FAQ

What are the differences between Deep Track 4.0, AI Tracker, and Apple DockKit Native Tracking?

Apple DockKit Native Tracking: Powered by Apple’s DockKit technology, this feature currently supports human tracking only. Its performance is continuously optimized with iOS version updates.

AI Tracker (Sold Separately): This module is not limited to the Insta360 app and can be used by both Android and iOS devices. It enables tracking and shooting across various apps and supports tracking humans, cats, and dogs. Equipped with a built-in fill light, it can intelligently adjust brightness for flexible supplementary lighting.

Deep Track 4.0: Developed exclusively for the Insta360 app, Deep Track 4.0 supports selecting and tracking humans, animals, and objects. For high-dynamic scenarios, fast movements, or wide-range motions, it is recommended to use the Insta360 app for tracking and recording. Users can also experience exclusive, cutting-edge tracking features such as Active Zoom Tracking, Multi-Person Tracking, and Pro-Framing Grid.
