Today’s smartphone cameras are so good that you can be a content creator without spending thousands on a dedicated camera. The optical image stabilization they have is also very good, but you can capture more creative shots and shoot in more challenging conditions with a smartphone gimbal.

Insta360’s latest smartphone gimbal, theFlow 2 Prosmartphone gimbal was the longer handle with silicone grip on the front. The tripod was redesigned so that three metal legs extend down three inches from the base and then out to create a solid platform that holds my iPhone 17 Pro Max even when the telescoping stick, which extends out eight inches, is fully deployed.

means that more than 200 iOS apps work with the gimbal without any additional accessories, allowing creators to use their favorite apps with the gimbal as the on-site camera operator. I personally prefer to use the Insta360 app with the gimbal and that provides the ultimate experience with its Deep Track 4.0 tracking system, but the great thing about this kit is that Insta360 supports your own preferences.

The Flow 2 Pro provides up to 10 hours of battery life and includes a USB-C port so you can top off your phone and keep shooting for hours. The creator bundle also includes a small light that attaches to the accessory USB-C port to provide focused light in low light conditions. The Spotlight accessory is available for just $14.99. An AI tracker module, with an included light, is also available for $39.99 and it provides AI tracking in third party apps for Android and iOS users.

The Insta360 Flow 2 Pro is clearly optimized for the iPhone, but most core features are available on Android in the Insta360 app. The ones that aren’t available on Android are multi-person tracking, Active Zoom tracking, and smartphone remote control. If you want to use the Flow 2 Pro with an Android phone, I recommend the AI Tracker module to take advantage of Insta360’s advanced AI recognition algorithms.

from Insta360 to optimize your use of the Flow 2 Pro gimbal.
