Insta360 Nano is a small 360-degree camera which easily fit with your iPhone 6 or 6s and use its screen to frame the video. But remember it only fit with 6, 6s, 6 plus and 6s plus. Any other smaller version of iPhone like 5 aren’t right fit for it.
Kogeto Dot
Many of you may have become disappointed when I first discussed about Insta360 Nano. Don’t worry who of you have iPhone 5, 5s, 4s or even 4 can now capture 360 videos with Kogeto Dot.

GoPano Micro
GoPano Micro is the miniature version of GoPano lens. These were made only for iPhone 4 and 4s. It allows you to capture 360 panoramic videos. The only thing you have to do is to place your device into a custom designed case which comes with the lens. Then you download GoPano app and start shooting. The case is designed in such a way that you can record videos perfectly even if you hold the phone vertically. The biggest problem of GoPano Micro is, while you plug the lens with the device it isn’t secure enough. A slight shake can dislocate the lens. That’s why it’s not suggested to capture videos in a crowded place.
Apps For Capturing 360 Videos
You will find many 360 video recorder apps on the app store. Here I’m just introducing you with some of them and their limitations and advantages.
Splash
It is a new iPhone app and was designed to create both 360 videos and photos. In this app you will find other user’s created contents and yours too of course. This app also gives you other facilities like you can directly share your 360 videos on any social site via a link. The most interesting thing is this app is totally free.
Fyuse
Fyuse is another app which does exactly the same things that Splash does except one thing. It can only create photos. With this app you can also share your contents on Facebook or twitter.
Now you know all basic things you need to capture 360 videos with your iPhone. You just have to choose which gadget and app is right fit for you.
