What's an insta360 camera?
It's a GoPro counterfeit. You see, when Western companies send their tech to be manufactured in China, it's a given that those technical specs will be shared with all their "cousins," who each make their own counterfeit version of your product and flood the market with them. Since you paid for all the R&D, you need to recoup that investment. Meaning you can't compete with the cheap knockoffs, leading to you losing market share and the Chinese scammers stealing the bulk of the market share at your expense. "Thanks, yangguizi!"
Some 360 camera brand. Looks a lot like dji so i never trusted them
True, but a few social influencers have pushed it, and it's fairly cheap. The prices have dropped a lot in the past 10 days which has made them pop to the top of lists as a best buy. I looked at them just three days ago, but passed them up because of the crazy data size.
After all that, I didn't see this till just now so I'm kinda happy.
I've seen them in shops but the fact that the 360 photos can only be seen in their app turned me off.
I've used a few 360 cameras before and tbh they're very gimmicky because of the fact you need special software to view them at the time.
