When Lenovo announced the Moto Z2 Force last week, it also unveiled two new Moto Mods: a 360-degree camera and a gaming controller, the latter of which you can check out in our hands-on article. The one that I was given is the 360-degree camera.

To be clear, all of the Mods that were announced for the first-generation model still work, and the two new ones will work with the original Moto Z with a software update.
It’s a simple process, as Lenovo promises. All the user has to do is snap the Mod onto the back of the phone, and it just works.
Obviously, you can take 360-degree images with the camera (roughly 19 megapixels) which will be the default mode when you launch the Camera app. Luckily, it’s easy to toggle between that and the main camera.

It also provides you with a solid amount of options for taking your picture. You can use it to take a 150-degree wide-angle shot, which could prove to be more useful than a 360-degree image. There’s also a professional mode that allows you to adjust the white balance, shutter speed, ISO sensitivity, and brightness (there’s no manual focus, as it’s a fixed-focus camera).
And then there’s video, which is where the usefulness of the 360-degree camera really comes in. The Mod supports recording 4K 360-degree video, and you can view that with any virtual reality headset.
