LONDON, Dec. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The front cover of the latest World Finance magazine (Winter 2024–25) features Claudia Sheinbaum, the newly elected President of Mexico. The former environmental scientist, mayor of Mexico City and Nobel Prize winner, is well-placed to take the reins from her predecessor and set the country on a path to prosperity, tackling the budget deficit, trade and immigration issues, as well as the rampant criminal violence that marred the elections and which continues to plague the nation.

There is a special report on Big Tech and how moves are being made to break up these technology powerhouses, limiting their reach and control. After years of unfettered growth, the courts and departments of justice in Europe and the US are imposing regulatory crackdowns to ensure Big Tech does not break antitrust rules and hamper competition.

Another special report takes a look at the economic fallout from the global health crisis that took hold in 2020 and how prepared the world now is for events such as these, while World Finance also offers a report on the increasingly complex web of sanctions that financial institutions must navigate in the geopolitically volatile times we find ourselves in.

There is also a report on the market for sleep that has grown alongside the prevalence of wearables, and how a bad night’s sleep can impact not just our own health, but the overall health of the economy.

We also hear from University of Chicago sociologist Kimberly Kay Hoang, who discusses her new book Spiderweb Capitalism, about how the global elites move their money and work together for wealth accumulation.

There is a profile of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the former minister of finance for Nigeria and current WTO Director-General, as recent news confirms her second term as head of the Geneva-based trade body.

Additional topics covered in the Winter 2024-25 edition of World Finance magazine include; reforming the Bretton Woods institutions, Argentina’s libertarian approach, luxury yacht management, forest finance to mitigate climate change, innovations in sustainability, exploring the circular economy of cork, as well as the usual round-up of financial developments from across the globe.

Also included in this edition are details of the winners of the 2024 World Finance awards for
Wealth Management, Insurance, Digital Banking, Investment Management and Innovation.

To read all of the above, and more, pick up the latest issue of World Finance magazine, available online, on mobile and in print now.

Insta360 Previews New Luna Series and Major Updates at NAB Show 2026

Published

on

By

LAS VEGAS, April 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Insta360, a global leader in innovative imaging technology, today opened its showcase at the 2026 NAB Show, unveiling a range of new products, bundles, and software updates, including a preview of an all-new product line.

New Additions to the Insta360 Lineup

Members of the media and NAB attendees were among the first globally to preview the upcoming Insta360 Luna Series, co-engineered with Leica, which includes Luna Pro and Luna Ultra. The series features a large 1-inch sensor, a bright F1.8 aperture, a variable focal length, and support for 10-bit color for smoother, more natural transitions in light and shadow, capturing more nuanced and detailed color straight from the camera. Luna Pro features a single-lens design, while Luna Ultra features a dual-lens design and enhanced telephoto performance.

Luna Ultra and Luna Pro were both being teased at the booth, and will be available in two distinct color options.

GO Ultra Tadej Pogačar Edition Bundle

Also on display was the Insta360 GO Ultra Tadej Pogačar Edition Bundle, released April 15. GO Ultra is the company’s latest compact, hands-free action camera, designed to deliver smooth, professional POV footage in any scenario.

Developed in collaboration with Tadej Pogačar, reigning Tour de France champion, this co-branded edition offers an immersive POV solution that captures the intensity and perspective of elite cycling.

“Cycling is about pushing limits and taking on challenges. With Insta360, I can share our sport’s passion and excitement. I hope this inspires cyclists to capture their own journeys and memories,” said Pogačar.

Previewed at NAB, Launching Soon

In addition to newer products already available, Insta360 showcased several upcoming innovations at NAB Show 2026, offering attendees an early look at what’s next.

The company previewed a new wireless microphone, Insta360 Mic Pro, built around a more integrated approach to audio in modern workflows. Designed to fit seamlessly into how creators shoot and move, it features a Customizable E-Ink Display that allows logos, names, or visual elements to be added, making the microphone part of the frame rather than something to hide. Through Insta360 Direct Connect, the system integrates directly with Insta360 cameras, reducing setup friction and removing the need for additional devices in fast-paced scenarios. A three-microphone array, combined with AI-powered processing and NPU-based noise reduction, helps maintain consistent audio clarity across changing environments, while internal recording provides an added layer of reliability when conditions are less controlled.

Additionally, the Insta360 GO 3S Retro Bundle was introduced, bringing a film inspired aesthetic to the compact POV camera. The bundle includes a Retro Viewfinder, stylized filters, and tactile accessories reminiscent of classic cameras, while maintaining the portability and functionality that defines GO 3S.

An upcoming major update to Flow 2 and Flow 2 Pro was also showcased, enhancing Insta360’s pocket AI filmmaker lineup for both iPhone and Android users. Key improvements include native multi-lens support for flagship Android devices such as the Samsung S26 Ultra, faster 360 panorama capture, Dual View Mode, and Apple Watch control on iPhone. These updates expand access to hands free, cinematic stabilized shooting across platforms.
