Insta360 Flow is a smartphone stabilizer equipped with advanced AI tracking technology that enables users to shoot smooth, stabilized footage with unmatched precision. Flow is designed to be an all-in-one smartphone content creation tool, complete with a built-in selfie stick, tripod, power bank, and cold shoe for a mic, making it convenient for creators to shoot pro-level content on the go.
“For our first smartphone gimbal, we wanted a device that goes beyond the basic functionality of a gimbal and offers a whole new way to film moments on your smartphone. Powered by our AI technology, honed over years of research and development, Flow tracks, stabilizes and edits content for you,” said JK Liu, founder of Insta360.
Unrivalled stabilization and AI tracking
With Insta360’s leading AI tracking technology Deep Track 3.0 with a 3-axis gimbal stabilization, Flow follows subjects in real-time, rotating to follow the movement of the subject and framing shots automatically for creators. It can track a subject in various situations, even in low light or while zooming.
With Deep Track 3.0, Insta 360 Flow users can expect the following technical advantages:
Deep Track 3.0’s unmatched precision is thanks to several 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. The flow will keep tracking it by zooming out or following the direction in’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.
The all-in-one smartphone content creation tool
Flow is a revolutionary all-in-one smartphone content creation tool designed with portability and versatility. With Flow, creators can enjoy a range of essential shooting tools all in one device for on-the-go filming. The device features a selfie stick that extends up to 215mm for better selfies and cinematic low-angle shots, and a tripod that extends from the handle, allowing creators to set up Flow to film themselves or capture creative effects like motion timelapse or 360 photos. Flow also comes with a powerful 2900mAh battery that can charge a smartphone while recording and a built-in cold shoe to add a mic for levelled-up audio without any additional accessories.
Flow unfolds easily in just one motion thanks to its 1-step rapid deploy system. To start shooting, simply attach your phone via the magnetic phone clamp, unfold the gimbal, and you’re ready to go. With iPhones, the Insta360 app detects Flow when attached and sends a notification to open the app to connect. Creators can enjoy quick, easy, and smooth filming with Flow.
Quick, easy, smooth filming
Flow offers full creative control to creators with the SmartWheel, which gives them quick, easy access to a range of useful functions, from shooting controls to video replay and more. Creators can toggle between four main modes: Auto, Follow, Pan Follow, and FPV. Unique to Flow is Auto mode, which automatically adjusts gimbal settings based on the user’s movements for guaranteed shake-free shots, perfect for beginners. For more adventurous creators, FPV mode can spin your smartphone and simulate FPV drone-like movements, such as a barrel roll.
Unlock creative inspiration and effects
Flow also offers AI-powered shooting and editing tools in the Insta360 app, including Shot Genie, which recommends shooting techniques based on the scene, and over 80 templates to follow, from filming the beach to a bustling city scene. Hoop Mode is a first-of-its-kind mode for basketball fans that track the basketball and hoop to recognize when a basket is made, saving the highlights as individual clips for easy editing into a reel later.
Flow features several shooting modes, including Panorama, TimeShift, Motion Timelapse, and Dolly Zoom, all accessible with just a tap. Flow’s 12-hour battery life means it can last all day without needing a charge, and creators can use FlashCut to edit together their video clips on the beat to music with seamless transitions and effects once the day is over. Flow is the first smartphone stabilizer capable of shooting 360 photos, unlocking endless creative inspiration and effects for creators.
