2020 is shaping up to be an exciting year.
They probably remove the the drone from the video through processing, much the same way they currently remove the "invisible" selfie stick mount on the Insta360 One X.LOL! That is quite a blender they got there Best teaser I have seen in 2020 . OK, jokes aside - I am honestly excited about this but how are they going to mount the camera such that it has a full, unobstructed 360° view?

It already really is, if you have ever seen any of the Insta360 One X videos where the mounting stick disappears in the 360° video!That would be a pretty nifty trick!
I would guess you'd be able to link to the camera remotely over wifi and configure it as well as set it recording similar to current action cameras although I wouldn't fancy doing that mid-flight unless you had a separate device to the one being used to fly the drone.
I agree... I can't imagine how well that would work, given that connecting the camera remotely over wifi will typically only work in very short range.
It could be like the old days with the P1 and P2, just turn the camera on at the start, and hope for the best. At least with a 360 camera you could reframe the shot as needed, and with a camera already on your drone that you could see through the controller, it would take much of the guess work out of it.
That would certainly be my approach as I'd want to be focused on controlling the drone and you're right that the 360 degree shot isn't going to need any framing.
It is a cool idea although I've never been pleased with the 360 camera I've tried, it burns through battery and storage space and I've never managed to get good quality from it. Which is a shame as the software stabilisation is absolutely incredible and it's much simpler than a gimbal but I've given up and gone back to standard cameras.
