DJI Osmo Mobile 7P vs Insta360 Flow 2 Pro: Design and ergonomics

Features	DJI Osmo Mobile 7P	Insta360 Flow 2 Pro
Dimensions (folded / unfolded)	190 × 95 × 46 mm / 288 × 107 × 96 mm	97.9 × 178.4 × 36.7 mm / 121.1 × 282.1 × 54 mm
Weight	368 g	357 g (+ 25 g magnetic clamp)
Selfie pole	215 mm	210 mm
Integrated tripod	Length 67 mm	Length 94 mm / diameter 204 mm
Selfie mirror	❌	✅ Wide-angle rear
Free tilt	❌	✅ (new fluid vertical movement)
Available colors	Dark grey	Grey / White
Compatible phones	Weight: 170 to 300g Width: 67 to 84 mm Thickness: 6.9 to 10 mm	Weight: 130 to 300 g Width: 64 to 84 mm Thickness: 6.9 to 10 mm

Both models feature a compact, foldable format that’s easy to slip into a bag or large pocket. Dimensions and weight are very similar, whether folded or unfolded. The grip is equally pleasant on both devices, with a well-balanced handle of similar length.

As for tripods, both competitors have integrated models. The DJI Osmo Mobile 7P’s tripod deploys a little more quickly thanks to a synchronized system, but the Flow 2 Pro’s tripod, which is slightly longer, offers greater stability once set down.

Both stabilizers also incorporate an extendable pole for varying angles, and a magnetic phone holder. They support smartphones weighing up to 300 g and of similar dimensions. Note, however, that the Flow 2 Pro also accepts lighter, narrower phones, which can make all the difference if you’re using a compact model like the iPhone 12 Mini, or any other smartphone with a smaller form factor.

One last practical detail on the Flow 2 Pro side: a small illuminated ring on the back provides a visual indication of when a subject is being actively tracked, a welcome cue for solo creators.

📌 Key points : almost identical formats, but slightly greater stability for the Flow 2 Pro and quicker set-up for the 7P’s tripod. The Flow 2 Pro is also better suited to smaller smartphones.

DJI Osmo Mobile 7P vs Insta360 Flow 2 Pro: Interface and controls

Controls	DJI Osmo Mobile 7P	Insta360 Flow 2 Pro
Joystick	✅	✅
Side knob	✅ (zoom, focus, light)	✅ (fluid zoom, creative settings)
Status screen	✅	❌ (circular lights around the SmartWheel)
SmartWheel	❌	✅
Gesture control	✅	✅

Both stabilizers are designed to be operational in seconds: simply unfold them and they activate automatically. An ideal configuration for capturing the moment without wasting time.

In terms of controls, they share many similarities. Each has a joystick for manual control of movement, a trigger on the rear for refocusing or activating tracking, and dedicated buttons for mode change or recording. Functions are therefore broadly comparable.

On the DJI Osmo Mobile 7P, ergonomics remain a strong point. There’s a well-thought-out side wheel for zoom, focus and light adjustment, as well as a clear status screen that displays mode, battery life and recording time in real time. The joystick is also well defined, offering good feedback and appreciable precision.

TheInsta360 Flow 2 Pro ‘s interface is more minimalist , but no less effective. All controls are grouped around the SmartWheel, a multi-function circle that brings together zoom wheel, indicator lights, customizable C button and more – all within easy reach of the thumb. The joystick here is a little wider, which may offer greater comfort for larger hands.

📌 To remember: DJI focuses on clarity with a more traditional interface, while Flow 2 Pro offers a sleeker, more modern design, without sacrificing efficiency.

DJI Osmo Mobile 7P vs Insta360 Flow 2 Pro: Intelligent tracking and features

Key features	DJI Osmo Mobile 7P	Insta360 Flow 2 Pro
Subject follow-up	ActiveTrack 7.0	Deep Track 4.0
Multi-topic monitoring	✅	✅
Active zoom	✅ (via thumbwheel)	✅ up to 15x with intelligent tracking
Framing grid	❌	✅ (pro 9-zone grid)
Free tilt	❌	✅ (new fluid vertical movement)
360° panoramic tracking	❌	✅ (continuous rotation on the panoramic axis)

Both stabilizers offer the same three stabilization modes:
🔁 Pan Tilt Follow / Follow: follows pan and tilt movements, locks roll.
🔄 Pan Follow: follows pan only, locks tilt and roll.
🌀 FPV: follows all movements on all three axes, for immersive, dynamic shots.

In practice, stabilization is excellent on both cameras. Whether filming while walking or handheld, the image remains fluid and perfectly controlled, with no perceptible difference.

But the Insta360 Flow 2 Pro boasts a much greater range of motion :

• it rolls further,
• slightly more inclined (although both remain fairly limited),
• and above all, it can rotate 360° continuously on the panoramic axis, which is not possible with the 7P.

Another exclusive feature of the Flow 2 Pro is its free-tilt mode, which unlocks continuous vertical movement. This makes it possible to create rotating plunge or counter-plunge effects that are difficult to achieve with the 7P.

When it comes to subject tracking, both models do a remarkable job, especially via their respective applications (DJI Mimo and Insta360): they are capable of recognizing a face or body, finding it again after it has temporarily disappeared, and keeping the subject centered in motion.

But Flow 2 Pro offers additional functions designed for demanding designers:

✅ Group tracking, to keep several people in focus without manual refocusing
✅ Pro framing grid, to place a subject precisely in the frame according to the rule of thirds or golden ratio
✅ Zoom tracking up to 15x (vs. max. 8x for the 7P), with automatic active zoom depending on distance

📌 One thing to remember: stabilization is top-notch on both. The Flow 2 Pro stands out above all for its total freedom of movement and more advanced framing tools, ideal for solo content creators or complex multi-subject scenes.

DJI Osmo Mobile 7P vs Insta360 Flow 2 Pro: Compatibility and applications

Compatibility / Pairing	DJI Osmo Mobile 7P	Insta360 Flow 2 Pro
Quick pairing (NFC)	❌ (Bluetooth)	✅ iPhone & Android
Universal tracking for all apps	✅ via multifunction module	✅ via AI tracker
Native iPhone integration	❌	✅ via Apple DockKit (200+ apps)
Remote control	✅ via Apple Watch	✅ via Apple Watch or 2nd smartphone
Teleprompter	❌	✅ integrated into the application

The DJI Osmo Mobile 7P comes with a multi-function module that enables subject tracking in all applications (iOS and Android), while adding an auxiliary light and a receiver compatible with the DJI Mic Mini.

For its part, the Flow 2 Pro offers an AI tracker (sold separately or in a pack) that provides similar universal tracking , also with an integrated light.

But the Flow 2 Pro has an exclusive advantage: its native compatibility with Apple DockKit, which enables automatic tracking in over 200 iPhone applications without additional accessories – something the DJI 7P doesn’t offer.

On the app side, the two stabilizers cover the essential functions (timelapse, dolly zoom, motionlapse…), but the Insta360 app stands out with four exclusive tools:

✅ Remote stabilizer control via a second smartphone
✅Integrated teleprompter
✅ 360°, 240°, 180° or 3×3photo panoramas
✅ Apple ProRes recording (on compatible iPhones)

📌 To remember: the DJI 7P offers good cross-platform tracking with a complete module included. The Flow 2 Pro goes further on iPhone thanks to DockKit, and its application is richer for demanding creators.

DJI Osmo Mobile 7P vs Insta360 Flow 2 Pro: Autonomy and recharging

Autonomy & battery	DJI Osmo Mobile 7P	Insta360 Flow 2 Pro
Max. announced range	10 a.m.	10 a.m.
Charging time	2h30	2h
Phone recharge	✅	✅

Both devices claim a battery life of around 10 hours, but this drops significantly in real-world use with accessories activated. On the DJI 7P, autonomy drops to 3-4 hours when the multifunction module light is used for extended periods. The same applies to the Flow 2 Pro when used with the AI tracker or the integrated light.

📌 Good thing for both: they can be used as an external battery to recharge a smartphone while filming, via a wired connection.

💡 Please note: the Flow 2 Pro recharges slightly faster (approx. 2h vs. 2h30 for the 7P).

DJI Osmo Mobile 7P vs Insta360 Flow 2 Pro: Prices and available packages

Creator / Vlog Pack	❌	✅ (€199.99 to €213 depending on options)

The DJI Osmo Mobile 7P is priced at €159, with a unique but already comprehensive package: in addition to the stabilizer, there’s the included multifunctional module, which enables tracking in all apps (iOS/Android), adds a light and serves as a receiver for DJI Mic Mini microphones. All with an additional cable for recharging your phone while filming.

For its part, theInsta360 Flow 2 Pro starts at €169.99 in the standard pack, just €10 more, but without the AI tracker needed to take advantage of tracking in all applications. For this, you need to opt for a higher pack:

• AI Tracker Pack – €199.99: add the tracker for universal tracking
• Creator Pack – €199.99: includes Spotlight and MagSafe stand (iPhone)
• Vlog pack – €213: with Spotlight + backpack holder

👉 Insta360 therefore offers several configurations to suit different needs, whereas DJI is content with a single all-in-one package.

📌 To remember: the DJI 7P offers a simpler, more affordable package that’s ready to use. The Flow 2 Pro costs a little more, but its packages allow you to target more specific or advanced uses.
