Lofty price aside, the Panono is a different kind of 360-degree camera.
It starts with its appearance. The grapefruit-sized camera is covered with 36 cameras — each a 3-megapixel camera — which all fire off simultaneously at the same time when the shutter button is activated. Software then stitches all 36 images into a single 108-megapixel photo, which is then viewable in 360-degrees either on your smartphone or on the web.
The Panono comes with 16GB of internal storage (there's no memory card slot for adding more). The company claims the battery is good for taking up to 200 shots. On average, I managed around 125-150 photos on a single charge before the battery died; this was with me turning the camera on/off to conserve power throughout a day of shooting.
There are a few ways to take 360 pics with the Panono:
- Hold it in your hand and press the shutter button or use the app as a remote
- Attach it on a tripod and use the app as a remote
- Attach it on Panono's selfie stick rod and use the included shutter button on the handle
- Throw it in the air and it'll take a photo at its highest point
