Insta360 has announced a significant upgrade to its Flow 2 Pro smartphone gimbal, introducing a new AI-powered tracking module that brings subject tracking capabilities to any camera app, regardless of the platform. This innovative add-on allows users to record, stream, or make calls with their preferred smartphone app, while still benefiting from Insta360's advanced tracking technology.
The new Insta360 Flow 2 Pro AI Tracker module is designed to work with any camera app, eliminating the need for users to rely on Insta360's own Android or iOS camera app or iOS apps that support Apple's DockKit framework. This expansion of tracking capabilities is particularly significant for Android users, who previously lacked a built-in tracking framework.
The AI Tracker module is a self-contained unit that connects to the Flow 2 Pro gimbal via USB-C, drawing power from the gimbal itself. This design eliminates the need for an external power source, making it a convenient and portable solution. The module also features an LED fill light with color temperature adjustments, which can be used facing forwards or backwards for selfie videos.
In addition to its tracking capabilities, the AI Tracker module introduces gesture functionality to other apps, allowing users to start and stop tracking by raising their hand or start and stop recording video by raising two fingers. This intuitive control system enhances the overall user experience, making it easier to capture stabilized video with subjects automatically framed at all times.
While the AI Tracker module is available for purchase separately at $39.99, Insta360 is also offering a discounted bundle that includes the Flow 2 Pro gimbal and the AI Tracker module for $179. This bundle reduces the effective cost of the add-on module to around $20, making it a more attractive option for users who want to take advantage of the advanced tracking capabilities.
The introduction of the AI Tracker module is reminiscent of DJI's recent announcement of its Osmo Mobile 7 Pro, which also expands tracking capabilities to more than just DJI's mobile app. However, Insta360 has not disclosed how much its new AI tracker will reduce the Flow 2 Pro's battery life, a detail that may be of interest to potential users.
Overall, the Insta360 Flow 2 Pro AI Tracker module represents a significant advancement in subject tracking technology, offering users a more flexible and convenient solution for capturing high-quality video content. As the market for smartphone gimbals continues to evolve, innovations like this are likely to play an increasingly important role in shaping the future of mobile videography.
