Summary

  • Insta360 has launched an add-on for its Flow 2 Pro smartphone gimbal that adds subject tracking to any camera, streaming or phone app, circumventing the need for a dedicated tracking API from Android or Apple.
  • The AI Tracker module allows gesture control of tracking, and also works as an LED fill light with colour temperature adjustments.
  • It draws all its power from the gimbal, negating the need for a battery, and is available now for 180, which reduces the cost of the add-on to around $20.
  • The new add-on parallels a similar facility announced today by DJI for its Osmo Mobile 7 Pro gimbal, which also adds tracking to non-proprietary apps, and cuts battery life from 10 hours to five.
