I rented a Ricoh Theta X and did a full shoot for a Virtual Tour and evidently the heading data (also called GPSImgDirection) of the camera was off by about -20º for the whole shoot. Its impossible to know that when shooting but I figured it out when I was generating the tour. Luckily the tour software let me adjust it so I didn't have to reshoot it. I recalibrated the compass before as well, so I'm just seeing if anyone out there had experienced this as well?

Hello guys

I am searching about insta360 cameras and have a question,

Can i livestream insta360 X2 and X3 directly in the computer with usb cable ? In 360 mode?

If so, how long can i livestream? indefinitely?

Thanks in advance!

Long story short, I lost my Z1 and I am looking to get a new one. Z1 is an amazing camera, but it is dated 2021 (or earlier). I am pretty sure things have changed since then.

I am looking for a 1 inch sensor camera (it is a must), that can save RAW photos (DNG or any other format) and optionally LOG3 videos.

Suggestions?

About 10 years ago, I bought an Insta360 Nano camera that attaches to my iPhone. It was terrific, but then I upgraded my iPhone last year, and the male lightening connector on the camera no longer seats onto the female lightening connector on the phone -- the phone is just a smidge too thick for the Nano now.

So, instead of attaching it to my phone, I've been using it independently. The only problem is that I have no idea what the photos or videos look like in the moment (because it can't attach it to the phone).

I mainly my Nano 360 it when I'm on vacation to take 360 degree photos or videos for myself. Insta360 gives you a little cardboard "VR headset" for viewing the photos on your phone in a 360 degree format. Obviously, I haven't been able to do that, either with my new phone! I'm getting a male to female lightening cord to see if that helps, but really it's not an optimal solution.

Since the camera no longer fits onto my phone, I'm thinking of getting something different. My goal is the same: to take photos and short videos of memorable events or vacations. I hope to be able to upload these into a real, high quality VR headset to be able to enjoy them without needing to use a phone. I don't know anything about VR headsets. I don't know whether any 360 degree camera files/file formats can be used with a VR headset. Obviously the Insta360 Nano stores the data on a micro-SD card. I assume I could download its files into a VR headset (or put the micro-SD card into the headset) ??????

So I'm coming here for guidance. Black Friday is coming up soon, so if there is a good deal on something, I'd like to be prepared!

Thank you!!!!

Just bought a Qoocam 3 ultra to replace a GoPro hero 8. After some testing, and lots of debugging, I find the GoPro image to be a lot sharper than the Qoocam. Is that to be expected? Are single lens action cams generally going to provide a starkly better image (quality)?

I'm planning on attending the British Grand Prix next July and have been wondering for a while whether a 360 camera might be the best way of recording the action without feeling like I'm watching the entire event through a screen. Is the resolution good enough to be able to capture fast-moving cars and enable a novice to edit the action down to footage that looks like the camera was panning? I am thinking that this might allow me to edit the same take down several times, following each car individually - that would be very cool!

What’s the max resolution and bitrate for the livestream and what software & computer You used ?

Has anyone tried to use 360 cameras in their layout for optical character recognition for scanning text. I just have this idea to use 360 camera so it can see different angles of the layout instead of using many cameras.

The vuze.camera site is now gone. The app was yanked. I can't find a way to download:

• VR Studio software for PC
• Vuze Camera software for mobile
• Firmware
• Manuals

Did anyone archive this stuff before the site was taken down?

And if I can't get the thing to work, what's the new leader for cheap 360 VR video recording?

Hello, I need to download the firmware update for my theta and the maco usb cable connected two r connect to the app on my Mac. I can see it’s charging but nothing is coming through. I need to use the camera with Matterport but the app dosent direct the camera. It works with the theta app. Please help!

So I was looking on the GoPro website today and noticed that the Max is listed as unavailable and discontinued.

How long has it been marked as discontinued?

Hopefully this means that the release of the Max 2 is just around the corner.

Hello...

I wanted to buy a 360 camera to film my trekking.

Right now I'm using an Action Camera in 4K and the way I use it is to start recording at the start of the trek and only stop the recording at the end of the trek, usually is around 8 to 10 hours (I only pause 2 or 3 times in each trek for around 10-30 minutes each time).

My Action Camera is always connected to a Power Bank.

Everything works like the way I want.

But when I started researching 360 Cameras to use the same way I use my Action Camera, I see a problem with overheating after 60-80 minutes of use.

Is there a 360 Camera with 5K or 8K that can be used the way I use my Action Camera ?

Thank you !

YMMV. This worth picking up, with the X4 out now?

Got the cam and was testing it. After a while of recording, the audio would be vastly out of sync with the video. Seems like the longer the video gets, the worse the ‘lag’. It happens with the most recent firmware 1.0.1.23, as well as the previous .22 firmware. It happens with unlimited video length, and 20min limit.

I’ve reached out to support, but was wondering if anyone has experienced this, or has any advice. I’m new to this brand and 360 videos.
