Do you ever shoot first-person-view (FPV) video content? Well, Insta360 has a new accessory that's designed to simplify the whole experience: the POV Head Tracker. And it might just tempt you to switch to the Luna Ultra.
The coin-sized 0.2oz / 6.4g device connects to the Luna Ultra compact vlogging camera over Bluetooth and, once paired, it synchronizes the camera with your head movement in real time, for what Insta360 says is "immersive POV footage".
It's designed to completely free up your hands, but goes one step further than a simple chest mount by synchronizing head and camera movement, so you shouldn't have to worry at all about composing the shot.

To me, the POV Head Tracker sounded like a dream accessory for shooting video solo — so I had to try it out for myself.

A game-changing accessory?
The IPX4-certified device measures just 1.0 x 1.0 x 0.5 inches and comes in a hard0shell USB-C battery case along with an ear mount, strap, clip, adhesive mount and motion adapter. It has has a 7-hour battery life — enough for a full day of shooting.
Insta360 also sent me a neck mount that's designed to hold the Luna Ultra. With the camera slotted into the neck mount and the POV Head Tracker in the supplied ear mount — which is right ear-only — I gave the combo a spin to see if it delivers on its lofty promises.
Setup takes a few seconds, via a simple device calibrate process: you look straight ahead for three seconds, then look straight down for three seconds. Done.
