The best 360-degree camera

The Wirecutter:
>A 360-degree camera is great if you want to capture the full view of the summit on Half Dome or take in all of the surrounding architecture in the Piazza San Marco in Venice and share that experience on Facebook or YouTube so friends can pan around a scene and fully be there in the moment.

>After researching 360-degree cameras for 30 hours and testing four top contenders, we think the Ricoh Theta S is the best affordable, user-friendly entry point into this rapidly-developing new category of photography.

I’ve used the recommended camera and, while it’s very specific in its application, can produce some interesting pictures and video. Here’s an example:

Yeah – it was cold but so much fun even only for a little while! – Spherical Image – RICOH THETA

  3. I’ll wait for a stereoscopic 3D camera for VR. I find 360 video and pictures useless unless view in VR and stereoscopic which the cameras in this article do not do.

  4. Thanks. We’ve got about 10000 miles scheduled for this year and I want to buy one of these cameras to capture some of it. I think 360 is the way to go.

  5. Honestly, I don’t know if that’s true. That’s a lot of miles (even if you only record a small part of it) and editing 360 stuff is a giant PITA.

  6. I tried GoPro’s last year and learned that I just missed too much with a fixed camera. All the roads look the same after a while. So I was hoping to catch more of the surrounding areas with a 360 cam. Hope to plan a head and just grab short clips on the best roads. We’ll see how it goes!
