\nEXECUTIVE SUMMARY<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Xiaomi Mi Sphere is an excellent 360 camera that is tied for has the highest image quality for photos up to around $600 (for photo quality, the other 360 camera would be $699 GoPro Fusion<\/a>), and among the highest video quality up to around $300\u00a0or less. \u00a0On top of that, its image stabilization works pretty well. \u00a0It had several drawbacks when it was first launched, but many of those have been addressed, so that it now has only a few remaining weaknesses.<\/p>\n
