Meet the New SmartWheel

Refined, revised, and sleeker than ever. A clearer interface means you'll know exactly what mode you're using, and the handy C button now makes fancy shots faster and easier! Try tapping it to toggle between barrel roll shots, new 360° pan shots, and more!

Designed for Creators

Pro level features and functionality were at the top of the list when it came to developing Flow 2 Pro. Here's some of the brand new additions.

Deep Track 4.0

It all starts with our new, upgraded AI tracking algorithm, now able to track subjects with precision like never before.

Want to capture the action at a distance? Try our new Active Zoom Tracking*, able to track subjects even when zoomed all the way in. Nice!

Filming with a group? Multi-Person Tracking** ensures your group never feels left out. Perfect for vlogging with friends or filming group dances.

Easier than ever to vlog with your whole group!

If you're setting up a cinematic shot, try our new Pro Framing Grid, available in the Insta360 app. When shooting, tap the overlay to intelligently position your subject using our golden ratio algorithm.

These shots make for great cinematic moments or storytelling!

*Active Zoom Tracking is available on Pro and Pro Max models from iPhone 12 to 16.

**Supported on iPhone 12 and later models. For specific Android model compatibility, please refer to the compatibility list.

Free Tilt Mode

A first for gimbals, extend Flow 2 Pro outward, then tilt downward, and you've got your very own crane! Try establishing shots where you pan upwards across an environment - people will hardly be able to tell it's been shot on your phone!

Solo Shots, Mastered

We listened to feedback from our original Flow and Flow Pro users, and have spent significant time optimizing the experience for those who are filming content on their own.

Upgraded Tripod

Alongside the new anti-slip design, we upgraded and reinforced the built-in tripod, opting for an all-metal design that significantly enhances stability and durability for outdoor filming.

New Selfie Mirror

Ever tried to take a selfie using your rear camera? You know how hard it is. Not anymore, though - Flow 2 Pro features a handily placed mirror built right into the arm.

Teleprompter

Livestreaming or planning a long shoot? Try our new teleprompter function in the Insta360 app. Pre-fill in your script or key talking points, and as you shoot, you'll have your script scrolling as you go. Handy!

Remote Control

Shooting with a friend? If you've got a second smartphone or Apple Watch handy, it's good news! You can now fully control Flow 2 Pro at a distance. Super handy if you're shooting solo or have your gimbal mounted and don't plan on repositioning.

Pan, track, and zoom in and out. Super seamless!

Cinematic Visuals

Worried that your footage isn't going to look good enough? For iOS users, we've got your back.

We've added full Dolby Vision support for into the Insta360 app, enhancing dynamic range and brightness of your footage. Higher fidelity, higher quality!
