Xiaomi Mi Sphere Camera 4K Panorama Action Camera

Excelente Camara. Facil de Usar. Se configura de forma sencilla con el celular. De preferencia usarla con la MicroSD de alta tranferencia (Las que especifica la aplicacion) para una mejor respuesta y evitar calentamiento. El tiempo de duracion de la Batería es arriba del promedio. Depende de su uso obviamente. Si se está constantemente conectada al celular y grabando dura hasta 2 horas, las cuales son mas de lo requerido al realizar tomas 360. Si se usa en modo Timer es excelente. Uno puede ir caminando y programar que cada 2,5,10,30 segs tome una foto. Excelente para realizar un recorrido, no perder ningun detalle y ahorrar batería.
En fin, es una camara sencilla, hay que cuidarla de la humedad y cambios bruscos de temperatura porque puede experimentar condensacion (Como cualquier camara). La bolsa que viene con la camara es excelente! De preferencia, siempre tener una microfibra supersuave y muy limpia, ya que el cristal es delicado en cuanto a la grasa que pueda contener una microfibra, de preferencia destinar una exclusivamente para la camara. El tripie que viene con la Camara es de muy buena manufactura, resistente y practico. Al mismo tripie puedes agregarle un Palo de Selfie y funciona excelente, pero eso si, debes de tener cuidado en lugares donde hace aire, ya que puede voltearse y hacer que la camara se golpee si se llega a caer. En general, estoy sumamente contento con mi compra

I'm very happy with this purchase. The physical camera is really solid, the resulting 360° photos are crisp and the videos are very smooth. This is my first 360 camera so I can't say how it compares to others but I found it to be very high quality.

The reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the Mi Sphere software was a bit tricky to find and install... Though this may just be the Australian Google Play store. There's the "Mi Sphere" software which the Play Store wouldn't let me download because it said my tablet was incompatible, even though my tablet is a Xiaomi Mi Pad 4! There's also the MadV software which is for what appears to be a differently branded version of the same camera which was glitchy... FINALLY I got it working by downloading the official "Mi Sphere" APK from outside the PlayStore. (Just be sure to get it from a reputable source)

Once it was set up it was just brilliant. One interesting and unavoidable thing I noticed is that if you have a lot more light going into one lense that the other then you get a weird halo effect... Otherwise it's perfect.

I've linked to a video I took with the Mi Sphere attached to a selfie stick as I walk through Santiago de Compostella.

I bought this product 1 month ago. It works properly how I expected from Xiaomi.
Very good and sharp pictures. The video is also good.It does 4k videos however in Samsung Gear VR it is blurred and pixelized.
The mobile app is very good, but the desktop app did not work to me. I recorded many videos and it took a while to download and convert them with my phone. Here I have to mention that the camera heats after 20-30 minutes. The metal frame bacames so hot you even cannot hold it in your hands. I don't think it's good to the battery.
In overall Im satisfied with this product. I would be much more happier if the desktop app would work and the remote controllel would not be so expensive (available only on Amazon) as conecting with your phone all the time and using it just to remotly handle your shots is a bit bothering to me.
One more comment: why the front lens is on that side where the led indicators are? Because of this (i didn't know that before) all my videos has been recorded in a wrong direction, therfore in VR glasses i have to turn 180 degrees every time.

What a great tool to capture an immersive experiential image! No longer are you hindered by trying to frame your subjects as now there IS no frame - your world and surroundings is your frame! I am still playing with it but it sure is a new way to capture a moment in time.

The image quality is great - even in low light. It's ultra compact - travels with me everywhere (little tripod attached). Very good with image stabilization. Love how you don't need your phone to make it work as you're on the go (just to set up the initial recording type / length / etc.) You can review it all later. You'll be shocked at how well it seams together the edges.

It runs a little warm and does drain battery after continuous use (a few hours worth) but you can charge it while you use it (your cord may be in the picture) with an external 3rd party battery-pack.

Keep in mind that in order to view the photos, you need to be wary of how you usually view it. Google, social media, etc. Do research on how you'll experience / share them afterwards as many sites don't cater to 360 content.

Camera davvero ben concepita, di facile utilizzo e molto robusta, dal rapporto qualità/prezzo eccellente, come ormai Xiaomi ci ha abituato con i suoi prodotti!
Controllabile in tutte le sue funzioni dall'app (per Android e iOS) scaricabile gratuitamente dai rispettivi store.
L'app consente anche un leggero post editing, convertendo direttamente dallo smartphone, le immagini e video in formato corretto per la visione a 360°sui social network e permettendone la pubblicazione diretta!
La qualità dei video è abbstanza buona e quella delle foto ancora meglio! Il software compone le immagini in modo quasi perfetto, rendendo invisibile, o quasi, la cucitura tra le riprese dei due obiettivi della cam! Davevro ottima!!
A corredo della Cam trovate un piccolo e pratico treppiede ed una comoda custodia.
Unico neo, la batteria non è rimovibile ma la cam funziona anche mentre è in carica, quindi potete usare una piccola power bank, magari attaccata al treppiede, per le lunghe riprese (oltre i 70 minuti).
Consigliatissima!!

Suggestion

La batteria non è rimovibile
