Most of the newer cameras are either 4K, 5K, or 5.7K (seems to be some odd naming conventions).
1080p is 1920 x 1080.
4K is 4096 × 2160 (or so).
5.7K is about 5760 x 2880 pixels.
So, considering both directions, you end up with something that is about 4x or 5x as large.
One issue with a 360 mount is that it may need to be put on a level part of the helmet to get good 360 degree views.
I can't say about live rear view. I don't like looking down at my handlebars (and thus dislike handlebar mounted mirrors).
Keep in mind that dusk and dawn performance may suffer with many of the cameras. I had a Cycliq Fly6 (rear), and was very disappointed with the dusk and dawn performance, as well as the dark performance. I haven't tried the 12.
The Cycliq Fly6 and Fly12 are the best optimized for bikes. They have a unique feature of auto shut-off when laid on their side (with a delay).
I complain whenever I encounter Micro USB-B. I see the new 3rd gen Fly6 has a USB-C (which I hope is better). Is the Fly12 going through an update. Also with USB-C.
I'd prefer if it went to wireless + wireless charging (or 2-contact magnetic charging).
I am disappointed that Cycliq hasn't upgraded beyond 1080p, 32gb.
