“Invisible Selfie Stick Magic: How I Film Floating POV Shots Like a Pro”

Ever wondered how creators get those smooth, floating third-person shots with no visible stick? The secret is simple: an invisible selfie stick and a 360° camera like the Insta360 X5.

Here’s how I use it to level up my content — and how you can too.

🪄 What Is the Invisible Selfie Stick?

• It’s a slim extension stick designed to disappear automatically in 360° video

• When paired with the Insta360 X5, the software erases it cleanly from the footage

• The result: a floating drone-like angle without a drone

🎥 My Favorite Use Cases

• Bike rides – Gives a third-person chase cam feel

• Walking tours – Looks like someone is filming me from behind

• Fairgrounds & events – Smooth panning with full-body framing

• Skating trails – Glides effortlessly through twists and turns

🔧 Pro Tips for Epic Footage

• Extend it fully for best erasure and dynamic motion

• Use with a 360 camera like the Insta360 X5 — doesn’t work with flat-action cams

• Walk, skate, or ride smoothly for floating cinematic results

• Film in 5.7K or 8K for cropping flexibility during editing

• Consider pairing it with the Chest Mount or Backpack Mount for hands-free action

🧠 Bonus: Editing Tricks

• Add motion blur in Insta360 Studio for realism

• Use the Keyframe feature to pan, rotate, or follow yourself mid-shot

• Crop for square, vertical, or cinematic edits without losing sharpness
