Insta360 has announced its new Flow 2 and Mic Air. The Flow 2 is a gimbal aimed at everyday content creation. It’s lightweight and features built-in stabilization, smart AI tracking, a tripod, a selfie stick, and a power bank.
It also features NFC One-Tap Shooting, Deep Track 4.0, Multi Person Tracking and Active Zoom Tracking, and a 10-hour battery.
Flow 2 comes complete with a built-in selfie stick, a sturdy metal tripod, and a 10-hour battery that can even charge your phone while you shoot.
Flow 2 features NFC One-Tap Shooting for supported phones, letting you skip the Bluetooth pairing process and jump straight into the Insta360 app’s shooting page.
For Android users, there’s also an optional Quick Launch setting in the Insta360 app that automatically opens your native phone camera when you unfold the gimbal, too.
Deep Track 4.0 is the latest rendition of Insta360’s AI tracking and it brings updates to subject identification (even when obstructed by obstacles), and better support for tracking full groups.
There’s also the handy Pro Framing Grid, using Insta360’s golden ratio tech to allow for 9 unique angles (simply tap the screen, Flow 2 will accommodate your subject).
Flow 2 can be remotely controlled via Apple Watch or a second smartphone.
Insta360 has also made vlogging easier with tools like the new Insta360 Mic Air for hands-free audio.
The Mic Air is Insta360’s first wireless microphone, weighing just 7.9g and designed for simplicity and portability.
Key features include:
- Instant audio upgrade for X5 with no adapters or receivers required.
- Magnetic clip for easy mounting on clothing.
- Remote control to start/stop recording, toggle noise reduction and mute/unmute.
- 48kHz/24-bit audio with built-in noise reduction and a removable windshield for clearer sound.
- Compatible with X5, Ace Pro 2, Flow Series, smartphones and more.
For wider compatibility, a transmitter + receiver bundle (the 1 TX + 1 RX Bundle) is also available and is compatible with most modern smartphones, tablets, computers, and Insta360 Flow Series gimbals.
A new Teleprompter feature thats available in the Insta360 app is handy for certain shooting applications. Users can load their script and it’ll scroll while you record with your phone’s camera.
Flow 2 also includes the AI Tracker, which enables subject tracking in third-party apps that don’t natively support it, especially helpful for Android users, offering powerful tracking capabilities across more platforms.
There is also a built-in spotlight for filming in low light conditions.
Once you’re done filming, the AI Editing Suite can auto-trim and polish your footage for you as well.
