  1. So – it was made clear that this is a sponsored video – is there clarity on what that means exactly? Does he have to hit a list of talking points? Total free reign? Also curious about the $ side but don't expect an answer to that.

  2. Really cool tech that I just don’t see real use case for outside of tiny artistic angles spliced into something. I just don’t see how this is a “main” camera outside of maybe automotive sports? It beats a GoPro when it comes to composition but then the quality isn’t quite there in comparison to a traditional lens/sensor setup of current action cams. 360° 5.7k is pretty different from your typical 3840×2160 (“4K”) resolution doing a side by side. Would love to see a 360° cam that you can lock off an angle and that view be at least UHD and indistinguishable to say a GoPro/action cam of the month THEN I think it has mainstream appeal.

  3. Great review, I've used insta360s for a while. One other thing I'd mention as a slight negative, or at least warn users: it's very easy to scratch a lens (or 2), so make sure you use the rubber lens cover as soon as you're not using it.
