Great review! Thanks a lot 🙏

[@1zhidaie]

My god the red on this bike pops!

[@9to5toys]

All in-camera! No post processing on any of it

[@NilrocFilms]

Hey there,
Video footage looks fine on an iPhone but compression artifacts everywhere when watching on a larger display. What size did u upload to RUclips? I’m guessing 720p.

[@Danleil]

How can I get in touch with you? I have some questions I'd like to ask.

[@TappedOutTravel]

So, what they don’t tell you is how bad the grain, chromatic abbreviation, banding, and noise is.
They don’t tell you that as of today, you can’t edit 360 video in the desktop app and export in 360. That’s right, the 360 app, does NOT allow you to edit and export 360. Only reframed.
Yes, I actually own one. No, it’s not worth the money unless you play the video on a screen the size of your hand.
