New Tracking Ring Light

Know exactly when Flow Pro is tracking. The new ring ligh blinks as it enters tracking, so you'll know exactly what your gimbal is doing without the guesswork or needing to stop.

Deep Track 3.0 with New Animal Tracking

Horses, dogs, cats! Flow Pro now recognizes animals, meaning you can make your next film all about your best friend, tracking them in full 360º.

The Classics Return

Flow Pro takes everything great that our first gimbal Flow built upon, and takes it that little bit further. If you're new to Insta360's gimbal universe, just with Flow Pro and your smartphone, you'll get better mobile shots, enough for most cinematographers!

3-axis stabilization means no more shaky footage, Flow Pro holds your phone securely and lets you focus on other important aspects of your shot. With the latest in AI, our Deep Track 3.0 tech ensures your subject stays centered and in frame, even through obstructions like trees or poles!

Use the SmartWheel to press and swipe to navigate through different shooting modes, or even zoom in/out with your smartphone camera. Once you're done, you can even use it to navigate your footage, no need to even touch your phone!

The smart Trigger Button allows you to start/stop tracking in a pinch. Flow Pro will automatically recognize the subject, and once you've tapped that trigger, it'll hone in and keep them centered.

All of this, with all-time favorites like timelapses, 360º panoramas, and so much more, in a pocket-sized gimbal you can take anywhere.

Time to upgrade?

If you're looking for the most advanced, intelligent, and user-friendly smartphone gimbal on the market, and you're running an iPhone... Flow Pro is the answer. Its new features and improved support for Apple make it the ultimate tool for content creators who want to stay lightweight.

Flow Pro is out now, check it out over on our Official Store or via authorized retailers.
