Here, we’ll go over every one of the 1o options for shooting some form of VR footage that you can buy online today, from the least expensive, “Youtube-ready” cameras to the most expensive, “Oscar-ready” ones. While most of the “professional” options are rental only or exclusive to the studio that built them, there are still some cameras available to those looking to get Hollywood-level footage with their own equipment.

While there are a ton of companies talking about their Virtual Reality futures, there are only a few that actually have recording solutions ready to go right now. While it is still far from mainstream, VR is definitely picking up some momentum, and it seems like there’s a new startup or tech giant announcing their take on the VR camera rig every day. A lot has changed since you entered your deep-sleep hibernation or whatever it was that kept you from hearing about the rise of VR over the past two or three years. It does not store any personal data.If you’re unaware of the impending domination of Virtual Reality, I’d like to be the first to welcome you to the year 2016.

No need to press the recording buttons of each camera to start recording.Ĭheck these cameras out for your Christmas 360 shopping! Simultaneous recording of 4 cameras can be done from QBiC app (on iOs and Android) by connecting 4 cameras to Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is used here, as in other similar devices to synchronize with your Smartphone or tablet, which can serve as a viewfinder. One of the important features is the Wi-Fi synchronization. This set up will be at least three times cheaper than a 360Heros rig and six GoPro cameras 3+ Black Edition. There are no reflections or glare from an external lighting source such a fluorescent light. The QBiC Panorama X allows you to make 360-degree panoramic video recording without being affected by lighting in the environment. Fewer cameras will increase the accuracy of the stitching work and reduce the amount of work needed.

Conventional 360-degree panoramic video recording systems use many cameras that require a lot of time and work for stitching videos after recording. The top connector can be used to mount 3D microphone arrays, or additional gear such as lights.

Thanks to a horizontal field of view of 185º only four cameras are necessary to capture the full sphere, 360 x 180 degree, without nadir hole (no blind spot). The sharp super-wide fisheye lens makes it an excellent candidate for a 360º video setup.

QBIC is a Japanese made camera that provides some serious and cool features for the money.įor $1,399, QBIC is a serious piece of gear to contend with. For the pros, Theta S may not provide all the desirable features that one is looking for. In one of earlier posts this week, we provided you with reviews of an entry level 360 spherical camera with two lenses.
