Anyone using 360 cameras?

Last week I was filming a conference for Water New Zealand. I would film part of the day and then edit a wrap of what happened.
this time I took a newly bought Osmo 360 with me to spice up some of the videos.
I was very happy with how it went as was the client. Just to cap it off several news programs had seen the footage and asked to use it in their stories. (They kept asking for the drone footage ) My client was cool about this.
The Osmo 360 is a very versatile camera that lets you do something creative. My only issue was as I was editing in Davinci Resolve I had to "pre-edit" in DJI Studio, baking in my looks and moves before exporting to DR. It took time I really didn't have.
Here are the videos.

That's awesome. I've thought about getting the Insta360 x5 - but was curious of how different the DJI was...Have you done any side-by-side comparisons?

I love new toys!

A friend has the Insta360 X5 and it seems very similar, just more expensive. To be honest it was more the DJI 360 doesn't over heat as much and can do 10bit log footage that swung me in the end.
The issue is the editing. Apparently PP has a plugin, DR has a 3rd party plugin but you still need to export mp4 from the DJI editor.
I ended up doing all the framing in DJI Studio but the speed ramps in DR.
The only other thing was keeping the right distance to get the best shot. Too close and it's too fish-eye, too far and you lose too much detail.
