While the drone was filming it.

Insta360’s Camera Suite, along with their software, allows the user to set up the camera, place it where it should be, and compose footage after recording. Now these capabilities are available for drones. Insta360 has developed a proprietary stitching algorithm so that common obstacles, including the drone’s propeller, are not visible. While a drone’s traditional camera is limited to one direction, Insta360 allows users to create a variety of effects from different angles using the AI-powered Insta360 app or studio desktop.

Impacts such as barrel roll and turn have traditionally been possible only with advanced FPV flight efficiency. Insta360 Sphere automatically generates these effects on an Air 2S or Mavic Air 2. Users can take the same footage sequences recorded on the drone and apply different effects like dolly zoom. Insta360’s FlowState Stabilization technology gives users smooth, cinematic footage.
