Shadow Insta360, as the leading brand in the global smart imaging field, will release its latest generation of Flow series AI mobile phone stabilizer - Flow Pro at 21:00 on July 9. This product is not only an important breakthrough for Yingshi in the field of smartphone photography, but also the world's first mobile phone stabilizer connected to Apple's DockKit protocol, marking another leap in smart imaging technology.
The biggest innovation of Flow Pro is its deep integration with Apple's DockKit protocol. Through this technology, users can directly call the iPhone's native camera and realize functions such as automatic tracking, front and rear lens switching, and zoom control under iOS18 system. The introduction of DockKit intelligent subject tracking technology allows Flow Pro to lock and track subjects without manual operation, greatly improving the smoothness and professionalism of shooting. In addition, Flow Pro not only supports iPhone native cameras, but is also compatible with a variety of third-party applications, further expanding its usage scenarios and meeting the needs of different users.

The cooperation between Shadow and Apple can be traced back to 2016, when Shadow became the world's first panoramic camera brand to enter the Apple Store, and is still the only panoramic camera and sports camera brand to enter. At this year's Apple WWDC Developer Conference, engineers from DockKit team specially displayed this new AI mobile phone stabilizer from Yingshi, further demonstrating the close cooperative relationship between the two parties in technological innovation and product development.
The Flow series is a strategic product launched by Shadowstone for the mass mobile photography market after it gained a solid position in the panoramic and sports camera markets. Its outstanding performance not only won wide recognition from the market, but also was hailed as "the second brain of smartphone photography" in the selection of the most innovative companies in Fast Company in 2024. At the same time, Shadow Stone was also ranked third in the consumer electronics field of the world's most innovative company in 2024, further consolidating its leadership in the field of smart imaging.
From the perspective of market performance, Yingshi has ranked first in the global panoramic camera market for five consecutive years, with a market share of more than 50%. In the global sports camera market, Shadow Stone ranks among the top two, forming a dual-oligarchical structure with traditional giant GoPro. According to the latest data, Yingshi's revenue last year was close to 4 billion yuan, an increase of nearly 100% year-on-year, of which overseas revenue accounted for as high as 80%, showing strong growth momentum and global market layout.
