The Insta360 Flow is a 3-axis smartphone gimbal for smooth stabilised footage. And it has advanced AI tracking rivalling many high end cameras that can lock onto both faces and objects. It has a built-in extension arm and tripod and it’s just about compact enough to fit into your jacket pocket.
Insta360 are best known for their 360 degree cameras, but this gimbal draws more from their recent smart webcam the Insta360 Link.

I’ve been thoroughly testing the Flow for over a month to see if it lives up to its marketing claims. By the end of the video I really hope you’ll have enough information to make an informed buying decision.

If you want to skip forward or back at any time in this video, please use the chapter markers YouTube creates from the timestamps down below and in the pinned comment.
