Pros
Pro Works great when exposed to the elements
The 360eyeora is shock, vibration, dust, and water resistant, making it very suitable for outdoor use.
Pro Footage isn't stitched
360eyeora captures footage in a unique way. It captures what's reflected off of the cone beneath the lens. It allows capturing 360-degree photos and videos with a single lens. That essentially means the image is uniformly lit and has no stitches.
Pro Can take pictures while recording video footage
Users can take still photos, even when the device is recording video footage. This can come in handy when one wishes to take a still or capture something in a particular direction.
Pro Convenient remote control
Comes with a Bluetooth remote control that allows you to start and stop video recording without touching the camera.
Pro Available now
Unlike some 360 cameras, the 360eyeora is available for purchase today.
Pro Highly portable
It's very small and lightweight at 70 grams.
Cons
Con Blind spots at the top and bottom
The camera only captures circular videos - not spherical. At the same time, captured footage includes blind spots at the top and bottom.
Con Manual is somewhat confusing
Functions and controls are not explained well in the manual. This implies that the user must learn through trial and error, which is rather time-consuming.
Con Companion app and remote could be better
Missing features from the companion app (such as not being able to wirelessly download videos to one's device) makes for a lackluster experience.
Con Only waterproof up to 1m for 30 mins
IP67 is suitable only for splashes, but IP68 or better is needed for much wetter environments.
Con Recording isn't a smooth process
To record a short video, you have to keep the shutter button pressed in (releasing it stops the recording).
If you want to record a longer video, you have to hold the button then swipe up on the app.
Con Only compatible with newer iPhones
The Insta360 Nano only works with newer iPhones (6/6 plus, 6s/6s plus, 7/7 plus).
However, you can use the camera without a phone, but you won't have a live preview.
Con Poor video quality
Video quality is really inconsistent and lacking in detail. The slightest change in lighting will cause that area to appear under or over exposed, making for a patchy image.
Con No way to use a single camera
You aren't able to take single still images with the camera, 360 degrees is your only option.
Con Easy to damage the camera
It's not the most well-constructed camera and has a fairly plastic-y feel to it. The lenses protrude with no protection, making them easy to damage.
You don't get a hardcase with this camera to protect it in transit, so you'll want to find your own way to protect it while on the move.
