The gyro stabilization that is built into the camera allows for users to get steady shots, regardless of any vibration sent through the phone.

There is no need for computing power to make 360° images or videos as the internal software stitches the two images together to reproduce a 360° video or image.
Pro Small and portable
Luna is 6 cm in diameter, making it a small device that can easily be stored or pocketed. This implies that the user can carry the device around with them hassle-free.

Pro Expendable storage
The storage for ALLie Cam can be expanded from the default 4.7GB.
Pro No blind spots
ALLIe Cam has two fisheye lenses which allow it to record 360x360 videos. Something that most 360-degree cameras can't do.
Cons
Con Not yet released
It appears that the item is still a pre-order and that shipments will not go out until October 2016. This is worrisome as other cameras in the past have failed to deliver, which means it may be best to wait until an official release.
Con Unable to capture images
The ALLie Cam is only capable of capturing videos, and not still images.
Con Must be plugged in
Camera power is AC only at this time meaning its movement is restriced. Battery power is planned for the future. How this will be done seems to be through accessories, which may add bulk or dongles to the device.
