Insta360 Flow: AI-enabled Smartphone Gimbal

Insta360 Flow

Insta360 just released their first gimbal, the Flow, which claims to be the world’s most advanced AI tracking smartphone stabilizer. Auto tracking enables your smartphone to follow you or your desired subject with unmatched precision, while 3-axis stabilization delivers ultra-smooth shots. Paired with a built-in selfie stick, tripod and power bank, Flow has everything a creator needs to shoot pro-level content on the go.

The Insta360 Flow gimbal weighs just 369 grams (13oz) and folds down to 79.6×162.1x36mm (3.1×6.4×1.4in), making it easy to travel with. It has a max payload of 300 grams and accommodates phones with a width of 64-84mm (2.5-3.3in). It is compatible with iOS as well as Android devices.

Featuring AI tracking and 3-axis motorized stabilization, the Insta360 Flow gimbal makes bringing your creative vision to life effortless. Whether you’re running after your kid or travelling to the next stop on your bucket list, Flow’s mechanical stabilization guarantees shake-free shots in any scenario. It excels where a smartphone’s electronic stabilization often fails, such as filming in low light and when zooming in. Flow’s stabilization and convenient handheld design also mean creators aren’t limited to simply setting up the device in a stationary position to track themselves. Creators can take Flow wherever their inspiration strikes, and always be assured of getting perfectly stable shots.

Smart in every way!

Insta360’s leading AI tracking technology Deep Track 3.0 enables Flow to follow subjects in real time, rotating to follow the movement of the subject and framing shots automatically for creators. Deep Track 3.0’s unmatched precision is thanks to a number of unique technical advantages:

  • More accurate: Person Re-Identification to continue tracking the same person throughout a recording even if they’re blocked from view and All-Angle Tracking to continue tracking as the subject’s shape changes.
  • More versatile: Zoom Tracking, Slow Motion Tracking and even Live Mode for tracking while video calling or live streaming in another app like FaceTime, Instagram and TikTok.
  • More reliable: Tracking Recovery for when a subject moves out of frame. Flow will keep tracking it by zooming out or following the direction it’s moving.

For a truly automated shooting experience, solo creators can even set up the tripod and use gesture control to prompt Flow to start tracking hands-free—no need to point the camera or press a button.
