"Nice little action camera that is as good if not better than GoPro"

Insta360

"Being able to reframe the shot due to the 360 camera takes the stress out of capturing footage. You can also use the deep track feature when following and filming a ski buddy. Which gives a really professional look. Buy it, you won’t be disappointed."
"Small and light(26.5g), imo it's the best cheap option for a helmet mounted camera."
"Make videos from different angles"
"I am actually shopping the Insta360 x3 right now because I just came home from a ride today and my footage is mostly scrapped. Also the bonus is that with the x3 you can record once and crop for shorts/Insta/Tiktok and use the same recording for a full 4k edit as well."
"Neat when you have a LOT of time later to reframe your shots"
"None"
