I shoot a fair bit of video, and I'm tempted by a 360 camera. I ordered the DJI 360, but that deal collapsed as the dealer couldn't get the camera.
I'm trying to decide if I've had a lucky escape, or am I missing a useful addition to my cameras.
What are your thoughts, anyone use a 360?
I actually prefer the look of X5, but the DJI was silly cheap ( possibly why the dealer bailed).

if you shoot a lot, i would think it's a useful addition if you can justify the cost for use in special cases that make it worthwhile e.g. walking/moving, racing, events backstage, unpredictable action (you can reframe), virtual tours, bts....
 
Thanks both.
Yes, I think a lot of what they do is more special case, but the do have the advantage of the full 360, and apparently they work well as action/ vlog type stuff.
I'm seriously tempted.
