Just a minor correction. I didn't get all information from Insta360 as it seems. I see that they have also 3rd package available which is pro kit and that one has additional tripod... there you have it... :)
Nobody makes in-depth reviews like you do, Zdenka. Always getting the important points across, but also pointing the pros and cons. I am looking forward to the comparison video.
Ms. Darula, What makes your videos standout is the way you take your time and speak a a beautiful pace. You have a wonderful voice and you give very accurate evaluations of the products you present. Keep up the good work young lady, you are doing a great job!
I really appreciate you going into the gimbal apps in detail. Often these apps are a make or break for me and so many creators don't even talk about them. You now have a new follower!
I would like to take the time to tell you you that I watch your videos and you’re the best in explaining and reviewing products I appreciate you and when I watch you, it relaxes me for some odd reason Thank you!
Yours is the most honest and informative review of this device I have seen so far. You correctly pointed out the limited tilt range. I have still not found an honest spec for the tilt/pan/roll range - Insta360 provide the mechanical range, but not the true useful range. For those of us using the DJI Osmo 6 which also suffers from tilt range constraints, this is important. Keep up the good work!
I appreciate your thoroughness. Whenever there’s a new product available, the companies send it to so many UA-camrs who just automatically put out a “mew best” video. Your honesty, and transparency is very welcome.
@@ZdenkaDarula It’s clear that Insta360 has invested a lot of $$$ into the product development and even MORE on marketing. I expect to see videos from the likes of you, Simon Horrocks, and maybe Samuel Sotiega. People who actually provide real information, and review goods in the smartphone filmmaking space. Yes, Insta360 has sponsored the videos, but that’s completely fine, you all SHOULD get paid for the work you do creating valuable, honest reviews, keeping your integrity intact. But they have also decided to pay BIG BUCKS to huge tech channels like iJustine and Mrwhosetheboss who are clearly just doing a review for money, goimg on about how great it is, and not taking the time and effort to truly provide value to potential buyers, just massive reach and exposure in an effort to sell more product to people who don’t really need it, or just buy into the “hype”. So again, thank you.
Great review as always, looking forward on the comparison. Still waiting for my M6, watched your review about it & very excited to get my hands on it. The Flow is a very interesting gimbal, cool features & nice design.
Thank you very much for your kind words and support. I know what do you mean…, I try to go for a real review rather than advertisement lol… I’ve said it 😂
I already have to many current gimbals. In the final scenario my goal is to have the ultimate travel gimbal, compact in size, decent weight handling for filters, good battery life, and outstanding software. Of course the tracking sounds pretty incredible.This new entry seems to check off a lot of my needs. I agree, the tripod built in is not impressive, but still handy. So I guess I’ll order my next gimbal of the week. 😊
Just be cautious because there is no forward for counterweights if you will be using filters…. I will say this is more suitable for automatic mode filming.
Thank you Zdenka for a very informative video as always. ... I just love how you make your background lighting colour to go with what you are wearing. Attention to detail. 🙂
Hi Zdenka may I make a suggestion. You do such a great job of making videos, I suggest you offer a Master Class on your video making process. That is something much needed for almost every other content creator out there. I hope you realize how good you really are. If you cook as well as you produce, may I come over for dinner?
Thank you very much for your kind words and support. To be honest I’m mixing my lifetime experiences…. Working as a radio announcer, Tv person in the past, actor, photographer and now UA-camrs… there is no find a recipe…. You just have to grab whatever you learned in your life and mix that up
You are very welcome…. I am waiting a bit once the app is fully finished which won’t be for few weeks. Whatever you see in this video is what the app has right now
Thank you, this was very informative, and I really appreciate your honesty about what you like and don't like about the device itself. I will check out the video you also mentioned comparing the 4 gimbal devices.
Is Insta360 Standalone compatible with Nokia 7.2 mobile phone and moto edge 40..? Actually I instantly went on clicking your purchase link after completely watching your video. I appreciate for your being honest in giving complete genuine info. I am from Bharat and you are the first foreigner I subscribed. If you can reply, I will go further..
I wish I could answer it but as I always say in the video I don’t have that phone. It is best to check compatibility list on their website…. Enjoy your new gimbal
Hey. Really detailed Video. Thanks for all the info. I had a small question and you seemed to be the best person to ask. I shoot a lot of Food/Cake B-rolls and Instagram Reels. As i record on my own. I want to use the Deep tracking to focus and lock on say Knive if i am cutting or Focus on Some food/ Whisk that i throw in air to do flips / Transitions. Can i choose what i would like to track ? or does it only track people based on Face lock . Thanks for the help.
This gimbal is good with object tracking. You would just select the object.., however keep in mind that here and there it is not perfect… it is still a robot. Some objects will be tracked no problem, some might have troubles
Hi Z I just came across your channel. I love the unbiased review. I have one question which I think everyone would love the answer to. If you were forced to throw away all your gimbals, except for one, which one would that be? I'm assuming the Hohem iSteady M6, am I correct "Sophie"?
Hi Zdenka, great Video again - love your content! I'm a bit older now - and I learned English at school almost 40 years ago... But I always understand your videos very well! Thanks for that! By the way: Do you have a link to the adapter (angled) from Lightning to 3.5 mm (TRS / TRRS?). Greetings from Germany, Gero D.
Thank you very much for your support. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to post links to products in the comments… it is usually linked below the videos in a video description, but you can find it on Amazon
Thank you for the great reviews. Awaiting for comparison video. PS. I'm not native English speaking person, but your pronunciation is easy to listen to and understand. 🙏
You are very welcome. I think I am using basic English because it is also my second language. I try to keep it as simple as I can.. I’m not a fan of other videos, which are super complicated
Excellent video. Looking forward to your comparison video. I’ve yet to find a gimbal portable enough to carry in your pocket which still support the payload of my iPhone 13 Pro Max with Moment lenses. Can you try it with this one? Currently using a Zhiyun 5 but not portable in your pocket. This could replace the DJI Pocket 2 in my pocket if the payload is high enough 😜
I've been watching videos about the Flow as I'm looking my first gimbal that's travel-friendly. I appreciate this video. I noticed you use a Moment phone case. Have you tried using the Moment mobile lenses with the Flow? If so, what's your experience with it? Thank you so much!
To be very honest with you, I would not attach other accessories rather than VND filter. Although this gimbal is very small and light, it is ideal for automatic filming. Some of the moves are a bit difficult. If you want to attach other lenses, I would suggest much stronger gimbal
I'm trying to find the next replacement for my OM5. I want to make sure it has the selfie stick feature. Somehow on your walking and running tests seems to me the OM5 did better. What do you think? Also, thank you for your amazing videos, informative and great quality! You're Amazing! I wish you the best!
The stabilization comparison will be in the next video, so I can’t answer it right now.. I still have to film that part and test that…. Just wait for the next week video before you make a decision.
I just bought the creator Fliw kit and i am excited but one thing is missing that Insta360 should make and sell is a nice wireless mic that connects to all types of cameras and smartphones. And i want the mic to connect to all types of caneraa and snartphones the same wY that wireless airpods or wireless ear bufs connect to smartphones. 100% wireless. No wires, no reciever to plug in. Just true wireless mic.
Glad that you're highlighting the issues front and centre. It's a shame that it doesn't rotate full 360. How does this compare to the om6. I have 4 gimbals already so hoping that this is better than the om6
I will be recording the comparison video today, so I will be able to answer all this…. I need to do the tracking tests and stabilization over the weekend. Hopefully the video will be done by next Wednesday.
Thanks Z. Another very unbiased review. You helped me make a buying decision. Unfortunately I like another gimbal. I think you can read my mind which one I'm thinking of. Nevertheless, the Insta360 Flow has many features as you pointed out. The Creator Kit cost exactly the same as the "other" gimbal with a more independent AI feature. Z, as always, I always enjoy your YT videos whether they're reviews, tutorials or even your rare "thoughts" video. Keep up the good job!!! Sawatdee Krup. Ciao!!!
@@JohnDeUlloa Yes, the Hohem M6. BTW if you order Direct from Hohem, they have a code for $20 off. The $209 kit will cost $189 total. No tax and includes shipping. The m6’s AI is way better better because it’s INDEPENDENT and you’re not locked to the center of the screen. You can adjust it to the left, right or anywhere. I’m also planning to adapt it to use an action camera on it too. Because their AI is INDEPENDENT, you’re able to do that :)
@@adz-ql6kv Correct. The m6 is bigger, but it’s ok for me. Bigger also means a bigger payload, 400 vs 300. The m6 also has an INDEPENDENT AI module which means if you can attach an action cam (GoPro, DJI Action etc) the AI will still function. That’s HUGE and I’ll accept the slightly larger gimbal size any day ;)
Thank you Zdenka, Always like to see your reviews. I got mine and I don’t know if it happens to you, but when I used it in pan follow mode, it doesn’t really lock the tilt. Doesn’t till as fast but if a point the gimbal a little down or up, it will tilt, which is the mode that use more and never have that issue in the other gimbals, please let me know if yours does it. Besides that, is great gimbal
Yes, I have noticed a little bit as well. I’m thinking that they will have to still update the firmware as I was getting updated pretty much every day. I noticed that mainly when I am trying lock position the movement I am allowed to do is quite small before it moves… I would give it a week or two before they publish another firmware update.., it is simply still too soon
@@ZdenkaDarula hi, thank you for your response. Yes with my dji osmo mobile I can move the gimbal facing 45 degrees up or down without tilting in PF. I guess we are going to have to wait then for a new update Thank you
I'm new to using a gimbal. I've had a Flow for 2 days and am frustrated with it flopping all over the place. I'm used to using my iphone12pm with a selfiestick/tripod which is so easy to control. I've watched tons of videos again and again and am slowly learning/memorising the functions. How about a video for folk like me just starting out with any gimbal. Not necessarily the types of shots (there are plenty of videos about those)! Blessings
I’m sorry to hear that you’re having a rough start. I’ve done several videos which should be able to help you just look through my library.. here is one: ua-cam.com/video/80NoW1R1U9Q/v-deo.htmlsi=T-DXlPf80DIAvCl7
Hi zdenka, thank you for the video. I have poco x3 pro, my phone does not work with the most newest gimbals.. from what I understand, all the power buttons and the features that on the gimbal itself physically can work with a native app camera on the phone. Is it true? And if the tracking mode can also work with the native camera app? I'm looking for lightweight gible that can mostly work with the native camera app. Mostly for shooting live shows, I don't do logging or using selfie shooting.. The next question I have, what kind of microphone for my phone for live shows?
You are very welcome… yes there is tracking available but mostly in portrait mode ….unfortunately I don’t know what microphone would be best for your phone… sorry
Terrific review. I just ordered it today (7/13/23) and they are offering a free all-purpose tripod for a Creator kit, a free Spotlight for the Standalone or Pro Tripod kit--but only when ordering directly from them. If you do this from Amazon, there are no free "gifts" Thanks again for the quality of your reviews.
Thank you for the very good video. Would you suggest the base version or the one with the light? the light seems a bit too expensive but it might get useful and I would need anyway to buy a UsbC to Lightning cable
That is some thing I cannot decide for you as I don’t know what type of contents your film. If you know that you will need the light that he would get the light. If you think that you might not need it, just cut the base.
You are right, my question does not make much sense😊 Do you consider the light to be well done? I mean, is it much better (more powerful) than the led already present on an iPhone?
@@JacopoCalori the external light is always stronger and better… but honestly I would carry led light in my hand and positioned it way higher.. not that much in the face.. if that makes sense… I think it is ok but not too important
I have the Flow since 4 weeks. My first thoughts were. Do I really need another Gimbal. But after a while using the Flow and I used it in Lisbon during my holiday, I must say it is an interesting piece of technic. And the the Software is better than the DJI. Mimio App. All together a good first try from Insta360. Ahoi Frank
Thank you for sharing your thoughts…. Interesting because features are really starting to be added last week… I reported many issues before they fixed it
Hey Zdenka, I am thinking of acquiring a smartphone gimbal and I am stuck between the Zhiyun Smooth-5s and the insta360 flow. I have watched your review about the 4 that you compare. How would you say the tilt restraint on the inst360 flow is affecting your recording. I have never used one but it seems that there is quite a lot of tilt already, how does it affect YOUR daily usage. I also want to use it for travel so carrying a gimbal of 600+ gram plus a phone of 240gr is quite close to a kilogram. Also can you film yourself with rear camera with the insta360 flow? Being limited to the selfie camera would be a huge dealbreaker. Thank your for your amazing videos and reviews.
I find Insta 360 a bit difficult to work with. It does require a lot of adjustment which you have to do yourself not the gimbal. If you go with Zhiyun it’s going to be way easier….. you should also check DJI 0M5
@@ZdenkaDarula Thank you so much for the feedback really been enjoying all the videos? How would you comment on the ease of use of the Hohem iSteady M6? It also has AI features (which I started to think could be very handy). The decision is so hard as I am just starting mobile videography. I don't want to over-gear to get vacation movies but also something that would not put limits to a flexible usage. And these cost so much from where I am so... very thorough reserach is required beforehand.
Hi Zdenka Can you use it as a powerbank for Android phones with the standard kit (not the creator kit)? Which kind of cable is necessary? Is it provided with?
This is really a difficult question. If I just wanted to film casual things for a family, I would probably go with something like DJI. If I wanted to from short films and was into extra lenses, and all that, then I will go with Hohem.
The tracking feature is really impressive, but overall look doesn't seem very solid as it is right now. I will stick with my Zhiyun Smooth 5. Great video as always. Did you teach those models the dance moves ?? 😉😂
Yeah, the tracking is impressive…. The build is a little bit difficult I agree. No I sent those kids to train at Muddaritavillelife dance studio… apparently they are very good there 😜
As I’ve commented on other channels as well, how well does the magnetic hold up if, one is filming on a motor bike, on a bumpy road ? The maximum payload doesnt indicate how well, it can withstand rougher roads, Watched your Zhiyun 5s prior, all the iPhone 14 setups, and it has been tremendous help, hopefully you can get the gimbal on a bike ride and test if the magnet does actually hold up. The 5s, has been a great tool to use, especially for what was mentioned earlier, on bikes, there’s a wrist strap for additional [ what if ] Much obliged for posting the videos, From SG
These gimbals are not to be used while doing actions such riding bike… you need to use appropriate action camera for that. It is also written in all manuals.. I hope this helps
@@ZdenkaDarula Thanks for the quick response, Nah, not looking for per say, filming while performing stunts or BMX / cross road bikes, ( if it was misunderstood ) , but rather, road trips, where you have to get to your destination, say a rural village in Thailand or Malaysia, etc, where the roads aren’t exactly well maintained in developed country, Obviously, there’s a limitation of what it’s capable of, thus the original question posted. But thanks for pointing that out
Just purchased zhiyun smooth 5s. For a beginner it's a bit too much. Just put in a return request after watching this. Gonna get this. Auto is what I use in most of my filmography, and this seems to gel well with its auto function.
@@ZdenkaDarula plus i seriously dislike that android cami app. It's atrocious to say the least. Plus the selfie stick... Hmmm. What's not to like about this one. ❤ Thanks for reviewing this. The only bummer is the light attachment. But i guess i can live with it.
Hello Zdenka , one thing is not clear to me, that is is it possible to go to back to front or front to back camera through this gimbal ? Awaiting for your reply. Much love from India 🙏
In comparison with the OM6, which of the two gimbal phone holder will be able to holder a thicker phone case securely and is the width of the case/phone the same with the two or would one holder a wider phone/case then the other gimbal holder? With those with android phones, do you know if one is still able to connect with the gimbal via bluetooth (without the app) and use basic gimbal to control basic controls like activate shutter or does one need to use the app to do that or manually on the native camera app (in my case I have Samsung S22 Ultra)? Thanks
Thank you very much for sharing! I think it's a very correct product presentation, explained in an understandable way. I also congratulate it in every respect! May you have more pleasant days and weekends in strength, health and peace, of course, just like that for everyone! Good luck in all respects! 😀👌📸👍🍀👁️☀️👆
So far ive only seen reviews of this wonderful gimbal using iphones. I wonder how well it will work with the better S23 Ultra, which, apart from having much more features than the iPhail, has more cameras and is bigger, which is always a concern for gimbals.
Hey Zdenka, thank you for your review. What about the payload capacity? i mean, what if i want to use an IPhone 14 Pro Max with a moment lens and a filter? or at least a lens? Is there a chance you could do a video about that?
I’m still very new to my Insta360 Flow gimbal but I’m noticing some problems with sound quality! Mounting my iPhone12pm on the Flow and attaching my wireless lab mic (Fulaim X5), I get much better sound quality if filming with the default camera app than I do using the Insta360 app. I’ve repeated the trials several times and continue to get the same results. Any ideas? The Insta360 app doesn’t appear to have any mic/sound settings at all. The basic default camera app seems to work Ok with the Flow and responds to several of the basic Flow functions, though I’ve not tried them all.
I've done yet another trial. Activating the Flow first, then Plugging in the wireless lav, I get good sound. I'll keep trying various options. Also, for the Fulaim X5, using the USBC TO Lightning dongle is useless. I have to connect the Rx to the phone by the cable.
I just bought this item, mainly because of the tracking system when my 10 yrs son is playing football. Everything is working OK whilst testing the item. But, it does not track moving object, the football for example. after 2 sec of movement it loose it. I am not sure what trick is available to track a 7v7 or 7 a-side up 11 a-side pitch. My son plays in defence, but i need to track the ball to the opposition goal too. i will appreciate any advise. thank you.
It might be because the object is way too small and moving way too fast. I don’t think that gimbals are simply there yet to be able to track such moving objects.
Thanks for the info. Looks good to me, although, I feel there is more to it than just being simple as it appears from the explanation. As mentioned, feels it's targeted towards tik toks and instagram reels
Just a minor correction. I didn't get all information from Insta360 as it seems. I see that they have also 3rd package available which is pro kit and that one has additional tripod... there you have it... :)
I’m glad I read this, that was ALMOST a deal breaker for me. Thank you
That klip is adjustable for pro max size ?

Thanks for your honest review. I have seen a couple reviews that didn't point out any negatives. They were basically a commercial for the product.
I bet you those people had a contract. I refuse to the contract. I saw a little floss I didn’t feel comfortable signing a contract.

Awaiting for comparison video.
PS. I'm not native English speaking person, but your pronunciation is easy to listen to and understand. 🙏
You are very welcome. I think I am using basic English because it is also my second language. I try to keep it as simple as I can.. I’m not a fan of other videos, which are super complicated
Excellent video. Looking forward to your comparison video. I’ve yet to find a gimbal portable enough to carry in your pocket which still support the payload of my iPhone 13 Pro Max with Moment lenses. Can you try it with this one? Currently using a Zhiyun 5 but not portable in your pocket. This could replace the DJI Pocket 2 in my pocket if the payload is high enough 😜
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts. Zhiyun is a bit too big for a pocket … I agree
I've been watching videos about the Flow as I'm looking my first gimbal that's travel-friendly. I appreciate this video. I noticed you use a Moment phone case. Have you tried using the Moment mobile lenses with the Flow? If so, what's your experience with it? Thank you so much!
To be very honest with you, I would not attach other accessories rather than VND filter. Although this gimbal is very small and light, it is ideal for automatic filming. Some of the moves are a bit difficult. If you want to attach other lenses, I would suggest much stronger gimbal
This is the best review of this gimbal. I’ll stick with my Hohem iSteady X. Good job.
Thank you very much for your support
I'm trying to find the next replacement for my OM5. I want to make sure it has the selfie stick feature. Somehow on your walking and running tests seems to me the OM5 did better. What do you think? Also, thank you for your amazing videos, informative and great quality! You're Amazing! I wish you the best!
The stabilization comparison will be in the next video, so I can’t answer it right now.. I still have to film that part and test that…. Just wait for the next week video before you make a decision.
Great Video. In photo mode in the app, 48mp proraw is available?
No, it is only available in native camera app
@@ZdenkaDarula this is unfortunate.. halide has pro raw available, but gimbal controls won't work there :(
I just bought the creator Fliw kit and i am excited but one thing is missing that Insta360 should make and sell is a nice wireless mic that connects to all types of cameras and smartphones. And i want the mic to connect to all types of caneraa and snartphones the same wY that wireless airpods or wireless ear bufs connect to smartphones. 100% wireless. No wires, no reciever to plug in. Just true wireless mic.
There is only one microphone on the market like that and it cost roughly $300.. it is not easy to make such a microphone. Look up smartmike +
Good review. Looking forward to the comparaison.
Thank you very much for your support
I really like this gimbal it's awesome hope it's not too expensive like the 360 camera and works well with android
The price is reasonable it is not expensive
Glad that you're highlighting the issues front and centre. It's a shame that it doesn't rotate full 360. How does this compare to the om6. I have 4 gimbals already so hoping that this is better than the om6
I will be recording the comparison video today, so I will be able to answer all this…. I need to do the tracking tests and stabilization over the weekend. Hopefully the video will be done by next Wednesday.
Get the Hohem isteady m6 its better than both, works withoit need for the app and can do a crane shot, meaning it has unlimited movement.
Thanks Z. Another very unbiased review. You helped me make a buying decision. Unfortunately I like another gimbal. I think you can read my mind which one I'm thinking of. Nevertheless, the Insta360 Flow has many features as you pointed out. The Creator Kit cost exactly the same as the "other" gimbal with a more independent AI feature. Z, as always, I always enjoy your YT videos whether they're reviews, tutorials or even your rare "thoughts" video. Keep up the good job!!! Sawatdee Krup. Ciao!!!
You are very welcome. I think I know which one you like. 😉
I'm assuming you're talking about the Hohem M6, correct?
m6 is great but not as portable as this. I'll wait for the comparison video.
@@JohnDeUlloa Yes, the Hohem M6. BTW if you order Direct from Hohem, they have a code for $20 off. The $209 kit will cost $189 total. No tax and includes shipping. The m6’s AI is way better better because it’s INDEPENDENT and you’re not locked to the center of the screen. You can adjust it to the left, right or anywhere. I’m also planning to adapt it to use an action camera on it too. Because their AI is INDEPENDENT, you’re able to do that :)
@@adz-ql6kv Correct. The m6 is bigger, but it’s ok for me. Bigger also means a bigger payload, 400 vs 300. The m6 also has an INDEPENDENT AI module which means if you can attach an action cam (GoPro, DJI Action etc) the AI will still function. That’s HUGE and I’ll accept the slightly larger gimbal size any day ;)
do you think dji om 4 or zhiyun smooth q2 is better.
I hesitate to choose between these two. thank you very much if answered
Om4 is a bit better
@@ZdenkaDarula ok thank you ..
Thank you Zdenka, Always like to see your reviews. I got mine and I don’t know if it happens to you, but when I used it in pan follow mode, it doesn’t really lock the tilt. Doesn’t till as fast but if a point the gimbal a little down or up, it will tilt, which is the mode that use more and never have that issue in the other gimbals, please let me know if yours does it. Besides that, is great gimbal
Yes, I have noticed a little bit as well. I’m thinking that they will have to still update the firmware as I was getting updated pretty much every day. I noticed that mainly when I am trying lock position the movement I am allowed to do is quite small before it moves… I would give it a week or two before they publish another firmware update.., it is simply still too soon
@@ZdenkaDarula hi, thank you for your response. Yes with my dji osmo mobile I can move the gimbal facing 45 degrees up or down without tilting in PF. I guess we are going to have to wait then for a new update
Thank you
I'm new to using a gimbal. I've had a Flow for 2 days and am frustrated with it flopping all over the place. I'm used to using my iphone12pm with a selfiestick/tripod which is so easy to control.
I've watched tons of videos again and again and am slowly learning/memorising the functions.
How about a video for folk like me just starting out with any gimbal. Not necessarily the types of shots (there are plenty of videos about those)!
Blessings
I’m sorry to hear that you’re having a rough start. I’ve done several videos which should be able to help you just look through my library.. here is one: ua-cam.com/video/80NoW1R1U9Q/v-deo.htmlsi=T-DXlPf80DIAvCl7
@@ZdenkaDarula Brilliant! Thank you!!!
Hi zdenka, thank you for the video. I have poco x3 pro, my phone does not work with the most newest gimbals.. from what I understand, all the power buttons and the features that on the gimbal itself physically can work with a native app camera on the phone. Is it true? And if the tracking mode can also work with the native camera app? I'm looking for lightweight gible that can mostly work with the native camera app. Mostly for shooting live shows, I don't do logging or using selfie shooting..
The next question I have, what kind of microphone for my phone for live shows?
You are very welcome… yes there is tracking available but mostly in portrait mode ….unfortunately I don’t know what microphone would be best for your phone… sorry
Thank you 😊 great reviews, am waiting to see the comparison between insta360 flow and hohem isteady M6. Can't wait
Coming up almost finished… next week it is
Terrific review. I just ordered it today (7/13/23) and they are offering a free all-purpose tripod for a Creator kit, a free Spotlight for the Standalone or Pro Tripod kit--but only when ordering directly from them. If you do this from Amazon, there are no free "gifts"
Thanks again for the quality of your reviews.
Thank you so much for sharing
Thank you for the very good video. Would you suggest the base version or the one with the light? the light seems a bit too expensive but it might get useful and I would need anyway to buy a UsbC to Lightning cable
That is some thing I cannot decide for you as I don’t know what type of contents your film. If you know that you will need the light that he would get the light. If you think that you might not need it, just cut the base.
You are right, my question does not make much sense😊 Do you consider the light to be well done? I mean, is it much better (more powerful) than the led already present on an iPhone?
@@JacopoCalori the external light is always stronger and better… but honestly I would carry led light in my hand and positioned it way higher.. not that much in the face.. if that makes sense… I think it is ok but not too important
Thank you very much
I have the Flow since 4 weeks. My first thoughts were. Do I really need another Gimbal. But after a while using the Flow and I used it in Lisbon during my holiday, I must say it is an interesting piece of technic. And the the Software is better than the DJI. Mimio App. All together a good first try from Insta360. Ahoi Frank
Thank you for sharing your thoughts…. Interesting because features are really starting to be added last week… I reported many issues before they fixed it
Very good information you provide
From India ❤
Thank you very much for your support
Good work. Thanks a lot .💐👍👏😆🌹🌷👏👍💐
You are very welcome
if you would be choosing between the Insta flow and hohem v2 which one would you prefer?
Both for very different reasons. Hohem for filming with AI sensor but Insta for best tracking
@@ZdenkaDarula ok, so for a jib (fake drone) shot? hohem is lighter, and insta flow has batter range of movement...
Thank you Flor the Video 👍
You are very welcome
Hey Zdenka, I am thinking of acquiring a smartphone gimbal and I am stuck between the Zhiyun Smooth-5s and the insta360 flow. I have watched your review about the 4 that you compare. How would you say the tilt restraint on the inst360 flow is affecting your recording. I have never used one but it seems that there is quite a lot of tilt already, how does it affect YOUR daily usage. I also want to use it for travel so carrying a gimbal of 600+ gram plus a phone of 240gr is quite close to a kilogram. Also can you film yourself with rear camera with the insta360 flow? Being limited to the selfie camera would be a huge dealbreaker. Thank your for your amazing videos and reviews.
I find Insta 360 a bit difficult to work with. It does require a lot of adjustment which you have to do yourself not the gimbal. If you go with Zhiyun it’s going to be way easier….. you should also check DJI 0M5
@@ZdenkaDarula Thank you so much for the feedback really been enjoying all the videos? How would you comment on the ease of use of the Hohem iSteady M6? It also has AI features (which I started to think could be very handy). The decision is so hard as I am just starting mobile videography. I don't want to over-gear to get vacation movies but also something that would not put limits to a flexible usage. And these cost so much from where I am so... very thorough reserach is required beforehand.
Hi Zdenka
Can you use it as a powerbank for Android phones with the standard kit (not the creator kit)?
Which kind of cable is necessary? Is it provided with?
That I don’t know… if you review the packages on the website it should be all listed there
Thanks! Waiting for the comparison to Zhiyun and Hohem. Díky, čau :)
You are very welcome
Looking forward to your comparison with smooth 5s!
Coming up tomorrow
Hi Zdenka, question please, if you had to pick just one gimbal for an iPhone 13, what would it be?
This is really a difficult question. If I just wanted to film casual things for a family, I would probably go with something like DJI. If I wanted to from short films and was into extra lenses, and all that, then I will go with Hohem.
@@ZdenkaDarula thank you young lady 😉👌
Great review! I didn't see any reason to get this gimbal over others... seems like Insta360 is late to the game.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts
The tracking feature is really impressive, but overall look doesn't seem very solid as it is right now. I will stick with my Zhiyun Smooth 5. Great video as always. Did you teach those models the dance moves ?? 😉😂
Yeah, the tracking is impressive…. The build is a little bit difficult I agree. No I sent those kids to train at Muddaritavillelife dance studio… apparently they are very good there 😜
@@ZdenkaDarula HaHaHaha....
Thank you for all you do 👍🏻🌻☀️
You are very welcome
Very good
Thank you very much for your support
As I’ve commented on other channels as well, how well does the magnetic hold up if, one is filming on a motor bike, on a bumpy road ? The maximum payload doesnt indicate how well, it can withstand rougher roads,
Watched your Zhiyun 5s prior, all the iPhone 14 setups, and it has been tremendous help, hopefully you can get the gimbal on a bike ride and test if the magnet does actually hold up.
The 5s, has been a great tool to use, especially for what was mentioned earlier, on bikes, there’s a wrist strap for additional [ what if ]
Much obliged for posting the videos,
From SG
These gimbals are not to be used while doing actions such riding bike… you need to use appropriate action camera for that. It is also written in all manuals.. I hope this helps
@@ZdenkaDarula Thanks for the quick response,
Nah, not looking for per say, filming while performing stunts or BMX / cross road bikes, ( if it was misunderstood ) , but rather, road trips, where you have to get to your destination, say a rural village in Thailand or Malaysia, etc, where the roads aren’t exactly well maintained in developed country,
Obviously, there’s a limitation of what it’s capable of, thus the original question posted.
But thanks for pointing that out
Bonjour madame vous faites de belles vidéo pouvez-vous le comparer au smooth 5s
Next week the video will be out
Just purchased zhiyun smooth 5s. For a beginner it's a bit too much. Just put in a return request after watching this. Gonna get this. Auto is what I use in most of my filmography, and this seems to gel well with its auto function.
It seems like this, it would be better option for you. If automatic filming as what do you like then yes
@@ZdenkaDarula plus i seriously dislike that android cami app. It's atrocious to say the least. Plus the selfie stick... Hmmm. What's not to like about this one. ❤
Thanks for reviewing this. The only bummer is the light attachment. But i guess i can live with it.
@@googlechrist7 thank you for sharing…
@@ZdenkaDarula Ordered...It's on the wayyy... yyyyaaaayyyyy... Smooth 5S is back in the box for return! Boom -just like that!
Will it balance with the DJI mic in the lightning port of the iPhone?
It should not be a problem
@@ZdenkaDarula Thank you. I didn't think it would, but no one is using it in any of the videos I've seen.
Looked at this but went with the Hohem M6
Thank you for sharing
After a much extensive investigation so did I. I'm actually shipping this trash aka Insta360 back to Amazon TODAY!
It's looking good, but I just purchase iSteady M6 Kit for better value and features sacrificing some size and portability.
Thank you very much for sharing. Enjoy your new gimbal
Are all the features of the app also available for android? e.g. filming in 4k 60fps, slow motion, etc?
Everything will be answered next week
Mersi! 🎉
You are very welcome
Any way to record HDR videos on iPhone 14 using Insta360 Flow as gimbal?
If you use native camera app, you can use the gimbal to stabilize the footage.. but the HDR is not in their app
Hello Zdenka , one thing is not clear to me, that is is it possible to go to back to front or front to back camera through this gimbal ? Awaiting for your reply. Much love from India 🙏
yes. you can do it.
No, you cannot rotated 180°
In comparison with the OM6, which of the two gimbal phone holder will be able to holder a thicker phone case securely and is the width of the case/phone the same with the two or would one holder a wider phone/case then the other gimbal holder? With those with android phones, do you know if one is still able to connect with the gimbal via bluetooth (without the app) and use basic gimbal to control basic controls like activate shutter or does one need to use the app to do that or manually on the native camera app (in my case I have Samsung S22 Ultra)? Thanks
This one has better clamp… Android phones will be answered next week
Tracking is really important for me. How does this one compared to istead m6?
You will see tracking tests next week
Hi, how is the software on android? Is the app able to utilize all the lens on samsung phone?
Everything will be answered next week
I had iPhone 14 pro max please tell me which one is best mam hohem M6 or Insta 360
They are both great for that phone…
@@ZdenkaDarula thanks dear I am die-hard fan of u...👍
Need more info about the powerbank option please!
What do you need to know specifically?
Thank you very much for sharing! I think it's a very correct product presentation, explained in an understandable way. I also congratulate it in every respect! May you have more pleasant days and weekends in strength, health and peace, of course, just like that for everyone! Good luck in all respects!

So far ive only seen reviews of this wonderful gimbal using iphones. I wonder how well it will work with the better S23 Ultra, which, apart from having much more features than the iPhail, has more cameras and is bigger, which is always a concern for gimbals.
Everything will be answered next week
I presume it can also do inception move, will the gymbal show when wide angle lens is used?
No, this feature is not there
Hey Zdenka, thank you for your review.
What about the payload capacity? i mean, what if i want to use an IPhone 14 Pro Max with a moment lens and a filter? or at least a lens? Is there a chance you could do a video about that?
Maximin payload is 300g. There is no port for counterweight so this is not a good option
@@ZdenkaDarula thanks 👍👍
You are very welcome
Good review, this tool has pity and will be interested in the next generation. The tracking needs to be smoother imo
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts
I’m still very new to my Insta360 Flow gimbal but I’m noticing some problems with sound quality! Mounting my iPhone12pm on the Flow and attaching my wireless lab mic (Fulaim X5), I get much better sound quality if filming with the default camera app than I do using the Insta360 app. I’ve repeated the trials several times and continue to get the same results.
Any ideas? The Insta360 app doesn’t appear to have any mic/sound settings at all. The basic default camera app seems to work Ok with the Flow and responds to several of the basic Flow functions, though I’ve not tried them all.
Hm…. That is some thing I haven’t really encountered, so I cannot really answer this. I will have to look into that and do further testing.
@@ZdenkaDarula It would be nice to have a volume meter in the app.
I've done yet another trial. Activating the Flow first, then Plugging in the wireless lav, I get good sound. I'll keep trying various options. Also, for the Fulaim X5, using the USBC TO Lightning dongle is useless. I have to connect the Rx to the phone by the cable.
I just bought this item, mainly because of the tracking system when my 10 yrs son is playing football. Everything is working OK whilst testing the item. But, it does not track moving object, the football for example. after 2 sec of movement it loose it. I am not sure what trick is available to track a 7v7 or 7 a-side up 11 a-side pitch. My son plays in defence, but i need to track the ball to the opposition goal too. i will appreciate any advise. thank you.
It might be because the object is way too small and moving way too fast. I don’t think that gimbals are simply there yet to be able to track such moving objects.
Thanks for the info. Looks good to me, although, I feel there is more to it than just being simple as it appears from the explanation. As mentioned, feels it's targeted towards tik toks and instagram reels
Yeah I agree... it is targeted for that audience
Now you can zoom on the native app. I guess the updated the firmware
Yes, the firmware gets updated all the time
Can it track many people, like during PE class if more than 10 kids playing and running around?
Only 1 person at time
