Got my Xiaomi Mijia Mi sphere in the mail today and that's what's said on the box there
I can read Chinese so just trust me on that one that's what it says fluent in
it so let's take a look at it all right
there it is straight away it rears its face and it's covered in plastic all right nice
that's very light it's almost like a deck of cards like it feels like the
plastic case you would buy a deck of cards in feels good already I like that
it's simple and that that the front and back don't really have any
buttons on them it's a very simple design covered in plastic take that off
check this Oh all right I like it so far so good so I've got a couple of buttons
there so we get on off Wi-Fi so this one's obviously record and on the bottom
we have our tripod thread great and I guess these might be the sound recording
speakers and on the side we have a USB port cool
what what we put in there so micro SD micro
SD goes there and there's just a charging port
okay let's see what else is in the box Oh how do I put it down that's the
question I would like to put it like that but now I be putting on the lens
I'll put a balancer on one side for now all right take this out we've got some
legs yep great this is one of the things I love about the gear 360 it has legs
specifically made for it and these are perfect
so that'll mean that the camera is safe unlike most other cameras that just
don't have legs obviously they do take up space in your 360 photos but you can
edit them out in Snapseed it's not that hard and it's worth it for peace of mind
and when your cameras not going to tip over because this one would easily tip
over if you just put it on a hard surface all right great
and what else do we have in this box okay we have a pouch nice it's like a good solid
pouch excellent I don't know where you put the legs maybe there's room for the
legs somewhere we have to carry them separately and we have USB cable and we
have instructions but they're all in Chinese so the average person that
doesn't speak Chinese this is pretty useless there's no way of knowing what
any of this says yes of course I know what it all says but that's just because
I'm an excellent Chinese speaker will summarize it for you turn the camera on
press record now let's see if I can turn it on the
straightaway yep or in business
so exciting video mode
okay I guess that means I need to put a micro SD card in but I'm liking this a
lot already I like the design I like the simplicity of it and this was actually
very affordable I paid maybe 300 Australian which is about maybe 250 US
and from what I've heard so far this is going to be the number one competitor of
the Theta S you can do basically everything that the theta can do but
it's cheaper and in some areas it's better so I'll be sure to post more
about this camera as I play with it and I'll be sure to put out a review and all
kinds of other cool stuff so you'll definitely want to subscribe to that my
good friend Michael from 360 rumors has already got a ton of videos on his
YouTube channel just go to youtube.com slash 360 rumors you can see these
tutorials and whatnot I know I'm being silly about the Chinese but this actually could be an
issue because most of that information is in Chinese
even their app has a lot of Chinese in the App Store and it's really hard to
find okay that's great that so far it's in English but this is
only recently that they updated this it's all been in Chinese up until this
point so hopefully they have lots of English information that's easily
accessible these look like user-generated photos
which are all in Chinese I won't waste your time by bringing them out to you so
this is an awesome photo oh I love this camera or look at me and looking at the
camera look how cool I am yeah so this is more or less like all the other
cameras up so far so good looking forward to going out with this and
really seeing what it can do I think that's exposure is going to be really
good all I like that design that has a battery level there and you wouldn't
even notice it if it wasn't on if you wouldn't notice
it there's an LED light underneath very cool I like this camera a lot already
