- Twin 210-degree cameras provide complete coverage with 5.2K video
- A rear 2.7K camera also comes in the box
- The main camera can be loosened and used as a regular 360 camera
VANDRUE may have created the most versatile and fun Dash -Cam, we’ve seen yet – Triple Camera Element 360 (E360).
Its front camera has Twin 210-degree lenses combined for complete 360-degree coverage of a vehicle’s front and cabin emitting 5.2K video (presumably it is the combination of what is effectively two 2.7K cameras).
The most important 360 camera is complemented by a rear 2.7K camera with an ultra 165 degree view, which is designed to be located on your rear windshield to cover any blind spots from the main camera’s front and cabin screening.
And here is a neat party piece – the front on board camera unit in the element 360 (more commonly known as the E360) is easily removable from a vehicle for use as a regular handheld 360 camera, just as the offers from Insta360 and GoPro.
For such applications, the E360 can be attached to VANDRUE’s handheld mounting -a selfie stick with rack feet (included in the more expensive E360 ACE -bundle), armed with batteries that can operate the camera for up to four hours of record time.
We would not expect the E360 to replace a dedicated 360 camera as the powerful Insta360 X5, but it is a fun feature for users who want to capture the personal touch of their travels beyond Dash Cam’s primary purpose.
E360 costs $ 349.99 / £ 269.99 at Amazon, while the E360 ACE, which adds the handheld assembly, costs $ 459.99 / £ 359.99 at Amazon – We’ve seen significant discounts on these prices already.

Dash cam fun, on board smarts
The VANDRUE E360 is a versatile on board and plain 360 camera, but it is also backed up by the kind of technique we would expect from a serious dash cam.
It contains the current generation of Sony Starvis 2-sensor, HDR video, a quad-core processor, decent night vision features and 15 seconds that are pre-recorded, enabled by motion detection, complete with GPS data.
The front camera has a touch screen, but it can also be checked through basic prompts, while a 24-hour parking mode is available, provided the E360 is attached to the vehicle.
However, it is the main camera’s 360-degree coverage with trouble-free stitching for a distinguished free 5.2K video output, plus its unique handheld state that really stands out.
We are currently conducting an in -depth review of the VANDRUE E360, which will soon be published. From our experiences with other vantrue -dash -cams like E1 Pro, we expect good things. We cannot talk about its quality as a regular 360 camera – however, it is unlikely to challenge the Insta360 X5, our favorite dedicated 360 degree camera.
