Insta360 Flow 2 Pro: A device to help you be in ‘ready, steady, shoot’ mode

It wasn’t that long ago that perfectly stabilized high resolution video capture used to be the preserve of dolly-mounted movie cameras in the hands of professionals. Now, even if you’re out running, hiking, indulging in adventure activities or, for that matter, plain old walking, the Flow 2 Pro can help make smooth panning shots and cinematic video effects accessible to everyone. And the coolest bit – if you’re running low on phone battery, the gimbal even doubles up as an emergency power bank via the built-in 1100mAh battery and keeps the show going. Control of the gimbal arm is via the joystick and the control ring, and the gimbal stabilizes in one of three modes: Follow, Pan Follow and FPV mode, but the device is also among the first gimbals to support Apple’s DockKit technology, which opens up native gimbal features across more than 200 camera apps on iOS, including the default Camera app found on all iPhones. Drag your finger across a person or object in the app’s live view until it is selected, and the Flow 2 Pro keeps the selection in frame, even if you move the phone and gimbal.
