We go out so much to eat that our family and friends encouraged us to start blogging about our adventures.

For years, DJI’s Osmo Pocket had the category to itself but not anymore, Insta360 Luna Ultra has just entered the chat.

It’s got dual Leica Camera Summicron optics with a 1” 8K Sensor on the 20mm F1.8 lens and 1/1.3” sensor on the 60mm F2. With the 6x lossless zoom the Luna has a 20-120mm range that fits in your pocket. This will come in clutch for me when filming car rollers as I won’t need to drive the two vehicles super close now that I have more reach. Also if you use a lens attachment it can widen the range to 15mm.

The innovative detachable screen is a handy feature for solo creators like myself. I need my phone to reference my script and every time I go back and forth between apps it would disconnect me from the camera. Now I can just place the camera where I want and easily monitor the shot remotely.

The HD image transmission is good up to 20m for on-the-go control and monitoring. The remote even has a built in microphone to capture clear audio.

It got Leica colour profiles instantly elevate your work with little effort if you don’t want to deal with colour grading log footage.

I really wanted the white one so I can quickly tell the difference between cameras when I eventually get the Pocket 4 Pro as well but I needed to wait 2-3 weeks for it to arrive and I wanted to use it this weekend.

Some things I would like to see in a firmware update. Custom button able to toggle zooming between two ranges the user sets in a single click, and locking AF+Exposure.

Annual meet at captured with the NEX5 & 28m F/5.6.

Over 160 GRs registered with even more showing up unregistered. It was great to see everyone’s builds!

The TTArtisan 28mm f/5.6 lens is designed as a budget-friendly, modern homage to the vintage Leica Summaron 28mm f/5.6, replicating its iconic compact pancake style body from the 1950s. While the design closely mirrors the Leica original, the optical formula (7 elements in 4 groups) is newly designed rather than a 1:1 replica.

This was my first time to use this lens on an APS-C camera. The compact size is awesome and the lens has incredible build quality. Focusing mechanism is smooth to use and has a focusing tab.

After reviewing the images, I am impressed by this little guy and excited to see what their next street oriented lens will be. I love how there are Chinese manufacturers making the Leica M system a lot more accessible.

I held onto my A7S3 for almost 6 years before selling it.

This camera saw everything—late nights, client work & passion projects. This camera opened so many opportunities that I never thought was possible!

It’s proof that you don’t need the newest cameras to start creating.

I’ve held onto this for really long because Sony has no successor for the A7S3 in sight. The rumour sites never had any reliable leaks incoming so the value held strong.

Me selling is no indication that a successor is coming, I just felt like the technology in the entry level Sony cameras was getting too good. I thought I better sell this before their next entry level mirrorless surpasses the video specs of the A7S3.

Fortunately, I was able to used this camera for 6 years as a free rental. I only lost $30 on it from what I originally paid!

When I sold the camera it put me in a weird spot with no Sony camera bodies but I ordered something to hold me over for a few months. Unclear if I’ll keep the camera or not.

Can you guess what the next work camera is?

The 2026 QX60 gets a light refresh with a revised grille design, illuminated logo, and updated front bumper that looks lower and wider to align it more with the QX80. The Sensory trim has been replaced with a new Sport trim which we have here.

The interior is classy and client. One of the nicest cabins in the segment that isolates your entire family from the outside world.

The Sport trim adds dark styling with blacked out wheels but has no performance improves to the engine. Every trim is powered by a 268hp turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder and 9-speed automatic.

The “Sport” badge is doing the heavy lifting. It’s luxury first, performance second… distant second. Don’t go into this trim expecting any meaningful powertrain or chassis revision.
