A new way to show off your craziest moments
This thing is impressive! This is my first action camera and I had no idea how great the lenses on these things were. Obviously the product description clearly says it is a 360 degree lens but I honestly thought that was a gimmick and that it was more of just an ultra wide and not true 360 setup. I'm planning on doing some flights with a drone I'm 3d printing, mounting it to the front bumper of my car, longboarding, hiking, and maybe even take it to an airsoft field. The beauty is that I have the samsung gear vr goggles to playback the video so I'll get to more immersively relive some pretty awesome moments. I just wish I had gotten one sooner because this is going with me everywhere.Pros:- comes with a plethora of different mounting options already, and is compatible with tripod (believe it's a 1/4 thread), and gopro style mounts.- really competitive price and you will definitely get your money's worth- simple interface, don't even need to look at the manual to have it figured out.- I REALLY appreciate the inclusion of a spare battery. This will help me a ton on extended use of the camera.- the camera itself has a great build quality and the water proof case feels very robust and extra protective and doesn't add a lot of weight, which is great for the drone footage I intend to get.- lots of different shooting options on the app, very easy user interface.- no problems at all connecting to the phone over wifi.Cons:The battery cover was a bit difficult to get open at first so it's worth noting to be cautious but after opening the cover a few times it came off more easily but not so easy as it would just fall off on its own. I'm assuming there is just a bit of a break in period for the plastic from manufacturing. I can't deduct a star for this as the problem sorted itself out.I couldn't find anything else I didn't like about this camera. Just keep in mind to get the best experience with this you should really consider getting some vr glasses, but even without them you can still create some amazing videos and photos to view on a panoramic viewer on a 2d screen, Facebook supports this and its really cool to look at.Overall I'm really impressed and the price is a steal! Action cameras are getting insane with how much they can do in such a compact package. Don't let the price fool you, this thing is the real deal, no gimmicks whatsoever. You won't regret it. Happy filming!

Nice unit to get started
The unit seems to be well built although it is very light and feels kind of cheap. That being said it does what it's supposed to and it paired with the app just fine. It's really cool to see all the different view points from the app. If you wish to convert your videos to post on FB or YouTube you'll need to convert the videos. I use software called 360fly director and it works just fine. Once you upload to FB or YouTube the output is truly 360 (as close as this can get) and you can control it from YouTube itself.

Not a 360 camera!
This is not a 360 camera, its just a camera with a fisheye lens, it even says it in the description "220 wideangle lens".

Does not recognize any TF cards
This camera is garbage. It does not even recognize my SD card, even though it meets the minimum requirements.

Could not find use for it
Overall, the camera is good. You can get a good pictures and videos. But I could not find software to either convert it to 360 or view it in VR. All the files on the card are raw 'dome' looking and I don't really know what to do with them. I wish there was a program to just "blacken" the other 140 degree part of the image and export it.
