A couple little warnings, the latch can be a little tricky to lock it flat for 180 3D work.
Learn the proper distance to shoot in 3D, getting too close to objects gives you a weird, eye crossing, somewhat uncomfortable, view when viewing in a headset for 3D....if you are new to shooting in 3D, there is a little learning curve to shooting properly. Moving the camera, height of the camera, angle of the camera, distance from objects.....nothing that you can't learn and overcome. A little trial and error, and you can get it down pretty quick.
Don't be curious and photo yourself naked! (unless you are really attractive, or just into that sort of thing)
Me, personally....I will NEVER do THAT again!!!! That was freaking scary...How in the world did I ever get a date?!? We will chalk that one up to "lesson learned!" ...some things just can't be unseen.....
Resolution, crispness, and sharpness of photos....perhaps a little too good..... just say'n.
This was, and still is, an awesome little camera. I see no need to "upgrade" to the newer model just yet as this camera still serves my needs well. Have had this camera for a few years now, and it still works flawlessly.
Battery life, well....it could be better.....not going to lie there, but....you can always run an external battery pack for longer run time, as I also do with my OneX. Image stabilization is A-mazing!!!!!! Insta just does wonders! Great little company! Customer service is really great too, they really do try to work with you to resolve issues.....just be mindful, if you break it, and have to send it in for repair, it will take a little time. Don't forget where the company is.
Even if you aren't using this in a professional setting, it is great for family events, interviews with loved ones, etc....it's as if you are creating a time capsule and placing them inside. Or, yourself, for that matter.
Create a message for your loved ones that will last the sands of time. It's rather bitter-sweet if you think about it. We are beyond the age of flat 2D photos and videos.....now, it really is almost as if you are sitting in the same room together.
