The Insta360 Nano, a 360-degree camera for the iPhone, is being released tomorrow. I’ll post my first impressions as soon as I receive it, hopefully by the end of the day.
One concern that I have is that the Nano attaches directly to the lightning port, and I’m wondering whether I can use it with my smartphone case.
I have doubts because the extender isn’t Apple-certified and I got a popup warning saying that it might not be fully compatible with the iPhone.
Anyway, I’ll let you guys know either way.
UPDATE: Good news and bad news. Bad news is that the lightning extender that I got doesn’t work. However, reader Nao Nabe was able to use a certified lightning extension cable to work (he reports that his cheaper cables did not work). Meanwhile, Insta360 told me that they will have a lightning adapter in August to enable the Nano to connect to iPhones other than the iPhone 6 series. I’m hoping the same adapter will enable me to use the Nano with my case.
But till now they have not come out with the adapter right???

Just piping in here for anyone who might need it, this adapter confirmed to work with my iPhone 12 Mini: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08L9FCVYJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
