Too expensive for too little gain....cool idea but need a big price drop...

It seems cool if it's multi-use of course. Probably cheaper than purchasing and maintaing a RC version.

Many applications, recreation, sports, real estate/commercial photography, etc.

Expensive for a 1-trick pony, but a very cool concept! Now if you could hang it from a string/cable and cause it to remote fire as well...

Heck, you could do your own Google maps style of walk through on a house or something with a little tweaking.

Agree. Too expensive but does take very interesting shots. I wonder what happens if you drop it from a building.

If I had one of these, I'll probably tie a string on it. Hate to loose a $600 camera over the Grand Canyon.

You can also trigger all the shutters by touching a button built into the ball or by remote-controlling them with Panono’s app.

according to the article it will remote fire

I used to have throwable golf clubs. I don't think my camera would take the same abuse as my 7 iron.
