What's great about the Insta360 Evo folding camera is that its structure is rather simple, comprising a pair of halves that can be folded out to record [3D 5K video](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gopro-max2). All you have to do to view the 3D footage in position of the optional filter add-on above the screen of any smartphone that's connected to the camera via WiFi or Bluetooth. When the two segments are folded back together, the camera then reverts to [360-degree video mode](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nokia-360-camera).
