Should I Buy the Insta360 Flow 2 Pro?
Whether or not the Insta360 Flow 2 Pro is the right fit for you depends on your specific needs and budget. If you’re looking for a compact, easy-to-use gimbal with impressive stabilization, the Flow 2 Pro is definitely worth considering.
Buy it if:
- You’re looking for a compact and portable gimbal
- You want a reliable and easy-to-use device
- You’re on a budget and don’t need the absolute latest and greatest features
Don’t buy it if:
- You’re looking for a gimbal with advanced features like 4K resolution or 60fps recording
- You need a gimbal that can handle more demanding tasks like extreme sports or high-speed camera movements
- You’re looking for a more affordable option, as the Flow 2 Pro is priced at the higher end of the smartphone gimbal market
How I Tested the Insta360 Flow 2 Pro
I used the Insta360 Flow 2 Pro in and around my home for a week, testing it with my Apple iPhone 13 and a variety of camera apps, including the Insta360 app, BlackMagic Camera, and the iPhone’s native camera. I used the device both on the move and as a tripod, recording footage in a variety of environments to get a feel for its performance and features.
