Two very different cameras sharing one battery and core
The twin edition is two cameras for less than the price of two cameras. Swapping the 360 lens onto the core takes about a minute
Used for: 6–12 months
Goes in the pool without a housing
Lens guards are an extra purchase
Waterproof to a useful depth without the case, which is the bit I care about at the pool. Lens guards are essential and I wish they came in the box
Used for: 3–6 months
Invisible selfie stick shots look properly professional
The 360 lens picks up scratches if you look at it
The 360 lens on a selfie stick is a party trick that never gets old!
Used for: 6–12 months
Reframing after the fact means you never miss a shot
Editing 360 footage needs a strong computer
Mounted on the handlebars for a week in the Alps and the reframing afterwards is where the magic is. You film everything and decide where to point the camera at home, on the sofa, with a cup of tea. Rendering does take a while on an older laptop
Used for: 1–3 months
Overheats on long takes and the mounting frame is fiddly
Three stars is being generous and the reason is heat. In 4K the core will run for roughly twenty five minutes in a cool room before the warning appears, and on a sunny day outside it is a good deal less than that. For a bike ride that is fine. For filming a whole match from a tripod it is not. The other niggle is the mounting frame. There are three separate plastic parts to assemble before it goes on anything, and if you drop the little clip in long grass you are hunting for it on your knees.
