Insta360 Flow 2 Pro: Advanced AI-Powered Smartphone Stabilizer Unveiled
posted Wednesday, January 15, 2025 at 9:16 PM EST
Insta360 attracted a following among creators and vloggers with its Insta360 Flow Pro, an affordable and compact smartphone gimbal. The Flow Pro combined Insta360's impressive image tracking and automated content tools with an affordable yet simple handheld gimble.
Insta360 has announced a major product update: the new Insta360 Flow 2 Pro. The Flow 2 Pro features support designed exclusively for the iPhone; it is the industry’s first gimbal to integrate with Apple DockKit.
DockKit allows the iPhone to interface with motorized accessories and track people, pets, faces, hands, and other subjects. By implementing DockKit, hardware manufacturers can more easily create iPhone mounting solutions that automatically rotate, tilt, and pivot to follow subjects.
The Flow 2 Pro combines Apple’s DockKit with Insta360’s Deep Track 4.0, which the company describes as a “next-generation AI-powered” solution for the gimbal system.
The Insta360 Flow 2 Pro also supports Android without native DockKit support.
Insta360 considers this a “new benchmark for smartphone filmmaking” and says the newly designed hardware creates a more robust system. The Flow 2 Pro has a sturdier build, 360º panning, and a framing grid for easier content creation.
The Flow 2 Pro also has an integrated battery pack, a selfie mirror, and a teleprompter mode for live streams and studio use.
An Apple Watch or a second iPhone can control the teleprompter.
While many gimbals provide only image stabilization, the Flow 2 Pro and Insta360’s software allow capture in SDR, HDR, and even LOG for post-capture color management.
It is capable of recording footage with Dolby Vision and in Apple ProRes.
Insta360’s software has always been the best part of its lineup, and it looks like It is upping the ante with Deep Track 4 and Dock Kit.
The company is also releasing a magnetic mount for any iPhone with MagSafe, an iPhone cooling device, and a backpack mount.
