Okay I've been using the X2 once or twice a week for the past 2 months. Mostly for skiing, some car stuff, but mostly skiing.
The pros:
1) Small, compact, and easy to use. I can operate it in the freezing cold with my ski gloves on which has been a huge plus for someone who skis where it's regularly -20C. the screen is easy to navigate and if you set it correctly, it's just a quick button hit to start & stop.
2) The Battery - not to drop names, but my other action camera would die in the freezing cold or if it was running at full steam in the sun within 3-5 minutes. This thing? No problem. I've shot 10+min long timelapses in freezing weather and the thing is fine. It's seriously impressive. This was my biggest worry.
3) The durability. I've whacked it on trees (wouldn't recommend), dunked it in snow and dropped it onto a cliff off a chairlift (whoops! I'm an idiot). The thing has survived it all. I've broken and fixed the pole more often than the camera. My skis are more banged up than this thing, and they've never seen a rock before.
The Cons:
1) The videos take a long time to edit. I do it on my phone because the phone app is much better than the computer app. I have experience with video editing so it's not too too hard, but I can see it being challenging for some. Going into 360video though, you should expect to spend more time on editing than regular videos. There are way more possibilities with 360 post-process reframing, but it will take time.
2) When in low light, stills from videos will not be that crisp, and you should expect that. The stills from videos in bright light are fantastic (seen in the last 2 photos posted) but low light isn't GREAT.
Overall - I would 100% recommend. It's an incredible little camera and for the price it can't be beat!
