In the beginning...

My path to wanting a 360 degree video camera was born upon discovering the Pie app on Product Hunt.  Pie's tagline is "Make and watch 360 videos with your iPhone." I was curious as all these 360 videos in Pie's stream were being created.  The videos, featuring the poster's arm extended holding their iPhone while around them was a fully scrollable 360 panorama of their surroundings -- left/right & up/down.  I didn't think 360 video hardware could be packed on an iPhone and be so lightweight.   It looked like there was some sort of hardware attached to the top of their camera.

And there it was in the Pie demo video:



(Note: the 360 videos look more impressive on the Pie app than they do on the web.)

So I googled for this 360 camera.  It was called the Insta360 Nano.  And it was available on Amazon Canada for $252 -- so I ordered it, and it arrived the next day...
