Polaroid’s new Panorama Eyeball Head ($50) is a gadget that lets you make 360-degree panoramic photos and videos easily with your existing cameras. The battery-operated device works with compact and DSLR cameras, smartphones, GoPro action cams and small camcorders, or any capture device with a screw mount, and is controlled through an included remote.

The Panorama EyeBall Head spins 360 degrees in either direction, and the steady rotating capture helps software (in-camera or post-edit) better stitch photos together to create a seamless panoramic image (although anything in fast motion will look weird; it’s best for still images), or a smooth video – without shaking from your hands that mars the photo or video. Rotational speed can be adjusted with the remote, as well as timed intervals, and a 75-degree position. Legs flip out to rest the ball on a surface, but the unit can also mount onto a tripod.

Any small camera with a tripod mount can screw onto the top. An adapter for phones is included.

The rechargeable battery has a five-hour standby time, or three hours when in use. The camera mounts right on top of the ball, while included adapters let you attach a GoPro camera or smartphone.

We're already seeing the best Cyber Monday camera deals all over.

Why you should buy the Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 instant camera bundle
The Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 is an instant camera that gives you the photo that you took in just a few seconds. It prints immediately, like an old-school Polaroid. It's also very beginner-friendly, as it will automatically choose the most appropriate shutter speed based on your surroundings for the perfect shot. The Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 also has a selfie mode that you can activate by pulling out the lens barrel, and you can use the selfie mirror to make sure that you're taking the perfect selfie.
