From the very beginning of Google, Nokia, Samsung, to the current LG, 360 Heros, Jaunt VR, Next VR, more and more companies are starting to put chips on VR content creation. (One of the biggest problems with VR at present is the lack of Content) have all invested in the field of panoramic cameras. There are also many domestic manufacturers who are doing panoramic cameras. They may be based on special national conditions. Domestic panoramic camera products will be more inclined to consumer-grade. Their low price and high cost performance allow users to experience the contents of VR at a low cost. creation. The Insta360 Nano we reviewed this time is a thousand-level VR panoramic camera.
ExteriorInsta360 Nano's packaging is very creative, the box itself is a VR box, VR box lies an Insta360 Nano, USB data cable, bags, instructions.
Insta360 Nano uses a straight shape, gray mixed color. The overall shape is sturdy and simple. The front and rear lenses are used to design the camera. Each lens has an ultra-wide angle of 210°.

There is a Micro USB port and a Micro SD card slot at the bottom.
It's hard to imagine that the Insta360 Nano bare-metal net weight is only 70g, size: 110x33x21mm, such a compact body is enough to complete the shooting of 3K panoramic video. Thanks to its size, Insta360 Nano can be carried anywhere, anytime. Connect with iPhone via Lightning, plug and play.

We can shoot with the Insta360 Nano's circular power button, and the captured panoramic photos/videos are automatically saved on the Micro SD card.
Actual experience
Sister with a panoramic camera from the film is also the United States and the United States ~
In actual experience, whether it is indoors or outdoors, there is no problem in using Insta360 Nano for panoramic shooting. The exposure and color of the screen are close to the actual scene. Although the Insta360 Nano's image/video is stitched by two 210° cameras, there is no splicing problem either in the picture or in the video. This is one of the most important differences between the Insta360 Nano and some of the cheaper panoramic cameras on the market. .
During the shooting process, after Insta360 Nano pressed the shutter, the reaction time of the imaging was short, and the processing could be completed within 0.5 seconds (not including the shutter time). The overall experience was the same as that of the iPhone's own camera. Without using the anti-shake pan/tilt and hand-held camera, the Insta360 Nano's imaging can basically guarantee the image is not empty. Although the details of the panoramic photos can't be compared with the photos of the flagship mobile phone, the sample still has to be guaranteed. Content. As a thousand-thousand-degree panoramic camera, being able to have such a performance is also a pleasant surprise.

Panoramic videos taken with Insta360 Nano:
The panoramic video shot with Insta360 Nano is .insv format, shooting 47 seconds, the video capacity is 160MB, because Youku does not support the .insv format, we use Insta360 Nano App on mobile phones, the video conversion is exported to .MP4 format, and then directly Upload Youku. Because Youku's VR channels compress the panorama video more severely, even the ultra-clear mode has some differences from the original image quality.
We can see that in a single hand-held shooting panorama video, Insta360 Nano's screen is naturally stitched, and even if there is a slight dithering panoramic video, there will be no fragmentation or mosaic.

For VR content creation, the most critical thing is sharing. If every VR content needs to pass complex and tedious steps to share to a social/video site, then it will be fatal. Insta360 Nano supports one-click sharing function. We can share the captured panoramic pictures/videos to Sina Weibo, Wechat friends, Facebook, Twitter, and QQ space. For example, we will share an Insta360 page in the WeChat circle of friends and open it. Pages We can perfectly view panoramic images/videos by dragging .
(Note: Due to the space occupied by Insta360 Nano's panoramic video, the size of the video will be compressed after sharing to social networking sites.)
About panoramic broadcast
The panoramic broadcast can be said to be one of the main uses of the panoramic camera. At present, most panoramic cameras on the market do not have the panoramic broadcast function. Insta360 Nano's live broadcast function is included in the test (requires an invitation code). Insta360 Nano has opened a live streaming SDK, which is compatible with third-party broadcast platforms. After the third-party live broadcast platform is plugged into the SDK, users can pass the Insta360 Nano on the live stream. Live broadcast on the platform. Users can also broadcast live through Insta360's own live broadcast function. It can set up to 2M bit rate, 1440P resolution and 30FPS.
Although VR is very hot this year, but due to the lack of a large number of high-quality VR content, most users experience the VR experience is still in the "fresh" stage, content, price, technology restricts the development of the VR industry in many ways. In fact, most users will be willing to spend a small amount of money to buy a cheap VR box to try, and at this time, the expansion of VR content is becoming an industry just need.
At present, most of the devices on the market that can capture VR panoramic video are few, and most manufacturers only sell high-priced panoramic cameras. The average user will not try it easily. This product is similar to one of the panoramic camera manufacturers. "Signature" is not easy to spread. Compared to them, there are a few products on the market such as Insta360 Nano, which maintains a lower price, highlights the price/performance ratio of the panoramic camera, and makes it easier for consumers to accept. This thousand-machine-class panoramic camera may become a VR. The basic tool for panoramic content production.
