Grab the Insta360 Flow Pro here & the first 150 purchases will receive a free All-Purpose Tripod: bit.ly/BrandonButch-Insta360FlowPro attachment: bit.ly/BrandonButch-Insta360FlowPro
The tripod and flash are free for all standard bundle and cannot be replaced with free light. So even when I clicked your link, first showed free flight, but when checked out, the free items are tripod and flask, the light was disappearing.
I love seeing creators outside of their usual environment. It's more personable as it shows the audience a different side of the creator. Great video Brandon!
Bro Brandon, I purchased this exact same gimbal because it was recommended by so many tech RU-vidrs. Unfortunately, it broke in less than two weeks, the gimbal would not open up entirely i think i broke it. The phone holder also snapped in half. I was so upset and disappointed, I wish It did not break so easily. I lost my money as a student. :(
@@aashayrane8555 you couldn’t have because this just released today. Also, Insta360 gives you a refund if it breaks, so just send it back. Although I’ve never heard of anyone having that issue
Oh, I think that I owned an older version. Unfortunately, I could not send it back because I was travelling and it was too late. Thank you for your response Brandon.
Your video sold me on this Flow Pro gimbal and I ordered one using your affiliate link. Thank you for the excellent work you do on this and on your apple product videos.
Brandon you should be a Voice Actor or anchor! youre voice is so recognizable. I hit the video without really looking at the thumbnail. and said OMG he sounds like Brandon and lo and behold it was you LOL great work my friend! Oh I just ordered this also I had the first gen
You got me. This video made me purchase this product and I'm not even a content creator lol I just like cool tech. I did make sure to use your link for the free light. Big ups my guy.
This looks really cool. Amazing that it fits in your pocket! I have an Aochuan S2 that I got this past winter that is pretty comparable, function-wise, but it’s also a lot bigger (and has a 20 hour battery & lights), but its size makes it a pain to take on trips sometimes. Looks like this wouldn’t even be a second thought.
Very very well put together summary and presentation. You really did a great job at covering all the functions to the fullest. Thanks for helping this novice at being so much better at my video projects.
Thx, BB. Really good video. Thanks for taking the time to put it up for me and everyone else. It's always nice to find videos and information that help us solve problems.
@BrandonButch, IMPORTANT question: According to the specs, it said it supports iPhone 12-15, but does not say if any of the Pro Max models. Before I order, I want to ensure my 14 Pro Max with thin case will fit in the magnetic bracket. Thank you very much! Keep up the great work!
Brilliant video Brandon, and the end illustrated to me that whilst it’s an amazing product, you normally have to put it on the legs to use tracking and I think the dealbreaker is that it doesn’t seem to be stable and it wobbles when tracking on those legs.
I saw a couple other people post videos about this, and I was kind of skeptical as I usually am with everything on the Internet. And I don’t buy through sponsored links. But since I’ve been following you for a few years, I went ahead and ordered one. I trusted your review more than others I saw online
@BrandonButch This video was my first visit to your channel. Great review. Purchased an Insta360 Flow Pro using your link and discount code. Thank you. 🙏🏻 They had sold out of the spotlight so they substituted that with a free tripod *and* also included a free travel flask. *Awesome!* 👍🏻😎 Cheers Brandon.
Brandon, a great video, thank you. A couple of things not covered, just to help viewers manage their expectations, was it me or was it wobbling when it was on the stand and it was tracking you, by that I mean the stand was wobbling?
Thank you for getting this out so fast. I was very anxious to find out if there was a difference between the original Insta 360 flow and the new one. I have to admit that I only use my Insta360 flow for 360° photos and not much else. Sometimes I make videos and I do like the fact that this new one does do 360° thank you for confirming that. Is it gonna make a difference for 360° photos?
@@AprilPvd interesting! Maybe I need to give those 360 photos more of a chance - I only used it a few times. I will test this more over the next few days and see if it’s any better. I’d assume it is but want to confirm myself
@@BrandonButch I use some primarily for my quest three home space. A few months ago they did an update where you could replace the 360° photo that comes with each home environment with one of your own choosing. So I go out to different places in my city and I take these 360° photos and then use them inside my quest headset. It’s also a nice way to preserve an area for future viewing. I’m wondering what it would look like inside my Apple Vision Pro when I finally get one. I also use the Insta360 ONE X2 360 to make 360° videos that I then watch inside my quest three.
So glad you made a video on this. Saw a RU-vid short from Unbox Therapy and because I am subscribed to your channel (great work on all your Apple OS reviews), your video popped up in my notifications this morning. 🙂 I saw the DJI OSMO 6 on special here in South Africa and was tempted to get one, but after watching your video, I asked my daughter when her friend is coming from USA to visit (Sept btw). Contacted him and he said yeah he will bring me one with. I went on the link you provided and with the free spotlight, the order showed a free flask was also included (bonus!), so ordered one immediately. The older Flow is currently double the price here and even buying one from Amazon without the free extras, still way cheaper.
Mannnnn he bout to make me replace my dji gimbal cause I hate using there app all the time plus the 360 motion is mandatory, thanks for giving me a reason to go in my pockets lol
Did they add a switch to allow it to track non-reversed front camera shots? That was a big issue for me with the original model. If I used a video app with a non-reversed front camera, the tracking worked backwards.
Hey any Idea why my Flow Pro wont switch between front and back camera in the native app? It works with the Insta360 app. Like you've shown at 8:11 it should work with the native app aswell?
Brandon, will the standard 360 pro model connect to the magnetic mount of the iPhone 15 Pro without having to purchase an additional magnetic mount? I am confused as to the need for the magnetic mount.
No. From what I am reading in the online user manual The magnetic surface on the gimbal will not attach directly to a MagSafe iPhone. In order to use MagSafe on your iPhone 15 Pro you have to buy the Magnetic Phone Mount that is sold separately. Otherwise, you have to use the clamp style mount that is included with the flow pro that grips the sides of the phone and the flow pro magnetically attaches to it. I imagine they did it this way because not all phones have MagSafe.
how did you make google meet, insta360 flow and conitnuity camera work at 5:19 ? i see there is an iphone icon on your desktop but i cannot reproduce. so continutiy camera on my mac wont work with the auto tracking by the insta flow pro....
@@GomarThePotato hmm if you don’t have a recent phone then probably the camera. But then again, the gimbal will work on future phones you get, so it might have more longevity
That's the one I used before this one. Safe to say I'll be selling the Osmo because it doesn't have AI tracking, no 360º tracking, no app with the depth of features, and the build quality/battery life is better here, Hope they can catch up with the Osmo 7 though
the cheap build quality looks the same as the OG. Insta lost me with there BS with creators not aloud to say they were sponsored. I'll just keep running with my DJI Pocket 3 with 1" sensor and Bluetooth Mics
I have the DJI pocket and love it. This Flow Pro, however, is much better than my Osmo 6 and the build quality is basically the same. So as far as standalone gimbals go, this is the best under 150 imo. As for the sponsorship stuff, that was a little shady (if it actually happened, no contract pitched to me had any clause like that) but tbh that's mostly on the creators for going along with it.
The arm seems to be in the way of the lateral movement, so I guess you will then have to fiddle with the extension arm and the tilt on that arm. I wonder if it is an extra annoyance or actually not that bad to adjust. I also wonder how a DJI or rode mic works if you attach to the body but have to plug the cable to the phone if there are limitations to the phones movement. Thanks for this first look at the new gimbal. I’m very interested in it if those things above are easy and unobtrusive.
1. The arm only gets in the way if you go almost fully upside down when in FPV mode. It never annoyed me since my shots weren't that tilted but I guess it could be if you wanted to go completely upside down with a crazy shot. 2. Good question. I used my DJI mic with the receiver attached to the cold shoe - it works the same as the original Flow. No issue there. And the only limitations when having a cable attached (to charge for example) would be with how much give/slack is in the cable. The combination wasn't an issue for me though Thanks for watching! If you grab one, would love if you came back and followed up with your own take on the questions you were curious about.
This is freaking genius and I hope they ship to Denmark 🇩🇰🙏🏽 What a great in-depth video B! 👌🏽 And I do use a gimbal often but not one that even comes close to this one 😊
The handle is way too short, the extension too. And with a smartphone attached the too short handle causes pain in your hand. I tried the InstaFlow and honestly who did come up with that stupid design?
It works fine for my average sized hands but if you have big hands it might be a struggle. I have my extension from the Osmo mobile 6 that I use with this insta360 flow pro lol
Does the new gimbal now support geotagging for all the pictures/videos you have taken? In the previous Insta360 flow this was not done. Meaning that would not be able to tell afterwards, where the photo/video was shot.
@@BrandonButch What a shame. I really do not understand how this is not implemented. Anyways, I guess due to the better usability now of the native iPhone camera app, this is somewhat compensated.
As an iPhone 15 ProMax user for photography, this gimbal looks too small and lacking the power to hoist the iPhone with accessories - I use the Brandon Li phone cage by SmallRig, with a microphone, filters, and sometimes a light attached, which doubles the weight of the already heavy 15 ProMax phone. While this gimbal looks ok for just the most basic use, it obviously can't handle a modern fully equipped iPhone using videographer. My DJi sits on a shelf because it's not up to the task either. Ronin for me now...
@@ricatiman I used this exclusively with the 15 Pro Max with the spotlight & DJI mic attached and had no issues. But i haven’t used a cage with it, so I’m not sure how that would hold up. Probably best for you to stick with Ronin for that setup tbh
When recording and switching between horizontal and vertical does the recording pause or do you see the switch with no stoppage of recording? Thanks. 🤙🏼
It doesn't stop or pause the recording, it continues through it. iOS also doesn't allow for pausing recordings but with the insta360 app you can switch between front & rear cameras without stopping the recording
@@BrandonButch i Payed over 2600kr for the creator kit here in norway, which is about 260 dollars. So i will Sell it to my friend, he wants to pay 2200kr so it is ok.
I have the Osmo 6 mobile and yeah, this is much better so far. Biggest differences for me so far (aside from using native camera for tracking) are 360º pan motion, battery life, tilting selfie stick, and it doesn't randomly shut down all the time.
Insta360 Flow/Flow Pro Magnetic Phone Mount is OOS won't buy it until they have that in stock want buy everything at once hopefully they have them soon should of just came with the pro since it has pro in the name it one of the main reason i would get a pro hopefully i can still get the free light
@@BrandonButch I got a lot of stitching errors in the final panorama. I was using a solid tripod so I don’t think it was a vibration problem. I assumed it was a software issue which maybe they improved with the new flow pro.
@@Dvm2003 Interesting. I didn't shoot a ton of 360 shots so I can't say for sure but I'm assuming there will continue to be stitching errors given the limitation of the iPhone cameras. I'll test more in the coming days and report back if I see any stitching issues
It keeps my face in the shot when I'm not moving fast. Apple's DockKit tech struggles with fast movement but the 'Active Plus' mode in the Insta360 app solves it. I just didn't use it much
@@StevePaulSounds it’s Apple’s shortcoming since DockKit is their tech. It can only track when walking and not making rapid movements. However, the Insta 360 app uses its own tech so the tracking will be better and keep up with rapid movements better, esp when in Active Plus mode
so you mean you are going to be paid for promoting the product...then why am I doing here?? am I going to be paid if I watch the whole video??? if not why should I watch the video????
