Insta360 introduced the Insta360 Flow 2 Pro smartphone stabilizer. It’s available in two colors: Stone Grey and Summit White. The Standard Bundle is priced at USD 159.99, and the Creator Bundle at USD 189.99.

This updated AI-powered gimbal features extended Apple DockKit integration, all-new Deep Track 4.0 AI tracking, and professional-grade features like Active Zoom Tracking and Multi-Person Tracking, plus upgrades to its built-in tripod, power bank, and selfie stick.

“The idea of Flow 2 Pro is simple: Bridge the gap between professional-quality tools and everyday accessibility,” shares JK Liu, founder of Insta360. “We’re bringing our cutting-edge AI tracking to the table, with even more enhancements, as well as seamless iPhone and Android integration.”

Designed exclusively for iPhones, Flow 2 Pro uses Apple DockKit to unlock seamless native subject tracking for iPhone’s built-in Camera app, as well as Blackmagic (including SmartWheel use) and over 200-plus third-party iOS apps. From Photo and Cinematic modes to Slow Motion, Flow 2 Pro eliminates the need for additional software, offering a user experience that combines simplicity with performance.

Deep Track 4.0 is the embedded AI-powered tracking technology, available in the Insta360 app.

Zooming in up to 15x while tracking a moving subject is now possible thanks to Active Zoom Tracking.  Flow 2 Pro tracks multiple people in real time, keeping a whole group perfectly framed.

Flow 2 Pro’s sturdier build offers enhanced durability with a stronger tripod, while the Free Tilt Mode unlocks creative potential for filmmakers and bloggers, the company claims. With this feature, creators can create:

  • Crane Shots: Sweeping vertical and horizontal movements for cinematic storytelling.
  • Tilt Shots: Elevate perspectives with smooth, controlled angles.
  • Crane + Tilt Combinations: Combine movements for even richer narratives.

Flow 2 Pro also supports complete 360° Infinite Pan Tracking, which allows it to rotate endlessly for uninterrupted tracking.

Flow 2 Pro supports Dolby Vision and Apple ProRes for cinematic clarity, color depth, and dynamic range. Highlights include:

  • Dolby Vision: Boost brightness and color contrast for a vibrant, lifelike look.
  • Apple ProRes: Capture in HDR, SDR, or Log for detailed, professional-grade editing flexibility.

The gimbal now sports an adjustable mirror right on its body for selfies or vlogging when using the rear camera of a phone for better image quality. With Flow 2 Pro’s Teleprompter Mode, creators can integrate scripts directly into their filming or livestream workflow.

Control Flow 2 Pro remotely using either an Apple Watch or a second smartphone. This allows creators to adjust angles, start/stop recording, or manage tracking—all without interrupting the shot. Perfect for dynamic filming setups or solo creators who need flexibility.
