Another great use for the OP.

I was in a local park yesterday and a group of undesirables were drinking heavily and getting loud.  I wanted to photograph them in case it 'kicked off' but didn't want to point a camera at them for obvious reasons.

Solution.  I set my OP to 180 Pano and faced an area that was 90 degrees to the mob.  They took no notice of me and the final image of the four pano images was a perfect photo of the them.    As it happens, they settled down and nothing happened.

This could be useful in a number of situations .

the other day, I was filming in the forest and this lady thought I was holding a gun!!

This happened to me when I used it at the park in flashlight mode and someone told me it looked like a gun.  I had a grip connected to the GoPro mount now that I think about it does resemble like if I was holding a weapon.  It sounds ridiculous but since then I try not to use it in flashlight mode anymore in public places and use the phone bracket instead.  Photographers have died in the past when people mistaken their tripods for a weapon. It’s crazy and ridiculous but it can happen.  Most people still don’t know what the Osmo Pocket is and I would also think the same if I didn’t know better.

Did some volunteer work with some prisoners.  Before I got started filming I showed the guard my camera, cell

These are the images that relate to my post.  The group of men were quite intoxicated and it looked like a fight was about to start.  I wanted to record it in case it got nasty but didn't want them to be aware of what I was doing (I'm not that brave).  So, as I said I was pointing the OP at 90 degrees to them and it just looked like I was taking a photo of the buildings.   The 4th frame give a good clear photo of the group.
I might have got away with just taking a single photo with the lens swivelled round pointing to the right .  The OP is so small I doubt anyone would be aware.
