The renowned intelligent imaging brand Insta360 (also known as "Yingshi") will launch the new generation of Flow series AI smartphone stabilizers, Flow Pro, at 21:00 on July 9th. This product will be the world's first smartphone stabilizer to connect with Apple's DockKit protocol, marking a significant breakthrough in the smartphone photography field.
The biggest highlight of Flow Pro lies in its deep integration with Apple's DockKit protocol. Users can directly access the iPhone's native camera, achieving automatic tracking, switching between front and rear cameras, and zoom control under the iOS 18 system. Thanks to the intelligent subject tracking technology of DockKit, Flow Pro can lock and track the subject of shooting without manual operation, greatly enhancing the smoothness and professionalism of shooting. It is worth mentioning that Flow Pro not only supports the iPhone's native camera but is also compatible with a variety of third-party applications, greatly expanding its usage scenarios.

It is known that the collaboration between Yingshi and Apple has a long history. Since 2016, Yingshi has been the first panoramic camera brand to enter the Apple Store globally and remains the only panoramic camera and action camera brand to do so. At this year's Apple WWDC developer conference, the DockKit team engineers specifically demonstrated Yingshi's new AI smartphone stabilizer, showcasing the deep cooperative relationship between the two parties.
The Flow series is a strategic product launched by Yingshi for the mass smartphone photography market after firmly establishing a position in the panoramic and action camera markets. Its outstanding performance has been recognized by the industry, and Flow was hailed as "the second brain of smartphone photography" in the Fast Company's 2024 Most Innovative Companies ranking. At the same time, Yingshi was also named the third most innovative company in the consumer electronics field in 2024.
In terms of market position, Yingshi has been ranked first in the global panoramic camera market for five consecutive years, with a market share of over 50%. In the global action camera market, Yingshi is in the top two, forming a duopoly with traditional giants GoPro. According to reports, Yingshi's revenue last year was nearly 4 billion yuan, up nearly 100% year-on-year, with overseas income accounting for 80%, showing a strong growth momentum.
