Hachiko Crossing Insta360 at Night, Shibuya, Japan
I originally bought the Insta360 ONE X2 for cycling videos, but the very first clip had to be a walk through Shibuya at night.
Neon lights, crowds and movement — it's a perfect place to see what a 360-degree camera can really do.
Since filming this, I've added a selfie stick so my hand no longer appears in shot (progress!), and I now use this setup regularly for cycling and city footage.
