    Insta360 Air-img_20170220_142458.jpg

    New 360-degree camera just hit my desk. The Insta360 Air is a tiny camera that connects to your USB-C phone and uses that as the brains instead of a standalone Bluetooth connection. Craziest thing about this camera out of the box? It comes with a rigid USB cable so you can connect it to your PC and it will hold the camera out in the air.

    It's cool that the camera is light enough to that, and the little rubber case it comes with lets you toss the camera in your pocket and run off.

    Going to use this over the next couple of days, so fire away if you have any questions!

    Nice!

    The Insta360 got my interest as a 360 I would like to try out. Glad to know @Russell Holly you got one.

    Question the first....

    How is the setup for the Insta360 on your mobile device of choice?

    SUPER painless. Install app, create account on Insta360, plug in camera.

    Do you believe a screen size of 5.5 or above is recommended with the Insta360?

    Nah, there's a fair bit of unused space on my Pixel XL. Should be fine with smaller displays.

    Ah man I've been thinking about getting a 360 cam before the summer festivals hit. This looks like it could fit into a pocket pretty easily.

    Yeah, it creates less pocket bulge than my car keys and the rubber casing keeps the lenses safe. It's not a bad design.
