Insta360 FLOW vs DJI OM6 - Smartphone Gimbal Comparison

[@adegreen2731]

It’s really had to judge a insta360 product against any competition due to the amount of free give always, sponsoring etc that they undertake. To me it would appear insta360 have worked hard to improve on dji’s person tracking. Each comparison video I see just seems to focus on the flow’s advantage in this area as a result. I’m after a gimbel but not seeing a massive use for tracking the DJI’s more sturdy build and slightly bigger movement angles I think is swaying me towards it

[@MyMichel23]

only on tilt angle, insta360 beat dji in others movements

[@katsayshii]

They also don't talk about how trash the video results are when using the Insta360 with zoom, would be nice if they really do in-depth comparison with their respective apps using the camera/app's capacity/results when recording instead of just features. We want real-world results..

[@Tearoze]

Very good comparison. The OM6 has better aesthetics but the Flow has more features. It would be interesting to see AI tracking incorporated in the next generation of DJI gimbals with a longer battery life as I still think DJI build quality is superior and I love the ergonomic design which makes it comfortable to hold.

[@jannarobert8282]

Good review but you’re missing the fact that OM6 like its predecessors does not record hyperlapses in 4K. For me this is one of the best features for such a product. DJI responds they can’t do it and that was my trigger to switch to the Flow.

[@AtypicalPaul]

These 2 need to come together and make the ultimate gimbal lol

[@seattlesoto]

Just got the DJI OM6. The first thing I did was install new firmware. Guess what!!? New active tracking update!

[@Yohan17778]

is dji om6 stable even fully extended? (extension rod/selfie stick mode) because in insta360flow when fully extended, it shows that its being bend a little bit and bouncy most of all if the phone is heavy

[@shmuelmaloof4448]

@@Yohan17778 Most of those gimbals arent realy stable. They depend on the EIS of the phone. So if your phone has good electronic Image stabilization, you will be fine. If it doesnt, then dont bother.... I think the Insta 360 flow might be the first small gimbal to actually not have this issue.. But Im not sure yet.

[@droneKRR]

Yes, I already own FLOW. And before that, he owned a DJI OM2. What can I say - FLOW has a much smaller list of compatible smartphones. Insta360 included the most expensive smartphones in this compatible list, among which there was no place for my Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S. So I'm disappointed with my FLOW and have already taken it back to my dealer

[@mark.polo24]

Got to say having upgraded from the osmo mobile two to the OM6 I couldn't recommend it more highly

[@thekingishere1831]

So SE is worth it ya

[@nss0223]

Should not have a Xiaomi what ever the fuck that is

[@davidfarnstrom7241]

​@nss0223 first of all, how do you not know what xiaomi is, second of all its just normal android so its a huge weakness if the insta 360 dont support the operating system that has a market share of around 70 of the world.

[@JerryCook919]

Great review! But the DJI updated the firmware a few months ago worth a try! I tried the active track 6.0, honestly it’s pretty good, especially when I want to track my kids. Looking forward to your further review 🙂

[@mikealberto504]

yeah

[@Yohan17778]

[@TheCoolDude1230]

Great comparison video thanks I was also between the dji 6 and insta 360 got a better deal on dji so gonna try that first

[@AtypicalPaul]

The dji is very strong and durable ! Feels so well made Not used the 360

[@scottw6960]

Great video, thanks for the tour. Do either of these support iPhone ProRes recording through their app?

[@KongGig]

I have a mid tier Phone..Samsung A53 Of which I have discovered a number of problems when I use my Insta360 flow together with my phone. Something that I have not seen when using my osmo mobile 6. Example 1.When I record in 4k combo with motion tracking, it occasionally happens that the Video slows down or gets buggy. 2.When I start insta360 flow, the app doesn't always start 3. have to constantly go from full hd to 4k because the app goes back to hd after I record an video 4.Overheating tempt to happend quite often.

[@mesiasdias1172]

Did the osmo mobile 6 work well with your phone?

[@anshuman729]

Please reply about your experience in dji gimbal

[@kindface]

Easily the best review I’ve come across of about 7-9 that i have watched (including on TikTok LOL!)

[@FlytPath]

Wow thank u

[@lukasstudeny1496]

8:55 Wasn’t it because of the iPhone not properly installed on the Insta360 FLOW gimbal. If you look closer you will see a air gap between the phone and the magnetic phone clamp.

[@FlytPath]

The tilt is restricted by gimbal motor placement, not by phone.

[@MyMichel23]

yeah but as he said thanks to it the difference looks even bigger@@FlytPath

[@shonnsutton5425]

How wide is the smartphone clamp? I have a Galaxy S22 Ultra and I need a phone clamp that can open to a little over 4 inches.

[@ThatSocialloner]

I’m wondering if the bad ai tracking had anything to do with the phone you had on it…don’t know if you used the same phone on both for the testing.

[@denisregis]

me pareceu mal intecionado no teste das crianças atras das colunas, ela sempre fez movimentos diferentes para o DJI, virando de costas para se esconder na coluna, acho que percebi isso!

[@mochisdigital]

I have insta360 flow. It works fine with horizontal video, BUT vertical video it’s not functional for me. Wich one do you recommend me for vertical video for smartphones?

[@ArtDrone]

Why is it not functional in vertical?

[@AtypicalPaul]

Would you say that the camera clip holders are both the same size? I'm going buy the 360 and try it

[@bilgenisase]

Hi 😊How are the Insta 360 button controls? Can it be done up and down easily? Could it be suitable for shooting cooking videos?

[@akashdeeph.2865]

What scary tracking accuracy at such an affordable price point. What would happen when gun stands and mounts are armed with such tracking skills!!! 😮😮😮😮

[@Droneshotworld]

I bought both the tripod on the 360 flow pro is hard to get out flimsy and shaky and the tracking tends to be jerker although it does work better than the DJI version I bought both the tripod on the 360 flow pro is hard to get out flimsy and shaky and the tracking tends to be jerker although it does work better than the DJI version. also, currently the Osmo six is on sale so there is a pretty significant price Delta that being said I don’t really think either of these gimbals are up to par right now and I’m gonna wait for the next narration of both before deciding.

[@khaleesioftheeast]

Thank you for this comparison, really helped me out! :) have you tried the dji pocket camera?

[@Tim_Tursunov]

Your tracking task you gave to these gimbals is awesome! Nice review.

[@ademilsonfb2698]

Ajuda eu reclamar no site deles, no canal deles pra fazerem uma atualização pra arrumar os pontos negativos, um deles é o brilho da tela que a gente não tem o controle, diminuí o brilho da tela pra economizar carga da bateria, mais o aplicativo deles ao se conectar com o DJI OM6 volta o brilho acima da média o que é uma sacanagem com a gente, não tem a opção de desativar

[@ShahryarShayan]

Great comparison, thanks

[@clintroberts1]

You forgot to do a test comparison on who has the stronger motors. A simple running with each a few times would reveal this.

[@Nala_1230]

I hate compromises. One has this and that while other has that and more... give me 1 perfect gimbal XD

[@shmuelmaloof4448]

This is why I dont feel exited about tech anymore. Its never, pay more, get better. Everything has some sort of anoying Issue XD I hate it.

[@Droneshotworld]

That Ai.I tracking might be the difference making, good testing! but the Osmo 6 is on sale right now it's pretty cheap comparatively, the insta360 flow isn't on sale for Amazon Black Friday

[@Boufouloumix]

Flow ate DJI like a snack!!!

[@M3L0D1CM4N]

I hate the image quality loss that happens using gimbals own app to record. Is it still noticible difference compared to phones own camera app?

[@makatron]

Honestly since I do the tracking myself, I rather just use the phone camera app.

[@RidingLifesRoads]

How tight it the clamp on the 360 for the iPhone Pro Max? - I find on the DJI it’s so tight it feels like it’s going to crush the phone - Puts me off I keep feeling like the screen might crack or something.

[@cweb1988]

All DJI needs to do is allow tracking in apps outside their proprietary app....then they'd be back on top. Until I can use the DJI with the Blackmagic Camera App or other "pro" apps......it's a no go for me.

[@shadostorm8375]

I wanted a comparison for active tracking inline skating and found it here! Thanks for making a good comparison between the two. Love the aesthetics of the Osmo but rather go for the Instaflow for its fast and smarter tracking.

[@SCAerialsSteveCarpenter]

Hello Aldryn. Thank you for the excellent review and for testing these two new phone gimbals. I sure like the overall outcome of your test and comments on the Insta360. Hopefully, both companies will have firmware updates to correct or advance their feathers. I sure hope our cloudy weather finally breaks for some sunshine. Take Care.

[@ThePlasticRussian]

How do they work with large phones like s23 ultra or iPhone pro max with external mis like dji mic 2 ?

[@jeremybermender6322]

Can you attach the DJI mic receiver to the iPhone while attached to the flow?

[@jbarksdale227]

Great Video! Just bought the Flow for its tracking!

[@couragepassion]

Wow your review is amazing 😮❤ thank you for sharing and making this video

[@FlytPath]

Appreciate it! Glad you liked it.

[@Razorcrew_Cole]

Is there a way to put my insta360 in it?

[@fahdhasnain979]

Great comparison as usual. Plz suggest me the best gimbal that can hold mobile, action cam and mirrorless camera

[@thekingishere1831]

[@ChristopherB711]

Which one is compatible with a Google Pixel Pro 8 and or Google Pixel Pro 9? TIA! 👍🏻

How to put them on bike? Thanks

[@asimnayakawadi4396]

I am getting dji 6 @ 99 euro while flow costs me 169 euro what should i go for?

[@AtypicalPaul]

I appreciate this review. I may try the 360 now

[@michellewalpole4355]

How do either of them perform with an IPhone 14 Pro Max?

[@YokNg]

when using a gimbal can i still use my phone's camera native app or I need to use the app that comes with the gimbal?

[@jakestechtravels4864]

You can use the native app with the 360 flow, you can also use it with video / zoom calls.

[@paullawrence337]

Bro how can i get phone clamp of insta 360

[@Oleg_Bu]

On DJI OM6 roller button for zoom ia too small. Very dificult to change zoom smoothly. I expected, next generation will do bigger wheel. But Insta did it earlier))

[@FlytPath]

Agree. The small knob is not as easy to use as the insta wheel

[@FieldtripGeoagraphy]

are these gimbals compatible with Samsung A70 and A73 models?

[@sibertiger17]

Great breakdown as always bud.I was curious about the two, as it seems there's a lot of hate being generated about the Flow now, and also people saying the om5 is better than the 6... I'm looking to get a phone gimbal for my partner that you met at Xel-Ha, but she needs one that isn't complicated. The tracking is almost the sales point that puts the Flow on top here, especially if she's tracking her kid a lot....wonder how well it keeps track during faster sports events etc....

[@KongGig]

I have noticed that the tracking feature varies from phone to phone. My Samsung 23 lets me record people that run fairly easily, while my A53 barely has the ability to catch up with people who walk.

[@DougPVlogs]

Xel-Ha, I lived right next to the lagoon in the late 60s. Back then it was free and the tourists would park their RVs right on the waters edge. We would eat fresh fish from the lagoon. I need to go back and do a vlog there.

[@kidilantraveler]

What a Great Comparison ❤

[@alexarmstrong1134]

Great review! Thanks

[@anthonycraig274]

It’s like an absolute decimation by the flow, the only good thing about the 6 is the AI and comfortable grip.

[@KriticullCTRL]

Flow feels cheap

[@vidademikey9790]

Flow is absolute garbage if you have anything other than an iphone

is dji om6 stable even fully extended? (extension rod/selfie stick mode) because in insta360flow when fully extended, it shows that its being bend a little bit and bouncy most of all if the phone is heavy

[@dankevindonayre26]

Yeah it is very stable on the om 6 . I tried it. It because the insta 360 flow design is so awkward that may greatly afffect its stability specially if the rod is fully extended while using.

can't speak for tteh Insta360 but a lot of this review is now out of date as far as the OM6 is concerned as software/firmware updates have get rid of a number opf bugs and enhanced capabilities and added new functions.

Excellent review, Aldryn. Like you said, I too, don't use my DJI OM5 for any serious amount of time on a project. But, I like having it in my tool kit as a reliable back up to the cameras I do use on a project. But the tracking feature on the Insta360 is truly amazing.

[@matteobevilacqua8010]

grazie boss

[@RonaldBrown59]

Good comparison Aldryn, the tracking on the Flow was amazing. Otherwise the differences seemed minor. Smartphone gimbal market is pretty mature at this point and there isn't much difference between the leading models. It seems like the most important detail is how the gimbal works with your model of smartphone. Great video, and thanks for sharing.
