I have tested the gimbal with the S22 ultra for the last week. A couple of pointers and work around: For me the tracking of myself works by turning the camera around, so I am facing the back of the camera and then pulling the trigger. It then focuses on me and tracks me. Also, if you first start the 360 app and then open up the “normal” camera app of the phone with the insta app running in the background, you can use all video resolution settings, including 8k. Furthermore, you can even use the professional video mode, where you can set everything manually. The gimbal will work in that mode in terms of panning with the joystick, turning the camera around… what does not work is zooming or start or stop recording. You have to do this by pressing the record button on the screen. Finally, for zooming within the insta 360 app: instead of turning the wheel, if you quickly flick the wheel it jumps from one lens to the next.
Thank you for your experience with the Samsung S22 smartphone. I didn't understand one thing. Are you saying that even using the Insta360 app you can't zero/stop the recording and drive the zoom using the scroll wheel?
@@federicorossi903 This only refers to if you are using the video app from the phone which enables you to use the professional video settings. If you are using the Insta app than yes, you can start and stop recording on the gimbal. The purpose of my post was: there are TWO different ways to use the gimbal: 1. With the insta app, but then your settings are limited to auto or 2. Leave the insta app open in the BACKGROUND and use the native camera app. You can then even use the professional video mode with all manual settings. With this method, recording needs to be started on the phone. At the end of the day, the gimbal is there for stabilisation. The app is a plus.
@@federicorossi903 yes. Two ways of zooming: a short flick will get it to change the lenses. A prolonged twist will zoom in small steps through all the lenses up.
Mine just came today and your video is a godsend. All reviews and hype were for the IPhone which is a missed opportunity especially with the Samsung S23 Ultra being a heavyweight in its own right. Hopefully Insta360 does some software updates so the flow can maximize the abilities of Android phones.
Hi, are you maybe still using this gimbal? I'm considering buying it for my S23 Ultra, but I'm not sure if they have enabled the 4k 60fps on S23 ultra, and if the slowmotion is working within the Insta360 app?
@@nemanjamarjanovic5367 yes, I still use it and you can film 4K 60fps. I haven't used the slowmotion or some of the features in it. My only complaint is I can't really use it with the freewell case and ND filters due to the weight.
@@theDudleys Thank you very much for the response. Would you recomend it based on your experience? My use cases would be mostly based on traveling b-rolls and short movie work.
@nemanjamarjanovic5367 for traveling I would say yes because of its small footprint. Just be mindful that once you start adding weight to the phone, you're going to be limited to what the gimbal can handle
@@theDudleys Thank you, in the end, I decided for a bit cheaper option because its my first gimbal, so I didnt want to go all in at the start. I got Hohem ISteady X for 40e, so I couldn't say no :D
Big thanks for the share, mate! I'm all about that Samsung life, coupled with the DJI OM6 gimbal - both front and back cams track flawlessly. Smooth sailing on this end, haven't lost track yet!
Thanks for the video. I will be using the Insta360 Flow with my Samsung S23 Ultra next Monday for a work project. You really helped give me the confidence to do this. I don't need it to do much, just video tape smoothly and not get in my way.
Hello, Thanks for testing Flow with the S23 Ultra. I also have the same phone and am looking to buy a gimbal and Flow might be interesting. waiting for the next video to see how the flow goes and what you think of it before I buy it. thanks again
I bought the Insta360 gimbal and connected it with my note 10. I also tested the gimbal with iphone 14+. I noticed the gimbal works better with the iphone. It has all video resolutions and frame rates available. Samsung is crippled and shows less resolutions/frame rates than the phone is capable of. Also, I could not get it to take a 360 pano on Note 10. I am upgrading to S23 Ultra. My questions are: Does the Selfie camera have the 4k option in the Insta360 app? Can you take a 360 pano shot with S23 Ultra?
there’s one point you might mention..with Android version…you are stuck with AUTO mode..you can’t manually setup the video settings… hoping they will fix it
Hey man, saw you video almost a year ago, maybe more than that. And I remember checking the compatibility sheet for both gimbles on their respective websites and it seems DJI Osmo 6 has expended it's compatibility with S23 Ultra. If you still have the phone and the Gimble can you confirm the same?
I think the weakest link (from what I have seen in all of these review videos) is the cheap legs of the tripod and the stubby uncomfortable handle. At least their app is still on Google play store unlike the DJI spyware app that was removed.
Thanks for the video, but why you left out the 360 pano mode? That interested me very much - especially the lens support there since the main lens would be much stronger than the 0,6x lens but requires more motion.
The 360 photo mode works great but it does use the main camera only and I would think it has to be that way because all the .6x camera would do is overlap more or get the shot quicker but have less detail. The 360 photos on this gimbal are better than my insta360x3 in my opinion.
@@captteemo9133 sorry you are right.. it is the .6x camera used and the only choice. It looked zoomed in enough to the 1x but I covered the lens and it is the .6x
Many thanks for this informative video! May I ask if you have tested shooting on 4K 60fps on the insta360 flow already? I've read a few people saying that they are able to do so. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks! :)
I have too many gimabls - 3 currently and have returned and owned 3 others in the past (just phone gimbals, more counting the camera gimbals).. Insta360 is the first brand to show a decent amount of love towards android users. I hope it works well for you, its worth a try over anything else currently out there.
Wow that’s crazy I have 0 of your issues with the iPhone. I wonder why they haven’t sort out them issues with android so that we can all have the same experience. And your right about the tripod legs, they simply suck got to use a monopod for my 360 photos otherwise it shakes to much
About Live Mode...when the gimble turn left/down and right/left, please do not move fast until the 4 indicator light on. Then that will work fine. The tutorial is not perfect and we will improve it.
Great I'll give it a go and if live mode works that's worthy of another video because it will make this gimbal a winner by far for the Samsung s23 ultra... (It already is the winner so far)
My S22 Ultra also is slightly tilted in the Flow gimble. I thought it was bc the clamp has to fit just below the power button, leaving slightly too much phone/weight on the Left side (when the camera's in landscape mode)... Can you do a video showing how to calibrate the Flow so the phone is level?
I was wondering the same thing for my S23 Ultras with a relatively heavy case, (Quad Lock). My old DJI couldn't handle the weight. I used small clip on weights to try even it out, but didn't work. The possible unbalance issue is the main reason I haven't purchased it yet. Did you get yours sorted?
It was a very good video. Quite detailed. It's a great help for many. Can you upload a video with mobile phones from other companies at near future? (Personally I am interested in pixel 6 and pixel 7a, of course, does not mean that anyone who does a gimbal test can have all the mobile phones). Whatever it is, we came up with useful conclusions from the video and thank you very much. The Combatibility List of the company is not enough! Thanks Stefanie Kappel too! 👍
Is the quality of the camera inside the app like outside? Because I found the quality inside the osmo app horrible and therefore never used it... I wanna make sure the quality remains the same...
Thank you for your video. But is it possible to use the Samsung camera app for classic shots using the various settings, and use the gimball only for stabilization? If so, would the zoom wheel also work?
Thank you for the detailed and well presented review, I’m using a Galaxy S21U but the zoom cameras 3x and 10x dont work in the app like it does for you! Any explaination ?
another 2 question, as I am concern with cons showed on you vid. 1. If we put this gimbal on other tripod (3rd party tripod), will the wiggle be fixed ? 2. @2:04 How do you fix those problem ? Thanks
Hi, Im having a hard time doing the sphere mode under pano shots. It doesn't seem to appear at all. The only available in the pano shots is 180° and 3x3. And works well on iPhone. But it's not available in S23 ultra. Have u tried it? I even tried to switch the magnetic clamp on the front screen attaching it in any angle, but the sphere mode never shows .
Yeah, I'll give it another go. I poked through instructions and didn't see how to reset the gimbal to connect a new phone.. but I'm also kind of surprised if it only allows one phone to be paired at a time.. thing needs an NFC chip for quick pairing lol
@Mainely Hobbies Thanks it will really help. I want to buy this for my s22 ultra . Have few questions. Are all camera angles .. difficult one possible same way like om6 or Zhiyun smooth 5s ? Also as handle is wobbly can we work on it with one hand for an hour ?
1. true rewiew (not sponsored) 2. 1st rewiew with Samsung s23 3. What about scratches/falls on floor/resistance for carrying in the backpack - is it resistant ❓ 4. the news about capability with S22 were really bad...
I think the s22 issues I had were because I couldn't reset the Bluetooth. Someone posted instructions so I'll give it another go tomorrow. Durability... I would have no concerns tossing it in a backpack with no protection. Scratches... Sure no worries. Drops?? No idea and Im not testing that since I paid for my gimbal haha
@@mainelyhobbies I'll wait ❗ s22 ultra is my phone 📱 and I'm thinking 💭 to get insta360 flow, but after that news 📰 concerning capability s22 and insta I'll wait for getting it...
What case do you have on the s23 ultra? Thanks for the Android test. I think the only thing they got wrong is not locking the handle extension as you mentioned. Tripod legs on these all seem flimsy...I'd just mount it on a better set of mini tripod legs and not extend it.
The case is the Spigen s23 ultra case with magsafe. amzn.to/3UVzKrG It is similarly slippery but because it has magsafe you can slap on a ring to hold it and take it off easily to use the phone clip for the gimbal. The Spigen has a stronger magnet connection than other brands I got.
OK, unfortunately a new, but rather big issue: since the newest update of the Flow app, the hand gesture symbol, that allows you to start/ stop recording plus tracking is MISSING. I am in contact with the service department and started a discussion on the Facebook group. This is a real bummer. With that little button set to on, you can start recording from a distance. If this does not come back, the gimbal becomes much less useful for recording yourself.
I was going crazy trying to find the hand gesture icon on mine. I've also sent a similar e-mail to them complaining about the missing feature. Hopefuly they do something about it.
Very few creators are using 60fps in their uploads. I wouldnt avoid the buy because of it especially since you can just switch to the built in camera and get your 60fps with basic gimbal stabilization functionality. There are downsides to 60fps too like worse low light quality.
Thanks for the test. I discovered it doesn't work so well with the S21 or note20 ultra. Zooming is terrible and quality with their 8X zoom is complete rubbish compared to the native camera.
I just got one yesterday and my phone is google pixel 6 pro, it can only use the main camera to record which is kinda bad because the ai tracking needs to use the ultrawide to recapture the subject if the ai losing it. it just make the ai tracking not much useful as I saw on the other using it with Iphone. I really hope they can fix this. thought is it hard because android have too much different phones, but at least they gonna make the flagship phone in this two years working better.
Tested s22 ultra this morning and it's the same as my s23 ultra except the selfie front facing camera is limited to 1080p. Everything else the same including live mode not working well
Finally someone that test Flex with Android. Thank you! I purchased an earlier version of DJI gimbal and it worked very bad with Android. Afterwords I noticed that nearly all reviews was made with iPhone. I'm going to see how your further test is going before I maybe order Flow. I have a few other Insta360 products that works with the same app.
@@adz-ql6kv to a degree, software can be improved. Different OEMs expose different things with their APIs. For s23 ultra, I know all lenses are available in mcpro24fps and motioncam pro raw. Mcpro24fps has 4k 50 fps 10 bit, so it should be possible to insta360 to make available. Sometimes, OEMs has a "white list" to access certain features. So insta360 might need to contact Samsung and try to sort things out.
It’s working perfectly with android. I’m using s21 ultra and I’m not having any form on difficulties at all. Finally a gimbal that works well with android
@@darlbanc8651 Could you please tell me what gimbal that works well with android? I am having a Samsung S23 Ultra and I find it really difficult to research a about a good gimbal for my phone.
First thank you for doing this on a Samsung versus an iPhone However it would have been nice if you would have played with it for several days to learn all the features correctly and how to use them, such as the zoom which you can zoom very quickly with once you know how! It also would have been a much better, smoother, more comprehensive video had you played with it and learned it prior to making the video.
Hey man, a big fat Thank You from India. Was looking for exactly this, the camera compatibility comparison with the DJI OM6. Now as it seems Insta 360 flow is the only option for me. Fellow Galaxy S23 Ultra owner. Let's hope they will fix the app and stop calling the 0.6x camera, 0.7x camera as well as that jumpy transition from the Ultrawide to the wide. Also hoping they will let us use all 4 cameras together when shooting videos. Best of luck for your TH-cam endever.
It's just lazy work. If insta360 can utilize those lenses, DJI can too. They just prefer optimizing it for Iphones because it's just 1 phone...there are no other iphone variants...lazy

They seem good about updating their products so far. Much better than DJI
How do you adjust the tilting? If I want to balance it, the magnetic clamp has to cover the S23 ultra lock button.

I think the only thing they got wrong is not locking the handle extension as you mentioned. Tripod legs on these all seem flimsy...I'd just mount it on a better set of mini tripod legs and not extend it.
Looks like the OEM clear case, I ordered it with the phone directly from Samsung, very slippery but the best looking case I've had
Its the OEM clearcase, i have the same on, easy to get on but a nightmare to get the telephone out of the case.
The case is the Spigen s23 ultra case with magsafe.

It is similarly slippery but because it has magsafe you can slap on a ring to hold it and take it off easily to use the phone clip for the gimbal. The Spigen has a stronger magnet connection than other brands I got.
For tripod legs.. I just screw on the tripod feet from my ronin gimbal or my insta360 selfie stick that extends.

Very few creators are using 60fps in their uploads. I wouldnt avoid the buy because of it especially since you can just switch to the built in camera and get your 60fps with basic gimbal stabilization functionality.
There are downsides to 60fps too like worse low light quality.
Can you adjust the ISO and fps with insta360 flow using adnroid phone? Coz with OM6 there is no manual setting.
it worked on my google pixel 6 pro. just got it yesterday
Thanks for the test. I discovered it doesn't work so well with the S21 or note20 ultra. Zooming is terrible and quality with their 8X zoom is complete rubbish compared to the native camera.
I just got one yesterday and my phone is google pixel 6 pro, it can only use the main camera to record which is kinda bad because the ai tracking needs to use the ultrawide to recapture the subject if the ai losing it. it just make the ai tracking not much useful as I saw on the other using it with Iphone. I really hope they can fix this. thought is it hard because android have too much different phones, but at least they gonna make the flagship phone in this two years working better.
tira foto 360 no s23 ultra?
is 4k@60fps still not supported?
It does currently do 60fps on the s23 ultra. The s24 ultra I have now only does 30fps.
How is the compatibility with s22 ultra? I am planning to get a gimbal for my Aug Japan trip😂
Tested s22 ultra this morning and it's the same as my s23 ultra except the selfie front facing camera is limited to 1080p. Everything else the same including live mode not working well
Finally someone that test Flex with Android. Thank you! I purchased an earlier version of DJI gimbal and it worked very bad with Android. Afterwords I noticed that nearly all reviews was made with iPhone. I'm going to see how your further test is going before I maybe order Flow. I have a few other Insta360 products that works with the same app.
More testing in another video is now live
👌👌👌📸
Thanks brother….everyone seems to have iPhone on TH-cam…and I had Samsung…thanks
Bekomme mit S23 ultra ständig die Meldung dass die Achse ausgelastet ist. Mit iphone 13 pro ist alles ok.
My Pixel 6 only one lens works according to insta 360 compatibility charts. Its just not worth buying for my phone.
Usually, pixel has multicam access.. so probably, when zooming, lens will change automatically.. test needed
@@danilo2567 oh thanks - so still could be worth buying?
Yes please hohem m6 review it...
so sad there is no 4k 60, and the transition between lenses, mainly 1x, so bad...
Can it be fixed in software updates or is a hardware issue?
@@adz-ql6kv to a degree, software can be improved. Different OEMs expose different things with their APIs. For s23 ultra, I know all lenses are available in mcpro24fps and motioncam pro raw. Mcpro24fps has 4k 50 fps 10 bit, so it should be possible to insta360 to make available. Sometimes, OEMs has a "white list" to access certain features. So insta360 might need to contact Samsung and try to sort things out.
using app, you will lose the video quality from the phone. the gimble looks weak and swing
This gimbal is still not ready for Android phones, but heard with time they will update. Avoid for Android users just yet.
I'm using it with a humble S10 and it's working fine.
It’s working perfectly with android. I’m using s21 ultra and I’m not having any form on difficulties at all. Finally a gimbal that works well with android
@@darlbanc8651 Could you please tell me what gimbal that works well with android? I am having a Samsung S23 Ultra and I find it really difficult to research a about a good gimbal for my phone.
First thank you for doing this on a Samsung versus an iPhone
However it would have been nice if you would have played with it for several days to learn all the features correctly and how to use them, such as the zoom which you can zoom very quickly with once you know how! It also would have been a much better, smoother, more comprehensive video had you played with it and learned it prior to making the video.
Hey man, a big fat Thank You from India. Was looking for exactly this, the camera compatibility comparison with the DJI OM6. Now as it seems Insta 360 flow is the only option for me. Fellow Galaxy S23 Ultra owner.
Let's hope they will fix the app and stop calling the 0.6x camera, 0.7x camera as well as that jumpy transition from the Ultrawide to the wide. Also hoping they will let us use all 4 cameras together when shooting videos.
Best of luck for your TH-cam endever.
Thanks, and yes we are so close to perfection and just need a little tweaking from insta360.
It's just lazy work. If insta360 can utilize those lenses, DJI can too.
They just prefer optimizing it for Iphones because it's just 1 phone...there are no other iphone variants...lazy
selling my om6!
Gimme a few days to sell mine first! OM6 vs flow side by side comparison video is processing now... Should have live in an hour.
Why everyone use Iphone??? They got brainwashed hard
Android no 60 fps, insta is a big scammer, i have 2 phones poco f5 pro and mi 14 no 60 fps, stupid gimbal
"scammer"? As he mentioned, Insta states that it's 30fps for the Samsungs. Where's the scam?
it sucks
Could you turn off the auto mode? I can't set my ISO and shutter speeds manually on my S23, and it ANNOYS the shit out of me! :(
