Apple Watch Control

Both the Insta360 app and iOS native camera support real-time preview, remote control of the gimbal, and composition adjustment with Apple Watch.

Notes:

  1. Currently only Apple Watches are supported.
  2. iOS phones need to be paired with the gimbal via NFC before using this function.
  3. If you use your watch to remotely control the native camera, your Apple Watch must be updated to watchOS 11 or later. If you use your watch to remotely control the Insta360 app, your Apple Watch must be updated to watchOS 8 or later.
  4. During remote control, avoid exiting the app and ensure both devices are within Bluetooth range.
  5. Interface features may vary depending on the shooting mode. Please refer to the actual display for accuracy.
