Rank #7 in Best Gimbal Stabiliser 2026: 10 Ranked, Two Battery Claims That Don't Add Up
Insta360 Flow 2 Pro Phone Gimbal, Grey
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Insta360 Flow 2 Pro in grey is the phone gimbal sitting at number 7 in this guide, listed at £144.99 with a 4.4 rating from 1,825 ratings. It is a three-axis smartphone stabiliser that folds, doubles as a tripod, selfie stick and power bank, and the listing claims it is the first and only gimbal series compatible with DockKit, with native tracking in 200+ iOS apps, Active Zoom Tracking up to 15x zoom, multi-person tracking and 360° infinite pan tracking.
The finding for this entry is the price, not the product. The same Insta360 Flow 2 Pro name appears twice on this page — at £144.99 and at £169.99 — and nothing in the £144.99 listing's specification accounts for the £25 between them. On battery, this is the tidy case in a group where two bigger names contradict themselves: the bullet list states a 10-hour battery life and the spec table lists Battery Average Life as 10 Hours, and those two agree. One field is less tidy — the Box Contents names "1× Insta360 Flow 2" while the Model Name is Flow 2 Pro, and the listing does not say whether that is the same item. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing, not from any test of our own.
How those 1,825 ratings break down

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Updated to review a replacement was sent, I think my original may have been really stiff or can faulty but new one moves perfect - updated to 5*I've gone for 4* as I believe this is a great gimble however the one I received was faulty and I wasn't able to find the same fault anywhere else, the elbow looks like it's been put together in the wrong position, when I first tried the flow 2 pro it seemed off, having never used one before I thought it was me and went back to one of the "how to use " you tube vides I'd seen before purchase and I couldn't work it out until I noticed the nut which holds the elbow in place was in line with the black wheel and in eveything else I've seen it is on the side, I've added a photo and you can see the different from the promotional photos where the hinge is at the button not the nut. The refund process has started smoothly and I intend to buy another one when I have the refund back.”
Verified purchase“Easy to use. Exellent build quality and reasonably priced in comaprison to others”

Questions people ask
Does the battery figure on the Insta360 Flow 2 Pro hold up?
Yes on this listing. The spec table records a Battery Average Life of 10 Hours and the bullet list claims a 10-hour battery life, so the two figures agree rather than contradict each other.
What is in the box with the Insta360 Flow 2 Pro?
The Box Contents field lists the Standard Bundle as 1× Insta360 Flow 2, 1× Magnetic Phone Clamp, 1× USB-C to USB-A Charge Cable and 1× Protective Pouch. It names the Flow 2 rather than the Flow 2 Pro, and the listing does not explain whether these are the same item.
Which phones does the Insta360 Flow 2 Pro work with?
Compatible Devices is listed as Cellphone. The bullets say tracking works natively in 200+ iOS apps via DockKit, and that Active Zoom Tracking is available for Pro and Pro Max models of iPhone 12-17.
How much weight can the Insta360 Flow 2 Pro carry?
The Maximum Weight Recommendation is 300 g. The listing does not state a payload range beyond that figure.
Why is one Insta360 Flow 2 Pro £144.99 and another £169.99?
Both listings carry the Flow 2 Pro name on this page. The £144.99 listing's own specification gives no feature, colour or capacity difference that would account for the £25.
What warranty comes with the Insta360 Flow 2 Pro?
The Product Warranty field reads "2", with no unit stated on the listing. Insta360 is given as both brand and manufacturer, and the Country of Origin is China.
