We put the Insta360 Flow 2 Pro through its paces to see how it stacks up against competitors like the DJI OM6 and Hohem iSteady M6.
With Apple DockKit integration, 360º infinite tracking, and multi-person AI tracking, this gimbal is a feature-packed powerhouse for content creators, vloggers, and live streamers. Here’s what we discovered:
Seamless Tracking in 200+ Apps with Apple DockKit
The Flow 2 Pro is the first gimbal series to feature Apple DockKit, meaning it natively tracks subjects in 200+ iOS apps—no third-party apps required. This is a game-changer for video calls, live streaming, and online meetings on iPhones, ensuring smooth, professional framing without manually adjusting the gimbal.
For Android users, AI-powered tracking is still available, but without Apple’s DockKit advantage.
Unmatched Tracking & Stability Features
- Active Zoom Tracking: The first gimbal capable of tracking at up to 15x zoom, making it ideal for sports, concerts, and stage performances. This level of precision is unmatched in the gimbal market.
- Multi-Person Tracking: Unlike many gimbals that only track one subject, the Flow 2 Pro can track multiple people at once, ensuring group shots stay framed perfectly.
- 360° Infinite Pan Tracking: The only foldable gimbal with full 360º rotation, allowing for seamless tracking during movement, even if you spin or move unpredictably.
Effortless Setup & Smooth Footage
Mounting and unfolding the Flow 2 Pro is fast and intuitive—no complicated balancing required. The 3-axis stabilization keeps every shot buttery smooth, whether you’re walking, running, or tracking fast-moving subjects.
All-in-One Content Creation Tool
Unlike standard gimbals, the Flow 2 Pro is built for complete creative control with:
- A built-in tripod for steady shots and time-lapses
- A selfie stick for better angles and vlogging
- A selfie mirror for easy framing in front-facing shots
- A teleprompter function for scripted content
- A power bank function that lets you charge your phone mid-shoot
- A 10-hour battery life that lasts all day
This means no need for extra accessories—everything is built-in.
Pro-Grade Cinematic Features
- Dolby Vision & Apple ProRes Support: iPhone users can take advantage of Dolby Vision and ProRes recording, ensuring cinematic-quality footage with vibrant colors and rich detail.
- Free Tilt Mode: Provides a wider range of motion, letting the gimbal maintain your phone’s natural tilt movement, making your shots feel more fluid and dynamic.
AI-Powered Editing for Instant Results
Paired with the Insta360 app, the FlashCut AI editor automatically arranges highlights to music beats, giving you an instant polished edit—perfect for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

Bottom Line
