in a

more stable tripod. Now, at this point,

we're going to talk about memory and

charging up the device. Couple things

you will need to purchase on your own.

For the most part, they don't come with

the kit. The first thing is is a USB-C

charger. The kits do not come with the

charging brick. That is something you

will have to provide on your own. Now,

most of us already have chargers laying

around from other devices, from phones,

tablets, or laptops. This here is a

charger for a MacBook, and it's fully

compatible. You can use it to charge

your Luna. If you have a USB-C charger

from a smartphone, again, you can use it

to charge your Luna. If you don't have a

charger, they can be purchased on

Amazon. Myself, I would recommend

getting at least a 45-W charger. The

other thing you're going to need is a

memory card. Now, as mentioned, you

don't need one right off the start.

There is 47 GB of built-in memory, but

that will fill up fairly quickly,

especially if you're filming in 8K. So,

you want a nice large memory card. This

one here is just a 128 GB, but anything

like a 256, a 512, even a terabyte is

fully compatible. You just want to make

sure you have a nice fast modern card.

To insert the memory, you just want to

open that flap on the side there, and

you want to have the graphic side of the

memory facing away from the screen.

You're just going to slide it in until

it clicks. And in the settings, you can

switch back and forth to the storage

location, so you can record directly to

the memory card or to the built-in

memory. And I'll show you how to do that

once we get into the menu part of

things. Now, to charge the camera up,

you can use the cable that came with it

or any USB-C cable that you prefer to

use. Essentially, they're all the same.

And you're just going to plug it

directly into the bottom. Right away,

you're going to get a graphic on the

screen. It's going to show you the two

different battery levels, because

there's actually two different batteries

on this device. There's a battery in the

handle of the Luna itself, and there's

also a battery in the preview remote.

The preview remote, you don't actually

have to physically charge yourself. It's

going to keep itself charged up when

connected right from the battery built

into the Luna Pro. If that graphic goes

away, you just simply have to tap on the

screen,

and it will show you again the charging

levels. You'll know that it's charging

because you'll have a lightning bolt in

the battery icon. Now, if you have that

tripod base attached, because it

connects to the USB-C port, it adds a

USB-C port there on the back. So, when

you're charging it, instead of plugging

the power cable into the bottom, you're

just going to plug it into the back

there. And as you can see here, you'll

get that same graphic signifying that

it's charging. Now, this here is very

similar to the tripod base. It's a

little bit larger. If you see look at

the two here, this one here is an

extended battery handle. And again, this

is an optional purchase. Some of the

kits do come with it if you get a full

kit, but if not, you can purchase this

separately. Essentially, this will just

increase your recording time. Just like

the tripod base, it has a built-in

tripod at the bottom and a quarter 20

for connecting it to accessories, but it

has the added bonus of having a built-in

battery, again, to extend your recording

time. And it attaches the exact same

way. You just connect it to the bottom.

You can see when I attached it, we now

have three battery graphs on the screen.

We have a graph for the Luna, for the

remote, and now for the battery base,

showing us how much power's in there.

And when this is attached, it's just

going to automatically start charging

the Luna. So, if there's power in here,

it's at 100% or 80%, it's just going to

automatically start feeding power into

the Luna, as you can see there by that

lightning bolt. You can attach it while

your camera's powered off just to charge

it up, but you can also leave it on

while you're capturing, and it will

continue to charge up your Luna Pro.

When it comes time to charging, just

like the tripod base, there is a USB-C

port on the back.

When we plug it in, that's now going to

charge all three devices. And this can

actually be charged independently. You

can plug it into USB-C. You can see we

get these LEDs around it.

They're an orange color. That's

signifying that it's being charged. The

Luna Pro features fast charging, so you

can have this charged up from empty to

about 80% in a little over 20 minutes.

The last 20% will take a little bit

longer. So, we've gone over all the

basics of the hardware, how to charge

it, how to install memory.

But before we can use our Luna Pro,

there's a few things that we need to do

first. We need to activate the camera

and we need to update the firmware. And

we're going to be using the Insta360 app

to do both. The Insta360 app is a great

companion for your Luna. Not only is it

an easy way to update the firmware, but

you can also use it as a preview remote.

You can control your camera and get a

live preview right in the app. You can

manage your content, transfer files

over, share your footage to social

media. But we can also use it as an

editing tool. It has all the tools built

right in to edit all your footage. And

we're going to take a closer look at

that near the end of this video. But I'm

going to walk you through quickly first

how to update the firmware. Now, there

are a few things we need to do before we

can use our Luna Pro, and that is mainly

activate it and update the firmware. And

we're going to be using the Insta360 app

to do both. So, to do that, we're going

to rotate the screen to power it on.

We're going to come to this screen here

where it asks us to set our language.

So, I'm going to select English, and

then I'll tap on next. And at this

point, if you don't already have the

Insta360 app downloaded, there is a QR

code there that you can scan to download

it. But I already have it installed

there, so I'm going to go ahead and

launch it.

Now, this next part could be a little

bit different for everybody. It may have

already popped up a box prompting you to

connect to the camera. But if it

doesn't, all you have to do is tap on

that camera icon at the bottom.

This is where it's going to be searching

for the camera. And as you can see here,

it's listing many different devices. So,

if it's not listing the Luna Pro, just

find it in the list here and then tap on

it.

It'll pop up a box saying that there's

firmware available for it. So, you just

have to click on start the download.

Once it's downloaded, it will prompt you

to connect to the Wi-Fi of the camera so

it can transfer it over and install it.

So, you just have to wait for it to

finish downloading. So, it's finished

downloading, but now before we can

connect, it's going to ask us to confirm

the connection on the screen. That's

just so random people can accidentally

connect to your camera. Once you've done

that, you'll get a pop-up box to join

the Wi-Fi.

Once that's done, you just have to tap

on update firmware. You can see there

it's transferring the firmware over to

the camera, and then it will just go

ahead and install. This could take

anywhere from a few minutes up to

several minutes. So, the the installed,

the camera restarted. Now, at this point

we do have to set our language again.

Now, it's going to ask us to activate

the camera.

And we get a confirmation there that

it's been successfully activated.

So, we're going to take a quick look at

the functionality now and go over the

menu system, how to change settings.

And we've already talked about this a

little bit, but to power it on, we just

simply rotate the screen.

And the camera's going to go ahead and

power on. Now, there's a couple

different ways to power it off and it's

going to depend on the settings. One way

is by rotating the screen, but we do

have to enable that in the settings. The

other way to do it is by using the

shutter button. That shutter button is

also a power button when you press and

hold. So, as you can see here, when I

press and hold it,

the camera is going to go ahead and

power off.

And even when the screen is closed, we

can use that shutter button to power the

unit on.

Just press and hold it.

And as you can see there, it went ahead

and powered on. Now, there is a reason

why you would want to do that, and it's

to do with the aspect ratio, and we'll

get into that here in a second, but

let's first take a quick look at the

menu system.

It's got a very simple layout. At the

very top right-hand side here is our

battery icon, showing us how much power

is in it. Right now, it's showing us the

power of the Luna itself, the whole

camera. But, if we tap on it, it will

expand and it'll show us the power in

the Luna itself, but also the preview

remote. The very left-hand side there,

it's showing us 35 minutes, and it's got

a little picture of the Luna. That's

telling me in my current settings and

current mode, I have 35 minutes left of

record time, and that the footage is

being saved directly to the internal

memory. If we switched over to the

memory card, there'd be a little graphic

of a memory card there. And depending on

your settings and the size of the card,

that number will adjust accordingly.

Might be kind of hard to see on camera,

but at the side there, there's a little

icon, and that's it to do with tracking,

which we'll take a look at here coming

up in a bit. The very bottom left-hand

side, there's a picture of a video

camera. That's telling us we're in video

mode. And again, depending on what mode

we're in, that icon will change. Down

here in the middle at the bottom shows

us our current resolution and frame

rate. That icon at the bottom right-hand

side allows us to flip the camera around

from front-facing to rear-facing. As you

can see there, when I tap on it, the

camera is going to rotate.

So, if you're doing some vlogging,

you're going to want it facing yourself.

But, if you're just filming out in front

of you, you can flip the camera around.

And you can actually adjust it in the

settings what direction that camera

faces at startup. So, if you're always

using your camera for vlogging, you can

have it face you automatically. Above

that, you can see it says 1x. That is

our zoom level. So, at 1x, that's the

the standard wide-angle view. But, we

can tap on that,

and that's going to zoom in to two

times. The two times zoom is lossless

zoom. So, you're going to be able to

zoom in two times without losing any

quality. But, we can tap it again, and

we can go up to four times zoom. Now,

four times zoom is digital zoom.

Insta360 is calling it a high-res

digital zoom, and it actually still

looks really good even when zoomed in

with that digital zoom. So, that's

really nice. It allows you to get a

little closer into the action.

Tap it again, and it goes back to the

regular one time zoom. So, it's a very

simple layout, but we do have some other

menus as well. We can swipe down from

the top, and this is going to bring us a

little deeper into some of the settings

that we can adjust. And if we take a

look at the top there, we have different

dots. So, that means there's four

different menu systems that we can swipe

back and forth through. As you can see,

I can swipe that way. I can swipe again.

Those are some of the most common things

that people change on a regular basis,

and they want quick access to.

If we swipe to the very front, going

that way, this is where we change

whether we're recording to the internal

memory or the SD card. You You see there

it says internal storage and SD card.

And I can tap on each one and switch

back and forth. So, if my internal

memory gets full, I can start recording

to the SD card and vice versa. Storage

management is how you clear the card out

if you want to delete everything that's

on it. Just keep in mind it will

permanently delete it, so you want to

make sure you have all your content back

before you format it. Now, I'm not going

to go through all these settings.

There's a few that we will be taking a

look at as we go along in this video,

but it's a good idea to go through the

menu there and see what's all there to

familiarize with some of the options.

If you want to go deeper into the

settings, this icon here will take you

in a little bit deeper. And to get out

of that, just swipe up from the bottom.

Now, there's another menu if we swipe

from the side here. From here, we can do

a few things. We can enable beauty mode.

That allows us to do things like skin

smoothing and tone. A lot of people like

to do that to just improve the image

quality a little bit.

We have some filters that we can set if

you want to get a little bit creative.

And then we can enable pro mode. Now,

I'm not going to go over everything in

pro mode. I'll just show you how that

works.

If you tap on pro, that's going to open

up some other options there

including being able to set a color

profile. So, if you want to do your own

color grading by filming in a flat color

profile, that's how you would do it. And

it also allows you to set things

manually like your white balance, ISO.

So, if you're a person who likes to

tinker with those types of settings,

that's how you would access them. But

for the sake of this video, we're going

to keep it basic.

We're not going to get too much into

that. Now, there's another menu if we

swipe from this side. That's basically

how we preview media stored on the

memory card or the internal memory. And

we'll take a closer look at that near

the end of the video. So, let's take a

quick look here how to change our

filming mode. As mentioned, if we take a

look at the bottom right-hand corner,

there's a picture of a video camera

signifying we're in video mode. But say

we want to take a photo or create a time

lapse or a hyper lapse. All we have to

do is simply tap on that icon, and we're

going to get this menu here,

which allows us

to cycle through all the different

filming modes. Now, I'm not going to go

through all of these modes in this

video. We're going to keep it very

basic, but again, it's a good idea to go

through them and see what's all there.

Now, another way to change the mode is

just by swiping on the screen from the

center. You can see if I do that, it

brings up that same menu system.

Now, to adjust the parameters of every

specific mode, we're going to use that

button there at the bottom in the

middle. And again, because we're in

video mode, that's going to adjust our

video settings.

So, if I tap on that, you can see we get

this new menu that pops up, and this is

how we can adjust things.

You can also just swipe up from the

bottom. Essentially does the same thing.

So, this camera is capable of filming in

8K at 30 frames per second. If you want

to film at a higher frame rate, you do

have to turn it down to something like

4K, cuz that will now allow you to go up

to 120 frames per second. For the most

part, when I'm filming, I always like to

film at 4K at 60 frames per second. I

find the footage just looks really good

with those parameters. The file sizes

aren't too big, and the camera doesn't

get too warm. And of course, you can go

even lower, 2.7K, or 1080, if file size

is a concern of yours. Off to the very

left of that is to do with aspect ratio.

And again, we're going to get into that

in a separate section, so we'll come

back to that here in a minute. So, at

this point, let's talk about how to

capture with your Luna Pro, cuz there's

actually three different ways in which

we can initiate a capture.

Of course, the most common way is just

by using the shutter button. Quick press

on it, and it's going to start

recording, or take a photo, depending on

what mode you're in. Press it again, and

it will stop recording. Now, the other

way to do it is by using gestures.

Gestures allow you to use hand gestures

to start recording, even to start

tracking. That can be really beneficial

if the camera is mounted away from you

or out on an extension pole. Now, we do

have to enable that first in the

settings, so we're going to swipe down

to bring up our main settings page.

Then we're going to swipe over.

Swipe over one more time till we get to

this option here called gesture control.

We'll tap on it.

We will enable it. And if we scroll

down, it's going to show us some of the

gestures we can do. If we show it our

palm, it's going to start recording.

If we give it the peace sign,

it's going to take a photo. So, once

we've enabled it, you can see we get

this new icon on the screen just

signifying that it's been enabled. And

now all we have to do is hold out our

palm or give it the peace sign, and it

will take a photo or start recording

video. And again, if it's not something

you're going to use, you can go back in

and disable it. Now, the third way to

capture is something called quick

capture. And we do have to enable that

again.

So, I'm going to scroll down to bring up

our menu system. You can see right there

at the main page, we have something

called quick capture.

If we tap on it, there's two different

ways in which we can enable quick

capture. One is by rotating the screen,

so when we rotate the screen to power it

on, the camera will automatically start

recording. And the other is using that

accessory that I showed you, that

sliding protective case.

You can enable it that when you slide

the case down, the camera will power on

and start recording. Now, I'm just going

to demonstrate this first one here

because not everybody's going to have

that accessory. I've just enabled rotate

the touchscreen, so I'm going to power

the camera off here.

And what's going to happen now is when I

rotate the screen to power the camera

on, it's going to automatically and very

quickly start recording. And that can be

beneficial when you don't know when

something's about to happen. You can

easily just rotate the screen. You don't

have to worry about powering it on,

hitting the record button. Just going to

do it automatically.

As you can see there, it powered on very

quickly and it just went ahead and

started recording. Now, that's not

something you're going to want to have

on all the time because every time you

power your camera on, it's going to

start recording, which isn't always

convenient. You don't always want that.

So, that's something you may only turn

on once in a while when you think you're

going to make use of it. Now, let's go

ahead here and we'll take a look at the

functionality of these buttons. The

first button we'll take a look at is the

joystick

that is our gimbal control and it can do

a few other things as well.

Most basically, it's going to be used

for angling your gimbal. You can see I

can go from side to side.

I can go down and I can go up. Now, it

also is a button. We can do a single

press, a double press, and a triple

press on it. A single press will start

tracking an object.

You can see there, I pressed it and it's

tried to lock on to something. Now,

there's nothing really there, so it's

just kind of locked on to the wall, but

it's actually going to stay locked on to

that point now.

And another single press will end the

tracking.

Now, if you had something of interest

out in front of you, a person, a pet, a

statue, it would lock on to that and

keep the camera locked on to it no

matter which way you moved.

The other thing we can do with it is a

double press

and what that's going to do is just

recenter the camera. So, say I have the

camera pointed like that, it's not

straight anymore, I just want a quick

way to straighten it, just a double

press on it.

You can see there, it's now facing

forward again.

And the other thing you can do with it

is a triple press and essentially that

works the same as that button there at

the bottom right hand side. It's going

to rotate the camera from front facing

to rear facing. As you can see here,

when I triple press it,

the camera is going to rotate. Another

triple press and it will rotate back.

Now, the next button here is to do with

zooming. That's how we can adjust the

zoom level. Now, there's actually two

different ways in which we can adjust

zoom. Now, as mentioned, we can also use

that button there on the side of the

screen in the middle.

Right now, it's at one times. Touch it

again, goes to two times zoom. Touch it

again, goes to four times. And again,

back to one times. We can actually press

and hold it as well.

And that's going to allow us to do two

different things. It's going to allow us

to zoom in a little bit smoother

instead of jumping from one times to two

times.

You can ease it in a little slower.

But, it also allows you to set a zoom

level in between. So, for example, there

I have a zoom level of 1.4.

So, again, that's going to boil down to

personal preference on what you prefer.

But, we can also do the same with this

button here.

And again, it functions in two different

ways. Quick press on it will jump to two

times

and then to the four times. Pull it

back, it'll go back to two times, and

then back to one times. But, if we press

and hold,

you can see it'll do it a little bit

smoother.

And again, we can go in between if you

want something that's not exactly two

times or four times. And you can set the

speed of that zoom in the settings. So,

if you want it to zoom in even slower

because you find it's still a little too

fast, if we swipe down to bring up our

menu system,

tap on this button here to go a little

bit deeper into our settings.

We're going to scroll down

till we see the option zoom speed. Right

now, it's set to medium,

but we can set it to fast or we can set

it to slow. So again, that's going to

boil down to personal preference. Now,

as mentioned earlier on in this video,

we have two buttons there right under

the screen. And by default, they already

have some pre-made settings attached to

them, but we can customize them in the

settings. By default, this one here, if

we press it, it's going to rotate the

screen.

So, it does the same thing as that

button down there at the bottom

right-hand side. And this one is going

to bring up the filters that we took a

look at from the side menu.

You can see if I touch it, you can see

it allows us to cycle through some of

the different filters.

But as mentioned, those are

customizable. So, to customize them,

we're going to swipe down to bring up

our menu.

We will swipe over.

And you can see here there's an option

for custom buttons.

We can customize the right one, and we

can customize the left one. And we can

actually customize them for a single

press and a double press.

So, if I want to adjust it so a single

press will adjust the EV, which will

darken it or

brighten it a little bit.

You can see it now brings up the menu

where I can darken the image a bit

or brighten it if I find it's a little

under exposed. So, at this point, let's

talk about capturing in vertical and

customizing how it all works because

there's a few different ways in which we

can film in vertical, the way we can set

it,

and we can set the behavior of this

rotating screen. Now, the easiest way to

capture vertical is just by rotating the

screen. Now, depending on how your

settings are set, everybody's might be a

little bit different. Like right now, if

I rotate the screen,

you can see the camera went ahead and

powered off. That's because it's set to

that in the settings. So, if we bring up

our settings here

and we go a little bit deeper by tapping

that icon there,

that screen rotation operation, the very

first setting, right now it's set to

power off.

But I'm going to turn it back to keep

powered on. And now you're going to

notice when I rotate it,

it stayed powered on, but it's now going

to be filming in a vertical format. So,

if you're filming vertical content for a

short-form platforms, that is easiest

way to do it. Then if you want want go

back to filming wide screen,

more traditional video, again, you just

have to flip the screen. If you never

plan on filming in vertical, you may

prefer to have the setting set to it

will power off when rotated. Now, if

your camera is not powering off when you

rotate it, there's one other setting

that could be affecting that. If we

swipe down, you can see we have this

icon here. If we take a close look at

the icon, we have a horizontal image,

and then behind that we have a vertical

image with an arrow. So, that's telling

us it's going to automatically switch

back and forth between vertical

and horizontal, depending on which way

we have the screen orientated.

But, if we tap on that,

you could see I've put it into landscape

mode. So, now if I rotate the screen,

it's still going to be filming in a wide

screen.

So, it doesn't matter which way the

screen's orientated, I'm always filming

in a wide screen format.

And vice versa, we can change that to a

vertical format. See, it's now going to

be automatically filming in vertical, no

matter which way the screen is

orientated.

So, again, you can set that depending on

what you're going to primarily be

filming in, or you can leave it in that

auto, and you know what's in the auto

when it has that arrow, that means it'll

do both.

It'll go back and forth. Now, going back

to that option where you rotate the

screen to power off, if you find that

it's not working,

it just does this, it starts to film in

that vertical mode, even though you have

the setting to set it to power off,

that's because this needs to be set to

landscape only.

You can see now that I've set it to

landscape, when I rotate it,

it'll go ahead and power off. So, it'll

be different for everybody, depending on

how you're going to be using your

camera. Now, as I mentioned earlier in

this video, this whole front screen can

come right off.

As you can see there, we now have a

wireless live preview, And everything

functions exactly the same.

We can use the joystick to change the

angle of the image, and that'll come in

really handy if you have this mounted

away from you.

We can stop and start recording. We can

zoom. We can even go in and change all

our settings.

Now, you may notice a bit of a lag when

you have it disconnected, but it's not

really all that bad. And it's still a

really convenient tool.

And you may have noticed there when I

disconnected it, we got that little

message at the top asking us if we want

to use this as a wireless remote. So,

you actually have to enable that,

otherwise it won't work. So, I'm going

to reattach it here just to show you

again.

So, if you watch here while I

disconnect,

it says, "Switch to touchscreen remote

audio reception."

So, you have to actually touch that.

This is now also going to function as a

microphone. The microphone is located

there at the top. And you know it's

working, it's been activated because we

get this new green bar at the very top.

It's basically an audio meter, so you

know that the audio levels are going to

be good. So, now this point we're going

to talk about tracking and how you can

enable tracking on your Luna Pro.

Tracking is one of the great features of

a handheld gimbal and can make it a

really valuable tool for solo creators.

Your gimbal can lock on to a subject,

either a human, a pet, or a stationary

object. Pretty well any object that is

moving or stationary that allows the

camera to move automatically. You can

have this set on a tripod,

and you can still capture some really

great shots. Myself, I have another

hobby of RC vehicles, and I use my

gimbal cameras like this to capture. It

makes it a lot easier. I can drive my

car and enjoy my hobby while I let the

camera do all the work. Now, there's a

couple different ways in which we can

enable tracking, and I'm just going to

use my plant out here in front of us

just for demonstration. When something

prominent is out in front of you, you

can do a single press on that joystick.

The camera is going to try and determine

what it thinks you're trying to lock on

to. And as you can see there, we now get

this green box. So, it is automatically

locked on to it. And if I move my

camera,

you can see here

it's going to keep it the plant in the

center of the screen. If that plant was

a moving subject, the camera would move

automatically. And to stop tracking,

again, we press on the button. Now, the

other way we can start tracking is by

double tapping on the subject. So,

again, we got the plant out in front of

us there. If I double tap it,

it automatically highlighted it. You can

see the green box around it. So, again,

it's automatically tracking. Sometimes

you have to do it a few times,

especially if it's a really small

subject on the screen. But for the most

part, it's very accurate. Tracking again

comes in really beneficial when you're

using the preview remote, and you're

still able to start your tracking right

from the remote.

As you can see there. Now, you're going

to notice here when I start tracking a

subject, we get a new icon that pops up

there on the left-hand side.

As you can see,

if we tap on that, that allows us to

change the position of which it's

tracking. You can see we have a 3 by 3

grid. Might be kind of hard to see on

camera there.

By default, it's in the middle. That

means it's always going to keep that

subject right in the middle.

But sometimes that looks a little

boring, or perhaps you're tracking a

person out in front of you, but there's

some nice scenery off to the side. You

don't want the person right in the

middle.

We can actually track from any one of

these green boxes. You can see when I

touch there at the top left-hand side,

that's where it's going to try and keep

that plant now.

Again, we can track from the bottom

left-hand side,

bottom right-hand side,

top middle.

So, it just allows you to get a little

bit creative with your tracking. While

you're in this menu here, selecting the

position, you can also use the joystick

and it'll cycle through the different

boxes. Now, when it comes to previewing

the content you've captured, all we have

to do is simply swipe from the left hand

side and that's going to bring up the

last content that you've captured. In my

case here, just a video inside here. You

can tap on the play button there and

it'll start playing the video. You can

delete it, but if you want to see

everything that you've captured, if we

tap that icon there, you can see it

brings up this grid view and it shows us

everything that's currently on the

internal storage and the memory card.

So, you can bring up a video, start

playing it.

You can use that slider at the bottom to

scrub through.

And we can adjust the volume by tapping

that icon there.

And as mentioned, if you want to delete

the file, just tap that trash icon at

the top right hand side. Now, you can

filter it to show you content from

either just the memory card or the

internal memory

by tapping at the top there.

You can see right now we have both the

internal storage and SD card selected.

But if we want to show content from only

the internal storage, we can deselect

the SD card and it'll show you just from

that storage location. And you can

filter it further by videos, photos, or

favorites. Now, I'm just going to

demonstrate here how to pair a

microphone to your Luna Pro. The Luna

Pro supports connecting one of the

Insta360 Mic Pros or their less

expensive smaller Mic Airs. Now, I'm

going to be demonstrating with a Mic Pro

here, but essentially it works the same

way if you're going to be pairing a Mic

Air. These can be purchased separately.

You can buy just the transmitter only

and that's all you need if you're going

to be connecting it to your Luna Pro.

You don't need the whole receiver kit.

So, I'm going to power the microphone on

by pressing and holding the power

button.

So, it's powered on now. So, now I'm

going to take my camera. Going to swipe

down.

Going to swipe over, and I'm going to

tap on wireless mics. And as you can see

here, it allows us to connect up to two

microphones directly to it. So, I'm

going to tap on microphone one. So, it's

now in pairing mode. It's searching for

the microphone.

So, we now have to put the transmitter

into pairing mode. And we do so by doing

three quick presses on the power button.

You can see that is now flashing. That

means it's in pairing mode. And in a

second here, you should see it connect.

And there, it's picked up the

microphone.

So, we'll tap on that.

And now it's gone ahead and connected.

If you want to pair a second microphone,

you would just go over to the side here

and tap on microphone two and follow the

same procedure. When this is connected,

it becomes your primary audio source.

And just like when we used the screen as

a microphone, we get this new audio

meter there at the top. So, you can now

pin this to your shirt or jacket, and

you're going to have nice high-quality

audio. It also comes with a windscreen.

So, if you're going to be filming

outdoors on a windy day, you'll have

nice audio with no wind noise. And a

couple of things we can do with the

microphone. If we do a single press on

the power button while it's connected,

you can see there this acts as a remote.

So, we can start and stop recording. A

double press on it will enable noise

reduction. You'll know noise reduction

is enabled when that light turns green.

You'll see here when I turn it off,

it goes back to blue. Noise reduction

will help get rid of unwanted noise if

you're filming in a busy street, a lot

of traffic noise, that will help get rid

of that, and it will help isolate your

voice. It's also good for indoor

recording. It can help get rid of things

like hums and fans. It's not something

you're going to want to use all the time

because sometimes you want that ambient

background noise, things like birds

chirping, water running, that can help

enhance your videos. So, it's something

you may not use all the time. The pro

microphone also works as a field

recorder.

So, we can actually press this record

button.

That's not going to start recording on

the camera, but what it's going to do is

record audio to the internal memory of

the microphone. That's one of the bonus

features of the pro mic. Now, at this

point we're going to take a look at the

Insta360 app, and I'll show you how to

connect it to your device and preview

your content, transfer content over to

your device, and how we can use it as a

preview remote. So, we'll start with how

you can use the Insta360 app as a

preview remote for your Luna Pro. First

thing we're going to do is power our

camera on. Then I'm going to launch the

Insta360 app, and this might be a little

bit different for everybody depending on

the last time you had it connected, if

you have multiple devices from Insta360.

For some people, it might prompt you

right away to go ahead and connect to

the Wi-Fi or to the camera. If it

doesn't, just tap on that camera icon

there at the bottom. And again,

depending if you have multiple Insta360

devices, it might be listing something

different there. Like for me, it's

listing the X6. All you have to do is

look for the Luna Pro down below that.

Tap on it. We'll then join the Wi-Fi

network of the camera.

And by default, it's always going to go

into the gallery. So, it's going to be

reading the content stored on the Luna.

So, to be able to use it like a preview

remote, what we're going to do is tap on

this camera again.

And there we go. You can see we now have

a live preview. Once we're connected, we

can go through, change our filming mode,

we can zoom in.

And we can go in and adjust most of the

settings right on the app. We can even

control the gimbal with this virtual

joystick.

So, again, a great tool if you have the

Luna Pro mounted away from you, perhaps

on the outside of a vehicle, or it's on

a tripod. At this point in the video,

I'm going to show you how you can access

and transfer the content from your Luna

Pro over to your mobile device. And some

of these techniques will also work for a

laptop or desktop computer as well. Now,

there's a couple different ways in which

we can do it, including transferring

just the files over to the device or

using the Insta360 app. Now, a very

simple way to do it, a lot of people

like this method, is just by pulling the

memory card out, putting it into a card

reader, and just plugging it into your

device. Now, the only problem doing it

this way is you can only transfer

content that was stored on the memory

card. If you have content on the

internal memory, this method won't work.

But, this is also a great way to

transfer content to a desktop or laptop.

Just plug it right into a USB-C port,

and again, you'll be able to access your

content. I'm demonstrating on an iPad

here, but this works exactly the same

way on a smartphone. Just plug the card

directly into the USB-C port. Now, on an

iPad here, I'm going to launch the Files

app.

And you can see there it says SD card.

If we go into it,

there's all the content currently stored

on the SD card. So, we can just transfer

it over. Well, what if we have content

on the internal storage and the memory

card that we want to get off? Well, we

can actually plug the Luna Pro directly

into the device. And for a lot of

people, this is going to be the most

convenient way because essentially it

works the same way. You just plug it in,

and it's going to read both locations.

So, I'm going to power it on here,

and I'm going to plug the USB-C cable

right into the bottom. And you're going

to notice here in a minute that we do

have to tell it what mode we want.

You can see there it asked us if we

wanted USB-C mode. I switched to USB-C

mode. When you do that, this camera is

going to power off. The unit is still

powered on, but you can now set your

camera down safely. And when we're in

USB-C transfer mode, we get both

locations listed there at the side as a

location. We have the internal memory

and the SD card, so we can browse either

one of those locations.

And again, there's all the content

stored on the internal memory. And then

I can go over to SD card.

And again, there's everything on the SD

card. So we can now just transfer it

over to our device, or just preview it

if that's all you're looking to do. This

works on a computer or laptop as well.

You can plug your device directly into a

USB-C port on a laptop or desktop

computer. Now, the last way to do it is

by using the Insta360 app, and this has

its benefits in the fact that you can

preview the content, and you can make

some edits to it before you transfer it

over. Again, this works on a tablet or a

smartphone. However, there is a separate

different type of app for a desktop

computer, but we're not going to get

into that in this video. So, to do it,

I've got my camera powered on, and we're

just going to connect to it like normal.

Tap on the camera icon there.

And I select my Luna Pro from the list.

We'll connect to the camera's Wi-Fi. And

right away, you can now see it's

displaying content from the Luna. And

it's actually listing the content from

the SD card. You can see it says Luna

Pro SD card. So if we want to go to an

internal memory, we just tap there.

Now we can see everything from the

internal memory. And we can transfer the

content in a couple of different ways.

We can do a batch transfer, where we

select multiple files, or we can do

individual files. If you want to do

batch transfer, all you have to do is

tap this icon at the very top right-hand

side. We can then just go in and select

the content we want to download, and

then just tap the download button. As

you can see there, we get these little

graphs on the files as they're

downloading. We can also tap up there,

and that's going to show us the current

state of the downloads. We can cancel

them or pause them, and it'll show us

when they're all finished. Once they're

downloaded, they're now accessible in

your device's camera roll or photo

gallery. Now, you can do one file at a

time just by opening up the file.

First thing you can do is preview it.

You can see there we're going to get a

preview. We can scrub through it. If you

just want to transfer the whole thing

over, all you have to do is tap that

arrow at the very top there.

Set the parameters of the video, and

that's kind of the nice thing about

doing it one at a time is you might want

to download it as a 1080 file instead of

4K. We can go in and set everything

before we download it. Just like when

we're doing a batch download, that file

will be saved to your camera roll. But

say we don't want this whole file, we

just want a small segment. We can

actually tap on the editor button,

and we can edit this file directly off

the camera. We don't actually have to

download it first. Gives us all our

editing tools there at the bottom. Now,

this isn't going to be an editing video.

I'm not going to get too deep into that.

But as you can see here, we can shrink

it down a little bit. We'll drag the

back and the front in.

You can see I now have a 15-second clip

instead of several minutes. We can set

our aspect ratio if we want to change

this to a vertical video. We can color

grade it, add some music, and then

again, when we're done, we just tap on

the export button.

And again, it will be saved to our

camera roll. So, this might be a great

option for some people because sometimes

our devices have limited storage. You

may not want to transfer everything over

from your memory card. There might be

just little clips, little segments that

you want. This allows you to go in, then

transfer just that segment over, and

that way you're not wasting space on

your device. So, that is my beginner's

guide for the Insta360 Titan Pro. If

this is a camera you're interested in,

make sure you're subscribed as I will be

doing other videos down the road. We'll

be doing more advanced tutorials and

techniques. We might dive a little bit

deeper into some of the editing features

and capabilities. And there might be

other videos about the Luna Pro that you

might find interesting. Hopefully, you

enjoyed this video and found it had

value. Thanks a lot for watching and

we'll see you in the next one.
