New Xiaomi Mi Panoramic 360 Camera

Wanted to get one too, but it had a black hole on one of the two cameras. Today I’ve got a new one - same. The first one was a Chinese model (telling from the packaging and manuals) and the 2nd one seems international (English packaging/manual), from Ingram Micro.

Had you guys have experienced this too? I’ve tried updating, but it didn’t help except that it enables interval shooting. Also, the images are fine when reducing the resolution, however the preview stays broken. Videos are broken no matter which resolution. Should I try with a third one or has someone an alternative for ~300€?
