alt Hacker NewsReminds me of the insta go 360 3s cam I bought recently, have to install a mobile app on your phone to activate it. At least you can uninstall the app after.
The hardware is amazing, the software could improve in terms of how it deals with motion blur and surfaces like gravel.
Now that you mention it, DJI action cameras required the same thing (installing an app to activate the camera). I bought one, discovered this during setup, and promptly returned it and got a GoPro instead.
