I've seen some dramatic 360deg videos but I'm OK with my phone's "Panorama mode" and "Virtual Shot" on the rare occasions I want a 360 deg photo*
Would be good to see to downhill MTB action.
*Which to date is never.
My fondness for the 360 snapshot has increased as I've used them, as yet only stitched from my phone (more added to the album). For example,
this 360 of my local bluebell wood actually imparts some sense of what it is like to stand there. Or,
this one from a tour, even though it is somewhat poorly taken and stitched still means more to me than any snapshot.
However, as can be seen, results from a phone are patchy at best, and time consuming to achieve, which is why I am experimenting with the dedicated cam. I strongly suspect that I am going to get hacked off with the low resolution, but let's see.
ETA. I've worked out how to summarise it now: 360 is about recording being there, as opposed to recording something you can see from there.
