How to get Cinematic Gimbal Moves with Insta360 Flow

[@pdcorlis]

Another great instruction video! This gimbal is #1 in its price range. I love your BTS approach - it’s really helpful to understanding your concepts. Thanks again for all you do!

[@BenettGraezer]

My pleasure!

[@remektekmedia6641]

You said it perfectly. I agree 100%

[@MoonForest88]

The best insta 360 intro by far!

[@BenettGraezer]

Thx!

[@ginetteco]

I took this with me to Thailand and it was definitely super convenient to use compared to other gimbals I have used in the past. The standby mode is genius

[@BenettGraezer]

Great to hear!

[@bodiesands4654]

Amazing. Not convinced until this video. Your shots were way better than the bigger KZbinrs I watched review/demo this.

[@bboychicken1992]

Cinematic shots baby

[@BenettGraezer]

Normal 😁

[@BillSklodowski]

Good video... appreciate the info on balancing and using the clamp mount. I see that on my iPhone 14, when correctly centered, the clamp seems to be pressing the down-volume button. Is that OK? Or better to move it a bit so that the button is not pressed, even if it will be a bit off-center? Thanks.

[@meronmountains7052]

Thank you for going over the manual camera settings in the 360 App. I was a little intimidated by them. I usually just let my iphone figure out the best settings. But maybe it's time I did some of them myself.

[@BenettGraezer]

Anytime! It’s always good to know abouf the gimbals feautures and camera settings as in some cases you might need to take over manually :)

[@adzhamfathy8070]

love your video. The creativity and skills you have are amazing! superb

[@BenettGraezer]

Thank you!

[@strathound]

Incredible. Do you ever have trouble with the gimbal loosing tracking and it starts searching the sky for it's subject? Or have you had problems where it lets go of the z axis and starts tilting for no reason? It's probably user error on my part. I need to practice more. But I've lost so many shots when the thing just sort of develops a mind of it's own. I wish there was a way to lock it out so that it just follows where you are pointing it with your arm and your hands. There is a lock mode, but it does the opposite of what I want. The lock mode basically cancels out your movement and keeps the camera facing the same direction. And finally, would you recommend using a gimbal like this for filming fast moving objects ... like skiing? I've tried and it did not perform well. But again, I need more practice. Heading out today to try again.

[@MiaHessMusic]

Thank you! I just started watching this video and FINALLY someone gives me a clear defintion on how to balance the phone and and THEN you said to make sure the little arrow is on the side with the camera. Genius!!! I normally shooot 1080p because the files aren't so massive. How did you attach the gimbel to the tree?? YOu are an excellent teacher! Subscribing! Happy holidays!!

[@BenettGraezer]

Thank you so much. I just hooked it to a branch using the tripod feet. Took me some time to get it fixex.

[@arshotsphotography]

great video and explanation on how to use, I am a new gimbal user and this really helps!! My only issue and please correct if I am wrong is, I have the new iPhone 15 Pro Max and when using the DJI Ap, it wont allow me to use any ProRes setting or Log. Is this correct or am I missing something?

[@BenettGraezer]

Yes thats right, maybe on future updates log will be supported. As of right now, FiLMic Pro and Black Magic support log.

[@luismoran7176]

Another great video, I’m looking to buying a gimbal for my iPhone, going on vacation in two months, would you recommend this Insta360 flow over the Hohem iSteady M6 ? Thank you for your help.

[@BenettGraezer]

Both ar great gimbals, however I do like the one step setup on the Insta360 flow as well as the standby mode feature

[@angelo3943]

Most gimbals nowadays are good and work similarly, some just have slighly different features. It’s really about getting to know your gimbal :)

Thanks for the video. 1. Does it handle the weight of iPhone 15 pro max? 2. Do they provide new usb-c cable to charge new iPhone?

[@angelo3943]

1. It does, I bought this gimbal yesterday and I test it with a xiaomi 11T that weights about 200g (9,44lbs) and it works perfectly. I'm gonna buy your same phone tomorrow anyways, so I will able to try both. 2. the cable in the package is USBC - USBA to charge the gimbal with your phone charger, there's no cable to connect it to the phone

[@BenettGraezer]

1. I haven’t tested it out but the Insta360 flow has strong motors, I even usedit with a lens, so it should be able to handle the weight of the pro max. 2. Dont know if they will keep the lighting cable or change it to usb-c

I just ordered one. Do you think it’s still the best iPhone gimbal on the market? Doesn’t it center on the magnet on MagSafe ?

[@BenettGraezer]

Yes I do think that :). Have fun with it. Its doesn‘t use magsafe, it uses a magnetic clamp, which you have to center and valance it correctly

[@danielstuurman2770]

Would this be handy too for holiday photos like selfie (using the best/rear camera) and landscape using the tripod or build in stabiliser?

which do you prefer? Dji osmo 6 or the insta 360 flow?

[@BenettGraezer]

Currently the insta360 flow

[@jcard959]

Thanks for your response, been debating on buying the insta or dji for a while . Also really enjoy your videos, keep up the great work.

[@TheFandangovideoguy]

great shots! I just got a 15pro max with 256GB storage and with a case the total weight is about 268grams which the flow should be able to handle. I just don't want to use my pricey phone without a case...but I want to record in pro res LT using blackmagic and that means I would need an external SSD or something...II have a Samsung SSD but it weights 70grsm which would put the whole thing over the flow's 300grm limit...I will look into a high speed USB maybe...the 360app records in H265 correct? or are there any options? Your footage looked good but typical iphone footage-a bit too sharp and saturated..I would prefer Pro Res LT and apple log.

[@BenettGraezer]

With the BMC app you can also recod ProRes LT without needng to connect your phone to an ssd, even up to 4K 60fps.

[@TheFandangovideoguy]

@@BenettGraezer hey there! You are right...Pro Res LT is all I would need and I have 170GB free on my iphone (enough for under 30 minutes in Pro res LT!) but only for Broll...I think that for most videos H265 will be enough without needing external storage. I'm curious to explore the 360 gimbal's creative app...I know that if I use blackmagic I would not be able to use the insta phone app...by the way, did you try the osmo mobile 6 too? if so, do you prefer the insta 360? thanks for the video. What a location! Take care

[@suhaimilatiffsg]

What do u use to colour your videos? Is it just simple filters or post production colouring machine? 😅

[@BenettGraezer]

I typically start with a conversion LUT to transform the clip in to a rec709 color space. From then on I do some adjustments in the exposure, contrast, saturation and correcr the white balance. After thta I apply a creative LUT for the final look.

[@suhaimilatiffsg]

@@BenettGraezer Thank you for replying. Sounds technical. What machine do u use to colour it? Or can be done with iPhone? Im hope to achieve that by using filters haha

Hi Benett. Do you have a SSD setup with a gimbal for shooting apple log video?

How to not to be always in the dead center while tracking yourself?

[@BenettGraezer]

Unfortunately you can‘t change the frame position. Check out the iSteady V2 gimbal for that.

[@newori.v-europe9650]

Thanks for asking that and thanks for the answer, that was my exact question to :)) Anyway overoll its a great gimbal.

[@celianix]

Why 25 and not 24 fps?

[@BenettGraezer]

Shooting in 25fps in Europe is due to the 50 Hz electrical system, which reduces flicker in lighting and displays.

[@celianix]

@@BenettGraezer Thanks. I didn’t know that

[@TheJohn_River]

I dont get it. Seems like just a DJI Osmo and Mimo clone. How would you say this setup compares to DJI’s?

[@BenettGraezer]

I've tried both, and while they're both excellent, the Insta360 Flow stands out due to its additional features that enhance convenience. With stronger motors, a built-in power bank, one-step rapid deployment, and a more user-friendly standby mode, it offers a superior user experience.

[@mega8olt]

im also have this gimbal and was really disapointed - no HDR support on iphones 14 and higher, and zoom wheel cannot be used also as focus wheel like on my zhuiyn smooth 5s (( trying to contact to support to add this feature - but still (17 feb 2024) not added(( really disapointed!
