admin (Simon W) Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Unless you have been living in a non-Internet-enabled cave, you’ll probably have you seen the 360º video of the Blue Angels flying in super close formation. It’s taken from the cockpit. Today, 360º photography and videography has taken a big step with Kodak’s latest PixPro SP360 4K, Because you are basically buying 2 cameras to make up this 360 rig, the cost is a little on the (non impulsive buy) type number of £749, and arguably will price most go-pro type users out of the market. Personally, I am on the verge of 'something 360' being added to my camera case but I am not sure yet if this is it. As luck would have it, I have managed to blag one for a couple of weeks with some cool new software. It should be here in about a week so I will let you know how I get on and of course, pump out some clips for your viewing pleasure SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admin (Simon W) Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 With 360 video it's all about the sensors (the more the merrier) more lenses = more sensor area = cleaner footage. In essence the Kodak above has an 8k sensor (made up of 2x4k) this is double the one you linked too. Hence the price I guess. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin (Simon W) Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 This is super ugly and expensive but I can see why technically the footeage will be soooooo much better than the Kodak and other 1/2 lens options. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dariuszk24 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 And hoopless is well You can clearly see gopro has weird colors and not very natural view for space price Kodak 2 x 4K cam wit 10fps in max res.??? For over 700£ Samsung also has 2x4K cam with 30fps in But yes all cams are not yet there to be really interesting No one worth expectation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin (Simon W) Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 Got to be honest here... My personal preference would be the Kodak based on the greater dynamic range. The shot looks 100X better than the samsung to me. I think that non of the 360 rigs are great at 'record and share' type clips, I would expect to colour grade the shots and edit them as normal. Starting off with a greater dynamic range of colours makes that process easy peasy. On top of that, I don't need or want another phone. (at an added cost of £300 ish) bringing that unit close to the Kodak in price. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
