Spy gear is just so darn cool! Assuming the persona of James Bond or Sidney Bristow with all their super cool gadgets and gizmos is the kind of imagination play that pre-teens love and parents appreciate. The Panosphere is an awesome spy camera that actually records 360-degree video of whatever room your spy places or slides it into. It features a movable camera eye, and it is really quite small and the technology is pretty darn sophisticated for a toy. First, there are no batteries required! Yes, go ahead and read that again. Power comes via a quick 10 minute USB charge. Secondly the Panosphere comes with its own video review software so that you can make sure you have completed your assignment successfully. Finally there are two lenses that can record a panoramic shot of the room and a fish eye for that warped, wide effect. Our favorite comment came from a Mom who told us she was going to use this to catch the “Not Me” ghost who resides in her home!
