Flow 2/Flow 2 Pro's Native Camera Controlling and Tracking

Native Camera Controlling and Tracking on different systems

Apple Phone:
When using Flow Pro or Flow 2 Pro, after NFC connection, you can directly control and track through the native camera or third-party iOS apps. (Tracking is based on Apple DockKit functionality, which is not supported by Flow 2 and Flow).

Android Phone: 
Tracking in the native camera is not supported, but partial control of the native camera is available.

Both Apple & Android Support: Connect to the gimbal via Bluetooth and use the Live Mode feature in the Insta360 App shooting interface. This enables live tracking in third-party apps (e.g., live streaming or video calling software) to keep subjects centered in the frame.

Additionally, for the Flow 2 Pro & Flow 2 we have launched an AI Tracker that breaks through smartphone model & app limitations, enabling Android phones to achieve native camera tracking functionality. Click here to see more details.
