Insta360 has announced Flow Pro, an AI tracking stabilizer for iPhones. It is claimed to be the first gimbal to utilize Apple’s subject-tracking DockKit technology.
According to Insta360, Flow Pro enables accurate tracking with the iPhone’s native camera, as well as over 200 third-party apps. With 3-Axis Stabilization, Deep Track 3.0, a built-in selfie stick and tripod, and new 360° Infinite Pan Tracking with an LED Tracking Ring Light, Flow Pro is being touted as a good solution for on-the-go mobile content creation, online meetings, video calls, and live streaming.
The Flow Pro hasn’t really been designed to work with iPhones in cages as it has a maximum payload capacity of 300g / 10.58 oz. An Apple iPhone 15 Pro MAX weighs 221 g / 7.80 oz so if you wanted to use it inside a cage with a variable ND solution then you only have less than 80g to play with. If you also shoot with an external SSD attached to your iPhone then you are going to exceed the max weight capacity of the Flow Pro.
The Flow Pro payload capacity means that Insta360 is targeting content creators and influencers who don’t use variable ND filters or record externally to SSD drives when shooting with smartphones.
The battery life is claimed to be up to 10 hours and it charges via a USB-C input.
