By far the best tutorial I’ve ever watched! Your voice is so soothing and relaxing I swear you would be a great voice actor for sleep stories as well! I’d subscribe to that channel for sure! Keep it up I look forward to many more tutorials for the flow pro and anything else you put out!
TH-cam just show me your Insta360 Flow Pro video, cause I love that gimbal, and I have to say... your edition is amazing Simon! Love it.. Like and suscribed 👍👏
The best feature for any new iPhone Gimball is the ability, not only to charge the iPhone but to have an SSD mount on the Gimbal for data storage esp in Pro Res 😊
I have the original Flow which is great for my needs. Using it in Live mode enables tracking with other camera apps so you don't need the IOS NFC facility. Many complain about its limited tilt range, but my workaround is to use the gimbal sideways and when lifting/pointing up it uses the rotate axis to do the equivalent of tilting.
Great Video! I use the Flow creators kit from the first gen and just got this one off Amazon. Didnt know they updated it but love it for my work videos. its a VERY handy product
Great video thank you. Have you ever considered making a video using a gimbal filming an object? A static object as big as a portable speaker on a table for example
Always love your reviews, very comprehensive. One challenge I find with most smart gimbals and their software is the AI tracking isn't smart enough to position the face in the appropriate top third of the screen, they often put your face in the center of the screen which looks weird. Did you find this to be a problem with Insta360 Flow Pro?
Excellent video. Question: At about 15:40 when setting up a motionlapse, when selecting each waypoint, can the zoom level at each waypoint be configured independently? Thanks!
Hi Simon. Have you used an external mic on the Insta 360 yet? I bought a Rode Wireless Pro but every time I go to use it on the Insta 360, the audio sounds like it's just coming from the mic on the iPhone. Very odd. I connected all wires, so just wondering if it's an Insta issue. Phil
Can you tell me more about the size of the 360° photo? Is it any beter than an X3 or X4 regarding to resolution, stitching and exposure? Is HDR possible? Is it possible to save the pictures and to stitch those in another 3rd party program?
Hello, I have a question. Is it possible to record videos in HDR with the Flow Pro as you can now use the normal camera. With the normal Flow this was not possible or ?
At about 2:25, you mentioned you were using an iPhone 15 Pro. Just to confirm: Did you use the regular iPhone 15 Pro, or the iPhone 15 Pro Max? The reason I ask is that I have an iPhone 14 Pro (not the Pro Max) … and when I film with my 14 Pro's wide-angle lens in landscape (horizontal) mode using my DJI Osmo Mobile 6, a bit of the Osmo Mobile 6 itself is visible in the frame. When you demo'd using the wide-angle lens near the end of your video, I was glad to see that none of the Insta360 Flow Pro's mechanism was visible in the frame. (I have used my DJI Osmo Mobile 6 with an iPhone 13 Pro Max; when filming with its wide-angle lens in landscape mode, the Osmo Mobile 6 is not visible. Apparently that extra little bit of distance between the gimbal's housing and the camera lens on the 13 Pro Max was enough to keep the frame clear.) Anyway, I'm hoping to buy the Insta360 Flow Pro for use with an iPhone 14 Pro (not the Pro Max) and to use its wide-angle lens without this issue. Thanks.
But when using apple dockit feature, we cant record by pressing shutter button of gimbal which is frustrating for me, only should go to app again for using that shutter button to record, does the same happens to u? R some issue with mine?
The Flow Pro gimbal does not connect via NFC. I bought the gimbal via your link because I liked your calm and competent presentation. However, the use of external apps was my very first reason for buying it. I think I have understood and tried everything correctly. iPhone 13 with IOS 17.5.1. No other app open. With Bluetooth and without, with Insta360 app installed and without, nothing works. Incidentally, the Insta360 app works quite well on the iPhone, limited as far as the manual settings are concerned, of course. But even with the Insta360 app, the tracking doesn't work on my 2 Samsung mobile phones. Is there another secure tip for the NFC connection to the iPhone? As far as I know, this is permanently activated and cannot be set.
It does connect via NFC as I showed in the video. But you may be having some issues getting to work with your iPhone, these things happen. Here's some NFC troubleshooting tips from Insta360 to try: onlinemanual.insta360.com/flowpro/en-us/faq/wirelessconnection/nfc
The Flow Pro supports 360 Infinite Pan Tracking and the Flow doesn't.(as I saw from The Drone Tech's comparison video) Actually, if it is ok for you, can you make a comparison video(shoot it properly... from the perfect angle) of the Flow and Flow Pro while shooting a 360 panorama???... No other creator has shown the complete pano photo taking process on TH-cam, so, if you do I'll really be grateful.
I don't think the added features make it worth me upgrading from my current Flow. The only thing I would consider adding is probably the MagSafe mount, except that's an outrageous $24, so I won't bother with that either.
I can’t get an answer from anyone - perhaps you will. In your video I see a magnetic clamp for this gimbal. On their website or anywhere to buy the Insta360 Flow I see NO mention of this magnetic clamp, only the traditional claw clamp. Does that plate come with the insta360 flow? If so is it included with either bundle? Or is it a separate add on?
@@QuicknStraight yup, they emailed me a link. I ended up ordering it mainly for the advanced tags and quick setup. Tracking on native apps will have its advantages of gimmick variants like DJI and its smart watch capabilities.
I have a rode ME, I carry the transmitter, the reciever is on the gimbal connected with my iphone 15. But how, pls explain? Can the gimbal carry the extra weight and be balanced?
it's a little wobbly, but I've never broken one. Also, if you prefer you can buy mini tripod legs for about $2 that screw into the bottom, like other gimbals s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DlO0fjV
I bought a set of aluminium tripod legs to screw into the 1/4" mount on the bottom. Very sturdy and useful for a bit of added real estate for my big hands!
The handle is way too short, the extension too. And with a smartphone attached the too short handle causes pain in your hand. I tried the InstaFlow and honestly who did come up with that stupid design?
I've been using it for 6+ months and I really don't understand this problem! I've never had a problem with the extension, do you have weak wrists? I can't explain it any other way!

Agreed. I see no reason here to upgrade from by Flow.
Live mode on apps? Or on the instaflow app?
@@RobertoSacco-e1y This is the live mode on the Insta360 app (not the same as normal live mode). I've not tried it using the default app Live mode.
Great Video! I use the Flow creators kit from the first gen and just got this one off Amazon. Didnt know they updated it but love it for my work videos. its a VERY handy product
thanks and yup I agree. Well they just released the new version today!
This looks like Schwiterland to me!
Brilliant, thank you for posting.
Very good video sir i just Subscribed your channel..... your way of teaching and making videos are wonderful...... watching from Shenzhen, CHINA.
Nice,very informative vdo

Needs to come with the MagSafe connector as standard and needs to be available in darker colours.

with the app 3.0 tracking, you can use custom framing to change the position within the frame th-cam.com/video/0MiSphKZM5U/w-d-xo.html
Cool device🎉
Can i zoom on iphones native camera app using the gimbal wheel ?
the mic u r using is rode wireless pro?
Can you use Apple Log with this gimbal on both the native apple app and the insta360 app? Thanks in advance 😊
Excellent video. Question: At about 15:40 when setting up a motionlapse, when selecting each waypoint, can the zoom level at each waypoint be configured independently? Thanks!
no, you can only program gimbal movement

could ypu check is magnetic clip work through Iphone cover? or there needs to be no barrier
Which controls are compatible with the native camera app?
hi can you use nd filters on your iphone together with the insta360 flow pro
What is that ladder looking thing on the side of the house nearby at 16:57? It looks like some sort of cat ladder.
Does the tracking work on the back cameras please? Have you tried this with the new apple Final Cut camera app?
Could you tell me the resolution of a 360-degree image after it's taken?
does it stabilize 25x zoom?
Can you tell me more about the size of the 360° photo? Is it any beter than an X3 or X4 regarding to resolution, stitching and exposure? Is HDR possible? Is it possible to save the pictures and to stitch those in another 3rd party program?
@SiHorrocks did you had the gimbal in hand while you cycling in this shot or mounted on the bike ?
I didn't do any cycling in this video
does the kit come with the magsafe adapter? the link provided doesn't mention it in the item description
as I say in the video, it's a separate purchase

It should
What’s the difference between the Insta flow and Insta flow pro?

4:10 - how did you capture sound if iphone has no RX attached to it?
the Rode Wireless setup allows you to record directly to the transmitter as a standalone recorder
@@SiHorrocks oh true, I have rode ME without that

From 1:10, a tip on how to look completely ridiculous in public :)
I look fairly ridiculous anyway 🤪
That tripod looks breakable

This would be better with physical buttons. Touch wheels are so annoying, dunno why anyone likes them

I have large hands and have no problem using it.
you're just stupid dude. The design is great
