I haven't seen any discussion on 360 cameras but have decided to get the insta360 x3. I would be interested in anyone's experience with the x3 or any other 360 cameras. I really like the idea. We'll see if I end up liking the fact.

I use a Ricoh Theta Z1 regularly to produce virtual tours for real estate - very easy to use with impressive results. I'm sure the insta 360 will provide comparable results

There have been some discussions on here about them. Try doing a search. But my number one piece of advice from using mine is to make sure you have the computing power to process and edit the videos.

I have the Insta 360 x3. This is my third 360 camera. I love it. I have taken it all over, Africa, Cuba, Italy, Iceland. It is fun to play with. While I am good with a single image, I am still trying to master videos.

Here are a few of my images.

Having never paid attention to 360 cameras, you just got my attention! I may need one of those more than I thought!

Just got mine and the first few hours learning and seeing results have been positive.

Reminds me of working with the 6mm fisheye. Tried it, didn't like the image effects. Glad I just rented the lens.

The nice thing about this camera is it takes photo or video of 360 then you can go in and pick out what you want to capture after the fact in a normal frame without distortion.

What does a "normalized" 360 image look like ? Anything like the examples below ?

No, not at all. Check out my images in a post above. One of the things I love about the 360 camera is I can take 1 image and manipulate it about 5-6 different ways.

I saw those and enjoyed them, but would not have thought that those images are what is considered to be "a normal frame without distortion". I consider them to be "pleasantly weird" !
