First-time use instructions

1. Pair the gimbal with the Insta360 app.
2. Unfold the gimbal, go to your phone's Bluetooth settings, find the gimbal device (its name usually includes gimbal model-related information), and tap to complete pairing.

*Even after pairing in the Insta360 app, you still need to pair the device manually in your phone's Bluetooth settings.

3. After completing the above steps, the "Quick Start" feature will be enabled by default. For subsequent uses, each time you unfold the gimbal, your phone's native camera will be activated with one tap for instant shooting.

For a more intuitive operational demonstration, please refer to Insta360 Flow 2 Pro Quick Start (Android) Tutorial.
