Review: Love all the fun stuff you can do with this thing! - So far, I'm getting quite a bit of entertainment out of this tiny little 360 camera. I have used it for still shots, video and streaming video to Facebook. After my first live stream to Facebook, I noticed camera shoots in 4k video by default which uses twice the bandwidth as the 2K setting. Though it was a little jagged and jiittery at times, people still seemed to enjoy the video and were able interact with me live on Facebook. Setting the video record mode to 2K works better for me while live streaming. The camera is really small and feels like a very high quality piece. The magnetic attachment works very good. I keep the camera magnetically attached if I have the phone in my hand. As a precaution, I remove the camera when I put phone in my pocket. With the magnetic attachment, you can easily remove the camera any time you need to. Mine did not come with any kind of protective case. I found a soft cloth sunglasses storage pouch works decent so I can carry in pocket without worrying about scratching up the lenses. Overall, glad I bought it.
Review: No Brainer for 40$ - I bought the essential phone mainly as an test into how much I would like the plain android OS. I did not have any intention of getting the 360 camera. I happen to see a video of it on Youtube and was intrigued. Then the price dropped down to $40 and I figured why not. I will start with the build quality. This does not feel like something that costs $40. This feels solid, not cheap at all. It feels like it could survive a drop or too depending the landing surface, but i am not gonna try it. Speaking on that, I recommend getting some sort of carrying case, since it has lenses on two sides and most likely is going to spend most of it's time in a bag or pocket, you dont want it to get scratched up. How to use? Line up the 2 connectors with the 2 on the phone and it pretty much slams together due to magnets. It seems to be a little more complicated then simply that however, I found myself a few times getting no reaction from my phone when it was hooked up (light on too) and I have to take it off and adjust it slightly. Once it is connected correctly, the phone is suppose to open up the essential camera app automatically and you are set to start snapping or videoing away. A few times I found this not to be as flawless as it sounds. The camera app would crash or freeze, or no matter how many times I connect and adjust the camera, I would get no reaction from phone. Usually a phone reset corrected it and then i was good to go. Picture quality? I am not an expert in it, but seems pretty good honestly for what your doing. This takes up to 4k videos. The stuff I seen on it however doesnt seem overly sharp or clear but could just be me. The best thing (which is really what its all about anyway) is the type of pictures it takes and the ease of it (once you get it up and running). Taking a 360 video or picture takes no extra effort then taking a regular one since you pretty much hold the phone the same way and use the same camera app. For me, the 360 has no major use everyday, but I have taken it to outdoor BBQs and some dinners and took some great pictures. (Capturing everyone around the fire pit for example). Everyone seems very impressed with it. I don't plan on keeping the Essential phone as my daily phone much longer, but I will definitely be keeping it solely because of the 360 camera. This would be great for vacations, taking 360 videos on some beautiful beaches. For 40$ , even if you dont see an immediate use for it, just get it anyway. It's a steal, and you will regret not getting it if they go out of stock or the price returns to its normal MSRP. If you have the Essential phone, you are probably missing out on the best feature of it if you don't have this. If you don't have the essential phone, well then you can't use this anyway.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it possible to record 4k video without the 360 feature?**
A: Well just take it out and use the phone camera 🙄

**Q: Does this work with any phone? Or only the Essential phone?**
A: It will only work with the Essential Phone. It has two pins that connect to the two pins on the back of the phone

**Q: how to take 360° photos without including myself?**
A: Prop it on something or mount on a tripod with phone adapter (must be able to mount vertically without interfering with the camera connection). There is a 2 sec. or 10 sec. shutter delay option that you select at the top of the screen. Run and hide!!! Alternatively, you can edit the photo with Photoshop to black-out or blur the bottom of the image (where you appear).

**Q: I'm not talking frame grab from a video.  There is a difference in quality.  Will it also shoot 360-deg still photos?**
A: Yes it will take a still 360..

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great concept, OK quality, sometimes garbled
*by P***Z on March 6, 2019*

I love the camera for its ease of use, great looking picture styles especially the mini-planet style. However it is in no way a match to the quality of a full photosphere in terms of resolution. However the convenience of being able to capture 360° in one snap and not have to worry about subjects moving during the capture sequence cannot be denied. The video recording feature sometimes has garbled bits of video. The camera communicates with the phone wirelessly, and it seems that signal is not always as good as it should be. Google Photos does a great job of displaying the 360° photos, and the Google Photos mobile app can display the recorded videos in VR mode as well which is nice. The camera does get hot from use, and I have had it shutdown and give me an on screen message to let it coll and use my regular camera for a while after recording video on a hot day for about 20 minutes.
