Mi Sphere: Xiaomi Mi Sphere review and sample - why it's the best 360 camera under $300 (360 video)

This is a 360 video sample and the most in-depth review of the Xiaomi Mijia Mi Sphere, xiaomi's 360 camera. I discuss what makes the Mi Sphere a great 360 camera (the best under $300). Unlike most other Mi Sphere reviews, this entire review is a 360 video shot on the Mi Sphere so you can see its quality under various circumstances. I also include a comparison of Mi Sphere against other popular 360 cameras. Full in-depth written review of the Mi Sphere at 360 Rumors here: https://goo.gl/pjZBrT

I've been shooting with this Xiaomi 360 camera since May 2017. I was also the first YouTube vlogger to demonstrate its image stabilization. I showed the first invisible 360 camera effect on YouTube with this camera. This video shows you everything about this 360 camera and why it is suddenly so popular among those who know anything about 360 cameras.

Note: the Mi Sphere now has a PC app. If you have a PC, you can batch stitch photos and videos at full resolution, regardless of your phone. No Mac app yet.
