Really good review from Amazon (not me) -
here
No expanded storage kind of kills it for me
Pros:
- no stitching of images thus no seams or strange missing parts like competitors
- waterproof so no need to buy separate housing
- compatible with GoPro mounts and other accessories so if you already own them you can use them with this without extra cost
- standard tripod socket so if all you have is that can use that instead
- is very tiny so can record everything around you without attracting much attention
- feels rugged and tough and has taken quite a bit of abuse and shock without breaking
- can still be used without smartphone or another remote device but will be limited in controlling it
- can double as a POV camera instead of 360 if you want
- can control exposure, speed, color, brightness and various other features of camera using smartphone or tablet using 360Fly app
- would be great for instructional video like teaching how to fly or drive since you can see everything that is going on in the cockpit.
Cons
- battery seems to go quick and no way to add extra battery
- no SD Card slot so no way to expand storage space
- image quality poor unless there’s lots of light and even then there is quite a bit of purple fringing apparent
- software quite buggy especially considering there was an HD version of this camera out for a while now. Had the app crash several times and the desktop software seems to be even more prone to crashing. Need to use 360Fly app for camera to be useful. Website even says some software features not ready and are continuously being improved so makes some aspects feel half finished.
- no LCD or other way to easily change settings without a smartphone or tablet. Also only works with certain phones and tablets listed on website.
- only one livestream option. Incompatible with the most popular options. Then again don't think any of the other options support live 360 video streaming
- a bit on the expensive side
- only 4K camera as in 4K pixels total at maximum resolution of 2880 x2880
- takes some getting used to figuring out mount point. Should I record upside down? from top of head? from chest? It all depends on if you want your face/body in shot or not
